Chapter 4 Wooden Ships Fight Iron Ships
So in the next few days, Tang Ling began to frantically carry out all kinds of experiments, what kind of materials are suitable for building warships, what kind of design is more in line with reality, for a while, he seems to have returned to his previous life, but this sense of reality was not available in the game before.
In terms of craftsmanship in making models, Tang Ling, who can disassemble and assemble such a complex aircraft carrier model in an hour, is definitely comparable to the world's top founders, and in terms of creativity, he is also not inferior to anyone, plus the battleship models and templates that Tang Ling has in his mind are completely beyond the imagination of the world's founders, so the advantages he has are also very obvious.
Of course, the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, so now he was only a junior builder, and he had been battling with wooden ships for the past few days, and as he became more and more skilled, he also found time to repair the existing eight warships, so that they were all brand new.
In the world of war, how high the status of the battleship builder is, Tang Ling has a profound understanding in the past few days. Not only was three meals a day delivered by someone, but the village chief also took the initiative to give up his house for him to live in, and wherever he went, he was accompanied by at least four strong warriors as escorts.
And what made Tang Ling feel helpless the most was that he couldn't accept it yet, in fact, it was not difficult to understand that he was a genius who awakened to become a battleship builder at the age of six even on the main island, so the villagers naturally had to do everything they could to keep him.
In this way, Tang Ling lived a life of being served every day, and since he couldn't resist, he slowly got used to it, and then continued to devote himself to his shipbuilding business.
Soon, the opportunity to practice came. In the second month after Tang Ling's awakening, that is, the 132nd day after he came to this war world, another wave of pirates approached the island where Tang Ling was located.
The world of the sea of war is too big, but the land area is so small that many people may never see what the land is like in their lives, and they can only imagine it in the stories of their elders. Therefore, Tang Ling's small island of less than five square kilometers is also a treasure in the eyes of the surrounding pirates, listening to Uncle Sea Dog and them, for generations, this island has been attacked tens of thousands of times.
This can explain why there are more than 30 coastal defense cannons on such a small island, which is the family business saved by the island's residents for generations! It was the presence of these cannons that kept the island safe from pirates, so even young children like Lily no longer had any frightened expressions in the face of the cannons, because they were used to it.
However, as a traverser, as a happy person living in a peaceful era, Tang Ling does not like the current status quo of the island, these simple villagers are very good to him, he likes it very much, so:
"First mission, take out all the pirates who come to attack!" Once again, when he boarded the power warship "Guard", Tang Ling's big eyes shot a fierce light.
Because of the warships, the seven sailing ships are divided into three waves, and they patrol the perimeter of the island every day, and it has to be said that these people living on the island are born to be good sailors, and they can complete the task of sailing ships well without training at all.
Because of this, the pirates who came this time were discovered when they were still fifty kilometers away from the island.
"Fire!" Standing on the Guard, Uncle Fur Dog was in high spirits, and a loud roar could be clearly heard within a radius of several miles.
"Boom, boom..."
"How is it possible, where did this group of fishermen invite the founders, tell me, why there are founders?!"
"Great Chief, I... I really don't know! ”
The Pirate Regiment, a median pirate group with a four-snake flag, has a 50-meter-long medium-sized power warship as the lead ship, another 5 25-meter-long small power warships, and dozens of various sailing ships, which is already one of the strongest pirate groups within a radius of 1,000 kilometers.
At this time, the pirate he held in his hand was the original owner of the Guard, the world of pirates is very naked, not to mention a bare-bones commander, even if this pirate is still in its heyday, it is not enough to see in the nigger pirate group, the so-called official is a big man to crush people, one more snake head, the gap is such a reality.
But such a powerful pirate group, when they saw Tang Ling's fleet at this time, they were already scared. There is no other reason, although the frenzied Tang Ling does not have the strength to create a battleship-class warship now, but in terms of the attainment of wooden ships, the ancestors of Huaxia are also respectable existences in this world.
So when Tang Ling threw out a Zheng He treasure ship, the big leader of the pirate group couldn't wait to immediately kill the pirate leader who instigated him to attack this small island and then run away, that was the battleship builder, offending them was simply looking for death!
It took Tang Ling more than 30 days to consume all the remaining pine trees on the island before he finally succeeded in creating such a Zheng He treasure ship from memory, as the largest wooden ship in the history of China, this big guy with a length of more than 120 meters shocked the audience as soon as it appeared.
And not only that, Tang Ling played with the scrap of the engine of a sailing ship, and asked the village names to salvage the engines of the two sunken power warships on the bottom of the sea, and finally succeeded in installing two intermediate dual-cycle Xinghaishi power turbines that had reached level 5 on the imitation of this Zheng He treasure ship, of which the Xinghaishi came from the two powerboats.
When the two coastal defense cannons that had been carried onto the treasure ship by the frantic Tang Ling let out an earth-shattering roar, it was no wonder that the big leader of the pirate group was not angry.
"Boom, boom..." A treasure ship with six sailing ships and more than 20 ordinary warships opened fire together, and for a time the entire sea was filled with thick gunsmoke, and the ships of the pirate group were constantly hit and caught fire.
Because of Tang Ling's transformation, the treasure ship with the power system now does not need such a thing as sails, and the front and rear decks of the treasure ship are each equipped with this terrifying caliber coastal defense cannon at this time, and as for the deck the size of a football field in the middle, there are also three first-class guns unloaded from the captured sailing ship on each side.
When these eight cannons are fired at the same time, they instantly suppress the warships of the pirate group, especially the coastal defense cannons, once hit, no matter what warship of the opponent, it is a cannon to the sky, and relying on the huge size of the treasure ship, as a shield for their own small warship, blocking most of the attacks for them, so that they don't need to worry about being hit, just aim and fire.
Standing on the deck of the Guard, Tang Ling paid attention to the battle situation on the battlefield, smelling the smell of gunpowder in the gunsmoke, and his heart was not calm. Because the young adults on the island were all dispatched, and because they had the advantage at this time, they didn't need him to operate the cannon, and Tang Ling was happy to be a bystander, as if he was in the game with God's perspective, although he was immersive, he looked like an outsider.
