shipbuilding

Early in the morning, the wharves of Gaha town come alive with horse-drawn wagons full of barrels and crates frequently unloading their goods on the wharves and returning to the town. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะžะœ. The wooden barrels are filled with fresh water, while the wooden boxes are filled with various ingredients, which are stored in different ways according to the differences in the 'nature' of the food, and are uniformly packed in wooden boxes of the same specification to facilitate storage and transportation on the ship.

These items soon filled half of the dock, and the wooden boxes were stacked on top of each other to the height of more than a person, and from a distance they looked like a 'labyrinth'. The townspeople were accustomed to this kind of scene, and knew that there were ships going to sea, but they soon found that this time the cargo seemed to be unusually large, and it took one morning to carry all of them. Most people have never seen the situation of transporting so many goods at one time, and usually there is not a large fleet of ships that prepare supplies before sailing, and it is absolutely unprecedented for Phyllis to buy six large seafaring ships and one super large seafaring ship at one time.

In the afternoon, the carriages of the alchemy workshop also arrived, bringing all kinds of alchemy weapons needed on the ship. Alchemical weapons such as cannons, magic crossbows, and trebuchets were disassembled and transported in several parts, but each part was still too large to fit in a wooden crate or stacked together, so they took up more space on the docks. As for the three-story ship's bow statue, it was transported to the dock by eight carriages after a number of qi magicians cast a light body technique.

So many materials were placed on the dock, and a huge pile was gathered, which seriously affected the 'communication', so Hook also deliberately found Phyllis to 'negotiate'. Due to the impact on the 'traffic' on the docks, the speed of timber transportation required for shipbuilding will also be limited, and the 'delivery' date of the very large seafaring vessels will also be delayed.

Of course, Phyllis didn't want to delay the shipbuilding for too long, so she immediately decided to load the goods of the six large seafaring ships on board first, so that the supplies on the dock could be reduced by about two-thirds at once, and the 'delivery' would not be affected. The supplies needed for six large seafaring ships are also a huge base in themselves, and usually it takes about a week to prepare the supplies before such ships go to sea, but the sailors that Phyllis signed with the Sailors' Guild will not be in place until two weeks later, and it becomes a big problem to carry these things. Fortunately, there are more than two hundred necromancers in the Nike Ray 'Mon' family, and all the mid- and low-level undead creatures they can summon add up to more than three thousand. These undead creatures can't do too complicated things, but they can still handle the goods, and they only need a simple command from the necromancer to carry the supplies onto the ship. George specifically informed all the necromancers in the family not to let the undead move beyond the docks, lest the townspeople be frightened. In this way, in just two days, they had already carried all the supplies of the six large sea ships on board.

In the process, the shipbuilding work in the docks between the docks has been in full swing. Starting from the tail of the dragon whale, the necromancers of the Nike Ray 'Mon' family constantly use the flesh stripping to remove the outer layer of flesh and blood. Whenever a piece of bone is 'exposed', a boatman temporarily immobilizes the two bones with chains to prevent the bone from collapsing sideways. The dragon whale is huge, even a bone is more than 40 meters long, and if it falls, it is likely to kill several people.

Darko and Bandaka were lying between the keels all day without an image, and Bandaka was busy arranging the structure of the magic array between the ribs, while Darko studied carefully. The two had some 'exchange' from time to time, and Bandaka was not clumsy at all, and everything was instilled in Dacko in one go.

Darko soon learned that this magic array was actually a superimposed magic array of the drainage technique, and the principle was to speed up the flow of the water element backwards to play the role of pushing the ship forward. After Dakko mastered the principle of this magic array, he learned to reproduce it on the side, and it only took three days to successfully reproduce a magic array. But as an ice mage, Darko's output power is only half that of Bandaka's same magic array. Even so, Darko was satisfied, he mainly wanted to learn the knowledge of the magic array, especially this special structure of a magic array output in many places, Darko felt that it had a lot of inspiration for his ideas for building a magic array in the future.

In addition, Darko is also responsible for the preparation of the materials for the magic array. Since he is an inscriptionist, he is familiar with the materials that need to be purchased, and he can rely on the assistance of the Pupil of Cause and Effect to buy materials of higher quality than the standard, although it is overkill, but he has no complaints.

Hook also commanded a group of boatmen to keep busy around the pile of bones, and the wood was laid at the bottom of the skeleton as the bottom of the ship, and there was enough space for the magic circle designed by Bandaka above, so that the streamlined shape of the dragon whale could be retained, and the magic circle as the driving force was added to it, and it was with both of these points that the ship could sail quickly on the sea.

"I've already drawn the layout of the magic array, as long as you start building this ship, I can start building the magic array at the same time, and the completion speed will definitely be faster than building a ship. โ€

Darko thought that as long as there was a magic array in the stern of the ship, it would be fine, but when he saw that Bandaka had designed marks to copy the magic array in all parts of the ship, he asked strangely, "Why do you want to build a magic array in so many places?

"If it's a small boat, you only need to drain the water at the tail, but if the output position of such a large ship is single, then there will be an unstable course, and even if the output is stable, the bow will keep rocking from side to side. Bandaka knocked on the dragon whale's bone and explained, "That's the benefit of multi-point control, if you think about it, is it a boat with only one power source or a boat with multiple power sources, which is smoother?"

"I see. Darko suddenly realized what Bandaka meant, "Then how many magic arrays does this dragon whale's big ship need to be driven in total?"

