Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 850 Shipbuilding Base
On the third day after Qin Feng came to Longquan Temple on Cuiping Peak in Changshan, he went down the mountain without accomplishing anything.

Jia Xu saw that the lord's work failed, on the one hand, he felt the twists and turns, and on the other hand comforted him: "My lord, don't be discouraged, let's think of other ways."

Zhao Yun said again: "My master is addicted to fish. If he can really find fish that master has never eaten before, he will succeed. However, master has traveled the world for nearly a hundred years and has eaten fish all over..."

"What an old monster..." Pang Tong muttered, he was only in his 20s, just a fraction of Zuo Ci's age.

Qin Feng signaled that it was okay, and said: "Since we have come out, let's go to the Northland Academy of Sciences to have a look."

Everyone thought that Qin Feng was going back to Beijing, but they didn't expect to go to the Academy of Sciences.They have also heard of the name of the Northland Academy of Sciences, which is in Tanggu Port.Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan are in charge, who specialize in researching new gadgets.The main project now is the research ship, a ship that can enter the deep sea.

Pang Tong came from Jiangnan, and said happily: "Yes, my lord, let's go to the Academy of Sciences to have a look. With a huge warship, we can start the era of great navigation."

So, everyone was depressed and followed Qin Feng to the Academy of Sciences.In fact, Qin Feng knew in his heart that sea-going ship research was still in its infancy, and there was still a long way to go before the era of great navigation.

Everyone galloped on the avenue, and two days later, they entered Tanggu Port.

Old Jia Xu sighed, "Although the road is not long, it used to take about five days, but now it can be reached in two or three days. This is inseparable from the master's road construction."

"If you want to get rich, build roads first, my lord is right." Pang Tong said.

Road construction is not just about boosting the economy and making travel easier.Roads are the foundation of an empire's territory management.

Tanggu, before, was just a deserted coast.

However, when Qin Feng used this place as the address of the Northland Academy of Sciences and the sea-ship research base, thousands of skilled craftsmen came here, and the place became lively.

After half a year of development, it has begun to look like a harbor.

Standing on the sea rock, the long coastline looks like a blue necklace, and the port wharf located in it is the pearl of the necklace.

Under the sunshine, the sparkling sea, rolling waves, blue sky, white clouds, seagulls, islands and reefs constitute a beautiful picture.

Originally, Tanggu could form a large-scale port city based on the Academy of Sciences and the base.But at present, the secrecy work of keel shipbuilding is more important, which is related to who can start the era of great navigation first.

Therefore, due to Qin Feng's extremely high level of secrecy, Tanggu has completely become a militarized base port, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it.

"who!"

A group of troops arrived at the gate leading to the interior of the base, and the defenders blew their horns.

It was Qin Feng and the others who came, they stopped at the gate, and everyone saw that Gan Ning and Tai Shici, with a few people, were outside the gate, as if they were waiting for something.

"It's the lord!"

The soldiers of the Qin army at the base were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

Immediately the gates were opened, and the garrison swarmed out to worship the roadside.

Qin Feng signaled everyone to get up, he was a little surprised that Gan Ning and Tai Shici were here, and said, "Ziyi, Xingba?"

Tai Shici and Gan Ning were embarrassed, and saluted again: "My lord, we are here to see the boat."

Qin Feng smiled and suddenly realized.He was quite relieved that the commander of the navy was concerned about the construction of the ship, so he asked, "Why didn't you go in?"

"My lord, these soldiers won't let us in, saying that we must be approved before we can enter." Tai Shici said.

Gan Ning yelled, "It's not the first time I come here, every time I have to approve."

Qin Feng smiled and said: "That's just right, let's go and have a look together."

Since Qin Feng personally led the team, everyone was exempted from the approval process and followed Qin Feng into the base.

Everyone knew that Gan Ning and Tai Shici were the captains of the navy, and they were usually at the base of the Yellow River.This time around here, it goes without saying that this is a new boat that can't wait.

Afterwards, Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan came after hearing the news.

Speaking of which, since the establishment of this base, Qin Feng came here for the first time.

Led by Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan, Qin Feng then visited the base.Although it cannot be compared with the huge shipyards of later generations, Qin Feng's base is also quite large.

The five-story building ship, built in the dock, is also quite impressive.

Inside the base, there is also a bustling work scene.

Qin Feng asked: "How is the development of the keel technology?"

The keel technology will give the ship higher displacement, stronger stability and stronger.The meaning of keel technique was already well understood by Qin Feng's senior management.

The arrival of Qin Feng led the Chinese people to understand the vastness of the world in advance, and there are too many places that have not been explored, so huge wealth is sleeping in unexplored places.And the huge violent ocean isolated one place after another.Today's flat-bottomed boats cannot conquer the sea.

After understanding why oceangoing, keel technology becomes more important.

Qin Feng's Tanggu base is divided into several areas, including the academic research area of ​​the Academy of Sciences, the shipbuilding area, and the simulation area.

Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan took Qin Feng to the simulation test site.

This is a modified sea reclamation place, that is, a huge pool was dug on the coast, and a dam with a gate was built on the side of the sea.

Huang Chengyan said: "This is to simulate the huge wind and waves in the sea."

Everyone saw that there were two ships in the simulation area at the moment, one with a deep draft and one with a shallow draft.These two ships are three-story fighting ships, but they are just a hull, but heavy objects are placed inside to simulate the displacement of a real ship.

The engineering design here was all designed by Qin Feng. Instead, he acted as an explanation, saying: "This deep draft boat has keel technology, and this shallow boat is a flat-bottomed boat."

After that, the experiment started.

Since the artificially dug 'sea pool' is lower than the sea level, after the dam is opened and the water is released, the seawater can easily simulate the big waves in the sea after passing through several curved facilities designed by Ma Jun.

The simulated huge wave was more than ten meters high, and Jia Xu, Pang Tong and the others were stunned immediately.But Tai Shici and Gan Ning and other water generals were radiant and their blood was boiling.

When a big wave hit, the flat boat capsized during the second and third, but the keel boat was fine.

However, after the keel boat persisted for a while, some parts disintegrated, sea water poured in, and finally sank.

Ma Jun hastily ordered to close the gate, and said shamelessly: "My lord..."

Qin Feng motioned him not to say more, and explained: "In the sea, the wind and clouds are unpredictable. Storm areas will always appear suddenly, forming strong winds and waves. It can be as short as a few minutes, and as long as a few days and nights. Flat land ships cannot enter the deep sea. Because I can’t bear the big wind and waves, I can’t go back. But with the keel technology, it’s different, but for the time being, this technology still needs to be perfected.”

Everyone was at the seaside, and the waves on the beach beat against the shore, one after another without stopping, one can imagine the waves in the deep sea.

Qin Feng specifically said to Ma Jun and Huang Chengyan: "Don't worry about failure, failure is the mother of success."

Everyone couldn't help being moved, failure is the mother of success, what the lord said is very good.

Only at this time did Ma Jun have the opportunity to say: "My lord, just the day before, a ship with complete keel technology passed the real sea test. But the keel technology used on larger fighting ships and building ships is still not perfect. .”

The warship is the smallest of the warships, and it can carry more than a dozen people.

But Qin Feng was still very happy, saying: "It's really great to have a keel-technical scorpion in only half a year."

Suddenly his heart moved, and he asked: "Can this keel warship go to sea now?"

　Thanks: Qiuxue, Xia Liao, Shuyou 1·503 and other brothers for their rewards.
