Soon, everyone arrived at the shipbuilding area half helplessly and half amused.
I saw with my own eyes the few ships that Team 9 completed.
Chen Feng's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Ren Yan or Class 9 to introduce him, he ran straight to the vicinity of the ship and observed it carefully.
I watched and marveled at it.
His eyes were full of satisfaction.
Although he was a ship instructor hired by Ren Yan, he still felt excited when he saw the keel.
It is said that any industry needs fresh blood. As for the keel with mortise and tenon structure, only these "outsiders" dare to think and do it.
Moreover, the results seem to be not bad.
At the very least, there is no problem with the impact resistance.
If there are any disadvantages, it is that there are too many structures and it is too close to the sea water, so there is a high possibility of water ingress.
However, these can be corrected later.
As long as he can make these children more skilled in the craft, he is confident that he can make up for all these shortcomings.
"I can't believe that without anyone teaching you, you kids can actually do it so well."
"It's just that the workmanship is too crude!"
"Each mortise and tenon has a slightly different size, which can greatly reduce their effectiveness."
"Although it is feasible to put the mast on the keel, it still involves risks and requires further reinforcement of the craftsmanship!"
Chen Feng circled around the boat while commenting.
Class 9 secretly took note of all this.
No matter what the personalities of these "foreign players" are, at least they have real abilities.
If they can make the ship better, they naturally don't want to give up.
"Eh? Where is the hidden oar in this hole? It's not big enough." After turning around, Chen Feng stopped at the bottom of the boat and looked at everyone in Class 9.
Wang Yu started to explain: “We haven’t figured out how to do the traditional dark paddle yet, so we are going to use a new method.”
“This is accomplished using an impeller and internal pressurization.”
"And this cavity is prepared for the impeller."
"Impeller?" Chen Feng was stunned at first, and then he laughed to himself.
This kind of leap-forward way of shipbuilding really aroused a little interest in him.
It was like building a boat for the first time, and all kinds of wonderful ideas kept popping up.
But the difference is that these guys in front of us really dare to do it.
It's a rare thing for them to think of installing a pressurization system on a wooden boat.
But this way, it seems quite interesting.
Chen Feng nodded secretly.
Not far away, Dong Liang also looked somewhat relieved.
The other 'foreign aid' also looked at Class Nine with interest.
In just such a short period of time, this group of students showed enough open-mindedness.
This has an inexplicable attraction to this group of professionals.
Maybe this "teaching" can give them some new inspiration.
"Very good, very good. Let's start perfecting it from the dragon bones. I will definitely teach you all the techniques I know. You must learn well."
"Your teacher spent a lot of money!"
Without waiting for others to express their opinions, Chen Feng immediately attacked directly, calling on his students to prepare to dismantle the keel first and teach him this skill.
However, just as Class Nine was rolling up their sleeves, Dong Liang spoke up:
"As for shipbuilding, any skill is fine."
"And the foundation of this thing must be solid."
"I think these kids should first learn how to draw and read maps from me."
“If you can’t draw or read a map, the boat you build may not be strong.”
Upon hearing this, Class 9 stopped what they were doing, looked at the two people, and then looked at Ren Yan in the distance.
For a moment I didn't know who to listen to.
Teacher Ren has now closed his eyes and is resting!
Seeing this, Chen Feng coughed dryly:
"Master, this is inappropriate."
“Although reading and drawing maps is important, hands-on ability is also the basis.”
"How can you say that learning a craft has to be put on hold?"
"If the craftsmanship is not up to par, no matter how accurate the drawings are, it will be useless."
"Besides, I accepted money from Teacher Ren, so I naturally have to take full responsibility."
"I think you can take a break for now since you're here for sentimental reasons!"
After saying this, Dong Liang's face darkened:
"How can sentiment be put behind money?!"
“You are spreading bad values!”
"And I, old man, am not doing this for sentiment, I am doing this for my ideals!"
"To train the next generation of successors!"
"Is this matter not urgent?!"
"So, in this first class, I have to give way to my ideals!"
However, this time, Chen Feng didn't even have time to speak.
Mao Min, a sail-making master who had been watching, interrupted:
"Mr. Dong, I agree with what you said..."
"We idealists should go first!"
"But I think you need to prepare your design. After all, this ship requires the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty. It would be bad if there are omissions."
"But I'm different. I teach how to make sails. The evolution of this thing from ancient times to the present is all in my mind. I can teach students at any time."
"Why don't you let me go first this time~"
"Yes, yes, the sail comes first!" Yujie immediately agreed: "But after the sail, training on various knots is also necessary!"
"In our line of work, we not only need to apply what we have learned, but we also need to remember it firmly!"
“That’s what takes time.”
"So I suggest that the students in Class 9 take one more class of mine!"
