Chapter 860 Spike-bottom Ship Vibration Ministry of Industry
There are two craftsmen named Tan Jun and Zhang Wu.
Arriving at Jia's house, Jia Ping'an expressed his request, and then asked the two to prepare things.
"Don't think about money."
It feels really cool to be an upstart, and it feels even better to spend money when you want to spend it.
Tan Jun asked cautiously: "Mr. Jia, what kind of wood do you want? The wood for shipbuilding...can be good or bad."
Jia Pingan frowned, "Didn't you hear me clearly?"
Tan Jun smiled awkwardly.
"Don't think about money."
Jia Ping'an was thinking hard.
Back then, he had watched a documentary on the history of shipbuilding, in which the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty accounted for the largest proportion, and he was also most interested.
It mentioned the debate about whether the treasure ship is a sharp-bottomed ship or a flat-bottomed ship. The program team thought it was a sharp-bottomed ship and released the restored drawings.
"A keel is a must."
Jia Pingan drew a slightly crooked keel.
"What else... the keel next to it."
"There are ribs, isn't this a person?"
After finishing the painting, Jia Pingan picked it up to have a look in relief.
"This is a sharp weapon for crossing the sea!"
He didn't know how to build the decks, and he didn't draw them; he didn't know how to make the cabins, either, so he didn't draw them.
"Huh! No."
"Where's the dragon tendon?"
I remember that the voice-over introduced at that time: This is the dragon tendon.
The dragon tendon is the thing that runs through the ribs, it cannot be missing, the ship will be deformed if it is missing.
"Fuck!"
After several revisions in a row, Jia Pingan said with satisfaction: "That's it."
He seems to have seen the majestic appearance of the Tang Dynasty's navy across the seven seas.
Tan Jun and Zhang Wu came back, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the drawings.
"A sharp-bottomed boat?"
"this…"
Tan Jun said cautiously: "Mr. Jia, this boat...if it is inappropriate."
He has been building ships for many years, but he has never seen a ship with such a structure, and he has no idea.
"Just do it."
Jia Ping'an is in a good mood.
The ship is being built here, and the Ministry of Industry began to spread the news that Duke Jia is going to challenge the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.
"It is said that Junjun Jia scoffed when he saw those ship shapes, and said that our Ministry of Industry has a group of wine bags and rice bags."
Huang Wan passing by with a straight face, "Who is spreading rumors?"
He is confident and proud, and he refuses to hit anyone with rumors.
Everyone was silent, and continued to mutter after he left.
"Mr. Jia said that he wants to get a brand-new ship type, but Huang Shilang tried hard to get no results. We can only wait and see."
"Mr. Jia..." An old official said with a smile: "This man's ability to fight on the battlefield can make me admire him, and his literary talent makes me worship him. It's useless to rack your brains, it will only become a joke in the end."
Everyone nodded.
"Who says no, Huang Shilang used to be in charge of shipbuilding in Taizhou. He stayed there for five years and was tanned when he came back, but he has since become a master shipbuilder. Duke Jia..."
Everyone smiled bitterly.
"If it were someone else, I would definitely sneer and laugh out loud, but as long as I think of Junjun Jia who burned to death one hundred thousand enemy troops, I can't bear it, that's all."
Mentioning this, everyone is in high spirits.
"One hundred thousand people! I don't know why Junjun Jia can do it."
"Idiot, if Duke Jia doesn't attack, do you want the brothers to kill them with a knife and a gun? Those brothers are not your relatives, so it doesn't matter if they are killed or injured?"
"I didn't say that..."
"Shut up." The old official had a lot of prestige, and he stopped the young official who said strange things, "Mr. Jia burned a hundred thousand enemy soldiers to death, but God will punish him. He fell ill just after he returned from offering prisoners in Zhaoling. Even the medical officers in the palace went all out to save him. That night..."
The old official's eyes were dim, "That night, the old man saw the rainbow. The rainbow came from the direction of Zhaoling, and went straight to the side of Daodefang, and then the news came the next day that Duke Jia woke up. You can see why ?”
A small official trembled with excitement, "This is...is this the late emperor showing his power?"
The old official nodded, stroked his beard and said proudly: "Mr. Jia went to Zhaoling to offer captives. The late emperor must have noticed that Mr. Jia is a good general of the Tang Dynasty.
After learning that he was condemned by heaven, the first emperor and Empress Wende joined forces to break up the punishment. That night, the old man saw the rainbow continuously pounce on the sky above Daodefang, and did not return until midnight... The late emperor was indeed powerful, even after the death of the immortal, he could still suppress the fate of the country..."
