Chapter Ninety-Four: Preparing for War

For the promotion of the "Flying Henan People", Gangzi suddenly had the most determined goal in the game. In order to achieve this goal, after more than a year away from school and living an otaku life, he threw himself back into the vast books.

Basic books such as "Introduction to Shipbuilding Mode", "Technical Basis of Sailing Navigation", "Basic Structure of Hull Structure" and so on have become Gangzi's introductory books. And Sir Gardner's disciple Wilson Jr. became Gangzi's brother and mentor.

Reading, drawing, reading, and drawing, Gangzi felt as if he had returned to the college entrance examination era that he couldn't bear to look back on. He desperately absorbs all the knowledge about the construction of sail ships, not only in the game, but also when he goes offline to eat, he also takes the time to look at the copied books.

Gangzi's abnormal behavior attracted Tang Yao's attention, and in the face of his teasing, this monkey-like brother was unmoved, staring at his handheld computer all the time. It's like a different person, what is it that is more attractive than yourself?

"Brother......" Tang Yao asked in a coquettish tone: "What kind of book are you reading, is it ...... "Bai Jie"?" ”

Who knew that Gangzi just nodded his head, mechanically picked up the rice, and replied without raising his head: "Detailed explanation of the dhow model". ”

Tang Yao was surprised: "Ah! …… You actually read a science book, it's rare that the captain is not working, and he is ready to change to become a scholar? ”

"No, I have been apprenticed in England to Sir Gardner, the chief designer of the Plymouth shipyard, and am learning ship design from him."

"Wow...... Can you also design sailboats? It's a gold-burning skill. ”

Tang Yao's word "also" finally caught Gangzi's attention, and he asked, "Are there any other players who have ship design skills?" ”

Tang Yao replied: "Of course, the acquisition of shipbuilding drawings through tasks and purchases is too random, and it is likely to cause the replenishment of warships to be untimely at a critical time, and we suffered from the lack of shipbuilding drawings in the Battle of Jeju Island, so the legion began to train its own ship designers, but the situation is not optimistic." ”

"What's going on?"

"It's expensive. 1000 gold out of a dhow shipbuilding drawings, either leaking, or crooked, ten times may not be out of a normal, input and output are not proportional at all, and the defective product to give very little skill proficiency, I don't know the year of the monkey horse month to advance to design the brig sailing drawings, it is really a bottomless pit. However, Sister Hua said that the current investment is for the benefit of the future, and the Lingxiao fleet must train a senior ship designer to reserve the ship diagram of the fleet. Therefore, every day the fleet will take out a part of the income to call this player rush skills. ”

Gangzi pursed his lips and said enviously: "The Lingxiao Army is really extravagant, 1,000 gold is a drawing, ten is 10,000 gold, and now the blueprints of the two-masted merchant ships on the market are only 10,000 gold, it's really rich!" ”

"That's no way, you can't just start a war, and the shipbuilding drawings will be in someone else's hands. However, I don't see what the player who practiced the ship wall design skills learned about the "Detailed Explanation of the Sloop Battleship Model". ”

Gangzi hehe thief smiled and said: "That's because he doesn't have a good teacher, when your designer designs the boat drawing, isn't it just a blank drawing and 1000 gold coins!" ”

"Of course. There's no place for anything else? ”

"Hehe, the key is to put the drawings, put a blank drawing, and put a hand-drawn ship design drawing, the probability of normal shipbuilding drawings is different. Moreover, the generated ship design drawings can also be oriented through hand-drawn design drawings, and if the battleship design drawings are put in, as long as the various parameters are not too much error, a battleship drawing will inevitably be produced. ”

"Wow...... The mystery of ship design turned out to be in this place. If you master the design of a dhow, wouldn't it be 100% drawn? ”

"Theoretically, yes, but all the details of the structure of the dhow must be drawn. That's too long. Sloops are not worth expending much effort, as long as there is a well-structured schematic diagram, the drawing rate can still be controlled at 50 percent, and if the ship's skills are upgraded, the drawing rate will be even higher. ”

"I see, no wonder you keep staring at the book and ignoring people."

"Brother reads books for our happy life in the future, of course, as one of the CEOs of the Jiuzhuo Business Group, a happy life has beckoned to us, but we can also improve the quality of life a little, you don't know that milk powder is very expensive now......"

Tang Yao shyly knocked Gangzi's head with chopsticks: "Look at the way you look at the book, you are quite honest, you will show your true nature after just a few words, hurry up and go online after eating, the 'King of Navigation' will start the competition in ten days, let's hurry up and practice tactics." ”

Gangzi touched the place where he had been knocked and asked with a sense of enlightenment: "Sun Monkey took three hits on the head on behalf of the third watch to find the master, does you represent the first watch this time?" What time is that? Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

"You're in charge of washing the dishes," Tang Yao pouted and went back to the room, leaving only Gangzi with a full head.

"What time is that? Oops......"

As Sir Gardner's apprentice, Gangzi was given a room of his own at Lawrence Manor. Sir Gardner was the chief designer of the Plymouth shipyards, and his residence was a British key protected object, so it was very safe for Gangzi to plant the emergency assembly flag here, as long as the door was locked, there was no need to worry about someone destroying the flag.

