The stabilizer fin, also known as the keel, is generally installed on the two sides of the ship, and the profile is wing-shaped, also known as the side rudder.

Because its abduction cannot exceed the frame line of the ship section, and the area of the fin cannot be expanded indefinitely, it is often divided into two categories: retractable and non-retractable, and non-retractable is divided into two categories: bow and stern fin and middle fin.

To put it bluntly, the basic principle of this device is to increase the counteracting effect of the lifting force by expanding the width of the bottom of the ship, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing roll and maintaining stability, and the higher the speed, the better the effect.

In particular, the type that cannot be retracted and put away is particularly widely used in later generations because of its simple structure and low cost, and even small fishing boats are equipped.

It is precisely for this reason that people like Lorraine, who have no intersection with HNA in later generations, can know about it, and it is completely impossible to distinguish whether this is the wisdom of the old-timers or the flash of technology.

In short, Lorraine put forward the only constructive suggestion in the whole meeting, and it took less than five minutes to get the three masters to eat it thoroughly, which perfectly solved the problem of the new ship rolling too much during the shelling.

At the end of the successful study of the plan, Lorraine almost saw that in three years, a legend would be born, shocking the whole world!

As the meeting ended, Karen suddenly asked, "Captain, have you thought about the name of this ship?" ”

"Name...... "Lorraine muttered for only a moment, "in the Viking belief there was a group of Valkyries on Pegasus, who roamed the battlefields of the world in armor and with sharp swords, and did not regard either side as an enemy, but only selected the warriors who died in battle, and led them to Valhalla. ”

"They are the most beloved gods of the warriors, and are revered as Valkyrie, the Valkyries who seek the Heroic Soul and parade the battlefield."

"I feel like it's a name made for this ship, and I love it."

Valkyrie...... Is it? ”

Lorraine nodded heavily: "Privateer special three-masted gallen fast sailer, Valkyrie." She is our future flagship, a great battleship destined to become a legend! ”

……

In this world, now, in the future, no one can predict the direction of its development, just like fate cannot be speculated, even a witch like Noya who is cursed by Tarot cannot get a truly accurate answer.

Lorraine has been particularly impressed by this recently.

Before coming to Boston, he constantly calculated cause and effect, gains and losses, regarded the favor of the American elite as the biggest dividend, and never thought that he really had to pay the price.

As a result, fate played a huge joke on him.

On the night of disgrace, the Jackdaw came to an end in the most tragic way, and was blown up by her life and fell on the berth of the dock.

Lorraine tried to find the truth, but she couldn't find any clues with all her might, whether it was the culprit behind the scenes or the accomplice in front of the stage, no matter who it was, she couldn't find a damn trace.

While the investigation is at an impasse, the other path is unexpectedly clear.

He quickly found a suitable new ship, and not only found the ship, but also the shipyard and flagship that suited him best.

The Haight shipyard has changed hands, the Valkyrie has finalized it, the shipyard is thriving day by day with the injection of funds, the three vacant docks have been restarted one after another, and even the No. 1 dock, which has been stagnant for half a year, can resound the roar of machinery.

On November 6, 1779, on the thirteenth day of Lorraine's stay in Boston, and five days after Valkyrie finalized it, Haight and Clen accompanied him on a tour of the reopened dock No. 3.

This is the best condition dock at the Haidt shipyard.

Because of the special affection for the road mark, even in the most difficult times of the shipyard, there are several shipwrights here who volunteer to be on duty, and the condition of various equipment has been maintained well.

The so-called reactivation is nothing more than the dispatch of personnel who will be used for shipbuilding in the future, the allocation of dormitories, and the cleaning and tidying.

So, there's really nothing to see here.

Standing in the empty dry dock, Lorraine stretched out comfortably.

