Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 421: Iron Rib Wooden Shell Ship
"Extraordinary Sailing ()"
In the exclusive laboratory of "Stormhorn" Irving.
The golden gun of an excellent and extraordinary weapon seized from Ovig, lying quietly on the wooden support of the test bench, radiated brilliant and 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 appearance.
First, the front and back sides with flowers and words were quietly switched, and then the whole melted 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 spear made of pure gold is of limited value, but the technology contained in this extraordinary weapon is a valuable asset for 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 Ivan’s current abilities include various prerequisites for realizing that technology, it’s still far from reaching the level of the opponent.
But he doesn't want to belittle himself, and he still has some advantages compared with Ovig.
For now.
Using his own mine attribute ability, coupled with the "data-based vision" of activating aura and precise measurement, Ivan has been able to fully realize most of the precision processing capabilities of "artificial" machine tools.
As long as there are materials, it is easy to make guns, shipborne artillery and even relatively complex mechanical parts that do not involve essential changes.
And 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 preparations.
Another point is to make 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 ability shined!
Fluttering edge——
The sound of flapping wings suddenly interrupted Ivan's thoughts.
I saw a spiritualized 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."
Ivan's eyes lit up for an instant, 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:
"Aven, during this period of time, I, 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, all the parts that can be extracted within our authority are here..."
This is a letter from Anthony who specializes in "Alchemy Tools and Enchanting Engineering".
Because Ivan was afraid of the backward knowledge in "The Sacrifice of Flesh" and wasted this excellent raw material, he specifically asked friends far away in the kingdom to collect the knowledge of the "head of the ship" for his own reference.
Yes.
Ivan is preparing to make this very rare and extraordinary material into a powerful ship's bow!
When the large fleet crusades the "Grand Theater" controlled by the Dead Soul Box, the head of the twisted 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 galley that has long been behind the times can actually have the combat effectiveness of a quasi-legendary battleship, and knock down its own fleet.
I have to marvel at the magic of this witchcraft creation!
As for the ability of witchcraft to create things, it is obvious that in the entire material world, it is difficult for anyone to brag about surpassing the alchemy school.
Moreover, the scope of their collection of materials is not only limited to the "Violet Eye" library and the private collection 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 Irving, who is no longer what it used to be.
Even this knowledge is of great value to the outside world.
If it were not for the inheritance of the "living chemistry school", there was no technology specifically aimed at witchcraft creation like the bow of the ship three or four hundred years ago, and Ivan would not have resorted to others for help.
"Yes, yes, next time I mail the "extract potion" to the crown prince, I won't forget you."
I read it eagerly in one breath, 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, none of the Totem God's power sources remain. "
Take out two huge sapphires from the looting of the golden post road from the magic pocket, and after looking at it quietly for a while, Ivan suddenly thought of someone.
With her knowledge of witchcraft materials like gems, she should be able to provide a lot of ideas for herself, right?
So he took out the hyacinth leaf and wrote gently on it:
"Miss Moonstone, hello! Please forgive me for taking the liberty..."
......
A smooth ride down the bay near Kashoel.
Even with the duality of "Monsoon Goddess" and "Ocean Current Horn", it took eight days of "Storm Horn".
Period.
A merchant ship sent by the colony transported the women and children of the Aroucan clan directly to Tortuga Island in the northern part of the Golden Sea.
Ivan 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 up the post of the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior", returned to the tribe, the tribal chiefs have begun to consider enshrining the "Tree of Life" as their new totem.
Although Ivan doesn't know what changes will happen when the mysterious source of the school is 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 are quite a few women in the Araukhan clan, who were robbed of other tribes after they broke into them, and now they are accepted by other tribes and they have not shown too much resistance.
Everyone is happy!
Three days after "Cape Storm" arrived in Hong Kong.
The vicinity of Yuanfan City was originally the private property of the Emore family, but has now been renamed as 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 "revitalizing aura" slowly dissipated, the reshaping of the last slave ship was finally completed.
"Call—"
Finally completed the transformation of the eight new-style privateers, and Ivan heaved 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.
Looking at the masterpiece born in his own hands in the docking room, Ivan nodded with satisfaction.
Long protruding bow and stern posts increase 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.
Using a 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 seize the wind and increase the speed of the ship.
The modified "Brigentin-type brig mixed sailboat".
It has a displacement of 210 tons and is equipped with one 24-pounder and eight six-pounder, 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 eleven knots.
Furthermore, sailing is easier than ordinary horizontal sailing ships, and the professionalism and number of sailors required for the sails are greatly reduced. 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~IndoMTL.com~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 papers. Although as a full-power agent, but some things must be signed and approved by Aiwen.
After 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 started, 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 the Yuanfan leader smuggling team have completed the first transaction with the Hilius Mystic Dragon colony, making a profit...
Besides, before coming to the dock, the Lord Marquis asked me to invite you to sit at the Orange Leaf Castle again, saying that he missed you very much..."
Ivan waved his hand to sign all the places that needed to be signed by himself, confirmed that there was no problem with the current operation of the company, and casually agreed:
"Okay, I see.
Reply to Your Excellency the Marquis, I will visit him after finishing the modification of the Horn of Storm. "
Just went through a big battle, except for Milan and the necessary left-behind personnel.
Ivan has already sent most of the crew out to relax in Yuanfan City, one of the few prosperous places in the entire New World.
Before he and Milan make the bow portrait, there is still an important job to do.
That is, on the existing basis, to replace the "Storm Horn" with a steel skeleton, which greatly improves the structural strength of this fourth-class ship.
In other words, this wooden sailboat was converted into a steel ribbed wooden hull ship second only to the ironclad ship!
