In order to maintain technical confidentiality, the enhancement was carried out in secret in a closed dock in Bermuda.

Not only was the ship's owner Lu Yuan not allowed to enter, but even the old shipbuilder Henrik, who was involved in formulating the transformation plan, was not invited and could only stay outside like Lu Yuan. This undoubtedly made him extremely dissatisfied, and he kept nagging around.

Because the achievements of this ship's transformation will be directly linked to his bonuses, he is very irritable ... and vows to wait for the ship to be completed, and must pick out countless problems to humiliate those guys.

As for Lu Yuan ... He has emptied all the belongings carried in the ship ’s bottom warehouse and his personal space. Even the money in the usury shops has consumed 50% of the money, although he has also purchased the materials needed to strengthen the gold hedging, but he has now Thinking-am I crazy? !

Even if LeBron wanted to spend such a large sum of money, he would feel so painful that he couldn't sleep.

Lu Yuan, and all the adjutants who followed him into the dock-First Mate John, Father Padley, Woodworker Henrik, Charge Captain August, his assistant Kristina, and the Admiral Li Huamei-All eyes widened and looked up at the huge hull in front of him, and became speechless!

Lu Yuan incredulously shot a few "appraisal techniques" up, and the main **** told him firmly ... Dear, you read that right. There is nothing wrong with your eyes, this is your fortified ship. The name is also called "Elona" ...

Oh your sister! Lu Yuan is about to lift the table! Can this Nima strengthen?

This Nima took me a full 6000000 pesos to strengthen the real gold and silver? !

Lu Yuan pointed at the hull, which was 1.742 times larger than the original, and made a speechless gesture. Is this Nima clearly rebuilding a boat, okay? ! Is it that you are so strong?

Seeing Lu Yuan's mad expression, the four shipbuilding masters looked at him with some shame. However, Lu Yuan ignored them and walked around the hull of his own accord. He climbed up and down and began to observe. In view of his unfinished balance, the four old men could only follow behind awkwardly.

At this time in Lu Yuan's eyes, the measurement data on the ship was rolling like a waterfall.

The length of the hull extended from 37 meters to 60.2 meters, and the width increased from 8 meters to 13.1 meters, still maintaining a length to length ratio of 4.6. Although the ship still maintains a slender hull. However, as the volume increases, the speed of the ship will inevitably decrease slightly. But at the same time, the space inside the ship will be greatly increased, and the stability and endurance of the ship will be well strengthened.

Moreover, after the space is increased, both the captain ’s room and the place where the sailors live are more comfortable, and the division of various cabins is more reasonable ... At least Lu Yuan saw four or five cabins he had never seen before, such as ... … What are these “chart room”, “stern tip cabin”, and “stern tip cabin”?

Lu Yuan knew that it was a **** horse thing, but he couldn't help but complain.

Wait until he finishes visiting the captain's toilet. And after comparing with the lieutenants' toilets (the crew's toilets are in front of the bow, and the bow is like the back position), they climbed out of the boat in a daze.

When he disembarked, he discovered that the depth of the hull (the vertical distance from the deck to the keel) also increased to 7 meters. It is two floors high, actually surpassing the old ship by nearly a quarter.

This battleship, which was stolen as an enhanced version of the "Elona" cruiser, looks more like a small battleship. Or according to the new division method of the British, this should be a class 3 or 4 class battleship. To know. The displacement of this ship reached 1,800 tons! If it is placed in a British shipyard, it will definitely be equipped with more artillery. Trained into a battleship.

In order to provide more power, the three masts and sailing equipment were adjusted. Several sails that were proved useless by various countries were removed. Then the three-layer sailing equipment was increased to four layers, and the top sail was set above the upper sail. , And five kinds of mule sails in front. In order to match the azure blue sail, the hull's waterline is also painted in blue and white, which looks a lot more lively. In particular, the shelling line of the artillery deck was painted dark blue, which did not look as murderous as black.

Isn't it ashamed to drive the blue and white stripes on the sea?

After checking the data again, Lu Yuan couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. He grabbed the shipbuilding master by the side and said aloud, "Thank you so much! This" Constitution "is really great!" Lu Yuan was really forbearing Can't stop talking, this ship looks like the famous "Constitution" of the United States) The super frigate is really too much! No, it's just a copy of the original, and it's slightly reduced in proportion!

