"Brother Ed, why do we need so much mitrish? This thing is not easy to take off. Ordinary people don't use that much, and the guilds generally don't buy it from individuals. If the discount is too much, we will lose."
Tianlan asked until Catherine left.
"No, we don't have to take it off," Fang Yu shook his head. He actually had a plan in his mind, and he took this opportunity to explain to everyone: "I plan to change the Qihai Traveler."
"Renovate the Qihai Traveler's Number?"
Others were attracted to their attention.
"I remember correctly," Alisa asked, "The Qihai Traveler has only been born for more than a year."
"It's true that we put a lot of energy into building the Seven Seas Traveler in Tansneer, but that was our first time to build a fairy-type floating ship. The first version of the Seven Seas Traveler is not actually a sailboat suitable for adventure and ocean."
"So after getting a lot of money, did the captain have a new idea?"
"Yes, this money is more than enough to update the equipment for the first and second groups of the Qihai Brigade Group, but I have been thinking about the rest of the matter and it is most suitable to use it to rebuild the Qihai Brigade Group."
Fang Yu looked at everyone. "The Qihai Traveler is the common property of all of us and the basis for the existence of the Qihai Traveler. Now we are going to cross the continental bridge and cross the second world. The original Qihai Traveler seems too cramped, and all kinds of preparations are insufficient."
Alisa shook her head gently: "Captain doesn't have to explain it to us, everyone just wants to know what you think?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, looking at the others, seeing that everyone agreed with each other - including Parker, he didn't object, but just snorted disdainfully.
Cui Xisi and Dalier participated in the discussion about the Qihai Traveler account for the first time. Dalier did not know the technology, and Cui Xisi seemed very interested.
Fang Zhu nodded and waved his hand to let everyone gather.
"People, please look here."
He took out a roll of drawings from his backpack, spread them out in front of everyone, and pressed them flat on the table. Everyone saw that his backpack was full of rolls of parchment paper, most of which contained the designs of various types of sailboats, so they naturally understood that Fang Zhu had prepared for it.
"I have an idea, which is to use mitril to replace magic wood as the keel of the next version of Qihai Traveler. Mitsunian is a light metal, three tons, plus the mitril in stock on the ship should be more than enough."
"Use mitril silver to replace magic wood?" Cui Xisi couldn't help but look surprised when she saw the ship on the design drawing. "The reason why the sailboat can sail on the sea is because its keel bones are balanced with the wind element in the ship's ribs. The only material that is more affinity than magic wood elements in this world is indeed Mitsunian, but..."
"Just a little too luxurious?"
"Yes." She nodded slightly.
She looked at the drawing and said, "This is the Imperial Storm. It is also the world's first Dragon Knight battleship, the first floating ship to forge keel bones with Misin... But the reason why the Imperials used Misin was because of the technology limitations of that era..."
"Only Misin can support the huge elemental power of the Dragon Knight warship. Later, the second and third generation new main warships of the Empire no longer use this technology. On the one hand, it is too expensive, and on the other hand, even the Empire Storm only mixed with about one-third of Misin in the keel."
"That's because the empire needs a whole fleet, but we don't. The Qihai Traveler is our home, so the stronger the better," Alisa seemed to see what Fang Ling was thinking and asked, "Did the Captain think so?"
Fang Zhu nodded gently.
"Midsil's elemental suitability is three times that of magic wood, and its equal weight is less than 80% of that of magic wood of the same volume, which can almost be regarded as a buoyancy increase of more than twice, which means that the new Qihai Traveler can be built larger and have stronger armor--"
"But that requires more people."
"We can indeed recruit some people," Fang Rong replied to Cui Xisi: "I plan to set up a central workshop. Everyone's level has been improved for more than one round. Next, we need to update equipment above AA level, or even legends. Inspiration is hard to come by, but secondary legendary equipment can be mass-produced through high-level workshops, but it requires a lot of manpower - you and I will definitely not be able to do it, even if you add Luo Yu, it will not work."
The Qihai Brigade does need to expand.
Their logistics staff were too few, and others generally had thirty or forty men on board. Even though Miss Tata could replace some sailors' work, her daily life was also very difficult.
