Extraordinary Sailing

In today's era of sailing warships, where huge ships and artillery dominate, theoretically the larger the size and the more ship-borne artillery, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

This is also the origin of the original classification standards for Tier VI warships.

The typical representative among them is the legendary battleship "Sea King", known as the most powerful battleship in the history of mankind, in the empire of Hilius that has been brewing for a long time but finally died.

The designed displacement is 5826 tons, four-layer artillery deck, 170 various ship-borne artillery pieces, which are constructed by the "curse school".

We must know that the most powerful first-tier battleships of all sea power nations are no more than 110 naval guns. In the vision of the senior leaders of Hilius, if this "sea kingship" can really turn into reality from blueprints, it will definitely To become a true maritime hegemon, no warship is qualified to be its opponent.

The thinking of ship engineers is obviously limited to the attack method of the front-mounted smoothbore gun, and strive to maximize the power of artillery. In an era when accuracy is all about luck, as a mobile fort at sea, of course, the more artillery it carries, the stronger it is.

But all this is just based on the current level of technology.

At least from the perspective of Ivan's transcendence era, the relationship between battle effectiveness, battlefield adaptability and body size of a battleship is not a positive correlation. Even if the aircraft carrier wants to exert its combat effectiveness, it needs the cooperation of an entire aircraft carrier battle group, not to mention the sailing battleships of this era.

From sailing battleships to steam ironclad ships to modern warships. There is a complete technological upgrade route in Aiwen's brain, and of course he is ready to do it in one step.

As for the shipbuilding industry technology, what should we do if we only know a little about it? The technology is not enough to witchcraft.

So witchcraft is not enough? Krypton gold is here!

However, the specific shipbuilding steps are still carried out in a general way, hull component processing → hull structure assembly → launch → outfitting → sea trial → completion of construction.

If the requirements are carried out in accordance with normal shipbuilding facilities standards, the docks of the Port of Hattrafa are undoubtedly unqualified.

During construction, the hull is inclined 1/20 towards the sea, and the keel piers, belly piers...and the hull are assembled here. Considering the needs of launching, most of the slipway will pre-determine the location of the launching platform, and some have also set up structures and tracks for launching.

During the construction process that lasted for several years, a series of equipment, facilities, and construction steps were extremely complicated, but at this time they were replaced by Aiwen's witchcraft.

And his first shipbuilding plan is not a few years but a few hours.

call--

Surrounded by the vibrant emerald green brilliance, the endless sounds of rustling vegetation continue to echo in the large dock.

One after another, the sapwood that had been stripped of the bark and was of lower quality, leaving only the "treasure tree" of the black core material, was re-infused with life, constantly squirming and re-growing with the boat materials around.

In the gazes of the onlookers in awe.

First, it completely merged into a huge tree lying horizontally, and then slowly turned into a huge spindle-shaped wooden cocoon supported by twenty thick roots and one meter above the ground. The total length is close to one hundred and fourteen. Ten meters.

At this time, the right to control the growth direction of this "giant tree" has been completely handed over to Ivan's hands, and An Qi is only used as an aid to stabilize the "activated aura".

Extraordinary boat material, which is almost impossible for a mortal to precisely process, is as soft as plasticine in his hands.

In the first step, the keel is shaped.

It also marked the first step in shipbuilding: laying the keel.

The reason why sailing warships must have a keel is that high-quality wood is used for splicing to make square wood. After being used as a longitudinal bottom member, it is very easy to build wooden ships and ensure subsequent structural strength.

This kind of keel extends to both ends of the bow and stern, and then spliced ​​by wooden boards. It is not only the end connecting part of the wooden boards, but also the largest force support in the hull frame, ensuring that the warship will not fall apart in wind and waves.

But for modern warships, they have all been built with high-strength steel structures, and the load-bearing capacity has been dispersed throughout the hull. Although it is still called "keel", it is no longer a "keel" in the sense of a sailing warship.

In Aiwen’s design of the “V”-shaped bottom of the battleship, in addition to the inner keel or longitudinal girder of the battleship, the bottom plate of the longitudinal line is also a part of the keel, which is called the flat keel. The column is closed.

Even most modern large warships are built in sections and then welded later. Excellent materials ensure the structural strength of the hull.

I just don’t know how long the kingdom’s accumulated wealth has been emptied by being able to build the 120-meter-long "Steam Fortress" with a displacement of 5,000 tons using all-metal materials.

簌簌簌簌...

The spindle-shaped "wood cocoon" supported in mid-air, following the command of Ivan, deformed a little bit from the bottom of the ship into an overall "V" shape. The inner middle inner keel, side inner keel, ribs, and water holes... . And so on, the structure is formed in turn.

Under the precise control of the "data-based vision", even the deviation of two decimal places is impossible.

of course.

As a naturally grown material, "Treasure Tree" does not escape the common problem of wood. The interior is actually made up of many xylem fibers arranged in parallel. The strength of the connection between these fibers is far less than that of a whole root. The inside of the fiber.

