Chapter 55: Cutting the Domain

Chapter 55: Cutting the Domain

Outside the balcony window, the drizzle was drizzling, the sea in the distance was rippling, and a fishing boat was staring at the wind and clouds and sailing out to sea. The serene scenery contrasts sharply with the game's sea of gunfire.

Gangzi sat on a long bamboo chair, and the girl in her arms fell asleep quietly, the sea breeze drifting in through the window, and her hair was blowing. Feeling the rhythmic heartbeat coming from the soft body, Gangzi couldn't help the throbbing in his heart and kissed deeply on the girl's forehead, and slowly stretched out his hand.

He picked up the portable sex terminal from the small table next to him and put it on his head.

After tasting the lingering fragrance that seemed to be still in his mouth, Gangzi appeared at Jimo Shipyard.

The Daifuku ship renovation has been completed, and a hard-sailed three-masted battleship is moored at the pier outside the shipyard. The tall sails on three sides stand tall, and the bamboo supports the rigid sails of the skeleton without showing much bending, and it is believed that it will not break under the agitation of the sea breeze.

In order to disguise the fire, the sails were painted red, and the sails were embroidered with a picture of the green dragon coming out of the water. The original fat body of the Daifuku ship was narrowed, with a double deck, and each deck could be equipped with twenty guns on the side of the deck, four bow guns, with a total of 44 gun positions, and the firepower was comparable to that of a soft-sail three-masted battleship.

The watertight cabin structure under the waterline gives the hardsail three-masted battleship excellent sinking resistance, which has been verified on the Dahan V-class battleship. In the battle with the Langya fleet, even if the Jimo Dahan battleship was hit on the side, it was difficult to sink completely, as long as it could be repaired in time, the loss of a battleship could be recovered.

The three-masted battleship itself is good at defense, coupled with the structure of the watertight compartment, the hard-sail battleship really has a great advantage over the soft-sail battleship. If you have to find shortcomings, the hard-sail three-masted battleship is a modified ship, which is more expensive than the soft-sail three-masted battleship, but the ship-building speed is slower than that of the soft-sail battleship.

However, from another point of view, the hard-sail three-masted battleship is a modification of the Daifuku ship, and the Daifuku ship belongs to a merchant ship. The cost of merchant ships is lower than that of warships, and the cost of shipbuilding and renovation will not be much higher.

On the other hand, it is the construction speed of the three-masted warships, in fact, it is not the shipbuilding speed that restricts the output of the three-masted warships, but the output of shipbuilding drawings. The drawing rate of the three-masted battleship is very sad, even the high-level senior ship designers cannot maintain a high production capacity for the three-masted battleship drawings, and the accumulated senior ship designers cannot produce the three-masted battleship drawings at all, which can be seen from Lao Liutou.

The drawings of the three-masted merchant ships have a relatively high drawing rate, as long as they master the technology of the transformation of the Daifuku ship. An ordinary senior ship designer can design a hardsail three-masted battleship.

Therefore, Gangzi believes that in the previous dynasty, the drawings of hard-sail battleships were not a problem for a sea power empire, and they should restrict the production speed of hard-sail warships should be the output of firewood, after all, the survival of fireflies is too dependent on the environment, and the area of Ash Island cannot provide a large number of finished fireworks.

But in the hands of Gangzi, this is not a problem at all, the island of fire is gradually taking shape, the bamboo of the Applegas Islands has been planted, and Baknar and the elves are focusing on cultivating. The seedlings of firecrackers are rapidly spreading on the volcanic islands owned by Applegas, and the first volcanic islands where firecrackers were planted are already able to provide firewood in small quantities.

Of course, the most important thing at hand is to test this hard-sailed battleship at sea.

As a gift to my younger sister, my brother must test it himself.

Climb aboard the battleship and be prompted to name the battleship. I think of the girl's bad taste for the name of the battleship. Although Gangzi is reluctant to let his gift be tarnished by the name of a food, in order to inherit the fine tradition of naming the Sugar Xiaotang series of battleships, he must carry it forward.

Gangzi looked at the little sister who was sleeping heavily, and stretched out his evil hand to secretly measure it. "Mantou"? Not appropriate. The "bread number" is good. The "Big Bread" number is better, with both the inheritance of the little sister and the innovation of the brother.

So the battleship under his feet was named "Big Bread" by Gangzi, and drove out of Jimo Port to start sea tests.

Start by testing the hardsail's ability to withstand wind forces. "Big Bread" began to enter the downwind course. The sea breeze enters from the back of the sail, the hard sail is puffed up to a certain arc, the hull begins to accelerate under the wind, and the hard sail with wide fire bamboo as the bone does not have any phenomenon that cannot be strained, and the whole sail maintains a symmetrical shape.

Then there was the sidewind and headwind, and the sails behaved very normally.

It is worthy of being a widely used hard sail material in the previous dynasties, and the bamboo has once again proved in actual operation that it is the best material for hard sail manufacturing.

The next step was the testing of the artillery. The composite rib is also a mature design of the previous dynasty, and the gang is completely transferred to the Daifuku ship according to the gourd painting scoop. When Gangzi emptied the ammunition on the ship, there was nothing bad in the entire hull.

The Daifuku ship was very successful, and after a day of sea testing, Gangzi named this type of hard-sail three-masted battleship as a Qingzhou fourth-class battleship, and sailed back to Jimo Port. I'll give it to her when my sister wakes up.

Back to the "native" studio, Gangzi ordered the designers to sort out the construction design of the Qingzhou fourth-class battleship, and when the firecrackers from Jihuo Island could be supplied normally, the firecrackers from the Applegas Islands could be carried into Jimo Port, and the Qingzhou fourth-class battleships could be manufactured on a large scale.