"This ... the effect of the transformation is unexpected, and we can't think of it ..." Before the old man finished, he was picked up by Lu Yuan's neck collar and roared at him! "But tmd, where did you hide my" Elona "?"

The four old men were stunned by his spray! The ship's changes are a little bit bigger ... and the artillery looks a little less ... but the overall looks pretty good, doesn't it! How did the owner respond so much? ! He didn't pay the remaining two million dollars ...

As soon as Lu Yuan let go, he threw away the old man and beckoned Henrik. "This bunch of **** actually turned me on ... to change our ship like this! Can you bear it? The magical attributes are all gone!" This Nima is called strengthening? "Although it is a very rough bronze level, it is also a magic attribute! The four old men on the edge twitched their eyes together.

"It must be unbearable!" Henrik yelled, slashing his hands in the middle-half of the money he had fallen!

"Then what are you waiting for? Go bite ... reasonable! I don't understand this." Lu Yuan hacked again in the middle of his hack, and then waved his hand-only a quarter, declined to bargain!

Henrik knew that Lu Yuan was not good at speaking, but he thought about it ... if he talked down two million. Then you can get half a million pesos! Not too many. And he suspected that Lu Yuan had a maximum of 500,000 pesos left in his pocket, and if he had more, he would have to pay the bill ... thinking of it here. He turned and cried at the four old men, "We don't want this broken ship. You pay my Elona! That's the lifeblood I've built for twenty years!" Then he rushed to fight stand up.

Henrik argued with the four old men over there. In short, the original "Elona" was good, and the copycat "Constitution" was bad. In particular, although the "Constitution Number" is more advanced, it does not conform to the mainstream values ​​of this era.

For example, the gunner ’s residence. There are two or three square meters of space around each gunner ’s hammock on the new ship. There is a table for eating and the hammock can be used as an activity place. The artillery is not too much. The environment is quite good. But the habit of treating sailors in this era is that they were gunners in wartime and canned sardines in peacetime. There is so much space around the hammock, you are sick!

The four old men were sprayed together so that they could not lift their heads. What was even more difficult to understand was ... How did the enhancement of the "Elona" become like this?

Lu Yuan doesn't care about things over there, and continues to look at this cottage version of the super battleship.

Compared with the original "Constitution" in the United States, the new "Elona" is 2 meters shorter in total length and has a smaller displacement of about 300 tons. Put in the same batch, it can be considered as a class of warships ... The problem is that the first "Constitution" class warship in the United States was launched in Boston in 1797. This year is just 1696. Nima is a hundred years earlier than the previous year!

If it weren't for the ghost of the goddess, Lu Yuan could take his head off and kick the ball! You are not desperately trying to make a super advanced battleship? I'll give you a ... but look at the slightly smaller size than the battleship, the heavy Galen galleon, etc., and the muzzle that is sparsely arranged. Lu Yuan felt sore.

The advanced nature of this ship is all-round, but Lu Yuan's heart is not that taste ... It took six million pesos to swell. It is equivalent to the money that can be purchased directly for a brand new battleship, but there is a kind of catching up with the main god?

Especially the number of artillery.

In 1797. The artillery manufacturing process was not comparable to that in 1696. After a hundred years of development, the artillery power has greatly increased. Compared with the wooden sail warship, the power of artillery is already surplus, and it is necessary to appropriately reduce the number of artillery. Not to mention the appearance of the terminator of the wooden shell warship, pns_gun. In that era, more airworthiness, continuous combat capability, sailor treatment, etc. were considered.

It can be placed at the end of the 17th century, such a big ship, not stuffed into 80 cannons, embarrassed to greet people when going out!

In the end, Lu Yuan only paid the last half a million yuan. Coupled with the prepayment of the final payment and material costs, the cost of this upgrade was finally controlled within five million pesos (including the 380,000 commission for Henrik).

However, Lu Yuan has not been able to evaluate the ship's attributes for the time being, because the strengthening will continue.

Whether it is the installation of the bow image and the rudder of the legendary items, or Li Huamei's transformation of the ship, they must be carried out one after another. Even the sailing outfit should be further adjusted according to Lu Yuan's requirements. His goal has always been to rely on "Activate Rope" magic and octopus tentacles to drive alone.

All these kept the people busy for four days.

When all the transformations except the gold sturdy strengthening have been completed, the distance and Elizabeth's agreement is only one day left.
