Chapter 105: Baron Babia

The Baron Barbia, from the outside, is a strangely shaped airship. The 125-meter-long wooden plank hull is 18 meters wide at its widest point, has a draft of 5.5 meters, and has a standard displacement of 3,200 tons and a full load displacement of 3,600 tons. Compared with other longsword heavy airships, the biggest feature is that there is no high stern, the main deck from the bow to the stern is a high and low plane, there is an all-metal rotating turret in the front and rear of the deck, the middle of the turret is not a large superstructure, the bridge, observation post, command post and other institutions are in it, and the top of the front and rear bridges is a mast up to 45 meters. However, the most obvious difference is the four high-power electric motors at the bow and stern of the ship, and the five-bladed propeller with a diameter of 10 meters. At the beginning of construction, the shipbuilding experts who undertook the construction task have been trying to persuade Qin Shouzhuo to adopt the classic design, the length should not exceed 100 meters, and the number of masts should be kept at 4, otherwise the speed of the two masts will be reduced to a very sad degree for such a large ship. The new aristocracy wants to build a super-laden private airship, experts understand it, especially when this aristocracy is not short of money, using the traditional ship type to build a super-large airship with a maximum load displacement of 4500 tons to 5000 tons is enough to pull the wind, and the technology is mature, and there is basically no construction risk. However, Qin Shou tried his best to defy public opinion and insisted on his own design. Seeing the four huge motors, the experts in the shipping industry all understood Qin Shouchou's thoughts, this master was preparing to burn the magic crystal to fly, and these two masts were just a backup in the case of reimbursement of these motors. Tuhao, why don't you go to heaven. Then, such a special airship laid the first keel in the bump. For more than a year, in the process of continuous exploration and revision of drawings, the workers in the Babia Shipyard who had merged from the Third Pavel Shipyard took advantage of the opportunity of the local tyrants to start the construction of the world's first iron-ribbed wooden hull ship. In the process of construction, new technical achievements were constantly invented, and then applied to the construction of the next cargo ship, half a year after the start of construction, the Babia shipyard began to experiment with the production of standard displacement of 2,200 tons of iron rib wooden hull standard freighter. At the end of the year, the first batch of six 2,200-ton armed cargo ships was officially launched, and a month later, the Baron Baron, which belongs to the technical exploration, also began intensive equipment installation work. Qin Shouzhuo's operation this time can be said to be just right, the carefully prepared flagship has just completed basic training, and it is just time to take it out for actual combat testing, if there is anything wrong, the next ship will just be modified and upgraded. For the time being, the feedback of the batch of 6 2,200-ton armed cargo ships is good, the structure is lightweight, the cargo space is large, the load is more, the flight is more stable, and the hull is stronger. Since mages with a little strength in this world are generally able to fly, aerial combat has become an unavoidable problem. Of course, it would be best if he could bring a mid-level or above magician on his side, he could intercept the enemy outside the opponent's magic range, but obviously Qin Shouzhuo couldn't do it in a short time. To bolster anti-aircraft firepower, Baron Baron's middle deck was almost entirely filled with anti-aircraft guns, ranging from the smallest 12.7mm heavy machine guns to the 130mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, as it should have been. Isn't it that the barrel can't be built, where it was originally planned to install a large number of anti-aircraft guns, but now in addition to a few heavy machine guns, 24 light magic cannons are installed, and the rest can only be done first. Although from the beginning of the drawing design, this class of battleship was defined as a test ship by Qin Shouzhuo, using an iron-ribbed wooden shell structure, more to train workers, and accumulate basic technology, for which Qin Shouzhuo also paid a huge price - the front and rear main turrets of the Baron Barbia were not well armored, and the thickest part was only 40mm, although the best steel and case hardening technology were used, and Qin Shouzhuo also enchanted it. The main armor belt of the hull is only 200mm thick hardwood, the internal compartment is only 25mm, and many places are made of plywood. In order to make up for the lack of defense, 40 intermediate enchanters spent three days carving magic patterns on the exterior of the hull, arranging a total of 240 defensive barriers, and the most critical magic crystal reactor part of the cabin was a large general-purpose defense barrier relying on the dome armor to protect the power department and the magic crystal warehouse. The whole ship also has an integral defensive barrier, but when that thing is turned on, it is completely isolated from the inside and outside, and if you want to attack, you must first close the barrier, which is generally used for patrol and other non-combat security purposes. ........................ In the early morning of September 21, 4828, under the leadership of the new warship Baron Babia, 15 medium-sized airships that had been modified and fully equipped with large electric motor propulsion systems followed, broke away from the wind duct early, maintained the light control, sailed at an altitude of 3,000 meters above Fangshan in the Daba Mountains, and sailed south at a speed of 10 knots. According to the intelligence, the lair of this thief group is somewhere on Fang Mountain, and Qin Shouzhuo sent the fangs here early just to find out the other party's arrangement. At this time, in the Baron Babia officer's cafeteria, the 14 squadron leaders and the commanders of the troops directly under the regiment gathered together, obeying Qin Shouzhuo to make arrangements for the battle, and the only absent squadron leader was the fang, and the fleet was sailing at low speed on the mountain at this time in order to find the fangs squadron that entered the mountain in advance. Also present were the commanders of the two large mercenary groups in Shu County, their troops had already approached Fangshan in concealment at this time, ready to encircle, but in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, they were still hiding in the dense bushes at this time. Two days ago, Qin Shouzhuo had already arrived in Shu County, paid the second phase of the mercenary fee, and ordered the two mercenary groups to enter the mountain immediately, approaching both sides of Fangshan in concealment, while he took the Baron Baron, raised the sails in broad daylight, and slowly flew along the wind channel near Fangshan. This is the code agreed with the fangs before, if the Baron Babia passes by at a low speed along the wind channel during the day, it means that the Grand Fleet will definitely come to the sky above Fangshan again at night, and the Poison Fang squadron will be able to choose the opportunity to join the Grand Fleet, and with the intelligence support of the Poison Fang squadron, Qin Shouzhuo will be able to start arranging the attack. The officer's cafeteria was smoky, the extinguished cigarette butts had filled the ashtray, and the meeting had been going on for almost four hours, but there was still no result at all. Just yesterday, another burned village was discovered, the county guard of Shu County has raised the bounty to 5 million silver coins, and the Lawrence Imperial Army stationed in Shu County has also entered the first level of combat readiness, but it is a pity that the county guard has not formed an airship fleet at this level, otherwise the mountain at this time may be full of airships of the imperial army. It is too normal for reconnaissance missions to go deep behind enemy lines, Qin Shouzhuo has long been accustomed to transport planes that are always late, and enemy reports that have never been correct, every hell paratrooper will be told when he performs his first mission: Don't believe any nonsense that any support will arrive on time, you can only rely on yourself if you want to survive. "Squeak~bang!" A second lieutenant hurriedly walked into the officer's cafeteria, walked quickly to Qin Shouzhuo's side, leaned down and said something in Qin Shouzhuo's ear, the discussion in the restaurant stopped, and everyone waited for Qin Shouzhuo to announce the latest news. "The bridge reported that the signal of the Viper squadron was found, and the light airship Rebecca broke away from the formation to liaison, and the Charlie was in charge of guarding and escorting. "Well," Qin Shouzhuo nodded, the second lieutenant saluted, and left in a hurry, returning to his post. Qin Shouzhuo looked at the anxious faces around him, and announced the news just now: "The Viper Squadron has been found, and a fleet has been sent to respond, don't be impatient, and lay out the map first." "Bang Bang Bang Bang~" There was a sound of tables and chairs moving, a new detailed map of Fangshan was spread on the table, and the somewhat irritable squadron leaders who had been tormented by the long wait took out their last patience and waited for the arrival of the poisonous snake. ........................ In Fang Shan Mountain, no one knew that there was such an underground city here, and the residents inside were either vicious or ragged, and they didn't look like a normal city. In the deepest part of the city, in a three-story building carved out of the rock wall, a muscular scar-faced man walked into one of the most ornately decorated houses with a book in one hand and a pen in the other. It is said that the decoration is the most ornate, but in fact it is just a painted gate and two guards in the courtyard. "Big brother, the latest batch of slaves and supplies have been collected in the storehouse, and they will be loaded on the ship at dawn tomorrow, and then we will leave here together. However, the so-called rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, during this time we robbed 5 villages, and many of the brothers below saw that something was wrong, do you want to ......" The big man gestured with his hand on the side of his neck, and the meaning was self-evident. Behind the desk in the room, an old man in a magical robe with no apparent rank slowly stood up, his eyes swaying from side to side, showing his inner wavering. "No...... Or try to stabilize them. Recently, some brothers reported that they had found some traces on Fang Mountain that did not belong to us, and the other party was a veteran, and the brothers were unable to find more clues. The old man shook his head and said in a low voice: "There are also tasks assigned by the master's side, and the manpower of a few of us and my brothers alone is not enough. That guy, his mind is not simple, and he is not a hereditary territory, so he actually invested 30 million silver coins in construction. Recently, I heard that the heretic is about to start the second phase of the construction of the territory, and the total investment is 25 million. Damn, mentally retarded, what's wrong with so much money, and you still have to pay it back to the royal family after building a good territory. The old man's heart did not seem to be calm, and the strong man's brows were also furrowed, and it was not easy to be a "bandit". The old man stroked a candlestick on the wall, and with a snort, a large hole suddenly appeared in the wall. Illuminated by the fire of the candlestick, the staircase descended into the darkness.
