Become the city lord from today

"One two one, one two one……"

A chorus of uniform shouts came from afar. Before Liu Feng reached the dock, he heard the familiar sound of military trumpets.

"One two one, one two one……"

As the soldiers ran closer and closer, they trotted profusely with sweat and moved rhythmically to the sound of trumpets.

"This is like exercising."Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction. Compared with the training he saw a few days ago, he was very satisfied with today's training. In the training a few days ago, he didn't even see much sweating. The amount of sweat now is like exercising. As long as There is no big problem in keeping up with salt water, warmth, etc.

The soldiers put down the wood and lined up to run to the Forbidden Mountains. There was still a lot of wood there. This was the last trip. They could finish this trip. Went back for lunch.

Darlene stared blankly at the groups of people carrying logs. These people gave her the same feeling as the knights in the royal capital. No, it was a little different. That is, they moved more neatly. No As lazy as those knights

"Mr. Liu Feng, who are they? Darlene asked curiously

"my soldiers."Liu Feng chuckled, and seeing Darlene's confused eyes, he added,"They are the knights you think of, but here, they are all soldiers."

"Soldier?"Darlene raised her eyebrows. This was a strange title.

However, she was also surprised that she actually asked the knight to move the wood. This is something she would not dare to think of in other cities. The knight just needs to practice swordsmanship, equestrianism, and spearmanship. It's impossible to move wood.

Liu Feng didn't explain the meaning of the word"soldier". He would not admit too many knights. Otherwise, class struggle would appear, and soldiers would be the mainstream in the future. Sooner or later, knights would He replaced it with the military system

"Kakaka……"

"bang bang bang……"

The shipyard is in full swing. Hundreds of people have gathered here. Under the command of more than a dozen shipbuilders, they are sawing wood, digging holes, etc., and are working in an orderly manner.

There are dozens of tents nearby, which are places for people to keep warm, eat and drink water. After all, you sweat too much at work, and you will get sick and cold if you are not careful.

"Lord City Lord."A steward saw Liu Feng and quickly saluted respectfully.

"What about Whiskey?"Liu Feng glanced around and saw no one.

"Lord City Lord, Weishi is directing the work at the gap."The steward said respectfully

"oh?"Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, has he already begun to repair the gap?

"I'll call him over."The steward said quickly

"No, take me there and take a look. Liu Feng shook his head and said, he also wanted to know what the gap had been transformed into.

"yes."The steward hurriedly stood aside.

Weishi was directing people to dig holes and bury wooden piles in the gap on the shore, and build a wooden platform. The wooden platform should be tilted. The shipbuilding work started on the wooden platform. As long as the wooden plugs were used, Just block it to prevent the ship from sliding into the water. After the ship is built, you need to remove the wooden plug, and then you can enter the water along the wooden platform.

This method is actually a coastal shipbuilding method. After all, a ship is too heavy. It was a bit too strenuous to pull it into the water manually.

When Liu Feng came to the gap, he frowned. Not to mention the slipway (wooden platform), the dock roof, etc., there was not even a dock frame. There was no cement like this. 'Artifact', the construction process is indeed very slow

"Lord City Lord, you are here."Weishi saw Liu Feng and immediately ran over to salute. He was a little nervous, for fear that he might not do that well. After all, this was the first time he had accepted such a big task.

"How about it? Any questions? Liu Feng asked lightly.

"No, everything you need is here."Weishi shook his head and said, can you be dissatisfied? You need people to give people, and you need wood to give wood. Even the woodworking tools are unprecedented, such as the saw, the chisel made of fine steel, etc.

"One slipway will be built first, and the rest will be expanded next year."Liu Feng warned, what he wants is an indoor slipway. After all, it is a wooden product. Before it was painted with waterproof tung oil, it was exposed to wind and rain. After all, the service life will not be too long. Moreover

, next year's expansion will not be like this. It is a wooden slipway, but a pure cement slipway, or a diversion type slipway, which relies on diversion to create buoyancy, and then pulls it into the river.

The most important thing is that it can be made with cement pillars and steel, combined with pulleys The bridge crane only needs to be pulled manually, but it has the principle of labor-saving pulleys. Only a few people can lift many times the weight. That is the equipment prepared for building large ships.

By then, the speed of shipbuilding will increase Many times. After all, the most time-consuming thing is transportation, especially for tall and large ships. It takes a lot of time to move wood from under the ship to the top.

"yes."Weishi quickly responded. In fact, he also thought so. After the first ship was successfully launched, he had to expand before he could have the confidence to expand.

"What wood was used to build the boat? Liu Feng asked curiously. He had never seen the actual object, and he had never heard of the name of the wood.

"It's a spotted cedar tree."Weishi became excited when he said this and said quickly,"Lord City Lord, this kind of wood is the most suitable for shipbuilding. Its hardness is only slightly worse than iron wood, but it is very corrosion-resistant and can be soaked in water for a long time.……"

It turns out that this spotted fir tree only grows in a few places, and there is a large forest of spotted fir trees in the Forbidden Mountains near Xiyang City.

Weishi went to inspect it personally and found that the number of ships would not be used up for hundreds of years. This is simply a gift to him. For example, if the coastal shipyard wants a ship made of pure cedar trees, the price is five times more expensive than an ordinary ship. more than

"Take me to see it. Liu Feng ordered

"yes."Weishi quickly led the way and took Liu Feng to the place where the spotted fir trees were placed.

The spotted fir tree is a tall tree species, tall and straight, with dots of red streaks growing in the trunk. This is also the origin of the name of the spotted fir tree.

"What about the keel? What wood to use? Liu Feng then asked, the most important thing about a wooden ship is the keel.

"Ironwood."Weishi said seriously, if the spotted fir tree is a surprise, then the ironwood is an ecstasy. This material, which is comparable to iron, is the best ship keel. The single price of the iron rosewood is more than ten times more expensive than the spotted fir. It is generally used by big businessmen and nobles to make spear handles or furniture.

As for making ship keels, few people use it. It is expensive on the one hand, but mainly because it is rare. Only the Forbidden Mountains have iron. Redwood.

Liu Feng nodded. He knew this ironwood. It is famous for its strong wood and red heart. I heard that it took a knight a day to chop down an ironwood with a long sword.

This reminded Liu Feng of the ironwood on the other side of the earth. , it is also extremely strong, but not as exaggerated as iron rosewood.

As for why iron rosewood is not used to build a ship, it only takes half a year to process the wood alone. Liu Feng has heard that it takes four or five people to split iron rosewood into planks in one day. Get one.

Think about how many wooden boards a ship needs. I'm afraid just thinking about that number will make you hit the bottom.

Shipbuilding with iron red wood can be built, but not now. Liu Feng once planned to use iron red wood to build a ship, but It only took a year to build one, and this time taught him not to rush.

From now on, his big ships will be made of iron mahogany. He still wants to see the sea of ​​this world.
