Chapter 191 This is a warship

Perhaps in Martin's ears, Zhao Fubo's questions could be regarded as a slander of his wisdom. He mocked Zhao Fubo's knowledge in a tone that scolded the country people.

"A ship that can float, control, and even fight is of course not a ship, it must be called a ship! And I said I need to call a warship to be done."

After installing the shell, many people took tools to reach the bow position, and then in the whistle, a streamlined bow with a long stretched out splint was placed in the bow position by a slow-pitched pulley. Looking at the pulleys on the mast, it is estimated that they will be connected to the sailing machine system in the future.

At this time, Zhao Fubo could no longer see the internal connection construction. He could only see the crane transporting the van and the crossbow cannons were lifted onto the teleportation rack. Then, under the push of the workers, one by one, moved into the cabin like soldiers. Every time a crossbow went in, four workers were in, probably completed by them.

Zhao Fubo knew this thing, which was what Martin called the so-called Feiyan i-type integrated universal crossbow. Because it was located on a plate that was two meters by two meters, it could "sit" on any vehicle. No matter it was a big cart or a ship's deck, there was no problem.

There were many things that were moved into the cabin together with these crossbows, which looked like a cabinet, and there were many round holes as big as bowls on them.

"Did you see those cabinets? Those are used as partitions, and those crossbows are also placed inside. The outside is a corridor, which will be connected to the door at the stern of the ship in the future. Everything can be pushed into the ship with a cart!"

At this time, Martin was more like an engineer than a teacher. Especially when he came up with some modern knowledge and technology produced, no matter in any era, something strange seemed to surprise others, which made him most proud.

"There are 32 crossbows on both sides, two on the front deck, two on the rear deck, seven on the stern, and forty-one crossbows on the entire ship, sixteen crossbows to either side, which should be enough. According to my calculations, several consecutive volleys are enough to turn the place within 350 meters of one side of the ship into a sea of ​​fire!"

Following Martin's narration, Zhao Fubo was even more puzzled by what he had entered along the conveyor belt.

They were spaced one by one, with six beds and a coffee table in each space. If he had been to modern times, he would have seen the sleeper on the train. However, the short coffee table in the middle is the same as the bed, and the distance between the two sides is spacious enough. This is probably the place where the crew members rest. Those three-story beds are just camp beds with hard frames and canvas.

"This is called the living interval. Each interval is where six ordinary crew members rest. Under the bed at the bottom is the personal food box for the crew."

The living interval on the second floor is different from the residences of ordinary crew members. It is a kind of space with only four beds but more spacious, and something Martin calls a sofa is even prepared there. It is probably the residence of senior crew members. The ones at the top only have a camp bed, a desk and sofa should be the residences of officers.

Especially the residence of the officers, it is gratifying that windows are installed on one side of the living space. Perhaps because there is no artillery installed on the upper floor, the environment in which the officers live should be much better than that of the soldiers.

When all these things entered the hull one after another, Zhao Fubo could only hear the constant sound of knocking or horns in the ship from the stern.

"Can we go in and take a look?"

Since Zhao Fubo became interested, Martin would naturally be more proud, so he just nodded.

"If you are interested, you can also push my wheelchair so that I can give you some explanation. Boy, I see that you have too many homework and have become a little stupid!"

Zhao Fubo has nothing to complain about about this matter. He has been acquainted with men and women recently, and he has indeed spent more time with Amina.

It has been nearly a month and a half since he became an adult. Others are not in a hurry, but he is already a little anxious. If those troops are placed there, if they are just training without generating profits, then the current negative growth will not take long to make him bankrupt.

Now that there are warships, this trend can be slowed down or reversed. This is the greatest hope that Zhao Fubo has for such warships in front of him.

At this time, because the wall panels outside blocked the light, someone in the ship had already lit the steam lights. Zhao Fubo was surprised that he had not noticed just now that the steam lights that illuminated the ship would light up on the deck above their heads.

With these lights, Zhao Fubo further saw the situation in the cabin. He could not help but appreciate it. When the ship was arranged four months ago, Martin had just started designing it. But now everything in the ship is clear, and these things are considered so thoughtful and meticulous.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Fubo believes that Teacher Martin is taking out the design of this ship, that the entire ship should have been built in his head, otherwise it would not have been built so quickly.

