Extraordinary Sailing

"Storm Horn" Aiwen's exclusive laboratory.

The golden gun, an excellent extraordinary weapon seized from Aoweige, lay quietly on the wooden support of the test bench, emitting brilliant extraordinary aura under the soft light of the hanging wind chimes.

Zila——

While observing its structure through various detection witchcrafts of the Activation School, a gold coin in Ivan's hand flickered and slowly changed its shape.

First, the front and back sides with flowers and characters cast on them are switched quietly, and then the whole body melts into a miniature golden lion, seagull, and sailing boat.

Apparently, Ovig's ability to apply thunder and lightning, which he demonstrated when he was refining the golden spear, gave Aiwen a lot of inspiration.

For him, the spear made of pure gold itself has limited value, but the technology contained in this extraordinary weapon is a valuable asset for Aiwen.

It can be said that it is a magical technology independent of the alchemy of general wizards. Not only the shape of gold, but even its physical properties are also changed by him at the same time.

Although Aiwen's current capabilities already include various prerequisites for realizing that technology, it is still far from reaching the level of the opponent.

But he will not underestimate himself, and he still has advantages compared with Owig.

as far as I can tell.

Using his own thunder attribute ability, coupled with the activated aura and the "digital vision" of precise measurement, Aiwen has been able to fully realize most of the precision processing capabilities of "manual" machine tools.

As long as there are materials, it is easy to make muskets, shipboard artillery, and even relatively complex mechanical parts that do not involve essential changes.

After this mission is over, go to Yuanfanling.

The main purposes are to deal with this big shark totem pole, and by the way, to reshape the eight two-masted slave ships that have almost completed the preparatory work.

Another point is to carry out a subversive modification to the "Storm Horn", so that it can be as close as possible to the standard of a quasi-legendary warship.

That's when this precision machining capability shines!

Fluttering——

The sound of flapping wings suddenly interrupted Ivan's thoughts.

He saw a seagull messenger in spiritual form suddenly appear from the air in front of him, and put a letter sent by the spiritual world beacon on the table.

"Oh? Anthony is a pretty efficient guy."

Ai Wen's eyes lit up instantly, and he stretched out his hand to gently unfold the long-awaited letter.

There are a total of five valuable spiritual letter papers, and what is even more valuable are the densely written small characters and painted graphics on them:

"Ewen, I, Dillis, and Alva are really about to break their legs during this period of time. Don't forget to make up for us when you come back.

But the result is good, all the parts that can be extracted within our authority are all here.”

This is a letter from Anthony, who specializes in "Alchemy Equipment and Enchanting Engineering".

Because Aiwen was afraid that the somewhat outdated knowledge in "The Sacrifice of Flesh and Flesh" would waste this excellent raw material, he specially asked his friends in the mainland of the kingdom to collect the knowledge of making the "Cape Figure" for his own reference.

That's right.

Aiwen is preparing to make this very rare extraordinary material into a powerful figurehead!

When the Grand Fleet was used to attack the "Grand Theater" controlled by the Death Soul Box, the distorted head of the ship with a third-order power really impressed him too deeply.

Just relying on the figure of the ship, a dilapidated galley that has long been behind the times can actually have the combat effectiveness of a quasi-legendary warship, and beat its own fleet to nothing.

I have to marvel at the magic of this witchcraft creation!

As for the ability of witchcraft to create things, it is obvious that in the entire material world, no one dares to boast of surpassing the alchemy school.

Moreover, the scope of their collection of information is not limited to the library of "Violet Eye" and the private collections of members of the association, but also includes their family collections.

For Anthony and others, it is no problem to get some basic knowledge that does not involve core secrets for Ivan, who is no longer what it used to be.

Even if this knowledge is invaluable to the outside world.

If it weren't for the inheritance of the "activation school", there was no technology specifically for witchcraft creations such as the prow three or four hundred years ago, and Aiwen would not have turned to others for help.

"That's right, that's right. I won't forget you when I mail the 'extraction potion' to the Crown Prince next time."

I read it eagerly, especially the several ready-made production cases, which greatly expanded Aiwen's thinking.

Gradually, an initial manufacturing plan based on the inheritance of the "Activation School" and supported by the knowledge of the "Alchemy School" has begun to take shape in his mind.

"The only thing I'm not sure about right now is the coexistence of external energy sources and Auverg's residual power.

At least in the raw materials of the normal ship figure, there is no source of power left by a totem god. "

Taking out two huge sapphires obtained from the looting of the Golden Post Road from the magic pocket, and looking at them quietly for a while, Ivan suddenly thought of a person.

Based on her understanding of gems, which are witchcraft materials, she should be able to provide herself with a lot of ideas, right?