If the Qihai Traveler further expands, the gap in the crew on the ship will only be larger. They will definitely not be able to hire ordinary people as sailors. There are too many secrets on the Qihai Traveler. It is difficult for ordinary sailors to hide secrets when they come and go.
He had earlier investigated Cui Xisi to join the team and become a member of them, which was more or less due to this consideration.
What's more, Miss Aitela's greenhouse and garden can be further expanded. Many guilds have their own alchemist and pharmacies, but the Seven Seas Brigade does not have a fixed base, so they can only find ways to put all this on the ship.
Just like Loofah, there is a legendary alchemy workshop ‘Triprism’ on the Angel, which is famous all over the world.
Moreover, with the increase in personnel, the supply of materials must also keep up, which requires the brand new Qihai Traveler to have a larger warehouse and load. In addition to basic rations, it is best to provide food with rich flavors to maintain morale.
If they choose the summoner as sailors, the summoner's pickyness about the quality of life is "reputable". This is certainly not the most important part, but morale and emotion are also important guarantees of combat effectiveness.
After all, Ragnarok even had big troubles with the Silver Weislan, crew members protested, went on strikes and even civil strife.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Generally, sailboats will supplement fresh food when docking, but they will be consumed quickly during the long voyage. Or they will be decayed naturally. Aitalia has certain refrigeration technology, but it is still not as good as the earth.
What's more, high-quality cold storage is generally used to preserve alchemy materials.
So the solution for most ships is to raise livestock, poultry, milk-producing mammals of the Orion, and others. If there are excellent druids and animal trainers on the ship, it can often form a good positive cycle.
In this regard, because of the existence of magic technology, Aitalia's level is even far beyond the other side of the Star Gate.
But these all require manpower and space. The other part is the combat-related cabin, the artillery deck - the first version of the Qihai Traveler sacrificed too much to install the Fairy Heart, and in the end, it was unable to install a magic cannon on the deck.
Usually when they encounter enemies, they rely on Miss Tata and Fang Zhu to launch air combat equipment themselves, but this tactical method is fine when it is widening the distance. Once they enter the close combat range, the Qihai Traveler will be very passive.
But combat-related cabins require a lot of space—
Several layers of artillery decks often run across the middle and lower layers of the sailboat. Fang Zhu also intends to use gear-controlled mechanical artillery, which can save some gunners and let Miss Tata act as the fire control center on the Qihai Traveler.
He showed off his ideas one by one, and everyone couldn't help but be fascinated by them.
As Fang Zhu said, that was ‘their ship’.
"...but the reserved transmission device, the channel for shell transport - and the unique structural cabin and air combat deck of the fairy-type floating ship will make the entire ship bloated. If traditional structure is used, protectiveness must be sacrificed."
Cui Xisi questioned.
"That's why I thought of using Misin to build the new hull structure of the Seven Seas Traveler," Fang Yu replied: "Misin with the same volume can provide nearly twice or even three times the elemental suitability. We don't have to use bulky white oak as hull armor--"
“We use pure gold.”
The others were stunned for a moment.
Cui Xisi immediately retorted: "Wait, the pure gold is the strongest metal in the world, and it also has strong magic resistance. This is true... But the reason why it can obtain magic resistance is because it has the nature of elemental shielding..."
Her voice gradually lowered...
The girl gradually looked at Fang Zhu with a gaze of surprise and doubt.
Solid gold will weaken the elemental suitability of the structure. Generally speaking, similar materials are generally avoided in the construction of sailboats, but the powerful elemental affinity of Mitsunian makes up for this.
The predecessors actually didn't think about this, but it was too extravagant and too extravagant. The Empire used Misilan to create an Imperial Storm and almost went bankrupt - that was because they built the Magic Emperor's ship too large.
Use full structure of mitril silver to create a medium-sized fast sailboat?
If it uses pure gold as its hull-
"A full metal sailboat?" Even Parker came back to his senses, "I heard it right, isn't this a whimsical idea?"
"The specific ratio needs to be calculated, how much Mithril is invested, how thick the shell of the pure gold needs, and what the empty weight of the entire ship all need to be recalculated," But Fang Yu said affirmatively: "But the possibility does exist."
"I……"
Cui Xisi swallowed, and she felt that she was under a strong impact - how could she not have expected it? This idea is not crazy, but isn't it really crazy? A ship made of gold may be just an exaggeration -
But this is a real floating ship made of precious metals.
