Nowadays, shipyards seem to be very simple to build. You just need to dig the waterway and build a dock to basically start building ships.

As for special wood processing plants and warehouses for storing wood, small-scale shipyards do not need it at all. Wood processing and storage can be placed in the dock.

Of course, what Taichang wants to build is not a small-scale shipyard, he wants to build the largest shipyard in the world today!

The reason why Peng Bin directed people to dig the waterway first and repaired the cement berths on both sides of the waterway was because these two were the most time-consuming.

At that time, Dongfan Shipyard was built by Wang Zheng, so he was naturally very familiar with the construction of the shipyard.

It can be said that most of the manpower and time are spent on digging waterways and building berths. As long as these two are completed, it will not take much time to build a dock and a wood processing plant.

What's more, many of the materials used to build docks and wood processing plants this time were removed directly from the shipyards in Wubei City, and they would basically be almost done when they were built.

In other words, as long as he digs the waterway and builds the berth, it will take about ten days to build a dock and a wood processing plant after the local fleet of Ming Dynasty comes.

At this moment, he has organized people to dig up more than a hundred large and small waterways in the shipyard, and the berth is almost finished. Just wait until the cement is completely dry.

At this moment, the local fleet of Ming Dynasty also rushed over.

He was commanding the soldiers of the Shenwu Camp to water cement in the middle of the last drainage channel. A surprise shout suddenly sounded in the distance: "Yan Ru, I have found you."

It turned out that Du Linzheng and his people had found him.

Their relationship was really very good. In the years when they were in the juren exam, they almost ate and slept together, even more intimate than their brothers.

Upon hearing this, Peng Bin couldn't help but run over excitedly, grabbed Du Linzheng's arm and said, "Bozheng, long time no see!"

They have indeed not met for a long time.

When Taichang led a fleet to America for the first time, Peng Bin followed him and never went back. It has been three or four years.

The two of them had a breakup and then discussed the construction of the shipyard.

Du Linzheng looked at the waterway that could not see at all, and couldn't help asking: "Yan Ru, how big shipyard is the emperor planning to build?"

Peng Bin said without hesitation: "The emperor means that this shipyard must be able to build at least 2,000 large and small ships a year. I dig the waterway according to the plan of 3,000."

My God, the plan for three thousand ships a year!

There is no shortage of materials here. The problem is, do you think that shipbuilding requires no one?

Du Linzheng couldn't help but remind: "Yan Ru, Wubei City, Jinling City and Dongfan shipyards all have a lot of demand for shipbuilders, and I really can't transfer too many experienced people.

This time I brought here, less than two thousand ships specializing in building ships, how is it possible to build 3,000 ships a year?

You don't understand this.

Peng Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the shipyard here does not need so many skilled craftsmen.

Because the shipyard here mainly builds civilian ships, the largest merchant ship with only 2,000 materials.

Moreover, we mainly build small boats with less than one thousand materials, and many of them do not need to install steam engines.

As long as ordinary people study hard, there is no problem in playing as a deputy."

Well, it is mainly used to build small boats, and many of them do not use steam engines?

At this moment, the ships of the Ming Dynasty are constantly building into the big and fast?

Du Linzheng said in confusion: "Why are we building so many small boats?"

Peng Bin explained carefully: "You didn't look at the detailed map here. The rivers here are like spider webs, densely packed everywhere. Moreover, many large ships with two thousand materials cannot enter the river, so they can only build small boats with less than one thousand materials.

Also, the ships we built were mainly for Indians from the primitive tribes here, and a small part of them were for Indian tribes in North America.

They don’t know what kind of steam engine is. If they install it, they have to teach them how to use it.”

Uh, OK.

The Indian tribe in North America should be better. If you want to teach the Indians from the primitive tribe here to use the steam engine, it will be very difficult.

Du Linzheng nodded slightly and then asked, "What ships do we mainly build?"

Pengbin said without thinking: "In the early stage, we mainly built 200-material octopus ships and mesh shuttle ships. We don't need to bring any mesh covers or masts and sails. We just need to be equipped with oars and rudders, which is very simple."

Well, this is too simple, right?

Most of the Ming Dynasty built two thousand materials of armed merchant ships and Aegis ships!

You are just ten times smaller, making a small boat of 200 materials, and it is a single-layered one, with only oars and rudders.

To be honest, Du Linzheng really couldn't adapt to such a drastic change.

He was stunned for a moment before asking, "What's next?"

