Huang Tun smiled and said, "The sinking will definitely not sink. If Zheng Dajian doesn't believe it, we can make a warship of this kind of inverted triangle according to the proportion, but it cannot be too small, otherwise it will be an inverted triangle. If the amount of water output is slightly not controlled well, the water will really enter the water."

It still has to be in a pot shape.

Zheng He was silent for a while, "Even if it is not heavy, what are the benefits of this shape? And if you want to make a steel warship of this shape, it means you have to open a line again and all designs must be started again."

Dusk thought about it, "What are the benefits..."

I really don't know, how did I know that modern warships are all in this style? Anyway, they look good. What I can guess is that this can increase the speed, and I really don't understand other aspects.

After thinking about it, I don’t seem to have to pursue speed now.

Let’s use the shape of a traditional big ship first.

Traditional warships are also wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, but unlike modern warships, the shrinking angle is too large, and this kind of warship is also more stable. In terms of the size of warships in this era, if the bottom is too narrow, there is indeed a risk of capsizing in the wind and waves.

The professional matters were left to professionals, but Zheng He refuted this, and the dusk stopped insisting and took back the drawings awkwardly, "The advantage is that they are fast, but now they don't pursue this. Keep this drawings. We will consider them when they make progress in the future."

Zheng He breathed a sigh of relief.

I am afraid that the dusk will persist and I will not agree, and I will make trouble for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is convinced by Dusk, the consequences of this matter will be somewhat unbearable for the Ming Navy.

Roll up the drawings, and at dusk, looking at the bustling shipyard in front of you, a giant in front of you was already assembled, making people excited - in the fifteenth century, there was an iron warship in China, and it was hard not to be excited or excited.

Moreover, this steel warship will be equipped with dozens of cannons, which are the kind of flower bullets, not the solid bullets of the past. In other words, this is a modern steel warship in the true sense.

Although there are still many places that need improvement, it does not hinder its invincibility in this era.

Basically leading all warships in the world.

Ordinary artillery no longer poses a threat to it.

But to be honest, the tonnage of this warship is still too small, and it may be less than 1,500 tons.

There is nothing we can do about this.

The treasure ship used by Zheng He to voyage to the West had a maximum displacement of more than 20,000 tons, making him a well-deserved giant. However, steel warships are just starting now, and the tonnage is smaller and safer.

When the technology matures in the later stage, it should not be difficult to get a battleship worth tens of thousands of tons.

He smiled and said, "The basic difficulties have been overcome. This warship will be launched in about half a year. During the same period, several other shipyards also have warships of the same size being started. In other words, by the end of this year, we will have four steel warships in the Ming Dynasty?"

Zheng He was also excited, "If enough steel and firearms are ensured, within three years, our Ming Dynasty will have more than ten steel warships and form an invincible fleet of the ocean."

By the way, without steel warships, my fleet voyage to the West is invincible.

Dusk thought about it, "The speed is too slow."

He also said: "I think it is best to have thirty steel warships in three years. If possible, fifty or even one hundred will do. In the next few hundred years, steel warships will be one of the protagonists of the war."

Haiquan will be the point of competition for the next hundreds of years.

Then the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of steel warships in advance and maintained its current economy. After hundreds of years, even if the industrial revolution broke out in the West, it would probably not be able to catch up with the taillights of the Ming Dynasty.

There is another reason.

If you go to North American continent by yourself, you need steel warships. If you don’t build more in the Ming Dynasty, how could Zhu Di sell it to him then?

Zheng He was dumbfounded, "One hundred ships..."

I'm afraid I'm overthinking it.

There is not so much steel, and the steel needed by a hundred steel warships can last for several years just for transportation. It is too whimsical at dusk.

Xun smiled and said nothing more, but if four steel warships could be launched by the end of this year, the Times Group could buy some of the ships that were voyage to the West.

Suddenly I remembered something and asked Zheng He, "Zheng Dajian, who is more familiar with maritime affairs except Wang Jinghong?"

Zheng He was puzzled, "What, is there something wrong?"

Sunset nodded slightly, "I want to organize a sea trip recently, with Times Group's merchant ships as the main force. If you don't follow your previous route, you have to go out from Japan Island and then go straight to explore an unknown sea."

Zheng He was surprised, "According to the globe you and Wang Jinghong made, he left the Japanese road and walked out, and there was an endless ocean-" suddenly awakened, "Did Wang Jinghong discover what did he discover during that round trip?"

Huang Du shook his head, "I didn't find anything, but because I didn't find anything, I had to go to that sea area to explore. Some things must be prepared, otherwise the matter in Fujian would not be able to be solved."

Zheng He thought, "Is this related to whom?"

Suddenly he opened his eyes wide, "Do you want to send him out to sea?"

Huang Du shook his head, "He will definitely not be able to leave Ningde, but I need more than 10,000 loyal and righteous people under his command, so I want to find a place to settle them in advance."

Zheng He understood, "So, it is indeed a good idea to place more than 10,000 loyal and righteous people overseas. With family members, there must be tens of thousands of people, and ordinary countries are unwilling to accept it. But you are so sure that you can find a country that is willing to accommodate them in the unknown seas?"

The dusk was happy, "Would you like it or not, let them?"

At this time, the North American continent was still the world of Indians. With the strength of the Ming Dynasty, even the warships composed of wooden sailboats were crushed in minutes.

Zheng He pondered for a while, "Your Majesty has not allowed him to go to the West in recent years. You can find Wang Jinghong for this matter, but Your Majesty may not let him go, and there is still a candidate."

Xun hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Zheng He said: "You know this person, and he has been to sea several times. Now he is not responsible for shipbuilding, but is in Jingji. This person is Hong Bao, the eunuch of the Duzhiguan. He performed extremely well when he followed me and Wang Jinghong to sea. With his ability, he could also command the fleet to sea."

After knowing it after dusk, I suddenly realized, "It's him."

Why did you forget Hong Bao?

I hurriedly said goodbye to Zheng He. Since there was a candidate, the next step was to prepare for going overseas. The Times Group had to prepare a small amount of goods - all the most basic daily necessities, and the Indians might not necessarily want them.

But merchant ships cannot be misappropriated - now merchant ships are running between the Western and the Nanyang Islands.

The profit is so great that it has exceeded many domestic industries.