A small official was fascinated, "It would be great if I could go underground to serve the late emperor..."
Another official said: "It can be seen that Duke Jia is a loyal minister favored by the late emperor. No wonder His Majesty values him more and more... I think the late Emperor must have told His Majesty in a dream."
Everyone nodded, their faces full of excitement of having succeeded in gossip.
Then they dispersed.
A few days later.
Two small boats that can be taken by one person are built.
"Try!"
Jia’s house has a pool, and the lotus blossoms in summer are a sight to behold. Jia Ping’an likes to fish in the pool even if he is free.
"Aye!"
Two children came.
"Aye, is this boat for me?"
Doudou stretched out his hand joyfully.
"Later."
Jia Ping'an's heart moved, thinking about whether to expand the pool at home... The kind that can sail a boat, it's okay to ride a boat with his wife and children, it's cool to think about it!
Tan Jun and Zhang Wu carried the boat to the pool and put it down immediately.
The model swayed a few times, Tan Jun and Zhang Wu stared wide-eyed...
"Don't be biased!"
The wooden boat is stable, a batch of it is stable!
"Put the punt up."
Jia Ping'an is full of confidence!
The other one is a model of a punt.
The flat-bottomed boat seems to be more stable.
But the flat-bottomed boat was floating slowly, while the sharp-bottomed boat was quite stable.
"this…"
Zhang Wu's eyes widened, "It's a pity that there is no wind, otherwise we can try."
"There is no wind...Chen Dong, bring someone here."
The guards of the whole family came, and the commotion was too loud, which attracted Wei Wushuang and the others to come out to watch the excitement.
Chen Dong and the others took thick cloth and fanned desperately, and suddenly the wind blew up.
Both boats start rocking...
"Stir the pool."
Jia Pingan ordered.
Zhang Wu glanced at him.
Jia Pingan hugged Doudou who was struggling to get on the boat, and held the boss who was eager to try with one hand.
Being a father is too difficult!
Being the father of two brats is even more difficult.
Thinking that there are still two sons who are thriving, Jia Pingan can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
Du He went to find a few wooden boards, "Xia Huo, come here."
Xia Huo silently raised his severed arm...
Chen Dong and others were fanning the wind. Du He would naturally be proud of being a housekeeper, but at this moment he could only go into battle himself.
"I'm coming too."
"And I!"
The maids thought it was fun and joined in one after another.
The wooden planks stirred the water in the pool, and the fish immediately ran around in a panic. The water was completely muddied, rising and falling continuously.
This wave imitates well.
Both boats rocked more and more, but the steeple...
Half an hour later, Tan Jun and Zhang Wugong met their eyes.
Those eyes are full of disbelief!
…
In the early morning of the fifth day, Jia Pingan took two craftsmen to the Ministry of Industry.
"Mr. Jia."
Chen Jinfa cupped his hands in front.
"That... I won't go to the Ministry of War today, you go tell Xiang Ren."
Jia Pingan saved the daily check-in.
Chen Jinfa went back to report...
Ren Yaxiang was very old and still rested his chin on one hand, with a melancholy expression on his face.
Wu Kui smiled wryly, "Junjun Jia doesn't take the Ministry of War seriously any more."
"Where did he go?" Ren Yaxiang felt that the old man gave you convenience, but you also have to respect the Ministry of War, right? Is it difficult to have a snack every day?
"Mr. Jia has gone to the Ministry of Industry."
Ren Yaxiang waved his hand, and after Chen Jinfa went out, Wu Kui said: "Mr. Jia has made great achievements, but now he is just working on his qualifications. I dare say that as soon as his qualifications are achieved, His Majesty will give him a promotion..."
This girl's promotion has been scheduled. Are you angry?
Yaxiang Ren shook his head, "He's just waiting for his age... when he reaches his age, he will naturally be promoted."
That's why Jia Ping'an wandered around all day and refused to be trapped in the Ministry of War.
…
Ministry of Industry.
Make a cup of tea in the morning, and watch the sky outside gradually brighten, it feels quite good!
"Yan Gong!"
Yan Liben seemed to have seen Jia Pingan coming with billowing smoke, and he said with a sad face: "Go, invite Huang Shilang... I don't understand this, how can I be fooled by Xiao Jia."
Jia Pingan came in carrying the boat.
"It's... pointed?"
Yan Liben was taken aback when he saw the model, "Can you go into the water?"
Your words are a bit humiliating!
"I've seen Shang Shu, I've seen Duke Jia."
