Extraordinary Sailing

In today's era of sailing warships where giant ships and cannons dominate, theoretically, the larger the size and the more artillery on board, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

This is also the origin of the initial grading standards for the sixth-tier warships of various countries.

A typical representative of them is the Cyrus Empire, which has been brewing for a long time but was finally stillborn. It is known as the most powerful battleship in human history, the legendary battleship-"Sea Majesty".

It has a design displacement of 5,826 tons, four artillery decks, and 170 various shipboard artillery pieces. It was built by the "Curse School".

You must know that the strongest first-class battleships in various sea power countries currently have no more than 110 naval guns. In the vision of Sirius' high-level executives, if this "Sea King" can really be turned from blueprints into reality, it will surely Become the real sea supremacy, no warship is qualified to be its opponent.

The thinking of ship engineers is obviously limited to the attack method of weapons such as front-mounted smoothbore guns, and they strive to maximize the power of artillery fire. In an era when accuracy depends entirely on luck, as a mobile fortress at sea, of course, the more artillery it loads, the stronger it will be.

But all of this is only based on the current level of technology.

At least from Aiwen's perspective beyond the times, there is no positive correlation between the battleship's combat effectiveness, battlefield adaptability, and body size. Even if an aircraft carrier wants to exert its combat effectiveness, it needs the cooperation of an entire aircraft carrier battle group, not to mention the mere sailing battleships of this era.

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

As for the shipbuilding industry technology is only a half-knowledge how to do? Technology is not enough wizardry to make up.

And isn't witchcraft enough? Krypton gold come together!

However, the specific shipbuilding steps are still carried out according to the general method, hull component processing→hull structure assembly→launching→outfitting→sea trial→construction is completed.

If the requirements are followed in accordance with normal shipbuilding facility standards, the shipyard in Hartrafa Port is undoubtedly unqualified.

During construction, the hull is kept at an inclination of 1/20 toward the sea, where keel piers and belly piers are arranged, and the hull is assembled on them. Considering the needs of launching, most of the berths will predetermine the position of the launching platform, and some are also provided with structures and tracks for launching, etc.

During the years of construction, a series of equipment, facilities, and construction steps were extremely complicated, but at this time they were all replaced by Aiwen using witchcraft.

And his first shipbuilding plan is not a few years but a few hours.

call--

Surrounded by the vibrant emerald green brilliance, the sound of plants and trees growing continuously echoed in the large dock.

One after another, the "treasure tree" that has been stripped of bark and slightly inferior in quality, leaving only the dark core material, has been reinjected with vitality, wriggling and growing together with the ship materials around it.

In the amazed eyes of the onlookers.

First, it completely merged into a giant tree lying horizontally, and then slowly turned into a huge spindle-shaped wooden cocoon supported by twenty thick roots, one meter above the ground, with a total length of nearly 140. ten meters.

At this time, the right to control the growth direction of this "giant tree" has been completely handed over to Aiwen, and An Qi is only used as an assistant to stabilize the "activation of the aura".

The supernatural ship material, which is almost impossible for mortals to process precisely, is as soft as plasticine in his hands.

The first step is to shape the keel.

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

The reason why a sailing warship must have a keel is that it is made of high-quality wood spliced ​​into square wood. After being used as a longitudinal bottom member, it is very convenient for the construction of wooden ships and ensures the subsequent structural strength.

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

But for modern warships, all of them are made of high-strength steel structure, and the bearing force has been distributed to the entire hull. Although it is still called "keel", it is no longer a "keel" in the sense of a sailing warship.

In Aiwen's design of the "V" shaped bottom of the battleship, in addition to the inner keel or the longitudinal girder inside the battleship, the bottom plate of the center longitudinal line is also a part of the keel, called the flat keel, and the bow and stern extend to the same level as the bow and stern. The columns close together.

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

I just don’t know how long the Kingdom’s wealth has been emptied out of being able to build the 120-meter-long, 5,000-ton “Steam Fortress” using all-metal materials.

rustle rustle

The spindle-shaped "wooden cocoon" supported in mid-air gradually deformed from the bottom of the ship into a "V" shape as a whole with Aiwen's command, with the inner middle keel, side inner keel, ribs, water holes, etc. The structure takes shape sequentially.

Under the precise control of the "digital vision", even a deviation of two decimal places is impossible.

certainly.

As a material that grows naturally, "Treasure Tree" does not escape the common problem of wood. The interior is actually composed of many xylem fibers arranged in parallel. The connection strength between these fibers is far less than that of a whole tree. inside of the fiber.

