Chapter 421 Iron-ribbed wood-hulled ship
“Cape Storm” in Alwin’s exclusive laboratory.
The yellow golden spear, an excellent and extraordinary weapon seized from Ovig’s hands, lay quietly on the wooden support of the test bench, and radiated a brilliant extraordinary aura under the soft light of the chandelier.
Hey —
While observing its structure through the various detection witchcraft of the Living Chemistry School, a gold coin in Alwin’s hand flashed with electric light, slowly changing its shape .
First, the front and back sides with flowers and characters cast respectively are quietly switched, and then the whole melts into a mini Golden Lion, seagull, sailboat
Obviously, Ovig’s kind used to be in the When refining gold long spear, the ability to apply thunder and lightning displayed gave Alwin a lot of inspiration.
To him, a long spear made of pure gold is of limited value in itself, but the technology contained in this extraordinary weapon is an invaluable asset to Alwin.
It can be said that it is a magical technology independent of general wizard alchemy, not only the shape of gold, but even the physical properties are also changed by him at the same time.
Although Alwin’s current capabilities already contain various prerequisites for realizing that technology, it is still far from reaching the level of the other party.
But he doesn’t undervalue oneself either, and he still has some advantages compared to Ovig.
For now.
Alwin has fully realized most of the precision machining capabilities of “artificial” machine tools by using his Thunder Attribute capability, combined with the “data-based vision” of live spirit transformation light and precise measurement.
As long as there are materials, it is with no difficulty to make muskets, ship-borne artillery and even relatively complex mechanical parts that do not involve essential changes.
And after this mission is over, head to Yuanfan Leader.
The most important purpose is to deal with this sea shark Totem column, and by the way, reshape the eight brig slave ships that have almost completed the preparatory work.
Another point is to make a subversive modification to the “Cape of the Storm” to make it as close as possible to the standard of the quasi-Legendary battleship.
That’s when this precision machining capability shines!
Flickering—
The sound of wings flapping suddenly interrupted Alwin’s thoughts.
He saw a Spirit Physique-shaped seagull messenger suddenly emerged from the air in front of him, placing a letter sent via the Spirit World beacon on the table.
“Oh? This guy Anthony is very efficient.”
Alwin’s eyes lit up for a moment, and he stretched out his long-awaited letter.
There are a total of five valuable spirituality letterheads, and the more valuable ones are densely packed with small characters and painted graphics:
“Alwin, during this time I, Dilis, and Alva are really going to break their legs. When you come back, don’t forget to compensate us.
But the results are good, and we can extract them within our authority. Parts are already here”
This is a letter from Anthony, who specializes in “Alchemy Tools and Enchanting Engineering”.
Because Alwin was afraid that some backward knowledge in “Rite of Flesh” would waste this excellent raw material, he specially asked friends from far away in the kingdom to collect the knowledge of “Ship Head Statue” for himself. refer to.
Exactly.
Alwin is ready to make this very rare and extraordinary material into a powerful head statue!
When the Great Fleet was used to defeat the “Colosseum”, which was driven by the Dead Soul Box, the distorted head of the ship, which also had the power of the third rank, really impressed him too deeply.
Only by virtue of the head portrait, a rag-tag galley that has long been behind the times can have the battle strength of a quasi-Legendary battleship, and it will beat its own fleet to the ground.
Have to marvel at the magic of this witchcraft creation!
As for the ability of witchcraft creations, it is obvious that no one in the entire material world dares to boast that it surpasses the alchemy school.
In addition, 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 includes their family collection.
For Anthony and the others, it’s no problem for Anthony and the others to get some basic knowledge that doesn’t involve core secrets for Alwin, who has changed a lot.
Even if this knowledge is invaluable to the outside world.
Alwin wouldn’t have turned to anyone else three-four hundred years ago if it weren’t for the inheritance of the “living chemical school” that specifically targeted sorcerer creations like the bow of a ship.
“Yes, yes, I won’t forget you when I mail the ‘extraction potion’ to the crown prince next time.”
I read it in one breath, especially a few of them. This kind of ready-made production case greatly expands Alwin’s ideas.
Gradually, an initial manufacturing plan based on the inheritance of the “living chemical school” and supported by the knowledge of the “alchemy school” has begun to take shape in his mind.
“The only thing that is undecided now is the coexistence of external energy sources and Ovig’s residual power.
At least among the raw materials of normal head statues, there is no Totem god. The source of power remains.”
Take out two huge sapphires from the golden sack Dao Tribulation from the magic pocket, and quietly scrutinized for a while, Alwin suddenly thought of a person.
