Chapter Ninety-Two: Sir Gardner
Chapter Ninety-Two: Sir Gardner
The territory of the Dushan Army was recovered, and the battle of the Han against Vietnam was nearing its end. The Fury Sea Clash re-entered the negotiating room to take over peace talks with the Fuso fleet, and at the urging of the players of various countries, an armistice was quickly drawn up and implemented. At the moment when the leaders simultaneously announced the armistice on the world channel, the seas of East Asia burst into cheers, thousands of ships competed, and the deserted sea was filled with all kinds of ships again.
Negotiations between Vietnam's Quang Trang Legion and the Han Archangel Legion have also been concluded, and the two sides will cooperate to stop fighting between the two countries, and after the armistice between the two countries, the Quang Trang Legion will join the continental alliance with the Han as its territory. Vietnam will also be divided into two parts, with the North being led by Quang Chuan and belonging to the Alliance; In the south, led by the Dushan Army, which had suffered a great loss of power, it belonged to the anti-alliance.
The fighting outside Vietnam has not stopped, and the civil war has quietly begun.
The Continental Alliance was proposed by the major armies of the Han Dynasty in response to the anti-hegemony alliance, and Goryeo players were the first to respond. Youzhou's deterrence on land made Goryeo join the anti-alliance idea is completely a flash in the pan, and joining the continental alliance has become an inevitable trend. At the same time, the Fusang players that the Great Han fought with the Northern Fleet alone were disgraced, and the flagships were sunk, showing that the strength of the Great Han at sea was not as weak as imagined.
The main battlefield of the East Asian naval battle is on Jeju Island in Goryeo, and this glorious battle happened around them to make Goryeo players very proud, and even Lee Yoo-tae, who was not too famous in Goryeo, was instantly enshrined as the god of war of Goryeo players. how Li Youtai sat in Xingchen Town and commanded the battle against the Fuso fleet; How did Li Youtai lead the fleet to charge to the death and wound the Fuso flagship "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" at the most critical time, interrupting the attack of the Fuso fleet; How did Lee Yo-tae ambush Kondo Mijin on his way back, and annihilated the main force of the Fuso fleet with fourteen ships against three hundred.
Completely ignoring how one person can be in three places at the same time, and still play such a strange record in the end.
Goryeo players are caught up in their own YY movement, and some producers are even preparing to shoot a large-scale TV series based on the story of Lee Yo-tae, according to relevant sources. The minimum number of episodes is 300 episodes.
Alas...... Cute sticks.
After Gangzi ended the Jeju Island peace talks and signed up for the "King of Navigation" competition with Tang Yao, he teleported back to Plymouth.
The converted ship is already moored at the dock of the Plymouth shipyard.
After the overhaul, the Taishan has undergone great changes, and the designers of the renovation have obviously absorbed the design concept of the Mi Guo flying scissor sailboat, compressing the bow and stern buildings to reduce the wind resistance for advancement; The three main masts are lengthened, and five sails can be supported on each mast, which greatly increases the force area against the wind and increases the speed of the ship; Increase the number of bow and stern spinnakers to improve the agility of the ship; The four bow guns were removed, and the bow cross-section was narrowed. The "U" shape has been changed to a "V" shape, which again reduces the resistance of the seawater.
When the new Taishan was driven to the dock, Liang Hong had already been waiting impatiently for the side of the Taishan. As soon as Gangzi appeared, he immediately asked to board the ship for sea trials.
After getting permission, Liang Hong immediately drove the crew of the Taishan to the ship like sheep, and did not care about the shortened captain's room, and directed the crew to raise the sails on one side, and left the dock under the tugboat towed by the sea breeze. Arriving at the open sea, the sails of the Tarzan were blown by the wind. With incredible acceleration, a sail battleship is transformed with the blessing of Liang Hong, as if it is equipped with a motor.
Well...... This Liang Hongsao bag obviously used the captain's skills to "ride the wind and waves". The "flying" Tarzan soon disappeared above the sea.
Then there was the Sea Monster, the Dolphin......
The famous products are indeed extraordinary, almost magnifying a certain attribute of the ship without reducing the performance of the hull. Looking at the battleships with their own unique appearances, Gangzi instantly felt that the pain of being slaughtered was relieved a lot.
One by one, the excited captain of the black sail stepped on his battleship and rode the waves. Only Gangzi was left standing on the dock.
Seems like something is missing?
β¦β¦
"Flying Henan People", why don't you see my brother's baby on the ship, isn't it swallowed by Plymouth Shipyard!
Good thing Brant. Lieutenant Haag explained to Gangzi in time to stop Gangzi's imminent rampage.
"Our Chief Engineer Conchita. Sir Gardner has a little suggestion for the revamp of your Flying Henanese. We would like to invite you to discuss with us. β
Gangzi then put his mind at ease and followed Brandt. Haag walked out of Plymouth Shipbuilding and through the city of Plymouth to a manor on the outskirts of Plymouth.
