……
Amid the high voices of the leaders, Roland watched with satisfaction as the second cement ship also slid into the water.
These two cement ships seem to be simple in structure, but in fact, they have made great progress compared to the initial town.
It has added dense steel skeletons for the first time, and the cement quality has also been greatly improved, and the overall strength is more than several times higher than that of the town.
Moreover, in order to speed up the construction speed, Roland reserved the slots and interfaces for installing the steam engine, transmission mechanism and paddle wheel when designing the hull. At that time, as long as the corresponding fixed latch is welded on these metal parts, it can be quickly spliced, and it is like an adhesive model when installed.
At the same time, the formwork has also been transformed from temporarily pieced together masonry to iron molds, which not only ensures the compactness of the poured concrete and improves its own waterproof performance, but also ensures that each ship is basically the same to avoid deviations when installing the power system.
In order to obtain a complete template shape, he scrapped at least seven or eight test products. Fortunately, cement is no longer a scarce product. From grinding stone to mixing into the kiln, steam engines have replaced manpower work. It is a rare industrial project in the border town that can be produced on a large scale without relying on the power of witches.
With sufficient materials, reliable formwork and skilled workers, the only thing that restricts the hull production is the hardening speed of cement.
However, with the acceleration reaction ability of the white paper, the cement ship that originally needed to be placed for one or two months could be launched in just one day. In other words, as long as Roland is willing, the shipyard can fully launch a whiteboard ship in two or three days.
If the steam engine manufacturing speed and crew training can keep up, he can have a huge fleet of transport ships in a short period of time, so that his cement ships are arranged on the entire Chishui River, and the legendary dumplings are just like this.
This is the charm of industry.
Now that the hull is formed, the next job is to install power components. These mechanical equipment are basically the same as those of the modified ships of the Chamber of Commerce in the Chronic Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce. The craftsmen have had practical experience, so he is not worried about this.
I don’t understand, why do you tell the governor such a thing?asked the nightingale.
In order to promote national strength.Roland smiled slightly.
Ah?
I mean, witnessing the earth-shaking changes in the town.He touched his chin and said, "You probably wouldn't have expected the stone boat to float on the water before you saw the town."The same is true for the idea of leading the people. After the impossible is realized, their sense of identity with the town will become higher and higher. This mentality is comprehensive and may even evolve into nothing that they cannot do.
Not...too understand.The nightingale's voice was a little confused.
Just understand it as a means of publicity.Roland smiled.
In this era, the days when the nobles celebrate with the people only depend on celebrations or major events, but both are basically related to the nobles. If the porridge water was not distributed for free, the people's participation would not be high.
The cement ship is the result of the collective collaboration of hundreds of workers, who themselves are part of the festival.
In addition, as a member of the territory, after seeing the miracle of the territory's continuous output, self-confidence and identity will gradually increase. This is the so-called mentality of a great power in later generations. The strength of a territory will inevitably cause positive changes to the mentality of the people.
……
A week later, Roland met with more than 20 town residents who had signed up for the position of captain in the castle hall.
When Barov first reported the number of people, he was very surprised. He did not expect that there were so many high-end talents among the refugees sheltered in the town. It was not until he checked the detailed report that he laughed at the group of respondents that there were many fishermen operating rafts and small fishing boats, and even boatmen who made a living by ferrying.
In a sense, they can indeed be regarded as having the experience of captaining.
Among all the recruiters, there were only three people with experience in operating inland sloops. One of them claimed to have served as the commander of the merchant fleet and had been seeking life at sea for a long time.
Roland thought about it and finally decided to recruit all the more than 20 people.
Because steamboats and sailboats belong to completely different systems and operate completely differently, even experienced old captains may not be able to quickly get started with steam paddle boats.
In addition, I know nothing about sailing, so instead of blindly directing, it is better to let them understand and learn by themselves.
Since you start from scratch, you must have the determination and courage to explore.
I have seen your application experience. Roland swept over a group of people kneeling on one knee in the hall. Today I summoned you to inform you that you have passed the initial review and gloriously became the first batch of intern captains in Border Town.Let's stand up.
Yes... Your Highness, everyone stood up carefully, looked at each other for a few times, and seemed quite confused by the term "intern captain".
The prince took the initiative to explain: Internship means that it is not a formal position. Before you actually board the ship, you only have half the salary on the notice, that is, ten silver wolves per month.The first two months are the learning period, and you will be familiar with the performance, operational methods and operational processes of the new ship.The third month is a trial run, which is used to test your mastery ability. Only after passing the qualification can you be promoted to a formal captain, and the salary will be paid in full.If you don't want to accept it, you can leave now.
No one moved in the team. After a while, an old man suddenly spoke, "Dear Your Highness, who will teach us and who will examine the promotion qualifications?"
Roland glanced at the other party with interest. He should be the commander of the fleet who claimed to be experienced, and seemed to be Kakusim.
If he remembers correctly, he is still a relative of the policeman who performed well in an assassination more than two months ago.
It can be seen from the old man's tone that he did not think anyone could teach him to drive the boat, in fact, there was no.
The teacher is you.The prince nodded.
These words caused a stir in the crowd.
Your Highness, what does this... mean?Kakusim asked in confusion.
How much do you know about steam engines?Roland asked back.
No surprise, no one can answer. Steamboat is such a new ship. Past experience has not been very useful, so you can only rely on yourself to explore and summarize.Of course, I will also send craftsmen from the steam engine factory to help you get familiar with the machines.He paused, and the inspection method was very simple. He could bring a group of sailors to move the ship and complete a transportation task, even if he was qualified.
Although the arguments of the ten-year army and the century-old navy are exaggerated, they also show that the navy is not easy to form.
If this group of people can master the operation methods of steamships, they will inevitably be able to cultivate a large number of suitable crew members for the Western Region in the future.
When you build a steam-powered shallow water gunboat, you can pull it over and come in handy.
He was curious about what kind of navy will eventually form when civilian crews and artillery join together?
