Defense is the ability to withstand cannon fodder damage, and if you want to increase your defense, you must increase the thickness of the hull or add metal bulletproof plates in important positions, which will cause the weight of the battleship to increase and cause the speed to slow down.

It's about speed.

In cases where the sail design has been perfected and cannot be improved, it can only be solved by reducing the dead weight of the hull, and the consequence is to cause a decrease in defense.

Defense and speed are two difficult attributes to choose between for every ship.

Speed means quick deployment and good maneuverability in naval battles to dodge incoming shells.

However, no warship can guarantee that it will not be shot in a naval battle, and how to reduce its own losses after being shot requires a warship to have reliable defense.

Ships below the three-masted battleship have tended to be perfect in design, and their speed and defense have reached a very good point of convergence.

However, after reaching the level of battleships, the increase in the size of the battleship caused a significant decrease in the speed of the ship.

In the case of the Conqueror, its propulsion ratio dropped to 40, while the thrust ratio of the three-masted battleship was 70.

At the same time, the flexibility of the hull has also been greatly reduced.

And the reason why the second class battleship was not designed for a long time was because its speed would drop to an unbearable figure as the hull continued to grow.

No navy was willing to take on a battleship that couldn't even get out of the harbor, no matter how powerful its firepower was.

Therefore, the problem that plagues all ship design masters is how to increase the speed of second-class battleships, and some ship design masters propose to reduce the defense capability of second-class battleships and expand the capacity based on the hull of the current third-class battleships.

Used to hold more weapons, more soldiers, larger forbidden devices, and magic amplifiers.

This is also the thinking of the mainstream ship design masters, and the second class battleships designed with this idea are about to appear.

In the game, Da Liang, who is ready to develop a fleet based on navigation, still has some understanding of the secrets of the design of these ships.

It is also known that there are two contradictory attributes of defense and speed in the hull of the ship.

Faced with Guise's question, Da Liang thought for a while and said: "A naval battle that requires the use of battleships is definitely not a low-intensity naval conflict. As an important firepower output weapon, it will also be a key target for enemy firepower, so battleships should prioritize their own survival in naval battles, and their defensive capabilities should even take precedence over offensive capabilities.

But speed is fundamental to the survival of a battleship, and its importance is equal to defensive capabilities.

That's why I think defense and speed are very important for a battleship, and you can't slow down because you want to increase your defense, and you can't lower your defense because you want to increase your speed. ”

In response to Da Liang's answer, Gith said with a little anger: "Don't talk about that nonsense, I know that defense and speed are two important attributes for the survival of a battleship, and now I ask you to choose the most important one from them, which is a multiple-choice question." ”

"I chose to make these two attributes fit through the design of the battleship, and a battleship is only a battleship if it has strong defense and speed."

Da Liang replied firmly.

In the 18th world, even 110-gun sail battleships are used on the surface of the earth, and it is impossible to get stuck on 80-gun battleships in the game.

Although the weapons of the battleships in the game are not only cannons, but also large creature chambers, ballistas, forbidden devices, magic amplifiers, and other things that take up space.

But Da Liang still thinks that there is still room for improvement in the design of the battleship hull in the game, and since the second-level battleship class exists in the theory of the game, it will definitely appear in the game.

And it's definitely not a so-called reduced second-class battleship, that kind of thin-skinned second-class battleship really does it, and it is estimated that even a third-class battleship can't beat it.

Da Liang's answer silenced Keese, and when the undead were silent, no one knew what they were thinking.

After a while, Guise said, "I want to take you as an apprentice for battleship design, I wonder if Lord Viscount is willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Apprentice? Learn Battleship Design!

Da Liang really didn't think about it at first.

This is a life skill to learn, and promotion requires not only skill books, but also sharpening proficiency.

Proficiency really needs to be sharpened, accumulated little by little, and it is impossible to practice life skills without spending a lot of time.

If Da Liang is an ordinary player, he is of course happy to be able to learn the profession of battleship design, and when the time comes, just selling the blueprints of sloop-class ships will be enough to earn food and clothing.

However, Da Liang is now a lord, and the number of soldiers in his hands is close to 10,000, and the construction of the territory will soon begin to upgrade at the fourth level.

After level five, Marquis Stanley could not provide construction blueprints, and Da Liang could only lead the army into the Death Realm, the base camp of the undead, which was a high-risk area where bone dragons flew in the sky and dark knights ran everywhere.

There are also adjudicators, fishing grounds.

There is also Aoba Island, where Jeju Castle has suffered and will definitely not give up.

Brother is now in the world Buwu and Weijiahai, can he have time to practice life skills?

Can...... This is a master ship designer taking apprentices, and there are several players in the whole game who can find a master hero to be a master.

Tangled, tangled.

Forget it, fight it. A high-level player like my brother, do you still care about learning one more skill?

In case Ji Si accepted an apprentice with outstanding talent like his brother, he suddenly became happy, his head cleared up, and his thinking was clear. Won't that brother be able to wipe his ass with second-level battle-level drawings and wipe his nose with first-level battle-level drawings in the future, Joyce cried and shouted and begged his brother to green their prince?

"It's an honor for me to be able to be an apprentice of Master Guise."

There was no grand apprenticeship ceremony, and there were no three bows and nine bows, and in the confirmation of the system, Da Liang had a master-apprentice relationship with the ship design master Guise.

It's just that Gisi didn't show too much joy about accepting Da Liang's apprentice, but took him into the counter.

Then take down a model of a unit merchant ship from the display stand.

"Before I can formally teach you the basic ship design, you need to understand the basic structure of a ship. This is a model of a dhow merchant ship and is the most basic hull structure of any ship. This model has a total of 143 modules stitched together, and you ...... "I saw Guise casually poke on this dhow model of the merchant ship, and it immediately turned into a pile of small wooden blocks of various styles, "Reassembling these modules in five minutes is your first lesson, remember not to have too many and not too little." ”

Da Liang looked at the pile of small wooden blocks in front of him and opened his mouth and said, "Mentor, can you show me first?" ”

Gith snorted, "If you can't even complete this small model, it means that you don't have the talent to become a ship designer, and I will dissolve our master-apprentice relationship." Remember to send the corpses of the two golden dragons, and keep an eye on the store, every item here has a price, if someone comes in to buy a model, you can sell it to him at the price. ”

With that, Gise walked to the backyard, leaving the store with a bewildered look.

It feels like I've been fooled.