As soon as the scene flickered, Gangzi arrived at Donglai, and then teleported to Lingxiao County.

The "One Piece" competition can be described as a great occasion for sailing players, and the setting of ship restoration after the game allows those players who have warships in their hands and are reluctant to participate in naval battles to finally experience the excitement of naval battles. As for how far they can go in the game, with no experience in naval warfare, it is unknown.

Gangzi did not disclose to Huacai that he had a three-masted battleship, because the competition stipulated that the participating warships must be in the territorial waters of their own country, and the Black Sail Pirate Fleet was in the United Kingdom at this time, and there was no way to participate in the initial event, and Gangzi suddenly thought of something, which also made him unable to guarantee that the "Flying Henan" could reach the Dahan Sea in the later stage of the regional selection competition.

Therefore, the participating battleship prepared by Gangzi is still the Sea Whale.

So the members of the "King of Sailing" team competition sent by the Lingxiao Legion are:

Brig battleship Sea Whale, Captain Gangzi, Captain Skill: Inspiring

Brig Dingyuan, Captain Fights in the Angry Sea, Captain's Skill: Swift Aura (Increases the movement speed of surrounding friendly ships, continuously consumes stamina)

Brig Mercury, Captain Lee Yo-tae, Captain Skill: Rush Repair

Brig Peanut, Captain Candy, Captain Skill: Chain Ball

Brig Battleship Wyvern, Captain Long Xiang, Captain Skill: Fire Dragon (Close range attack skill, shoots a flame from the bow of the ship to incinerate the enemy ship, consumes stamina)

Brig Battleship Little Gray, Captain Fat Sheep King, Captain Skill: Spitfire Meteor (Increases movement speed for a short time, consumes stamina.) ）

The flagship of Ling Xiao's fleet naturally fell to the Dingyuan, which had the aura skill, and as the battle of the Angry Sea, which had commanded the Battle of Jeju Island, he quickly entered his role.

Assigned tasks: Mercury, undertaking the task of meat shield, responsible for blocking shells at critical moments; The Sea Whale, the main fireman, is responsible for the initial fire suppression, and the annihilation of the enemy in the middle and late stages; USS Peanut, controlling, waiting for an opportunity to use the "chain ball" to restrain enemy ships; Wyvern, the main attack in close combat; Little Gray, guerrilla, scout.

Each of the six captains has their own strengths, and they can be freely combined according to the opponent and the battlefield situation during the war. In fact, according to the six captains' skills, the Angry Sea Battle already has a set of most suitable tactics in mind. That is, he opened his halo to accelerate the fleet, quickly narrowing the distance with the enemy ship, the Mercury was responsible for blocking the cannonballs in front, and the Peanut controlled the enemy ship with a chain ball bomb at a medium distance, the Sea Whale bombarded, and the Wyvern stepped forward to burn the ship. If it encounters a complex sea area, replace the Wyvern with the Little Gray, which is responsible for detecting and harassing the enemy.

Simple, violent, direct, and quick to work. The tactics proposed by the Angry Sea Fight were also unanimously approved by all the contestants, and they actively participated in the training.

Plymouth, Ding Xin and Bai Si completed the testing of the "Laiyang" and "Laizhou", and confirmed the completion of the transaction after giving a very high evaluation to the Plymouth shipyard.

The addition of two firepower-enhanced three-masted warships represents that Wei Yu's ambition has taken a solid step, and the surface calm Qingzhou undercurrent is surging, a change is coming, and where will Qingzhou's future go? No one knows.

The battleship had been accepted, and there was no reason for the Black Sails Pirates to stop in Plymouth. The whole fleet sailed out of Plymouth Harbour in the size of four three-masted battleships, all the way south.

In addition to participating in fleet training, Gangzi stayed in the study of Lawrence Manor to study ship design. With Wilson Jr.'s patient teaching and Sir Gardner's guidance, Gangzi has made rapid progress in ship design, and has achieved a 100% drawing rate for small sailing ships, and 30% for dhows.

Another advantage of learning from Sir Gardner is that every time Gangzi draws a simple diagram, he does not need to spend gold coins to generate it, and Sir Gardner knows at a glance how much success rate this picture has, which is really a lot of money left for Gangzi.

For this reason, Gangzi also selected a few elven handicrafts to Sir Gardner and little Wilson, and sure enough, the handicrafts are highly sought after by the British aristocracy, especially the elves. Sir Gardner was reluctant to let go, and after praising Gangzi for being sensible, he took out his ability to press the bottom of the box and taught Gangzi several unique skills in ship design, which benefited Gangzi a lot.

Little Wilson, who was also gifted, was also extremely grateful to Gangzi, and he couldn't wait to stuff everything he had learned into Gangzi, knowing that Little Wilson was already a senior ship designer, and he was under Sir Gardner, if he was willing to serve in Donglai, he would not think about it except for the position of chief designer.

Time passed day by day, and finally ushered in the moment of the start of the "King of Sailing".

And Gangzi's fleet also sailed to the Strait of Gibraltar.

Here, the fleet was divided into two, Ding Xin and Bai Si sailed east into the Mediterranean Sea with the Donglai Navy, while the Black Sail Pirate Fleet sailed to the southwest, facing the depths of the Atlantic. (To be continued......)