Conchita. Sir Gardner. Chief Designer of the Plymouth Shipyard and able to serve as Chief of the UK's most important shipyards. Sir Gardner is definitely the supreme authority on the shipbuilding industry in Rise of Nations. Of course, with his status, there is no need to be on duty at the shipyard, so Brandt. Haag brought Gangzi to the Sir Manor.
Passing through the garden of the vestibule, in the study of the three-story white building, Gangzi met the Kangchita with a mustache, one-sided eyes, and a curly wig on his head. Sir Gardner.
Sir Gardner was very happy to see Gangzi, and he warmly invited Gangzi to sit down, and asked the attendant to bring Gangzi a cup of coffee. Gangzi also took the opportunity to take a look at Sizz's study.
The most conspicuous thing is the seven rows of huge bookcases that are three meters high and about seven meters long, which are full of books without a single gap, and an apprentice is standing on a ladder to return the stack of books in his hand to their original places. There is also a large vertical locker, which is either a drawing or a model, and it is also very neatly placed. In the middle of the room is a large drawing table, next to the toolbox is messy with various types of surveying and drawing tools, on the table is a flat drawing with dense lines, from the outline should be a three-masted battleship.
Sir Gardner did not disturb the young man's observation of his studio, and it was a pleasure to have someone to appreciate the work of his life.
When Gangzi's gaze fell on him again, Sir Gardner spoke, "Welcome to Lawrence Manor, when I first saw the Flying Henan, I was eager to see his captain, but when I saw you standing before me, I was very surprised by your youth. β
The three people Gangzi is most afraid of in this life are: kindergarten aunt, class teacher and professor tutor, how Sir Gardner's temperament looks like a third person, a Gangzi who is not afraid of heaven and earth in the face of the kind Sir Gardner actually became cramped: "Hello Sir Sir, the collection of books in your study is really vast, and I am like an ignorant child under it." I heard Lieutenant Haag say that you summoned me because of the 'Flying Henan', I wonder if there is anything I can do for you? β
Sir Gardner's humility was very fond of Gangzi's, and he said: "It's indeed because of" Flying Henan People ", to be honest, the transformation of an ordinary fourth-class warship does not need me to do it, the senior designer of the shipyard is enough to complete the transformation of this level of warship, but the "Flying Henan People" is very special, this battleship should be a very ordinary mass-produced fourth-class warship at the beginning of construction, without adding any transformation design and special materials, I really don't understand why such an ordinary warship will produce a ship spirit?" So I was desperate to find out what special things had happened to this battleship that had made such a huge difference. β
Can you say this? Of course not, could it be told that the "Flying Henan People" used to be an undead ship that had been stranded in the other world for hundreds of years! Now the power of the church is still very big in Europe, and I don't want to see the "Flying Henan People" braving the fire one day, and there is a group of fanatics dancing next to it.
Gangzi replied with an expression of curiosity: "This battleship was obtained by chance when I was exploring in the Pacific, there was no one on board at that time, and there was nothing to record the origin of this battleship, as for why this battleship can produce ship spirits, there is no clue, Your Excellency is an authority in the ship industry, can you see something from the 'Flying Henan People'." β
Gang Tzu's answer did not surprise Sir Gardner, who did not think he could get any news from him when he first met Gang Tzu at such a young age. With such a short sailing experience and such a naΓ―ve request for transformation, it is obvious that he is a rookie in navigation, and it can only be regarded as luck to get a three-masted battleship.
Unable to get the news he wanted, Sir Gardner turned the conversation to the transformation of the Flying Henanese: "It seems that the mystery has been drowned beneath the Pacific Ocean, and bless the former captain of the Flying Henanese and his crew." Captain Gangzi, I see that your renovation request is to add artillery to the 'Flying Henan'? β
Sir Gardner no longer asked about the ship's spirit, which made Gangzi secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and when he heard the question of the transformation of the "Flying Henan", he immediately became excited: "Yes, sir, I want to add artillery to the "Flying Henanese", my skills are all inclined to the output of firepower, the more guns, the better, you are the chief designer of the Plymouth shipbuilding, it should not be a problem to install thirty or forty more guns." β
Sir Gardner seemed to see what he looked like when he was young, stunned and ignorant, he took a sip of coffee and explained: "Ship transformation is not magic, now the production of ships are very mature design, the various indicators of the ship are balanced, if you want to strengthen, one is to use special materials, such as the side bulwarks are reinforced with rosewood, then the defense power can be comparable to steel, but special materials are extremely expensive and cannot be used for mass production; The second is to reduce the performance of other hulls to enhance some of the performance of the boat. β
Gangzi asked, "But I see that the ships we are reinforcing at the Plymouth shipyard have not significantly weakened their performance. (To be continued......)
