Chapter 723 Brigantine Destroyer
Under the request and investment of the chairman of the Brady Ship Designers Association, the Brady Shipyard quickly built the two-masted destroyer built by Da Liang, and finally launched the warship out of the building within the time required by Chairman Adolf. dock.

A refit of a brigantine was launched without attracting the attention of other berthed warships.The two-masted battleship is too balanced, and it can't be changed any more.Only those little pirates who have just entered the industry and don't even have a three-masted warship will take pains to modify the existing two-masted warship.

However, when the pirates at the pier discovered that the three presidents of the Brady Ship Designers Association appeared at the pier at the same time and boarded the brig at the same time, they all became restless.

The three presidents of the Brady Ship Designers Association are the treasures of the pirates.Senior ship designers can design and modify three-masted warships. Pirates who want to add three-masted warships can buy blueprints from the Brady Ship Designers Association and grab ships at sea.However, in order to transform the basic model of the three-masted warship into a three-masted modified ship suitable for pirate plunder, the three presidents must be invited to do it.

Therefore, the three senior ship designers have the respect of all pirates, and the words of the three presidents are sometimes more effective than the orders issued by the Brady Council.

Now these three presidents actually boarded a newly-launched modified brig at the same time.

All the pirates couldn't help wondering, what is the origin of this ship?
After many inquiries, the news of a mid-level ship designer's promotion evaluation was spread, and this brigantine modified ship was a sample ship used for rating.

As for who is this mid-level ship designer?What are the advantages of this modified brig?Not much information has come out yet.

But to be able to alert the three presidents to participate in the evaluation together, this brigantine modified ship must have very extraordinary characteristics.

For a time, most of the pirates in Brady City gathered on the pier, and the sky was full of pirates who knew how to fly and ride flying mounts.

Everyone waited and watched the two-masted modified ship that was about to start testing.

Da Liang accompanied the three presidents to board the newly built two-masted destroyer. Because he was so young, he was regarded by the pirates as the president's apprentice.

Two-masted battleship (speed enhancement, defense enhancement, tentative model: two-masted destroyer)

Total load capacity: 140 (originally 150)

Weapons: 20
Steering force: 95
Propulsion: 81 (originally 75)

Standard Sailor: 50
Necessary sailors: 10
Max sailors: 70
……

Da Liang got the data of the new ship, checked it with his own design, and said to the three presidents: "This brigantine destroyer has modified the structure and shape of the bow to increase the speed by reducing water resistance. effective improvement.

I think that the speed-improved brigantine destroyer has an advantage in seizing positions in naval battles and can be responsible for more combat missions. Therefore, when it is difficult to effectively increase the firepower, I have enhanced the defense of the hull. The side hull plating has been thickened by 13%.

In the case of the two-masted battleship naval battle, my two-masted destroyer has an absolute advantage; against the three-masted battleship, the two-masted destroyer also uses the increased speed and defense to increase its survivability.

The storage of this battleship has been reduced from the basic 150 to 140 due to the reduction in the transformation. "

Listening to Da Liang's introduction, the three presidents still couldn't believe that the transformation of a ship with an 8% speed increase and a 13% defense enhancement was only achieved by reducing 10 storages.If all this is true, it is definitely a design change for the two-masted warship across the ages.

With the mood of witnessing the historical moment, the three presidents immediately started the evaluation process of the two-masted destroyer.

First, check the material and structure of the hull to see if it is consistent with the paper data, especially the thickened ship plate and storage capacity have been carefully measured and calculated.

There are also hidden dangers in the internal structure of the hull after the change.

……

No problem, all measurements are ok.

The three presidents couldn't believe that such a battleship with a reasonable layout came from the hands of a mid-level designer, and they thought they couldn't do some of the whimsical ideas.

Genius, what a genius.

Since the last talented ship designer left Brady, they have never seen such a talented designer.

After confirming that there was no problem with the hull, Chairman Adolf immediately announced the sea trial of the two-masted destroyer.

While the three presidents were inspecting the two-masted destroyer, the pirates waited anxiously on the pier, and soon the sails were raised under the operation of the sailors, and the ship moved.

If a pirate is asked to see the pros and cons of a ship from the structure and design of a warship, they probably won't be able to see anything, but let them look at a sailing ship, and he can easily see the quality of the ship. Strengths and weaknesses.

The two-masted modified ship that caused the three presidents to board the ship had just started, and the pirates immediately noticed the advantage of this ship in terms of acceleration compared with ordinary two-masted warships.

The test brig left the pier and continued to accelerate towards the middle of the inner lake. Its speed was getting faster and faster. When it reached the base speed of a brig, its speed was still increasing.

At this time, the pirates finally knew why a modified brigantine attracted three presidents to test it together, it was really too fast!

Do all pirates know what speed means to them?
When a naval battle breaks out, your faster speed means that you can occupy a favorable position a little bit earlier, and this means who can survive after the battle.

And the speed improvement of this brigantine modified ship is definitely not a little bit, 5%?

Do not!
It must be above 5%!

This modified two-masted ship has aroused the interest of all pirates. If the speed increase by 5% does not weaken the other performance of the hull much, you can consider introducing a batch of such speed-enhanced two-masted warships to improve the patrol capabilities of your fleet.

The pirates carefully watched every detail of the sea trial.

The number of guns has not changed, 12-pound iron smoothbore guns, the standard guns of the brigantine.

The appearance, ship superstructure, steering, etc. do not seem to have changed much.

The increase in the speed of the ship should be achieved by reducing the material used to reduce the weight of the hull, and the reduction in self-weight represents the decline in the structure and defense of the hull.

What can such a fast warship do?It depends on how the owner uses it.

In short, the tests personally presided over by the three presidents are still going on... shelling, sharp turns, and snake-like maneuvers. After the transformation, the ship has no problems in driving and fighting. It is a very good modified ship.

Now we are waiting for the test results of this modified two-masted ship, and then decide to order several such warships based on the evaluation of the three presidents.

For strengthening such an unreasonable warship, the three presidents did not dare to be sloppy in the test, and the whole test process lasted from morning to evening...

When the two-masted destroyer re-docked on the pier, the three presidents dragged their tired bodies and walked off the battleship.

The pirates who were eager to know the test results surrounded it together, and they requested that the attributes of this modified brig be announced now.

The ship designer who serves the pirates does not have too much airs, and the surrounded President Adolf said using the magic of amplification: "I am very honored to be able to personally test this two-masted destroyer. Through the designer's naming of it, you can see This brigantine modified ship is more inclined to combat. After testing, we also believe that it can fulfill the duties entrusted to it by the designer.

8% speed increase, which is close to the theoretical modification upper limit of a two-masted battleship, and I have never seen a battleship that can increase the speed to this level in my life.It's nothing short of a miracle, and I don't even see how this speedup is achieved.

But its designer was not only satisfied with the improvement of speed, he gave the battleship stronger performance through the modification design.

13% Defense Enhancement!
You heard it right... This is the two-masted destroyer, which has achieved an 8% speed increase and a 13% defense increase.Compared with these, the reduced 10 storage capacity is simply not worth mentioning.

Before today, I didn't believe that such a two-masted battleship existed, but it is actually parked by my side now.

From now on, I can tell all of you that all the brigantines in your hands can be eliminated!
All the brigantines in this world can be eliminated! "
