Re, Gu Aotian Slaughtered Me

Vol 5 Chapter 7: Advanced design that does not match the times is stupid

Captain Max's complaint to the dwarves was somewhat surprising: "Isn't the highest order of'that' to prohibit attacks?"

"That's it, but'that' doesn't have the ability to distinguish between people and things. In order to make'that' work, we have taught all kinds of abilities, how to use hammers, saws, axes and other tools, but These tools can be used not only for work, but also for hitting people. Even if the purpose is to work, these tools can hurt people when they are used on people. Alas." The dwarf's voice revealed helplessness.

"That's it, there is such a problem."

"If there were no such problems, it would be a perfect labor force. Look at my stomach, I got ‘that’ to work for me as a worker, and it became so big. As a result, I was scolded by my wife, huh!"

Yayaka was full of curiosity about what "that" was.

Isn't it a wooden doll? There are many wooden dolls in the Imperial Ministry of Magic, that is, Graeme's ultra-condensed version. Wooden dolls do have the advantages and disadvantages mentioned by the dwarves before.

However, it is definitely not a wooden doll. The price of a wooden doll is as low as several hundred gold coins, and it needs to be charged with magic power on a regular basis to run well.

At this time, Captain Max seemed to feel something. He glanced at the side of the pillar on the outer wall of the dock, but only saw a burst of spray.

"Is there anything over there?"

"Probably it's a fish? Sometimes a fish hits it nearby."

"Really. Speaking of—" Captain Max scanned the huge dock. "Does these ships need such a large dock?"

In this era, there is not much demand for sea ships, so there is no large dock built by multiple ships at the same time, so the first visit to Captain Max near the Dwarf Dock has some questions.

"This is the dock where we develop new ships." The dwarf replied.

"Oh, what kind of new ship?" Captain Max was a little interested.

"Unfortunately, I happen to be not the person in charge of this project. Haha."

At this time, Yayaka, who struggled to resist her extraordinary buoyancy, grabbed the wall pillar and dived into the water, gritting her teeth. I complained and rejoiced in my heart--

"My brother deserves to be a first-class fighter. He is really keen. If I didn't leave school every day in the past few years and continued to exercise under the pressure of the devil muscle instructor invited by my father, I would not be able to hide. NS."

Despite this for a while, she didn't know that the situation outside suddenly rose and it was dangerous. She didn't want to lose face, she just squeezed in through the drain near the wall pillar and poked her head out of the water in the dock.

"Wow..."

Yayaka, who had to raise her head high, saw a huge ship. Although it could not be accurately measured, it was definitely much longer than the Galen Yacht. It was definitely more than a hundred meters long!

What makes Yayaka a little strange is that for such a long boat, how can it be said that there should be five or six masts for hanging sails? But this ship has three masts, and they are not evenly arranged in the front, middle and back of the ship, but rather awkwardly squeezed in the middle and back of the ship.

Even considering the length of the ship, the masts are not too crowded in this arrangement, but it is still very weird. Is the balance and speed of such a ship okay?

The speargun protruding from the small window can be seen from the side of the ship. She can judge that this is a warship, but is the number of weapons less? In her opinion, hundreds of guns could be deployed on such a large sideboard, but only thirty guns on one side.

Is the design unreasonable? Of course it is possible that this is just a large cargo ship with a certain degree of defense. Maybe?

Seeing that there were no people around, Yayaka, who was related to the imperial navy nobleman, couldn't resist curiosity, surfaced, jumped onto the workbench, set up a ladder without authorization, and climbed onto the boat.

"Oh, so wide, so big!" Yayaka discovered that the ship was not only longer, but also much wider than the Galen Sailboat, close to twenty meters? Considering the balance, it is of course of course that the hull is lengthened and widened accordingly.

And Yayaka, who was standing on the deck, also got the answer to the reason why the mast was arranged like this——

The position where the first and second masts were supposed to be arranged is occupied by two huge square boxes. The front box is wider than the rear box, and the rear box is one box higher than the front box.

At the end of the square box facing the bow, there were three openings, each of which was inserted with a huge metal tube, and the metal tube faintly revealed a magical light.

Yayaka grabbed the mouth of the tube and tried to climb, only to find that such a big mouth seemed to be able to squeeze her whole body in.

The same device, there is also a pair at the back of the ship, which is also the same triple installation.

The amidships are also equipped with similar tall and short on both sides of the cabin, but compared to the huge multi-packs of the bow and stern, the similar devices in the amidships are a bit smaller, and they are also mixed with large spearguns that Yayaka knows. model.

"The base of this box is round... Isn't it... Could it be that it can be turned? Is this huge magical metal tube... the same weapon as a speargun? Can shoot and Does such a big tube match a huge speargun?"

Then, Yayaka instinctively calculated the advantages and disadvantages of this firepower layout design to see if it was suitable for use in the design of imperial warships?

This kind of main firepower has a full midline ladder layout, and the side line only arranges the mode of secondary firepower, which can maximize the use of firepower to the side of the warship. But there are many shortcomings-

This layout needs to lengthen the hull, increase the consumables, occupy the sailing area as the driving force of the navigation, reduce the number of sails, and affect the speed and stability of the ship;

Although the range of spearguns and ballistas is higher than the magic range~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the range is still not very large, and it often meets the enemy on both sides. At this time, this single-sided centralized firepower arrangement becomes a disadvantage;

How to give such a large turret the power to rotate is also a big problem. Do you need to allocate enough manpower?

To sum up, that is, the design of this ship, there is nothing worth emulating. I really don’t know what the dwarf’s brains are wrong, and they have designed such an insignificant layout.

"Well, let's take a look inside the cabin." Yayaka jumped off the turret and walked to the cabin door.

"Hey~ anyone? Excuse me." Learing to be discovered by the boatman who might show up, Yayaka yelled softly into the door.

I deceived myself and felt that I had already informed it, and if it was an offence to go in, then I could use this as an excuse for a little prevarication.

"It seems that there is really no one. Maybe it is because of a problem with the design of this ship that it was shelved." She muttered to herself, and disappeared at the door of the cabin.
