The shipyard is located in the northeast corner of the Taijiang River, across the sea from the Luermen at the top of the northern island. It is the most remote corner of the Taijiang River.

Whether it is the antique wooden boats, racing sailboats or steel-hulled fishing boats of later generations, no one has ever built one in time. There is no way, the current population base is still too small: Director Cao will send a few to a dozen new people from time to time every month

, sometimes there was none, so as of March 1628, the first year of Chongzhen, the total number of Chuanzhong was only 17o.

The only person here whose previous job had something to do with shipbuilding was installing pipelines for oil tankers in a 100,000-ton shipyard... He is living a good life in the kiln area now, and he shakes his head when he hears about shipbuilding.

, said he didn’t like it.

Well, it’s hard to buy happy people with money, and the most important thing in doing a job is interest, so in the second round of online recruitment, Qiao Zhengtai, the person with the most “theoretical research” on wooden sailing boats, was selected.

Through a keyboard battle with a group of ugly people, Qiao Zhengtai, a former technician at a mountain bike factory, successfully demonstrated his knowledge of the sailing battleship era in front of everyone. In a local area network without a search engine, most people showed their true colors and could speak out at any time.

Qiao Zhengtai, who made various parameters of 17th-century sailing battleships, became the director of the shipyard.

After Qiao Zhengtai took office, it was very convenient to mobilize various resources because the shipyard received relatively high attention.

First, the people: now that the big trumpeters have been selected, the smaller trumpeters no longer have to fight. Five or six of them, who usually like sailing warships, came to the shipyard to live in the shipyard.

All laborers currently under the jurisdiction of the Crossing Army, regardless of race and occupation, as long as they have something to do with shipbuilding, will be dispatched to the shipyard. Among them, there is a Dutch carpenter who is the key: Old Kohler.

Old Kohler was a prisoner of the Battle of the Merchant House. At that time, only he and another carpenter were assigned to work in the carpentry shed in the kiln area. The other prisoners went to repair the earth. Later, all the surviving prisoners followed Peter Nuiz back to Paris.

Davia, old Kohler and another Dutch carpenter were secretly detained by the Travelers because they were relatively important.

In fact, old Kohler doesn't want to leave here.

The old Kohler is not Dutch. He has a light blond head and a tough face. The old Kohler, who was born in a family of chefs in the Bavarian countryside, is now full of wrinkles, but he is only 34 years old. Of course, in this era,

, a 34-year-old face full of wrinkles is a standard feature for people below the middle class, regardless of nationality.

Old Kohler saw too many incredible things in the kiln area: omnipotent machines, measuring tools accurate to the millimeter, finished products with no difference at all, and 50 people who suffered fatal injuries (in his eyes) and came back to work a few days later.

.

...Other Dutch captives thought this place was hell, but old Kohler, a 17th-century craftsman, firmly believed this place was paradise.

Those who can repair plywood boats at sea naturally have two brushes. After Old Kohler was assigned to the carpentry shed, he quickly became the squad leader, insulting the apprentices every day in half-baked Chinese - this is how he learned it back then.

When Kohler finally figured out one day that the mysterious power that made the table saw move came from that strange machine called the "motor", he calmly made a request to the director of the lumber factory: naturalization.

"I am already old, so old that I may die of illness on the next voyage and be thrown into the sea. Therefore, I hereby solemnly request to join your kingdom. I know that only in this way can I have the opportunity to learn those mysterious knowledge.

"

Zeng Rong, the director of the lumber factory, couldn't laugh or cry after hearing Old Kohler's request - whether the emperor had second thoughts or not, who knows when the Immigration Bureau will be established.

So Zeng Rong could only make a promise to his general Huang Mao at that time: Your conditions are good. If you work hard, you will definitely get the title of engineer in the future. Well, when the Immigration Bureau is established, I will be the first to apply for you. Now, you

Just get a green card temporarily, which means you have a white skin but a yellow heart. You can study and work at the same time... But the price of learning knowledge is that from now on, you are prohibited from contacting your compatriots... Can you stick to it now?

With a solemn look, Lao Kohler swore an oath on the spot in the name of God, swearing that he would be in Cao's camp and his heart would be with Cao... Then Zeng Rong went to the newly opened Intelligence Bureau to report to Lao Kohler. Lao Kohler held a green card.

Even if he officially surrenders to the light.

Now, the old Kohler, who was summoned to the shipyard by a transfer order, is still very good - another Dutch carpenter died of illness a few days ago, and the old Kohler is now the only one.

Of course, Qiao Zhengtai also valued the old Kohler: No matter how many detailed information about ships the people in the time travel have in their hands, in the end, they still have to combine theory with practice, starting from a ship plank and a nail, accumulating experience, learning and improving little by little. And

The elder Kohler, who had worked as a shipwright for ten years in the world's most prosperous port of Amsterdam in the 17th century, was undoubtedly a key figure in the early days of the Taijiang Shipyard.

Except for Lao Kohler, there are no great craftsmen among the other Ming people's shipbuilders, only a few small workers. There is no one who can carry out the construction of a Chinese-style sand ship alone. Fortunately, the shipyard is just under construction, and there will be enough time to recruit and train craftsmen in the future.

Newcomer.

The most important project at the moment is the pier, and there will be one or two small docks next. As for shipbuilding, small boats are the only option. Small boats that can be operated by two or three people don't even need a dock, and can be driven directly on the beach...

..Set a small goal and build thirty or fifty ships to practice first.

Qiao Zhengtai's step-by-step planning has made the navy members who want to drive battleships out for a ride all day anxious. These self-styled shipyard supervisors have been hanging around recently when they have nothing to do, pointing fingers and taking the trouble. With Mu Longcheng as the pretentious party member,

He also frequently discussed with Qiao Zhengtai the necessity of 8o gun battleships...

It was under this situation that the shipyards in Chuanzhong began to hatch: most people were digging sand to build docks on the slippery beach, while a few people were clumsily building enclosures for the new sampans under the roar of a yellow-haired man.

....

Looking at the busy scene in front of him, Qiao Zhengtai couldn't help but shake his head - there is still a long way to go, even if he has prepared n kinds of tall ship types suitable for time-traveling forces, now look at these boatmen who can't even put up a fence...

The gap between reality and dreams is so big, it's really frustrating.

...

Generally speaking, the several newly opened construction sites near Danyuan are not only civil construction, but also dredging, soil and sand, and there is no technical content.

What is truly technologically advanced is the newly imported electric furnace in the kiln area.

As the highlight of the new year of 1628, the electric furnace system used up the 5 boxes of import quota for the entire February with just the early equipment accessories. After that, another box of consumables was accidentally added...

Although steelmaking is an overriding boss-level project, with such a high import quota, the big office made the decision daringly, which makes the electric furnace system undoubtedly the most imported project in the history of the company. This is undoubtedly
Chapter completed!