Huang Wan came and saw the two model ships on the table at first sight.
Flat and pointed bottoms.
"This is..." He took the sharp-bottomed boat, but underestimated the weight, and finally picked it up with both hands.
"Ahem! Can this ship sail long distances?" Huang Wan smiled.
Jia Pingan didn't want to beep with him, "Try it."
Huang Wan nodded, "Ahem, that's fine."
"Let's go to Qujiang Pond." Yan Liben thought that the best place in Chang'an City was there, "The water there is big."
"But it's not easy to make wind and waves there." The water surface of Qujiang Pond is huge, but there are also many people. Jia Pingan said flatly: "And there are too many people. If someone sees the shape of the boat..."
"Cough! You..." Huang Wan wanted to laugh, but held back.
Would others still want to learn your ship type?
"Then where else?" Yan Liben was at a loss, "I can't build a small pool."
"The British government has a big pond." Jia Pingan had already planned the test location, "That pond can even sail a boat."
The first emperor was generous to his heroes and was willing to give benefits. For example, the palace of Qi Wang Li Yuanji was rewarded to Yu Chigong. Yu Chigong built many towers and waterside pavilions during his lifetime, which can be called a huge scenic spot.
"Is the British lord willing to borrow it?" Yan Liben asked.
"Just go."
Jia Ping'an is very heroic.
That's someone's backyard, a group of men broke in... okay?
Huang Wan hesitated.
Immediately, a group of people left the room.
"Call some craftsmen."
Huang Wan ignored Tan and Jun.
"Where is this going?"
The old official is like an old turtle, huddled in a corner basking in the sun.
"Huh! Is that a model?"
Everyone saw the two boats being held, one of which turned out to be pointed.
"Mr. Jia made it up. This is for testing."
The old official was moved, "It would be great if I could go and have a look!"
But it was not his turn, Yan Liben just brought his two confidant officials there.
A group of people had just left the Ministry of Industry, and Li Jingye was already waiting, looking bored.
"Brother."
Jia Ping'an asked: "Did the family members tell me?"
Including him here, there must be eight people. It would be embarrassing to meet the female family members of Lao Li's family.
Li Jingye said loudly: "Don't worry, brother, I'm here!"
A group of people arrived at the British government house. As soon as they entered the backyard, Li Jingye shouted at the top of his voice: "The female family has avoided it!"
Flutter!
There are several big trees on the side, and the birds on the trees are startled to fly.
What a loud voice!
Huang Wan couldn't help being secretly surprised.
Poof!
Something fell on his forehead, and it was still warm.
Huang Wan stretched out her hand and touched it, black and white bird droppings...
Old man!
Li Yao accompanied Jia Pingan with a smile, "Are you going to try sailing?"
"Yes, call a dozen or so strong ones at home, and get some wooden boards to stir the water in the pool, and some thick cloth that can fan the wind."
Jia Ping'an acted casually as if he was at home.
Huang Wan lowered his body and said: "It is said that Junjun Jia and the British family have a good relationship. Now it seems that it is not just a friendship, but a good relationship between the whole family."
Yan Liben nodded, remembering what happened to Li Jingye in Sanmenxia last time.
The pool is very large, and there are a few ducks swimming leisurely on it. When they saw a group of strangers coming, they quacked and ran towards the shore.
The model was put into the pool, the sharp-bottomed boat shook, and the flat-bottomed boats were stable!
Huang Wan smiled, and said reservedly: "Let's try later."
Li Yao came with people, a dozen pieces of wood, and several large pieces of thick cloth.
"let's start."
More than a dozen people moved independently on the shore. Some people stirred the pool water with wooden boards, and some used thick cloth to fan the wind. Suddenly, there was a strong wind and waves in the pool, as if a typhoon was coming.
This scale is much larger than what Jia Pingan simulated at home.
The two boats swayed violently. The flat-bottomed boat looked a little suspended and tilted back and forth, while the sharp-bottomed boat seemed to be swinging back and forth, but it moved with the waves and was extremely stable.
"Huh!"
A craftsman was surprised: "This is actually stable?"
Huang Wan sniffed, "Ahem! This... the wind and waves are smaller."
Li Jingye stepped forward, "I'm coming!"
He took the board and stirred it vigorously...I'll go! In an instant, the vicinity of the two ships was turbulent...
"Wind!"
Huang Wan shouted.
"Strength!"
Those big men tried their best to fan the wind, and the wind blew up for a while.
Later ship designs all have equipment that can imitate the water regime, but here we can only play artificially.
The punt is already in jeopardy...
