The common advantage of spinnaker and hard sail is that the operation is flexible, especially the hard sail can rotate 360 degrees around the mast, and the wind ability is strong, and it can sail at most 3 or 40 degrees to the wind, which is much stronger than the cross sail.

On the disadvantages, the hard sail is only half the area of the sail, so the downwind is not as good as the sail.

Due to the large weight of the batel and the fact that the mast is not reinforced by a shard, it is difficult to make it tall and large, which limits the size of the boat.

Therefore, although the polygonal sail is the most efficient at using the wind, it is still not as good as the crosssail in actual use.

To put it simply, schooners have strong adaptability, especially dhows, most of which are schooners, and they are still more advantageous before they reach a certain level of size.

Heng sail is conducive to the boat to become bigger, will sacrifice part of the pursuit of speed, the two in the design concept, there is a big difference.

Due to the limitation of the single means of naval warfare, many times it is necessary to engage in a string battle or a frontal collision, so the body size has a certain advantage in naval warfare.

Therefore, now the shipbuilding style of the West Coast is beginning to move closer to the large, especially the Witch Secret Society, in order to compete with the dragon wreck warships of the Cummins family, they have invested more in this aspect, and their schooning ships are famous.

The first four-masted galleon was built by them, and it was under their pressure that the Cummins family had to put more effort into the sailing ship.

It is said that the higher-ups of the Witches' Order were no longer satisfied with the four-masted sailing ship, and began to pursue a larger sailing ship, and it is unknown how big it is, and it has not been actually introduced until now.

Compared to the secret meeting of witches who have a soft spot for sailing, the shipyard of the Cummins family has more research on schooners.

After all, the side hustle they are now engaged in, pirates, requires their ships to have an absolute advantage in speed.

Otherwise, you can't catch up with others, so how can you rob them?

Compared to sailing ships with obvious shortcomings, schooners are more adaptable.

The Third Fleet is no exception, whether it is the Breaking Wave class or the Hurricane class, it is an out-and-out schooner, large and small, very similar, if not produced by an assembly line, it is also produced by a large shipyard with a complete process.

The seven Wave Breakers are all between 20 and 24 meters, and the only Hurricane is 34 meters.

Although their size is not huge in their kind, no matter the internal structure, workmanship and materials, there is nothing to say, and they are definitely mature middle and upper quality works.

Just look at the big holes they wear on their bodies, and they still refuse to sink.

Tightness and robustness are two criteria for measuring the quality of a seagoing vessel.

"One, two, three, work hard together, pull!"

"One, two, three, pull again. ”

"Everyone work hard, it's about to come out of the water, if the big guy drags the bow of this warship out of the water today, I will apply for an extra meal for everyone. ”

"What kind of meal should I add first?"

"Big pork buns. ”

"Pork buns don't count, even if you don't say this, it's also pork buns today, it can't be counted, change one. ”

"How about pork dumplings?"

"This is good, is it full?"

"Eat as long as you can, just eat. ”

"Okay, the team leader said, if we can drag the bow of the boat out of the water today, and the pork dumplings are full, let's work harder for this dumpling. ”

The Danube battlefield, which has not completely dissipated the flames of war, has fallen into a hot and busy situation again.

However, the main force was changed from the main army led by the Eternal Night Army to the Engineer Regiment attached to the Eternal Night Army and the hired crocodile people, and the two were mixed together, without distinguishing from each other.

Even in the cold winter, the top of the hot head is full of white gas, and the muscles are bulging, accompanied by loud slogans, exerting force with those animals.

And the big ropes the thickness of the baby's arms went deep under the river.

The target they dragged was none other than the Cummins family warship that had sunk earlier.

Whether it's for the purpose of cleaning up the river or for their own maintenance value, the Eternal Night Warlords will not allow them to rot at the bottom of the Danube.

In fact, it is not only these wrecks that need to be salvaged, but also the black powder mines laid in front of the Eternal Night Army.

After all, they are the ones who have an absolute advantage on the river now, and they must ensure the smooth flow of waterways.

Fortunately, the Eternal Night Commander had this consideration at the beginning, they had an absolute advantage in the black powder mine, so they used bright thunder to deal with the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, and they saw that the Third Fleet's warships were huge and difficult to change direction.

Due to inertia, even if a mine is noticed, there is often no way to change direction.

However, the small boats of the Eternal Night Army can be unhindered by the speed limit, after all, they have been trained in this area at the Andes Inland Lake.

