After all, Alexander gave too little time at the beginning. If he rushed to build a large-scale sea-going iron ship, three days would definitely not be enough, so he could only work on small aspects.
Moreover, Alexander also said that the number of people carried on the ship does not need to be too many, less than ten people are enough, and a small ship can also meet this requirement.
In fact, at the beginning, the prototype of the ship that the dock owner rushed to build was much smaller than the current one. It was basically a small iron ship. However, later seeing that Alexander was delayed in asking for it, he used the extra time to slowly strengthen it.
Finally, we got this medium-sized ship, which met Alexander's requirements without appearing too shabby.
Zheng Feng made a visual inspection and found that the length of the ship was about fifty meters and the width was about eight meters. Although it was not too big, if there were only him, the little girl and Youyou on board, this medium-sized iron ship would be more than enough. It could even be said to be three
To occupy a small or medium-sized ship for one person is a bit too extravagant!
..
"This is a miniature version of the 'Dreadnaught', the latest cruiser series developed by our shipyard. Because the time given by His Highness was really short, we couldn't make it according to the same proportions of the 'Dreadnaught'. We could only reduce it, but Sparrow
Although it is small, it has all the necessary features. This miniature Dreadnought also has the functions that a cruiser should have, and even surpasses the original version in terms of speed."
Originally, Andre and the others did follow the model of a cruiser, but after they finished it, they discovered that it could no longer be called a cruiser because the displacement tonnage was simply not enough. The miniature Dreadnought was now more appropriately classified as a destroyer.
Andre introduced: "According to His Highness's request, the navigation device on the ship was changed from manual to semi-automatic and fully automatic, and the two modes can be switched at will. As for energy, it is generally driven by steam, but because the miniature Dreadnought ship
There is a problem with the carrying capacity of the body, so it cannot carry too much fuel, but is instead driven by soul power and wind power."
"To drive this miniature Dreadnought, you only need the Spirit Beast Master level, and the speed can reach 25 to 30 knots. If it is driven by an Earth Beast Master at full power, it can withstand 35 to 40 knots in a short period of time.
Ten knots of speed.”
Andre reminded cautiously: "But be careful not to maintain the highest speed for a long time, because the hull is likely to be damaged due to high pressure. After many tests, we have found that the maximum speed limit is three hours, but it is best not to
For more than two and a half hours, please keep this in mind. In the Soul Sea, once the hull of the ship is damaged and water leaks, it will be a very bad thing if there are no craftsmen on the ship to repair it in time."
Under the leadership of Andre, Zheng Feng and the others boarded the Intrepid for a visit. Although the length-to-width ratio of this iron ship is a bit larger and it looks a bit narrow overall, if there are not many people, it is still quite spacious.
.
The cruiser series is originally a military ship, and the hull should be equipped with fire muzzles. However, due to time constraints and Zheng Feng's request that it should only be used for long voyages rather than war, the hull is not equipped with too many muzzles, except for one main gun.
Outside, there is no firepower. This can reduce the burden on the hull, speed up the sailing speed, and free up more space on the ship, making it more comfortable than ordinary destroyers.
During the visit, even Youyou ran out. Fortunately, the owner of the dock was not an ordinary person, and his mental capacity was much stronger. Although he was very curious about the humanoid soul beast, he did not show any surprise, but after Youyou appeared,
, he always felt that the people around His Royal Highness Prince Yu seemed a bit familiar...
As soon as Youyou came out, she and Alice immediately left the group and ran around on their own inside the ship, looking here and there, pointing, muttering and not knowing what they were talking about, but looking at Youyou's frowning expression, he knew that she seemed
Not very satisfied.
After the visit, Youyou floated to Zheng Feng and whispered: "Fortunately, there are not too many things on the ship. There is room for modification, but some materials are needed."
Zheng Feng asked: "How much is needed?"
He has never doubted Youyou's judgment from the beginning to the end. He specializes in the art, and in terms of machinery, even ten thousand of him will not be Youyou's opponent, so he just listens to his opinions obediently.
Youyou thought for a while and said: "About ten tons of fine steel should be enough."
Youyou didn't ask for any precious minerals, because she also understood that for an ordinary shipyard, it was impossible to have such things, and fine steel was probably a better mineral.
Zheng Feng shrugged and looked at Alexander. He knew very well that in this dock, the weight of Alexander's words was much stronger than his.
"Boss Andre, do you have enough fine steel here?" Alexander asked.
Andre wondered: "Your Highness, there is some fine steel, but it is easy to cause problems if it is modified, especially in the hands of some laymen. If the Dreadnought has no problems during the voyage, then our shipyard will also
It’s hard to take the blame.”
The ship was manufactured by them here. If there were any problems during operation, Alexander sought responsibility and accepted it. But now that he heard what Youyou meant, he actually wanted to modify it himself. If something went wrong after the modification, who would be responsible at that time?
What about responsibility?
Zheng Feng also saw that in the final analysis, the shipyard owner could not trust Youyou, and was worried that Youyou would damage the miniature Dreadnought, and finally put the blame on their shipyard.
Youyou has an unassuming personality and is very shy. She didn't say anything about the dock owner's contempt. But the strong-willed little girl didn't have a good temper like Youyou. She said dissatisfiedly: "Who are you calling a layman? Don't look down on me."
Man, Youyou is n times n times n times more powerful than your shipyard!"
A few blue veins appeared on Andre's forehead. The technology of the dock has always been a proof of his pride. Being able to build the largest dock in the Nightless City is proof of his strength.
His shipyard technology is not to mention second to none in the Mad Lion Empire. Even if it is placed among other empires in Qinglong Continent, it can also be ranked among the best. Although it cannot be said to be the best, he wants to be n times n times n times better than his shipyard technology.
, he has been in this industry for decades, but he has never seen it before!
"Little girl, it's not what I want to say to you, but if you haven't seen the world, don't talk nonsense. How can you young people understand mechanical technology?"
"Pfft~"
Alice couldn't help but laugh when she saw the owner of the dock relying on his old age. She followed her elder brother to the Eternal City of the dwarves. All the machines in the city were many times more advanced than here, plus the long hours of driving Tai
Although Di is not an expert, his vision is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Alice's laughter fell into Andre's ears, which was very harsh, but in front of Alexander, he couldn't get angry, but he still said seriously: "You girl, if you and your friends can come up with something
I'm a mechanical craftsmanship product that I'd rather be inferior to. I won't charge any fees for this miniature Dreadnought. What if I add the ten tons of fine steel you need and give it to you as a gift? But if you can't do it, you must ask me for it.
Apologize to my dock!”
Buddha competes for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath. Many people live a lifetime, and if everything they want has already arrived, then for them, many times they live just to earn a breath or a face.
Obviously, Andre is such a person. He has spent his whole life on this shipyard and will never allow others to slander him at will, even if he is just a little girl who does not understand the world!
Alice's smart eyes rolled and she said, "Sweetie, can you keep your word?"
"I, Andre, have been talking about integrity since I was a businessman. As long as I made a promise, I have never regretted it. I will do what I say!" The owner of the shipyard immediately stood up straight and puffed out his chest.
Zheng Feng didn't make a sound, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently revealed a subtle arc.
"Go up to the deck, the cabin is too small, Teddy can't get out!"
Alice laughed mischievously, someone wants to give them something for free, why not!
"What is Teddy?" Andre couldn't hear Alice's words at all. Could this be a mechanical craft? But he had never heard of any mechanical craft called 'Teddy'.
Rather than a craft, Andre felt it was more like a name...