With her knowledge of the magic material such as gems, she should be able to provide herself with a lot of ideas, right?
So he took out the hyacinth leaf and wrote lightly on it:
“Hello, Miss Moonstone! Please forgive me”
Downwind from the bay near Cabhurst.
Even with the double of “Monsoon Goddess” and “Clarion of Ocean Current”, it took “Horn of Storms” eight days.
Period.
A merchant ship sent by the colony transported the women and children of the Araucan clan directly to Tortuga Island in the north of the golden sea.
Alwin has made contact with 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 pay the same price.
Even after Zenaro, who successfully served as the “Life Tree Totem Warrior”, returned to the clan, the tribal chiefs have begun to consider enshrining the “Life Tree” as their new Totem.
Alwin doesn’t know what will happen after the mysterious source of the school is enshrined as a god, but at least it shouldn’t be a bad thing.
The status of women in Atrian is not high. After years of fighting between tribes, most of them kill all the male members of each other according to tradition, and then absorb women and young children into the new tribe.
In the Araukan clan, there were already quite a few women. They were taken from them after they had conquered other tribes. Now they were accepted by other tribes and did not show too much resistance.
Everyone is happy!
The Cape Storm arrived three days later.
The vicinity of Far Sail City originally belonged to the private property of the Eymore family. It has now been renamed the largest shipyard of the Mercury Dock, and is also the temporary office of the Mercury United Trading Company.
Dock Room 1 has become the exclusive workplace for Alwin and a group of auxiliary craftsmen.
Shhh——
As the “living spirit transformation light” slowly dissipated, the reshaping of the last slave ship was finally completed.
“Whoo—”
The transformation of the eight new privateers finally completed, Alwin let out a long sigh of relief.
At this step, he does not need to continue to do it himself in the later stage, as long as it is handed over to the craftsmen for re-fitting.
Watching the masterpiece in the dock room, born in his own hands, Alwin nodded with satisfaction.
Long protruding bow and stern posts increase the effective length of the deck. The keel has a tendency to dip down to the tail section to obtain a larger tail draft, which improves the longitudinal stability and speed of the vessel.
The hull is slender and the cross section is V-shaped amidships, increasing the aspect ratio at the expense of keel strength, now about 5:1.
However, as a supplement, Alwin also added longitudinal stiffeners for them, which is not much worse than the original.
Using a flat deck design without any superstructure on board. It is beneficial to reduce the resistance, and it is easy to maneuver the sail and increase the speed of the boat.
Refitted “Brigantine Brig”.
Displacement of 210 tons, equipped with 1 24-pound gun and 8 6-pound guns, the firepower is strong enough for a small privateer.
The foremast is equipped with horizontal sails, and the main mast is equipped with longitudinal sails. The maximum speed can easily break through eleven knots.
In addition, it is easier to maneuver the sails than ordinary cross-boats, and the professionalism and number of sailors required for the sails are greatly reduced. In the case of no gunners, only six people are required to operate it normally.
Meanwhile, the new blueprint has been delivered to the company’s marine engineers and carpenters, and the first prototype has already started trial production.
“It’s not easy, the surplus pirates can finally start working for me.”
The main body of the privateer fleet has only really taken shape today.
“Your Excellency General, there are some documents here for you to read.”
Hawkins, next to him in the uniform of a colonel, saw that Alwin had finally finished his work, and handed him a stack of documents. . Although acting as a full authority, there are certain things that must be signed by Alwin.
Since Hawkins became Alwin’s squire before, he didn’t need him to perform combat missions, 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 very amazing.
In fact, it belongs to the smuggling team led by Yuanfan. Personnel, I have completed the first transaction with the Cyrus Mysterious Dragon Colony and made a profit
Moreover, before coming to the dock, His Excellency the Marquis asked me to invite you to take a seat at Orange Leaf Castle again, saying yes I miss you very much.”
Alwin waved his hand and signed all the places that need to be signed by himself, confirming that there is no problem with the current operation of the company, and casually agreed:
“Okay, I know
Reply to His Excellency the Marquis, I will visit him after finishing the modification of the ‘Storm Horn’ here.”
Just experienced a big battle, except for Milan and the necessary except for those left behind.
Alwin has sent most of the crew out to relax in Far Sail City, a bustling place that the entire new continent can be counted on one’s fingers.
And he and Milan have an important job to do before they can make the head portrait.
That is, on the existing basis, to replace the “Storm Horn” with a steel skeleton, which greatly improves the structural strength of this Level 4 ship.
In other words, this wooden sailboat is converted into an iron-ribbed wooden-hulled ship second only to ironclads!
