Chapter 93 Ship Design

Sir Gardner laughed: "How could it not be, for example, the fourth-class warship Tarzan, in order to increase speed, the bow gun was removed, and the bow was narrowed; The increase in the sail area by the increase in mast height, the compression of the superstructure in order to keep the hull from tilting in the direction of the wind, and the weight of the ballast stones at the bottom of the ship were reduced, which reduced the space in the cabin and lowered the load of the Tarzan. ”

After hearing this, Gangzi suddenly realized: "But why is it rumored that the ships renovated by British engineers do not weaken the other performance of the ships." ”

"Huh...... That is our British Empire has the most and most excellent ship designers, can be almost all classes of ships to transform, in strengthening the individual attributes of the ship at the same time, so that the reduction of other performance to the minimum, in fact, our advantage is in the transformation of the third class or above the warship, the transformation of the third class warship needs the design of the master ship designer, many countries do not have a master design designer, so they need to come to the United Kingdom to transform the third class warship, so in the British shipbuilding industry is strong at the same time, There are also a lot of rumors, in fact, for the transformation of fourth, fifth, and sixth class warships, Dahan should also have good technology, and even some of your ship designers' design concepts are beyond our Britain. ”

…… Yes! Gold coins, triple the cost, foreigners double it again, is it okay for my brother to return it?

Of course, it is definitely impossible to return the goods, and can people still spit out the gold coins in their mouths? Now the important thing is the transformation of the "Flying Henan People", Gangzi soothed the little heart dripping blood and asked: "Your Excellency means that if the 'Flying Henan People' is equipped with too many guns, it will cause a significant decrease in other performance?" How many guns should be installed? ”

"Come with me," said Sir Gardner, who led Gangzi to the design table, and said to the long drawing on the table with the structure of the three-masted battleship, "This is the structural drawing of the 'Flying Henan Man,' and if I were to design it, it would not be a problem to add sixteen more guns." ”

Gangzi showed a look of joy, but Ser Gardner continued: "However, once the modification is carried out, it is possible that the 'Flying Henan' will lose the opportunity to advance to the legendary battleship. ”

Legendary ships?

Gangzi remembered when he named the Avana "The Flying Dutchman". It was once suggested that the "Flying Dutchman" was the name of the legendary battleship and could not be used.

"Can the 'Flying Henan People' still be promoted? What is Legendary? ”

"The Legendary Ship means that this ship has a soul of its own, and in battle its soul will envelop the entire sea, and all ships of the fleet with it as the flagship will receive the bonus given by its soul. The Victory, the flagship of the British Royal Navy, is a legendary battleship, his soul represents the power of the monarchy, and all ships with him as the flagship will be blessed with the power of artillery. ”

Depend on! This is the field! Kondo's aura can only affect a small area near him, and the legend level of people can affect a fleet. As soon as he thought that his "flying Henan people" might be promoted to the legend, Gangzi trembled with excitement, and if it weren't for Sir Gardner still in front of him, he would have jumped up a long time ago.

"Then please Lord Sir quickly transform it. As long as I can advance to the legendary level, I can agree to any conditions. Gangzi is eager to promote the "flying Henan people".

Sir Gardner shook his head and said: "The ship spirit owned by the 'Flying Henan People' has touched the threshold of becoming a legendary battleship, and the next step is to transform, as long as a certain attribute of the battleship is strengthened to a certain extent and perfectly fits with the ship spirit, the soul can be stimulated, there is only one chance, if it fails, the ship spirit will be completely destroyed by the incompatible attributes, I don't think that strengthening the firepower will definitely inspire the ship spirit." ”

There is even a risk! If you fail, you won't even be able to save the ship's spirit.

Gangzi thought for a while and said: "The ship spirit attribute of the 'Flying Henan People' is calm, but how to strengthen calmness?" ”

"Rebuild the hull with refreshing wood. However, the attribute of the ship spirit is not necessarily the soul characteristic, it may only be a manifestation of the soul, I ask you if you know how the 'Flying Henan People' produced the ship spirit, and I also want to deduce the possible appearance of its soul. ”

The predecessor of the "Flying Henan People" was the ship of the undead. It's rare to find a lot of bones to rebuild the hull? Let's not talk about how much psychological endurance it takes for my brother to drive a bone boat, the key is whether the bone boat can float?

The two of them thought about their own thoughts, and there was a calm in the study.

A voice broke the silence.

"Sir, I've put back the book I borrowed yesterday. What are we going to learn today? The apprentice who had just laid out the books had finished his work, and he cautiously walked up to Sir Gardner and asked.

"It's little Wilson," said Sir Gardner, looking up for a moment. "Today, read "The Classification and Structure of the Rudder", the rudder is an important part of a ship, the simpler its power transmission connection, the more flexible the ship, I hope you can read it as proficiently as your native language."

