The Sunset is moored in the dock and is about to be launched.

Liszt rode the landingbird Rocky and looked out at the 65-meter-long, 19-meter-wide Sky Ship with three huge thick masts.

With the collapse of the civilization of the Children of the Sun, this huge ship that is unimaginable how it soared through the sky has become history. By salvaging it and transforming it into a sailing ship, Liszt has already said goodbye to the past and moved on to a new future.

"My lord, the Sunset's current state, judging by what I know, is no longer inferior to the fast sailing ships of the palace. ”

It was Buck Driftwood, an apprentice shipbuilder.

He came from a shipyard on Leather Island, the property of Ramírez White Glutinous Rice, Marquis of Leather Island, who was forced to leave the shipyard for some reason. Then he was invited by the Tulip family to settle on Dark Horse Island through the channel of the caravan and served as the host of the dockyard.

There are three families in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire that can build brigs, the White Glutinous Rice Family, the Pineapple Green Family, and the Sapphire Family. In the past, there was also the Marquis of Bull family, which also mastered the shipbuilding technology of brigs, but now the Bull family has long disappeared.

Among them, the sapphire family also masters the construction method of the three-masted sailing ship, which basically belongs to the world's top shipbuilding technology, which is strictly confidential and cannot be leaked.

It is impossible for ordinary nobles to poach people from the Sapphire family to build ships, even if they really take away the shipbuilders, they will soon suffer the wrath of the Grand Duke.

So Liszt could only ask his father William Li to poach people from the white glutinous rice and pineapple green families, but the shipbuilder couldn't dig it, so he dug up an apprentice shipbuilder. The apprentice shipbuilder, Buck Driftwood, was not so good at his skills that he was in charge of the development of the brig's technology.

It is believed that it will not be long before Liszt will be able to master the technique of brigs.

Coupled with the keeling technique he had acquired from Virginia Truth, as well as the shouker technique he knew, he was sure to make a sailboat of the highest quality.

With rich experience in shipbuilding.

Buck Driftwood also took over the transformation of the Sunset from Captain Costo.

After exploring new materials and new structures again and again, he finally completed all the renovation work of the Sunset: "I once studied the palace fast sailing ships, and those mortise and tenon joints were very complex, and many load-bearing and moving mortise and tenon techniques, I could not get answers. But the rubber water of the territory can replace those mortise and tenon structures. ”

The Grand Duchy of Sapphire lacks iron.

All the boats were made of wood, and there was no way to weld them, so they were built with mortise and tenon joints. These mortise and tenon structures are by no means simple to observe a few times to understand the reason. Even if he dismantled a palace sailing ship and put it in front of Barker's eyes, he couldn't figure it out.

But one of the most important specialties of Black Horse Island plays an important role in shipbuilding technology - rubber water.

The use of rubber-water bonded materials is stronger than steel riveting, and the solidified rubber-water is fire-resistant, water-resistant, strong, magic-resistant, and anti-corrosion.

"In terms of the main keel, it is still necessary to fix it through the mortise and tenon structure, but in terms of details, it can be replaced by rubber water. Therefore, the condition of the Sunset will not be worse than that of the palace speedeer...... But to develop the technology of the three-masted sailing ship, I am afraid it will take time to study. ”

Buck was about thirty-five years old and began working in the dockyard at the age of fifteen.

He may not have much talent, but with years of experience, his vision is absolutely fine – the Sunset is up to the standard for long-distance sailing.

"Let's go!"

Waiting for the Sunset to replenish its navigational supplies, Liszt led a squad of knights and boarded the ship with Galtai, Blair, Costeau and other officials.

Wide deck.

Compared to when he took the fast sailboat of the Long Taro family, it felt a little wider. The sea breeze blew, and the sailors immediately lifted anchor, hoisted the sails, and rowed the oars under the command of the first and second officers, and the Sunset cut through the waves on the sea, slowly sailed out of the dock, and sailed from the green water to the blue water.

The boat ride was very smooth, with tables and cups on the deck, and Liszt could sit under a parasol and taste the juice of the coconut fruit.

At the top of the main mast, a black tulip temperament is waving in the wind.

"My lord, the Sunset is so grandiose that such a sailing ship would never be worse than the Grand Duke's court speedboat. Galtai held a fragrant coconut fruit and said beautifully.

"It's really powerful, but I always feel like there's something missing. Liszt walked to the bow of the boat and said.