Now, naturally, it is also relatively easy to clear mines.

It's relatively easy to say.

In addition to the fact that when the finished mine is thrown into the water, it is necessary to be careful to prevent it from triggering, which greatly increases the danger.

Also because of the previous melee, many mines are no longer in their original positions, and some have changed from bright thunder to dark mines, and it takes a lot of effort to find them, and it is difficult to clear them.

This is a legacy of the Gunpowder Wars, which will become more common as gunpowder weapons become more sophisticated.

"It's okay to work harder, but you also have to pay attention to a strategy, head, send the water ghost down to scuttle the butt of the boat, it will be easier to pull it out from under the water at that time, let alone pull out the bow of the boat, and it is not impossible to directly drag the whole ship out tomorrow." ”

"The order from above is to ensure the integrity of the warship as much as possible, and it is not appropriate to chisel through it casually, right?"

"What's suitable or inappropriate? The whole ship was blown up and sunk, it must have been badly damaged, whether it hurt the keel, whether it can be repaired is still unknown, not bad for such a hole, as long as you are careful to avoid the keel, the most valuable thing about this warship is the keel, the deck is just a pile of wood, we don't lack this the most, when the watersaw factory is built, the wood will go down the river, how much will it take. ”

"Brother knows a lot, what do you call it? What did you do before?"

"It's good if you call me Alens, when the second shipyard just came out, I worked there for two years and learned something. ”

"Ouch...... Skilled jobs, disrespectful and disrespectful, the pay of skilled workers in shipyards is not low, right?

"Don't mention it, the treatment is good, the question is whether it is this material, I am anxious, and active, I can't bear the single repetitive work, especially the drawings, after two years of study, it is still the same as reading the book of heaven, even if it is another ten or eight years, there is no chance to mix a big job, so apply for a job change, enter the army as a big soldier, where there is a need to go, this is not assigned to your side, help you fish boats. ”

"There are a lot of technical jobs in the army, and it is rare for skilled workers to be transferred to the army, and it is a pity that my brother gave up such a good opportunity, after all, the technical work is better in stability and less dangerous. ”

"You can't say that, someone has to carry a knife, and if everyone runs away to be a technician, what will we do to fight? While we are young, we will resist in front for two more years, and when we can't carry it anymore, it is not too late to turn back to a technician. ”

"With the brother's consciousness and self-confidence, it will not be easy to go anywhere, just let you try, chisel through the deck below, and strive to solve the battle within three days, these warships will be salvaged as soon as possible, repaired as soon as possible, and put into battle as soon as possible, and the Kingsley family will definitely not sit back and wait for death. ”

"If you can trust it, wait a while, I will personally take people down, after all, I have been in contact with this piece, and I know where to start and minimize the loss. ”

"I can't ask for it, wait until I find a few crocodile leather coats for you, it's freezing now, pay attention to keeping warm." ”

"Then it's troublesome brother!"

Under the leadership of Sergeant Allens, several selected water ghosts successfully made several openings under the big ship.

By the time the head of the battleship surfaced and began to drag to the shore, it was noticeably much easier.

If they hadn't chiseled the bottom, they wouldn't have dragged a behemoth out, but a boatload of water.

Even if their numbers were tripled, I am afraid that they would not be able to do it.

"It's out, it's out. ”

"Haha...... We were the first to complete it, and the construction process was half a week ahead of other brother teams. ”

"It's okay to do this, the next work is handed over to those professionals, today I am in charge, give everyone a half-day holiday, the gang leader will make a good meal to treat everyone, take a break, tomorrow we will assign a manpower to reinforce the other brothers. ”

"The regimental commander is wise. ”

The entire construction site was in a state of cheers.

The Eternal Night Warlord's internal rivalry is quite important.

Because their subordinate engineer regiment is, to some extent, eating a big pot of rice.

If there is no incentive from the competition mechanism, it is easy for them to develop the lazy habit of not working hard from top to bottom.

Therefore, there is a need for horizontal comparison.

The first and second are not only matters of reputation, but are often linked to material rewards, coupled with proper supervision and brainwashing.

The three-pronged approach allows the Eternal Night Army Leader to maintain a relatively efficient efficiency from top to bottom.

It's complicated to say, but in fact, the reason is very simple, if you have a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded.

As long as these eight words are implemented in place, this collective is usually not much worse.

