    Whether it is the name of the book or the name of the protagonist in the book, Alvin has no impression, but considering what Lance said, this book comes from an ancient ruins, it is not surprising that the information from ancient times is in this era  There are many things missing. If it didn't involve learning some spells, most mages wouldn't have the time to understand them.  After all, this is not a big issue worthy of attention, just a little gossip. Alvin and Jonas discussed in a low voice for a few words, and then turned their attention back to the mutated slime who called himself the tentacle monster.  Come.  "Lance, according to Jonas, now you just got some memory fragments of your demon pet, right?" Ivan looked at the slime in Lance's arms and asked as if to verify.  "That's it, Lord Lord." Lance nodded with some fear.  "In this case, from now on, you don't have to participate in the construction of Odelia Port. It will take some time for Odelia Port to organize a qualified fleet. During this period, your task  Just sort out the memory fragments." Alvin generously gave Lance a holiday.  "Thank you, Lord!" Upon hearing this, Lance understood of course that this was Alvin's compensation for his going to sea, and he was immediately overjoyed.  The little devil really has no fighting power. Although Lance has now signed a contract with a Warcraft slime, the combat power of this Warcraft is even worse than his. It just gives Lance many good-sounding titles. If they are really in danger, it is estimated that the two of them are in danger.  They will only hold each other back.  The sea is precisely the place where attacks are most likely to occur, precisely because of its high risk.  Lance was unwilling to go to sea with the ship.  "No need to thank me, I just hope that when you go to sea, you can sort out some useful things from those memory fragments." After Ivan finished speaking, he glanced at Lance: "If there is nothing else, you can leave now!  " Lance nodded, but instead of leaving according to Alvin's instructions, he had a hesitant expression on his face.  "Do you have anything else to do?" Ivan asked strangely.  "Lord, I found traces of humans in some of the memory fragments I obtained" Lance hesitated: "It's not just the human fleet and sailors, but also the broken memories of a simple port. Although I  I don¡¯t know the specific location of that port. But I suspect that it is probably the supply point for humans in the waters nearby. ¡°You are sure that what you see is the supply point for humans in the waters nearby, not that Sli.  Is it a certain memory within human control?" Ivan was stunned.  He asked quickly.  "I can't be sure, I just have this feeling." Lance said carefully.  "Is it just a feeling? I know!" Ivan nodded thoughtfully: "You have done a good job in this matter. If you find other information, remember to inform me in time!" "Thank you Lord for the compliment. But  I don¡¯t have anything else to discover for now, so I¡¯m going to leave now!¡± Lance said with a sigh of relief.  Ivan nodded absently, his eyes moved from Lance to slowly resting on the northern sea.  Looking at Lance who was gradually walking away, Jonas said carefully: "Lord, regarding the supply point that Lance just mentioned" "How do you think the reliability of this news is?" Ivan asked.  "I think" Jonas hesitated and said after a long time: "It's very possible." "The possibility is indeed very high. It's just a supply point. It's not difficult." After a pause, Alvin felt a little regretful.  Said: "Although it will bring great convenience to human fleets on long voyages. But as long as humans do not openly open up territory in the sea area where Demon God's Castle belongs, they will not attract attacks from the senior professionals of Demon God's Castle." "Lord, Lord.  You are absolutely right. Even if humans establish a stronghold in this sea area, they must not dare to make the noise too big, otherwise a bad move will attract the attention of the Demon Castle, which is known as the Ochsere family, which accounts for half of the human navy.  , and the fleet led by Lord Vivian suffered heavy losses next to his own territory!" Jonas said in high spirits.  Ivan didn't answer immediately, and was silent for a long time. He finally glanced at Jonas and said lightly: "It's really rare. Even you know about this?" "Yes, Lord Lord!" Jonas  Seeing Ivan's expression, Si didn't know that he had just said the wrong thing, but he couldn't figure out what he had said wrong. He could only say cautiously: "This subordinate has been ordered to assist Lady Emma in building Oder."  Port Leia, trains the navy, so I have paid special attention to the recent naval battles, and Lady Emma especially likes to talk about Lady Vivian" "You don't need to put on this expression, you can just turn your eyes.  Putting it outside the territory shows that you are aThe wrong talent.  "Ai Wen comforted: "If you can continue to do this in the future, I'm afraid your achievements will not be low.  "    "hehe?  "Jonas laughed dryly. He was a little confused. Wasn't Alvin angry just now? "Forget it, let's not talk about it. No matter whether there are human strongholds in the nearby sea area or not, no matter what the strength is, we still have to create a situation first.  Only by building a fleet capable of long voyages can we launch operations against them. But look at the ships being manufactured here. They are too small in size and do not meet the standards for long voyages at all.  Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Aiwen changed the topic. "That's true, but there is nothing we can do about it. The raw materials for building large ships are still being processed. Small ships are not that troublesome, so we can take advantage of this gap."  