At this point, unlike steel, which is in a crystalline state at the microscopic level, it is completely coherent at the macroscopic level, which determines that steel has good macroscopic mechanical properties and mechanical conductivity.

but.

Although mortals can't do anything about the wood that has grown and been felled, it can't trouble Aiwen at all.

In the process of re-growth and shaping, the wood fibers, which are more flexible than steel wires, weave and intersect themselves like snakes to form a network of reinforcing ribs inside the hull structure.

The special physical structure that is difficult to create even with modern technology makes it stronger and more resilient than pure special steel.

In this process, there is no mortise and tenon structure, no iron nails and crutches, let alone welding. It has the ability to flatten and round the ship material at will, just like a battleship grown from a living tree, without any structural weak points.

The second step is to build the bilge.

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

third step,

In the flickering of the spiritual light, even among the bystanders, no one was willing to avert their eyes.

that's all.

After the "big tree" continued to grow for a full three hours, the [Activated Skillful Hand] marked by emerald green light finally began to gradually dissipate.

The "wooden cocoon" originally supported by twenty roots has completely changed into another look. It is a long and narrow warship with a very futuristic look.

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

There are hardly any vertical planar parts in the superstructure, and all structures are slightly sloped, as if they are composed of huge diamond blocks.

In the middle of the battleship in the superstructure, a tall tower reaching nearly twelve meters is formed, the front and rear are low and smooth, and the deck is full of large and small regular holes, which are obviously reserved for some equipment installed later. Location.

Just from the surface, it almost completely subverted the design concept of sailing battleships in this era, not to mention the more complicated structures inside the battleship.

"Although it looks a bit weird, it doesn't even have side gun holes, but if I can describe it in one word, it would be cool!"

Calvin's words attracted unanimous approval from everyone.

Leaving aside the core of the battleship, the design aesthetics beyond the times alone has conquered everyone.

At this time, the total length of the hull was 132 meters, the broadside was 16 meters, and the thickest part of the hull was close to one meter, which was almost the same as that of a first-class battleship. The standard displacement after design and outfitting was 2,800 tons.

In fact, the thickness of the outer shell steel plate of a modern 10,000-ton warship is only a little over 1 centimeter, and the outer shell steel plate of even a large ocean-going ship is generally only 2 to 5 cm thick. Aiwen is bullying people entirely by relying on the excellent performance of the "Baoshu", and the defense of the hull is no less than that of a one-meter-thick steel plate.

It can be imagined that in this era, even an alchemy 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, respectively, would be saddened to tears.

After all, even if it is a special armor-piercing projectile, the armor-piercing ability is measured in millimeters. 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 world's strongest, the maximum penetration is only 900 mm.

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

Of course, the opponent of the "Legendary Battleship" will always be the "Legendary Battleship", and it is completely hard to say what kind of attack it will encounter.

In the end, Aiwen mysteriously inserted two steel shaft-like accessories that had already been manufactured in advance, and inserted them into the holes reserved in the stern, and then installed two golden oars in the shape of a four-leaf clover with a height of two people. leaf.

So far, the main body of the battleship has been completely declared complete.

A long time ago, the shipbuilding industry and transportation industry were one of the pillars of Yuanfanling. Obviously, Ningfu, the representative of peak productivity, would not be wasted. In terms of shipbuilding technology alone, even this great wizard has a place in the entire human world. .

But this elegant and luxurious lady looked at the strange main body of the warship at this time, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Ivan, doesn't this battleship have a mast and sail? How is it driven?"

Pulling An Qi away from this rough battleship, Ai Wen smiled mysteriously at Ning Fu:

"Come on, can you move, let's try it and then we'll know?"

Snapped--!

He snapped his fingers.

In the turbulent blue cloud, the twenty roots shrank like a ripe melon, and the battleship also disappeared. When it reappeared, it had already entered the lake outside the [Witchcraft Garden].

There were no waves at all in the process of entering the water, which minimized damage during mechanical movement. This is also the main reason why "outfitting" comes after "launching" in the shipbuilding process.

next second.

Everyone in the dock had already landed on the deck of the battleship, followed Ivan carefully into the tower, and came to the place he called the bridge.

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

Just like decorating after obtaining a rough house, water and electricity pipelines, floors, and furniture are added and completed one by one. For battleships, it is combat, support, installation of navigation systems, and of course the most critical step - activating the ship spirit and extraordinary transformation!
