The Black Duke of the Pirate

Chapter 457 457. The Ship of the Century
The two communicated together for a long time. Roentgen basically told Reinhardt about the recent important situation of the North Sea Navy Branch. After the two ended the call, Reinhardt was in a state of contemplation. Around evening, He took the guards and walked towards Clock Harbor.

Clock Harbor, the golden sunset is imprinted on the sea, the pure white sea of ​​clouds is surrounded by the stunning border, the seagulls pass by from time to time, and the glimpse of the sailboat in the distance reflects a huge shadow on the golden sea.

Reinhardt looked back from this wonderful scene, and then turned to the huge dock by the sea.

This dockyard has been built for several years, and it has long been able to carry out various sailboat constructions. It has also developed into the largest shipyard in the North Sea, especially after Tom the Murloc joined. After his guidance, all aspects have been perfected. Less, but also expanded the overall area again.

The purpose of Reinhardt's coming to the dock this time was to check the construction progress of the giant ship.

Reinhardt stood at the bottom of the dock, looking at the main frame of the huge sailboat in front of him, which was just a simple structure. This sailboat has been under construction for more than a year, but so far, it is still in the initial stage of construction. Even the main frame has not been built yet.

This giant ship Reinhardt attaches great importance to it. It will carry all the voyages in the sea in the future, so it has gathered all the technologies of Reinhardt's work company and the products of the world's highest shipbuilding technology.

The structure, materials, and design of the entire hull come from Tom the Murloc. The power system of the giant ship, the helmsman control system, and the internally implanted power system come from the laboratory technology led by Dafisis Long and Heigl. .

It can be said that this huge ship is the product of the fusion of the world's first shipbuilding technology and the world's top science and technology. Although the wood used for shipbuilding is also the most precious and precious tree Adam in the world, a considerable part of the huge ship is made of The ones are various alloys just now.

Reinhardt put forward a lot of requirements for the final effect of the ship. First, it must be able to accommodate at least 1000 people. Second, it must have an electric/steam-driven power system, and then it must be equipped with a large number of artillery. Weapons/Electric Laser Fire.

These are just the tip of the iceberg of this giant ship. His idea is to build this ship into a giant mobile fortress, and possess the amphibious products of the seabed, sea surface, and sky, but his idea is too complicated and sophisticated , It is impossible to do it in a short period of time. It took a year to study the blueprints in the early stage, and this was only completed with the assistance of Tom the Murloc.

Although with the help of Tom the Murloc, the world's number one shipbuilder, and with the full assistance of the mechanical scientist Heigl, and the participation of the electrical/gas scientist Dafisis Long, the research and construction progress of this ship is still going on. very slowly.

Even Tom the Murloc once said that he has built a ship all his life, and there has never been any ship that has such precision, complexity, complete functions and powerful ships like the one imagined by Reinhardt. For this reason, it took Murloc Tom nearly five months to understand all of Reinhardt's needs, and another seven months, with the help of the workshop, to follow Reinhardt's requirements. Imagine, draw the blueprint of this ship.

At that time, Tom the Murloc concluded that if this ship was built, then the pirate group Roger Ol Jackson would no longer be his greatest work, but this ship, which Tom the Murloc called the "Century" "ship of the ship".

Because the financial and material resources and manpower consumed by this sailing ship are too great, and the entire ship is integrated with the power system provided by Dafisis Long, as well as the power equipment specially developed by Heigl, and Cole And Boronk also installed an artillery system on this ship. The most powerful artillery is a weapon that converts electrical energy into lasers. This technology comes from Dafisis Long. Sloan's stun gun is more than ten times more powerful.

It can be said that the current giant ship is the only one in the world. It not only has a strong technological level and the world's first shipbuilding technology, but also has the design ideas provided by Reinhardt, completely out of this era.

Most of the functions of this giant ship can only be clearly expressed after it is completed.

Reinhardt looked at this huge ship, which was only one-fifth of the scale completed so far, and a sense of pride rose in his heart. This ship is his throne to traverse the new world in the future. He has devoted too much effort to this sailing ship. It has to be perfect.

"Greetings, Lord Duke!" At this time, a middle-aged man with black oily face and tattered clothes ran from not far away, and he was ready to kneel down to worship Reinhardt immediately after he came to Reinhardt's side.

But Reinhardt stopped him, shook his head and smiled: "Wood, how is the progress of this ship?"

This black-faced middle-aged man was the supervisor of the workshop construction room that Reinhardt entrusted with the important task. After the clock tower was perfectly built in the next few years, Reinhardt handed over the entire workshop to Under his leadership, the construction of the "Ship of the Century" is completely handed over to the workshop.

"My lord, the progress of this ship is only one-fifth, mainly because the power system needs to be laid in the hull frame in advance, so the speed is very slow."

Wood replied respectfully, although it was laid according to the circuit drawings provided by Dafisis Long, there were still many difficulties in the process of laying, and each step required multiple experimental tests.

In addition to the laying of the power system on the hull, there will be a fire control system, a helmsman control system, a power energy system, a shock absorption system, the construction of a dock system, and so on.

These are extremely difficult things.

"That's it." Reinhardt nodded and sighed slightly. It seems that in a short time... no, maybe it will be impossible to see this huge ship launched in a few years, but even so, in order to get a A perfect giant ship, no matter how much time it takes, is worth it.

In the future, this ship will use an electric/pneumatic dual-track system to propel its navigation, and the electricity and gas will operate alternately. In addition, nearly a thousand blown shells will be installed in the ship as a backup for critical times. This is the foundation Energy, in fact, is what Reinhardt cares most about. He doesn't care about whether he can fly to the sky, but the two forms of the sea surface and the bottom of the sea are what he urgently needs.

Although it was called the "ship of the century" by Tom the Murloc, Reinhardt did not name the ship. This matter will not be confirmed until the giant ship is built.
