Chapter 18 Ship Design Skills

Defeated, due to a tactical mistake, the Divine Light Fleet was exchanged for a three-masted battleship by Gangzi with the Black Pearl, making the Divine Light Fleet lose a certain advantage it originally had.

In the face of the onslaught of the "Flying Henanese" and "Laizhou", the battleships of the Divine Light fleet were sunk one after another, and Hugh Hobert had to accept another defeat.

In the end, the Sky Fleet won the finals of the "King of Sailing" team competition.

This is one of the most valuable championships in many competitions in the rise of the country, especially today, which attaches great importance to sea power, and has the protection of a strong fleet, so that players in their country can run business on the sea with peace of mind. For a while, on the ocean, all the players and merchants who hung the dragon flag of the Great Han fired their cannons on the sea, "Our Great Han has the most powerful fleet in the game, we have the strongest commander in naval battles, and we have the most powerful warships on the sea, cheer for Gangzi!" Cheers to the Angry Sea, Sugar Candy, Li Youtai, Long Xiang, and Fat Sheep King! The Sky Fleet is mighty! The Great Han Navy is mighty! ”

The victory of the Sky Fleet brought the emotions of the Great Han Voyagers to a peak, and they all set sail for further afield. The previous cautious psychology due to the existence of the anti-hegemonic alliance no longer exists, and the coastal and Nanyang of Dahan can no longer carry the rising enthusiasm of the players.

"The Great Han with the strongest fleet in the world should not be trapped in the offshore seas, we want to sail our merchant ships to Europe and the Americas, but there is a very unfriendly organization around us!"

Although the Continental Alliance and the Anti-Hegemonic Alliance have reached a peace agreement, the attitude of these two organizations is still hostile, and they are both intentionally or unintentionally trying to make some trouble for each other's merchant players. Especially for Han players, all the seas that go out of the ocean are surrounded by players who oppose the alliance, and the merchant ships of players with dragon flags are more likely to be attacked by pirates, as for who these "pirates" are, it is naturally self-evident.

This time, the Sky Fleet and its members won the championship of the team competition and the individual competition of the "King of Navigation" competition, which made the self-confidence of Dahan sailors expand unprecedentedly. Patience with the anti-hegemonic blockade has also reached a critical point.

In the Second East Asian War, the Han Navy will have an incomparably solid mass base.

The big battle is still brewing, but Gangzi is impatient to open the "King of Sailing" team championship package.

Gold coins: Ignore it, my brother's various businesses are booming, and the money has been earned against the sky, this kind of dry reward can no longer make my brother mention a little interest.

A drawing of a three-masted battleship: This is dry goods, hurry up and make it, brother's Jimo fleet finally does not need to be supported by the "Flying Henan", and the most important thing is Zhao Zheng, the captain of the "Flying Henan" temporarily appointed by brother. There are more and more signs of getting closer to Liang Hong, in order not to repeat the tragedy of the "Taishan", or hurry to give Zhao Zheng a three-masted battleship and tell him to get out of the "flying Henan people".

A "King of Sailing" champion medal, worn on the chest can increase strength 10, toughness 10, physical strength 10, agility 10, the four dimensions of the overall increase of good things, hurry up and wear it.

Treasure class large sail side: propulsion plus 15, there is a sail with additional propulsion! This would be an addition to the propulsion created by the hull structure, if the Black Pearl had been on this sail. That speed will be ...... It can be used as a transportation boat for transporting urgent items. The distance between Blacksail Island and Anne Town (which has been upgraded to a town) is so far that the Black Pearl can use its speed to transport things between the two that are relatively hurried and inconvenient for individuals to carry.

Using a legendary-class battleship to transport things, Brother's idea is too creative.

The last reward is in all the advanced skill books. Choose any one, Gangzi did not hesitate to choose senior leadership.

It is a very long process from intermediate to advanced, especially the scarcity of advanced skill books, which makes it very rare for players with advanced skills in the game. Gangzi has been in the game for so long, and the captain's three basic skills are only intermediate, and the proficiency is only full of leadership skills.

The cultivation of leadership skills can be "inspired" with the captain's skills. At this time, when Gangzi was worried about how to obtain senior leadership skills, an opportunity to choose a high-level skill book at random was placed in front of him. With the senior leadership technique, the speed of brother's cannon opening will be increased by another level, fortunately, there is already a three-masted battleship, otherwise with the storage of two-masted battleships, the ammunition is simply not enough for brother to squander.

All the rewards were accepted, which was a little disappointed that Gangzi was looking forward to the artifact, but think about the "King of Navigation" competition once a year, if a batch of artifacts is released every year, this game is estimated to be no one to play soon. It's a bit sweet to call the champion, so that ordinary players will not be unbalanced in their hearts, so that the game can continue to be popular.

After dealing with many things in the "One Piece" competition, Gangzi teleported to the Jimo Library and locked himself in an exclusive design room. Now the speed-enhanced dhows are selling out, and the brigs are also sold out. Gangzi now has a lot of spare money in his hands, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't spend a little.

