Chapter 157: Demolition Boat
Grindersea was standing on the shore of the special port of the science and technology district, and in the berth was a row of ten-meter-long sailboats, each with the mast of which had been cut off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info was replaced by three iron tubes attached side by side to the stern of the boat. The diameter of the tube is about 30 centimeters, and it is embedded in the hull one up and two down. The other end gradually shrinks to 10 centimeters. Part of the deck and rudder were removed from the ship, leaving only an empty shell, but inside it contained a dozen barrels of explosives.
Yi Xiaoge saw Grinder standing on the dock from afar, so he ran over to say hello: "Mr. Green, it turned out to be you, you have been very busy these days, and you have no time to walk around the science and technology area, please bear with me if you have any slackness!" ā
For such high-level NPCs, it is necessary to increase the level of friends as much as possible, so that you can use it for yourself.
"Mr. Yi, you're here, where's Buge?"
"Him?" Yi Xiaoge heard Grinder ask Bug, and once again remembered Bugg's sad look when he opened the durian, saying that he couldn't eat it anymore, so he ran away.
"Bugg is concentrating on eating durian, he asked me to come to you, I heard that you have new results to give me?"
Grindersea nodded, he pointed to the small sailing ship on the berth in the harbor and said: "I was inspired by the last time the small sailing ship loaded with explosive barrels to sneak attack the enemy, after a period of research, I came up with a new, more safe and reliable device. You come with me! ā
Grindersey pointed to the small sailing ship and said, "The last time the small sailing ship with explosive barrels was towed by the dolphins to attack the enemy fleet and win. But that's only a sneak attack. Although the dolphin itself is fast, it is difficult to tow the sailboat, and the dolphin will definitely be injured if it is hit by an enemy shell and explodes during the attack. So I devised a jet propulsion device that, with a sufficient amount of explosives, could make the sailboat travel at a speed of twenty knots for up to two nautical miles! ā
"I'm going to the jets! What a bull fork! ā
Yi Xiaoge was shocked by Grindersea's design, what is the concept of twenty stanzas? That was faster than Yi Xiaoge driving the Heart of Hope to start the extreme speed of sailing, the Galen sailing ship had a maximum speed of fourteen knots in a downwind situation, and the speed during the battle could not reach this speed at all, and his Heart of Hope turned on the rapid sailing plus the speed of the downwind was also up to sixteen knots.
Looking at the three jet pipes comparable to chimneys, Yi Xiaoge said, "Then how to operate this propulsion device and how to use it?" ā
"We can fire this sailboat, which I have called a blaster, with enough gunpowder sealed in sections of three jet pipes, and a slow-burning gunpowder is added in the middle of each section so that it does not burn out quickly. The three jet tubes ignite at the same time after ignition, and the energy generated by the combustion of a large amount of gunpowder in the tubes is ejected out of the tubes, thus propelling the sailboat forward! I added a deflector and counterweight to the lower bow of the boat, at Dean's suggestion, so that it could go in the direction of travel without being too affected by the light wind and waves. Ten to fifteen barrels of explosives are powerful enough to inflict a fatal blow on any ship that it hits! ā
Grindersy's explanation, Yi Xiaoge fully understood, this is equivalent to a rocket thruster. It's just that you can't control the direction precisely, and the distance you can advance is only two nautical miles, but two nautical miles is enough for island defense.
"So what is the cost of production of such a blasting ship?"
Grindelsea took out a slip from his body and handed it over, Yi Xiaoge nodded secretly, this is a high-level intellectual talent, everything is justified and evidence-based, to ensure the accuracy of the data.
"Mr. Green has had a lot of effort...... Burst! ā
Yi Xiaoge praised Grindersey, took the list and looked at it, and almost squirted out the cup of coffee he had just drunk before.
"Mr. Green! Seven hundred gold! I don't have to build a royal cannon as much as this, right? And it's a one-time weapon......"
Grinder West obviously expected that Yi Xiaoge would have objections because of the cost, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Yi, a cannon may not be able to sink a high-level ship in a war, but as long as the blasting boat hits, it will definitely make the enemy have no return, with a speed of twenty knots, it can hit a target two nautical miles away in a few minutes, and I dare to guarantee that if you advance at such a speed, it will be difficult to be hit by the existing artillery, unless it is a covering attack!" ā
Yi Xiaoge thought about it, seven hundred gold, according to the current income, it is not expensive, and the income of one natural day is enough to build a few hundred ships.
"Well, put it into production now and stock it up for a rainy day! By the way, how much is the daily output? ā
"If we start work at full capacity, about ten."
Ten ships, only eighty ships in a natural day, this number is too small.
"Let Buge and Qin Feiyan cooperate to make use of all the remaining land in the industrial zone to build a blacksmith workshop and speed up production!" Now there are hundreds of unemployed blacksmiths on his island, and it would be a pity not to use them.
"Mr. Yi, I suggest that you build the smelter as soon as possible, and then these weapons and equipment will be manufactured faster!"
Yi Xiaoge also thought, but he couldn't find such a talent yet, he planned to wait a few days to raise enough eight or nine hundred thousand gold coins, and then brush up on a wave of islanders to see if he could get a harvest.
After a good night's rest, when he got up in the morning, Yi Xiaoge suddenly smelled the purity of milk and the wheat aroma of toasted bread. When I woke up, there was a plate of sliced bread on the wooden table in the living room, as well as an omelette, a steak, a glass of milk, and freshly cut fruit such as apples.
"I'll go! What's going on? ā
When Yi Xiaoge was looking at this scene as if he was dreaming and couldn't extricate himself, Qin Feiyu walked in with a basin of water and cotton towels outside the door.
"Second brother woke up? Let's wipe your face and have breakfast. Qin Feiyu had a charming smile on her face, an apron on her body, and her soft skin was shining with intoxicating brilliance under the sunshine of a new day on the island.
"You did all this?"
"Well, didn't the second brother ask me to take care of your daily life and food? Are you still satisfied with my job? ā
Yi Xiaoge's excited chick nodded like a rice and said, "Satisfied, satisfied!" So satisfied, I give you one hundred and one points for your work! Take advantage of it! ā
In the past few months, Yi Xiaoge finally realized the noble status of being the owner of the island, oh my God, he couldn't imagine how nourishing his life would be in the future. He felt like the good days were coming when he was lying on a beach chair and peeping into a bikini beauty with a binoculars under a sun umbrella!
"That, Fei Yan, you can also sit down and eat together, there are so many I can't eat." Yi Xiaoge said embarrassedly, although Qin Feiyan is an NPC, but as a silk man who has never been in contact with the opposite sex, any beauty has a fatal attack on him, just take the last super fleet competition by the little yellow flower in his hand as an example, it is a bloody lesson.
"Well, okay, second brother!"
Sharing breakfast with beautiful women, this kind of picture is simply something Yi Xiaoge never dared to think, but I didn't expect it to be realized in the game now, it's a pity that Qin Feiyan is a system character. How nice it would be if it were a player......
"A good day starts now!" Yi Xiaoge shouted happily as he touched his well-fed belly, and Luo Meng and Riel who passed by the window cast contemptuous glances.