Build more. Firstly, you can practice your skills and accumulate a group of qualified shipbuilders. Secondly, you can also let the Navy get a group of ships for practice first.  Jonas explained: "I'm not afraid of your blame, Lord. In fact, the ships owned by the navy in Odelia Port can only carry a maximum of one hundred people, and the remaining two hundred people can only practice swimming."  " "I can't blame you for this kind of thingbut it does sound quite miserable.  So according to your estimate, how long will it take for the first big ship to be completed and launched?  "Aiwen asked. "The relevant preparations have been done for a long time, if everything goes well.  Four months later, Port Odelia will be able to have its first large ship with a hundred people.  "Jonas replied confidently. "Four months later?  "Evan was not as easily satisfied as Jonas. He shook his head: "It's too late!  "    "ah.  Is it still too late after four months?  "Evan's attitude was beyond Jonas' expectations. "If my requirement is that at least one large ship must be launched in two months, and a fleet can be formed in three months to reach the other end of the Earth's Inner Sea,  Can you do it?  "Aiwen asked. "I'm sorry, Lord Lord, my subordinates can't do this!  "Jonas shook his head honestly, and then recommended with sinister intentions: "I think Master Gith might have something to do?  " "Ghis?"  If you can't do it.  What can he do!  "Aiwen shook his head disapprovingly. "The Lord is right. A warship will be launched in two months, let alone Gis.  Even if Guinness comes, there is nothing we can do!  "An old voice interrupted suddenly. "Master Naimos, you are here. You went out to drink during work, according to the contract.  I have the right to deduct your salary!  "Jonas turned his head and saw an old and slovenly demon walking listlessly along the seaside carrying a wine bottle. He couldn't help complaining and yelling. "That's none of my business.  It was you, the managers of Port Odelia, who mishandled the matter, which caused all the little devils who were working for the shipyard to rebel, and ran away in the blink of an eye. Do you want me, an old man, to be left alone to do the hard work?  Live?  "The master shipbuilder named Nemos said lazily. "Then you can't just go and drink. In short, it's a fact that you took the opportunity to be lazy!  "Jonas didn't argue with him. He just insisted. "I know what you mean, Master Jonas.  As long as those little devils work hard in the coming time, the progress of ship construction will not be slowed down!  Nemos said and glanced at Ivan: "However, Lord, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the current speed of shipbuilding!"  " "Lord, the skills of this great craftsman from Nemos are considered to be the highest among all the shipbuilders who came to Port Odelia. However, he also has a bad temper. It was not easy for Lady Emma.  He was just invited here from Demon God's Castle.  "Jonas quickly introduced to Alvin in a low voice. "Don't worry, I won't conflict with him!  "As Ai Wen spoke, his talent in physiognomy had already swept towards Naimos. "Naimos, magician, specializes in water spells, potential value 22/23 (56)" "How does the old man's physical endurance compare with his maximum potential?  There is such a big difference. Could it be that he suffered some serious injury?  "Ivan thought to himself, but his face didn't show anything strange at all. He said very calmly: "I am Ivan, the lord of the Lionheart Territory, Ivan Gold Lionheart. I believe that Master Nemos is in Port Odelia.  During these days, you have heard of my name more or less.  " "Of course, if I haven't heard of your name, it means that the governor of Port Odelia is not far from rebelling.  "Naimos replied calmly. "I am not a harsh person, but for some reasons, I hope to have a fleet capable of long voyages as soon as possible.  "Aiwen explained. "Your requirements are harsh.  "Naimos glanced at Ivan from a distance: "I don't care why you think so, I will only tell you one thing. Any big ship that wants to sail must go through at least six months.  time to complete, if you really waitIf you have been waiting for so long, go to other territories to buy. I hope you can buy the ship you like.  " "If I could buy a suitable boat, I wouldn't be so troubled.  "Ai Wen smiled slightly. "Are you worried?  It's a pity, maybe it's because I'm old and my eyesight is dazzled, I really didn't see it.  "Naimos walked up to Ivan, looked at him a few times, shook his head and said. "Because I have thought of some ways that may solve the time problem.  "Ai Wen said. "What can you do?  Nemos was stunned for a moment as he spoke, and then laughed at himself: "I must have lost my head after drinking. You laymen always have some whimsical ideas, thinking that you can solve the problem with these ideas, but in fact.  " "But, at least laymen will have some novel ideas!  "Ivan said. Naimos squinted at Ivan, and then at Jonas: "If you don't mind, maybe I can delay some work time to hear what novelty your lord has.  Ideas!  " "Of course I won't mind and listen to the leader's instructions.  It¡¯s also part of our daily work!  "When Jonas saw Nemos suddenly giving him this move, he scolded his mother in his stomach and said with an affable smile. "Okay.  So, Lord, do you have any good ideas? The shipyard I work for is not this one. If you are willing, let¡¯s talk while walking!  "Naimos rolled his eyes, made a gesture of invitation towards Alvin, and then walked towards another shipyard in the distance. "That's fine!  "Ivan nodded and walked forward side by side with Naimos. Jonas looked around and was surprised that he was not as shameless as Naimos and dared to walk side by side with Ivan. He could only follow the two like his younger brother.  "Although I have never actually built a ship, I have read a lot of information and have some understanding of it.  "Ai Wen said: "For a large ship that can carry out ocean-going trade, the most time-consuming part is its keel.  am I right?  "    "You're right.  "Naimos nodded. There was no look of surprise on his face. If he didn't even know the keel and dared to come here to talk about improving shipbuilding technology, he would kick the visitor out regardless of whether he was a lord or not. "According to  As far as I know, the basic requirements for keels are corrosion resistance, good toughness, and low shrinkage, while the requirements for ship ribs are to be hard enough.  The two combined form the skeleton of the entire ship.  The remaining inner plates, outer shell, bottom plate, and side plates of the ship do not have high requirements - my idea is to replace the keel and ship ribs with suitable metals.  "Ai Wen said. "Replace it with metal?  "Naimos's face changed and he stopped. Not far in front of him was the semi-finished boat with the keel set up. His eyes wandered on the exposed keel. After a while, he sent the bottle to  He brought it to his mouth and took a sip. After tasting it for a long time, Nemos said: "Interesting, Lord Lord, your idea is indeed very novel. It is indeed possible to use metal keels instead of wooden keels.  It saves a lot of time in shipbuilding, and perhaps the safety of the ship will be improved, but have you ever thought that doing so will cause the overall mass of the ship to be heavier, and its speed will definitely be at an absolute disadvantage when encountering enemy ships.  , your purpose is to build a warship, not a merchant ship, right?  " "So this is where my second idea comes in. Do you know about waterwheels?  "Aiwen asked. "Living by the sea, how could I not know about waterwheels.  Nemos' curiosity was aroused: "Is your idea related to the waterwheel?"  " "What do you think about installing a water wheel on each side of the ship below the water level, and having the sailors step on the pedals inside the ship to push the ship forward in reverse?  "Aiwen asked. "Installing propellers, this idea" Naimos couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "In this way, the space inside the ship No, no, if there are propellers, the rows prepared before  There is no need for the oar chamber. It is almost enough to offset each other. However, once the oar is damaged, it is much more difficult to repair than wood pulp. Does it also need to use metal? But if there is a battle, metal cannot withstand the damage.  The impact force of the ship, in this case, it is best to design it from the beginning" Ivan saw that he had just mentioned an idea, and Naimos seemed to be possessed, and began to think about it in his head.  , couldn't help but feel some admiration, and didn't bother him at the moment, making a quiet gesture towards Jonas, and the two stood quietly aside, waiting for Naimos to think about the result. After thinking about it for a while, Naimos thought.  Finally coming back to his senses, he grabbed Alvin's shoulders and said enthusiastically: "I can't tell, you are very talented. How about you learn shipbuilding with me?"  " "Ahem, please pay attention to your words and deeds, Master Nemos, the person you are talking to now is a leader.The devil viscount of the earth!  "Jonas reminded from the side. "Ah, this is such a pity~" Nemos loosened his hands angrily. "No, Master Nemos's words make me very happy. This proves that even if I am unfortunately lost,  own territory, and lost his mage ability, and finally he was able to do well in the shipbuilding industry.  "Evan smiled. "Hey, you think so, which is beyond my expectation.  "Master Naimos glanced at Ivan strangely, and then shook his head: "What a strange guy!  " " Let's not talk about this anymore, Master Nemos, you have been thinking about it for so long, have you figured it out? Are the two methods I mentioned feasible?  "Ai Wen asked knowingly. "In fact, without Naimos's answer, Al Wen also knew that this must be feasible. From the name of a ship, you can tell that its origin is closely related to the paddle. As for using metal instead of wood, that is even more important.  Everyone on earth knows what is possible. Maybe in modern times on earth, building ships with metal is not much faster than building ships with wood, but here is a magical world. The time spent on casting metal parts is comparable to waiting for wooden ones.  The completion time of the keel is much shorter. ¡°Theoretically, it should be feasible. However, if you want to sail safely, the keel and propellers must be replaced with metal ones. But with so many metal parts, the ship¡¯s  There shouldn't be much remaining carrying capacity. After excluding the sailors and food reserves, I'm afraid it won't be able to carry much cargo.  "Naimos said with some distress: "Such a ship may only serve as a warship, not a merchant ship.  " "It's enough to be able to go to sea for long voyages. At worst, these ships with metal parts can be used exclusively as warships. In the future, wooden ships will continue to be used as merchant ships.  "Evan said: "No matter what, the first big ship needed by Odelia Port must be for fighting.  " "That's true!  Master Naimos glanced at the sea and suddenly realized: "It seems that I have thought too much."  ¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Thanks to blaststar, Advanced Fun, Addict, Awan, monthly tickets for fans, and xiaotang246 for the reward.
