How do these wolf-tooth warships be connected together?

Taichang originally thought it would be a bit difficult to connect the wolf-tooth warships together.

After all, their requirements are not simple, and this is reliable and not ordinary. It must be kept silent.

It is not possible to tie the wolf-tooth warship together with iron chains using a method similar to tying a cable, because the wolf-tooth warship will still shake, and once it encounters a sea storm, it will continue to collide.

You should know that both sides of the Wolf Tooth Warship are exposed paddling wheels, and they will be finished after a few hits.

It wouldn't be possible to use wooden boards to nail all the wolf-toothed warships together like Cao Cao. It would be troublesome to disassemble them at that time.

The Wolf-Tooth Warship cannot always be on the ASCHEU or the Dragon-Tooth Warship. It still has to be separated when fighting a naval battle, otherwise, it may be a series of fire.

In other words, the connections of the Wolf-Tooth Warship cannot be tied or nailed to death, and it must be easily disassembled. This is really difficult.

At least that's what he thinks.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Zheng heard the request made by him and Sun Chuanting, he said without hesitation: "This is simple, Your Majesty, why not bring a few wolf-toothed warships over here? Let's try it in the factory where the Xuanwu Armor is built now?"

This is still simple?

Taichang said a little incredible: "Liangfu, do you really think this is very simple?"

Wang Zheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, Master, we will know just by trying it. It should be fine."

Well, Taichang also knows that some things are not explained clearly after a long time of talking, but they are very simple to do. You can understand them at a glance.

Without asking much, he ordered Qi Panzong to recruit ten wheel boats. Then the group of people boarded the wheel boat and headed straight for the factory where Xuanwu Armor was built.

At this moment, there are many machine tools in the factory that builds Xuanwu Armor, and the scene is not ordinary.

The huge rows of factories are filled with various machine tools, which makes people feel proud.

Looking at the huge rows of machine tools in the Taichang Station workshop, I felt so proud.

This was done by him, and the Ming Dynasty has become stronger under his leadership!

Wang Zheng brought his group over to see the machine tool, so he directly called a manager and told him while gesturing.

The manager nodded repeatedly and then summoned several craftsmen to work hard.

Their movements were quite quick, and the opening of the material selection and shearing plate was completed in one go. In less than a cup of tea, the manager brought four craftsmen to carry two large iron plates.

Wang Zheng immediately bowed to Taichang and said, "Your Majesty, okay, why don't we go and try it now?"

That's fine?

Taichang couldn't help but follow Wang Zheng and the others to the dock with surprise.

Wang Zheng didn't say anything anymore, and waved his hand to direct the navy soldiers on the two Wolf-Tooth Warships to take out the ropes and tools, and dismantle the two Thoracle cannons on their sides!

One ship is demolished on the left side, and the other is demolished on the right side, and these two sides are exactly connected.

This time, Taichang immediately understood.

Because after the cannon was lifted down, the hole in the cannon seat was exposed.

There were two cannons on both sides of the Wolf-Tooth Warship, and two cannon seats. The cannons were originally riveted to the seats through large rivets. After screws were found behind them, they were changed to screw connections.

In other words, the Wolf-Tooth Warship can be connected by using the connecting hole between the cannon and the cannon mount.

Moreover, the cannon seat is quite reliable, and even the recoil of the 500-pound Thunder God cannon can withstand it. It is naturally no problem to connect the wolf-toothed warships together.

Wang Zheng ordered people to open the holes in the two large iron plates to face the holes in the cannon seats. Several craftsmen put the iron plates into the middle of the two wolf-toothed warships, and then quickly put the screws on, and the two wolf-toothed warships were firmly connected together.

At this time, Wang Zheng clapped his hands and said with a slight pride: "Your Majesty, Lord Sun, how about it? Is it reliable enough to connect this way?"

It is indeed reliable to connect this way. The two wolf-toothed warships are like being connected. I guess no matter how big the storm is, it will not be blown away.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "It's reliable enough, it's reliable enough. Lord Wang is really amazing."

That's not.

I designed this wolf-tooth warship. Isn’t it easy to connect it?

Wang Zheng pretended to be modest, but the smile on his face was still a little proud.

This is not his pride and complacent, he did it very quickly and beautifully.

However, Taichang looked at the dismantled artillery and thought: "Liangfu, it's really troublesome to dismantle the artillery. If only the artillery can be dismantled, the warships could be connected together without dismantling the artillery."

Well, this cannon is indeed a bit troublesome to dismantle, because the cannon tubes of several hundred pounds can only be lifted by several strong men.

However, the artillery removal did not take much time, so I just loosened a few screws and lifted them down.

Isn't this OK?

When Wang Zheng heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but stagnate.

Seeing this, Taichang patted his shoulder and smiled, "I didn't pick on you. I thought of a better way, do you believe it?"

Is there any better way?

Wang Zheng couldn't help but say curiously: "Master, what's the solution?"

Taichang pointed to the two cannon seats on a wolf-tooth warship and said, "Actually, you can connect an iron plate between these two cannon seats, so that you don't have to dismantle the cannons?"

When Wang Zheng heard this, he just thought about it for a while and then understood.

He immediately raised his hand to call the manager of the factory and gestured and explained a few more words.

The manager nodded and then took a few craftsmen away quickly.

Not long after, he came with a bag and more than a dozen craftsmen carrying two long iron plates.

This iron plate can be mounted horizontally on two turrets, and the holes at both ends can just match the holes on the cannon seat. There are two sets of holes in the middle of the iron plate.

In other words, just put the iron plate rack on and put the cannon back. The two sets of holes in the middle of the long iron plate can replace the holes on the cannon seat to connect to the wolf-tooth warship.

In this way, the iron plates connecting the two ships can be installed in the two sets of holes in the middle of the long iron plate, and there is no need to dismantle the cannons.

However, after a thick iron plate was clamped between the cannon and the cannon seat, the original screw was not long enough, so Wang Zheng ordered the manager to bring a bag of long screws.

Wang Zheng directed the craftsman and the navy soldiers on the ship to assemble it. Soon, the two wolf-toothed warships were connected again.

At this moment, Taichang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's fine. Just process more iron plates like this and match them on each wolf-tooth warship."

When Sun Chuanting saw this structure, he couldn't help but say surprise: "Master, the iron plate frame between these two turrets is good. When the war starts, the soldiers who control the artillery just squat down and then smack outside the iron plate frame connecting the two warships, and the shells will no longer be afraid of hitting the shells."

This is indeed an unexpected surprise.

Taichang nodded slightly, then said to Wang Zheng: "Liangfu, fold the two ends of the iron plate connecting the two ships to the sides, then open two holes respectively, and then open four holes accordingly. In this way, the iron plate connecting the two ships can be directly installed on the iron plate between the gun mount when it is not in use, and use it as a shield."

This is also simple, and Wang Zheng still understood it as soon as he heard it.

Everyone discussed for a while and soon thought about how to connect the wolf-tooth warship to the Aegis and Dragon-tooth warships.

Immediately afterwards, all the Wolf-Tooth Warships, ASCHEU and Dragon-Tooth Warships of the Navy began to be modified.

This modification is actually very simple, which means that each ship is equipped with a few iron plates.

With the processing capacity of the Ming Dynasty at this time, thousands of iron plates can be processed in one or two days, and the modification is also very fast.

In just a few days, all the Wolf-Tooth Warships, ASCHEU and Dragon-Tooth Warships of the Navy were modified.

The modified effect looks a bit magical.