This idea is much more crazy than the Oshu people.
"It's too expensive... do we really have that much money?" Tianlan was a little disbelief.
"Come on a little bit," Fang Rong replied: "If we can get so much mitral, then everything will be at least based on it. We don't need to get it in one step as soon as we come up. We can use the method of pure gold and armor."
"I have calculated that less than two millimeters of pure gold can almost be equivalent to thirty millimeters of homogeneous steel armor, which has exceeded the protection of most magical wood and white oak - it is definitely not enough for the main battleships of God's Empire, but it is almost impossible to break through our protection against opponents of the same level."
"What's more, the main warships may not be able to catch up with the speed of our brisk sailboats. Ships faster than us are not our opponents. Sailboats that can penetrate our protection may not be able to catch up with us."
He looked at Cui Xisi: "Cui Xisi, don't you want to participate in such a project?"
Cui Xisi nodded vigorously. How could she not want to?
Except for those mediocre people, no craftsman would refuse such a crazy request. She even felt that if Fang Ling was willing to send an invitation, Ms. Ming and Virus might be interested. These two people would have a good relationship with the Qihai Brigade.
Tianlan wanted to say something else, but her head was a little big.
The keel of Mithril's keel may be fine. After all, Mithril is a light metal, and two or three tons may be enough, but she always thinks that Fang Zhu's thinking is simple, and the price of pure gold is more expensive than Mithril.
She felt that the captain was bewitching herself. Although this plan sounded very beautiful, once she jumped into this pit, she and Miss Silvede would never have peace as logistics personnel. There must be a bottomless pit hidden behind this plan.
No, no, this matter must not be subject to their captain's temperament. He sometimes looks like a child.
She had to discuss with Miss Silvede.
She instinctively wanted to refute, but Fang Yu suddenly raised her head and gave her a gesture of silence.
He turned his head.
In fact, Alisa and Parker had already reacted first. Both of them heard a strange sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the room. They were familiar with the sound of the footsteps. It was the sound of wooden prosthetics rubbing on the wooden boards.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The footsteps stopped outside the door.
Then a knock on the door sounded, and a man's voice came from outside the door: "Everyone, are you free? Something unexpected happened."
That was the voice of Edward.
The others looked at Fang Yu, "The door is not locked," Fang Yu said, "Mr. Edward can push the door open by himself."
The door handle made a slight sound, twisted to the side, and then opened it. Edward stood outside the door. Before he could speak, he saw the short Paparal and the Nightingale lady on the side raised the crossbow in his hand to his own.
A little cold light came into his sight, and two muffled sounds of "bang bang", two crossbow arrows sank into the throats of the two imperial soldiers behind him, leaving only the tail feathers of the arrow-tailed gutter, trembling slightly.
The two of them stared at a loss and subconsciously covered the arrows on their throats with their hands, as if they wanted to shout, but they made only a giggle, retreated, hit the wall heavily, and then fell down on their backs.
Edward almost froze, but after a moment of reaction, he looked at the people in the room with a strange look: "...Everyone, we are in trouble."
"You'd better make it clear, Mr. Edward," Fang Yu said to Tianlan: "Tianlan, accent."
The poet understood it and rushed to the sofa and opened his suitcase, took out the seven-stringed zither from it, and threw a note into the ground with his hand.
With a buzzing sound, the whole room seemed to tremble for a moment. Edward only felt a flash in front of him. The next moment, the cold sword in Dalier's hand was already on his neck, scaring the one-eyed man quickly raised his hand:
"People, please listen to my explanation."
"Long story short."
"These people are not Imperial Army, they are pretended to be Blood Shark Pirates. I don't know how they came up, but my identity was exposed." Edward quickly explained.
"Blood Shark Pirate?" Fang Yu was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the news that Catherine told them before - such a coincidence? "Mr. Edward, you are a local snake in Port Guimana. I heard that you have connections in the official office. Are you afraid of these extrajudicialists?"
"Isn't this an urgent solution, everyone," Edward spread his hands, "Besides, I'll inform the Imperial Army now, can you accept it?"
"Of course not," Dalier showed his fangs and added a little more force, "If you get less, you are still good at being good."
