Chapter 593 Final Assembly Completed

In today’s era of sail battleships where giant ships and cannons are in power, theoretically the larger the size, The more guns on the ship, the stronger the battle strength.

This is also the origin of the initial grading standards for the military Level 6 battleship of various countries.

One of the typical representatives is the Cyrus Empire, which has been brewing for a long time but finally died.

The designed displacement is 5,826 tons, the fourth layer artillery deck, and 170 various ship-borne artillery pieces, built by the “Curse School”.

It should be known that the most powerful Level 1 battleships in each sea power country currently have no more than 110 naval guns. When the blueprint becomes reality, it will surely become a real maritime hegemon, and no battleship is qualified to be its opponent.

The thinking of ship engineers is obviously limited to the attack method of the front-mounted smoothbore gun, and strives to maximize the formidable power of the artillery fire. In an era when accuracy depends entirely on luck, as a mobile turret at sea, of course, the more artillery it is loaded, the stronger it will be.

But this is all based on the current state of the art.

At least from the perspective of Alwin’s detached era, there is no positive correlation between the battleship’s battle strength, battlefield adaptability and body size. Even if an aircraft carrier wants to exert its battle strength, it needs the cooperation of an entire aircraft carrier battle group, not to mention the trifling sail battleships of this era.

From sailing battleships to steam ironclads to modern warships. Alwin has a complete technology upgrade route in his brain, and of course he is ready to do it all in one step.

As for the shipbuilding industry technology, what should I do? Technology is not magic enough to make up.

And isn’t witchcraft enough? Krypton gold to collect!

However, the specific shipbuilding steps are still carried out in a general way, hull component processing → hull structure final assembly → launching → outfitting → sea trial → completion of construction.

The dock in Hatrapa is undoubtedly substandard if it is required according to normal shipbuilding facility standards.

When the hull is built, the inclination of 1/20 towards the sea is maintained, and the keel pier and the web pier are arranged here, and the hull is assembled on it. Considering the needs of launching, most of the slipways will pre-determine the position of the launching platform, and some also set up structures and tracks for launching.

In the course of several years of construction, a series of equipment, facilities, and construction steps were extremely complicated, but at this time they were all replaced by Alwin’s witchcraft.

And his first step shipbuilding plan was not years but hours.

Phew—

Around the vibrant emerald green brilliance, the sound of the rustling of vegetation continued to reverberate in the large dock.

One by one, the bark was stripped off and the quality of the sapwood was slightly inferior, leaving only the “treasure tree” with dark core wood, which was reinfused with vitality and kept wriggling with the people around him. The boat material grows back together.

In the astonishing eyes of onlookers.

First, it completely merged into a giant tree lying down, and then slowly turned into a huge spindle-shaped wooden cocoon supported by twenty sturdy roots and one meter above the ground. The length is close to one hundred and forty meters.

At this time, the right to control the growth direction of this “giant tree” has been completely handed over to Alwin, and An Qi is only used as an assistant to stabilize the “living spirit transformation light”.

Extraordinary ship material, almost impossible for mortals to machine with precision, was as soft as plasticine in his hands.

The first step, keel shaping.

It is the first step that marks the beginning of shipbuilding: laying the keel.

The reason why a sail battleship must have a keel is that the high-quality wood is used to splicing to make square wood. After being used as a longitudinal bottom member, it is very convenient to build a wooden boat and ensure the subsequent structural strength.

Such a keel extends to both ends of the bow and stern, and is then spliced with wooden boards. It is not only the end-to-end connection of the wooden boards, but also the largest force support in the hull frame, ensuring that the battleship will not fall apart in the wind and waves.

But for modern warships, they are all made of high-strength steel structures, and the bearing capacity has been dispersed to the entire hull. Although it is still called “keel”, it is no longer in the sense of sail battleship. “Dragon bone”.

In Alwin’s design for the “V” bottom of the battleship, in addition to the inner keel or the middle stringer inside the battleship, the bottom plate of the middle longitudinal line is also a part of the keel, which is called the flat keel, the bow The stern extends to meet the fore and stern posts.

Even most modern large warships are simply built in sections and then welded later. Excellent materials ensure the structural strength of the hull.

I just don’t know how long the family property accumulated in the kingdom was emptied when the “Steam Fortress”, which was 120 meters long and had a displacement of 5,000 tons, was built using all-metal materials.

rustling and rustling

The spindle-shaped “cocoon” in the midair, following the command of Alwin, began to deform a little from the bottom of the ship and turned into an overall “V” shape , the internal middle inner keel, side inner keel, rib, water hole and other structures are formed in turn.

Under the precise control of “Data Vision”, even the deviation of two decimal places is impossible.

Of course.

As a naturally grown material, “Treasure Tree” does not escape the common problems of wood. The interior is actually composed of many xylem fibers arranged in parallel. The strength of the connection between these fibers , far less than the interior of the entire fiber.

