I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 187 Stabilizer Keel
Shenzheng in the afternoon.

The wind and rain continued, and the city was like night.

In such bad weather, a vehicle with a pass-through chaser drove into Linmuyuan.In the Jin Dynasty, the Tongyue chasing car was not an ordinary post car, but a status symbol bestowed by the imperial court.

Under the third-rank officials, if they meet with a chasing chariot, the chariot and horse must give way.

The chief craftsman of Lin Muyuan received the news early, and came out to greet him with an inspector. This inspector was the Xing craftsman who planned to rebuild the wooden boat early in the morning.

The chasing car came to a complete stop, the oil-paper umbrella was propped up step by step, and Wang Changyu got down.

At night, when Zi Chou handed over.

reed pavilion.

"Father, save me. The water is too cold. I can't stand it anymore. There are fish biting my eyes and water pouring down my nose."

What happened to Ah Shu in the dream, Wang Erlang empathized with him. He also felt that foreign objects hit his eyelids and water was poured into his nose. He waved his hands carelessly in discomfort and woke up.

Oh My God!It's Ah Peng, peeing on the mat again.

The child didn't know why he was sleeping, and was lying in front of Wang Erlang's face, urinating on his face.

Fortunately, he woke up, the house was leaking in several places, and the rain in his place was almost in a ticking line, no wonder he was cold all over. "Brother, get up quickly! Ah He, A Peng, Hutou get up quickly!"

After waking up the family, they realized that the main house was also leaking.Wang Weng hurriedly asked Ah He to go to the pavilion official. His thatched roof was leaking like this, and I am afraid that every household is like this.Some people sleep deeply, especially the elderly and children, and it will be too late to wake up from the cold.

Wang He put on his coir raincoat and straw hat and rushed into the rain. Before he reached the pavilion, he heard Cheng Shuang and Lu Wu patrolling the night, knocking on Diao Dou and shouting: "Get up and see if the rain leaks in your house! Who is it?"

"It's me, Wang He. My elder father asked me to come to you. My house leaks badly. Maybe every house leaks."

"It's just right, take this trick, you shout along that road, and when you walk back, you see that no one is moving, so shout and knock more."

"Okay, leave it to me! Don't worry."

Shanyin County.

Wang Ge was awakened by the crickets outside the window.Has the rain stopped?What time is it?

She turned around, and there was another craftsman missing in the room, it was Miss Xu, who had not completed the task for two consecutive days and was eliminated.Lady Xu was ashamed to stay until tomorrow, so she packed her bags and left in the rain.

People really meet in a hurry and part in a hurry.Another acquaintance who may never see again for life.

After sighing, Wang Ge felt even more homesick.Is it raining heavily in Weiting too?Are all thatched roofs, leaking rain?Dad's back disease is not committed, right?Hutou is about to go to Qinghe Village to study. He is still young and has never been away from home for a long time. Can he get used to it?

Alas, the last time she made the "Shu" beast, the reward was to allow her to make utensils privately and sell them in designated wooden utensil shops, but unfortunately she never had time to spare.There is no way, the exam is coming in October, and the time left for her to improve her crafting skills is getting tighter and tighter.

Only in such a late night, Wang Ge indulged his random thoughts, and soon fell asleep again, and woke up refreshed.

Carpenter Hu learned her lesson and stopped following Wang Ge to pick luck.Walking out of the courtyard, there was water on the flagstone path. She hopped and stepped on the clean ground, but she didn’t protect her head. The tree was blown by the wind, and the water droplets from the branches and leaves covered her head and face in an instant, and her head and coat were all wet. .

Wang Ge bared his teeth coldly.Under the circumstances yesterday, where will the craftsman hide the mission of luck?She must go to the kitchen first, and when she entered the tent, she was dumbfounded, why are there so many people?It's broken, it must be the news that the chef has a lucky mission.

A few would-be craftsmen searched for clues under various oilcloth sheds, including firewood stacks, tank bottoms, and urn cracks.

Most people gathered around a large stove that was not in use. Among the crowd, three people wearing straw hats were conspicuous, two of them were wearing official clothes, and they were craftsmen.

what's the situation?Wang Ge also came over and tiptoed to find a crack to look in.