"Madam, madam, be gentle." Edward hurriedly said, "Their people are still in the hall, what do you plan to do?"
“How many of them have?”
"Not many, about ten, but they had already attracted attention when they came. I was worried that the Imperial Army was on the way... They asked me if there were any other special guests in the hotel, and I revealed to them where you are..."
"Of course, this is actually to inform you."
"Thank you really, Mr. Edward."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Fang Yu had changed his mind. Although he didn't know why these blood shark pirates were interested in the guests in the hotel, they had never dealt with these cold-blooded hyenas on the Akira Sea, but the Seven Seas Brigade could not stand it and they could not meet the Imperial Army.
It may not be difficult to deal with a dozen people, but if they really fight, they may not be able to stop the game.
He looked out the window and asked, "Mr. Edward, we have a warehouse in Port Guimana."
"I understand, understand, I know that place. After passing through the woods behind, there is a path leading to the port. There is an underground cave that can directly reach the pier where you are. Please let me lead you and take you to that place."
Fang Yu looked at the man and nodded with satisfaction. It was easy to communicate with smart people.
After a while, the door of the room opened again, but this time the visitor was obviously not that polite. The two people knocked open the door from outside, and the broken wooden door was skewed and hung on the damaged door shaft.
A man wearing an imperial military coat and a fleshy face walked in from outside, looking at the empty room of the building with a fierce look. The ugly scar on his face twisted, and his eyes fell on the window that was shaking in the wind and rain.
"They ran away," he spat in a rough voice: "These people are definitely wrong. Let the 'little finger' and 'harpist' come over, it's a ecstasy, and there are bards on the other side, and maybe there are other casters."
The crowd immediately scattered.
...
Fang Yu was taking the others through the apple forest, and then he had time to turn back and question Edward: "Mr. Edward, you are Ms. Catherine's friend, but you are not a friend of ours. You'd better explain clearly what's going on?"
His tone was not cold, but his condescending majesty made Edward frighten, and the smell was very similar to that woman-the latter couldn't help but take it seriously: "No, no, I don't know... that woman... I mean Katherine should have told you about the Blood Shark Pirates. They might have come for Barossa, but somehow they came to me."
"In other words, we are suffering from your unrestrained disaster?"
"You can't say that, everyone, they came to the hotel to find people, and sooner or later they will bump into you. And as I said, the noise they made was too big. If the Imperial Army was drawn out, you don't want to bump into such a scene without knowing it, right?"
"We have to thank you so?"
Because of Jita's previous incident, Tianlan had no good feelings for this man and immediately spoke sarcastically.
"No, no," Edward smiled bitterly, "Help each other, everyone."
While they were discussing, they had reached the end of the orchard, where there was a low stone wall made of large pebbles. Dalier, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and pointed outside the wall and shouted: "Ed!"
She carried the great sword on her shoulder and pointed her finger in the direction of the Guimana port. The headland stretched towards the sea of ​​clouds like a claw, connecting the pier, the lighthouse and the warehouse area. At the end of the skyline, a shadow of sail appeared on the sea of ​​clouds.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Three three-masted sailboats lined up in a straight line, opening the dense gun doors, pointing to the direction of the port.
Imperial Army? Fang Zhu was slightly stunned. No, there was no empire eagle on the sail.
Edward on the side had already fought with teeth, "Yes, it's the Blood Shark Pirates, they really came to the door..."
"Is that the Blood Shark's ship?" Fang Yu turned around and looked at the white-faced guy, "How can I tell?"
"I, I recognize it." Edward stammered. He got off the boats. The woman helped him a lot in that matter, and he was once complacent about his escape.
But the other party came to him and found him. In any case, he also understood that he was a traitor, and how those people treated the traitor, as a member of the former Blood Shark, he knew more.
He only felt a moment of dizziness and his heels were a little weak.
Fang Zhu only felt novel - that was at least a fourth-class battleship or above. The Blood Shark Pirates actually had such a big ship. No wonder they could make waves on the air and sea, which made people feel scared.
However, the Blood Shark Pirates are not as good as the Pale Pirates of the Strongest Age. They are just a draw with the Pale Pirates, and no one can do anything about each other. Fang Yu couldn't help but wonder how terrible the gray-white fleet in the Rodrigo era was.
