Chapter 321: New Ship Sea Trials

Hurry up, hurry up! Your Excellency the President is coming! Whesfa commanded the dwarves and halflings at one of the island's docks, and they were busy with a rather peculiar ship, one that did not have a mast and sails like the other scum ships on the side. The volume is also much larger, and on both sides of the ship, there is also a large wheel pulp.

This is what Little Hesfa and the halfling patriarch Dominic and others conceived according to Jian Chen. It took a long time, and after six failures, to finally complete the seventh test ship ready to be launched.

The surrounding fishermen were pointing at the boat and laughing, and in the eyes of these people, this was a strange boat that only laymen would make. The first few failures have made them have seen enough jokes.

Many of their ridiculous remarks reached the ears of Little Hesfa with the sea breeze, but Little Hesfa was not impressed, he firmly believed that he would succeed this time, the defects found in the previous failures had been thoroughly modified, and the mechanism performed quite well during the trial operation before it was installed on the ship.

Dominic carefully inspected all the parts in the cabin. The four iron men were divided into two groups and operated the pulp on each side of the boat, and as soon as they pressed the pedals on the seat, the pulp on the outside would turn. Thus driving the ship forward.

After a careful look, I found no problems. Dominic nodded with satisfaction, touched all of them with great care, and then walked out of the cabin with a smile.

Little Hesfa, it's okay outside, right? He stepped over to the deck and asked aloud to the dwarf who was on the docks checking the outer wheel slurry.

"No problem! Little Hersfa also replied loudly, full of confidence, "There will be absolutely no problem this time"

The two were talking, but they saw Christine and Sylvia coming to the dock together. Since several failures in a row. A group of alliance generals who were originally full of interest from the beginning of every trial voyage came to see the excitement, but now they have become less interested, most people think that this kind of ship is unlikely to really be built, only Christine and Sylvia have been very concerned about this kind of ship because of the navy, and they must be present to watch every trial voyage.

"Hey, little Hesse! Dominica! Before they could get closer, Christine greeted the two of them loudly, this guy was a self-acquaintance. Anyone can make friends quickly.,Because of the ship, I'm very familiar with these two people.。 "It doesn't seem to have changed much, but can it really work this time?.

His words made little Hesfa and Dominic jump in anger at the same time: "Shut your crow's mouth!" This time it will definitely work."

Christine laughed: "You guys yourself are not good at it, how can you blame me for crow's mouth?" You're busy, I'll go in and take a look inside! ”

With that, he got into the boat and slipped headlong into the cabin, followed by Sylvia.

"If you dare to touch and break the machine, I will throw you into the sea." Dominic screamed nervously, then quickly followed.

After a while, Jian Chen also came with the female magician, and Bruce, the fully loyal captain of the guard, followed behind with dozens of guard soldiers, although the island can be said to be no danger at all, but Bruce has always done his duty.

"Your Excellency the President is here! Mr. Dominic! Your Excellency the President is here." Seeing Jian Chen's arrival, little Gasfar was excited, and while shouting into the cabin, he greeted a group of dwarves and halflings who had finished the final inspection.

Little Hesfa, I have a hunch that you will surprise me this time! Chen Jian laughed and beckoned to everyone. There is no presidential shelf at all, "Let's get started, I can't wait".

"As you wish, my President!" At this time, Dominic also came out, got off the boat and trotted in front of Chen Jian, "Your Excellency, just wait and see, when the boat starts." I promise that all those who have underestimated us in the past will jump into the sea in shame."

As he spoke, the halfling patriarch waved his fist at Christine, who appeared on the deck.

Seeing this, Jian Chen just laughed, and then raised his feet and wanted to get on the boat, but the female magician hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Brush it up, it's the same as the previous time." The ship sank and scared us all half to death."

Chen Jian withdrew his hand lightly and chuckled: "I can swim, what are you afraid of?" Let's come along. If the ship sinks, I'll save you."

The two of them went to the deck one after the other, and a temporary crew member also got on board, Vilesia volunteered to take the helm, but the captain was in charge, Dominic got out of the cabin and gave orders to the iron man, and Christine ran to the side of the ship to observe the operation of the pulp. Bruce and the others were left on the dock by Chen Jian to wait.

After receiving Jian Chen's signal, Xiao Hesfa shouted very majestically: "Anchor!" ”

The two dwarves responded in unison and began to wring a roulette wheel on the deck. rise

Finish.

Then little Hasfa yelled at a trumpet-shaped brass pipe, "Set sail!" Speed, one section! ”

His voice was heard in the cabin. Dominic, who was at the other end of the brass pipe, immediately commanded the iron man to start moving.

