Chapter 138: Winter is Coming
"Mr. Yi, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly, as you can see, this is the result of our design. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The structure of the info Heart of Hope is sturdy and can withstand the lateral forces of the Royal Cannon, but the longitudinal forces are incapable of withstanding all decks. So we thought of increasing the strength of the deck and reducing the recoil of the royal cannon to solve the problem, first of all, the recoil of the royal cannon, because the firing conditions on land were much better than at sea, so the gun carriage design did not meet the requirements of the ship. We have specially made this chute type gun carriage for the Royal Cannon, which can move forward and backward, and the bayonet on the gun body and the chute fixed on the deck form a stable gun carriage, and a large amount of iron sand is added to the half-open chute to increase the deterrent effect and reduce the wear of the chute, which greatly reduces the recoil of the Royal Cannon. ”
After Dean finished speaking, Bugg continued: "This is one thing, and the second is the strength of the deck, we sacrifice part of the sailing speed and the space of the ship, and use a whole log directly from the bottom of the cabin to penetrate the two decks as the support point of the cannon, and fix it with iron plates and molten iron at both ends of the bottom and deck. Also covered with iron plates around the gun emplacements to enhance deck strength! ”
"I'm rubbing! Retro version of the hydraulic brake! After listening to Dean and Buge's introduction, Yi Xiaoge said that he could take his knee away.
This is simply the predecessor of the hydraulic brake device, but the hydraulic pressure is replaced with iron sand, and because the process cannot be sealed, but this is also very against the sky, okay?
"However, the chute gun carriage was not very effective, which led to a significant reduction in the range of the gun, and the longest range we tried was two nautical miles, which was a third shorter." Bugg added.
"Yes, it's pretty good, it's much farther than the range of the Galen galleon!" Yi Xiaoge said with satisfaction.
Dean took Yi Xiaoge down of the cabin, and sure enough, he saw eight pillars with a diameter of more than seventy centimeters and inlaid with iron bars on the outside directly through the bilge. Dean pointed to the hull and said, "In addition to that, we still added iron plates to the side guards and replaced the sails. Although it lost some loading capacity and sailing speed, the armed forces were terrifying, and even if it lost speed, its sail power was still twenty percent faster than that of the Galen galleon. ”
Bug also said: "The military industrial base is stepping up the research and development of incendiary bombs suitable for the royal cannon, and I believe that there will be results soon." ”
Yi Xiaoge nodded, and he said: "Such an armed version of the Heart of Hope sailboat must be launched as soon as possible, and our sea forces must be in the leading position, otherwise it will be easy to suffer!" ”
The cost of the armed version of the Heart of Hope was directly increased to 25,000 gold coins on the original basis, Yi Xiaoge felt that the 25,000 gold coins were too worth it, and the thought of being able to fire a cannon to attack the enemy ship two nautical miles away, if you added an ultra-long strike, it would be six nautical miles.
"That picture is so beautiful, I can't think about it!"
The heart of hope was developed, Yi Xiaoge was relieved, and took the time to throw all the hundreds of books to the bookstore, which made the scholars in the bookstore very happy, shouting that his bookstore must be full of people now. As for the two symbolic things of Yanadin, Yi Xiaoge threw them directly into the box of the Sea Corner Villa, which seemed to have no effect.
Another morning, Yi Xiaoge walked out of the villa, the warm light on the seaside shone through, and Yi Xiaoge felt refreshed. It stands to reason that he opened the trading center and browsed the trading items, and after reading a few pages, Yi Xiaoge suddenly found a situation. Grain crops and livestock products, which were usually abundant in abundance, are suddenly almost gone, and only a few fish products are left to sell. This phenomenon is very abnormal, he hurriedly asked in the Chamber of Commerce channel.
"Hey! I said, big guy, didn't you notice that all of a sudden the food in the trading center is extremely scarce, what's going on? ”
"Boss, you just got back from Mars?"
"The boss is a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, how can he know the sorrow of a poor middle peasant like us?"
"Boss, this is pretending, you all dive!"
Yi Xiaoge's question attracted everyone's contempt, he buckled his head inexplicably, and finally said with a lot of pure fish: "Boss, it's winter from today, don't you see a buff on the personal panel?" In winter, all crops and livestock products have tripled their growing time, and the islanders' food consumption has tripled. Duration one hundred and twenty game days! ”
"Nani?"
Yi Xiaoge opened his personal panel, not to mention that he really saw such a state buff, he hurriedly went to check the production of the four basic buildings of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and saw that the corn and wheat were still ripe in seconds, and the calves grew into adult cows in seconds, so he was a lot more relieved. Immediately he ran to the Cape of the Sea, and as soon as he entered the Cape of the Sea, he was greeted by a cold wind blowing, and the squeaks under his feet had accumulated twenty centimeters of snow.
"I'm rubbing! It's really winter. ”
The islanders of Cape de Sea have long been wearing cotton clothes made in the garment workshop, and Bug and his mentor Mr. Grindersea also wear leather cotton clothes to work in the science and technology district, but the blacksmith is still in full swing producing various products. Yi Xiaoge turned to Tianya Island, the temperature of Tianya Island was even lower than that of the Cape of the Sea, Yi Xiaoge hurriedly put on a thick cotton suit, he inspected the construction of the city wall, because of the weather, the construction progress of the city wall was very slow. The shotgun guards still patrol the island as they were arranged, and their clothing is leather armor with a wool lining, which is very warm.
Yi Xiaoge can use high-end textiles such as wool to equip soldiers with such luxury, Yi Xiaoge looked at the snow, and his heart was about to bloom, this was a good opportunity for him to make a lot of money.
"Romang, tell everyone that the daily food on our island will triple after the beginning of winter! Each islander supplies one coal for heating! ”
Yi Xiaoge went to the Moss tribe, because Yi Xiaoge had sent winter supplies to the savages before, so now their living conditions are very good, but there is still a lack of food, Yi Xiaoge handed over a batch of meat and wheat and other food to the high priest of Uriva, in addition to asking Karma to take people to the coal mining area to pull coal back as winter fuel.
Once everything on the island was done, he began to plan how to make money this winter.
First of all, he did not intend to sell agricultural products, which is easy to suspect, and he intended to start with fish, which is only available in winter.