As a three-masted battleship with superior performance, the Qingzhou fourth-class battleship is unlikely to worry about sales.

It's just that the volcano on the island of fire is still erupting, and the island is rapidly expanding, and the island is full of flowing magma and poisonous gas. Personnel simply could not go to the island, let alone plant bamboo.

Therefore, it will take a little time for the construction of the Qingzhou fourth-class battleship, and what Gangzi can do now is to stock up on the drawings first and build the Daifuku ship to meet the needs of the Black Sail caravan.

After dealing with the matter of the Qingzhou fourth-level battleship, Gangzi quickly teleported to Heifan Island.

At this time, the Black Sails Territory had been upgraded to a fifth-class city, and the intermediate shipyard had been upgraded to a high-level shipyard, which could already build and repair three-masted sailing ships. When Gangzi arrived at the Black Sail Shipyard, a hard-sail battleship identical to the Qingzhou fourth-class battleship was quietly moored in the harbor.

Selecting a pirate sailor to go aboard, Gangzi commanded the battleship to sail out of Black Sail Harbor to begin another round of testing.

Adhering to the consistent tradition of Gangzi, the warships produced just are all high-low matched, low-equipped warships are used for foreign trade, and high-equipped warships are used for their own use and will never be exported.

The ribs of the Qingzhou fourth-tier battleship are made of composite adhesive to increase toughness, while Gangzi is now testing a battleship built by the elves using the ribs processed by the power of nature. In terms of the performance of the hull, there is not much difference between the two, but due to the larger volume of the composite ribs, the Qingzhou fourth-class battleship can only build eight watertight compartments, and this hard-sail three-masted battleship, which is about to be named the Dahan fifth-class battleship by Gangzi, has 16 watertight cabins, and the survivability has been greatly enhanced.

Because he didn't want others to know the specific situation of the Dahan fifth-level battleship, Gangzi didn't give Tang Yao the battleship, not because he was worried that the little sister would leak the secret, but because the little sister was the commander of the Lingxiao Guards Fleet, and her battleship would be equipped with a large number of player crews to provide first-hand information on the battle scene for the eyes of the combat department, so the performance and data of each of Tang Yao's flagships were public.

The three-masted battleship has eight watertight compartments, which is enough to tow, and if people know that there are sixteen watertight compartments, my brother will have fun in the future.

Therefore, the existence of the Dahan fifth-class battleship is strictly confidential, and non-black sail captains are not allowed to drive, non-black sail sailors are not allowed to board the ship, and non-black sail shipwrights are not allowed to repair and replenish.

After another day of busyness, the Dahan fourth-class battleship completed all the tests and officially became a member of the Gang series of battleships.

It's just that the ribs of the Dahan series of battleships need to be processed by elves, and the bamboo also needs to be cultivated by a large number of elves. Bucknar of Anne County has gathered the elves who want to return to their homeland in the Applegas Islands, and it is imperative to travel to the Emerald World.

Gangzi decided to wait for the situation in Dahan to stabilize before leaving.

The sea in Xuzhou has been calm, and Gangzi left an emergency assembly flag to stay at Jimo Shipyard to rush ship design skills. The restoration of the hard-sail three-masted battleship has given him a lot of design experience, and with the experience gained from previous training, the experience bar of senior ship designers has increased by more than half. Now that the way to build the Qingzhou fourth-class warship has been perfected, Gangzi decided to rush the ship design skills and accumulate some drawings.

At this time, there was a big turmoil in Dahan.

The Sizhou Imperial Forest Army came out of the Tiger Prison Pass, swept through Yuzhou as quickly as the tide, and broke through Yuzhou Runan on three days to capture the king of Yuzhou alive, but the main force of the Yuzhou Army was trapped in Jizhou and Yanzhou and could not get out, and did not launch a decent rescue at all.

Five days later, Yuzhou, which had no leader, was occupied by the Imperial Forest Army. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty abolished the title of king of Yuzhou, established the Department of Yuzhou Thorn History, and sealed the Assassin History as the pastor of Yuzhou.

This was the first state to be conquered by the whole territory, and the king of Yuzhou was also the first prince to be eliminated. All the state kings were frightened by the thunderous methods of the Han Emperor, which clearly meant to cut the domain!

For a time, the other eleven state kings had their own thoughts, some were angry, some were worried, and some were superficially dismissive. But the entire Han Dynasty quieted down, and even the Xuzhou battlefield where the fighting was fought was collected by all parties.

Yuzhou was captured too quickly, and the king of Yanzhou didn't even have time to transfer the army on the western front to the Xuzhou war, and the imperial forest army in Sizhou had already placed its troops on the border of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Wei Yu's prediction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou carving up Xuzhou Donghai County did not appear, and Xuzhou still controlled Donghai County; The Xuzhou Army in the south also temporarily blocked Yangzhou's attack, holding most of the territory of Linhuai County.

However, the loss of the territory of the three counties, including two important ports, Xuzhou's financial resources have been greatly impacted, and the strength has begun to dry up, especially on the player's battlefield, the players in Xuzhou have to face the two-sided attack of the Lingxiao Legion and the White Shark Legion, and they can't organize decent resistance at all. Therefore, if it goes on like this, after the reserve armies of Qingzhou and Yangzhou arrive, Xuzhou, which has lost foreign aid, will still not be able to escape

The fate of being annexed.

So the king of Xuzhou surrendered very unscrupulously.

The king of Xuzhou surrendered to the emperor of the Han Dynasty and was willing to cut the prince himself, and the governor of Xuzhou was willing to establish the Xuzhou Thorn History Department under the direct jurisdiction of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. (To be continued......)
