Chapter 137: The Armed Heart of Hope
When Yi Xiaoge woke up, the three Oriental sand boats were approaching the port of Tianya Island, and the navigator next to him came over and said respectfully, "Mr. Yi, you are awake." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"One day!"
Yi Xiaoge shook his head, his whole body was sore, and there were skin injuries caused by scratching everywhere. Yi Xiaoge remembered that when he was rushed out by the water column before, his body had indeed bumped on the cave wall.
"It's so dangerous, I almost hung up on my virgin."
Yi Xiaoge hurriedly opened his backpack and checked it, and saw that everything was there, especially the shipbuilding drawings of the Heart of Hope, which he had worked hard to get, and if he lost it, he could really cut his stomach.
As soon as the ship docked, Yi Xiaoge hurriedly teleported back to No Island and went straight to the shipyard. Hall was directing the shipwrights to pull the materials from the warehouse into the shipyard, and Yi Xiaoge had arranged for Hall to prepare for the sale of the Oriental Sand Ship.
"Hall!" Yi Xiaoge stopped him from afar.
"I have drawings for a new ship here, and you can prepare the materials to build it immediately!"
"New ship!" Hall's eyes lit up, and he had a new ship to build, which meant he had a lot of experience points again, and he could vaguely feel that he was about to break through.
"You see, this is the ship."
Yi Xiaoge handed over the drawings of the Heart of Hope to Hall, and Hall was immediately surprised when he got the drawings: "Where did you get this drawing?" I've been in the heart of the world for so long, and I've never seen this type of ship, it's very finely designed, it's quite sturdy, it's much stronger than the galleon! Yes? Why didn't this ship have artillery emplacements? ”
Hall grabbed the drawings and flipped through them page by page, and finally he said: "This boat is much better than our most advanced Galen sailing yacht at the moment, and the loading capacity, sail power and firmness are excellent, but it is a pity that my class cannot make this kind of boat." ”
"Can't make it?" Yi Xiaoge looked confused: "Didn't you say that you can make it if you have drawings?" ”
Hall shook his head and said, "I really can't build this ship, because its grade is medium and high-level, and I can only build medium-medium and medium-class at the highest." This ship can only be handed over to Dean to operate! ”
"And this kind of restriction?"
It seems that Hall really can't build it, so Yi Xiaoge had to go to the nearby modification factory to find Dean, Dean is responsible for all ship modifications, so he is busy. Yi Xiaoge saw Dean covered in sweat on a Caravel sailboat being refurbished in the refit dock.
"Dean, I have a new shipbuilding map here, and Hall can't build it because of the lack of rank. You're a senior shipbuilder and a refitter, so you can build this kind of ship, right? ”
"The ship that even Mr. Hall can't build must be a very high-grade ship, Mr. Yi will show me the manufacturing map." This Dean is not arrogant or impatient, and has great respect for Hall.
"Well, I haven't seen Mr. Yi's ship either, but it does require a senior shipbuilder to build it!"
The man who developed the ship died before he could get the drawings out, and the shipbuilders certainly hadn't seen it.
Yi Xiaoge prepared all the materials worth about fifteen thousand gold coins according to Dean's request, and pulled them to the shipyard, and in the blink of an eye, an exceptionally slender and mighty ship appeared in the dock. It is twenty or thirty meters longer than the galleon, and its high bow is particularly imposing. With six sets of longitudinally arranged sails, no one dares to underestimate its speed, and with its eight-meter-wide deck and three-story cabins, it's no wonder it can fit 360 people.
Hall and another mid-level shipbuilder who had been awarded in the Superfleet Race heard about the launch of the new ship and hurried over to watch.
Everyone got on the boat to check the inside of the Heart of Hope, and Yi Xiaoge said helplessly: "The boat is a good ship, but it has no attack power, and it is just to deliver food when it goes out!" ”
"Mr. Yi, I have a very bold idea, maybe I can make this very chicken-looking ship extremely fierce!" At this time, Dean said suddenly.
"You say!" Yi Xiaoge heard Dean say that there was a way, and asked curiously, "What way?" ”
Dean pointed to the wall outside the dockyard and said, "We can move the royal cannon to the ship!" ”
"But the recoil of the royal cannon will shatter the deck?" They had thought about carrying such a powerful cannon as the Royal Cannon on board before, but the recoil was too strong.
"The reason why the Royal Cannons couldn't be carried on board the ship before was because there wasn't a suitable ship that could withstand the forces generated when the Royal Cannons fired, but this ship is very well structured, and its strength is possible as long as I modify the deck!"
"How?" Yi Xiaoge asked.
"I need a period of design and experimentation, and I need to communicate with Mr. Bugg, and only with his cooperation will it be possible to successfully refit it, and before that, I need several Hope Hearts as a model ship for experimentation."
"No problem, as long as it can be done with money, it's fine!" Yi Xiaoge patted his chest and said, now he is fully capable of saying such a thing.
Dean asked for at least five Hope Hearts to conduct experiments, Yi Xiaoge deducted a part of the Tianya Island City Defense Project and quickly produced five of them and handed them to Dean, Bugg heard that Dean wanted to carry the royal cannon on the ship, he was also quite excited, and he was very positive about this matter. Yi Xiaoge once again sighed at the world of scholars, the scum doesn't understand.
In the following days, Bugg and Dean stayed in the technology area to discuss with Uncle Blacksmith about how to solve the problem of the reverse force of the royal cannon on the deck, and at the same time, when Yi Xiaoge returned from Aberia Port every day, he would hear the fierce sound of the royal cannon on the sea of the island, which made Yi Xiaoge very anxious.
After about two or three natural days, Dean and Bug came over to look for Yi Xiaoge, and Dean took him to the dock and boarded a Heart of Hope.
Yi Xiaoge, who was on the ship, immediately found the picture of the four guns on each side of the deck, with a total length of more than two meters of royal cannons, but the original gun carriage was replaced with a low chute gun mount. At the same time, the lower part of the chute is firmly fixed with a heavy iron plate and the deck.
"What is this?"
"That's the result of our efforts in the past few days, let's let Dean tell you, he has more say." Bugg said with a smile that after getting along with Dean these days, this boy who is a few years younger than him has a very high talent.
"Mr. Bugg is serious, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to complete the task assigned by Mr. Yi, I have learned a lot from you during this time, and I have benefited a lot." Dean said heartily.
"Okay, you two top students, don't show your superiority here, I'm waiting to hear your results report!" Yi Xiaoge said angrily.