No wonder it is an opponent that makes the Imperial Navy feel tricky.
But what does the Blood Shark Pirate mean? Blocking the Imperial Port? This is a bit too courageous. You should know that the nearest Fleet is just outside the voyage of one day, which can be regarded as a provocation under the empire's nose.
Could it be that what Catherine said is true? The current pirate king is really on this island. Fang Zhu couldn't help but frown. How could he always encounter these troubles and not be able to complete the transaction smoothly?
While thinking, a group of blood shark pirates had already appeared on the side of the orchard. These people were bypassed from the hotel, which was probably arranged outside the hotel. When they saw Fang Yu and others, they shouted:
"Finished, they're there!"
But the members of the Seven Seas Brigade did not even look at the mobs directly, and only Miss May met with a big shield.
When the members of the Blood Shark Pirates saw a sweet-looking little girl walking towards her, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised and even whistled, but Miss Knight said nothing and inserted the big shield to the ground with a bang.
"In the name of Ouli—"
She shouted, and a ray of light penetrated the clouds and shone on the long halberd in her hand, and the runes on it lit up one by one.
She threw it forward with force - everyone saw a flash of lightning flashing at that moment, and the war halberd pierced like a beam of light through the blood shark pirates, piercing through the bodies of five or six people in a row, and flew backwards with a bang through a stone wall behind it.
Even the remaining strength has not subsided, the spear still trembles gently and makes a beep sound
"Miss May," Fang Yu turned around and shouted, "Come on as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Ed."
As soon as May waved his hand, the long halberd turned into a thousand-foot light and returned to her hands. The blood shark pirates were already scared and almost stopped. Many of the weapons in their hands fell all over the floor, "Aunt, ancient knight!"
I don’t know who screamed strangely, and the remaining people immediately scattered.
Those people are the most ordinary members of the Blood Shark Pirates. The team leader hopes that they will delay a little time, but who knows that they will encounter such a group of monsters? The Free Paladin parade of Ouli and Marlan is slightly stereotyped in the eyes of ordinary people.
But to those who do evil, these two are simply nightmares.
In fact, the ancient knight is even more of a nightmare.
It's really a bad thing. How could there be a genuine ancient knight in such a small place as Port Quimana?
May then put away his spear and chased the others. Edward was already stunned and was scared. Fortunately, Catherine stopped him, otherwise it would have been his former colleagues who were nailed to the wall at that time, and maybe he would have been himself.
He couldn't help but look at these people again, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. A high-level alchemist, a professional nightingale, and an ancient knight. What combination is this? Others look like they are not simple either, including the Catman Miss.
It seems that he was also a Paladin of Marland.
He shivered, suddenly remembered the purpose of the woman, and thought of the identity of these people - she found these people from there, wait, that woman was not the idea of ​​this, right?
"Mr. Edward, you seem to have something to worry about?"
Alisa asked, looking at him from the side.
"No, of course I don't... Everyone is walking here. The entrance to the secret passage is not far away. I will take you to the destination first. If you have any other opinions, we can wait until we get to the place before chatting slowly."
Fang Yu nodded. This was also his idea. Although he didn't know how many blood shark pirates got on the island, it was not the time to create extramarital problems.
Tianlan was still praising Miss Knight with admiration: "Sister May, you are so handsome, what are those Blood Shark Pirates? I thought they were so powerful, but the result was just like that! In my opinion, we don't have to escape at all."
She said, while looking at the former Blood Shark Pirate member with her eyes slanted.
What else could Edward say, so he had to raise his hands and smile.
He was not a core member of the Blood Shark Pirates in the past, but there were actually some powerful guys among the Blood Shark Pirates, such as the twelve team leaders of Balosha and the captains of each team they were under. There were also powerful figures in those elite teams.
He had only seen the team leader at the highest, and the first mate on their ship, the sailor leader. In his opinion, the other party's strength was far inferior to the young people he saw.
The Saints.
Mei's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and she replied in a low voice: "This is what Mei should do, and Tianlan, you only see the peripheral members of the Blood Shark Pirates. I have dealt with their team leader. The other party's strength is almost the same as mine."
After hearing this, Edward heard the words and looked at this ancient knight lady with admiration.
Chapter completed!
