Chapter 421: Ribbed wooden hull boat

"Extraordinary Great Navigation (
"Storm Horn" Irwin's exclusive laboratory.
The golden gun of an excellent and extraordinary weapon seized from Ovig, lying quietly on the wooden support of the test bench, radiated brilliant extraordinary auras under the soft light of the hanging wind chimes.
Noisy
While observing its structure through various detection witchcraft of the Living Chemistry School, a gold coin in Ivan's hand flickered, slowly changing its shape.
First, the front and back sides with flowers and words are quietly switched, and then the whole melts into a miniature golden lion, seagull, sailboat...
Obviously, Ovig's ability to use thunder and lightning that he once demonstrated when refining the golden spear gave Ivan a lot of inspiration.
For him, the long spear made of pure gold is of limited value, but the technology contained in this extraordinary weapon is a valuable asset to Aiwen.
It can be said that it is a magical technique independent of general wizard alchemy. It is not only the shape of gold, but even the physical properties are changed by him at the same time.
Although Aiwen's current capabilities already include various prerequisites for realizing that technology, it is still far from reaching the level of the opponent.
But he is not going to underestimate himself, and there are still some advantages compared with Ovig.
as far as I can tell.
Aiwen has fully realized most of the precision processing capabilities of "artificial" machine tools by using his own lightning attribute ability, coupled with the "data vision" of activating aura and precise measurement.
As long as there are materials, it is easy to make guns, shipborne guns and even relatively complex mechanical parts that do not involve essential changes.
After this mission is over, go to Yuanfanling.
The main purpose is to deal with this sea shark totem pole, and by the way, to reshape the eight brig slave ships that have almost completed the preliminary work.
Another point is to carry out a subversive modification to the "Storm Horn" to maximize its approach to the standard of a quasi-legendary warship.
That's when this precision machining capability shines!
Fluttering--
The sound of flapping wings suddenly interrupted Irvine's thoughts.
I saw a spiritized seagull messenger suddenly emerged from the air in front of him, and put a letter sent through the spirit world beacon on the table.
"Oh? Anthony is very efficient."
Aiwen's eyes lit up instantly, and he stretched out his hand to gently unfold the long-awaited letter.
There are a total of five valuable spiritual letter papers, which are densely written with small characters and painted with graphics:
"Ivan, during this period of time, the three of me, Dilis and Alva really had to break their legs. When you come back, you can't forget to compensate us.
But the results are good, and all the parts that can be extracted within our authority are already here..."
This is a letter from Anthony who specializes in "Alchemy Tools and Enchanting Engineering".
Because Ivanson was afraid that the somewhat backward knowledge in "The Sacrifice of Flesh" was wasting this excellent raw material, he specifically asked friends far away in the kingdom to collect the knowledge made by the "head of the ship" for his own reference.
That's right.
Aiwen is preparing to make this extremely rare and extraordinary material into a powerful ship's bow!
When the large fleet crusades against the "Grand Theater" controlled by the Dead Soul Box, the head of the warped head that also possesses Tier 3 power really impressed him too deeply.
Only by relying on the portrait of the ship's head, a dilapidated galleon that has long been behind the times can actually have the combat effectiveness of a quasi-legendary battleship and knock down its own fleet.
Have to marvel at the magic of this witchcraft creation!
As for the ability of witchcraft to create things, it is obvious that no one in the entire material world dares to brag to surpass the alchemy school.
Moreover, the scope of their collection of materials is not only limited to the "Violet Eye" library and the private collections of members of the association, but also their family collections.
For Anthony and others, it is not a problem to get some basic knowledge that does not involve core secrets for Aiwen, who is no longer what it used to be.
Even this knowledge is invaluable to the outside world.
If it were not for the inheritance of the "living chemistry school," three or four hundred years ago, there was no technology specifically aimed at witchcraft creation like the bow of the ship.
"Yes, yes, next time I mail the'extraction potion' to the crown prince, I won't forget you."
I read it eagerly, especially the several ready-made production cases, which greatly expanded Aiwen's thinking.
Gradually, an initial manufacturing plan based on the inheritance of the "Living Chemistry School" and supported by the knowledge of the "Alchemy School" has begun to take shape in his mind.
"The only thing that is somewhat uncertain now is the coexistence of external energy and the residual power of Ovig.
At least in the raw materials of the normal ship's bow, there is not a totem god's power source left. "
Taking out the two huge sapphires from the looting of the golden post road from the magic pocket, and looking at it quietly for a while, Ivan suddenly thought of someone.
With her knowledge of witchcraft materials such as gems, she should be able to provide a lot of ideas for herself, right?
So he took out the leaf of hyacinth and wrote gently on it:
"Miss Moonstone, hello! Please forgive me for taking the liberty..."
