Chapter 3: Tang Ling, the Battleship Builder

An artillery battle that had long been accustomed to in this world ended early because of Tang Ling's accession, and seven sailing ships and a power warship were also captured. For Tang Ling, the capture of these warships also gave him a better understanding of the world.

First of all, whether the author is deliberately spoofing or he is really patriotic, in short, most people speak Mandarin in this different world called "War Sea World".

The stalk about "why people all over the world (the whole universe) are speaking Mandarin" is actually not rotten, anyway, for Tang Ling, not having to be forced to learn a foreign language is obviously a great thing, so he quickly left it behind.

However, when Tang Ling learned the names of the seven hegemonic countries in this world from some books seized from the ship, he was not calm, because in addition to Mandarin, the structure and system of this world are also full of disgusting familiarity.

Because, the most powerful country is the empire in the mouth of the Great Han, and its name is "Qin".

Doesn't that sound familiar? And that's not all!

The country in second place is called "Don", does it feel familiar?

Don't worry, there's more!

The third to seventh were Han, Song, Ming, Jin, and the Six Kingdoms.

This so-called alliance of six countries is also very strange, but it is in addition to the other six difficult brothers of Qin, they are: Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei.

The war sea world, as a world with an ocean area of more than 90%, has only seven major continents, or they can't be called continents, they can only be called seven relatively large islands, and the average area of each island is 700 to 8 million square kilometers, which is the size of Australia on the earth.

According to Uncle Fur Dog and the most respected village elder in the village, there was once a great man who performed the feat of circumnavigating the world and confirmed that it would take nearly 150,000 kilometers to go around the sea in the middle of the world and then return to the original place.

In other words, the size of the world is almost the same as that of Neptune, which is fifty times the size of Earth.

Therefore, the time algorithm of this world is very different from that of the Earth, for example, in the universe in the previous life, the planets orbited the stars. But this world is just the opposite, there are two suns in the sky, and they orbit around the war sea world like satellites.

Due to the problem of different rotation speeds, it takes 48 hours for the World of War Sea to rotate for one week, and every 12 hours it alternates day and night, so this world has to experience night and day twice a day.

In addition, the world of war is also divided into large and small months, 20 days for small months, 30 days for big months, a total of 14 small months and 15 big months. The year starts with the big month and ends with the big month, with a total of 730 days in a year. (I feel like I've dug a hole in the beginning, so let's take it as a game setting, so don't dig into it!) )

Tang Ling's current island fishing village is located in the territorial waters of the Qin State, because the Qin State is the most powerful country in the world, therefore, the native people prefer to call their country "Empire".

The imperial name of the Qin Empire naturally cannot be an ornament, but it has been fought by thousands of years and countless times the emperors and generals of the Qin State, in this world, because the ocean covers too wide an area, warships and warships have become the main weapons.

Therefore, naval warfare has become the main theme of this world.

"It's too similar..." Sitting in the only captured power warship, Tang Ling kept competing with the "A Brief History of the World of the War Sea" in his hand, because it was full of Chinese characters, so Tang Ling didn't seem to have any effort, and it was through these books that his understanding of the war sea world improved.

But because of this, Tang Ling felt that the world of the sea of war was very similar to the mission world of "Heart of the Battleship", because that game was composed of such a complete mission world one after another.

Putting down this "A Brief History of the World of the War Seas", Tang Ling then picked up another more precious book, called "The Legend of the Battleship Builder".

The so-called "Battleship Builder" in Tang Ling's view, is actually the realistic version of the "Battleship Builder" in the game, the book says that in the world of war, because of the favor of the co-master, he has endowed some lucky people with a powerful ability, that is, they can build their own warship models through the law of creation to create a real battleship.

Isn't this the same as the situation in the game when the battleship builders build the battleship and then the system generates it?

Therefore, according to Tang Ling's concept, the god of this world, that is, the "co-master", plays a role in it that is completely no different from the system, and the so-called creation law plays the role of the battleship generation system.

"Battleship Builders are divided into nine levels, namely the lower three Beginner, Intermediate, and Senior Builders, the Elite, Inheritance, and Master Builders of the middle three, and the last three Grandmasters, Emperor Masters, and Divine Masters."

"If you reach 100 points of spiritual power, you can become a junior creator, reach 500 points to promote to intermediate, 1000 points to promote to senior, if you can double it again, you can become an elite-level creator in the middle position, and after that, 5000 points is the threshold of the inheritance-level creator, and if you break through 10,000 points, you can be awarded the title of master and become a respected generation of masters, and then the next three, grandmasters, emperors and divine masters, need 50,000, 100,000 and 1 million points of spiritual power respectively, which is already a legend for ordinary people."

"The next thing is the division of the profession of the battleship builder, first of all, the existence of the so-called all-round builder, they are called the battleship builder, according to legend, if you want to come to the master or above, you must be the all-round builder."

