Game of Thrones: I'm flying a dragon on your face, how do you respond?
Chapter 54 The Storm is Coming
On this day, Jaehaerys was receiving a young man named Caesar Weaverwater, whose bloodline can be traced back to the illegitimate son of the Targaryen and Velaryon families.
"Your ship model is well made. Have you tried to make a smaller sample to go to sea?" Jaehaerys held a beautiful ship model in his hand.
This ship model is 30cm long and 10cm wide. There are no portholes for rowing. It has 3 masts. The front two masts are hung with two hurdles, and the rear one is hung with a triangular sail. The bow and stern are very high, which can be used to arrange catapults or large siege crossbows!
Its ship type has a more slender body than the existing royal warships, and the bottom of the ship is beautifully streamlined. It can be seen that the designer designed a lateral resistance surface below the waterline in order to resist the lateral impact of the waves and improve the stability of the ship.
Jaehaerys did not know much about the design of the ship, but he had been on the ship for so long, and he had more or less gained some knowledge.
"Your Highness, this ship has not yet been built as a prototype, but I guarantee that it will definitely meet your requirements!" Caesar was very confident.
"If this ship is built larger, how fast do you think it will run?" Jaehaerys continued to ask him.
"With a tailwind, it is estimated to be twice as fast as the current warships!"
"What if it is against the wind?"
"I designed a huge cross sail and tail sail for it, and it can run faster than the existing warships by using the wind in a Z-shaped way!"
"Hehe..." Jaehaerys said that the young man was very confident. This kind of ship is suitable for ocean voyages at a glance, and Jaehaerys has seen a lot of such ships.
Recently, with the development of trade, ships from many places have docked at the docks of Dragonstone Island, including large whalers from Ibben Island, swan ships from the Summer Islands, and large sailing ships from the Free Trade City.
He did not see the superiority of this model compared to the above ships. It can be said that the design of this ship is standard, but it did not make him feel bright.
Caesar was a little frustrated. This was the best design he could come up with, but it was obviously not attractive enough! Alas! The hope of reviving the Weiweishui family was shattered again in his hands!
"If you are good enough, I will make a small modification suggestion to see if you can redesign it!" Jaehaerys said calmly again.
"Your Highness... please give your instructions!" Caesar's eyes immediately lit up with hope.
"Look, can it be like this... then like this... and then like this..." Jaehaerys took a quill pen and casually scribbled on a piece of parchment. The boat he drew was no different from a child's graffiti.
As Caesar listened, his eyes gradually became bright, but at the same time he fell into trouble. Although the ideas proposed by His Highness Jaehaerys were novel, the requirements for construction technology and materials were too high!
With such a slender and low hull, wouldn't it take in water if the waves hit it? And the sails were too big, so the speed would undoubtedly be very fast, but there was also the problem of insufficient strength of the mast and crossbar.
If the wind was strong, the mast might be blown off!
"Okay! This is my immature idea. Go back and think about it and see if you can come up with a mature design plan as soon as possible!" Jaehaerys threw down his pen. I am the client and I only make requirements. It doesn't matter if I can't do it. Just keep improving it!
If I can design it myself, why do I need you professionals? !
Haha! What he hated most back then was the client's father who came up with one idea after another, but now he has become the person he once hated the most!
As for the design plan he proposed, it is not a tree without roots or a source without water, but a clipper ship used by the "King of the Sea"!
It's just that this design concept exceeds too much at this time. He dare not think about how much Caesar can absorb, but as long as he can increase the speed of the existing ships to more than 2 times, he will be satisfied!
"Daoyou! You should not practice Qi in the near future!" Suddenly, Duobao Miaoshu sent a telepathic voice.
"Oh? Why?"
"You don't know, just now a divine thought of the celestial realm enveloped the entire Dragonstone..."
"Ah?! How come I didn't sense it again? I'm about to become a person with three flowers gathering at the top of my head..."
"So, you can't find it, you can see how powerful the celestial masters are!"
The celestial masters don't have nothing to do, they use their divine thoughts to play all day, so something big must be happening! The only thing that can be called a big thing recently... Counting the days, it's probably when the mother of dragons is about to be born, right? !
So, the unprecedented storm is coming? ! Or, this storm was caused by the birth of the mother of dragons?
If it's the latter, the celestial master is so terrifying!
No matter what his plan is, he wants to destroy the royal fleet of Dragonstone Island that he has worked so hard to transform with a storm, that's peach!
"Send a message to Sir Tretimon..." Jaehaerys summoned an inner guard.
A moment later, Sir Tretimont came over. The old man had been very successful recently, and his career had started to flourish. He was promoted from a captain of the Marine Guard to the commander-in-chief of the fleet.
Usually, this position was held by the Minister of the Sea, which is now the Minister of the Navy.
But Earl Luthriss was not interested in politics now, and was immersed in the pleasure of the things.
In addition, most of the warships of the Velaryan family had been reorganized into the Royal Fleet, of course, this was paid for by Jaehaerys!
Similarly, the Celtigar family was treated equally. As for the price, Jaehaerys at least paid a 10% premium!
The two families now only have a few patrol ships and small warships left to protect themselves, but their voice in the Admiralty has been greatly reduced.
"Your Highness, where are you going to fight again?" Sir Tretimont has now become a warmonger, looking at this and that and being angry all day long, and he is not afraid of being laughed at by others.
The key is that in the previous battles, the Royal Fleet of Dragonstone won the victory with very little or almost no damage, and the Royal Fleet from top to bottom received a lot of rewards! In addition, the military merit calculation system has been reformed, rewards are given according to merit, and promotions are given according to merit. Even the most ordinary rowers can get rewards through war.
As a result, the entire Royal Fleet is now happy to hear about war, and the warlike heart has become a trend.
"Sir, don't be so extreme!" Jaehaerys said. How can I, a peace-loving person, lead a group of soldiers who are howling for war all day long? It's really confusing!
"The Royal Fleet inspector reported to me earlier that some ships are already full of shipworms... If we don't go to the Tamsui River estuary in time, there will be a risk of leakage at the bottom of the ship..."
"So I decided that you will lead the Royal Fleet to the Trident River estuary north of the Crab Claw Peninsula and anchor for a while... to completely kill the shipworms, barnacles and other attachments to the bottom of the ship!"
