Chapter 355

Two days have passed since the discovery of the treasure of the sunken ship and the accident.

At present, everything on the island is normal.

Although Ivan often communicates with major general de Monde brand, the elder of "dierbenburg", the intelligence transmitted back from him is in a stalemate at present. Moreover, with the worsening weather in the deep winter, hillius's dominant position has been rapidly lost.

The commanders of Sark and Atlan are even optimistic that they can postpone the delaying tactics until the arrival of local reinforcements next spring.

Then they will really make great contributions to our country!

It's always been this kind of information, and Elvin didn't think much about it. Although the strength is no longer comparable with that of the past, in a large-scale war, the influence one can make is still limited.

What's more, I haven't seen any of the personnel that major general said before, and Elvin is just enjoying himself.

After all, he has too many research projects on hand.

For example:

the "totem warrior training method" related to the knight's future, the "adventurer's blood" suppression plan, the first "spiritual exploration" after becoming a formal wizard, the running in of the "ocean current horn", the upgrading of the "seabird detection network", the "activated animal skin" prepared for all the crew fighting bravely, and the handling of the old guy in the "curse painting"...

all sorts of things are jobs that can't be replaced by others. Sometimes Evan is wondering whether to take Angel over and help him with his research.

By the way, I can take the second apprentice with me.

Besides that.

Because I'm not sure how long these people will stay in hatrafa port, even when I'm busy, I don't let the soldiers who have fully recovered idle.

In addition to normal training, they also need to cut down trees, build houses, port facilities, reclaim wasteland, grow vegetables and so on.

Now all the personnel on the island include:

"fengfengjiao" used to be full of 350 people. Except for the war damage and the disabled, there are 209 people left.

The situation of the "endeavor" is slightly better. Originally there were 352 people, but now there are 268 people.

There are 623 prisoners of hillius. Oh, one was eaten. Now there are only 622.

A total of more than 1000 adult men on this island can only get out, which is also a huge consumption.

Evan simply found something to do for them. He helped them build this excellent private port, which can be borrowed at any time in the future. He also solved the problem that they had no place to vent their energy.

After all, faletis is not as rich as hillius, and the military bases that can provide logistic support for battleships in the whole new world are only in single digits.

As a qualified captain, the division is more than just fighting and killing. If we master a friendly private port, we will win more security for our warships and our men, and more chances for survival.

The best news in recent days is that with the help of a marine engineer sent by "dierbenberg", the "storm horn" was finally repaired earlier than expected today.

Return to the sea.

Even in his busy schedule, Elvin also took time to personally preside over the re launch of the warship at the port.

"Sir! Do you need a sea trial? I can go with you and debug this beautiful warship. It should be in the best condition in its service life. "

Watching the storm horn re launch, the skilled engineer, Mr. Walkley Jeffery, was very confident in his craft.

Indeed, as a senior engineer, he once presided over the construction of a brand-new battleship. For him, this kind of small project has no difficulty at all.

At this time, the balance of the right rear side of the stern of the fourth class warship has been modified after being repaired with white oak from the colony.

By the way, the crew cleaned the bottom of the copper-clad ship and made a major maintenance for it.

There is no need to test the ship in person. Just by looking at its sailing posture at this time, Elvin also knows that the "storm horn" is in excellent condition and can be put into another battle at any time.

He nodded with satisfaction, which recognized the skill of the senior engineer.

"But is the repair of the starburg so slow?"

Looking away from the storm horn, Elvin frowned at the third class warship lying in the dock. Although he didn't dare to open it openly for the time being, the two concepts of not opening and not opening are completely different.

"Sir, the main reason is that the materials can't keep up. The hull and ribs of this warship are seriously damaged.

The damage is still the thickest part of the original midship hull. The hull, ribs and lining of the third class warship can add up to 60 cm.

It's hard to find the right materials for this kind of warship. Previously, the ones from donglunzhi had already been used up.

It seems that they had a boat with good teak trees. Unfortunately, the people from the Trade Department moved too fast and had been robbed at a high price for a long time. "In fact, this engineer came mainly for the purpose of "Starnberg", and there are few opportunities to capture the sileus class III battleship completely.

Although he thinks that shipbuilding technology has surpassed hillius's design concept of "rough, stupid and big", as a marine engineer, he is not willing to let go of this opportunity to learn from others.

However, no matter how advanced the technology is, it is difficult for a skillful woman to make a meal without rice. The repair of the class III warship has been intermittent, because the lack of raw materials has greatly slowed down the progress of the project.

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, regretting that the boat did not know where it would be used.

"Cough..."

next to him, Elvin listens to Walkley's words, coughs twice to hide his embarrassment, which turns around and turns out to be his own pot.

But at that time, who thought that he would have a class III warship to repair in the future? Of course, the golden lion is more real.