At this point, it is not like steel is a crystalline state at the micro level, but is completely coherent at the macro level, which determines that steel has good macro mechanical properties and mechanical conductivity.

but.

Even though mortals have nothing to do with the wood that has grown and felled, they can't beat Irving at all.

In the process of re-growth and shaping, wood fibers, which are more flexible than steel wires, woven and crossed themselves like a snake to form a net-like reinforcing rib inside the hull structure.

The special physical structure that even modern technology is difficult to create makes it stronger and more resilient than pure special steel.

In this process, there is no mortise and tenon structure, no nails and crutch, let alone welding. It has the ability to flatten and round the ship's materials at will, just like a battleship growing out of a living tree, without any structural weaknesses.

The second step is the construction of the bottom compartment.

There is no need for dozens or hundreds of side guns like sail battleships, so Ivan eliminated the front and rear transparent artillery decks and adopted a more reliable watertight cabin design below the waterline.

third step,.....

In the flash of aura, no one among the onlookers was willing to take his eyes away.

that's it.

After the "big tree" continued to grow for three full hours, the [Activated Hand] marked with emerald green light finally began to gradually disperse.

The "Wooden Cocoon" originally supported by twenty root systems has completely changed into another look, a long and narrow warship with a very futuristic feel.

The surface of the ship hull was glowing with matte black metallic luster, and there was no trace of the original wooden ship material.

There are almost no vertical plane parts in the superstructure, and all the structures are slightly inclined, as if they are composed of huge diamond blocks.

In the middle of the battleship in the superstructure, a tower that reaches nearly twelve meters tall is formed, and the front and the back are low and smooth. There are regular holes all over the deck, which are obviously reserved for some equipment to be installed later. position.

Just looking at it from the surface, it almost completely subverted the design concept of sailing battleships in this era, not to mention the more complex structures inside the battleship.

"Although it looks a little weird, there is not even a side gun hole, but if you use one word to describe it, it would be...cool!"

Calvin's words drew unanimous approval from everyone.

Let alone the core of the battleship, just the design aesthetics that transcend the times have conquered everyone.

The total length of the hull at this time is 132 meters, and the side width is 16 meters. The thickest part of the hull is almost one meter different from the first-class battleship. The full-load displacement after the design and outfitting is 2,800 tons.

In fact, the thickness of the shell steel plate of modern 10,000-ton warships is only a little more than 1 cm. Even the shell steel plate of large sea ships is generally only 2 to 5 cm. Aiwen is bullying people by relying on the excellent performance of the "Treasure Tree", and the defensive power of the hull is not much worse than the one-meter-thick steel plate.

It is conceivable that in this era, even if the muzzle velocity is 933 meters per second, the projectile weight and range of the alchemy artillery fired at 95.9 kilograms and 40 kilometers respectively will be sad and weeping.

After all, even for special armor-piercing projectiles, the armor-piercing capability is measured in millimeters. It is amazing enough to penetrate 160 mm armor at a distance of one kilometer.

Even the M829A3 depleted uranium alloy armor-piercing projectile, known as the world’s strongest, has a maximum penetration of only 900 mm.

Stacking the armor to this degree, this warship can almost ignore all conventional weapons in this world.

Of course, the opponent of the "Legendary Warship" will always be the "Legendary Warship", and it is totally hard to say what kind of attack it will encounter at that time.

Finally, Ivan mysteriously completed the two parts that had been manufactured in advance, with extraordinary aura flashing like steel shafts, inserted them into the holes reserved at the stern, and installed two two-person tall four-leaf clover-shaped golden oars. leaf.

At this point, the main body of the battleship was completely declared complete.

Yuan Sailing, which used the shipbuilding and transportation industries as one of its pillars a long time ago, obviously will not waste the Nymph, a representative of peak productivity. In terms of shipbuilding technology alone, even this great wizard has a place in the entire human world. .

But this graceful and noble lady looked at the weird main body of the warship and couldn't help but wonder:

"Ivan, does this warship have no masts and sails? How to drive it?"

Pulling An Qi away from the rough battleship, Ivan smiled mysteriously at Nymph:

"Let's go, UU reading www.uukānshu.com can it move, let's try it and we will know?"

Snapped--!

Snapped his fingers.

In the cyan clouds, twenty roots shrank as if the melons were ripening, and the battleship disappeared. When it reappears, it has entered the lake outside the [Witchcraft Garden].

There were no waves at all during the entry into the water, and damage during mechanical movement was avoided to the utmost extent. This is also the main reason why the "outfitting" came after the "launch" in the shipbuilding process.

Next second.

Everyone in the dock has already fallen on the deck of this warship, carefully following Ivan into the tower, and came to what he called the bridge.

After the final assembly of the hull is completed and successfully launched, the next step is to outfit the battleship.

Just like decorating after obtaining a rough house, water and electricity pipelines, floors, furniture... are added one by one. For warships, it is the installation of combat, support, and navigation systems. Of course, there is the most critical step-activating the ship spirit!
