Daqin Engineers

Chapter 162 Saw

Then the sinking soldiers let the soldiers build ships and build their own ships.

This is fair. Every group of twenty-five people will do everything from the felling of the wood to the cutting to the making of the boat. If the quality of the boat is not good enough, they will ask for more blessings.

Even for training, it's uncomfortable to walk in the river on such a cold day.

Of course, these are all carried out under the guidance of Cang and other craftsmen.

Shen Bing believed that after building one or two ships in this way, they would be no strangers to shipbuilding.

This is necessary, because with this skill, as long as there is a forest in the future, there is no need to worry about not having a boat.

In this era, forests can be said to be everywhere, so boats are everywhere.

One problem is the hand saw used for sawing wood... Shen Bing always wanted to replace this thing when he was an engineer.

Qin Jun's hand saws are all short saws for single use. The grip is directly above the saw blade, making it inconvenient and time-consuming to saw.

As the saying goes, "Workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do well." If this tool is not good, it will greatly extend the time for troops to build ships. This is not a good thing.

So Shen Bing drew a sketch to Cang and confessed:

"Go and make this thing out."

Cang turned around without saying anything.

This is not a difficult thing, it is a modern saw, and Cang made it according to the drawing in less than an hour.

He took the saw to shine in front of Shen Bing, inviting credit:

"Brother, this thing is still a bit troublesome."

"Because the saw blade requires two hand saws to be put together to have this length."

"For this, I also went to find a blade master, the engineer gave a favor. He melted the hand saw together."

Shen Bing let out a "um", took the saw and looked at it. The only difference from modern saws is that the saw blade is thicker.

this is normal.

Because the saw is not easy to say, if the speed is too fast when sawing wood, it will "friction heat", and then the saw blade will easily break.

Modern saw blades use steel saw blades with better toughness. In this case, bronze is of course thicker.

Cang continued:

"Brother, the blade master said that he is willing to follow you, look..."

Shen Bing replied without thinking:

"Go back to him and learn how to ride a horse!"

The blade division maintains weapons and equipment such as bows and swords. Of course, the navy needs talents in this area.

Cang happily responded, and turned around to go back to talk, but he said "Huh".

It turned out that Shen Bing had already tried it on a piece of wood with a saw, but he saw a rhythmic see-saw sound of "Xixi Xixi", and a section of thick-thigh wood was sawn into two pieces in a short time.

It would take a quarter of an hour to use a hand saw.

Cang is a carpenter, he can ignore Shen Bing's other inventions, but the saw in front of him is no different from a sword in the hands of a swordsman.

So he immediately closed his feet and turned around, looking at the saw and swallowing hard:

"Senior brother, this... only one change will have this benefit?"

"Can you cut wood so quickly?"

Shen Bing raised the saw and explained:

"Simple, changing the saw blade to this length is just enough to open and close with one hand."

"With grips on both sides, you can hold it sideways, so you have this benefit."

Cang was stunned and nodded, before reacting after a while, saying:

"I'm going to let the Blade Master make another one..."

It disappeared after talking.

Of course Shen Bing didn't care about Cang's imitation.

In fact, he had to ask the Blade Master to make hundreds more, so that they could be used by the navy.

Shen Bing stole away to find Yang Duanhe.

Shen Bing went to complain and sell miserables:

"General, I am afraid that my subordinates are weak in setting up the navy!"

"The general should ask you to be smart!"

Yang Duan and Qi Dao:

"Why?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Those soldiers are all Wei Guo's troops."

"There is no armor, no crossbow or arrow in the whole army."

"General, the navy can rely on bows and crossbows to win, if only a sword in the waist... how can you defeat the enemy?"

Yang Duan said "Oh" and then replied:

"The crossbow will be sent to the navy soon."

"As for the armor... Then you need to have military merits!"

This is also normal. The nobleman was originally used as a crossbowman on the battlefield, but the armor was not distributed until the second-level nobleman, that is, the superior.

Shen Bing was unwilling to do this:

"General, but now I wait but I don't have the chance to make meritorious service."

"If there is, I'm afraid it will also be against Chu's navy in the future."

"When……"

There is no need for Shen Bing to say the next thing.

The situation is indeed like Shen Bing said, there is basically no war to fight at this time.

Yan country?

I was so scared by the Qin Jun that I was shrunk in the city and didn't dare to go out, and Qin Jun also ransacked the grain and made people angry. It would be good if my domestic problems could be solved.

Qi country?

Still confused by the envoy, he didn't even think of going to war.

Then there is only Chu State.

Does that mean that it is hell-level difficulty that makes Shen Bing and his party face the Chu State Water Army without armor?

Yang Duanhe didn't seem to think of this problem until then, and he couldn't help but frowned and nodded:

"This statement makes sense."

"As a result, the navy is afraid that before the second-level knight is equipped with armor, there will be countless deaths and injuries."

When Shen Bing saw Yang Duanhe so sensible, he couldn't help but happily handed over and said:

"The general said it was true."

"So the subordinates thought that they should be gracious outside the law, and first drew a batch of armor to the navy."

"At least the officer must have armor..."

I didn't want Yang Duanhe to raise his hand to interrupt Shen Bing's words:

"This matter is also easy to handle."

Yang Duanhe took out a map and spread it in front of Shen Bing:

"School lieutenant look at this picture."

"If Wei State is included in our Daqin territory, then Daliang and the northern water network will border Chu State."

"At this time, the Chu army is defeated and the flood has not yet receded, the Chu State navy army may be unable to do anything."

"But if spring starts next year..."

"Chu's navy will use Caozhou as a base to use the water network to harass everywhere."

"At that time, you will wait for the opportunity to do meritorious service!"

Shen Bing could not help being dumbfounded.

I'm here to be equipped, but I'm not here to fight.

And the spring next year, isn’t that only a few months away?

Does this mean that you will be on the battlefield after only a few months of training?

However, Shen Bing could not refute it.

Because the Chu State navy forces in Caozhou are not the main force, their main force is in the Huaihe and Yangtze River areas!

Most of these naval forces were "guerrillas" sent by Chu to harass them, such as crossing the river to burn food and sneak attacks.

Doesn't that happen to train Shen Bing and his party?

"But the general!" Shen Bing said: "Even so, the officers need several sets..."

Yang Duanhe focused his head and said:

"It is reasonable, the old man will send someone to send a suit of armor to Captain Zuo!"

Shen Bing:...

set?

Just one set after spending so much saliva?

Do you want such a small device?!