I'm afraid that knowing this truth, the implementation is not in place, and it is in vain.

Towing a sunken battleship out of the water is only the first step.

Next, these subsidiary engineer regiments will leave some people to assist the professionals transferred from the Eternal Night Military Leader Shipyard to check whether these warships are worth repairing.

If there is no value in repair, it will not be abandoned.

Instead, it is dismantled on the spot, and the dismantled materials will be used as a substitute for repairing other warships.

The Wavebreaker-class battleship of the Cummins family is a very mature type of warship, although it has not yet unified the size of various parts like the Eternal Night Commander, and it is easy to exchange assembly line products.

However, there is no problem with the interchangeability of some relatively core materials.

An inland ship like a building ship has only one core, and that is the keel.

As long as the keel is not destroyed, it has the value of restoration.

It is not the speed of construction of the shipyard itself that restricts the speed of shipbuilding, which can be compensated for by manpower.

What really limits the speed at which they can get out of the boat is the treatment of the wood, especially the keel.

It's not like finding a few strong trees and cutting them down.

It also needs to wait until it is dry, not the kind of drying that is directly exposed to the sun, which can easily cause cracks in the wood, and then the whole keel will be wasted.

Different woods require different environments and treatments.

Some woods have the best effect of shade drying in a cool and ventilated environment, and they are more resistant to decay and the most strong.

Some need to be peeled at the beginning, and some not only do not need to, but also need to be soaked in oil or oiled, etc.

It's all about experience.

According to the means currently mastered by the Eternal Night Army Leader, even if it is artificially dried regardless of the cost, if you want a keel to reach the level of usability (here refers to the level of the building ship), it will take about two years at the earliest.

Slowly, where the Eternal Night Commander Shipyard is building, the focus is on hoarding giant wooden keels, and there are still no good ones.

It has been five or six years in total, and it will take seven or eight years to take shape, or even more than ten years.

However, there is a consensus in the shipbuilding industry.

The longer the wood is shaded, the better it is to produce the best shipbuilding wood, but the more likely it is to produce better quality shipbuilding wood – mainly in terms of corrosion resistance and impact resistance.

The former represents the service life, and the latter represents the combat effectiveness.

However, one thing is certain, in the next few years, as the wood processed over the years is put into use one after another, the shipbuilding industry of the Eternal Night Army will enter a state of blowout, and the launching speed of all kinds of warships and warships will be greatly improved.

The Cummins family's big ship has one more core than the building ship, that is, the mast.

But in the end, it's the same thing as the keel, or a tall and solid wood.

In fact, there is another factor that limits the speed of shipbuilding, and that is the speed of wood processing and cutting.

However, this problem has not been so much troubled since the Eternal Night Army Leader built a cutting and sawing factory driven by a large amount of water, and the processing speed is dozens of times that of manpower.

However, the speed of construction is not as fast as the repair speed after all.

To build a wave-breaking class battleship, even if it is a medium-sized shipyard, even if there is ready-made wood, it will not be completed in half a year.

But repairing a warship, even in a small shipyard, takes only a few weeks, and if the damage is serious, it takes less than a month.

Therefore, the sunken warship of the Cummins family is still worth the great effort of the Eternal Night Commander.

Once the repair value is confirmed, a temporary repair yard will be built around the wreck, and the repair materials needed will either be disassembled and transported from the ships that are not worth repairing, or directly from the shipyards of the Eternal Night Lord.

Therefore, the salvage time of the sunken battleship seems to be isolated, but it is actually closely related, and the pace is guaranteed as much as possible to maximize the benefits.

This is the way the Eternal Night Warlords have always done things.

Soon, the battleships of the Cummins family were dragged out of the water one after another.

After a two-week effort, it was determined that four sunken ships were worth repairing, one of which was a Hurricane.

Others can only be dismantled and used, and the specific situation will be discussed until the repairs of those relatively intact battleships are completed.

If the dismantled parts were still rich, they would try to see if they could piece together a battleship.

This resounding victory against the Cummins family has a profound meaning for the Eternal Night Lord, and it is not just an explosive increase in water power.

Instead, in terms of shipbuilding, there will be two or three steps in the connection, and you can directly start preparing to build your own sea vessels.

According to the imitation of the gourd painting scoop, the difficulty is far lower than self-development, not to mention that the Eternal Night Commander has not stopped trying this since he has his own shipyard, and the combination of the two will naturally increase the speed to a higher level.
