"I heard the building materials have arrived?" I was arranging for the unloading of building materials, and Sumi didn't know where it came from.

I pointed to that whole bunch of things. "The compensation materials for the Temple of Light are complete."

"Is our dockyard ready to start?"

I look at the list in my hand. "No, there's 200 mica flakes less."

"Mica flakes? Think about it. Su Mei thought for a while and suddenly said, "Wait for me for an hour." After saying that, he ran away without waiting for my answer.

The war reparations of the Temple of Light can only be described as huge, and the amount is so large that the unloading of the car was delayed for a full hour. When we finished unloading, Su Mei also came back, and she still had a bunch of mica chips in her hand. "How? Here are 300 tablets to prevent you from running out. ”

I took the mica sheet and looked at it carefully. "Where did you get that? There's not much of it. ”

"You're so stupid!" Su Mei began to pretend to be an old qualification again. "Remember Miyun City?"

"The city we burned down?"

"Can't think of that?" Su Mei exclaimed in surprise: "The ports of Miyun City have been destroyed, but things like mica sheets are the sealing parts of the underwater gate of the port, and it is impossible for the dragon's attack to destroy the underwater part." ”

I immediately thought of the source of the mica flakes. "You dismantled the mica sheet from Miyun Port?"

"I didn't bother to go into the water and dismantle that thing! There are spare parts in the port, and I moved back a total of 300 pieces at one time. ”

"Miyun City has not been rebuilt since it was destroyed?"

Su Mei shook her head. "The Temple of Light is too busy to take care of itself now, how can it have time to take care of Miyun City. After the city was destroyed, many players ran to scavenge for waste, and everything in the city was almost empty. ”

"Isn't it!" I really didn't expect it to be so miserable. "By the way, why hasn't anyone taken such a valuable thing?"

"Who said no one took it! It's just that people take ready-made things, and no one thinks of disassembling things from the gate parts. But this time, I've got someone to do it. ”

"That's none of our business, we can build a dockyard with this thing."

"Let's get to work!"

"Okay, I'll go find a craftsman and start building."

The war reparations for the Temple of Light were not only the materials for the dockyard but also other materials that were in demand, and these things were distributed to various places, and the construction of special buildings in Isenger began one after another. After everyone started to get busy, I had nothing to do, as a commander, the main thing was to arrange, and when the personnel and materials were in place, there would be nothing for me.

The construction of the port is very fast, and the No. 1 dock has been basically completed in one day, and the dragons have returned to Dragon Island because they can't live in Isengh for a long time, but there is no shortage of cranes with Hongyan in us, and there are lucky enough for them to hold on.

The so-called dock actually has no walls, and several rows of columns support a roof. The dockyard is divided into 4 areas, each of which is a separate construction and maintenance area, and if all of them are started, 4 ships can be built at the same time. Where the dock and the harbor are connected are four large locks, which can be closed to the maintenance area to which they belong. When you need to repair a ship or build a ship, you can close the sluice gate and drain the water in the sluice to start work. The roof of the dock is equipped with four large cranes dedicated to lifting large hull parts, and corresponding to them, there are comb-like support frames in the work area under each lock. These supports can be adjusted in height at will, and the bottom of the boat is not flat, so these supports can hold the boat away from tipping over.

At the current rate, if the work is carried out day and night, all four docks can be completed the morning after tomorrow. I'm not going to wait for all four dockyards to be built before starting shipbuilding, so I'm going to rush out and see how one is going tonight.

At present, we have the technology to build two kinds of warships, one is a surface ship and the other is an underwater submarine. I discussed with Su Mei and those German MMs about the formation and finalization of the battleship. In the end, I concluded: "I would like to make 5 classifications for surface ships.

The first, armed speedboats. This type of vessel is required to be no more than 20 meters in length and not more than 500 tons in displacement. What you want is to be fast, so fast that others can't catch up, can't aim accurately, and can't hit. Double speedboats like the one bought from Atlantis are rarely hit, and even if they are shot, they are mostly blind cats and dead mice.

The second, frigates. The length of such a battleship should not exceed 80 meters, and the displacement should not exceed 2000 tons. Since it is a small warship, it is not planned to be too strong, what is required for this kind of warship is maneuverability, although it does not need to be the same speed as the speedboat, it must be at least 50% higher than the warships of other countries, so that it can achieve high maneuverability and not be hit.

The third, destroyers. Ships of this class require a length of between 80 and 200 meters and a displacement of between 2000 and 40000 tons. This kind of warship requires a speed of more than 35% higher than that of other countries' warships, and must have more than twice the defensive power, and the firepower must basically exceed that of similar enemy ships.

