Heroes of Silver Moon

After Clifford left, only Simon and the young shipbuilder, who was obviously a novice, were left in the workshop.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and Simon was the first to say: "Mr. Assad, let's start!"

The young shipbuilder nodded seriously, then looked at Simon expectantly.

 …

Simon: "..."

Shipwright: "..."

 …

Simon looked at the shipbuilder: "..."

The shipbuilder also looked at Simon: "..."

 …

"No, brother, you're starting!" After staring at each other for a while, Simon said with a look of astonishment.

"Start?" The shipbuilder suddenly felt a little puzzled, and said at a loss, "You didn't even say what kind of ship you want to build, so how do I start?"

Simon froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it's building a warship!"

The shipbuilder was speechless, took a deep breath, showed a reluctant smile, and explained to the master alchemist who obviously didn't understand anything: "Master Simon, even warships, there are many types."

"Among them, the most basic and the most extensive are three-masted warships, five-masted warships and seven-masted warships. All special warships are modified based on these three types of warships."

"I don't know what kind of warship you want me to design. Is it three-masted? Or five-masted?"

Simon blinked his eyes and felt that he still thought about building a warship simply, so he hesitated and asked, "Do we have models of these three kinds of warships here?"

"Of course!" Assad nodded as expected, then ran to the low wooden cabinet beside him, carefully took out three warship models, and placed them on the wooden table in front of Simon.

Simon looked at it carefully.

The configurations of these three warships seem similar, except for the difference in size and masts, and the number of long-range attack weapons such as bed crossbows and catapults installed on the ships is also quite different.

"The three-masted warship is about 40 meters long, with two decks, several cabins, 600 sailors, three bed crossbows, and a trebuchet. The bow is equipped with an enchanted magic steel ram.

The size of the five-masted warship is nearly double that of the three-masted warship, with a total length of more than 70 meters, three decks, more than ten cabins, equipped with a thousand sailors, five bed crossbows, three trebuchets, Three take-off platforms, the prow is equipped with magic steel rams mixed with mithril and enchanted.

The size of the seven-masted warship is more than twice that of the three-masted warship, with a total length of about 100 meters, four decks, more than 20 cabins, 1,400 sailors, twelve bed crossbows, ten A take-off platform, the bow is equipped with special magic steel rams mixed with mithril, fine gold, and enchanted.

Which of these three specifications of warships do you want to choose for refitting? "

With a confident smile on his face, Assad said, "Whether it is a three-masted warship or a five-masted warship, I am sure to build a precise model."

Simon carefully observed every detail of the three warship models, frowned, and asked, "Why do warships build so many masts?"

In his impression, although there were five-masted and seven-masted warships in the era of Blue Star Sail, they were basically short-lived and did not show any advantages.

The most representative types of warships, such as battleships, have always had three masts.

How come there are so many masts in this different world?

"Well, Master Simon, the bigger the warship, the more weight it must carry. The more masts, the better the wind power can be used to propel the heavy warship to sail faster." Essard patiently explained.

In Simon's heart, it was me who was going to **** me.

Don't they know that the smaller the pitch of the sails, the less efficient the use of wind power?

It seems that the seven-masted warship does have four more sails than the three-masted warship, but those sails are densely packed together, and the distance between them is less than a dozen meters. It is a ghost to be able to effectively use wind energy.

Yes, seven sails can indeed bring greater power to a warship than three sails, but there are also a lot of troubles and difficulties in construction, and the cost performance is not high at all.

So Simon felt that people in this world are so stupid!

"Okay!" After accepting Assad's explanation, Simon asked tiredly again: "Then why do you put so many sailors in the warship?"

He thought carefully just now, how could six hundred strong and strong men fit into a three-masted warship of about forty meters in size?

The average activity space per person is less than four square meters!

What, are you afraid that Sea Beast will give bad reviews when ordering takeout, so do you want to stuff more meat in the can?

Assad's eyes became even more strange. He looked at Simon suspiciously, and said confidently: "Although there are long-range weapons such as bed crossbows and trebuchets in naval battles, in most cases, battles are still resolved by boarding battles. The more fighters there are, the greater the chance of victory?"

Simon opened his mouth wide and couldn't help applauding this "genius idea". He really convinced these people's brain circuits.

The ocean is different from the land. Once the warship is severely damaged, the entire warship must be buried with it.

Under this premise, long-range attack is always the most effective way to strike.

Similarly, in order to reduce losses from long-range attacks, warships should also have as few crews as possible.

According to the division of this world~www.wuxiaspot.com~ six hundred people will die if a three-masted warship sinks, and fourteen hundred people will die if a seven-masted warship sinks.

After that sea battle, tens of thousands of people would die on both sides?

Even if there is no shortage of people, you can't be so willful!

"Okay! I can understand the function of these bed crossbows and trebuchets, but what are these circular platforms for? I just heard you say, it seems that this thing is called a take-off platform?" Simon showed a painful look.

Just by hearing the name, he knew that this f*ck is definitely not suitable. The style of naval battles in this era is completely wrong, right?

"Uh, that's right, it's the take-off platform. The Griffin Rider rides on the Griffin's back, and it's a must for taking off and landing here." Essard scratched his head and replied.

Gan, there really is an air force, Simon first chuckled in his heart, and then asked: "What is the reconnaissance range of the Griffon Knight, and what is its combat power?"

Assad showed a thoughtful look, and replied uncertainly: "I'm not too sure about this, but each of them carries more than a dozen spell scrolls that can be activated at any time. I think the combat power should not be bad. .”

Simon had a distressed expression after eating shit.

A spell scroll that can be activated at any time? It's a dozen or so! Oh my God! What's the difference between this and a bomber on an aircraft carrier?

The sea battle in the magic world really has a different style of painting!

"I see. If it's a warship, choose this seven-masted warship!" After learning about the situation, Simon nodded and pointed to the largest warship.

Assad looked confused: Meow meow?

Brother, can't you hear what I'm saying? I can't build a seven-masted warship!

Besides, with the technical level of the Silver Moon Kingdom, can this kind of warship, which can be called a sea fortress, be built?
