Chapter 56: Battleships

A junior ship designer can design a sloop-class ship; A mid-class ship designer can design a brig-class ship; Senior ship designers can design three-masted ships; Ship Designer can design battleships.

Battleships were divided into five classes, according to the number of guns on board:

Five-tier battleships with artillery 50-60

Battleship of the fourth rank, artillery 60-70

Battleships of the third rank, artillery 70-80

Battleship of the second class, artillery 80-90

Battleship of the first rank, artillery 90+

The increase in artillery means that the hull will become larger, and at the same time, it means that the battleship will be attacked more, and the hull defense capability will inevitably need to be strengthened.

And when the hull becomes larger and heavier, it is a huge burden on itself.

In addition, unlike warships below the three-masted class, which have a mature design and structure, basically a skilled senior ship designer can easily design a three-masted battleship.

And the design of the battleship is still in a little bit of exploration, even if it is a master ship designer, he does not dare to guarantee that the battleship he designed is perfect.

Therefore, the design of the battleship was a great test for every ship designer.

The materials of surface ships will not use a lot of alchemical materials to reduce the weight of the hull like the space warships.

Therefore, with conventional materials, a design mistake can cause the battleship to be crushed by its own weight, and at the same time, a battleclass cannot only bear its own weight, it needs to carry a large number of personnel, materials, and can withstand the recoil generated by artillery salvos.

Precisely because the design of battleships is still in the process of exploration, the largest battleship in the whole world is currently a third-class battleship, and second-class battleships and first-class battleships are still only in theory, and no city has a stronger surface battleship than a third-class battleship.

With 80 guns, the Conqueror is also outstanding among third-tier battleships, how could its designer be in Flea Street.

Keith smiled in the face of Da Liang's suspicion: "Whether the Conqueror was designed by me, you can ask Joyce." As for why I'm here, you don't need to know. Now tell me what your dragon corpse wants to get from me. Gold, treasure, or I'll give you a few blueprints of a three-masted battleship? ”

"I want blueprints for a third-class battleship, a battleship as powerful as the Conqueror."

Hahaha, guarding a master ship designer, isn't it a head show to ask for a three-masted battleship? It's definitely going to be battleship drawings.

Surface warships don't need special shipbuilding materials, basically they can be built as long as the gold coins are in place, is there a difference in money?

Hahaha......

If you want a battleship, you can't even look at it if you are below the third level, and when the ten-story battleship is put on the sea, you don't need to rob it, and no one dares not to pay protection money from port to port.

Just when Da Liang imagined himself standing on the bridge of the Conqueror, Guise said, "No, now I can't design battleships, you can change your requirements." ”

Can't design a battleship?

What are you kidding, is there any talk of downgrading for master ship designers?

"Master Guise, why can't you design battleships, aren't you the ones who designed the nine battleships here?"

Guise sighed: "Yes, these nine battleships were all designed by me, fifth, fourth, third, everything went very smoothly, just after I successfully designed the Conqueror, I was extremely confident and ready to attack the second-class battleships that only existed in theory." ”

Hearing Guise say that he began to design a second-class battleship, although he guessed the result, Da Liang couldn't help but nervously ask: "How is it, has it succeeded?" ”

"No," Guise's voice was full of melancholy, "I failed. Then, after many failures, I found that according to the current ship design ideas and construction, it is absolutely impossible to design a second-class battleship. So I started to create new design ideas and a whole new hull internals, the body of the undead could allow me to work endlessly, but my mental strength could not handle such an exertion. So, something terrible happened to me.

I forgot all the ideas for the design of battleships, to be precise, the old ideas and the new ones were completely mixed, there were contradictions everywhere, and I could no longer design battleships.

That's why I came to Flea Street, and I wanted to get my mind back to myself by carving these ship models.

Every battleship is unique, and I can't design a new battleship, and I don't have battleship blueprints to exchange the corpse of the golden dragon. ”

I see, no wonder Joyce actually let a master ship designer on Flea Street, but without a battleship, does he really need a few drawings of a three-masted battleship?

No, this is a triggered mission!

Da Liang hurriedly said, "Can I help in any way?" I am friends with the Prophet, and his friends are my friends. Moreover, I think the Prophet asked me to come to you, perhaps not simply because you need the corpse of the golden dragon, but because he had a hunch that I could help you. ”

Pull the tiger skin to make a big flag, and that's how the magic stick is used.

Since Guise knew the prophet, he should have experienced the prophet's ability to "intercept data" prophecy. Then my brother will use the prophet as a stepping stone to take this task down.

If you can cure the current state of Guise's confused thinking, you can get a third-class battleship blueprint at the most, and if you're lucky, you can get a second-class battleship blueprint.

That's a big guy with a minimum of 80+ guns, and a magic amplification device, ordinary air and space battleships don't dare to provoke, if the ship is built quickly, it is likely to be the first second-class battleship in the entire world, and the battleship that the system city does not have.

Hahaha...... It's up to the prophet to bluff Guise.

Sure enough, Gith fell into deep thought after listening to Da Liang's words.

After waiting for a while, Keith said, "No, you are not friends with the Prophet, nor am I friends with the Prophet, and you don't even know who the Prophet really is. But...... Perhaps, as you say, the Prophet has not only asked you to come to me because I need the corpse of the golden dragon.

Since even the prophets are seeking your help, then I will try to see if you can help me solve my current predicament. ”

See no, this is the difference between high-level players and ordinary players, brother flickered a few times, and a task involving a second-level battleship was in hand.

"It's a pleasure to be able to help you, then...... Master Guise, where do we start to organize your mind? ”

Instead of saying a solution to his predicament, Guise asked, "Before I do that, I'd like to ask you to answer me a question." Do you think that for a warship, is defense important, or is speed important? ”

Da Liang replied without thinking: "It's all important." ”

"When one has to be sacrificed to strengthen the other, you choose to sacrifice defense or speed."
