Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Three-Mared Elven Treant Battleship



Casey argued: "I don't care about my own life, what do you have to stop, give me the 'Tarzan', if I fail, this battleship will be buried for me, but if I succeed, our Black Sail Atlantic Fleet will be extremely powerful, and the pirates of the entire Atlantic will surrender under our prestige." ”

"No!" Liang Hong replied resolutely, "You and the 'Taishan' are the property of Lord Gangzi, if you plan to do something dangerous, you need to ask for the advice of the adults, if Lord Gangzi agrees to take your risk, it doesn't matter if the entire Black Sail Atlantic Fleet will give you a funeral; ”

Liang Hong sent Casey under house arrest to prevent her from sneaking out to do something unwise, while he walked out of the Anne County passage and into the cave. At this time, a large number of speed-reinforced dhow battleships waiting to be delivered were parked on the water in the cave, and the Black Sail Atlantic Fleet ship group was resting.

Next to him was the wreck of the "Queen Anne's Revenge", "What a cursed battleship!" ”

The two worlds cannot communicate, and Gangzi does not yet know that the dispute is taking place in Anne County. He was in the Elven Shipyard at this time, watching the ten shipbuilding positions begin to lay the keel.

Nine of the ships were built in the final form of the Brig Elven Treant. Once they are built, they will form a new Elven naval fleet with Christol's Eye of the Storm, and will lead the sloops on defensive patrols of the Elven Seas, protecting ships in the Elven Coastal Sea from pirates.

The original sloop elf galleys were temporarily retained by Gangzi, the dhow-class sailboats could not bear the weight of the entire firepower system of the young tree people, and the smaller seedling tree planters could not provide the sloop class sailing ship with better attack power than the elves, so Gangzi did not design a new sloop elf battleship, but strengthened the defense on the original basis, and formed the sloop group of the elf naval fleet.

On another shipbuilding slot in the Elven Shipyard is a larger shipbuilding frame. This is the three-masted elven treeman battleship No. 1 test ship designed by Gangzi. The primitive natural environment of the jade world made it easy for the elves to find a fifty-meter-high paulownia tree that became the keel of this elven capital ship. The cut-and-polished keel was laid on the dry dock on the shore, and the elven boatmen began to build the whole thing.

The abundant wood resources in the elven forest are called by the elven boatmen to take them as they need, and some of the extremely precious shipbuilding materials on the main map are firewood for ordinary cooking here, and under the cultivation of the elven natural power, the shipbuilding can grow as much as it is cut, and there is no need to worry about the depletion of cherished wood.

Ten warships were built, and the Tree People were very interested in this kind of boat that could allow them to experience fast running, and the Tree People who were not on duty were either receiving marine simulated shelling training at Unicorn Lake, or running to the shipyard to help carry shipbuilding materials. With the assistance of these Hercules. Elven warships can be built more efficiently.

In the Elven Naval Headquarters, Gangzi gathered Bucknar, Nastrom, and a group of elven captains together, and behind him was a chart of the elven navigators' previous voyages and explorations.

The topography of the Elven Sea is the most detailed part of it, and the more the other months go, the less things are known, and finally there is a large blank area. To the north of the Elven Sea is the Orc Sea, where known orc coastal cities are also marked, and one of the large circles is the Orc King's City Bone Land.

Gangzi tapped the map with his command whip and said to the elven captains who were sitting in two opposite rows in front of him: "The two-masted elven treeman battleship has been finalized, and various hull performance attributes have also been sorted out. Although the ships needed by the fleet are still under construction, our personnel cannot wait for the ships to be in place before training. There is intelligence to show that. The fourth fleet of orcs has already reached a scale, and time is very urgent for us, so I ask the captains, crews, and treemen throwers of the selected two-masted elven treemen battleships to immediately conduct simulated training, and march and fight on a single ship; marching and fighting in formation; Fleet tactics, communications, first aid, and all other training subjects must be carried out as soon as possible. Bucknar and Nastrom, the two of you, are in charge of training the Brig Treant Battleship. ”

"Yes!"

The two elves' answers were short and forceful, and Bucknar's militarized training of the elven navy had been fruitful.

Gangzi nodded and continued: "With the entry of the two-masted elven treeman battleship and the possible equipment of the three-masted elven treeman battleship, the elven navy's means of attack are about to change from bow and arrow shooting to long-range throwing of cannonballs, and the sloop elf paddle sailing ship no longer has the ability to attack with the capital ship group. Their duties will also shift from offensive to auxiliary, using their agility and speed to detect and harass enemy fleets, and Christol will be in charge of the transformation of the function of the dhow galleys. I hope that the sloop group will be able to adapt to its new position as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Christol, who has been with the Navy for a long time, has a particularly capable style of a soldier when he is serious.