What spends money fast?

As for the ship design skills, the brig is much more complex than the dhow, and the success rate of drawing will also decrease a lot. What's more, what Gangzi prepared was a drawing of a military fortune ship, which involved the layout of a watertight warehouse, and the structure was more difficult to master than that of an ordinary brig, and the drawing rate would drop a lot.

Moreover, Gangzi is ready to successfully produce a drawing of a military fortune ship and manufacture it in Jimo Shipyard, and then issue a transformation drawing to transform the military fortune ship, and improve it step by step until the military fortune ship is turned into a warship. Among them, the gold coins involved in drawings, construction, and transformation are incalculable, and Gangzi looked at the long intermediate-level promotion experience bar, and prayed silently, hoping that his brother's money could hold up.

Gangzi locked himself in Jimo Harbor and began his journey to scatter money, and the waves in the western Pacific Ocean were surging.

A merchant fleet of Han players encountered pirates again near Malacca, and this Han player posted the entire robbery process to the Han forum, "Now in the South Seas, it has become a norm for Han players to be attacked by pirates, all the pirates are speed-enhanced sloops, NPC pirates cannot have such warships, these pirates are all players in the South Seas, they are all members of the Anti-Alliance, they are sabotaging the peace agreement signed by our Continental Alliance with them, in addition, I want to ask, Why did the Jiuzhuo Merchant sell to the Pirate Speed Enhanced Dhow? ”

Qian Duoduo, the chairman of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, issued a public statement: "I hope that the major organizations in the South Seas can effectively stop your local players from using speed enhanced dhow warships to carry out uncivilized behavior at sea, and we Jiuzhuo Business Group reserve the right to terminate the sale of speed enhanced dhow warships to any Nanyang player." In order to express my apologies to those players who were robbed by speed-enhanced dhows, the Jiuzhuo Fleet under the jurisdiction of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group will undertake the external escort business, and the combat effectiveness of our Jiuzhuo Fleet is tested in actual combat, you only need to bear a little escort fee to carry out maritime trade safely. ”

Gangzi also made a statement at this time; "The Jiuzhuo fleet is subordinate to the Jimo Navy, as one of the shareholders of the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group, any merchant ship that dares to attack the escort of the Jiuzhuo Fleet will not be able to get along with my Jimo fleet, in addition, please also take care of the White Shark Fleet and the Archangel Fleet close to the South Seas to our Han players who run merchants in the South Seas."

The White Shark Legion's Leader, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the Archangel Legion's Leader, Mu You, responded: "From now on, our two fleets will send warships to carry out regular escorts in the South Seas, and any Han player who encounters pirates in the South Seas can call for help on the regional channel, and we guarantee to arrive at the fastest time, in order to cover the entire South Seas with our escort net, we will order 200 speed-enhanced sloops from the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group." ”

The big Han maritime merchant players, who were plagued by pirates, applauded unanimously.

With a large number of speed-enhanced dhows rushing to various seas in the South Seas, the attacks on the merchant ships of Han players in the South Seas have been greatly curtailed.

And the Anti-Hegemonic Alliance also became somewhat alert to the sudden change in the defense policy of the Great Han Player Fleet, and a large number of eyes began to closely watch the movements of the White Shark Fleet and the Archangel Fleet.

Except for a public statement about the escort of the Jiuzhuo fleet, Gangzi has been staying in his design room.

Through the transformation of the wave-resistant nature of the mastery of Gangzi, the speed of the two-masted hard-sail strengthened military ship has reached the standard of ordinary two-masted warships. The two masts saved a lot of hull space over the previous three and could be equipped with 20 gun emplacements.

However, the unique watertight compartment design of the Fuchuan reduces the ribs of the hull, and the hull deck cannot withstand the recoil brought by the firing of the iron smoothbore gun, and when equipped with the iron smoothbore gun, the firepower is obviously weakened too much, which does not conform to the current mainstream two-masted battleship gun configuration.

How to enhance the pressure-bearing capacity of the hull is a subject that Gangzi needs to overcome, and if this problem can be solved, then a new kind of warship will take shape in his hands.

In this regard, Sir Gardner gave his own advice: "The first is to replace the ribs used in the hull with special materials; The second is to find a way to reduce the recoil of the gun, in the past, the British ship designers divided the deck into two layers and added cotton in the middle, which certainly solved the problem of ribs, but the deck became fragile. To be honest, I think it is a feasible way to replace the rib material, but then the cost is much higher than that of a normal brig. ”

Sir Gardner didn't have a good way either, it was a real headache, it would be nice if there was a spring or a retract technique. But this is a game after all, Huacai has invested so much in her air force, and she hasn't even researched a hot air balloon?

Just when Gangzi had a headache, Bucknar came to the door, and the elves were uncomfortable on Black Sail Island to see if Gangzi could arrange a mission to go to sea.

Genie! (To be continued......)