However, looking at the third class warship lying in the nest now, while secretly regretting, a good idea suddenly popped up in Elvin's mind. And the more you think about it, the more feasible it is. In the end, there is light in your eyes.

Looking around at the engineers, he said excitedly:

"Mr. Jeffery, why don't we refit this warship?"

"Refit?"

Walkley Jeffery wondered if he had heard the wrong thing. Battleship is the pinnacle of human force in this era, but it is also a complex collection of forces.

At present, the ship forms of various countries are the result of tens of thousands of years of experience of numerous ship engineers and senior craftsmen. If they are altered casually, let alone fighting, it is not impossible even if they go to the sea immediately.

"Yes, it is. Refit this class III battleship into a heavy cruiser! Single pick invincible... Heavy cruiser

At this time, listening to Elvin's words, Walkley felt that he was almost stabbed by the light in Elvin's eyes, and was attracted by a noun he had never heard of.

The term seemed to have been born with magic, which made him murmur, "heavy... Cruiser!"

Actually.

Although the great navigation has been started for 200 years, all aspects of navigation technology has also been greatly developed.

But in this era, people's concept still stays at the level that more guns are stronger. Try to build bigger warships, more decks, and more guns!

Then, in the battleship version, that is, the "battle line" that was shot in line, he took the lead in sending his opponent to the sea with superior firepower.

Of course, any kind of invention and tactics can not be separated from the background of the times. In the eyes of modern people, some ridiculous tactics are the best choice for a particular era.

In a large-scale war in which no one can run with the "battle line" tactics, this idea is entirely correct.

But what if you jump out of this category? Or jump out of the limitations of this era?

From the point of view that Elvin surpasses most people, in addition to the legendary warships with extraordinary power, the era of Bluestar's sail warship is a big step ahead of the world in terms of warship design, concept and tactics.

Especially before the launch of the steam armored warship, in the last and most glorious years of the windsurfing warship, mankind undoubtedly developed this technology to a certain extent.

Just like the difference engine which was eventually replaced by computer, the sail warship which was replaced by steam armored warship, if it can continue to develop, no one can predict what it will look like in the end.

And in those glorious years.

It's hard to say which of all the famous windsurfing warships is the strongest, because there are the biggest, the most shipborne guns, and the fastest "best" warships.

However, the most legendary warship, which is most suitable for the current situation, is the "constitution" of the white headed eagle.

During the service period, after more than 40 naval battles, he gained the reputation of "no defeat, no invincible"!

However, it is not a battleship of the so-called ruling era. It's a cruiser, or rather a "heavy cruiser" of unique design.

[Specification] the total length of the ship is 62.2 meters, the width is 13.6 meters, the depth is 6.85 meters, the displacement is 2200 tons, the speed is 13 nautical hours, the fixed number of personnel is 400, and the bow and stern building is cancelled.

[armament] double deck gun deck: 30 24 pound guns, 20 32 pound guns, 2 24 pound bow and stern guns (experienced heavy outfitting for many times, data at the peak of firepower in 1812)

[sails] full sails, bow inclined jib and stern inclined longitudinal sails.

Compared with the battleships of the same era, this enhanced super cruise ship has many advantages:

first, compared with the class III battleships, the heavy cruise ship with lower center of gravity can deploy more heavy cannons, or even adopt full heavy artillery configuration, so that it has almost no less firepower than the class III battleships in naval warfare.

second, the same tonnage has been cancelled, the thicket can be equipped with the thicker hull, and the "constitution" has even the reputation of "old fellow armor".Third, lower the height close to the water surface, increase the length width ratio, and speed faster (of course, the length width ratio of the flying shear ship as high as 6:1 is faster, but it lacks stability and strength, and can not be equipped with heavy artillery at all).

The design concept is to abandon the large-scale fleet war at the same time.

Create a situation: those who can beat it can't beat it, those who can beat it can't beat it. Of course, most of them can't beat it either!

With its powerful firepower and excellent speed, this heavy cruiser dared to compete with any warship on the blue star at that time.

In fact, in terms of displacement and specifications, this kind of cruise ship is the third class ship in the battleship sequence. It's just right to use a third class ship with just "little weight" to transform it.

And Elvin's idea is not whimsical, or even original.

In order to deal with the constant troubles of the white headed eagle's heavy cruisers, such as the formation set sail to hunt and kill its own single warships and merchant ships, John Niu once made a deck cutting design and converted the class III battleship into a heavy cruiser.

How similar is this situation to the comparison of the fighting power between pharetis and hillius?

"So, Mr. Jeffery, how about we try it together?"

Elvin reaches out his right hand to the ship engineer next to him.

Wockley Jeffery had been inspired by Elvin's words for a long time, and he was almost enthusiastic. He didn't hesitate to clap high five with Elvin.

If it fails, it will be the captain's spoils, but if it succeeds, it will leave a lot of money in the history of the Kingdom's warships!