"Hold on! Hold on!" Huang Wan clenched her fists, her face flushed...
While he was praying, Li Jingye yelled loudly, the agitation was so strong that the waves rushed over and capsized the flat-bottomed boat.
Li Jingye froze for a moment, "Brother, did I do something wrong?"
You did a great job!
Jia Pingan wished he could kiss him.
The craftsmen were ecstatic, and none of them took off their clothes, just threw themselves into the pool, and bravely swam towards the sharp-bottomed boat.
Yan Li didn't know how to build a ship, so he looked at Huang Wan.
Huang Wan's lips squirmed, "Cough! Cough! Cough! This...why?"
A group of people are looking at Jia Pingan.
The craftsman in the water caught the sharp-bottomed boat, and when he heard Jia Pingan want to explain the problem, he kicked the water frantically with both feet, and even shouted regardless of his dignity: "Mr. Jia, wait a moment! Wait a moment!"
If this mystery cannot be solved, everyone will have trouble sleeping and eating.
"Brother, go drink."
Li Jingye took the opportunity to ask for leave today, and was going to take his brother to Pingkangfang to drink and shake his ass.
Yan Liben said sharply; "Business matters!"
Jia Pingan smiled, "First of all, you always feel that a sharp-bottomed boat is not easy to maintain balance, but on the contrary, it is quite good to keep a sharp-bottomed boat in balance; second, the sharp-bottomed hull is good for breaking water, so the resistance of the boat is smaller. It will be faster... Third, resist wind and waves..."
Jia Ping breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Wan couldn't wait to ask: "Why can it resist wind and waves?"
Poor people, the previous research ships were all flat-bottomed boats... Jia Pingan said: "A considerable part of the hull of the sharp-bottomed boat is underwater. When encountering wind and waves, the hull will tilt to one side, but the bottom of the boat will also tilt... the bottom of the boat will tilt. You have to push the sea water... With such a big bottom, how much force is needed to push the sea water?"
"I see."
A craftsman exclaimed ecstatically: "This sharp-bottomed boat has a draft under it. If it encounters wind and waves, the bottom of the boat can stabilize the boat... Such a wonderful idea uses water... Wonderful!"
Huang Wan closed her eyes, then opened them. Yan Liben had already reached the edge of the pool, pushing the sharp-bottomed boat to one side, "It's not easy to push!"
Of course, it is not easy to push. When people stand in the water and walk, they will feel the strong resistance of the water.
"Okay?"
Jia Pingan didn't take this matter seriously, "The details of this ship still need to be improved, so I'll leave this to you. Then report it to the court... Hurry up."
All the scenes of the landing battle are in his mind at the moment... In the smoke, the entire sea surface was covered by the sails of the Tang Dynasty warships, one by one sharp-bottomed boats approached, and then the catapults projected gunpowder packages to the shore; the crossbowmen fired wildly Crossbow arrows... The ships docked, and the soldiers began to land and fight...
It's so comfortable!
Wa country!
Jia Ping'an only has the Japanese country in his eyes!
After the ship was built, he swore that even if he wanted to tear his face apart, he would have to find a way to promote the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the Wa Kingdom...
must!
Jia Pingan was thinking about these things, with a calm expression, but in the eyes of others, he was as humble as a grain of salt...
He was not even half proud and reserved.
Huang Wan's heart was shocked, thinking of her self-confidence and pride, she was immediately ashamed.
"The old man almost insisted on going his own way... Shame! Shame!"
Huang Wan's heart suddenly moved, "Dare to ask Mr. Jia, it took a long time to build this kind of boat, how do you know that this kind of sharp-bottomed boat can withstand wind and waves?"
Yan Liben came back, and nodded when he heard the words, "Yes! If I want to come up with a new method, I will not only have to ponder for a long time, but also have to test it many times and constantly revise it..."
Xiao Jia, are you...
Jia Pingan was thinking about something, and said casually: "There is a lot of this kind of knowledge in the new school. You wait to calculate the knowledge. Those students who have knowledge about mechanics can make you wait like a heavenly book...Hey! Can you have a little refreshment, can you Can't you be more active, can you stop being complacent? I'm so sad!"
"You actually teach this kind of knowledge in mathematics?" Huang Wan felt like a bumpkin in front of Jia Ping'an, "Old man, go and see."
Yan Liben just wanted to dissuade him, but Huang Wan had already slipped away.
"Mr. Jia, wait for this old man to come back... buy you a drink, even if you want to go to the brothel, this old man treats you!"
Huang Wan's voice was still echoing, but he was gone.
…
Good night!