So he took out the leaf of the hyacinth and wrote softly on it:

"Miss Moonstone, hello! Please forgive me."

It's a nice ride down the cove near Kabushir.

Even with the double of "Goddess of Monsoon" and "Clarion of Ocean Current", it took eight days for "Horn of the Storm".

period.

A merchant ship sent by the colony transported the women and children of the Araucan clan directly to Tortuga Island in the northern part of the Golden Sea.

Aiwen has already contacted the well-connected Arawak clan in advance, and they will join the clan to balance the extremely unhealthy male-female ratio.

And the Arawak clan will also pay an equal price.

Even after Zenaro, who successfully became the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior", returned to the tribe, the tribal chiefs had already begun to consider enshrining the "Tree of Life" as their new totem.

Although Aiwen doesn't know what changes will happen after the mysterious source of the school is enshrined as a god, at least it shouldn't be a bad thing.

The status of women in Atrian is not high. After the tribes have been attacking each other for many years, according to the tradition, most of the male members of the opponent are killed, and then the women and young children are absorbed into the new tribe.

And there were quite a few women in the Araucan clan, who were snatched after they broke through other tribes, and they didn't show too much resistance when they were accepted by other tribes.

All the best!

Three days after the "Storm Horn" arrived in Hong Kong.

The vicinity of Far Sail City was originally privately owned by the Aimer family, but now it has been renamed as the largest shipyard in Mercury Shipyard, and it is also the temporary office of Mercury United Trading Company.

Dock Room No. 1 has become the exclusive workplace for Ivan and a group of auxiliary craftsmen.

Swish——

As the "activating aura" slowly dissipated, the reshaping of the last slave ship was finally completed.

"call--"

Finally, the transformation of the eight new privateers was completely completed, and Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, there is no need for him to continue to do it himself in the later stage, as long as it is handed over to the craftsmen for re-outfitting.

Looking at the masterpiece born in his own hands in the dock room, Aiwen nodded with satisfaction.

The long protruding fore and aft posts increase the effective length of the deck. The keel has a tendency to fall to the tail to obtain a larger tail draft, which improves the longitudinal stability and speed of the ship.

The hull is slender and the cross-section is V-shaped amidships, increasing the length-to-width ratio at the expense of keel strength, now about 5:1.

However, as a supplement, Ivan also added longitudinal ribs to them, which should not be much worse than the original.

Using a flat deck design, the ship does not have any superstructure. It is beneficial to reduce the resistance, and is convenient for sailing and grabbing the wind to increase the speed of the ship.

The refitted "Brigantine type two-masted mixed sailing ship".

With a displacement of 210 tons, it is equipped with one 24-pounder and eight 6-pounders, which is powerful enough for a small privateer.

The front mast is equipped with square sails, and the mainmast is equipped with vertical sails. The maximum speed can easily exceed eleven knots.

Moreover, sailing is easier than ordinary square sailing ships, and the professionalism and number of sailors required are greatly reduced, and only six people can operate normally without the need for gunners.

At the same time, new drawings have been delivered to the company's marine engineers and carpenters, and the first prototype ship has begun trial production.

"It's not easy, the surplus pirates can finally start working for me."

The main body of the privateer fleet has not really taken shape until today.

"Your Excellency, here are some documents that I need your permission to read."

Hawkins, who was dressed in a school officer's uniform next to him, saw that Ivan was finally done, and handed him a stack of documents. Although as a full-fledged agent, there are still some things that must be signed and approved by Aiwen.

After Hawkins became Ivan's attendant before, he didn't need him to perform combat missions, so he came here to work directly, and he did it impressively.

"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, the personnel belonging to the smuggling team led by Yuanfan have already completed the first transaction with the Silius Secret Dragon Colony, making a profit

Moreover, before coming to the dock, His Excellency the Marquis asked me to invite you to sit in Orange Leaf Castle again, saying that I miss you very much."

Ai Wen waved his hand and signed all the places that needed to be signed by himself, confirmed that there was no problem with the current operation of the company, and agreed casually:

"okay, I get it.

Reply to Your Excellency the Marquis, I will visit him after I complete the modification of the Horn of the Storm here. "

Just experienced a big battle, except for Milan and the necessary left-behind personnel.

Aiwen has already sent most of the crew members out and asked them to relax in Yuansail City, one of the few bustling places in the entire New World.

But he and Milan still had an important job to do before making the figurehead.

That is to replace the "Storm Horn" with a pair of steel skeletons on the existing basis, greatly improving the structural strength of this fourth-tier ship.

In other words, it is to convert this wooden sailboat into an iron-ribbed wood-hulled ship second only to the ironclad ship!
