The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 407 Cruiser

Zhao Shimin said loudly: "Yes, my lord, I understand, don't let them relax, they may really be exhausted to make more money."

Shi Jincai said: "My lord, the humble workers will take turns to rest every time. The mechanics will arrange major repairs during their rest, and the sharpening of the knife will not miss the woodcutter."

Huang Sheng asked several officials following the inspection: "How much money can the female workers earn for a month of hard work?"

Sun Jiwang was the person in charge of the experimental workshop of the cloth factory, and quickly replied: "My lord, these female workers are all skilled masters. Before working overtime for a month, they could earn one tael or five taels of silver. Now it should be more than two taels."

It's not bad that a skilled female worker's labor remuneration can catch up with the guaranteed monthly salary of a regular soldier, Huang Sheng is very satisfied.

He said to everyone: "Remember, you can't pay less benefits just because they have more monthly income. In summer, you should prepare more mung bean soup. In winter, every worker must change out of sweat-soaked clothes after work. You should publicize it more. Combining work and rest, management should start from the details."

"Yes, my lord, I know that I should treat every craftsman kindly." Everyone who heard the owner's order agreed loudly, and several busy female workers were already crying...

Thirty looms are producing canvas. Canvas is woven with multi-strand threads, so it is firm, wear-resistant, dense and thick. Naturally, the wider the better, the sail on the warship will have fewer stitches and more seams. durability.

The Han people used tung oil for anticorrosion as early as 1000 years ago, and this technology has been ahead of Europe for thousands of years. Today, the sails of the Huang family are all coated with tung oil to increase water resistance and corrosion resistance.

Applying tung oil does not mean soaking or brushing several times, but processing raw tung oil into cooked tung oil, dipping it with cotton yarn and rubbing it evenly over and over again. The service life of sails coated with tung oil is more than double that of European sails.

Such oiled canvas is also the best material for making marching tents, raincoats, umbrellas, and carports, so wide canvases are in great demand.

The Huang family has already started to use canvas to make labor protection overalls for craftsmen in steel factories, and is also producing canvas military shoes, and may even try to produce hot air balloons in the future.

This is a research project of the Huang family's technical team. Huang Sheng came up with the idea of ​​trial-manufacturing a burner fueled by kerosene to make a hot air balloon. If it succeeds, it will be more effective in finding enemies in the vast prairie in the future!

There were two scouts of the Huang family observing with Galileo telescopes on the hot air balloons that were launched one by one, and the Mongolian cavalry in a radius of dozens of miles could not hide.

The cavalry lost their concealment, and of course they lost the suddenness of their attacks. They would constantly fall into the encirclement of Huang Jiare's weapons and horses, and there would be no chance of a comeback in the future.

The output of the Huang family’s weaving and yarn mills has doubled, and the cost has plummeted, but the Huang family’s Songjiang cloth is still exported and does not compete with Daming’s private capital for the market. The whole country is a game of chess. Huang Sheng can’t make himself rich and let Daming’s tens of thousands Family workshops are difficult to sustain one by one.

So far, Huang Sheng has not allowed the large-scale mass-produced products of his system to impact Daming's already fragile economic balance.

I would rather go through some troubles and dump it to foreign countries. The European market is huge. Many European countries have accumulated too much wealth after plundering their colonies around the world.

This is of great benefit. High-quality and cheap cloth keeps pouring in, and the European textile industry, which is already inferior to others, lags behind Ming Dynasty by a century.

With the closure of the European cotton mills and cloth factories one by one, there are no more workshop-style cotton mills and cloth factories that have sprung up like mushrooms. If you don’t steal the technology of Huang’s family, the history of Europe will be rewritten. I am afraid that it will take 100 years. The post-spinning jenny may not even be invented.

There is no doubt that inventions, creations and technological innovations are the sparks of thought from the continuous labor of wise men. Without the support of the industrial chain, it is impossible to fabricate out of thin air, and it is not Huang Sheng's intentional cheating.

Daming is actually an advanced productive force in this era. Cotton spinning and silk weaving technology is world-famous, agricultural technology is a few blocks away from Europe, Han people’s minds are emancipated, and Wang Yangming’s psychology has far-reaching influence. The books published by Daming in one month are equivalent to the whole of Europe in a year. sum.

such a pity!pity!Just before the cold weapons were about to withdraw from the stage of history, the Tunguska barbarians jumped out. The luck of building slaves was so good, how unfortunate were the Han people!
The ship design team led by Zhao Shimin completed the design task assigned by the owner. The design of the three-masted galleon "cruiser" with a single-layer gun deck was successful. This time, two models were designed.

Zhao Shimin and the designers named the "cruise ship" after the civil servants and generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The "Guo Jia class" has a load capacity of [-] tons and a displacement close to the Daming No. [-] Fuchuan. The "Zhao Yun class" has a load capacity of [-] tons and a displacement of [-] tons.

The advantage of the new "cruising ship" is that it is simple in structure, easy to build, cheap and fast.Due to the propeller technology of the Huang family, the "cruise ship" designed by the Huang family is quite different from that of the West.

European "cruise ships" are equipped with more than 24 giant propellers in order to increase their speed. The Huang family does not need such inefficient human drive.

If the "cruiser" of the Huang family appears in Europe, their "cruise ship" can be completely exploded, because the "cruise ship" of the Huang family is fast and powerful.

The "Guo Jia" class "cruiser" is equipped with 24 guns of three specifications: nine-pound, twelve-pound, and 24-pound, including six rifled guns.

The "cruise ship" with a single gun deck is much shorter than the "battleship", which increases safety. The Huang family specially designed a seven-foot-high watchtower to make up for the limited vision due to its low height.

The "Guo Jia-class" "cruise ship" together with all the standard equipment design cost a total budget of 5 taels of silver.

Why is the cost not saved at all?Because the owner puts people first, he refuses to regard every trip to sea as a gamble of fate.

In order to prevent such fast ships from facing the risk of running aground, not only the multi-sealed compartments of Chinese ships are designed.

It also ingeniously used the technical advantages of Huang's springs to match the white copper plate with 64 sealed spring shock absorbers in the bow, just like the anti-collision device of the Hummer car, which is generally below the waterline of the bow. This device alone requires 5000 taels of silver.

With such a design, in theory, the "cruise ship" will not sink if it hits the reef at a speed of twelve knots, and the possibility of injury is not even high.

The ship is small, and the Huang family team has confidence in their design. They arranged seven ships under construction at a time. Such ships are not only used as warships, but also have a remarkable load capacity. They can be used as escorts for merchant ships in the future. Zhao Shimin thought it was too cost-effective to use things for both purposes, so he decided to mass-produce them.

On the ninth day of September, Huang Sheng set off again to Edo Bay to find the Japanese general who conquered barbarians to re-sign the "March [-] Treaty".

The main purpose is to increase the supply of rice, copper ingots, sulfur, saltpeter, and lead. Now "Huaxia Island" is next to Japan. In the future, most of the gunpowder will be produced in the "Huaxia Island" arsenal. The large-scale relocation of the arsenal on Scorpion Island has already Get started.

There is no diplomatic rhetoric in dealing with the Japanese country, which advocates the strong. Four huge battleships and dozens of small battleships are showing off their might in Edo Bay.

The little Japanese were stunned. They found that Ming's navy seemed to be getting stronger year by year, and they couldn't catch up even if they flattered themselves. Therefore, General Zhengyi corrected his attitude even more.
