Chapter 479: Set Sail

It can be said that almost all the methods such as cheating and abduction have been used, and the Shi family's manpower has finally arrived. The reserve forces developed from the mountain people and bureaucrats www.biquge.info pen & fun > pavilion still seem to be quite good, and it can be said that they are all the best of the best, and there are real talents with a skill. The so-called heroes of the three mountains and five mountains around Guangzhou who worked hard to get it really look a bit uneven.

After some of them were pulled over to verify their bodies, they were simply pulled out by Shi Lei's subordinates and cut off their heads, their reputation was too bad, they did too much evil, and if they didn't kill enough people to be angry, Shi Lei would definitely not let them stay alive and be embarrassed by his side, it was better to kill a hundred as soon as possible.

The others, whether they are willing or not, now that they are under Shi Lei's hands, after some transformation, how can they say that the style in this hand will not be worse than the elite veterans of other families.

Even if it was the worst of the original, it was still okay to fight with those veterans who were no longer young with their super physical fitness after transformation.

Of course, there are those who Shi Lei was the first to subdue, and the absolute top figures among the bandits and bandits lead them, and they will not give these people a chance to shake. There are really those who disobey discipline, Shi Lei has authorized them, and they will be cut together.

It just so happens that Shi Lei can't look down on these crooked melons and cracked dates, they are dead, and they can still vacate the quota for transformation, and Shi Lei can still keep it to transform those characters who really look at it and can get their hands on it, which can be regarded as worthy of the Shi family's reputation as only the top elite.

If it weren't for the fact that this wave of employment was too anxious, and it was a good thing like throwing it to the side of the Wa Kingdom to squat in the black kiln and comprehensively transform the body, it would not have been the turn of this group of guys who couldn't get on the stage, and it didn't lower the style of the Shi family.

But it's because there is such a prejudice in my heart, and the future of these people will definitely be different. The ones that Shi Lei really values, as long as the performance is not too bad, will definitely have the opportunity to be transferred back in the future.

As for those unlucky bandits, be prepared to squat in the kiln for the rest of their lives, anyway, there is always a need for some standing forces on the side of the Wa Kingdom, and they have been stationed there, and they want to get the opportunity to rotate back to the country to rest.

After simply training all the new recruits to familiarize them with their new bodies, it was almost time for them to go. Because of the further expansion of the shipyard scale and the hard work of almost non-stop overtime, the new ships ordered by each company can be launched one after another.

This plan to enter the Japanese country, Shi Lei informed his noble camp early on, so looking for sailors or something will definitely not be temporary, but ready early.

After the ships were in place, a larger-scale fleet based on the armed merchant ships of the Shi family was slowly taking shape, and after a period of adaptation, the sailors of each family were able to control these advanced sea ships more freely.

These cargo ships, which carried the ardent expectations of each family, were all loaded with full of goods, and of course, each family's own manpower, chose a good day, in Shi Lei's blessings, under their eyes, set sail, and ran to the biggest goal this time, and it is also Shi Lei's biggest career in the future, the Iwami Silver Mountain of the Wa Kingdom.

After sending off the fleet, Shi Lei did not immediately idle, but went to the secret dock to watch the real new ship, which gathered all the technical strength of the Shi family and the wisdom of the masters to build the future flagship, a top sailing weapon that far surpasses any existing ship in all aspects.

Although there was only one large ship, it took no less time to build it than it took to build a fleet for other companies.

There are too many technical difficulties that need to be overcome by this new type of ship, from design to construction, every step can be said to be a new attempt, and many things have never appeared in Datang before, so it will take time for shipbuilders to understand and understand these things.

It takes a while to really build it as it was envisioned, and often every time a part is completed, you need to pause to give the material some adaptation work, and also give them some work to think about what to do next, so that the speed of building is naturally much slower.

In addition, for the sake of secrecy, the number of workers who can go to the secret dock to start work is still relatively limited, and they can't show any abnormalities, so they often take the time to come here to work overtime, which increases the difficulty of completion.

One of the biggest problems is that most of the main body of this ship is made of ironwood. The advantages and disadvantages of this wood are as prominent, and the advantage is that this kind of wood is probably the toughest wood that can be found in China, second only to iron birch.

Like all good wood, its material is extremely heavy, hard and tough, and extremely wear-resistant, plus its own oil content is quite high, there is a unique fragrance, so the corrosion resistance is also super strong, but also can resist termites and other insects, and it is not easy to deform, even if it is soaked in water for a long time, it is not easy to rot, who let it grow in the rainforest with a lot of rain.

The advantages of this kind are destined to make this kind of wood, which is definitely a good shipbuilding material, especially when used in the main body, and even the effort of brushing tung oil can save a lot.

But it's also because of these characteristics, it's very difficult to process it into an ideal look, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the money.

Because this material is relatively rare, and it is not easy to cut down, this new type of ship that is one size larger than other ocean-going cargo ships, and even the main warships of Datang, is naturally extremely expensive.

If it is built like this, the cost will not be lower than the combined value of the entire Shijia fleet, and this does not include the value of the star iron raw materials that have also been used up a lot.

With the Shi family's current financial resources, it is estimated that they can build all the silver in the treasury if they really build this kind of fleet.

Of course, this is a luxury ship, and its strong performance is definitely worthy of this price.

Needless to say, the strength of this hull is definitely a second kill for all similar big ships, even if you put aside the part of the collision angle, and directly fight against a warship of the same weight, it is estimated that you can directly dismember the other party.

This brings a series of benefits, which are also obvious, because of the greater wave resistance, the greater loading capacity, and even the faster speed.

Moreover, this ship adopts the kind of floating plate design used by the Datang Haijuan ship, and the driftwood is placed on both sides of the hull to make the hull more difficult to capsize, and the stability at sea is far greater than that of a ship of the same size.

Three sails stand tall to ensure that this huge ship can make better use of the sea breeze to provide power. There are also dozens of wheel oars on both sides of the hull, which can still ensure that the boat can move at a very fast speed when the sea breeze is not strong.

As a huge sea ship with its own original design, it is obviously impossible to use it only as a simple merchant ship, and there is also more room for expansion in the setting of weapons and equipment.

More bed crossbows hidden in the hull and can be raised to the deck ensure that it has more powerful attack power, and the attack direction and angle of these bed crossbows have corresponding mechanisms that can be quickly adjusted, which can completely ensure that the range of each bed crossbow can cover most of the enemy's direction.

Some other inconspicuous places are also full of various mechanisms, making this larger armed merchant ship more fast and flexible to operate, and it takes much less manpower to play it.

The liberation of more sailors naturally increases the attack power of the ship in disguise, because there are more people who can grab weapons and participate in the battle.

Full of excitement, after seeing the inside and outside of this big ship, Shi Lei simply explained to his subordinates, and was ready to start its maiden voyage with this big ship. (To be continued.) )