Galtai looked at the bow of the ship and suddenly realized: "I see, my lord, the Sunset has been perfectly restored, but the bow image has not been installed. If you want to gain the glory of knighthood on the sea, you should install a sapphire dragon bow in the bow of the ship. ”

The sapphire dragon is the master of the turquoise sea, and its bow statue is naturally popular.

"Bow statue?"

Liszt narrowed his eyes, he was not willing to install the sapphire dragon bow, and if he wanted to install the fire dragon bow, he should also install the fire dragon bow. However, he prefers another tool for bow-mounted vessels to the bow statue, the ramming angle.

Presently.

There is only one navy in the blue sea, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and the sailing ships are equipped with ramming horns, which seems to be meaningless, and there are no naval battles - those small sampans produced by the land kingdom, or oars and boats, do not dare to go to sea at all, and a wave hits, and the boat basically capsizes and dies.

"But ......," Liszt decided to let the boatmen study the ramming angles after returning to the voyage, "If you can coexist peacefully with the Sapphire family, the ramming angles are naturally useless." But in case the Grand Duke of Sapphire can't tolerate me, a naval battle is destined to happen, and the collision angle may be a strategic advantage. ”

He called Costor and Buck and described the armor to them: "When you go back, you must carefully study the ramming." ”

"Yes, sir!"

......

The speed of the wide Sunset is certainly not comparable to that of the palace fast sailing ship, that is, the speed of an ordinary brig. Departing from Port Town, the sun was already setting when we arrived at the port of Coral City. The sun is setting in the sky, and when you look over the harbor, you can see the black tulip flag.

Levi's, who came to greet Liszt, didn't feel much when he looked at such a picture scroll - he didn't know the meaning of the sunset.

It was a commemoration of the lost civilization of the Children of the Sun, which had been in complete decline since the sinking of the ship in the sky.

"Liszt, is this the shipwreck you salvaged from the bottom of the sea, converted into a three-masted galleon?" Levi's saw Liszt disembark from the Sunset, and couldn't help asking, "It doesn't seem to be a three-masted galleon of the court, the shape and style of the hull are very different from the palace sailing ship." ”

"Maybe it's the wreck of the Magic Goat family a hundred years ago, basically only one hull remains, and the rest is repaired by me with rubber water. ”

"But it looks good, it doesn't look like a shipwreck. ”

"The whole thing has been polished, and a lot of decayed materials have been replaced, so that it can be renewed. Liszt smiled slightly, "It may not be as powerful as the court's fast sailboat, but it should be more powerful than the Tulip." At least from the outside, it looks a whole circle bigger. ”

Levi flattened his mouth: "The Tulip is already an old ship for more than ten years, and it should have been replaced a long time ago...... If it weren't for the struggle with Mother and Son, I would have paid out of my own pocket to buy a more comfortable three-masted sailboat. "Working with Liszt in many industries, he made a lot of money.

Therefore, he speaks in a loud tone.

Three-masted galleons with thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins have to be bought by themselves when they open their mouths.

Liszt, who had already been divided into the family property, was not interested at all, and he was very pleased to see the dock workers carrying the Sunset's goods: "With the Sunset, at least a thousand more serfs can be pulled on each trip...... If you have money, you should buy a boat, and only when you have a boat can you do big business!"

"The family does have a plan to continue to buy a batch of cargo ships, mainly glass from your territory, which is becoming more and more popular. Liszt and Lolia have calculated that according to the current scale of sales growth, the glass business alone is enough to support the original Tulip family!"

Originally, liquor was the most lucrative industry in the territory, but now glass has far surpassed liquor - this is an exclusive business, and it is an exclusive business at no cost.

"Let Loria put her heart on the bigger picture, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is only a remote archipelago country after all, with a small population and few nobles. The vast continent is the place where business should really be, and when I complete the glass technology and expand the scale of output, the gold coins are just a bunch of numbers. ”

"Haha, that's very right, in the future, gold coins will be just a bunch of numbers for us!" Levi imagined the beautiful blueprint, and was very excited, "Father is still on Blue Dragon Island and has not returned, Grandmother is not waiting to see Lady Marry, Li Wei has returned to Falcon Town, and Loria is not feeling well...... Why don't we go straight to the Gravel Castle?"

"Do what?"

"A fun party. Levi smiled wickedly.

Liszt shook his head calmly: "Brother, how many times have I said that I don't like this kind of party, just rest for the night at Tulip Castle, and I will return by boat tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh my God, you really don't look like a nobleman, how can a nobleman not enjoy life!"