"Except for the all-round builders, the other builders are divided according to the different parts of the battleship, and they all specialize in the creation of a certain component."

"Roughly speaking, it can be divided into: hull builders, weapon system builders, power system builders, communication detection system builders and logistics resource builders. Of course, all of the above also belong to a large category, and there are many branches among them, so I will not repeat them here. ”

"In addition to the Builder, there is another profession, and they are the Battleship Managers. These are people who have enough mental power, but lack the ability to create, so they will be assigned to the battleship management department and use their mental power to actually control the battleship. ”

“······”

The book "The Legend of the Battleship Builder" does not explain how to become a battleship builder, but the introduction to the battleship builder is also more detailed, so Tang Ling watched it with relish, and at the same time, for him, a god-level player, with the deepening of his understanding, there is no need for someone to teach him how to become a battleship builder.

Putting down the book, Tang Ling put his hand on the cabin and slowly closed his eyes.

"Tick-tock..." It was like a drop of water falling, and a ripple rippled in Tang Ling's mind, this space was very large, at least the ripples took a long time to reach the edge.

And it was the ripples that touched the edge at the same time that Tang Ling's eyes had already opened, and a pair of big eyes flashed with a fine light, and everything was already clear to his chest.

When the ripples touched the edge, Tang Ling felt a transparent wall, and outside the wall, the appearance of a behemoth made Tang Ling both shocked and take it for granted.

That behemoth is a warship, and it's an aircraft carrier!

At this time, the antecedents in the cause and effect finally surfaced, Tang Ling remembered this aircraft carrier, as a battleship fan, he relied on his identity as a god-level player, and finally grabbed a scale model of the first domestic aircraft carrier from the official website, which only debuted with only 10,000 pieces.

At that time, he was excited, knowing that he was still holding the model when he logged in to the game and refused to let go, and because of this, the model cut through the circuit in the game warehouse, which caused the entire game warehouse to finally burn, and finally made Tang Ling a member of the crossing army.

As for why he is so sure that the aircraft carrier is the model he bought, the reason is very simple, because the number on the aircraft carrier is "0521", and this number happens to be Tang Ling's birthday, so after getting this model, Tang Ling will be so excited, which is really commemorative.

According to the practice of the standard golden finger for the members of the crossing army, the aircraft carrier model that came to the war sea world with him is naturally Tang Ling's golden finger, but it is a pity that Tang Ling can use too little spiritual power at this time, so it is still far away from the location of the aircraft carrier in the mental space.

After a long time, Tang Ling stood up and turned to the stern of the cabin. Thankfully, this powered ship is the pirate's lead ship, so there's a "Battleship Builder" that only battleship builders can use.

Because warships need to be maintained, pirates will also regularly go to large islands to find the kind of battleship builders who will pick up the black work, naturally, people can't run around with the building table at any time, so there will be one here.

At this time, Tang Ling came to the creation table, just to try it out, he has been itching for a long time about the magic of the battleship builder, since he has activated his spiritual power, then he naturally wants to try it himself.

This world is a comprehensive world, and it is not fixed to a certain level of shipbuilding, so everything from the most basic sailing ships to the most advanced warships exist at the same time.

It is roughly divided into four classes: sailing ships, motor sailboats, power warships, and finally steel warships.

And all the battleships are divided into six stages, Bronze, Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Dreadnought, and Glory. Each ship is made up of several parts, and all parts are divided into 60 levels, and when all parts are below level 10, the ship belongs to the bronze stage.

All parts above grade 10 and below grade 21 are black iron grades;

Level 21 to 30, Silver

Level 31 to 40, Gold

Levels 41 to 50, Dreadnought

Levels 51 to 60, Glory

In addition, warships are also divided into four types according to the size of the hull: small, medium, large and giant, normally, bronze-class battleships are generally small-scale, black iron and silver-class battleships are small and medium-sized, and gold and dreadnought-class battleships are medium-to-large scale, but only glory-class battleships can reach the giant scale.

Small warships are less than 100 meters long, medium warships are between 200 and 700 meters long, large warships are between 1,000 and 2,500 meters long, and giant warships have reached the sea city level of 5,000 meters.

In order to have an intuitive understanding of the warships in this world, before starting to build the warship, Tang Ling first looked at the power warship under him:

"Class 2 Power Ship (Bronze)"

"Class 2 Steel Hull (17/20)"

"The 2nd stage power system (two Xinghaishi primary single-cycle power turbines, working at the same time can make the vessel reach a maximum speed of 30 knots. )”

Note: One section = one nautical mile per hour, one nautical mile = 1.852 kilometers, but we are all amateurs, so in this book, one nautical mile is set as two kilometers, which is easy to remember and calculate, this is not because the author is lazy!

