Ships sailing in the water and flying in the air are in many ways connected.

Daliang took out the principle that griffin formation flight can reduce drag to solve the drag problem encountered by ships in navigation, which is completely feasible.

"Yes, yes, I never thought that their formation flight methods could be fully applied to ship design. We should consider a ship as a griffin flight formation. We should install a device on the bow of the ship as a leading griffin. When this device is pushed forward, it will produce a reverse flow of water." With the reality of reference, it means that this idea is not whimsical and can be realized. Gis became a little excited. He quickly drew a simple picture of a ship on the blackboard, and then added a bulbous bow at the bottom of the bow.

A simple device completely traps Gith into his own world, and lines appear on the blackboard, and with a bright vision, they can only make functional guesses about these lines.

However, Daliang was not in a hurry to install the bulbous bow onto the sloop battleship he designed.

The bulbous bow is now just a feasibility theory. It is not that the ship plus the bulbous bow will definitely increase the speed. Its position, shape, size, and even material need to be accurately calculated, otherwise the reverse water flow generated by the installation of the bulbous bow will increase the resistance encountered by the ship.

As for studying the bulbous bow of wooden sail ships, there is probably no better expert in this world than Gith.

A genius in ship design, a speed-type ship designer sought after by pirates, and the old guy who was the first to study the lateral resistance of ships.

Gith has all the conditions to study the bulbous bow.

Therefore, Daliang doesn't need it now and does not have the ability to study the bulbous bow. He just needs to wait for Gith to study it and then teach himself how to design it.

When Gith began to study the bulbous bow, Daliang suddenly found that the imaginary nervous ship design teaching did not appear. Gith succeeded in researching the bulbous bow, Daliang could not carry out the next sloop warship design, and the learning of ship design was stuck here.

What are you doing?

The naval battle between the University Alliance and the Lord Alliance continues.

Xu Man adhered to the strategy of defending south and attacking north. With the sloop battleship drawings provided by Daliang and the financial support of the Jin merchants, the Yunxiao Fleet, a subsidiary of the University Alliance, expanded the number of sloop battleships to more than 500.

A large number of sloop warships formed wolves in the sea. They established a nautical identification isolation area in the sea from Hangzhou to Shangjiang. All player ships traveling north and south, as long as they are not ships designated by Shangjiang and Jinshang, all merchant ships need to pay high seafarers to pass, and all warships are prohibited from sailing.

If you want to pass without spending money, you can only take a detour, but taking a detour will take a detour.

Shangjiang is located in the middle of the coastal areas of China, with a key position of currency in the north and south. The university alliance is here to block the sea, making players and merchants complain.

Xu Man explained to the outside world on behalf of the University Alliance.

I have no choice. The lords are so full that they want to block me. My merchant ship cannot go out, my guild needs to operate, and our hundreds of thousands of players in the university alliance want to survive, so they can only charge maritime fees here. Want to save this money? Yes, let those lords end all hostile actions against the university alliance and stop malicious attacks on the ships of the university alliance. If we can make money ourselves, we don’t need to charge maritime fees anymore.

Through public opinion offensive, the University Alliance transferred its conflicts with the maritime merchant players to the lord alliance.

When their own interests were damaged, the sea merchants who were watching the fun began to point their fingers at the Lords Alliance.

The reason why the Lords Alliance blocked the university alliance was because of the competition for gold mines. Now they have snatched the gold mines. If they suppressed the university alliance in this way, it would be a bit too much. The most important thing is that this has affected the maritime transactions in China.

However, if the lords have never heard of the voices of the lords of the sea merchants, for these lords, the University Alliance and the Yunxiao Ling are an alien, the lackeys of the Jin merchants.

In the future, whether the lords can be on par with the financial and economic side of the Jinshang depends on whether they can defeat the university alliance this time.

"Sometimes the battle is about patience. Whoever can persevere to the last moment will win. In this battle, our materials are being consumed a lot, and the university alliance will only lose more than us. Now they have the support of gold merchants and can still hold on, but gold merchants are not philanthropists. When they feel our determination and realize that all their investments in the university alliance are wasted, they will stop this confrontation without any returns, and that is our victory."

Shi Fei strengthened the lords' determination to fight this confrontation.

No matter how powerful the players and maritime merchants are, they can only enjoy their mouths. They dare not use force against the powerful lord alliance, because this ocean will eventually belong to the victorious side, and the lords show much stronger force and potential than the university alliance.

The Dominant Legion continued to provide low-cost sloop shipbuilding drawings to the lords, and actively organized a fleet to break through the isolation areas established by the university alliance at sea.

The university alliance did not place its hopes entirely on public opinion wars. While maintaining the navigation identification isolation area on the south side, the Yunxiao Fleet strengthened its offensive against the lords of the Yellow Sea. The Dongyue Leader located on the Jiaozhou Peninsula became the main target of the Yunxiao Leader.

As the player team takes shape, lords who have strong military power have begun to gradually disclose the exact location of their territory. A vigorous territory can increase the cohesion of guild members, and can also bring commercial returns to investors and attract more investment.

Dongyueling is located in Weihai City, located at the intersection of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, near the mouth of the Yellow Sea. It is a city with a very superior geographical location. It not only has rich marine resources, but also has huge potential inland river resources.

The good position has led Dongyue to a large number of investors, and has also allowed the construction of this territory to be in the world's leading position.

The Dongyue Leader has begun to advance to the fourth-level territory, second only to Taiwan’s Sun and Moon Leader in terms of territory development speed in China, far lower than the Longxing Leader, which has begun to upgrade to the fifth-level territory, and ranks third with the Tianyu Leader in Liaoning.

During the Battle of Shangjiang and the sea, Dongyue Leader was the main participant in the offensive university alliance and the main target of the university alliance's offensive against the north this time.

The warships of both sides frequently clashed in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. Although there was no large-scale naval battle between them, this kind of sudden confrontation at small-scale maritimes became even more intense. Each fleet took a desperate end, and naval battles often ended with one side being sunk.