...
From the bay near Kashoel all the way down.
Even with the duality of "Monsoon Goddess" and "Ocean Current Horn", it took eight days of "Storm Horn".
period.
Merchant ships sent by the colonies transported the women and children of the Araucan clan directly to Tortuga Island in the northern part of the Golden Sea.
Aiwen has contacted the well-connected Arawak clan in advance, and they will join the clan to balance the extremely unhealthy male to female ratio.
And the Arawak clan will also pay the equivalent price.
Even after Zenaro, who successfully took office as the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior", returned to the tribe, the tribal chiefs had begun to consider enshrining the "Tree of Life" as their new totem.
Although Aiwen didn't know what changes would happen after the mysterious source of the school was enshrined as a god, at least it shouldn't be a bad thing.
The status of women in Atrian is not high. After the tribes are attacked all the year round, according to tradition, most of the male members of the other party are killed, and then the women and young children are absorbed into the new tribe.
And there were quite a few women in the Araucan clan, who were robbed of them after they broke into other tribes, and now they are accepted by other tribes and they have not shown too much resistance.
Happy to everyone!
"Cape Storm" arrived in Hong Kong three days later.
The vicinity of Yuanfan City was originally the private property of the Emore family, but has now been renamed the largest shipyard of Mercury Dockyard, and it is also the temporary office of Mercury United Trading Company.
Dock Room No. 1 has become an exclusive working place for Aiwen and a group of auxiliary craftsmen.
Huh--
As the "vital light" slowly dissipated, the reshaping of the last slave ship was finally completed.
"call--"
After finally completing the transformation of the eight new-style privateers, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, there is no need for him to continue to do it himself in the later stage, as long as it is handed over to the craftsmen for re-outfitting.
Gazing at the masterpiece born in his own hands in the dock, Ivan nodded in satisfaction.
The long protruding bow and stern post increases the effective length of the deck. The keel has a tendency to tilt down to the tail to obtain a larger tail draft, which improves the longitudinal stability and speed of the ship.
The hull is slender and the cross section is V-shaped in the middle of the ship. The aspect ratio has been increased at the expense of the strength of the keel. It is now about 5:1.
However, as a supplement, Aiwen also added longitudinal stiffeners for them, which should not be much worse than the original.
With flat deck design, there is no superstructure on the ship. It is beneficial to reduce the resistance and facilitate the operation of the sails to grab the wind and increase the speed of the ship.
The modified "Brigentin-type brig mixed sailing ship".
It has a displacement of 210 tons and is equipped with a 24-pounder and eight 6-pounders, which is powerful enough for a small privateer.
The foremast is equipped with horizontal sails and the mainmast is equipped with vertical sails. The maximum speed can easily exceed 11 knots.
Moreover, sailing is easier than ordinary horizontal sailing boats, and the professionalism and number of sailors required for sailing are greatly reduced, and only six people can operate normally without the need for gunners.
At the same time, the new-style drawings have been delivered to the company's marine engineers and carpenters, and the first prototype ship has begun trial production.
"It's not easy. The surplus pirates can finally start working for me~EbookFREE.me~ The main body of the privateer fleet is really taking shape until today.
"Your Excellency, here are some documents that you need to read."
Hawkins, who was in the uniform of the school officer next to him, saw that Ivan was finally finished, and handed him a stack of documents. Although as a full-power agent, but some things must be signed and approved by Aiwen.
Before Hawkins became Ivan's attendant, he didn't need him to perform combat tasks, and he had come directly to work here, and he did a good job.
"Your Excellency, the construction of the headquarters building of the trading company has begun, and the recruitment of personnel has also started at the same time. The appeal of the Marquis is still amazing...
In fact, the personnel who belonged to Yuanfan's smuggling team have completed the first transaction with the Hilius Mystic Dragon colony, making a profit...
Moreover, before coming to the dock, the Lord Marquis asked me to invite you to sit in the Orange Leaf Castle again, saying that he missed you very much..."
Aiwen waved his hand to sign all the places that needed to be signed by himself, confirmed that there were no problems with the current company's operation, and casually agreed:
"okay, I get it.
Replying to Your Excellency the Marquis, I will visit him after finishing the modification of the Horn of Storm. "
Just experienced a big battle, except for Milan and the necessary left-behind personnel.
Aiwen had already sent most of the crew out, letting them go to the prosperous place in the entire New World---Yuanfan City to relax.
And before he and Milan make the bow portrait, there is still an important work to do.
That is, on the existing basis, to replace the "Storm Horn" with a steel skeleton, which greatly improves the structural strength of the fourth-class ship.
In other words, this wooden sailboat was converted into a steel ribbed wooden hull ship second only to the ironclad ship!
