Chapter 180 Brady Ship Designers Association
The president of the Brady Ship Designers Association is an academic wizard with white hair and beards, and his face is full of wrinkles.
After looking at the senior ship designer promotion application form submitted by Daliang, he said to Daliang in a kind tone: "Captain Black-haired, I am Adolf Christilson, the president of the Brady Ship Designers Association. You can call me Adolf or Christilson.
First of all, I wish you a smooth pass of the review.
Through your explanation in the application form, I can see that you have a familiar understanding of the brig-class warships.
The firepower of the double-brig warship is stronger than the single-brig warship and weaker than the three-brig warship, and other performances are also between the two. Its positioning in naval battles is patrol, support and guerrilla, and its ability is balanced, and it can be competent no matter where it is placed.
It is an indispensable supplementary force for a fleet.
But because everything is OK with a double-mass warship, there is no point in prominence. If you can't run a single-mass warship or a three-mass warship, it doesn't seem like it's too much, but if you don't have it, it will be very uncomfortable.
This is the positioning of the brig warship. The comprehensiveness determines that its basic design has reached a perfect balance point. It can be changed no matter how it is, but it will never exceed its own limitations. Strengthening part of it will weaken part of it.
Therefore, it is not easy to transform an excellent brig warship. The transformation of brig warships will truly test the talent of a ship designer.
Black-haired Captain, what aspect of the test ship you submitted has strengthened the brig?”
Daliang and Gith have mastered the design skills of the nose ball bow. With the help of Gith, Daliang has successfully designed a brig warship with the bulb bow.
However, Daliang is not satisfied with a speed-strengthening double-brig battleship.
Unlike the sloop warships that mainly carry out patrol and alert tasks, the sloop warships can already bear some combat tasks.
After the speed is increased, the briggish warship will shoulder more combat responsibilities. The attack must be the first to attack and seize the position, and the retreat must be cut off with its own speed. When you have the chance, you can also use the briggish warship to conduct surprise attacks.
If the brig warship tends to fight, its firepower and defense will appear a bit thin. The size of the brig warship determines that it is very difficult to install artillery, but increasing the defense can also increase its survivability.
Therefore, Daliang proposed to Gith to thicken the hull.
Gith believes that thickening the hull means compressing the capacity of the warship, making the brig warship, which is not very spacious, even smaller.
However, Daliang proposed that the briggish warship itself does not have long-distance capabilities, and its supply depends on offshore ports and large fleets. Therefore, the warehouse capacity does not require too much for the briggish warship, as long as it is enough. After the speed of the briggish warship is accelerated, the consumption of the same distance will be reduced accordingly, which can completely reduce this part of the warehousing to improve the defense of the warship.
Daliang convinced Gis, and then as a ship design master, easily completed the design of a brig warship with outstanding speed and defense.
Through learning, Daliang also mastered the design drawings of this briggish warship and was named the briggish destroyer.
At this time, a brigged destroyer was built in Brady Shipyard.
But Daliang didn't expect that he had just submitted an application for promotion to a senior ship designer and was immediately recruited for review, so that he had no sample ship to participate in the review.
Facing President Adolf's question, Daliang first took out the winner's badge he won at the Beixing Ship Designer Seminar, and then said: "Hello three judges, I am the leader of the White Tooth Pirates' Corps, black hair. Since I designed a high-speed sloop battleship, I won the victory at a Ship Designer Seminar.
The brig warship I used this time to participate in the evaluation of advanced ship designers, also used the speed-up design skills I successfully used on the sloop, which increased the speed of the brig warship by 8%.
When Daliang took out the winner's medal, the three presidents were already moved.
The Ship Designer Seminar is a ship design academic seminar that only master-class ship designers are qualified to participate and senior ship designers need to be invited to participate. It talks about the experience and skills of ship design masters in designing ships.
All the three presidents yearn for such seminars, but they are not ship design masters and are not qualified to attend directly, and their identities cannot be invited to attend.
The ship designer not only participated, but also won many master-level judges.
It’s like a student from a prestigious university who came to Pheasant University.
When Daliang said that he had completed the speed-up design of the brig warship, the three presidents could not calm down.
Speed is wealth and life for pirates. You can catch up with merchant ships, and you can run away when encountering strong enemies. The speed increase of 8% means that the brig warship is approaching the speed of the sloop warship. Once such a warship appears, it will definitely be a best-seller among the pirate group.
Just 8% faster...is it possible?
The power source of the sail warship determines its speed limit, which means that no matter how you modify it, the sailing ship will not break this limit. This upper limit is around 10% of the speed of the basic model of each ship. The closer to this value, the more difficult it is to transform and design the hull.
To enhance a little, you will weaken other attributes.
A brig warship that can speed up by 8%, can't imagine how much other performance of the hull will be reduced?
However, the Winner Medal represents the high-speed sloop design of a black-haired warship, which has been recognized by ship design masters, and also means that he has a very mature design technology to speed up the ship.
If a brig can achieve an 8% acceleration without any serious cuts in other aspects, it is a transformation that can greatly benefit the pirates.
The three presidents could not wait to see the sample ship of this high-speed double-brig battleship.
"The speedup of 8% is an unexpected improvement. Where is this ship? We will be on board for actual ship testing now."
Daliang, who had no ship, had to say: "I'm very sorry, I didn't expect that the promotion review would be possible so soon. The brig destroyer I designed is still being built at Brady Shipyard, and it will take four days to complete the construction."
The sample ship is still under construction?
Of course, the three presidents did not want to wait another four days before seeing the warship.
President Adolf immediately recruited an apprentice of ship design: "Go and inform the shipyard, the black-haired captain built a brig destroyer with them, and now accelerate the construction immediately, and I will see it in two days.
The cost of accelerated construction is paid by the Brady Ship Designers Association.”
The ship design apprentice saw President Adolf's anxious look and immediately turned around and ran out, then flew towards Brady Shipyard.
At this time, Daliang said: "President Adolf, in order to enhance its combat capability, I have accelerated the defense of this brigged destroyer, so that it can perform better in combat. According to my prediction, the brigged destroyer has increased its defense by 13% compared to the basic model of the brigged warship."
Chapter completed!
