Chapter 722
The president of the Brady Ship Designers Association is an academic red-robed mage with white hair and beard, and wise wrinkles on his face.

After looking at the application form for the promotion of senior ship designer submitted by Da Liang, he said to Da Liang in an amiable tone: "Captain black hair, I am Adolf Christelsson, the president of the Brady Ship Designers Association, you call me Either Adolf or Christiansen.

First of all, I would like to wish you a smooth pass.

From your description in the application form, I can see that you are familiar with the brigantine-class warships.

The firepower of the two-masted battleship is stronger than that of the single-masted battleship, and weaker than that of the three-masted battleship, and other performances are also in between.Its positioning in naval warfare is patrol, support and guerrilla, with balanced capabilities, no matter where they are placed, they can be competent.

It is an indispensable supplementary force for a fleet.

But also because the brig can do everything, there is no outstanding point.It can't run a single-masted battleship, and can't beat a three-masted battleship. It seems that there are not many of them, but without it, it will be very uncomfortable.

This is the positioning of the two-masted battleship. It is determined that its basic design has reached a perfect balance point. It can be changed in any way, but it will never exceed its own limitations. If it is strengthened, it must be weakened.

Therefore, it is not easy to modify an excellent two-masted battleship. The transformation of a two-masted battleship really tests the talent of a ship designer.

Black-haired captain, which aspect of the brigantine has been enhanced by the test ship you submitted? "

Da Liang and Geese have already mastered the design skills of the bulbous bow. With the help of Gees, Da Liang has successfully designed a two-masted warship with a bulbous bow.

But Da Liang is not satisfied with a speed-enhanced brigantine.

Unlike the single-masted warships that mainly undertake patrol and security tasks, the two-masted warships can already shoulder some combat tasks.

After the speed is increased, the brigantine will take on more combat responsibilities.The attack must be the first to attack to seize the position, and the retreat must rely on one's own speed to stop.When the opportunity arises, a brig may also be used for a surprise attack.

If the brig is inclined to fight, its firepower and defenses are a bit thin.The size of the two-masted battleship determines that it is very difficult to install artillery, but increasing the defense can also increase its survivability.

Therefore, Da Liang proposed to Geese to thicken the hull.

Geese believes that thickening the hull means reducing the storage capacity of the battleship, making the two-masted battleship that is not very spacious in the first place even smaller.

But Da Liang pointed out that the two-masted battleship itself does not have long-distance navigation capabilities, and its supplies depend on offshore ports and large fleets. Therefore, for two-masted battleships, the storage capacity does not need too much, just enough.After the two-masted battleship speeds up, the consumption of traveling the same distance will also be reduced, and this part of storage can be reduced to improve the defense of the battleship.

Da Liang persuaded Geese, and then as a ship design master, Geese easily completed the design of a two-masted battleship that highlighted speed and defense.

Through study, Da Liang also mastered the design drawings of this kind of two-masted warship, and was named the two-masted destroyer.

At this time a two-masted destroyer was being built at the Brady Shipyard.

It's just that Da Liang didn't expect that just after he submitted his application for promotion to a senior ship designer, he would be immediately pulled in for a review, so that he didn't have a sample ship to participate in the review yet.

Facing President Adolf's question, Da Liang first took out the winner's badge he had obtained at the North Star Ship Designer Seminar, and then said: "Hello three judges, I am Black Hair, the leader of the White Fang Pirates." .I won a ship designer workshop for my design of a high speed sloop battleship.

The two-masted battleship I used to participate in the evaluation of the senior ship designer this time also adopted the speed-up design technique I successfully used on the single-masted battleship, which increased the speed of the two-masted battleship by 8%. "

When Da Liang took out the winner's medal, the three presidents were already a little moved.

The ship designer seminar is an academic seminar on ship design that only master ship designers are eligible to participate in. Senior ship designers need to be invited to participate in the ship design academic seminar. It talks about the design of ships by ship design masters experience and skills.

The three presidents all yearn for such a seminar, but none of them are masters of ship design and are not qualified to participate directly, and their identities cannot be invited to participate.

And the ship designer in front of him not only participated, but also won many master-level judges.

It's like a transfer student from a famous school came to the Pheasant University.

And when Da Liang said that he had completed the speed-up design for the two-masted battleship, the three presidents couldn't be calmer.

Speed ​​is wealth and life for pirates. They can catch up with merchant ships and run away from strong enemies.The speed increase of 8% means that the two-masted warship is close to the speed of the single-masted warship. Once such a warship appears, it will definitely sell well among the pirates.

Just 8% faster... possible?

The power source of the sailing warship determines that there is an upper limit to its speed, that is to say, no matter how modified it is, the sailing warship will not break through this upper limit.This upper limit is around 10% plus the basic model speed of each ship. The closer to this value, the more difficult it is to modify the design of the hull.

Strengthening one point will weaken other attributes.

A two-masted battleship that can speed up by 8%, can't imagine how much other performances of the hull will be reduced?
But the winner's medal means that the high-speed single-masted warship designed by Black Hair has been recognized by ship design masters, and it also means that he has mastered a very mature design technology for speeding up ships.

If a brig can achieve an 8% speed increase without too severe a cut in other areas, that's a mod that could pay off pirates in a big way.

The three presidents can't wait to see the prototype of this high-speed brigantine.

"The 8% speed increase is really an unexpected improvement. Where is this ship? We are going to board the ship now for actual ship testing."

Da Liang, who didn't have a boat, could only say, "I'm very sorry, I didn't expect to be able to conduct a promotion review so soon. Now the two-masted destroyer I designed is still under construction at the Brady Shipyard, and it will take four days to complete the construction."

The prototype ship is still under construction?
Of course the three presidents did not want to wait another four days to see this battleship.

President Adolf immediately recruited a ship design apprentice: "Hurry up and inform the shipyard, the two-masted destroyer that the black-haired captain built there is now undergoing accelerated construction immediately, and I will see it in two days.

Expedited construction was fully paid for by the Brady Naval Architects Society. "

Seeing President Adolf's eager look, the ship design apprentice immediately turned around and ran out, and then flew towards the Brady Shipyard.

And Da Liang said at this time: "President Adolf, regarding the two-masted destroyer I designed, in order to enhance its combat capability, I designed it to increase its speed, and then strengthened its defense, so that it can be used in battle. It can perform even better when it is used. According to my prediction, the defense of the brigantine destroyer is 13% higher than the base model of the brigantine battleship.”

Adolf immediately recruited another ship design apprentice: "Notify Brady Shipyard, no matter what they think of, tomorrow I must see the two-masted destroyer designed by the black-haired captain!"