A wooden boat model was placed on the stove, which was an eye-opener for her, and she felt that it was no different from the ship models of later generations.One side of it is a complete hull shape, and the ship building on the deck has three floors; the other side is internal compartments (ten), wheelhouse, perforated rudder, keel, ribs and other structures.

What is a perforated rudder?Wang Ge looked suspiciously at the craftsmen, and one of them was the inspecting craftsman yesterday morning.She understood a little bit, maybe a certain force wants to build a long-distance ship, and collect good methods for modifying the ship's structure before building the ship.

Xing craftsman saw Wang Ge, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Repeat again, this is a difficult task. Improve the structure of the wooden boat, or reduce resistance, or stabilize, or increase defense, or help combat power. No one answered for a moment. , this question is invalid. The time limit for this task is half an hour, if you can’t complete it, you will be disqualified from the master craftsman exam. The reward will be announced after completion.”

half an hour?Is the punishment still so severe?Soon there were only five prospective craftsmen still hesitating.

What are you hesitating about sending sub-questions?Wang Ge covered the wooden boat with one hand, and raised the other hand: "I will accept the task."

Wang Ge did not study ships at all, and all the history of ship development he knew was explained by the tour guide in the museum in his previous life.The tour guide's money is not in vain, she is now using the experience accumulated by the ancients to give back to the ancients.

Then give back.

After receiving the task, I made it in the corner of the kitchen, where it was out of the way.There is no shed in the temporary production area, but three layers of thick straw mats are laid to separate the wet ground.Wang Ge was inside, two craftsmen and another mysterious gentleman wearing a bamboo hat sat opposite her.

The mysterious man was rushing towards Wang Ge. After she glanced at him, she never looked directly at him again.The demeanor is too unusual, not a simple person, it is likely to be a person who has a difficult task.

This person is Wang Changyu, the eldest son of the prefect, and Wang Tian's elder brother.

The task wood is camphor wood, which is soft and easy to carve.Wang Ge saw out the long wooden strips, visually inspected the hull, removed the excess parts with a flat chisel, and first made the rough blank of the "stabilizing keel".

Yesterday's perforated rudder is the simplest and time-saving improvement method.The penultimate one that saves trouble should be regarded as adding a "keel stabilizer".Because it is installed on both sides of the outer body of the ship and at the corner of the hull (the bilge), it is also called "bilge keel".

The anti-rolling keel can be imagined as two wing-shaped long floating boards, which can increase the resistance when the hull shakes, thereby reducing the shaking of the ship when it encounters wind and waves.This ship model is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, in a "V" shape, which is suitable for such improvement.

Only one side of the ship model is a complete hull, and it is enough to cut a piece of thin wing-shaped wood as a floating board.After several comparisons, the radian is polished properly, but how can it be reinforced on the bilge without damaging the hull?

Carpenter Xing reminded with kind words: "It's a moment."

Don't hesitate, don't waste time!Wang Ge coughed dryly in embarrassment, and pretended to wipe the back of his right index finger under his nostril back and forth, blowing with the momentum, okay, quite sticky.She hurriedly wiped the snot that would soon dry on the side edge of the small floating board, and slapped the hull.

Breathe one, two, three... seven times.

It's ok... right?

She was afraid that the small floating board would fall off like the monkey tail last time, so she didn't dare to let go completely, she still held her fingertips, explaining: "I think so, let the bottom of the boat spread its wings like a bird, and when it walks along the water, It will be more stable than before. I came up with another problem-solving task from the leader, counting the number of animals and birds based on the number of heads and feet."

It was so embarrassing that no one responded to her.

It seems that this improvement alone is not enough.But she was very professional and insisted on the precautions for the stabilizer keel: "Build a wooden wing like this on one side and wedge it on the boat, but you must consider, what if one side is broken? What if there is a Regardless of the damage, the ship will tilt even more."

What's going on, no one has responded yet?

The chief craftsman and Xing craftsman: If the prince doesn't speak, what do they dare to say?
"En." Wang Changyu finally spoke, forcing himself to forget the scene of the snot sticking to the floating board just now, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
