The drawings drawn by Gongsun Xiu were very rough, and he couldn't even explain them himself, so he roughly drew a look, but the professional ship craftsmen of the Liu brothers could see clearly and nodded, "The king's design is clever, the keel bones are from the bow to the stern, the length is ten feet and the width is ten feet two feet, and it can take seventy naval troops. But this ship is narrow and long, can it really become a warship?"

"Of course, the concept of the boat is light and fast, and can stabilize the wind and waves, and does not easily capsize the boat. It is one of the auxiliary boats."

Gongsun Xiu thought that the crazy Vikings could plunder Western Europe on such a ship. I used this ship to plunder the Wei Kingdom, seal the Bohai Sea, and completely act as a happy pirate.

Liu Zhi nodded, knowing that if the ship was built according to the drawings, it would be at most seventy tons, which would be considered a light ship. He drew more detailed drawings and said, "The keel of this ship is like a banana, like an eggplant, with a concave in the middle and raised at both ends. A whole piece of can be made by splicing or nails. Ten feet from the bow to the stern of the ship, two rows of oar holes are left every ten feet. Each oar is operated by two people. There are about twenty or thirty people in the whole ship, and forty people hold halberds or crossbows. The disadvantage is that the ship is completely open-air and has no cabin to shelter from the rain. If it encounters bad weather, the soldiers on the ship are easily infected with wind and cold and freeze to death."

Gongsun Xiu didn't expect that such abstract drawings could bring such great inspiration to the other party. He smiled and said, "Abandoning the cabin is to reduce weight and speed up the speed of the ship. Your arrangement is the most reasonable. Each ship has seventy soldiers, and one hundred auxiliary ships will be built in one breath, which is seven thousand auxiliary soldiers."

The ideal speed of the Viking ship is 10 knots, and the fastest tailwind can reach 15 knots, which is equivalent to 55 miles per hour. It only takes two hours to reach Donglai County, Qingzhou, the other side. Although the large tower ships of the Wei and Wu Kingdom carried 3,000 soldiers, the speed was extremely slow and the draft was deep. When encountering large winds and waves on the Yangtze River, there was a risk of capsizing and sinking. The speed was only 7 knots, less than half of the Viking ship.

The most flirty thing is that although the Viking long ship is designed simply, it has a lot of tricks inside, almost without distinction between the bow and the stern, because both ends are exactly the same, there is no problem of turning around. It is necessary that the bow is both the stern and the stern is both the bow. The Viking Pirates, a group of people from Northern Europe, have been invading the coastal areas of Europe and the British islands from the 8th century AD to the 11th century AD, and their footprints are spread across the vast territory of the European continent to the Arctic. This period is even called the "Viking Age" in Europe.

If this ship attacks the tower ship, it is to escape quickly. Even if it can't be beaten head-on, as long as the Viking long ship wants to leave, large warships such as the tower ship cannot catch up. It is extremely easy to rob the coast.

Liu Chuan and Liu Zhi explained in detail and composed the picture while writing and each detail required accurate placement. Almost fifty major ship workers from the Liu family dock came in to have a meeting to study.

I have to say that one person is short-sighted and everyone is long-sighted. Gongsun Xiu did not understand the structure of the ship, but the sporadic knowledge he understood was an epoch-making dimensional reduction blow for the people in the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms.

A novel view is enough to start an era. Just as Einstein did not have the ability to directly create an atomic bomb, nuclear fission was produced by the mass-energy equations in Einstein's theory of relativity.

Even at the beginning it was just a theory that guided practice.

At the same time, Liu Zhi also calculated the wood needed for the Viking longship and said respectfully: "Building a ship like this requires a thousand materials."

Gongsun Xiu was stunned: "What does Qianli mean?"

Liu Zhi replied: "It means that one thousand woods are needed to build this ship."

Gongsun Xiu thought that if he built a Viking long ship, it would be about 60 tons of wood. He thought to himself: "If he built a hundred ships, he would make more than a dozen hills bald."

Of course, now is not the time to care about the ecological environment, and survival is the key.

In the later stage, we not only planned to make steel and build armor, but also planned to surround the lake and build fields.