"The next naval battle will be the final decisive battle between us and the orcs on the sea, and the gap in combat concept, the difference in the performance of the battleship, and the gap in the quality of the captain will make the orc fleet suffer the consequences of defeat again. This time, our elven navy will not wait for the fifth attack of the orc fleet, after the annihilation of the orc fleet, the elven navy will blockade all the coastal cities of the orcs, destroy everything they can float on the sea, and prepare for our landing force, and the landing training will be in charge of Baknar part-time. ”

At this time, Nastrom asked, "Lord Admiral is planning to land on orc territory?" But our army is not strong enough to take their city, and while I have no doubt that we will be able to defeat the orc fleet, the orcs are still stronger on land than we are. ”

Gangzi explained: "We don't need to occupy their cities, our army is only responsible for destroying, the coastal cities of the orcs are their richest place, we will rob them and burn them, and drive the forces of the orcs inland, so that the orc kingdom will never have any threat to us at sea, from now on the entire Emerald Ocean will be our elf's, the elven kingdom will rely on the ocean to become stronger, and the orcs will not be able to attack the elven forest with all their strength under the threat of our navy in the rear." Losing the treasure house of the ocean, the strength of the orc kingdom will soon be surpassed by the elves, and the gap will continue to be opened by the elf kingdom, what will happen in the future is unpredictable, but the rise of the elves has been unstoppable. ”

When Gangzi finished this meeting that was of great significance to the elves and the emerald world, the elven navy began the simulation training of the elven treant battleship after completing a year of basic training.

Leave all the training of the elf navy to the elves themselves, and Gangzi continues his ship design studies. The time of the Emerald World is 24 times that of the main world, and it is really a carbon send-off for Gangzi, who is in urgent need of time, and as the level of the battleship increases, the things that need to be mastered to design the ship are like a vast sea of clouds. In particular, the Daifuku ship is already the highest level of hard-sail merchant ships in the Han Dynasty, and there is no physical reference at the next level, and although all hull designs are not from scratch, they are definitely much more difficult.

Now Gangzi has the drawings of the big fortune ship and the giant fortune ship in his hands, and it stands to reason that the deduction to the middle has saved Gangzi a lot of time and energy, but he can't put down the pen in the face of the blank drawings, "Alas...... Or the basic knowledge is too lacking, a series of adventures in ship design called my brother smooth sailing, and now the design of a brand new ship is really a gun. Brother didn't know where to start. ”

Gangzi's mind was blank, he didn't even have the preliminary idea of the new hull and the basic data to be achieved, and finally had no choice but to give up the design of the new hull and enter the re-study of the ship design.

The cosy environment and monotonous life of the elven city. Let Gangzi get rid of the worldly glitz for a while, and devote himself to a new round of struggle in the sea of books.

Kristol has gone from being a retinue to a captain of a battleship, and he is already busy training the sailors of the Eye of the Storm and teaching the tactics of the Sloop Elf galleys. After the Brig Elven Treant Battleship was launched one after another, his figure would not be visible even more.

Gangzi is used to staying at home, and once he is at home, he is reluctant to go out. Looking at Gangzi, who was living a sloppy life, Elizabeth automatically took over the care of Gangzi's life.

Cleaning, delivering food, and buying everything Gangzi needs, Elizabeth basically stayed with Gangzi after finishing her work with the Magic Association, and gradually she began to learn about ship design when she helped Gangzi sort out various manuscripts and books.

"Why can such a small rudder control such a heavy rudder, and they are one on the upper level of the boat and one at the bottom of the boat?" Finally, Elizabeth couldn't help but ask about a device that surprised her and couldn't understand it.

"This is the use of pulleys and levers to transmit and amplify the force, said simple but the hull structure is limited, the actual operation is much more difficult, not only to build a power transmission device from top to bottom in a narrow space, but also to ensure that the device is simple and effective and not easy to fail, if you are interested, you can first look at the basic structure of the dhow rudder." Gangzi casually pulled out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Elizabeth, these books were collected and brought by Bucknar, and Gangzi borrowed his authority to call them.

"Really?" Elizabeth is very fascinated by those lines, especially every stroke of Gangzi is drawn after repeated deduction and calculation, as if these lines have infinite power, in the magic association, the elven mages of the so-called magic array research is basically from scratch and then step still, but Gangzi's lines make Elizabeth feel that she has really found the right direction.

"Of course, if you just want to understand, this book is enough to answer your curiosity, if you want to learn, you need to start from the basics," Gangzi rummaged through the bookshelf and took out two books, one is "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and the other is "Geometric Originals", "These two books are what every ship designer needs to master, which one are you going to read?" ”

"I'll read them all," Elizabeth snatched all three books from her fear, and sat down at the window to read them.

It turns out that "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Geometric Originals" are very esoteric things for Elizabeth, and after getting acquainted with Gangzi, Elizabeth becomes no longer restrained, and whenever Gangzi rests, she has to run up to ask some very funny questions that Gangzi feels.

