    Du Ziteng immediately came over understandingly, and then directed dozens of guards to follow quietly behind the eldest princess.

    Seeing his guards following him, Liu Deng nodded with relief, and then followed Du Ziteng into the newly built dock.

    All the drawings of the shipyard were modified according to the designs in Liu Deng¡¯s project.

    For many things in this, even the most senior shipwrights in the shipyard feel very strange.

    Liu Deng came today, on the one hand, to explain to them the use of these things, and on the other hand, he also wanted to have a good communication with them about the drawings he drew.

    After all, the drawing of the Ming Dynasty treasure ship drawn by Liu Deng is actually somewhat specious.

    This drawing is actually a restoration drawing that Liu Deng later saw on the Internet. Some improvement plans of later generations were added to it, but these things are somewhat taken for granted.

    ??Building a purely wooden seagoing ship is really a long-term task.

    Even Liu Deng was actually very unsure. If the direction was wrong at the beginning, I am afraid that all the subsequent results would be wrong.

    ¡° Moreover, even Liu Deng himself is not sure whether these craftsmen have the ability to build such a Ming treasure ship with a total length of more than 130 meters in this day and age.

    The larger the ship, the more complex the design and the more processes required.

    Although ships with purely wooden structures are actually a symbol of backwardness in the eyes of later generations.

    But in this day and age, whether it is the laying of the keel or the design of the watertight compartment, all of these are technologies that are thousands of years ahead of their time.

    But that¡¯s not what¡¯s really scary. What¡¯s scary is that even Liu Deng, the instigator, is actually just a second-hand swordsman.

    As for the remaining boatmen, this is completely a blind man trying to figure out the elephant.

    It is not an exaggeration to say that human life is taken lightly, but this is the problem Liu Deng must face now.

    Although he is only a second-hand swordsman, apart from him, there will be no one in the world who is more familiar with those big ships than him.

    If you want to make the Han Dynasty's shipbuilding technology advance by leaps and bounds, the only possibility is to complete all the detours that should be taken in his lifetime.

    Only he has the courage and ability to bear these mistakes.

    ¡°But Liu Deng also knew in his heart that after a sea-going ship with a length of 100 meters is actually built, it will require hundreds or even thousands of crew members.

    ¡°If such a huge ship capsizes in the deep sea, the crew members may not even be able to recover their bodies.

    In order to ensure the life safety of these crew members as much as possible, Liu Deng needs to carefully demonstrate every process.

    ??Try to eliminate all foreseeable risks in the design stage as much as possible.

    "Why doesn't the king come?"

    "That's right, didn't you say you would come this morning? It's already past noon"

    Inside the newly built dock, the most senior craftsmen were whispering.

    "Okay, you guys, please stop talking! I just don't know what the things in here are for. Suddenly there are so many big wooden shelves, and the shape is still so weird. I really don't know what this person is doing.  Your Majesty, you have money and nowhere to spend it!"

    While several master craftsmen were grumbling, they suddenly heard an old voice coming from behind.

    "Uncle Chen, why are you here?"

    Several people were shocked and saw clearly. After the person arrived, everyone hurriedly gathered together.

    This is the ancestor of all shipbuilding industries in the entire county.

    It is said that when he was young, he built a building ship with a height of thirty feet.

    The height of the building boat needs to be determined according to the size of the boat.

    A thirty-foot-tall building ship, if calculated according to proportions, should have reached an astonishing length of more than twenty meters.

    Although ships of this length were only small and medium-sized civilian ships in later generations.

    But in this day and age, it is really a behemoth on the sea.

    With this experience alone, no boatman in the county would challenge him.

    Looking at the fine wood being carved into strange-shaped wooden shelves, the oldest ancestor felt a pity in his heart.

    "These are all fine wood. If used to build ships, they can at least be used to build a building ship."

      Nowadays, such good materials are randomly cut into weird wooden shelves.

    "I'm really sorry, elders, something has delayed me today!"

    Even when facing these lowly craftsmen, Liu Deng still reached out and clasped his fists.

    After all, the Han Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and now the average age of these people is already over sixty.

    With Liu Deng¡¯s current identity and status, there is really no need to show off his power in front of them.

    "Your Majesty, your words are serious. We old men can't usually do anything. Just wait a little longer. It's just that Your Majesty, you have wasted so much money to create these things. Isn't it a waste of resources?"

    What Liu Deng didn¡¯t expect was that as soon as he opened his mouth, someone fired at him.

    "Who is this?"

    Liu Deng looked at the serious old man with an embarrassed look on his face.

    ?Looking at the appearance of the old man, his hair is gray, his face is wrinkled, and the skin all over his body has turned into a bronze color due to being blown by the sea breeze all year round.

    Although he looks over seventy, he does look in good spirits. At least until now, his waist is still straight.

    "Reporting to your Majesty, this old man's name is Chen Bo'an. He is the leading shipbuilder in this county. It is said that he once independently presided over the construction of a thirty-foot-tall ship!"

    Fortunately, Du Ziteng, the nominal boss, was not in vain, so he quickly whispered in Liu Deng's ear.

    "Old Chen Bo'an is just an idle old man!"

    "Your Majesty, please don't mind. This is Mr. Chen's temper. He just feels sorry for these good pieces of wood. He has no other intentions"

    The remaining craftsmen immediately turned pale and hurriedly begged Liu Deng for mercy in a low voice.

    "The old man is right. If these things are useless, they will be a waste of nature!"

    Liu Deng smiled, stretched out his hand to stop them, and then said to Chen Bo'an.

    "Since you know it's a waste of natural resources, why do you still make these things?"

    Maybe this is a common problem among technicians, especially people like Chen Boan, who are now over 70 years old and have no children or worries.

    Even though Liu Deng is a king, he still speaks without any scruples.

    The corners of Du Ziteng's mouth twitched. This old man was really pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
