The Cursed Ship Chapter 135: Visit and exchange
, on both sides of the bow of the spirit ship, there is another ladder beside the hatch. After opening a section of the fence, it is not difficult to get up and down.
Zheng Yang took the lead to climb down, and then met the others. They are all extraordinary, in fact they can jump over three or four meters away, but in front of ordinary people, they have to behave like ordinary people should be.
Surrounded by a group of Spaniards, Zheng Yang visited and talked with Galif.
"My ancestor was a commander of the Spanish Invincible Fleet in the past century!"
Galiff's words made Zheng Yang awe.
The realistic background of this background can really scare people. A big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years will ask you if you are awesome.
"My family has inherited the manufacturing drawings of ancient battleships, but modern ships use steel, so they have no useful value. But I like those wooden ancient battleships very much, and I spent a lot of money on ancient research It took three full years to build the St. Mary’s shipbuilding technology."
Ghalif talked about his proud achievements, and his pride came to his face.
Kalux also said: "This guy has invested more than 30 million back and forth. It's really hard to believe that his family didn't put him in confinement. However, I also like this boat, you know what, I'm not only The first mate of the Saint Mary is still one of her engineers!"
Galiff smiled triumphantly: "The research process requires a lot of money, but now we have truly mastered the technology, and building a ship like the St. Mary will not use that much capital, up to two million! "
"Of course my next ship will be bigger than the St. Mary, and it will be bigger than yours!"
Zheng Yang knocked on the hull deck and found that it was made of three layers of 5-8 cm thick log boards. It made a crisp sound when struck, and the hardness was very scary. It was obviously soaked in tung oil for a long time.
It’s no wonder that the balance of the hull is so good after boarding. The dead weight of the hull alone is more than twice that of the spirit ship, and the draught is much deeper.
Needless to say, if the defensive bonus of the spirit ship magic circle is not counted, the defense of this battleship is definitely much higher than that of his spirit ship.
The cost of shipbuilding is estimated to be mainly on these woods.
The cabin is built in steps, the stern is the tallest, and the interior decoration is several grades higher than that of Zheng Yang's ship. It is full of modern style like the clubhouse.
The space utilization rate inside this battleship is also much higher than that of the spirit ship. The hull is smaller than the spirit ship, but there are more than 30 rooms? Each is only six square meters.
The row of blastholes in the lower cabin is actually all the windows of the guest room? Of course, if the artillery is really installed, it is just like an ancient battleship.
And the living room? It’s not as wasteful as Zheng Yang’s? It doesn’t have the fancy facilities of a home theater and entertainment gym, let alone the big captain’s bedroom and VIP room on the Louling ship? Even special. There are no fishing areas.
In Galif’s words, is the deck so big? Where can’t you go fishing?
But there are special restaurants and small bars on the battleship? This makes Zheng Yang very disagreeable.
The biggest commonality between the two sides is the use of solar energy. The battleship is not only the roof, but also the deck is covered with photovoltaic panels, covered with high-strength plexiglass.
I will finish the tour soon? Including the design of the keel structure and the shape of the hull? As well as the design of the sail, Zheng Yang is very impressed.
The self-optimization ability of the spirit ship is only optimized on the basis of his ideas to avoid some errors and defects. The thoughts gained from these visits can give Zheng Yang a better idea in the general direction.
"Did you know? Sailboats are theoretically more capable of resisting storms than modern motor boats. As long as you run downwind when you encounter a storm? Let it ride the waves downwind, the stronger the wind, the faster you run? Just control it and not hit the rocks. In theory, a ship will never be overturned. On the contrary, modern motor boats may be overturned by huge waves because of their slow speed..."
Zheng Yang disagrees with this. He has been to the Ross Sea? Has personally been through a Category 12 hurricane environment? Know how terrifying the pressure on the hull of a ship in a real hurricane environment is? It is not just running.
Next, it was Galif and others' turn to board the upstairs boat to visit.
The pattern on the spirit ship stunned these people.
"Your sails are raised and lowered automatically, which is amazing!"
"Oh my God, you really enjoy it. This is the car of the noble lord, right?"
"Ha, you have such a large lower cabin unused. What are you going to do to run cargo with such a beautiful ship? You are really..."
"The keel compartment is sealed? It's a shame... it's not good, because you can't check and discover the conditions inside in time, there will be safety hazards!"
In the end, Galif touched the logs and hesitated.
Zheng Yang smiled bitterly: "Go ahead, I know, this material is very fragile. But I can't get your kind of good wood, can you tell me where I can get it?"
Ghalif smiled: "The kind of wood is called teak. It is made in Africa. There is a large coastline over there. It is full of this kind of good wood. However, it is very difficult to obtain them. You have to ask the local indigenous people to help saw it. , And then transport it back for processing!"
"The most troublesome thing is that there are pirates over there, who will kidnap and blackmail us, so we need to hire mercenaries to protect us all the time!"
Zheng Yang is indeed surprised. His knowledge of the African environment is limited to deserts and jungles. He did not expect that there is such good wood.
"Zheng, if you want this kind of wood, we can go harvesting together. I have to prepare for my next big boat, this time the boat must be bigger!"
Zheng Yang immediately moved and asked: "When will I go?"
"Let's go in another month, we will contact you at the specific time, okay?"
"Of course, I want to drive my boat to explore there too!"
The two immediately exchanged satellite phone numbers.
At the time of parting, Galif asked Zheng Yang: "Where are you going next?"
"Keep going south, just walk around!"
"Oh~IndoMTL.com~I'm returning. If you have time, you are welcome to visit my shipyard. We are already friends, right?"
"Of course, I will definitely go there once before going to Africa!"
……
The two parties then said goodbye and each continued on their own itinerary.
It was close to noon, and Elima and Laura also began to prepare lunch.
"It's incredible, we actually saw a real ancient battleship!" Until then, Seyulali was still a little shook.
Lophne also shook her head and said: "I didn't expect that besides your family, there are other people who will engage in this ancient sailing ship!"
"There will be two, and there will definitely be three. It's just rare!"
Although Zheng Yang said so, it was actually unexpected, otherwise he would not be so excited when meeting.
But with such an example, your own ship will not seem too shocking.