Faced with an elf mm who was full of curiosity and blinked his eyes to sell cuteness, Gangzi could only follow and review the primary school curriculum.

Time passed in such a hurry, and all the brig elven treemen battleships were launched and handed over to the elven navy, and under the command of Bucknar and Nastrom, the elven fleet had already conducted many actual combat exercises at sea. The two-masted elven treeman battleship has an all-round 360-degree angle of attack, and its combat effectiveness is extremely ferocious, measured by the Dahan fifth-class battleship. Ten Brigs of Elven Treant Battleships could completely confront twenty Han Tier 5 warships and annihilate them by moving around.

After determining that the two-masted elven treemen battleship had actual combat capability, the elven navy began to advance the front in the direction of the orc sea, and a large number of trained elf row-oared galleons were released to the north to conduct a close reconnaissance of the situation along the coast of the orcs. After a few fruitless pursuits, he buried his head and left them alone, "A small ship is not worth using a large group of ships to round up, and when our orc's huge warship sails towards the Elven King City." No matter how fast your elven ships are, they will stop and fight us. ”

While the reconnaissance of the sloop elf galleys continued to enrich the charts of the Elven Naval Command Center, the three-masted Elven Treant battleship of the Elven Shipyard was launched.

Like the two-masted elven treeman battleship, Gangzi also opened the bridge on the three-masted hull and extended a rear deck backwards, and placed a turret on it, and the front turret was also in the bow position, and when the final preparation was finalized, Gangzi found that the hull still had some space available, so he opened another turret between the foremast and the middle mast, so the last three-masted elven treeman battleship had three turrets.

The three-masted elven treemen battleship is huge. The turret is also deep and wide, and can fully accommodate the entry of adult treants. Gangzi equipped the adult Treant with two types of shells, 12-pounder and 22-pounder, the 12-pounder cannonball was used for rapid throwing for fire coverage, mainly against enemy ships at a distance. At this time, it is the probability of fighting, and the probability of throwing more is naturally greater; The 22-pounder is a heavy cannon, and adult treants will feel a certain burden when throwing, and this cannonball has a short-range precision attack. Quickly sink approaching enemy ships to prevent them from approaching the side for hand-to-hand combat.

In the first phase of the test of the three-masted elven treant battleship No. 1, Gangzi continued to volunteer to be the captain, but when he boarded the battleship and looked at the three strange adult tree planters above. Suspiciously, he asked Elizabeth, who replaced Christol, "Joey and Mark, their results in the Unicorn Lake training camp are very good, especially Mark, I really underestimated him before, he should not lose to Christol." ”

Today is the Navy battleship test, Elizabeth took off the elf dress she usually wears and changed into the elf navy uniform, this set of elf military uniforms born from the Lingxiao naval uniform, inheriting the fashion elements added by the Lingxiao military uniform, cut close to the body to amplify the strength of men and the feminine characteristics of women. Elizabeth, the captain of such a military uniform, lined her slender lines, and her long dark green hair shawl under the big brimmed hat showed a quiet charm, and no matter how troubled the mood was, as long as she turned her head to look at it, she immediately felt relaxed and happy, and all the chaotic emotions were swept away, and she really carried a long-term state of tranquility.

Elizabeth, who had been trained by Christol, immediately replied in the face of Gangzi's questioning, "Treant Joey Joyce and Mark Brook do not meet the standards required for the three-masted elven treeman battleship, so they are not qualified to board the ship. ”

"How is it possible, the two of us have seen Joey and Mark's throwing training, and they are definitely the two most powerful in the Treant Clan, and it is estimated that most of the elves are inferior to them in terms of accuracy."

"Joey and Mark's training is really good, it's just ......"

"What's wrong? Is it sick? ”

"It's more serious than the disease, they have evolved into the ancient species, and their body size is too big to fit into the turret of the three-masted elven treeman battleship, they have been crying under the World Tree for three days, please turn them back into the World Tree."

"Ah......" said Gangzi, "why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

Gangzi's tone was a little heavier, Elizabeth pursed her mouth, and tears were about to flow: "Didn't you say that except for the launch of the three-masted elven tree man battleship, other things should not disturb you?" ”

Ah...... This girl's tears are flowing too fast.

"Okay, okay, I didn't explain it clearly this time, in addition, as an acolyte, you should have your own ability to analyze things, not everything is qualified according to my orders, Joey and Mark are my friends, I should know anything wrong with them, not only them, Kyle, Bob, Uncle Bucknell, Christol and you are my most important friends and partners, I hope to help you share it when you are in trouble. Remember not to stay in the position of squire officer for the rest of your life, but to learn to be a captain, a commander, like Christol. ”

"Got it, sir!" Elizabeth nodded with tears rolling down her eyes.

"I hope the sea will make you stronger," Tsuyoko said, and walked off the bridge, "Let's go find Joey and Mark, and since the three-masted elven treemen can't handle their bodies, I'll give them a bigger one." (To be continued.) )
