Chapter 349 Winner

The watertight compartment technology that Keith said changed the internal design of the battleship, which the masters of the jury had already seen on the single-masted combat ship.

In order to achieve the effect of isolation, a large number of supporting ribs were subtracted. After Gith's reminder, the masters immediately thought of the disadvantages brought by the watertight cabin.

If it is necessary to reduce the number of deck layers and reduce the height of the ship, then the watertight cabin is not worth the candle for a warship.

However, it would be really uncomfortable for the jury to admit their mistakes and then forward the winning award to Da Liang.

"Yes, the watertight cabin technology is indeed immature for the time being and cannot be applied to large warships, but we can still see its changes to the sloop. The watertight cabin makes the sloop more survivable, making the original A single-masted warship that can only roam around the periphery of the battlefield is capable of participating in artillery battles against large warships.

I think for that alone, the Combat Sloop is a great design, enough to win this award. "

Unexpectedly, the master of the jury was still stubborn, and Geese said calmly: "Before you make a decision, I suggest that you do an overloaded bombardment test on this single-masted combat ship to see if it is really capable of naval warfare." character of."

Gith's words made the masters of the jury suddenly realize that they had overlooked one point. The watertight cabin will weaken the vertical pressure resistance of the ship. In addition to the downward pressure generated by the superstructure of the hull, the recoil of the artillery when firing down.

Can this single-masted combat ship withstand the pressure of the artillery salvo on the hull?
Although in the test just now, the jury also let the single-masted combat ship come in for a bombardment test to observe the changes in the hull during the bombardment.

But just now it was just a round of salvo, and the real naval battle would not end with one round of shells.

The overload bombardment test mentioned by Guise is to simulate the intensity of shelling in naval battles, and to conduct continuous firing to observe the damage changes of the hull.

The masters of the jury did not dare to reject the evaluation proposed by Gies. If this single-masted battleship really cannot withstand the damage caused by the overloaded bombardment to the hull, and they judge this design as the winner, once such a warship If there is a serious design accident, it will be a major blow to the reputation of the five reviewers.

Although the masters of the jury felt that the internal structure of the sloop should be able to withstand the recoil of ten guns, they allowed further tests on the sloop just in case.

A group of gun testers was added to the combat sloop.

The battleship sailed away from the pier again to the distant sea.

At this time, everyone's attention on the shore was on the single-masted combat ship that was about to undergo shelling tests, and Da Liang took this opportunity to order Sidney to salvage the Titan's corpse underwater at the pier.

"Boom boom boom..."

The battle sloop fired into the empty water.

The sound was deafening, covering up a few slight falls into the water.

The shelling test began, and the gunfire continued.

Several skeleton soldiers were tied with ropes and fell to the bottom of the sea under the leadership of an undead hero.

The salvage of dragon corpses in the waters of Qingye Island gave the Black Fire Fleet rich experience in seabed salvage.The wharf of the Ship Designers Association was not big, and the body of Titan had not been covered by the sediment on the seabed, so it was easily found by the salvage team.

The shelling on the distant sea caused turmoil in the bottom of the water, and the sea fish frightened by the sound waves fled around.

The undead were not affected by this harsh environment, they skillfully tied the cables they brought down to the Titan's body, one by one binding the Titan tightly.

The work of searching and binding was quickly completed, and the underwater undead were quietly pulled onto the boat.

"My lord, the task has been completed."

After receiving Sidney's reply, Da Liang turned his gaze back to the sea this time.

Suddenly, the gunfire of the single-masted battleship stopped, and then the battleship quickly turned around and headed towards the pier under the operation of the sailors.

But its speed obviously couldn't be raised, and the waterline outside the hull kept moving up.

Obviously, the single-masted combat ship was taking in a lot of water.

The impact of the watertight cabin on the ship was as expected. The pressure of the bombardment caused cracks in the hull, and the sea water poured in. The single-masted combat ship sank before driving far, and the personnel on the shore quickly sent people to Rescue those sailors who are in distress.

The masters of the jury were also silent.

A battleship that cannot even withstand its own bombardment is probably not qualified to participate in naval warfare.

Now that the sloop is silent, the jury is out of options.

Da Liang obtained the intermediate ship designer certificate as he wished, not only promoted to intermediate ship designer, but also increased the drawing rate of brigantine ships by 10%.

In addition, the speed-enhanced sloop No. 1 also won this year's ship design review.

Obtain a Ship Design Master Medal.

Ship Design Master Medal: The basic drawing rate of ship design is increased by 10%, and there is a 5% chance of producing boutique-level warship blueprints.

Ships are divided into five categories according to their quality: ordinary (basic attributes); elite (with ship skills); legendary (with ship skills and flagship skills); mythical (with ship skills, flagship skills, and law-like weapons).

The elite level and the legendary level can be transformed through alchemy.

None of the elite battleships of the Great Bright Blackfyre Fleet can reach this level. It requires the territory's alchemy technology to reach a certain level, and possesses alchemy formulas to enchant ships or equipment.

And the 5% chance brought by the Ship Design Master Medal will show the blueprints of boutique-class warships, allowing Da Liang to quickly obtain a small number of boutique-class warships to arm his fleet.

The Intermediate Ship Designer Certificate and the Ship Design Master Medal increased Da Liang's drawing rate by 20%.

In other words, even if Da Liang uses blank blueprints, he can mass-produce brigantines and improve his proficiency as long as he is willing to spend gold coins.

However, seeing that it would cost 1000 gold to generate the blueprint of a two-masted ship, Da Liang decided to learn the drawing and sketches of a two-masted ship first.

The Titan's corpse has been bound to the "Skeleton Soldier".

Da Liang knew that he had offended the Ship Designers Association, and was afraid that Ye Changmeng would find out something that should not be discovered by the people here, so he left North Star City with Jiss on the "Skeleton Soldier" after receiving the reward.

The titan's body was dragged and brought out of the water by the Blackfyre fleet.

"This is your 'Flying Thunder God Art' ring. You are very lucky. The ring made by our three masters is already very close to the effect of my own 'Flying Thunder God Art'."

Nicole and the Prophet reached the cabin of the "Skeleton Soldiers" via short-distance teleportation, and the Titan was successfully brought out, just below the ship.

The action was very smooth, and Nicole happily threw the ring to Da Liang.