At this point, it is not like steel is in a crystalline state at the microscopic level, but is completely coherent at the macroscopic level, which determines that steel has good macroscopic mechanical properties and mechanical conductivity properties.

However.

For the wood that has grown and felled, although mortals can’t do anything about it, they can’t beat Alwin at all.

In the process of re-growth and shaping, the wood fibers, which are more flexible than steel wires, woven and crossed themselves like snakes and turned into mesh-like reinforcing bars inside the hull structure.

A special physical structure that is difficult to create even with modern technology, making it stronger and more resilient than pure specialty steel.

In this process, there is no tenon-and-mortise structure, no iron nails and iron crutches, let alone welding. The ability to rubbing and kneading around the ship at will, like a battleship grown from a living tree, without any structural weaknesses.

Second Step, the bilge build.

There is no need for dozens or hundreds of broadside guns like sail battleships, so Alwin canceled the front and rear transparent artillery decks, and adopted a more reliable watertight cabin design below the waterline.

Third Step,

In the flash of aura, no one in the group of bystanders was willing to take their eyes away.

That’s it.

After the “big tree” continued to grow non-stop for three full hours, the [Activated Hands] marked with emerald green light finally began to gradually dissipate.

The “cocoon” originally supported by twenty roots has completely changed into a different shape, which is a long and narrow battleship with a very futuristic sense.

The surface of the hull has a matte black metallic luster, and there is no trace of the original wooden ship at all.

There are hardly any vertical planes in the superstructure, and all structures are slightly sloped, as if they were made up of huge rhombuses.

In the middle of the battleship in the superstructure, a tower with a height of nearly 12 meters is formed, and the front and rear are low and smooth. The deck is full of large and small regular holes, which are obviously for later installation. Some of the devices have reserved places.

On the surface, it almost completely subverts the design concept of sailing battleships in this era, not to mention the more complex structures inside the battleship.

“Although it looks a little weird, it doesn’t even have broadside holes, but if there is one word to describe it, it’s cool!”

Calvin’s words attracted everyone’s attention Unanimously agree.

Not to mention the core of battleship, the design aesthetics beyond the times have conquered everyone.

At this time, the total length of the hull is 132 meters, the width of the side is 16 meters, and the thickest part of the hull is close to one meter, which is already different from that of a Level 1 battleship. The standard displacement after outfitting is 2,000. Eight hundred tons.

In fact, the thickness of the shell steel plate of modern 10,000-ton warships is only a little more than 1 cm, and even the shell steel plate of large seagoing ships is generally only 2 to 5 cm. Alwin is bullying people entirely by virtue of the excellent performance of the “Treasure Tree”, and the defensive power of the hull is not different from that of a one-meter-thick steel plate.

It is conceivable that even an alchemical artillery with a muzzle velocity of 933 m/s, a projectile weight and a range of 95.9 kg and a range of 40 km would be saddened to see it in this era.

After all, even if it is a special armor-piercing projectile, the armor piercing ability is measured in millimeters, and it is amazing enough to penetrate 160mm armor at a distance of one thousand meters.

Including the M829A3 depleted uranium alloy armor-piercing projectile known as the strongest in the world, the maximum penetration is only 900 mm.

With this level of armor, this battleship can almost ignore all conventional weapons in this world.

Of course, the opponent of “Legendary battleship” will always only be “Legendary battleship”, and it’s completely hard to say what kind of attack will be encountered when the time comes.

In the end, Alwin mysteriously and secretly made two pieces of steel shaft-like accessories that had been manufactured in advance, and inserted them into the holes reserved in the stern, and then installed two pieces of two-person high-four. Leafy golden-bright and dazzling paddles.

The main body of the battleship is now fully declared complete.

The long sailing collar, which has long been one of the pillars of the shipbuilding industry and the transportation industry, obviously will not waste Nymph, the representative of peak productivity. In terms of shipbuilding technology alone, even in the entire human world The great wizard also has a place in it.

But this elegant and poised lady looked at the strange main body of the warship and couldn’t help but wonder:

“Alwin, does this battleship have no masts and sails? How to drive it?”

Pulling An Qi away from the rough battleship, Alwin smiled at Nymph Mysterious:

“Go, can you move, let’s try it out Do you know if you try it?”

Pop——!

Snapped his fingers.

The cloud of azure is surging, and twenty roots are shrinking like a ripe melon, and the battleship is also disappeared. When it reappears, it has entered the lake outside the [Witchcraft Garden].

There were no waves at all during the water entry process, which minimized damage during mechanical movement, which is also the main reason why “outfitting” came after “launching” in the shipbuilding process.

Next second.

Everyone in the dock had fallen on the deck of the battleship, cautiously following Alwin into the tower, to what he called the bridge.

After the hull assembly is completed and successfully launched, the next step is battleship outfitting.

It’s just like decorating after getting the rough house, water and electricity pipes, floors, furniture. One after another is complete. For battleship, it is the installation of combat, support, navigation system, and of course the most critical step – activation of ship spirit and extraordinary transformation!
