The Cursed Ship

Well, on both sides of the bow of the spirit ship, there is another climbing ladder next to the cabin door. After opening a section of the fence, it is not difficult to get on and off.

Zheng Yang climbed down first, and then met the others. They are all supernatural beings, and they can actually jump over three or four meters away, but they have to behave like ordinary people in front of ordinary people.

Surrounded by a group of Spaniards, Zheng Yang talked with Gariff while visiting.

"My ancestor was a commander of the Spanish Armada in the last century!"

Garif's words made Zheng Yang stand in awe.

The vividness of this background can really scare people, a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, just ask if you are awesome.

"My family has handed down the manufacturing drawings of ancient warships, but modern ships are all made of steel, so they have no use value. But I like those ancient wooden warships very much, and spent a lot of money to study ancient shipbuilding technology , it took three full years to build the St. Mary."

When Galiff talked about his proud achievements, pride appeared on his face.

Calux also said: "This guy has invested more than 30 million yuan. It's really unbelievable that his family didn't lock him up. However, I also like this ship. You know, I am not only the St. Mary First Mate, and one of her engineers!"

Galiff smiled proudly: "The research process requires a lot of investment, but now that we have truly grasped the technology, it will not take so much money to build a big ship like the St. Mary, at most two million!"

"Of course my next ship will be bigger than St. Mary's, and it will be bigger than yours!"

Zheng Yang knocked on the hull deck and found that it was made of three layers of 5-8 cm thick logs interlaced and composited. When knocked, it made a crisp sound. The hardness was very scary, and it was obviously soaked in tung oil for a long time.

No wonder the balance of the hull is so good after boarding the boat. The weight of the hull alone is more than twice that of the spirit boat, and the draft is much deeper.

Needless to say, if the defense bonus of the spirit ship circle is not counted, the defense of this battleship is definitely much, much better than his spirit ship.

The cost of shipbuilding is estimated to be mainly on these timbers.

The cabin is built in steps, with the highest stern, and the interior decoration is several grades higher than that of Zheng Yang's boat. It is as modern as the clubhouse.

The internal space utilization rate of this warship is also much higher than that of the spirit ship. The hull is smaller than the spirit ship, but there are more than 30 rooms? Each is only about six square meters.

The row of gunholes in the lower cabin is actually the windows of the guest room? Of course, if the guns are really installed,

It is a genuine ancient battleship.

And the living room? It’s not as big as what Zheng Yang made to waste? It doesn’t have the fancy facilities like home theater and entertainment gym, let alone the captain’s bedroom and big VIP room as big as the Louling boat? Even a dedicated fishing area nothing.

In the words of Galiff, the deck is so big? Where can't you fish?

But there are special restaurants and small bars on the battleship? This makes Zheng Yang very reluctant to agree.

The biggest commonality between the two sides is the use of solar energy. Not only the roof of the battleship, but even the deck is covered with photovoltaic panels, covered with high-strength plexiglass for protection.

After the visit soon, including the design of the keel structure and hull shape, as well as the design of the sails, Zheng Yang was very impressed.

Lingchuan's self-optimization ability is only optimized based on his ideas to avoid some mistakes and defects. And the impressions from these visits can give Zheng Yang a better idea in the general direction.

"Did you know? Sailing boats are theoretically more resistant to storms than modern motor boats. When you encounter a storm, you only need to run with the wind? Let it ride the waves with the wind, and the stronger the wind, the faster you run? In theory, it will never be overturned. On the contrary, modern motorized ships may be overtaken and overturned by huge waves because of their slow speed..."

Zheng Yang disagrees with this. He has been to the Ross Sea? He has personally experienced a category 12 hurricane environment? Knowing how terrifying the pressure on the hull of a real hurricane environment is? It is not enough to just run.

Next, it was the turn of Galife and others to board the tall ship for a visit.

The layout on the spirit boat made these people dumbfounded.

"Your sail is automatically raised and lowered, which is amazing!"

"Oh my God, you really enjoy it, this is the car of a noble lord, isn't it?"

"Ha, you actually have such a large lower cabin unused, what are you going to do, use such a beautiful ship to carry cargo? You are really..."

"Is the keel cabin sealed? It's a pity... This is not good, because you can't check and discover the situation inside in time, and there will be safety hazards!"

In the end, Garif touched the logs and hesitated to speak.

Zheng Yang smiled wryly and said, "Tell me, I know, this material is very fragile. But I can't get your kind of good wood, can you tell me where I can get it?"

Galiff smiled: "That kind of wood is called teak, and it is made in Africa. There is a large coast there, full of this kind of good wood. But it is also very laborious to get them. We need to ask the local aborigines to help saw them, and then transport them. Come back to work!"

"The most troublesome thing is that there are pirates over there who will kidnap and blackmail us, so we need mercenaries to protect us all the way!"

Zheng Yang was really surprised. His knowledge of the African environment was limited to deserts and jungles, and he did not expect such good wood to exist.

"Zheng, if you want this kind of wood, we can harvest it together. I'm going to prepare for my next big boat, and this time the boat must be bigger!"

Zheng Yang was moved immediately, and asked, "When are you going?"

"Let's take another month. Let's get in touch at the specific time, shall we?"

"Of course, I also want to drive my boat to explore there!"

The two immediately exchanged satellite phone numbers.

At the time of parting, Garif asked Zheng Yang, "Where are you going next?"

"Continue to go south, just walk around!"

"Oh, I'm on my way back. You're welcome to visit my shipyard if you have time. We're already friends, aren't we?"

"Of course, I will definitely go once before going to Africa!"

...

The two parties then said their goodbyes and continued their respective journeys.

It was almost noon, and Alima and Lola also started preparing lunch.

"It's unbelievable that we actually saw a real ancient battleship!" Seyulari was still a little bit flustered until now.

Luo Funi also shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that besides your family, other people would build this kind of ancient sailboat!"

"If there is one, there will be two, and there will definitely be three, it's just rare!"

Although Zheng Yang said that, he was actually surprised, otherwise he would not have been so excited when they met.

But with such an example, his own ship will not appear too shocking.
