Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chris and Benoit lowered their bodies, almost pressing their eyes against the wide desk, staring at Harvey's spread out drawings, with a look of thought.

"Sir, this... is this your newly designed military ship?" Benoit straightened up and coughed with a reserved look. "I am blunt, this does not conform to the conventional ship structure at all..."

The front is pointed and the back is round, and the middle is thick... the whole thing is like a large spindle with a corner cut off. The key is... this thing looks like a completely closed style. The two of them look horizontally and vertically but they can't see where the deck is.

The new ship has a total diameter of about twelve meters, but its middle section has expanded to nearly six meters wide, which is thicker and more bulky than the iron-armored ships sailing on the Ralph River, and is no different from a slightly elongated turtle shell.

The most special thing is that in the entire hull structural drawing, the new ship is split to form several partition modules, each module is equipped with a link port and a connecting groove, which seems to be able to piece together the complete hull directly into the like.

Chris has been under Harvey for a long time and has long been used to the idea of ​​being wild and creative in the city lord, but he can see many tricks from the drawings, "The fully enclosed deck can effectively defend against enemy attacks, but This will also block the field of view, and if the ship is assembled with metal in a body...not only is the draught too deep, but the load and driving speed are also big issues."

Seeing that his subordinates pointed out direct design defects and functional problems, Harvey was not angry and smiled and said, "These problems can be solved. This is indeed a new warship that will be put into experimental production soon."

As for why it is designed to be fully enclosed... Harvey gently stroked the design drawing and said in a deep voice: "I hope it can not only drive normally on the water surface, but also have to dive into the bottom and fight in the water. Function…so I plan to name it a submarine.”

Submarine? Fighting in the water?

Chris and Benoit looked at each other in shock, unable to say a word.

The chief alchemist immediately recalled the high-level emergency meeting held not long ago, swallowed with difficulty, and whispered: "You are... you are... you specially designed to deal with the alien enemy who may have come from the ice sea. This new ship?”

Harvey nodded and no longer explained it.

Shallow water gunboats like submarine ships and ironclad ships have similar design flaws. When a single-body magic power aircraft is installed, speed and flexibility have become the most significant disadvantages - when only the fuel is required and the no-load situation of crew members. Lower, the average navigation speed was less than ten kilometers per hour. Later, it was modified and equipped with two magic naval guns. After adding the gun group soldiers and shell reserves, the speed dropped directly below six kilometers per hour, which is considered to be Iron turtle on the Ralph River.

The main reason is that the draught of the iron-armored ship is too heavy, and it uses it to transport population and goods, which occupies the advantages and convenience of breaking ice. It doesn't care much about the speed. If it is used directly as a warship, it will naturally appear bulky and uncomfortable. .

Besides, he was not afraid of the noble regimes and church judges on the south side of the Shenji Mountain. What really made him feel like a thorn on his back was the alien invaders who seemed to be thousands of miles away but were actually no different from being close to facing him.

Those skinned monsters who have not yet truly understood the background and have not yet understood the direction of the "technology tree" that has completely lost their ranks of ethnic development!

Fortunately, everyone is a carbon-based creature. If you twist your neck and shoot your body through the quilt, you will also die on the spot.

In this way, Harvey has confidence and support - since all fear comes from insufficient firepower, he will try his best to increase the firepower coverage and weapon range.

Regarding the discussion of the submersible ship design drawings, Harvey and the two alchemy chiefs had a simple lunch and hurried to the shipbuilding workshop by the Icefield River. The Ministry of Construction is next to the civil dock to build and expand a more complete deep-water warship dock.

Thanks to the Ice Field River originating from the towering Divine Ridge Mountains, the huge water flow and sharp floating ice washed the entire river wide and deep, and the middle section of the river alone had a depth of nearly a hundred meters. It fully meets the standards and conditions for R\u0026D and testing submarine ships.

"Sir, how should the submarine ships built in Xinghuo City be transported to the Ice Sea Base?" Benoit couldn't think of a feasible solution. "Even if it was along the countless ice fields along the tributaries, it would probably not be able to reach the freezing. Land zone?”

Moreover, even if the planetary teleportation array with the largest power is equipped, it is impossible to teleport a 100-ton iron submersible ship, and it is even more impossible to drag it into the water by relying solely on manpower.

Harvey chuckled and explained slowly: "So I designed it into a modular structure. Simply put...it is to build all its parts in Starfire City, and then send them to the Ice Sea Base through the teleportation array to assemble them on the spot. Go into the water.”

The modular design method also takes into account the waterproof and sealing performance of the submersible ship. It is impossible to ensure that there is no water leakage by just assembly and welding. Therefore, thin steel plates coated with rubber foetid coating are welded into independent hollow boxes. , and then combine the boxes together to form the main structure of the submarine ship.

This building block-style shipbuilding method does not require the draft depth and balance keel, and is irrelevant to traditional shipbuilding techniques. What Harvey needs to achieve is nothing more than ensuring that the submarine can float up and down normally and encounter it in the water. When the enemy is in the face of the enemy, the naval soldiers responsible for driving the ship can control the attack of ship-based magic cannons.

As for the power part, Harvey decided to continue to use the propeller propulsion technology of the ironclad ship. The power unit was directly upgraded to the level that could carry three magic power machines, and the surfacing and diving were completely controlled by mechanical gears, using the split hollow box in the submarine to achieve the functions of filling water for diving and draining water for surfacing.

This aspect naturally needs to rely on the alchemy laboratory team led by Chris and Benoit to complete.

In the arduous task of perfecting the design drawings and building the first experimental ship, Harvey generously gave the laboratory the highest authority to arbitrarily allocate important strategic materials, and all municipal production departments must cooperate unconditionally.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

The two alchemy chiefs held the drawings and left the city lord's mansion confidently under Harvey's eyes.

Harvey finally squeezed out a moment of free time and returned to the study to start working at his desk - writing the so-called naval training materials.

With his half-baked level as a "keyboard military enthusiast", it is almost impossible to complete a set of military theory teaching materials that are both common sense and professional.

Daily military training is partly based on the army's standards, but it involves military ship driving and control, water (bottom) combat guidelines, ship-borne weapons and equipment use and maintenance, technical training for various ship-borne positions... and even the hydrological and meteorological characteristics of the combat area.

Harvey looked at the spread of white paper and felt a splitting headache, calling the guards guarding the door.

"Go quickly, call Commander-in-Chief Pierce to see me."
