"Host, this ship is very new, I just scanned it, it was launched in the shipyard in Amsterdam three years ago, this battle did not hurt the keel and the ribs of the ship, but there are more than 200 thick holes in the mouth of the bowl, and there are two large holes near the waterline that have been damaged by drifting mines, some of which can be replaced with new planks with spare wood on board.

However, the front mast and the rear mast were broken, and they were lost in the sea and needed to be repaired at the shipyard, and although the sails were burned, there were spare ones in the hold. The only drawback of this boat is the draft, which reaches six meters, and the bulkheads are still too thin. Not very resistant to fighting. ”

"Do you have any suggestions" Li Jing said, based on his interaction with the customer service sister during this time, it is very clear what the customer service sister is going to sell to him.

"I think the host can use the new ship as your ship, and I can provide a new set of sail lines and rigging. New power-assisted ratchet system. In this way, only thirty people can easily steer the boat.

In addition, in view of the weakness of the ship's armor is too thin, I can recommend the host to buy, the corrosion-resistant marine aluminum alloy armor plate, the weight is only one-third of steel, and the hardness and toughness are much more than steel. If it was laid outside the waterline and bulwark, there was basically no artillery to penetrate in this era.

But the disadvantage is that it takes up too much weight, and the cargo capacity of this ship is in addition to supplies and ammunition. will drop to 200 tons. It doesn't have much transport capacity. ”

"In this era, it is not possible to extract metal aluminum, so it will not be expensive to use such materials without the support of the technology tree."

"This price is still relatively cost-effective, although it will take 200 years to really extract the metal aluminum, but humans have been using aluminum-containing porcelain clay to make pottery for more than 2,000 years. Moreover, aluminium is the third most abundant of all elements in the earth's crust. It's not a scarce resource, I'll charge you 1 million platform coins for this set of armor plates, what do you think?"

"This is too expensive", seeing that his money would be one-sixth less all of a sudden, Li Jing couldn't help but feel pain. "In this way, first buy ropes and rigging, power assist system, go to the shipyard in Nanjing to repair and install it, and put it in my warehouse on the platform first. I'm thinking about the armor, I won't use this ship for long, and when I build a clipper, I'll use the clipper as my ship. ”

"Okay, the host can contact me at any time after thinking about it, and I will leave an image reservation on the upper platform, so that the host can deliver it in a short time when needed"

"Okay, no problem."

After exiting the light curtain, Li Jing began to walk around the ship to check. After Li Jing's careful assessment, this is a new fourth-class warship of 800 tons. The design is very reasonable, and it can be said that it is the latest warship in Europe at this time. Oak and teak were used extensively, and the keel and ribs were made of very hard wood, with the only drawbacks being the draft, and the armor planks on the sides were too thin, which was a trade-off between load capacity and protection.

The boat itself is a huge gain, Li Jing found after the investigation that if the ship is transformed, the sail of the crosssail and the spinnaker will be turned into a mixed sail of the sail, the spinnaker and the longitudinal sail. Performance can also be improved so that it can be driven in any wind direction, and the boat is still very new and will not be in the water for more than three years. The technological advancement is enough for Li Jing to use for more than ten years.

Specifically, in the vertical direction of the three-layer beams of the three main masts, the sails are added behind the masts. The jib between the front mast and the foremast remains unchanged. If you are driving downwind, use a crosssail and a spinnaker, which is the fastest. If crosswind and headwind, tuck up and lower the sail and jib and use the schooner. The result was an 18th-century full-sail concept, a hundred years ahead of today's ideas.

If you order sails and rigging from the light curtain, it is difficult to explain the source, but this time the Flying Mountain came out with three sets of shangers. If there is a surplus of sails, you can install them on this ship, and if they are not the right size, they can be cut and sewn to form a large set of shoulders. The original four-cornered sails on the battleship still have spare ones in the hold, which can be found and repaired. The broken rear mast and front mast can only be repaired later when they go to the shipyard to find suitable timber.

In addition, the ratchet mechanism on the Flying Mountain could be removed and installed on the deck of the new ship, which was severely understaffed. So that more than thirty people could sail the boat.

The ropes and rigging on the ship were already very advanced in Europe at this time. However, in the opinion of Li Jing, who has carefully studied the book "Encyclopedia of Sailing and Navigation Technology", it still seems disorganized and chaotic, with many functions being single, and some of them not being efficient. On the light curtain, he ordered a set of brass rigging and a rope wrapped in steel wire from chemical fiber. Quite a bit of money was spent. But on this ship, Li Jing seized fifty kilograms of gold. Li Jing has risen to more than 6.05 million platform coins on the light curtain, and he doesn't care about these hundreds of platform coins.

Li Jing was very satisfied with this new ship and decided to take this ship as his future ship. Renamed the "Flaming Phoenix". And personally designed his own flag, a huge flame-like bright red background, in the middle of the top is a vigorous flame, above the flame is the same flame line abstract composition of the horizontal wings flying upward, and open its mouth to chirp the form of a phoenix.

The flame and the phoenix are embroidered with gold thread, and the contrast between red and golden yellow is particularly eye-catching. Make a great impression. Li Jing himself did not realize at this time that this flag, which symbolizes the rebirth of this ancient race in disasters in the long history, will be planted in every corner of this world with the footsteps of his conquest.

For the rest of the day, the Flying Mountain took advantage of the time window for the tide and wind direction to pull the flaming phoenix upside down from the dunes, and then mobilized nearly thirty carpenters from the two ships to start together, using the timber stored on the two ships, to repair the broken ship walls and clean the water that entered the cabin.

Repair the steering wheel and sails, and install the schooner and ratchet assist lift sail system. and cleaned the Dutch warships, thoroughly cleaned the whole ship, and sent their hammocks, bedding, and other belongings to the island where they were banished. Together with the two boat cats on board. Li Jing was really worried that the infectious disease in Europe would spread to Daming. After that, it was sprayed with boiling water and lime.

At night, Li Jing secretly bought a pesticide sprayer and disinfectant on the light curtain, disinfected it thoroughly, and put rat poison in the corner of the cabin. Only then did I move to a new ship with confidence.

Li Weier and Li Yue'er naturally refused to continue to squeeze a bed on the Feilai Mountain, clamoring to come to live on the new ship, Li Jing had to live on the top floor of the stern by himself, the fourth maid and the two sisters lived in the middle suite on the middle floor, Boss Zhang and some of the ship's stewards lived in the bottom suite, and some sailors who moved over lived in the gun compartment and slept in hammocks.

After staying in Penghu for five days, replenishing enough fresh water and other supplies, the Flame Phoenix and Feilaishan formed a formation and sailed directly to Nanjing.