After all, once the population increases, the speed of reclaiming wasteland is too slow, and only by surrounding the lake and building fields can we quickly increase arable land. As for whether it will cause flood disasters, it is not something that should be considered in the short term. When a larger territory is seized, the reverse implementation of returning farmland to the lake is implemented.

The distance mission is huge. The only thing that is most fortunate is that after waiting for a year and a half, Viking ships were launched one after another, the coastal defense mission was solved.

Just as he was preparing to supervise shipbuilding, Jia Fan sent a letter from Xiangping, claiming that the situation in the three major forces in the east, Goguryeo, Xianbei and Fuyu had changed. He urgently asked the King of Yan to return to the capital and preside over the overall situation.

Gongsun Xiu opened the letter and saw it full of small characters on it: "The East is in chaos, Goguryeo, Fuyu Kingdom, broke into evil and broke, and the King of Dongchuan sent a proclamation to fight against Yan."

He immediately showed joy on his face, and waited for nearly four months before and finally heard good news. He looked at Deng Ai beside him and said with a smile: "Shi Zai, you have made great contributions. As expected, the King of Dongchuan and Fuyu Kingdom are about to fall into a battle. The King of Dongchuan actually issued an edict to attack Yan Kingdom."

Deng Ai smiled and said, "It is inevitable that the king will give up the award. I just speculate from common sense that the three major forces are like scattered sand and cannot trust each other. We will make a false imprisonment and easily break up."

Gongsun Xiu laughed and said, "I issued an edict to attack Fuyu Kingdom, which was nominally beneficial to the King of Dongchuan. Now Fuyu Kingdom believes that he was deceived by the King of Dongchuan and led his troops to attack his country. The only way for the King of Dongchuan to prove his innocence is to threaten to attack Yan so that he can draw a clear line."

Deng Ai couldn't help laughing: "It's too late to prove his innocence now, but instead I gave me the name of the Great Yan Eastern Expedition. I suggest taking advantage of the situation to send troops to conquer the three major forces in one battle."

"Yes. The Fuyu Kingdom refused to marry and killed the envoy. It was reasonable for our Great Yan to attack. The King of Dongchuan issued an edict to attack Yan. We also attacked them together. They were all famous for their troops."

Gongsun Xiu thought that Deng Ai had come to the point. The most important thing in ancient times was to be famous in the army, not just nominal. The morale of the three armies was high, and they all wanted to serve the country with avenge. Even the major families had to contribute to their support. This year's wheat has been harvested and the treasury is full, which is enough for military rations.

Just wait for his order, the three armies set out.

Deng Ai was also a little excited and thought to himself: "I don't know if the king can use me as a general of the Eastern Expedition. If he can, he will die."

Gongsun Xiu saw his eagerness to make contributions and chuckled: "Shizai, this time you go to the war, you need more effort and effort."

Deng Ai heard that he wanted to use his thoughts in this battle, so he couldn't help but bow to the ground and said seriously: "King, I will never let go of my entrustedness and will never refuse to die. I only thank you for giving me such an opportunity."

Gongsun Xiu calculated with his fingers and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will not let down the ministers, and your ministers will not let down the king. If there is no accident, it will take some time before your wife and children will come to Xiangping."

Deng Ai couldn't help but say "Ah", "The King--"

Gongsun Xiu chuckled and explained: "I know that you sacrificed your life to save Sima Shi, so you were captured by the Yan army and used by Gu. The Sima family was cold-blooded and ruthless, and they didn't ask about your affairs when they released the prisoners. Gu had the intention of loving talents, so he would not send you back to Wei. If you now sign you a general, it would inevitably be passed on to Wei, for fear that your wife and children would be harmed by him. Gu ordered people to bring them together, so that you can enjoy the joy of family life, and don't worry about long nights and many dreams."

His words were an inadvertent lie. In fact, Sima Shi still valued Deng Ai very much. He conquered Liaodong to give him military merits, but Gongsun Xiu did not return the prisoners, lying that he was dead in the night attack. Now that Deng Ai has the opportunity to make military merits, his family has taken it over, and he will not fall into Sima Yi's hands in the future and become a threat.