"Two guns of the 2nd class (maximum range of 500 meters, lethality standard level, 27 shells remaining)"

"Level 2 Band Catcher (within a radius of 2000 meters to determine the orientation of an object traveling in one direction)"

The overall level of the warship is based on the part of the lowest level, for example, the battleship that Tang Ling and they captured, all the parts have reached level 2, so this power warship is level 2. Of course, for sailboats and sailboats, as long as the hull and power system level are reached, they can be upgraded, and it seems that the co-owners have also relaxed the criteria for judging them at the bottom of the boat society.

Finally had a ship that could really be called a warship, Tang Ling naturally had to study it carefully, so in the following time, he focused on this warship.

First of all, what Tang Ling has to do is to compare the knowledge he has with the knowledge of this world.

So, the first target was the hull, the power warship was already a modern ship that had entered the sailless era, and its steel hull made it much more defensive than a wooden ship.

After the hull data there is a (17/20), which means the defense and durability of the hull. And the "20" in the back means that the defense is 20 points, and judging from the data, the previous random bombardment of the sea seals and others actually knocked out the 3 durability of this power warship.

The length of this power warship is about 25 meters, and it has a cabin that can accommodate about seven or eight people, and there is a control room above the deck, and the place near the tail of the cabin is the position of the power system.

There are two primary single-cycle power turbines of Xinghai Stone, the so-called "Xinghai Stone" is a very magical stone, as long as water is poured on it, it will produce steam-like things, it seems that this stone is born with a wonderful reaction with water.

If you put the stone in a confined space and add water to it, it won't be long before the water boils, and the steam is constantly generated.

Therefore, using this magical Xinghai Stone, the people of this world have invented the Xinghai Stone brand steam turbine that belongs to this world.

Coming out of the cabin, Tang Ling came to the control room and turned his gaze to the "band catcher".

The so-called "band catcher" is actually the simplest radar, and the band catcher works similarly to bats, except that it does not have the function of emitting ultrasonic waves, and can only receive, so it is called "catcher".

As long as it is a warship, no matter how small it is, it is more than 20 meters in size, and this type of body is actually relatively easy to capture when sailing on the sea. Of course, when the sun is shining, this thing is a waste, and the detection range is not as good as that of the naked eye and telescopes.

However, because the sea surface often changes drastically, and the visibility is as low as 100 meters or less, when fighting in such weather conditions, the band catcher will turn into the eyes of the combat ship, and the role is relatively large.

Finally, Tang Ling fixed his gaze on the two Level 2 guns on the bow of the ship. The maximum firing range is 500 meters, that is, the optimal firing range is no more than 400 meters, and the lethality is standard, which means that the shells it emits can knock out a little durability of a powered warship that is also a Class 2 hull.

Overall, the warships in this world don't conflict much with the setting in the Heart of Warships game, so he has a greater sense of doing it himself.

But that's not all, after stepping off the power warship, Tang Ling put his hand on the hull again, he wanted to try to change the power warship back to the state of the model first.

"Tick-tock..." In the spiritual space, the ripples rise again.

When Tang Ling opened his eyes again, behind him, a purple creation circle the size of a millstone appeared, and immediately after, several small creation circles began to appear on Tang Ling's arm attached to the hull of the ship.

"Close!" With a low shout, Tang Ling pressed towards the hull of the ship, and the creation circle on his arm all crashed into the power warship with his force.

The power warship touched by the Creation Circle began to glow with purple light, and a large Creation Formation began to emerge around the hull, and then, the warship began to shrink gradually, until it became a model ship that was only more than twenty centimeters long, and slowly floated into Tang Ling's hands.

"We... We finally have a builder on our island..." This scene was seen by Lily, who came to the beach to call Tang Ling home for dinner, in this world, the only person who can afford to collect the battleship is the legendary battleship builder, so Lily does not have the slightest doubt about Tang Ling's identity.

"Daddy... Daddy..." Coming to her senses, Lily began to run wildly towards the village, and she wanted to tell the whole village about the happy event as soon as possible.

At this time, Tang Ling, who was all about the warship, naturally didn't notice Lily behind him, and after taking the warship back, he continued to experiment with enlarging the warship into a real warship, repeating it back and forth, so the villagers who were called by Lily saw that the purple light on the coast was constantly flickering, and Lily didn't need to explain anything about the continuation of this scene.

"280 points?" After a long while, Wen Tiancai stopped his movements and muttered to himself.

He was experimenting, trying to figure out how much spiritual power he had now, or how much spiritual power he could use now, because of the existence of that behemoth in the spiritual space, so Tang Ling knew that the amount of his spiritual power should be very terrifying, otherwise his spiritual space would not be able to fit such a large giant ship at all.

The power warship, as a third-level warship, the one Tang Ling captured was only the smallest, so it took 3 points of spiritual power to collect it once, and it took 5 points to put it once, which means that it took 8 points to collect and release, and Tang Ling did it a total of 35 times, so he had an intuitive understanding of the amount of spiritual power he could use at present.