"Four days ago it was dock No. 2, yesterday it was dock No. 4, and today it will be dock No. 3...... Haidt, I'm amazed by your drive and efficiency. ”

Haidt nodded enthusiastically: "Although the shipyard has encountered difficulties, God willing, I have maintained a good personal friendship with the foremen of several docks. As soon as they heard that we were out of the woods, they immediately gave up their good salaries and came back, which was key to reassembling the construction team. ”

Lorraine was curious: "Boatman? Did they also bring boatmen? ”

"Boston is the most developed shipbuilding center in North Central America, and boatmen waiting for work are everywhere in Back Bay." Haight waved his hand, "We have money, we have orders, we have designers, we can completely relax the requirement for short-term hires, and then according to their performance, keep the people we want." ”

"It's just that the day-to-day supervision is hard."

"It's not hard! Compared to the pain of having nothing to do, there is nothing to be afraid of toil! ”

Haight's words struck Lorraine's heart.

Nothing to do......

The investigation of the rioters is now in the agony of having nothing to do.

Bell, Acharin, and Pierce were in the light, and Henna and Wang were also in the dark, and the rear hand and front were all ready, but the enemy was long gone.

Lorraine can understand that the reason why this is going so hard is simply because his opponent did not see him as a target.

Those people only wanted to destroy the munitions handed over to the Saints by the Continental Army, the attack of the thugs was only a means, and the destruction of the Jackdaw and the lives of more than twenty sailors were just some small gains in their pursuit of their goals, and no one would take it to heart, and Lorraine could not follow the hostility focused on him to pull out the opponent and press it down.

But the more I learned, the more humiliating my heart became.

The only thing he could count on now was the fifteen hundred spears that were nominally still in his hands, but had actually been handed over to the Saints.

"Bait...... It's time to spill it, right? ”

Meanwhile, the flower shop at 77 Wesley Street.

Sieg was bored picking flowers, ignoring Ryan, who was doing the same thing next to him.

"Today Gidaliel invited Revere to lunch, and I heard Revere say that Jefferson's socialization has come to fruition."

"He brokered a shipyard deal for Kenway and Haight, and it was very expensive. Kenway found the ship, picked up a shipyard for nothing, and in a happy mood, finally agreed to let go of the munitions. ”

Ryan raised his eyebrows: "No more claims?" ”

"After all, he's just a smuggler, interests are paramount, and he can work with the governor of Virginia to thread the needle for him, even if he says it face-to-face, he won't lose money this time."

"Hey, that's why I hate merchants." Ryan took a sip, "When are they going to deliver?" ”

"Officially delivered tomorrow morning. Revere was afraid that Kenway would find out the huge debt of the Haight shipyard and did not dare to delay too much on this matter. ”

"So you have to do it tonight?"

Sieg pinched the stem and nodded.

"Is the channel you prepared ready?"

Ryan smiled irreverently, "Poor Sander, he doesn't know that three of his four most trusted men have already become our people, and we can gather at least 300 people to Mary without going through him. Daiya, there is nothing he can do. ”

"And Kenway?"

"Kenway seems to be investigating Kidalil, and we don't dare to attack his people, for fear of startling the snake. However, he sent the Qing people on the ship to investigate the southern area, and with his skin color and language, the Qing people were approaching Sander. ”

"You're going to help him, right?"

"Compatriot, we have zealous compatriots for him, ready to show him the true direction."

"It looks like Revere won't be able to get his gun tomorrow, it's pathetic."

Siggy's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, but only for a moment, and then the smile faded.

"One more thing, did Rodney find it?"

"Rodney......" Ryan hesitated for a moment, "He has also disappeared suddenly in the past, often when he found important information, and there was no man around him who could communicate it......"

"But I've never been missing for ten days."

"We can't find him." Ryan's voice lowered, "I've reviewed with Harry several times, and no one in Boston should know of our existence except for the Royal Secret Service, including Kiddaril. ”

"Royal Secret Service...... Those servants of the king, even God doesn't know what they're thinking! If ......"

Sieg spoke softly, his voice changing from soft to inaudible.

"It's obviously a companion, but it's just the feeling that we're busy alone, so it's really not good......"
