Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 593: Final assembly completed

In today’s era of sailing warships, where giant ships and artillery are in power, 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-the “Sea King”, known as the most powerful battleship in human history, in the empire of Hilius, which has been brewing for a long time but finally died.

Designed with a displacement of 5826 tons, a four-layer artillery deck, and 170 various ship-borne artillery pieces, which were constructed by the “Cursed School”.

You must know that the current strongest first-tier battleships of all sea power nations are no more than 110 naval guns. In the vision of the high-level Hilius, if this “sea kingship” can really turn into reality from blueprints , Will surely become a true maritime hegemon, and 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 Aiwen’s transcendence era, the relationship between battle effectiveness, battlefield adaptability and body size 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. Aiwen has a complete technological upgrade route in his brain, and of course he is ready to do it in one step.

As for the shipbuilding industry technology is only half-knowledge, what should I do? The technology is not enough to witchcraft.

So witchcraft is not enough? Krypton gold to come together!

But 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 in the Port of Hattrafa are undoubtedly unqualified.

During construction, the hull keeps a 1/20 slant toward the sea. Arrange keel piers, belly piers…and assemble the hull on it. 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 repairing procedures were extremely complicated, but at this time they were all replaced by Aiwen using witchcraft.

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

Call——

Surrounded by the vibrant emerald green brilliance, the sound of rustling vegetation continues to reverberate in the large dock.

One after another, the sapwood that has been peeled off the bark and is of lower quality, only the “treasure tree” of the black core material is refilled with vitality, constantly creeping and growing again with the boat materials around me Come together.

In the awe-inspiring gaze of the onlookers.

First, it completely merged into a giant 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 already close. One hundred and forty 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 process precisely, is as soft as plasticine in his hands.

The first step is to shape the keel.

It is also the first step that marks the beginning of 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 fore and aft, and then is spliced ​​by wooden boards. It is not only the end connection part of the wooden boards, but also the largest force support in the hull frame to ensure that the warship will not fall apart in the wind and waves.

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

In Aiwen’s design of the “V”-shaped bottom of the battleship, in addition to the inner keel or longitudinal girders of the battleship, the bottom plate of the longitudinal line is also part of the keel, called the flat keel, and the bow and stern extend to Connect with the stern post.

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 was emptied when the 120-meter-long “Steam Fortress” with a displacement of 5,000 tons was constructed using all-metal materials.

Rainy…

The spindle-shaped “wooden cocoon” propped in mid-air was transformed into an overall “V” shape a little bit from the bottom of the ship under the command of Ivan. Holes…and so on, the structure is formed in sequence.

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 behind. The inside of a whole 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.

However.

Although mortals have nothing to do with the wood that has grown and felled, they can’t beat Ivan 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 is difficult to create even with modern technology makes it stronger and more resilient than pure special steel.

In this process, there is no tenon-and-mortise structure, no nails or 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 canceled the front and rear transparent artillery deck, and adopted a more reliable watertight cabin design below the waterline.

The third step,…..

Amidst the twinkling of aura, no one among the onlookers was willing to take their eyes away.

That’s it.

After the “big tree” kept growing for three full hours, the [Activated Hand] marked with emerald green light finally began to gradually disperse.

The “Wooden Cocoon” that was originally supported by twenty root systems has completely changed into another look. It is a long and narrow warship with a very futuristic feel.

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

There are almost no vertical plane parts in the upper structure, 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, there is a tower that is nearly twelve meters tall. The front and the back are low and smooth. The deck is covered with regular holes of large and small, which are obviously some equipment for later installation. Reserve a place.

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 internal structures of battleships.

“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’s not talk about the core of the battleship, just the design aesthetics that transcend the times have already 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 close to one meter and it is almost the same as the first-class battleship. The full load displacement after the design and outfitting is 2,800 tons.

Actually, the thickness of the shell steel plates of modern 10,000-ton warships is only a little over 1 cm, even the shell steel plates of large sea vessels are generally only 2 to 5 cm. Aiwen is bullying people entirely 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 ability 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 900 mm.

Folding the armor to such an extent, 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 completely difficult to say what kind of attack it will encounter at that time.

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

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

Yuan Sailing, which used the shipbuilding industry and transportation industry as one of its pillars a long time ago, obviously will not waste the nymph, the representative of peak productivity. In terms of shipbuilding technology alone, even in the entire human world, Wizards also have a place.

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 this rough battleship, Ivan smiled mysteriously at Nymph:

“Go~IndoMTL.com~ can we move, let’s try it and we will know?”

Slap——!

Snap your fingers.

Amidst the turquoise 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].

In the process of entering the water, no waves occurred at all, and damage during mechanical movement was avoided to the greatest extent. This is also the main reason why the “outfitting” was placed after the “launching” in the shipbuilding process.

Next second.

Everyone in the dock has already landed on the deck of this battleship, 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 battleships, it is the installation of combat, support, and navigation systems. Of course, there is the most critical step-activating the ship’s spirit!
