Chapter 348 The Disadvantages of the Watertight Cabin
The masters of the jury thought that the speed-enhanced No. 1 single-masted ship designed by Da Liang would activate certain alchemy equipment or magic circles that could increase the speed of the ship while sailing.

However, after they sailed around the sea and truly realized that this single-masted warship was much faster than the basic model, they all got off the ship in a daze.

"How is this possible? The internal structure of this single-masted battleship is almost the same as that of ordinary models. Only the shape of the bow has been slightly changed. How could it be possible to increase the speed of the ship so much? When you were sailing, you found that Is there magical energy?"

"No, I found nothing."

"I don't know if you have noticed the change in the bow of the ship? The bow of this single-masted warship is sharper, which has very good wave breaking performance, and at the same time it does not affect the ship's steering ability. I guess the reason for all this is that It’s caused by the bulge under the bow, but I haven’t figured out what the reason is.”

Da Liang's speed-enhanced No. 1 single-masted ship shocked the masters of the jury. When they gathered together to discuss the design principle of the bulbous bow, Kui Tu walked up to Da Liang and said.

"You actually researched the bulbous bow in the game? I also suggested to my mentor that this can increase the speed of the ship, but the ship designer in this game doesn't seem to be aware of the power consumption of water fluctuations. , Without this front-end technology, it would be impossible to study bulbous bows. It seems that your mentor has already done a very in-depth study on the influence of water fluctuations on ships."

Seeing all the ship designers have incredible expressions, especially the masters of the jury, they can't wait to go into the water to study the shape of the bulbous bow, which makes Da Liang very proud.

"So-so, my mentor is a master who can design a third-tier battleship. I have been studying how to increase the speed of the ship and design a second-tier battleship for so many years, and I have achieved some results in reducing water wave resistance. Therefore, I proposed to him the bulbous bow The design was quickly researched by him, and everything came naturally."

Kwai Tu knew that Daliang's mentor was a master ship designer, but he didn't expect that he was a master who could design a third-tier battleship.

However, through his mentor, Kwai Tu knew that there were only two ship design masters in China who could design Tier [-] battleships, one in Hong Kong City and the other in Beixing City. I had never heard of such a master in Shangjiang.

Is Da Liang lying?
But no matter what, Kwaito is already envious of being able to pay homage to a master ship designer, and he has easily developed a bulbous bow.

To increase the speed of the sloop, and to increase the survivability of the sloop, in any case, the speed increase of the sloop requires a higher level of design.

Kuito came here full of expectations for the Ship Design Master Medal, but she didn't expect to meet a better warship design than herself here.

Kui Tu sighed silently. At this time, the jury also made the final ranking for the ship designs participating in the review.

"The ship designs for this election show us the future of ship design, especially the design of the two single-masted warships. If they can be widely used, they will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes for future ships.

It is difficult for us to choose between the single-masted battleship and the speed-enhanced single-masted No. 1 ship, who should win the championship.

However, after careful discussion by our jury, we agreed that the watertight cabin technology used by the single-masted combat ship is more practical. It can allow our warships to survive the war for a longer time, and give some seriously injured warships a chance to be safe. arrived at the port for maintenance.

We therefore declare the winner of this class of ship designs to be..."

What a turn of events, Kwai Tu did not expect that his design was finally selected as the winner by the masters of the jury.It seems that although the masters have succumbed in their mouths, they are still brooding about the actions of the Grand Palace. It seems that he is the one who has the last laugh.

"I object to the judging of this class of winners by the judging team."

Just when the jury was about to announce the winner as the sloop, a voice suddenly appeared on the pier.

Then Keith broke through the crowd and came over.

A master of the jury said: "Master Geese, you are not qualified to question the judgment of the jury."

Geese said: "Matthew, I know you. When I successfully designed the third-tier battleship 'Conqueror', you just advanced to the master ship designer. And the highest achievement of your five is only to be able to design four Class battleship level. I think I am fully qualified to question your judgment."

While it's no big secret in the Society of Ship Designers that Keith's brain is a problem, his accomplishments are there.

Each level of battleship has a technological leap. Although the difference between the third-level battleship and the fourth-level battleship is only one level, there is an insurmountable technological gap.

And as Geese, who can design a third-tier battleship, he is indeed qualified to question the judgment of the jury.

Of course, what Geese can do is only questioning. He can say his reasons, but the final judgment is still in the hands of the jury.

Therefore, the masters of the jury did not argue with Geese, but allowed Geese to express his views.

Anyway, we just don't award the winners to your disciples.

"Okay, Master Guise. You have made extraordinary achievements in ship design, and we would like to hear your views on the design of these two single-masted warships."

Gith, who was allowed, said: "As for the speed-enhanced No. 1 single-masted ship designed by my disciples, everyone has seen that it breaks through the second-tier battleship design for us, and points out a feasible path. I will explain its significance." Say no more.

As for the ship's watertight compartment technology added to the single-masted combat ship...

In fact, the reason for my confusion now is the research on watertight cabin technology.

The watertight cabin technology can not only improve the survivability of the ship, but also reduce the internal materials of the hull to reduce the weight.

But I found that if a watertight compartment is added to the hull, the use of ribs must be greatly reduced, and the impact of weakened internal support on the hull is not obvious on the single-masted battleship.But once the watertight cabin is added in the hull of the two-masted and three-masted warship, the weakened pressure bearing capacity of the hull will not allow to bear too high and too heavy superstructure.

To solve this problem, the only way to flatten the hull is to disperse the pressure on the superstructure.

The flatness of the hull brings about the slowdown of the ship's speed and the insufficient number of artillery.

Of course, the application of watertight cabin technology on merchant ships is still good. The reduction of internal materials allows more space and more cargo can be installed.

But as a battleship... If I don't use alchemy to improve the strength of the hull and use conventional materials to make watertight cabins, at least I haven't done it before my head has a problem. "
