The Kraken Skuna brig (Schooner):

Brigs, and mainly hoist schooners, but sometimes also hoist crosssails on the top of the foremast. The foremast cannot be higher than the mainmast. It is widely used in applications that require speed and the ability to sail in the wind, such as slave traders, privateers, and anti-smuggling ships of the navy. This capacity has been further enhanced by the enhancement of the Port of Trinidad.

Five-star enhanced warship, captain: Lu Yuan

Hull Durability: 1674/1700 (formerly 1221/1244), Sail Durability: 100/100, Sailing Speed: 15.11 knots (formerly 13.64 knots), Steering Maneuverability: 42.23 (formerly 31.80). Wind efficiency: 7.25, load capacity: 55 tons (original 67 tons), crew: 122/122 people, fire configuration: 16-pounder long-barreled cannons/20 guns

Main crew: August (boatswain), Misha (comptroller)

——————

Except for its size, the ship's total stats are close to and exceed those of ordinary four-star ships.

The Kraken was sent to the dock for repairs and renovations, and it took three whole days before and after. Lu Yuan was also in the dock, and he was busy for three days. With the exception of the captain's room, he was involved in almost everything that was done to transform the ship. Lu Yuan not only hired people to repair the ship, but also tried to adjust the main structure of the ship. It's a pity. In this regard, there are limitations of the main god, and in the end, it did not reach the ideal state.

Lu Yuan originally designed the overall structure in the form of carbon sixty, thinking that he couldn't find it with ordinary materials? How naïve! When the ship's carpenters have finally completed the complex structure one by one. Lu Yuanyi's appraisal - the overall attribute plummeted to one-twentieth of the ...... This data should have been the other way around.

It was later replaced with a bracket structure for a viaduct. With steel rope traction - there are still problems. It's just that the reduction from one-twentieth to one-tenth is meaningless.

Lu Yuan tried it unwillingly, the watertight cabin? No way. Mesh boat ribs? Thank you.

……

The most achievable is possible. It was like this - the bottom compartment was full of staggered triangular brackets, which looked complex and ugly, and completely devoid of the beauty of a small boat. In the bottom warehouse, which is only about 1.6 meters high, and so many obstacles, there is no doubt that the person in charge of loading will lose his hair!

But when Lu Yuan appraised it, he almost laughed out loud - the durability of the hull had increased by a third! The speed has been increased by 1.5 knots again! Although the carrying capacity of the ship is lower, these are secondary attributes if they are not used for trade. The Caribbean Sea is full of ports and deserted islands ready to replenish, so ships rarely carry more than a month of food and fresh water when they go out to sea, and nothing else. In addition to the abundance of food and fresh water, even live chickens, cats and cows are not required to be brought on board, as is the case with ocean-going ships.

Of course, these are all data-based and superficial.

At a deeper level, the overall structure of the ship is more stable and can withstand greater forces.

This means that the ship can only withstand larger storms (which is important due to Lu Yuan's poor relationship with the sea god), Lu Yuan can do more extreme driving, and the ship will not almost disintegrate like the "Dugus". In addition, because the deck can withstand more recoil, Lu Yuan raised all the guns by half a block. Twenty 16-pounder cannons, all replaced with long-range, more penetrating 16-pounder long-barreled guns, the effective range increased by 100 feet!

In addition to reinforcing the hull, Lu Yuan greatly simplified the sail line for handling and simplified the control of the sail.

Although this will increase the consumption of canvas, it can effectively reduce the number of personnel. Although the full crew of the ship is now 122 people, the minimum number of people on long-distance voyages is only 12! If you pursue the ultimate state - before Lu Yuan's magic power is exhausted, he can sail the "Kraken" across the Caribbean Sea alone!

*******

"Say it earlier! It's just a tripod! The front is endless! Lu Yuan squatted on the edge of the dock with a smile, looking at his almost brand new "Kraken" happily. He pretended not to hear the loud whining of the ship's carpenters as they passed by him! Lu Yuan's pockets were empty now, but there was no way to appease the resentment of the shipwrights by throwing gold coins.

"Nice boat!" Only then did Lu Yuan notice that an old worker who had been renovating the boat together in the past few days had squatted down beside him and looked at the boat with a smile. "I bet it's going to Europe right now, and it will only take four weeks at most!"

"Twenty-three days......" Lu Yuan said in a low voice. Through the monsoon winds and familiarity with the ship, he was able to tell exactly how long it would take.

"What?"

