Chapter 1138： Ironclad Dreams

  Chapter 1138 Imagination of the Ironclad Ship

After the civilian ship used for the test sailed back to the dock of the shipyard, Qu Mao was inexplicably surprised, and also felt grief and indignation. It turned out that the first judgment that the iron-clad ship was wrong. Not a great innovation.

Taking time to glance at the cheating system, the cheating system recognized this technological innovation, but it only gave the idea of ​​200 cheating points. Qu Mao’s current expectation for cheating in the cheating system is 100 million cheating points, 200 cheating points The value is basically negligible.

However, after roaring in grief and anger, Qu Mao quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, the shipyard has always been very low-key, and finally suppressed a self-developed technological innovation. Although it has no value, it is better than before. What is encouraged should be encouraged.

  After Qu Mao finished his rant, he collected his emotions, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Well, the technicians in the shipyard are pretty good, and they can come up with this idea."

  The technical worker said proudly: "My lord, thank you for your compliment.

The reason for this technical research idea is mainly because merchant ships and civilian ships often hit the rocks and sink or be damaged when they pass through the rock chain. The navy does not allow sunken ships along the rock chain. Salvaged by the navy and sent back to the shipyard, it is directly pulled to fill the cracks between the reefs.

  So the workers in the shipyard have been thinking about how to reduce this damage rate after repairing many such damaged ships that have run aground.

   After thinking about it for a long time, some technicians came up with a whim, and it seemed that the bow of the ship was more resistant to collisions with iron plates. After research, even the sides of the ship were covered with iron plates, and it became what it is today. "

  Seeing that Qu Mao just looked at him with a smile and didn’t express any opinion, the technician had no choice but to continue: “My lord, the early technicians directly carried cast iron plates, which would add a lot of weight to the ship to form an effective defense.

   Later, on a whim, some technicians used the forged steel plate method developed by Jiliehou State Shacheng Tiecun to cover it, and this has the current effect.

  But the coastal defense ballista can still penetrate this steel plate armor when fired within a range of 100 meters, and the technicians believe that the research has reached the limit now..."

  Listening to the technician's review, Qu Mao nodded repeatedly, and finally said: "The technicians of the Fucun Shipyard in Lidao can consider fishermen and actively think about technological innovation, which is worthy of encouragement.

  For the main technical personnel, each person will be rewarded with 1 gold coin, and for the technical personnel who assist in technology research and development, each person will be rewarded with 50 silver coins.

  However, you may also consider researching the ironclad ship I mentioned. "

  The technician was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you, sir, for your reward, but what kind of ship is an ironclad ship?"

   Qu Mao asked: "Have you not read the introduction to the application of different world technology in the library of Zhidao New Technology Research University? The so-called iron-clad ships are ships made entirely of steel..."

  The technician lost his voice and said: "My lord, stop joking with your subordinates. Steel is so heavy, how can it be used to build ships?"

   Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Now I'm sure that none of you at Fukumura Shipyard have read the book on the application of technology in another world.

  Why can’t steel make ships? Is it surprising that ships are made of steel? In another world all warships are made of steel. "

  Looking at the expressions of the technicians, Qu Mao asked helplessly: "Does your Fucun shipyard still have the steel plates covering the outer sides of civilian ships?"

  The technician said: "Yes, sir, in the forge."

Qu Mao asked the technician to take him to the forging workshop, found a steel plate with a thickness of 0.5 cm, a length of 2 meters, and a width of 1 meter. direction forging.

When the steel plate was forged until it was only 0.2 mm thick and the sides began to become irregular, Qu Mao then asked to forge a 1 cm deep pit in the center of the steel plate, then turned the steel plate around and carefully forged it on the Together.

   Such a huge steel plate was forged with a 60 cm wide, 2 meter long, and 1 cm deep pit in the middle, and an edge about 3 cm high was turned around.

   Then, Qu Mao arranged for four workers to carry the simply processed steel plate, found a pool, and put the steel plate down.

  The steel plate that had been simply processed did not sink immediately. After a full 10 minutes, water seeped in because some places on the edge were not hammered firmly, which caused the steel plate to slowly sink to the bottom of the water.

Qu Mao saw that the eyes of the technicians who received him at the beginning were about to pop out of their sockets, so he clapped his hands and said, "This is the reason why I said that ships can be made of steel. You follow this technical idea and slowly develop it. See Let's see how long it takes to get the ironclad ship out.

   If you come up with an ironclad ship, I will reward you heavily. "

  The technician swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "No wonder the friends in the factory said that you are the chief scientist of our Yi Gong territory, it is really amazing, but..."

   Qu Mao said: "These are all calculable. Steel warships can even be equipped with enough cannons. You should know the weight of a cannon, right?"

  The technician said: "Yes, my lord, the subordinates will immediately form a technical research team.

  It turns out that such a heavy material as steel can really be used to build communication, not a nonsensical delusion. To the book in the library of the Island New Technology Research University, the subordinates went back to find a technician to purchase a copy. "

Qu Mao smiled and said: "Go and buy it as soon as possible. Your Fucun shipyard can cooperate with top technicians from other shipyards to study together, including technicians from naval military bases. You can also transfer them to jointly tackle the ironclad ship project. I believe that You mentioned to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy that you are developing ironclad ships, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy will definitely support you with all your strength.

  By the way, the core technicians who were rewarded with 1 gold coin just now, you report their names to the Navy. The Navy is preparing for the University of Shipbuilding. Let these core technicians take the position of professors of the University of Shipbuilding by the way. "

  The technician said: "Yes, my lord, the subordinates will make arrangements.

   I just hope that you have time, sir, to come to Fukumura Shipyard to guide our research and development work. Fukumura Shipyard also wants to create greater value for the territory. "

   Qu Mao said: "You guys go ahead first, Master Kong Ming will return to the lord's hut in October, and I will pay attention to you at that time."

  The technical worker was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, sir!"