"To ensure the coordination of the driving force and gravity, so that every downward gravity must have a horizontal driving force in action to be stable, and the gravity of the dragon whale is carried on every rib, so I plan to build a magic array between the gaps of each rib. โ€

Darko exclaimed in surprise, "This dragon whale has a total of 20 pairs of ribs, and it needs a full 40 of these magic arrays, what a huge job!"

Bandaka smiled, "Of course it's huge, each ship is a rather complex alchemy machine, not to mention that this one is extraordinarily huge. โ€

The magic circle is symmetrical, with left and right pairs. There is a hole 'hole' in the bottom of each magic array, and the maximum output of the magic array needs to be determined according to the height of the ship's string out of the water, but since this is the skeleton of the eighth-order demonic beast dragon whale, there is no need to calculate this item, and the maximum output can be used.

Although the magic array is only an upgraded version of the drainage technique, the flow direction of the water in it is very complicated, and it requires the 'refinement' and arrangement of the magic array to be very exquisite. So Darko has a place to play, although he can't help Bandaka build a magic array, but as an inscriptionist, his eyesight is absolutely 'fine', and he can completely and accurately see the position relationship between the magic array and the entire keel, and the slightest deviation Darko will remind Bandaka to make corrections. With Darko's help, the magic array, which had to fail many times to succeed once, had a huge success rate, and even Bandaka felt very satisfied.

As for Phyllis, Kevin, and Otto, there was not much to do in the process, so visiting the surrounding towns became the best way for them to pass the time. Every night, he brings back a lot of special products for Dakko to eat, most of them are seafood-based products, and there are also some snacks that are unique to the Venus plane. Kevin, on the other hand, buys some ingredients and continues to study his own dark cuisine. The ingredients available here are different from those of St. Yale, and Kevin wants to develop dark dishes based on these ingredients, and although there are full-time chefs among the hired sailors, Kevin still practices his cooking skills diligently when he feels that he will definitely show his skills. His focus on this area allowed him to gradually recover, and he came out of the grief of his brother's dead zone, and was no longer so quiet.

At first, Asiba was very interested in the flesh and blood stripped from the dragon whale, and immediately pounced on it and ate it every time he saw a piece, but there were too many necromancers in the Nicle Rei 'Mon' family, and Asiba was completely tired of eating the dragon whale 'meat' after only two days of eating, so he left it for Kevin to store. Let Dakko freeze the 'meat' and continue cooking it as it prepares for sailing. As an eighth-order demonic beast, the energy contained in the 'meat' quality is very sufficient, and it can even accelerate the recovery speed of mana for a period of time after eating.

Only Otto faced the ocean at the dock every day, holding his shield and practicing various blocking and defensive postures on the beach, from morning to night, as if he did not need to rest. Only the occasional flash of sharpness in his eyes seemed to be looking at some island on the other side of the distant ocean, which was his hometown of Hunting Island.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the sailors had arrived at the wharf of Gaha Town one after another, many of them were from other towns on Qom Island, not living in Gaha Town, and when they arrived here, they would live directly on the ship. Although the dragon whale's super-large sailing ship has not yet been built, in addition to this, Phyllis has also bought six large sailing ships, which is enough for the living life of these sailors. When they saw the huge dragon whale ship that had been built for more than half of them, all the sailors all 'revealed' their excited expressions, many sailors' dream was to go to sea on the most powerful ship, and this time the employer was obviously wealthy, and was able to use the eighth-order demonic beast as the keel to build a ship. Even if you can't be assigned to this super-large seafaring ship, there are at least six large seafaring ships, and it is very beautiful to be able to sail on this kind of ship. Many of these sailors had never even boarded a medium-sized seafaring ship before, so they were naturally very excited and eager to sail out to sea immediately.

"The ship is equipped with a total of 400 lounges, 40 double rooms, a large chart room, an operational command room, 16 damage control rooms, 8 converted warehouses. Let me tell you that there is so much space left, so I have merged the adjacent warehouses into 8 large cargo compartments in order to save materials. I also set up a temporary prison for 200 people so that you can take prisoners. There is also an infirmary, a kitchen, a canteen, an armory, a vault, and a reserve operations command room. โ€

Hook held a notebook full of sketches, and reported to Phyllis and the others in high spirits. As the entire skeleton of the dragon whale is stripped of flesh and blood, the internal structure that was not determined at the beginning can be designed, and the cabins can be divided according to the size of the space inside the skeleton. As it turned out, Hook still underestimated the size of the interior space of the Dragon Whale, and the cabin design changed a lot later, but he also had a lot of experience in shipbuilding, and he made a slight adjustment to the layout. The overall cabin arrangement of the Dragon Whale is more reasonable, and the consumables for shipbuilding have not increased because of this.

When the month is approaching, the skeleton of the entire dragon whale has been displayed in the dock, and the magic array at the bottom of the ship has been completely constructed, and now the inner layers of cabins are being built in the center of the skeleton.

On the sixteenth day, the bow statue was firmly fixed in the bow of the ship, and the huge skeleton was so hideous that people couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. All the important work, including the magic array and keel connection, had been completed, and only the internal construction of the hull and the construction of the superstructure remained, which were completed three to five days earlier than expected according to Hook's schedule.

Darko finally had a free time to accompany Phyllis to the town. However, his idea did not come to fruition, because the second group of the Nikery 'Mones' family was coming.