The first and lower decks in the battleship are obviously not used to install crossbows. One deck has a long corridor that can be used to go to the cockpit at the bow. Zhao Fubo saw the rudder wheel and the communication pipeline connecting the entire ship.

There are two elevators in the wide corridor. They can be used to send things from the rear hatch door of the deck directly to the bottom cabin or any floor. The hand-crank elevator is fixed on one deck, on the open-air top deck.

On both sides of the corridor are the residences of officers, or small single rooms such as toilets and hospitals. On the boat boards outside the officers' residences, there are small round glass windows reserved. Martin pointed at the small round window with his pipe, and Abu Bakr immediately walked forward to demonstrate to Zhao Fubo.

"Did you see that there are decks outside these glass windows that can be opened. These windows can be protected when there are waves and when fighting with the enemy. Therefore, in terms of living environment, this floor is the best."

After opening the round deck outside, the small round window brought light to the people in the house. When Zhao Fubo saw the installation of those crossbows from the first deck to the second floor below.

They were installed on both sides of the ship's side, and they were now fixed on the deck facing outward. Four camp beds were installed on the walls on both sides, and it was obvious that the gunners were sleeping with the crossbows. Below the lower bed, there were ammunition racks like honeycombs. Zhao Fubo could imagine that when the fire was opened, the loader could get the ammunition at will.

"I believe that people will not feel good when sleeping here!"

The ammunition rack separates the cannon positions, like a room, but behind them is a wide corridor. At this time, for the convenience of construction, someone has opened the deck in front of the crossbows, revealing a rectangular shooting hole about one meter down by one meter and one meter five.

Martin, who was pushed in a wheelchair by Zhao Fubo, introduced him to the reason for this arrangement. It was like making up for him, and he was patient and meticulous.

"If it is in the era of hot weapons, it is unreasonable to arrange shells like this. If an opponent's shell comes over, it will detonate our shells, which is called dying. But now everyone is playing with crossbows, so there is nothing left. The corridor behind is easy to replace, repair the broken crossbows, and it is also easy to transport ammunition.

Have you seen these windows? The holes can be sealed when needed. This is why we do not install crossbows on the bottom floor and on the other hand. One space is a bit narrow, and another reason is that the bottom deck is a warehouse, which can lower the center of gravity of the warship and make it more stable when sailing in the waves!"

The third floor deck is much wider than the second floor, so in the middle are the cabins that can accommodate four people. As Zhao Fubo guessed, these are the residences of senior crew members on the ship, and they are mainly the crew members responsible for sailing.

The lower floor is 25 meters lower deck, and the space inside is amazingly large. According to Martin, it will be divided into warehouses of different purposes in the future. For the time being, there is nothing here. Only the small six-person room transported in occupying the space on both sides. However, according to Zhao Bo's understanding, these rooms should be useless. Unless... "If we have a steam engine or some other power in the future, we can probably put it here. But now..."

Martin just flattened his mouth when he was illuminated by a gas lamp, which was twenty-five meters wide and forty meters long.

"Look at it, the low hull, the modular shell that can be replaced at any time, the servo that can be operated at the bow, and the sailing machine that can be operated in the cabin. How about it, such a ship is fine as a warship! As for what kind of person you use to hold in the room here, it's up to you, but I think they shouldn't be grateful to you when they sleep here!"

Martin was proud of his face, and he also teased Zhao Fubo, the army commander. Zhao Fubo understood that in addition to loading supplies on the warship, the space below could also accommodate a lot of soldiers.

As Martin said, if there were indeed cavalry living in this environment, they would definitely thank Zhao Fubo for his death.

Therefore, Zhao Fubo remembered another thing.

"Teacher Martin, I haven't heard you say that at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, some soldiers were brought on the ship. I wonder if we could arrange some soldiers to live here as well. In addition, I think it would be okay if there is too much space. At least if we rob other people's things at sea, there will always be a place to put them!"

When Zhao Fubo said these words, the old pirate Abu Bakr opened his mouth and smiled.
