Start with an Archangel

At the request and investment of the President of the Brady Ship Designers Association, Brady Shipyard rapidly built the two-masted destroyer built by Daliang, and finally launched the warship out of construction within the time requested by President Adolf. dock.

A modified two-masted battleship was launched without attracting the attention of other parked battleships. The two-masted battleship is too balanced, and there is nothing that can be done about it no matter how much it is changed. Only those young pirates who have just entered the industry and do not even have a three-masted battleship will take the trouble to modify the existing two-masted battleship.

However, when the pirates at the dock discovered that the three presidents of the Brady Ship Designers Association appeared at the dock at the same time and boarded the two-masted modified ship, they all became uneasy.

The three presidents of the Brady Ship Designers Association are the treasures of the pirates. Senior ship designers can design and modify three-masted battleships. Pirates who want to add three-masted battleships can not only purchase drawings from the Brady Ship Designers Association, but also rob ships at sea. But to transform the basic model of the three-masted warship into a three-masted modified ship suitable for pirate plunder, 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 two-masted modified ship at the same time.

All the pirates couldn't help but wonder, what is the origin of this ship?

After many inquiries, news came out that a mid-level ship designer had been promoted to the evaluation. This two-masted modified ship was the prototype ship used for evaluation.

As for who is this mid-level ship designer? What are the advantages of this two-masted modified ship? Not much information has been released yet.

But to be able to alert the three presidents to participate in the evaluation, this two-masted modified ship must have very outstanding characteristics.

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

Everyone watched together as the two-masted modified ship was about to begin testing.

Daliang accompanied the three presidents on board the newly built two-masted destroyer. Because he was so young, he was regarded by the pirates as the apprentice of the presidents.

Brigantine battleship (enhanced speed, enhanced defense, temporary model: Brigantine destroyer)

Total load capacity: 140 (original 150)

Weapons: 20

Steering force:95

Propulsion: 81 (originally 75)

Standard sailor: 50

Required sailors: 10

Maximum sailors: 70

…

After Daliang got the data of the new ship and checked it with his own design, he said to the three presidents: "The structure and shape of the bow of this two-masted destroyer have been modified to reduce water resistance and increase speed. an effective improvement.

I think that the speed-increased brig destroyer will have an advantage in seizing the position 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 capabilities of the hull and the damage to the hull. The side plates are thickened by 13%.

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

This battleship's storage has been reduced from the base 150 to 140 due to the reduction in the transformation. "

Listening to Daliang's introduction, the three presidents still couldn't believe that the transformation of a ship, which increased its speed by 8% and strengthened its defense by 13%, was only achieved by reducing 10 warehouses. If all this is true, it is definitely a design change for the two-masted battleship across the ages.

With the mood of witnessing the historical moment, the three presidents immediately began the evaluation process of the brigantine destroyer.

First, check the materials and structure of the hull to see if they are consistent with the data on paper. In particular, the thickened ship plates and warehouse capacity have been carefully measured and calculated.

Also, are there any hidden dangers in the internal structure of the ship after the changes?

…

No problem, all measurements are fine.

The three presidents couldn't believe that such a well-arranged warship was actually designed by a mid-level designer. Some of the fantastic ideas they thought they couldn't do.

Genius, what a genius.

They haven't seen such a talented ship designer since the last talented ship designer left Brady.

After confirming that there were no problems with the hull, Chairman Adolf immediately announced a sea trial for the brigantine destroyer.

While the three presidents were inspecting the brigantine destroyer, the pirates were waiting anxiously on the dock. Soon the sails were raised under the operation of the sailors and the ship started to move.

If a pirate is asked to look at the pros and cons of a ship from the structure and design of a warship, they probably won’t be able to tell anything, but if they are asked to look at a sailing ship, he can easily tell 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 ship's advantage in acceleration compared to ordinary two-masted warships.

The test brigantine left the dock and continued to accelerate towards the middle of the inner lake. Its speed was getting faster and faster. When it reached the basic speed of a brigantine warship, its speed was still increasing.

At this time, the pirates finally knew why a two-masted modified ship attracted the three presidents to test it together. It was really too fast!

All pirates know what speed means to them?

When a naval battle breaks out, your faster speed means you can occupy a favorable position first, and this means who can survive after the battle.

And the speed improvement of this two-masted modified ship is definitely not just a little bit, 5%?

No!

Definitely above 5%!

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

The pirates carefully watched every detail of this sea trial.

The number of guns has not changed. The 12-pounder iron smoothbore gun is the standard gun of the brigantine battleship.

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

The increase in the speed of this ship should be achieved by reducing the use of materials and reducing the weight of the hull. The reduction in weight represents the decrease in the structure and defense of the ship.

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

In short, the tests personally hosted by the three presidents are still going on... bombardment, sharp turns, and snake maneuvers. After the modification, this ship has no problems driving and fighting. It is considered a very good modified ship.

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

For strengthening such an unreasonable battleship, the three presidents did not dare to be careless in the test. The entire actual test process lasted from morning to evening...

When the brigantine destroyer docked at the dock again, the three presidents dragged their tired bodies down from the battleship.

The pirates who were eager to know the test results gathered around and requested that the attributes of the two-masted modified ship be announced now.

Ship designers who serve pirates do not have much arrogance. The surrounded President Adolf used amplification magic and said: "I am very honored to be able to personally test this two-masted destroyer. From the name of the designer, you can see It turns out that this two-masted modified ship is more combat-oriented. Through testing, we also believe that it can fulfill the responsibilities assigned to it by the designer.

An 8% speed increase is close to the theoretical upper limit of a two-masted battleship. In my life, I have never seen a battleship that can increase its speed to this extent. It's a miracle, and I don't even see how this speedup is achieved.

But its designer was not just satisfied with the increase in speed. He gave the battleship stronger performance through modified design.

13% defense enhancement!

You heard it right...this is the brigantine destroyer, which has achieved an 8% speed increase and a 13% defense increase. Compared with these, the reduction of 10 warehouses is simply not worth mentioning.

Before today, I didn't believe that such a two-masted battleship existed, but now it is really parked next to me.

From this moment on, I can tell you all that all the brigs in your hands can be eliminated!

All the two-masted battleships in this world can be eliminated! "