Pengbin said without hesitation: "After the docks for building the eight-claw ship and the net shuttle ship, we will build the centipede ship of 800 materials, and we don't need any guardrails or guardrails, just oars and rudders."

Eight hundred materials, this is much bigger.

Question, can you create something else?

Why do you always build such ships with only oars and rudders?

Du Linzheng couldn't help asking: "Yan Ru, are we only building some such backward small boats? Do we not build steam-powered ships?"

Pengbin said without hesitation: "Build it. After the dock for the centipede ship is built, we will build large canal ships and armed merchant ships driven by steam. By the way, the emperor also needs to build merchant ships that specialize in transferring large equipment such as mining machinery and infantry fighting vehicles."

Well, finally some advanced steamships have arrived.

Du Linzheng was quite puzzled and said, "Since we are going to build large canal ships and armed merchant ships here, why don't we build docks for large canal ships and armed merchant ships first? Yan Ru, those backward paddle boats cannot go to sea, which is useless to our Ming Dynasty!"

Alas, do you think I don't want to build a large steamship?

Peng Bin said helplessly: "You may not know yet that the supply of steam engines here is very tight, and it can be said that there are not many.

You should know how many steam engines are needed in a large steamship. The problem is that if we want to use a steam engine, we have to wait for the Ming Dynasty to send it, and at least half a year will be required.

The emperor has ordered the Ministry of Works to build a factory for steam engines in the capital of Xiyin.

You are floating on the sea all the way, I'm afraid you haven't received any news?

The current situation is that if we want to build large steamships, there is no steam engine. What's the use of making them?

So, we can only build a boat for paddling first.”

So that's it.

Du Linzheng finally understood that he originally wanted to say that he brought more than a thousand sets of steam engines and boilers.

However, if you think about it, it will be for the purpose of adding equipment when building various factories.

For example, this shipyard needs a lot of sawing machines, and the sawing machines they brought with them are not enough.

Because the Wubei City can only build hundreds of ships a year, and the sawing machine can only be dismantled half of it, but two or three thousand ships a year have to be built here, and a few hundred ships alone have to be added to the sawing machine.

The two discussed for a while and then summoned people to start building the dock.

If this dock is built from scratch, it will probably take a month. However, this time, Du Linzheng demolished a lot of materials to build the dock, and they basically only need to build the outer frame and ceiling.

Originally, Peng Bin thought of using cement columns as frames, but Du Linzheng suggested that he use wooden squares as frames first.

Because it turned out that when Wubei City first started to build the dock, there was no cement or steel bar, the materials he dismantled were basically matched with wooden frames.

In this way, the construction of the docks will be much faster.

Because there are so many woods that are more than ten feet long and more than two feet long here, they are as thick as they are, just use a sawing machine to process them into wood.

As for the others, they were basically demolished from the Wubei City and there was no need to process them at all.

Nearly two thousand craftsmen and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Shenwu Camp fought together, and more than twenty docks were built in two or three days like a trick!

Of course, the first batch of docks they built were standard docks for small boats below 1,000 materials. They were not very big, and there were ready-made materials, so they were naturally very fast to build.

Next is to build the eight-claw ship, the net shuttle ship and the centipede ship.

These were the warships standard for the Ming Navy before, and the original Ming Navy built a lot of these ships, so the masters who specialize in shipbuilding were used to it.

They don’t even need drawings. They remember all the parts and components on them, and they can just make them.

Because this kind of paddling boat is too simple, there are not many parts and components on it.

As a result, in another two or three days, the first batch of octopus ships and netted ships were launched.

There is no need to try any water for this kind of boat, and there is no need to build anything on it. After getting started, you just need to match the pre-processed oars and rudders.

On the city wall to the east of the pharmaceutical factory, Taichang turned his telescope and looked at the ten eight-claw ships and ten mesh shuttle ships docked at the pier on the other side. He couldn't believe his eyes.

How many days have passed?

The shipyard actually took off the ship, and there were still twenty ships at a time!

Is this speed too scary?

To be honest, Peng Bin and Du Linzheng did not have any sense of accomplishment when they were built such a backward boat.

However, they still arranged for people to go up and test the boat with a decisive attitude.

Because most of these ships were built for the people of the primitive tribe here, each ship was filled with two navy soldiers and nine giant horse tribes.

As for how to drive the boat, there is nothing to teach you. As long as you are not mentally ill, you can basically move by sitting on it. If you want to row faster, just shout the horn and row hard together.

After all, this is the first time that the shipyard here has produced ships, and Peng Bin and Du Linzheng have also created some atmosphere.