Fourth, cruisers. For cruisers, my requirements are between 200 and 300 meters in length and between 35000 and 50000 tons in displacement. The speed of the cruiser was at least 20% faster than that of the enemy battleship, and the defense was 5 times faster than that of the enemy ship. In terms of firepower, it is necessary to be able to suppress the vast majority of the opponent's warships, because in the future, they will have to rely on them to gain sea supremacy. ”

Su Mei suddenly interrupted me and said, "Why use cruisers to gain sea supremacy?" Isn't it possible to build battleships? ”

"The fifth type I would say is battleships. This is our biggest warship, and Noah's kind of battleship that belongs to a city on the sea is not a battleship. I demand that the length of the battleship be more than 300 meters, and the displacement should preferably not be less than 50000 tons. The speed of the battleship does not need to be too fast, it is more than 1% faster than the enemy ship. But! "I emphasized it with an accent." The battleship's defense and firepower had to be strong enough, its armor defense was at least 10 times more than that of the British super-battleships, and it had to be guaranteed to be repeatedly shot without sinking. In terms of firepower, it is necessary to achieve absolute instant killing, and I do not plan to let the battleship participate in naval battles, and will mainly use it to occupy cities in the future. When the time comes to occupy the port cities of other countries, the battleship must be able to withstand the attack of the shore defense guns and fire at the port battery, and the battleship is a sea battery, and it must be able to match its own identity.

In addition to these 5 types, you can also arrange some special warships, such as landing craft and the like. ”

Walmart said: "Don't worry about the battleship artillery, the power and range of the Shenwu cannon are far beyond those of other countries, and our precision strike capability is even higher than that of nearby countries." But I'm afraid that the hull defense is difficult, right? ”

"If it doesn't work, increase the thickness of the hull, as long as it can't be sunk. If you really can't meet the requirements, you can consider giving up the speed, anyway, others can't penetrate our armor, and we have an advantage in being caught up. ”

"Then let's use the first battleship to build the ultimate volume of the battleship in the dock, right?"

"Absolutely."

"By the way, what about the classification of the submarine part?" Walmart asked.

I said: "There are two types of submarines. The first type of main attack submarine is equipped with 4 sets of thrusters and an oxygen separator from Atlantis, so that it can last for a long time. However, the oxygen separator and thruster are relatively large, so I estimate that the actual length of the submarine may be more than 200 meters, although it is a little bigger. On the other hand, I want to make a submarine for secret infiltration, with two thrusters and an oxygen separator, and not with weapons on the boat, all of which are made into warehouses for transporting people to the shores of other countries. The cargo compartment is large and makes it easy to pull things back. ”

"And what weapons do attack submarines use?"

"Magic Light Cannon!"

"The thing?" Walmart was taken aback.

Su Mei exclaimed: "Not bad! The Magic Light Cannon is a problem with cooling, but it won't be a problem if it is mounted on a submarine. ”

Walmart said a little sadly: "I have already asked people to check the information of the magic light cannon, I'm afraid we can't equip a large number of magic light cannons." ”

"Why?"

"There is a key component in the middle of the magic light cannon that needs to use a clear crystal, this kind of thing I have asked Red Moon and Rose to help find it, I even asked the European side to find it, the result is that the production of this kind of thing is very small, but the magic light cannon needs a large clear crystal in a whole piece. I've already calculated that even if we go all out, we'll be able to build 8 or 9 doors at most. ”

"Dizzy! Again there is a shortage of materials! "I can't help it now." That's it. It's enough to build two or three attack submarines, and the other modified magic crystal cannons, so it's always okay, right? ”

"Of course that's fine."

"Since there is no problem, we will start construction immediately, the first battleship is made of black steel, and the output is not enough for the time being, I will start installing it tomorrow, right?"

"Agreed."

Now Tianyu City, Isinger, and Steel City are all engaged in construction, and what Isinger lacks most is engineering personnel, which makes me dizzy. Finally, by the evening of the next day, all the materials needed for the battleship had been transported to the port, and in addition to Dock 1, Docks 2 and 3 were basically completed. Let them continue the construction, and we will start building the ship first.

This was the first warship at the Isenger shipyard, and the main members of the guild gathered together to watch the construction process. The first battleship used 92,000 tons of black steel and 30,000 tons of refined steel, and we also used 15,000 tons of wood and tens of thousands of pieces of leather for the interior decoration. The captain hired tens of thousands of NPCs to work, and the entire battleship was almost built bit by bit by a large group of people in the way of ants moving. A large number of fire mages work as welders here, and water mages use high-pressure water jets to polish the seams of the hull and check for leaks. Tons of material were moved in and out by several of my dragons, and Hongyan was responsible for the final general lifting along with the crane, which was obviously not fast enough for a crane.

The next morning, everyone couldn't stand going offline to rest, and only me and the large group of NPCs were still working. The battleship is now basically in shape, and luckily they are helping to put the guns in place. These guns had only one firing part, which required connection to the ship's turrets and additional equipment before they could be used, which was originally created to facilitate installation on different warships. Everyone knows the benefits of parts standardization.

At half past eight in the afternoon, the swarthy battleship was finally completed. Once everyone had gone up to the workbench, I was forced to make a short speech, and then I personally flipped the lock switch. A large amount of seawater was poured into the locks, and when the water dragged the hull up, the supports under the hull began to shrink to both sides. When the water level inside and outside the lock was level enough for the lock to open slowly, the 20 pushers began to tow the warship out of the dock and into the inner harbor of Isenger.