"Okay, sir, do you need me to tidy up those tools on the design table?" Wilson Jr. looked at a survey tool that had been placed indiscriminately and spoke.

"Good...... No," said Sir Gardner, turning to Gangzi at the sudden thought of something, "can you help me sort out these tools?" If there's something you don't understand, Wilson Jr. can teach you. ”

With so much important news from Sir Gardner's mouth, how could Gangzi refuse this little request. He immediately stood up and skillfully put the tools in sorts.

Sir Gardner saw that Gangzi was so familiar with these tools and asked, "Do you know how to use them?" ”

Gangzi didn't raise his head, and replied without thinking: "Of course, when I was commanding the fleet to fight, I often worked on the charts by myself, calculating wind speed, strength, ocean currents and many other data, and among my subordinates there was a regular naval captain, that is, the captain of the Taishan, these are all taught to me by him?" ”

Sir Gardner's interest was aroused: "It must be interesting that you have commanded naval battles at such a young age, can you tell me about it?" ”

There was an opportunity to brag, and of course Gangzi would not let it go, and after inserting the last triangle, he moved a chair and sat down in front of Sir Gardner, and boasted about the East Asian naval battle.

It took an afternoon of chatting to finish describing the entire East Asian naval battle.

"Sir, the main force of my fleet was on its way to England at that time, otherwise there were two three-masted battleships, and I would have already hit Tokyo."

Sir Gardner was amused and asked some questions about the choice of wind direction during the battle and the attitude of the ship in the face of shelling, and Gangzi answered them fluently.

"It seems that you have a good teacher, and of course your talent is also the main reason why you keep winning." Sir Gardner nodded, "Captain Gangzi, would you be willing if I took you as an apprentice and taught you the art of ship design?" ”

……

What's going on? Talking about the transformation of the "Flying Henan People", why do you have to apprentice as an apprentice. However, this master does not worship in vain, and the disciple of the chief designer of Plymouth in England is a bluff to say that it is more bluffing, and it will be free to change ships in Plymouth in the future, and it is another source of money for a few customers to slaughter Godora.

In line with the principle of taking advantage of the advantage, Sir Baigardner immediately agreed to be a teacher.

Ding: You learn basic ship design techniques (you can design drawings of tallest dhows and retrofit dhows).

Basic Ship Design: Spend gold to generate a shipbuilding blueprint for a sailboat. (The Beginner skill can generate shipbuilding blueprints up to 1000 gold for a dhow and 10 gold for a sloop.) The quality of the boat diagram is related to the skill level. ）； Spend gold to generate a Sailboat Modification Blueprint (Beginner skills can generate up to a Dhow Modification Blueprint, which costs 1000 gold for a dhow and 10 gold for a small sailboat.) The quality of the transformation drawings is related to the skill level. ）

Wow...... This is the ability to turn stones into gold.

After Gangzi learned the primary ship design, he immediately opened the design interface with the vision of moving towards the Avenue of Wealth, prompting that he needed to put in drawings and gold coins, Gangzi chose to design a dhow, a blank drawing and 1000 gold were put into the confirmation, and a drawing appeared in his hand.

"Drawings of a leaky dhow."

Depend on! What the hell is this?

Sir Gardner didn't expect Gangzi to be so anxious after learning the skill, he didn't look at what kind of drawings Gangzi had designed, but he could guess what kind of goods it was from his expression.

Gangzi asked suspiciously: "Mentor, may I ask why the drawings I designed are 'Leaky Sloop Merchant Ship Drawings'?" ”

Since he had accepted Gangzi as his apprentice, Sir Gardner also showed the grandeur of a mentor, and he said solemnly: "Do you want to design qualified shipbuilding drawings in an opportunistic way? If you succeed, what's the use of me studying ship design all my life? I just need to spend a lot of gold to pile up proficiency. You remember, really powerful warships are drawn by hand, and it is impossible to become a master ship designer by just cleverness, which is why there are so few master ship designers in the world. ”

Gangzi suddenly realized: "Thank you for the teacher's teaching, the disciple remembers, but the disciple can't draw shipbuilding drawings?" ”

Sir Gardner was extremely satisfied with Gangzi's attitude, and he said: "No, I can not learn, through the observation just now, I found that your foundation is not bad, and you can quickly deepen your understanding of ships by participating in naval battles frequently, and when your ship design skills reach a certain level, I hope that the promotion of the 'Flying Henan Man' to legend can be completed in the hands of my disciples." ”

It turned out that Sir Gardner thought that he was not sure of the promotion of the "Flying Henan", and he did not want this potential battleship to be buried, so he temporarily gave birth to the idea of accepting Gangzi as a disciple. Gangzi is the captain of the "Flying Henan People", and if he has a certain degree of attainment in the understanding of ship construction, he may not be able to find a way to inspire the "Flying Henan People".
