Chapter 181 Two-masted destroyer
Under the request and investment of the President of the Brady Ship Designers Association, Brady Shipyard quickly built the brig destroyer built by Daliang, and finally drove the warship out of the dock within the time required by President Adolf.
The remodeled ship of a brig warship was launched without attracting the attention of other berthed warships. The brig warships were too balanced and could not make any changes. Only those little pirates who had just entered the industry who did not even have three-masted warships would have to work hard to transform the existing brig warships.
However, when the pirates at the dock discovered that the three presidents of the Brady Ship Designers Association appeared at the dock and boarded the double-brigged transformed ship together, they were all uneasy.
The three presidents of the Brady Ship Designers Association are the treasures of the pirates. Senior ship designers can design three-masted warships and transform three-masted warships. If pirates want to add three-masted warships, in addition to purchasing drawings from the Brady Ship Designers Association, they can also grab ships at sea. However, to transform the basic model of the three-masted warship into a three-masted warship suitable for pirate robbery, the three presidents must be asked to take action.
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 Brady Council.
Now these three presidents have actually boarded a newly launched double-brig transformer at the same time.
All the pirates couldn't help but wonder, what is the origin of this ship?
After inquiring from multiple sources, news of an intermediate ship designer's promotion evaluation was spread. This double-brid transformed ship is a sample ship used for rating.
As for who is this intermediate ship designer? What are the advantages of this brig-branded ship? There is not much information yet.
However, if the three presidents can be alarmed to participate in the evaluation, this double-brigged transformed ship must have very outstanding characteristics.
For a time, most of the pirates in Brady City gathered on the pier, and all of them in the sky were pirates who knew how to fly and ride flying mounts.
Let's watch this brig-built modified ship that is about to begin testing.
Daliang accompanied the three presidents to board the newly built double-brig destroyer. Because he was so young, he was regarded as the president's apprentice by the pirates.
Twin brig battleship (speed strengthened, defense strengthened, temporary model: Twin brig destroyer)
Total load capacity: 140 (original 150)
Weapons: 20
Steering force: 95
Propulsion force: 81 (formerly 75)
Standard sailor: 50
Necessary sailors: 10
Maximum sailor: 70
...
After getting the data of the new ship and checking it with his own design, Daliang said to the three presidents: "This double-brigged destroyer transformed the structure and appearance of the bow, effectively improving the speed by reducing water resistance.
I think the briggish destroyer with increased speed has an advantage in seizing positions in naval battles and can be responsible for more combat tasks. Therefore, when the firepower is difficult to effectively increase, I enhanced the defense capabilities of the hull and thickened the sidewalk plates of the hull by 13%.
In the case of naval battles between the two-maid warships, my two-maid destroyer has an absolute advantage; against the three-maid warships, the two-maid destroyer also uses its increased speed and defense to increase its survivability.
The warehouse of this warship has been reduced from 150 to 140 due to the reduction in transformation."
Listening to Daliang's introduction, the three presidents still couldn't believe that a ship's transformation that accelerated by 8% and strengthened its defense by 13% was achieved by reducing 10 warehouses. If all this is true, it would definitely be a cross-age design change for the brig warship.
With the three presidents who witnessed the historical moment, they immediately began the evaluation process of the brig destroyer.
First, check the material and structure of the hull to see if it matches the paper data, especially the thickened hull plates and warehousing capacity have been carefully measured and calculated.
There are also changes to the internal structure of the hull.
...
No problem, no problem with all measurement results.
The three presidents couldn't believe that such a warship with a reasonable layout was actually made by an intermediate designer, and they thought they could not do some of the wonderful ideas.
Genius, what a genius.
Since the last talented ship designer left Brady, they have never seen such a talented designer again.
After confirming that there was no problem with the hull, President Adolf immediately announced a sea trial of the brigged destroyer.
While the three presidents were inspecting the brigged destroyer, the pirates were anxiously waiting on the dock. Soon the sails rose under the operation of the sailors and the ship started to move.
If a pirate sees the advantages and disadvantages of a ship from the mechanism and design of a warship, they probably can't see anything, but if they see a sailing ship, he can easily see the strengths and weaknesses of the ship.
The brigged modified ship that caused the three presidents to board the ship together just started, and the pirates immediately noticed the advantages of this ship in accelerating compared to ordinary brigged warships.
The brig ship tested left the dock and continued to accelerate and headed towards the middle of the Inner Lake. Its speed became faster and faster. When it reached the basic speed of a brig battleship, its speed was still increasing.
At this time, the pirates finally knew why a double-brid transformed ship attracted three presidents to test together. It was really too fast!
All pirates know what speed means to them?
When a naval battle breaks out, your speed is a little faster, which means you can take the lead and occupy a favorable position, and this means who can survive after the battle.
And the speed increase of this brigged transformed ship is definitely not a little bit, 5%?
No!
It must be above 5%!
This brigged transformed ship aroused the interest of all pirates. If the speed increase of 5% will not weaken the other high performance of the hull, you can consider introducing a batch of such speed-enhanced brigged warships to improve the patrol capabilities of their own fleet.
The pirates carefully watched every detail of this sea trial.
The number of artillery has not changed, 12 pounds of iron smoothbore cannon, standard artillery for double-brig battleships.
There seems to be no major changes in the appearance, ship upper structure, steering, etc.
The increase in speed of this ship should be achieved by reducing the material to reduce the weight of the hull. The decrease in the weight of the hull represents a decrease in the structure and defense of the hull.
What can such a warship with special speed do? It depends on how the owner uses it.
In short, the tests personally presided over by three presidents are still underway... shelling, sharp turn, snake-shaped maneuvering. The ship was transformed and there was no problem in fighting. It was considered a very good transformation ship.
Now wait for the test results of this brig-breasted transformed ship to come out, and then based on the evaluations of the three presidents, we decided to order several such warships.
Regarding strengthening such an unreasonable battleship, the three presidents did not dare to be careless in the test. The entire test process lasted from morning to evening...
When the brig destroyer re-docked onto the dock, the three presidents dragged their tired bodies down from the battleship.
The pirates eager to know the test results gathered together and asked to announce the properties of the brig-making ship now.
The ship designer serving the pirates did not have too much airs. The surrounded President Adolf said using accent magic: "I am very honored to be able to test this briggish destroyer personally. Through the designer's name, it can be seen that this briggish transformer is more inclined to combat. Through the test, we also believe that it can fulfill the responsibilities assigned by the designer.
The 8% speed increase is close to the theoretical transformation limit of a brig warship. I have never seen a warship in my life that can increase its speed to this level. This is simply a miracle, and I have not even seen how this speedup is achieved.
However, its designer did not only meet the speed improvement. He also gave the warship stronger performance through the transformation design.
13% defense enhancement!
You heard it right... It was this briggish destroyer that achieved 8% speed enhancement and 13% defense enhancement. Compared with these, the reduced 10 warehouse capacity is simply not worth mentioning.
Before today I didn't believe that there was such a brig warship, but it was now really parked beside me.
From now on, I can tell you all that all the brigs in your hands can be eliminated!
All the brig warships in this world can be eliminated!"
