I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 37 Flying Scissor Sailing Ship

Under Jiang Chen's words, Da Song began to act, and at this moment in the chat group, Jiang Chen was still talking.

"Los Angeles, no, it should be called Xinfeng at this moment, the new Kaifeng.

After more than half a year of construction, Xinfeng has begun to see its scale at this moment. Houses have sprung up one after another, and the surrounding area has been completely emptied.

A large number of trees have been cut down, and there are crystal ears of rice dotted on the rice fields. It can be predicted that this year must be a bumper harvest year.

At this moment, their lives seem to have hope again, and they are no longer the kind of dazed wandering above the ocean.

And in the city, there are even more dark-skinned figures at this moment.

His appearance is not much different from that of a Song Dynasty person, but he is not a Song Dynasty person.

And these people acted as the physical labor of the entire Xinfeng.

Zhang Shijie's cleaning not only cleared away the dangers around Xinfeng, but also provided enough labor for Xinfeng.

The original slow construction speed has suddenly accelerated a lot, and even the development of farmland outside the city has become a lot easier.

And not only that, a large number of Indian women were assigned to the guards and the single Song people, so that new families began to be born one after another.

The population of Xinfeng has also gradually approached 20 from more than [-].

But this is still not enough.

At the moment, it is in the center of Xinfeng, in a relatively gorgeous room.

Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, and the little emperor gathered again.

At this moment, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie are listening carefully to the little emperor's narration.

"Two teachers, sir said that this method should not allow the number of natives to exceed the number of Han Chinese, and the ratio should not be higher than five to one. In addition, for sea ships, sir said that there is a tree called "white oak" in America that can be used as sea ships. In addition New shipbuilding blueprints were also given."

The little emperor spoke, then turned his right hand, white light appeared, and then a thick book appeared directly in his hand.

"White Oak?"

"New drawings?"

Listening to the little emperor's narration, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie looked happy, and then they couldn't help looking at the book in Zhao Bing's hand.

They had obtained the blueprint of the treasure ship from Zhu Di before, and they couldn't help being shocked by such a huge treasure ship, but they didn't expect that the master would give the blueprint again, which made them a little curious.

As for what Jiang Chen said earlier, the number of natives should not be excessive, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie naturally knew that.

Such lessons have appeared countless times in history. Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie will naturally not make this kind of mistake.

Curiosity spread, Lu Xiufu subconsciously took the drawing.

The moment his eyes fell on the drawing, Lu Xiufu suddenly widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"It's so fast!"

Lu Xiufu muttered to himself with disbelief.

"What's the matter, Mr. Lu?"

Zhang Shijie was a little puzzled, and couldn't help being curious, so he brought his head closer, and upon seeing it, Zhang Shijie's pupils also widened.

Of course, it's not just the two who have this surprise at the moment.

On the other side, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Di, who had just received it subconsciously, couldn't help raising his head instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

But at this moment in the chat group, Jiang Chen's words continued.

"There is no need for Da Song to build a treasure ship. It is too time-consuming, and it is not very helpful for crossing the ocean. It is better to directly build a clipper sailboat. I will look for it!"

"I found it, and I will send it to you."

"This type of ship has a small freeboard and less superstructure, which not only improves the stability of the ship, but also can give full play to the role of the sail. The ship sails almost close to the water surface, and its aspect ratio is generally greater than 6:1. Its underwater shape It is designed with the minimum resistance to increase the speed, but maintains a certain transverse resistance profile, resulting in a particularly beautiful waterline, and even a concave in the waterline surface of the bow. The long and sharp curved scissor-shaped stem is a kind of The posture of racing can cut the waves forward to reduce the resistance of the waves on the sea, so it is called flying shear.”

"Before the steamship came out, this kind of ship was high-speed and widely used. Its maximum speed could reach 21 knots, and even the average speed exceeded [-] knots. It was the fastest sailing ship in history. Song and Ming wanted to develop the ocean. These things are essential.”

"By the way, please explain, the speed of one section is most likely more than four miles every half an hour!"

"At this speed, and in conjunction with the Mongolian Yuan's wreak havoc on the land of China, it is completely possible to immigrate and block the Mongolian Yuan at the same time. As long as the weather changes, the Song Dynasty can expel the Tartars and restore China."

Lines of text were typed quickly.

While chatting about the lack of people in the Great Song Dynasty, Jiang Chen accidentally talked about the ship.

After all, if you want to build a marine civilization, sea-going ships are indispensable. Although Daming has treasure ships, treasure ships have great advantages, but they also have disadvantages, that is, they are not fast enough.

Like a treasure ship in a castle on the sea, if it wants to be fast, it can only depend on things like wind speed and ocean currents. This speed is obviously not enough.

Needless to say, the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty really went to America, then a suitable sea ship is a must.

As for what kind of sea-going ship is the most suitable, there is no doubt that there is only a clipper-style sailing ship.

As the last afterglow of the steam age, the clipper sailboat can show its unique brilliance, let alone in the Song and Ming dynasties.

Once the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty possessed such a sea ship, this sea ship alone would be enough to establish an unprecedented maritime empire.

After all, the value that a sea-going ship with a short construction period and fast enough speed can generate is unimaginable.

Not to mention other things, if the Song Dynasty had a clipper sailboat, it could completely rely on the Americas for its development base, and then continue to immigrate from the Mongolian Yuan.

To a certain extent, an island chain can also be formed to directly block the Mongolian Yuan.

Although the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty did not need to care about the sea, they could not withstand the Song Dynasty, which could attack from anywhere on the long coastline.

Waiting for the death of Kublai Khan, it would be impossible for the losers of Meng Yuan to stop the troops of Song Dynasty.

And more importantly, the migration of a large number of people to the Americas is enough to preserve more of the Chinese classical civilization, and its significance is unimaginable.

In the room, Jiang Chen talked more and more vigorously, and his eyes couldn't help but bring a look of excitement, as if he really changed everything at this moment, and he was really manipulating the changes in Song Dynasty with his own hands.

There is no way, this thing is exciting even just thinking about it, let alone describing it personally.

So much so that he couldn't help but stop eating.
