Chapter 76: Preparing for the ocean-going trip(2/2)
This iron-body sailboat, invented by the Academy of Magic Sciences and named Roger Sailing, is the highest ship craft in the Alec Empire today.
Romney was taken from Romney, and Grees was taken from Grees.
It means riding the wind and waves, and winning the flag.
The Roger sailing ship is 300 meters long and has a carved dragon head on the bow.
It is divided into five layers, top, middle, bottom, bottom, and bottom, thirty-five meters high, and each layer is close to seven meters in height.
The hull is 52 meters wide, and there are four boat ladders in the ship, including up and down elevators and four front and rear stairs.
It weighs 3,000 tons and can carry nearly 2,000 tons of materials.
The power is equipped with full sail and a power furnace.
Let’s talk about loading the full sail from the bow to the stern.
There are foremast, main mast, rear mast and auxiliary mast respectively.
The main mast is the highest, the front mast, the rear mast and the auxiliary mast are decreasing in turn.
Each mast is divided into three layers of mast sails, upper, and middle.
Through sail cable control, a refined sailor needs to be familiar with the operation before it can be controlled.
Above the main mast, there is a lookout platform for two people to look at the same time.
Those with strong eyesight can be used as lookouts.
Let’s talk about the power furnace.
It was synthesized by the Magic Academy of Sciences using the Katri coal furnace and combined with the Magic furnace.
You can burn Katri coal and magic crystal to promote power.
Through mechanical power, the turbine at the bottom of the ship is pushed to generate thrust.
Wind power, power.
The combination of these two is the full power of Roger's sailing.
Considering the inconvenience of coal storage and carrying, especially at sea.
Therefore, Romney plundered tens of millions of inferior magic crystals on the market in large quantities as the power reserve of the fleet composed of seven Rogge sailing ships.
Of course, Katri must not be missing coal, so prepare both hands.
Finally, let’s talk about the hull.
Keel wood, iron rhino bones from the Xiniu Mountains, refined steel, mitril silver and other materials are notoriously strong and relatively lightweight.
The Xiniu Mountains are three major mountains in the northwest of the imperial capital, which are as famous as the Yanshi Mountains and Linglu Mountains.
Like Yanshi Mountain, they are all flaming lions, and Linglu Mountain is all lying deer. The Xiniu Mountain Range is named after the iron rhino inside it.
The reason why it is called Xiniu, not rhino, is because the Xiniu Mountains are located at the westernmost point and exchange them for rhino to the west, which has the function of marking geographical location.
Iron rhino, a normal third-level monster.
The bones are hard, but they can be transformed and reshaped at high temperatures.
Combined with Mithril, it can become a magical alchemy material similar to memory metal after successful smelting.
It is valuable and only used in key hull parts.
Dragon elderberry is produced by the Linglu Mountains.
It is the main material for ship keels.
The trunk is thick and long, which is synonymous with keelwood.
Refined steel was produced after Romney established the Academy of Magic Sciences.
Through the high temperature of Katri coal firing, oxygen made from gas magic evolved by wind magic is added in advance to perform refined steel produced by steelmaking from the top blowing converter.
Because of the flaws in the process, this refined steel is nicknamed a semi-finished product by Romney.
Even semi-finished products are enough to be stronger than wood.
Use this semi-finished coated keel to perform external installation.
The strength of Roger's sailing was immediately increased.
Coupled with the twenty-four crossbows on both sides of the hull, as well as the first-generation magic cannon newly developed on the bow of the ship.
It's all about Roger's sailing.
After all Roger's basic preparations were made.
It's personnel, equipment, food and medicine.
It's easy to find people.
Knights, warriors, shooters, and ready-made military supplies.
The Emperor of Dorogo dispatched 1,500 men as combatants for the entire fleet.
Plus a thousand sailors and logistics personnel, herbalists and clerks.
The entire fleet with a total of 2,500 people is composed.
Each person wears a house ranging from 300 to 500 people.
Place fuel on the bottom of the boat, seal the packaging, and wrap multiple layers to prevent moisture.
The middle two floors live in people and can accommodate about 500 crew members.
The upper two layers, one is a deck, which is used to manipulate masts, place sail ropes, sandbags, anchors and other things.
The first floor is the captain's room and the control room.
The control room is at the stern and the captain's room is at the bow.
The two are connected through a wire-bucket telephone, an ancient communication device invented by Romney.
The control room is managed by the operator, and the captain's room is divided into meeting rooms, pilot rooms, and residences.
The meeting room is the place for all high-level meetings.
The pilot room has a map and polished Arira crystal glass floor-to-ceiling windows to see the direction clearly.
Of course, the lookout is better.
The residence is where the captain lives.
The flagship captain's room was lived by Romney and Gris.
Other ships are inhabited by their respective captains.
Each ship has a captain, two deputy, first mate and second mate.
The chief captain of the fleet is Romney.
The deputy captains are Aubrer Cairo and Moni Silamari.
Romney commanded three ships and two deputy captains commanded two ships.
A total of seven ships and two thousand five hundred people.
Full of food, water, herbs, fuel, and various utensils.
All members gathered.