"It's nothing, why didn't you go back to rest?" Lu Yuan took out a cigar and handed it over. Although the dock is full of wood chips and tung oil, it is a place prone to fires. But in this era, there is really no such thing as a smoking ban in the dock.

"I left it on my own." The old man turned his head, looked at him very seriously, and said, "There must always be someone to talk to you, and next time if you want to do something, just say your request." Don't try it the same way...... You've been busy for days like this, and it's not too comfortable. ”

"Hehe", Lu Yuan didn't know how to explain Lu Dao, so he could only try to mix it up with Ha Luha, which was really embarrassing...... Maybe I won't come to this dock in the future?

The old man shook his head dissatisfied, "Those designs of yours may not be incomprehensible to others." Your previous ideas are good...... Especially the first one! If it can really be done, it will probably be able to withstand a direct hit by a 32-pound shell! ”

Lu Yuan turned his head in surprise and looked at the old man! He really thought that no one could understand those designs!

Seeing him like this, the old man shook his head directly, "Young man." You have to learn to trust others. You look at these days when ships are being transformed. With the exception of the two women, have you asked your crew to participate? How can you show your combat effectiveness on an unfamiliar ship? How could they fight for this ship without having feelings for it?! ”

Lu Yuan respectfully and respectfully taught! He's been putting his mind on rebuilding the ship these days. Completely ignored. Retrofit the boat by your own hands. It is the best opportunity to unite the sailors and the ship as a whole. That can make the crew fall in love with their own ship, and now Lu Yuan is like this, but unfortunately he missed it.

But it's not too late.

Now he's just getting started. Just owned a small five-star wooden-hulled sailboat, and there is still a chance to redeem the mistake.

In the future, he will change to a better ship, a three-star cruiser and a two-star frigate...... He even dreamed that one day he would be able to command a deep-space battleship with planetary weapons that was nearly half the size of the "Dawn"!

"Please ......" Lu Yuan respectfully handled the cigar, then helped the old man light it, and watched him take a beautiful puff before continuing to say to Lu Yuan, "Maybe the boatmen can't compare to you when designing those shelves; But you can't compare to a shipwright when you renovate a ship. Do you know that those shelves can't be loaded for anything? Because there is a limit to the ascension of every ship. Some boats allow to double the lift! But some ships run out of potential when they are built. The boat was great, but now it's pretty much her limit. If...... If you own a legendary ship in the future, you might want to give it a try...... No, I'm afraid not, even if it's a legendary ship, it's not much different from ordinary ships below the silver level......"

"Wait, what do you mean by silver?" Isn't this obviously the division of strength in the Lord God World? How the aborigines also talk about this.

Unexpectedly, the old man smiled slightly, and stopped talking! The roots of Lu Yuanqi's teeth itched, but he couldn't ask more.

He quietly used an identification technique on the old man, but not only failed, but also attracted a disdainful glance from the old man!

"You can call me Luis," Lu Yuan introduced himself, this is the name he had when he looked like Portugal. "Haven't asked you yet?"

The old man looked at the cigar and smiled, "Louis...... You're a nobleman, aren't you? This cigar is not something that the average person can afford to smoke. ”

Lu Yuan shook his head and did not speak. Havana cigars, a whole two thousand boxes (a thousand barrels), he planned to keep for himself and bring back to space. The original Havana cigar is a rarity in the world, and Anne can consume so much on her own...... If you take into account the long life.

"I'm Oren, the owner of this small marina. This work is over, even if you were introduced by someone from the mayor's mansion, shouldn't you ...... it?" the old man smiled and picked up the cigar and sniffed it, "Although you smoke this cigar, I don't hear the sound of half a gold coin on you." ”

The identity of the old man once again exceeded Lu Yuan's expectations, he laughed a little, and knew that he was seen through by the old man that there was no food at home. But he was not embarrassed, and pointed to Elizabeth, who was walking towards this side with a group of people, and said, "Is this coming without money!" ”

Elizabeth walked in the front, followed by several young Spanish officers, all of whom looked arrogant. That should be Helena's brother, and the team he is going to organize the fleet. As the mainstream Galen ship "Barrier" in the Spanish fleet, it is the favorite of the Spanish Navy!

When the old man saw the men coming, he shook his head and walked away. He boarded the "Kraken" along the trestle, knocking here and there to check it.

Lu Yuan stood up and looked at the ship's carpentry clothes on his body, he was a little hesitant. He himself doesn't matter, but the aristocrat he plays has a so-called. But when he felt a sudden malice, it was time for him to change his mind.

Just stood there, waiting for those people to come with an indifferent expression. (To be continued......)
