The navigation of ships in the water and the flight of air creatures are in many ways connected.

Da Liang took out the principle that griffin formation flight can reduce drag to solve the problem of resistance encountered by ships sailing, which is completely feasible.

"Yes, yes, every day watching the griffons fly overhead, I never thought that their formation flight method can be applied to the design of the ship, think of a ship as a griffin flight formation, we add a device on the bow of the ship as a griffin to lead the flight, this device will produce a reverse current when it is pushed forward." With a real-life phenomenon to refer to, it shows that the idea is not whimsical and can be realized. Guise became a little excited, and he quickly drew a sketch of a ship on the blackboard, and then added a bulbous bow to the bottom of the bow.

A simple installation allows Gise to completely immerse himself in his own world, with lines appearing on the blackboard, and with a bright eye, he can only guess the function of these lines.

However, Da Liang was not in a hurry to add the bulbous bow to the dhow of his own design.

The bulbous bow is now only a feasible theory, and it is not that the addition of a bulbous bow to the ship will necessarily increase the speed. Its position, shape, size, and even material need to be calculated accurately, otherwise the retrograde currents created by the addition of a bulbous bow will increase the resistance encountered by the ship.

And when it comes to the bulbous bow of a wooden sailing ship, there is probably no better expert in the world than Guise.

A genius in ship design, a designer of speed-type ships sought after by pirates, and an old guy who was the first to study the lateral resistance of ships.

Guise has all the ingredients to study the bulbous bow.

Therefore, Da Liang does not need and does not have the ability to study the bulbous bow now, he only needs to wait for Guise to study it, and then teach himself how to design it.

When Guise began to study the bulbous bow, Da Liang suddenly found that the imaginary nervous ship design teaching did not appear. And if Guise does not come up with the research of the bulbous bow successfully, Da Liang's next step of the dhow design will not be able to be carried out, and the study of ship design will be stuck here.

What are you doing?

The naval battles between the University Alliance and the Lords' Alliance continued.

Xu Man adhered to the strategy of defending the south and attacking the north, and with the blueprints of the dhow provided by Daliang and the financial support of the gold merchants, the Yunxiao Fleet under the University Alliance expanded the number of dhow warships to more than 500.

A large number of dhow warships formed wolf packs in the sea, and they established a nautical identification isolation zone in the sea area from Hangzhou to Shangjiang. All player ships that pass north and south, as long as they are not ships designated by Shangjiang and Jinshang, all merchant ships need to pay a high sea crossing fee to pass, and all warships are prohibited from sailing.

If you want to pass without spending money, you can only take a detour, and the detour will delay time.

Shangjiang is located in the middle of the coast of China, the key position of north-south currency, and the university alliance is here to seal the sea, making players and maritime merchants complain.

Xu Man explained on behalf of the University Alliance.

I can't help it, the lords are going to block me if they are full. My merchant ship can't get out, my guild has to operate, and our hundreds of thousands of college alliance players can only collect sea fees here if they want to survive. Want to save that money? Yes, let those lords end all hostile actions against the University Alliance, stop malicious attacks on the ships of the University Alliance, and we can make our own money, and we don't need to charge sea fees anymore.

Through the offensive of public opinion, the university alliance transferred its contradictions with maritime players to the lord's alliance.

When their own interests were damaged, those maritime players who watched the excitement began to point the finger at the lord alliance.

The reason for the blockade of the University Alliance by the Lords Alliance is because of the competition for the gold mines, and now that they have robbed the gold mines, it is a bit too deceitful to suppress the University Alliance, and the most important thing is that it has affected the maritime trade in China.

However, the lords have not heard the voices of maritime players, and for these lords, the University Alliance and the Sky Collar are an outlier, the lackeys of the gold merchants.

In the future, whether the lords can be on an equal footing with the gold merchants in the financial economy depends on whether they can defeat the university alliance this time.

"Sometimes war is about patience, and whoever can hold out until the last moment will win. In this battle, our materials are being lost in large quantities, and the university alliance will only lose more than us. Now they have the support of the gold merchants, and they can hold on, but the gold merchants are not philanthropists, and when they feel our determination and realize that all their investment in the university alliance is in vain, they will stop this confrontation without any return, and then it will be our victory. ”

Shi Fei strengthened the determination of the lords to fight this confrontation.

No matter how much trouble the players and seamen make, they can only get over it, and they don't dare to use force against the powerful lord alliance, because this ocean will eventually return to the victorious side, and the lords show much stronger force and potential than the university alliance.

The Juggernaut Legion continued to provide low-cost sloop shipbuilding blueprints to the lords, and actively organized fleets to break through the quarantine established by the University Alliance at sea.

The University Alliance did not completely pin its hopes on the war of public opinion, and the Yunxiao Fleet maintained the navigation identification quarantine zone on the south side while strengthening the offensive against the lords of the Yellow Sea, and the Dongyue Territory located on the Jiaozhou Peninsula became the main target of the Yunxiao Domain.

As teams of players take shape, lords with strong military power begin to reveal the exact location of their territories. A thriving territory can increase the cohesion of guild members, and it can also bring commercial returns to investors and attract more investment.

Dongyue Ling is located in Weihai City, which is located at the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, near the mouth of the Yellow Sea, is a city with a very advantageous geographical location, not only has rich marine resources, but also has huge potential inland river resources.

The good location has attracted a large number of investors to Dongyue Ling, and the construction of this territory has always been in a world-leading position.

The Dongyue Territory has already begun to advance to the fourth-level territory, second only to Taiwan's Sun Moon God Territory in terms of the development speed of the territory in China, far lower than the Longxing Territory, which has already begun to upgrade the fifth-level territory, and ranks tied for third with Liaoning's Tianyu Territory.

In the Battle of Shangjiang, Dongyue Ling was the main participant in the attack on the University Alliance, and it was also the main object of the University Alliance's offensive to the north.

Although there were no large-scale naval battles between the warships of the two sides in the waters of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, this kind of small-scale sudden confrontation at sea became more intense. Each fleet came up with a desperate end, and naval battles often ended with one side being sunk entirely.
