Heroes of Silver Moon

"This, Lord Simon..." Assad said with a little embarrassment: "The seven-masted warship is not something we can build!"

Simon scratched his head in a circle, and asked, "Why can't we build a seven-masted warship?"

The corner of Assad's mouth twitched, showing a tired expression, and he replied unrequitedly: "Because of material and technical problems, let's not ignore the material problem, but even many technologies for building five-masted warships, we have not been able to do it." Mastery, let alone a seven-masted warship."

Simon glanced at him, and asked confidently: "The royal family asked me to come here to build ships, isn't it to solve these technical problems?"

Assad's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, looking at this lunatic who didn't want to die.

He wouldn't really think that with just one person's wisdom and strength, he would be able to develop a sea fortress that could dominate the sea in less than two months?

"Okay, let's get to work. I just want to ask you, use your imagination, can you draw the structure of the seven-masted warship?" Simon asked impatiently.

The royal family only gave two months to design the warship and build the warship model. He came all the way, not to argue with others.

Because no one will believe that he has in his mind the crystallization of wisdom that countless ocean voyagers and scholars spent thousands of years researching on the blue star.

"Let's play... Imagine? If it's just a structural diagram, I can certainly draw it, although it may not be so detailed."

Assad said with a painful expression on his face: "But even if we draw the structural diagram and even make the model, there is still an insurmountable ditch between building a real seven-masted warship!"

Simon smiled confidently, looked at him with a little deep meaning, and said, "I know you, why can't we never build a big ship?"

Assad's body froze, and he shook his head in a daze, but his ears perked up quietly, wanting to hear what the famous alchemy genius of the Silver Moon Kingdom had to say.

Simon said meaningfully: "If you encounter a problem, solve it; if you encounter trouble, solve it! If you don't even dare to try the first step, how can you figure it out?"

Assad was stunned, and believed it carefully, it seemed to be such a truth, but after thinking about it carefully, he always felt that something was wrong?

But what exactly it was, he couldn't tell.

"Let me tell you about my preliminary modification plan."

Pulling the model of the seven-masted warship to his side, Simon solemnly said: "First of all, these bed crossbows, trebuchets and other things are useless. I will remove them all, but these take-off platforms can be kept."

Assad came back to his senses in an instant, quickly took out a small notebook, and recorded it with a charcoal pen.

These ordinary long-range attack devices are not very effective when installed on warships. The deterrent significance is greater than the actual combat significance, and they take up too much space.

Many modified warships have removed these things.

Even the basic ship type of the seven-masted warship is only equipped with twelve bed crossbows.

Therefore, Assad was not surprised by Simon's modification.

If it were him, he would do the same!

"Secondly, there are too many masts, which make the warship look very bloated. Only the three thickest masts are kept at the front, middle and rear positions, and I will remove all the others."

Simon carefully looked at the model of the seven-masted warship, frowning and ordered.

"Yes!" Assad wrote down in the small notebook subconsciously, but as soon as the tip of the pen touched the notebook, he reacted, his pupils shrank slightly, he suddenly raised his head, and looked at Simon in disbelief.

A seven-masted warship retains three masts, so can it still be called a seven-masted warship?

"The mast is just a symbol, and the hull is the root!" As if guessing what Alsad was thinking, Simon glanced at him indifferently and said.

"Yes yes yes!" Nodding like a chicken pecking rice, Essad replied helplessly, and recorded it in his notebook.

"The remaining mast must be thickened and raised to ensure that it can match the hull..."

"In addition to the standard four-layer deck, a half-layer deck is added at the position of the rear command platform to form a quasi-five-layer deck..."

"The lowest, second, and third decks, reserve a cabin for me at the stern, for my own use..."

"On the left and right sides of the ship, forty shooting holes are reserved for me on each deck. I want to place alchemy weapons. The shooting holes should be designed with covers. When not in use, the shooting holes should be covered to prevent seawater or foreign matter enters..."

Simon thought for a while and found that there was nothing else that came to his mind, so he asked Assad to draw the structure first. He looked at the model of the warship alone and recalled it carefully.

Although on the blue star, the sailing battleship has been eliminated.

But Simon is proficient in history after all, and has a lot of knowledge about sailing warships, which are deeply buried in his mind, but the time is too long, he needs to recall it.

 …

A few days later, Assad placed a hull structure diagram of a warship in front of Simon, and asked: "Master Simon, this is the structure diagram designed according to your instructions, do you see if there is any need to modify it?" ?”

"here!"

Simon, who had finished sorting out his memory, pointed to the bottom of the bow without hesitation, and said, "Add a bow here!"

"Ship...nose...bow?" Hearing an unfamiliar word, Assad seemed a little dazed.

As a new shipbuilder, he thought his basic skills were solid, but this was indeed the first time he had heard of it.

"Yes, the bow of the boat." Simon picked up the charcoal pen and began to draw on the draft paper. Although the drawing was a bit ugly, it allowed Essard to see the structure clearly.

Two perfectly round spheres merged into something like a nose.

"Master Simon, if this thing is added to the bottom of the bow, it will definitely affect the streamline of the entire ship and reduce the speed at sea."

Essad frowned deeply~www.wuxiaspot.com~ couldn't understand the meaning of adding this structure at all, and asked, "This... the nose bow, what's the explanation?"

Simon explained: "Yes, adding this thing will indeed destroy the streamline shape of the ship and increase the longitudinal resistance of sea water.

but! The sea itself has waves, and when a ship sails on the sea, it will also generate certain waves.

When two waves collide with each other, a stress will be generated, which will destroy the hull of the ship little by little invisibly, and will also generate a lateral resistance to hinder the sailing of the ship.

Adding this thing can resolve these two forces, or at least most of them can be resolved.

In this way, the speed of the ship will increase by at least 15% to 20%. "

Assad's brain was a little confused, and he didn't understand what Simon was talking about at all. He murmured: "Vertical resistance? Horizontal resistance? Stress? What the **** are these?"

Although he didn't understand it, he still added this device to the proper position at the bottom of the bow.

No way, Simon, the master alchemist, is the main designer of this warship.

As a novice shipbuilder, he is at most responsible for drawing structural drawings and making models.

Let him do the rest, and a rookie like him doesn't understand at all.

What's more, the one who gave the money is the uncle, and the relationship between Simon and him now is that of the employer and the employed.

Anyway, in the end, he can only make one model, and the final effect has nothing to do with him.

Even if the warship wins the bid by chance, it will be those alchemists and mages who will build the warship at that time, and they, the shipbuilders, can only be responsible for fighting.

So, let's do what Uncle Simon tells us to do!
