Chapter 356

Over the next few days, Evan spent most of his spare time on the warship, in addition to promoting various research projects that had almost been fully scheduled.

Based on Elvin, Walkley and some of the best craftsmen in the original "windstorm horn", a group was set up.

After Elvin presided over the first meeting and explained his ideas, all the members of the task force were full of interest in the new warship, which was still on paper for a while, and could not wait to turn it into reality.

Therefore, the design of the preliminary transformation scheme was started.

During this period, of course, it is inevitable to kill several versions of the design.

Either it doesn't conform to Alvin's assumption, it can't achieve the expected performance, or it's too strange, and the structural strength of the current material can't meet his requirements at all.

Later, Walkley Jeffery shared a large amount of warship data of the kingdom with Elvin. So that he can carry out data statistics and analysis through the "digital vision", and then feed back to the tackling group for subsequent continuous correction.

Because the main material of warships is oak, which grows naturally and is not highly standardized and homogenized steel, every warship of uniform specifications will be significantly different.

Even the cast iron guns on warships or the muskets in the hands of soldiers are the same. Because of the limitations of casting technology, craftsmen need to carry out the secondary processing of later refinement, which also causes the gap of weapon performance.

So they're not picky.

Instead, he hopes to make the first new warship born in his own hands achieve the best efficiency, and may even become a model of the whole kingdom's new warships.

Another whole week passed.

Even when Elvin's most important research project, the "blood of the adventurer" inhibition plan, had been successfully completed, they finally put forward the best plan based on the current conditions, which was unanimously approved by everyone.

In volkley's words,

"it's ten times more difficult to rebuild on the existing basis than to redesign a battleship!"

Of course, it's still more difficult.

A large number of sailors were called up to unload the open-air shipborne guns, and began to dismantle the upper forecastle and open deck.

But in the battle, they always thought that the warship was not strong enough. This time, they suffered a lot because of their strong hull.

Take the deck in the open air as an example:

after the initial laying, it is necessary to use tar soaked linen to plug the gap, and then pour hot tar to completely seal the wood seam, which can effectively prevent water and make the deck more stable as a whole.

Therefore, the warships that need to be scrapped will not be demolished and recovered by the Navy, but will be directly sunk in the sea as gun targets.

But the "Starnberg" is not the same, because these ship materials have other uses after dismantling, so it is impossible for them to demolish them violently.

Therefore, even if Elvin called all the surplus staff on the island to work overtime 24 hours a day, the progress of the project would not be satisfactory.

Moreover, although it does not take three or five years to rebuild a sailboat, it is also a time-consuming and laborious work.

If these sailors alone can complete the preliminary work before the deadline of their mission in the new world, it will be highly efficient.

So to avoid the long night dream, Elvin finally decided to postpone his other research projects and let these useless guys see what wizard productivity is!

It's another all night night.

But this time, unlike a few days ago, most of the soldiers have left the dock, leaving behind only the ship engineer, wockley Jeffery, the core craftsman and a small number of auxiliary sailors.

Of course, after hearing what Elvin was going to do, the officers of the Cape storm and the captain of the endeavor, Robbins, also stayed here to join in the fun.

"Sir! I don't mean to offend you, but... Can you really build a ship with witchcraft? "

From hearing Elvin's proposal until the end of the night, the senior engineer was still a little unbelievable.

There are so many strange things in the new world, and the isolation is far less strict than that in the old world. As a senior engineer with a high status, he certainly heard about witches.

But his impression is still on the strange things such as poisonous spiders, lizard tails, weird potions, curses, totems and so on. He never thought that witchcraft could be connected with the greatest weapons of human beings.

"Of course! What do you think is the origin of China's machinery industrialization

Elvin, who was working with Milan on the dry dock floor, replied to him without looking back.

If it is not good for the common human world, how can the "light of alchemy" spread all over the world come to the surface? And I want to use more intuitive means compared with it!

"Hoo, done!"At this time, the complicated operation has been completely formed in the hands of two people.

The eight meter diameter circle passes through five small circles with spiritual inscriptions. The circles are connected with each other, and together with the dense spiritual inscriptions, they form a complex array of runes.

They represent the four basic elements of alchemy: Earth, wind, water, fire and the fifth element "soul".

Then Evan began to put various "spiritual" items corresponding to the elements in each small circle.

The fire element represents vitality, passion, fire, destruction, life, sun... So what Elvin put in this circle is a 6-pound cannon.

The water element represents purification, love, witchcraft, intuition, ups and downs of fate, travel... So what he put here is a gold cup that has been with the sunken ship for three hundred years.

The earth element represents prosperity, wealth, money, success, employment, fertility... So in this circle is a polished golden lion that has experienced countless transactions.

The wind element represents knowledge, freedom, breathing, plant growth, starting point... So what Elvin put here is the extraordinary weapon sword that accompanied him through many battles.

Finally, he stood up and looked at Milan, who was on one side. The latter understood and consciously stood in the last circle representing "soul".

Elvin checked it for the last time and made sure there was no problem. I just thought in my heart, or would I write a book called "a hundred ways of using Milan"?