In the design, the speed of the ship is divided into five sections, one is the slowest, five is the fastest, and can be adjusted by mechanical devices, so as not to make mistakes in coordination due to the iron man who cannot distinguish such a detailed command, and the iron man only needs to pedal as hard as he can

Compare. %, ten thousand

As the iron man began to press the pedals hard, the pulp on both sides of the ship began to operate, and the non-wind-powered ship, which appeared for the first time on the continent of Erathia, slowly moved forward.

Two ordinary fishing boats followed closely behind the test boat, which was a rescue boat for the rescue operation in case of an emergency.

ten thousand

Dominic nervously watched the operation of the mechanical devices in the cabin, and his ears were erect, trying to distinguish whether there was an abnormal sound, and then shouted into the brass with joy, "Everything is normal, apply for a second speed trial!" ”

"Speed, two sections! Little Horst was also excited.

Hear the captain's command. Dominic hurriedly ordered the iron man to stop, and then pulled a lever in his hand, which was a device to adjust the speed.

After making sure there is no problem, there is a click. Dominic got the Iron Man in action again, and the ship slowly picked up, and the deck erupted in cheers, dwarves and halflings screaming and hugging each other, and some took off their hats and threw them into the air.

The fishermen on the shore and in the distance, as well as Bruce and others who remained on the dock, were all stunned, and they watched with their mouths open as the boat, which had no sails, moved steadily on the sea, getting farther and farther away from the dock.

Several Wang Min, who were collecting the net, forgot their work because of this scene, and they remained motionless and stunned in the posture of pulling the net hard.

"It's, it's a miracle!" One. The old lizardman fell to his knees on the shore with a thud.

Bruce's big mouth was already grinning at the back of his head.

Jian Chen also shouted excitedly on the deck. The sorceress and Christine hurried into the cabin to see how the interior worked.

With the order of Little Hesfar, the speed of the ship continued to increase, and finally reached the fastest five knots, and the iron men mechanically pedaled the pedals, and the rhythm was clear, and the ship moved steadily on the sea at a speed far exceeding that of other light ships, and Sylvia was at the helm, screaming and gleeful.

The two rescue ships were already far behind them at this time, and they couldn't catch up at all.

"Little Hesfa, try to steer! Don't slow down! To the left! Chen Jian grabbed the port side in a few steps, and then shouted at the dwarf captain.

Little Horsfa answered, and then shouted into the brass: "Left full rudder!" ”

Sylvia quickly turned the rudder to the left, and in the cabin, Dominic stopped the iron man on the left, but the iron man on the right did not stop.

The reason why the wheel slurry is designed on the left and right sides of the boat. It is to make the ship more flexible with the help of wheel slurry, and in naval warfare, the flexible ship has a great advantage.

Due to the speed, the sudden turn caused the whole ship to tilt slightly to the left. However, everyone on the boat had been prepared, but no one fell.

Then the ship completed the turn at a very small angle.

This flexibility shocked Tan Min and Bruce and the others again, and then the crowd on the shore broke out into cheers.

"I love this boat to death!" Sylvia screamed as she noticed that the ship was heading against the wind, but the speed of the ship had barely slowed down, and she was fascinated by the agility she had never felt before when the net turned.

At this time, Chen Jian walked to her side, ready to experience the feeling of driving a boat in person, and gave the rudder to Chen Jian, Sylvia asked expectantly: "Your Excellency, can this device really be applied to a larger sea ship?" It's incredible! ”

Chen Jian said with a smile: "It's okay on a small boat, of course it's okay on a big ship, but it's definitely a lot more complicated in structure, and the sea ship is so big." The power required is also greater, and many sets of such devices are needed, so the failure rate will be much greater, if this problem is not solved. It's not easy to actually use it on a sea vessel! But that's up to our two genius mechanics to figure it out! ”

Saying that, Chen Jian patted Xiao Hesfa's shoulder vigorously, and if he praised him, he didn't have to spend money to make people full of energy, so Chen Jian has always been stingy in praising capable subordinates.

Hearing Jian Chen say that he was a genius mechanic of the dwarf race, Xiao Hesfa's face turned red with excitement: "Your Excellency, this is not a problem. We've tried to lubricate what you call it with the kind of oil-like mechanics that soldiers use to maintain their weapons. The results are quite good, and the failure rate has now been greatly reduced! And we have also designed several solutions based on the drawings of the sea vessel provided by Lord Sylvia. Corresponding accessories are already in production. As soon as the raw materials for shipbuilding are brought back. And Lord Sylvia helped. Let's start trying it out right away! ”

Chen Jian laughed: "The raw materials for shipbuilding are not a problem. Orison wrote yesterday, and a large number of things will be shipped tomorrow! ”

At this time, a black figure flew in the sky in the distance, which was the daily training of the flying unit with Moruor with the black dragon, the poisonous scorpion lion and the harpy.

Seeing them, Jian Chen's heart suddenly moved. A new idea popped up.