After making a U-turn in the inner harbour and being sent into the tunnel by a tugboat, the main lock of Isenger opened slowly, the first time since the last fall. Outside the port is a 200-meter diversion channel, which we dug out by force, otherwise the port would not be able to connect to the water outside.

When the ship left Isenger and we all got aboard, the canvas on the side of the bow was violently pulled off, and the silver inscription appeared on the bow - the Eternity.

The first ironclad battleship built by our own Isinger has finally been launched. The Super Battleship Eternity has a total length of 681.7 meters, a width of 128.9 meters, a draft of 22.8 meters, a side water discharge of 15.8 meters, and a full load displacement of 198,000 tons. The battleship used 4 groups of 16 special underwater thrusters, and the propulsion ratio per unit mass was higher than that of the original Biling. The whole ship is built of black steel, with a thickness of 727 mm of armor in ordinary positions and 797 mm of armor in important locations such as ammunition depots, turrets, engine rooms, and control towers. Such armor thickness magic crystal cannon should be sighed, and ordinary artillery should not be considered.

The main armament of the Eternity is five five-pack turrets, using a front three rear two layout. The turret uses a 520 mm caliber Shenmu cannon with a range of 130 km, which is definitely a sea martial god. In addition to the main cannon, the Eternity also has a magic light cannon, which is protected by armor up to 1 meter thick inside a sealed turret. This turret is located at the top of the conning tower, and when it is necessary to shoot, the magic light cannon will start to charge, and when the energy gathering is almost complete, open the armor to shoot, and close the armor plate immediately after the shot. There is a sprinkler cooling system in the turret, which is specially used for cooling the magic light cannon. Of course, in addition to these things, there were nearly a thousand other guns of various sizes on board.

The Eternity, which entered the sea, first conducted a thruster test, and King Chuang now stood in front of the bridge to operate the battleship with his eyebrows raised. The thruster's lever was pushed forward one notch, and the hull began to move slowly. As the thrust handle pushed forward, the speed of the ship gradually increased, and it soon reached its maximum speed, but I don't know why it didn't feel as fast as the Biling. The speed measured outside is obviously much faster than the previous Biling, but we don't think it's that fast, probably because of the closed conning tower used by the Eternity, so it doesn't have that sense of speed blowing the sea breeze.

The end of the voyage is the artillery of the artillery. The big pot rice was raised to the side salvo, and the battleship was famous for the power of the salvo. Eventually, we acceded to his request, and all of the Eternity's guns were turned in the same direction.

Walmart picked up the microphone from the external megaphone and shouted, "Deck clear, the Eternity is about to have a broadside salvo, all personnel are back inside, don't stand on the deck, especially not on the right deck." All the doors of the battleship must be opened, otherwise the locking system will be broken, so please open the hatches around you. ”

The chamber pressure caused by a 520 mm cannon is enough to destroy any nearby creatures, and the firing of a gun above 400 mm can cause visible internal injuries to creatures within a 30-degree angle near the muzzle, let alone a 520 mm thing.

After clearing the deck, I ordered hundreds of guns to fire at the same time, a deafening loud bang shook people's scalps, and the huge shock wave shook the entire crew to the ground, the five batteries were the most terrifying, the huge muzzle flame was 10 meters long, and the smoke after the shelling almost covered half of the hull.

I saw King Chuang open and close his mouth at me, but I couldn't hear what he was saying, the only sound in my ears was a buzzing sound. After about ten seconds, there was a sudden popping in my ears, and various sounds came back to my ears. Dizzy! I was deafened for a while!

When I turned around, I found that I was not the only one who was deaf next to me, and the big pot of rice was shouting at Shura Ziyi, but Shura Ziyi asked vigorously: "What did you say?" Be louder, I can't hear you. ”

Bingbing suddenly covered her mouth and ran out, and then many players made the same move. Almost a third of the players rushed to the side of the boat and began vomiting.

"I'm dizzy, exaggerated!" I looked at the row of people and my heart grinded.

Walmart was also one of the vomiters, and she came back weakly after vomiting. "No! This ship still needs to be rebuilt, this can't be done, if it goes on like this, everyone else will be fine, we will die first! ”

King Chuang shook his head and said, "It's really enjoyable, but the vibration is a little bigger." ”

Su Mei in the back said: "Next time, it's better to aim at the target and shoot, the range of this cannon is too far, you can't see where the shells land!" ”

"Let's talk about it later! Don't say anything about the sound insulation problem! "I'm also a little dizzy and nauseous now!

After returning to the port, the people who did not have their turn to get on the boat began to pull the people on the boat to ask about the situation, but the people on the boat all shook their hands with sad faces, and many people couldn't even walk and had to be supported before they could get off the boat. It seems that building a ship is not as simple as imagined, and the British did not dare to build a battleship too big, and it is estimated that this problem is not easy to deal with.