To stop his wishful thinking, he took off his spare things and gave them to Gary, who was guarding. He only wore a new oak fruit around his neck and a linen robe to enter the center of the round operation.

He reached for a sign. Naturally, someone went to put out all the lights in the dock.

At the same time, all the onlookers held their breath.

There was a complete silence in the dock.

Evan felt the growing spiritual power around him and took a deep breath.

Subconsciously, he touched the extra lock mark on his back neck to make sure that the "adventurer's blood" would not suddenly come out to make trouble, so he raised his hands and palms up.

It seems that the mantra containing infinite vitality is slowly spitting out, echoing and resonating in the dock.

Hoo -

then Evan's spirit rose in an instant and was connected with an existence that had great power but had no self-consciousness.

Boom!

There was a roar in my head.

That is the mysterious source of the "activation school" and the "tree of life" existing in the root of the world!

“sta！”

When the last mantra is uttered, Elvin's magic and activated aura flow into the rune array under his feet.

A string of characters, a line after another light.

Wow -

then the emerald green light, which was as transparent as jade, came out and covered half of the battleships in an instant.

Without rituals, the original limit of Evan's "activation aura" is just a sphere with a radius of three meters. As long as the volume does not exceed this range, there is no upper limit on what can be activated.

The main effect is to slightly affect the non living things or change the physical form, so that they can obtain short-term vitality like the elemental living things.

During this period, the changes will continue to exist even after the spell fails, achieving the effect of changing the material form in disguise.

Limitation: the higher the density of the material, the slower the activation speed. It is invalid for extraordinary items.

The so-called "ceremony" is to establish a connection between oneself and certain world rules, spiritual spirit, deities and so on through specific rituals. Temporarily make the ego consciousness retreat, spirit and super resonance, launch beyond their own limitations or even do not have a strong ability!

[transfinite ceremony · activate skillful hands! 】

at this time, after the launching ceremony, not only the influence scope of activating aura is greatly increased, but also the intensity is greatly enhanced. Within a straight-line distance of 30 meters, it seems that the "stardenberg" has suffered a dissociation operation.

Wood, tar, linen, nails, wedges... Slowly shaking, and then in the eyes of the onlookers incredible, jumping out of the hull, "Ding Ding Dang" fell to the ground.

And at the same time, there was the chin of the marine engineer Walkley Jeffery.

"I can't believe the goddess is up there!"

Then, with the help of this pair of "activated skillful hands" from witchcraft.

The transformation speed of warships seems to have been equipped with rocket thrusters, and they advance rapidly one by one every day.

Flattening the open deck, repairing the ribs and sides, thickening the hull...

although in order to maintain sustainability, Elvin and Milan only open the ceremony for half an hour every night, even that half an hour is less than half a month's workload of the sailors.

However, just ten days later, even the outfitting of the refitted warship was nearly completed.

But for watching it change little by little, Walkley and the officers couldn't believe their eyes."It's beautiful!"

At this time, lying in the dock of the warship has undergone tremendous changes!

The original "xingdengbao" is a large class III ship with 74 shipborne guns.

[Specification] the ship has a displacement of 2950 tons, a length of 56.42 meters, a width of 14.90 meters, a sail area of 2485 square meters and a fixed crew of 680.

[armament] there are 28 32 pound guns, 30 24 pound guns and 16 9 pound guns on the double deck and single deck.

Now its fore and aft buildings and the original open deck have completely disappeared, and become a double deck cruiser with the same height.

[Specification] the ship has a displacement of 2340 tons, a length of 56.42 meters, a width of 14.90 meters, a sail area of 3213 square meters and a fixed crew of 450.

[armament] double deck penetrating gun deck: 28 24 pound guns, 28 32 pound guns (one sunk to the deep sea, temporarily missing), 2 24 pound bow and stern guns.

There is a parameter in the hydrodynamics related to ship design called "wave barrier velocity", which is related to the length of the ship. Beyond this velocity, the resistance will surge. The correct way to build a high-speed ship is to raise the aspect ratio, increase the sail area (power), and sharpen the bow (reduce resistance).

Although the overall length and width of the ship are not as bold as Elvin, after all, it's not a simple problem of flattening and rounding. The structural strength is there. If you break the keel carelessly, you will lose a lot.

But the mast goes through several layers of cabins and connects the keel at the bottom of the ship. The lower the cabin is, the higher the mast can be used. The area of the sail is increased by one-third, and after the weight is reduced, the speed is also improved.

Although the overall speed of this cruise ship is not up to the limit speed of the "constitution", it has exceeded all the battleships of this era. If we add the assistance of "bow statue · monsoon goddess", it will never be inferior to "constitution".

Besides that.

Evan also drew a semi permanent operation on the deck, which can temporarily give the rigging and sails activity, so that he can replace most of the sailor's work in an emergency.

Also let it have a little bit of the taste of extraordinary warships.

Gather all the people who have contributed to the ship to brainstorm.

Evan finally took Walkley's advice and named the heavy cruiser "Venus", which represents the brightest morning star in the sky in the early morning, but... It won't be the only one.
