Li Ming and his teammates are not interested in the elementary sampans that can be manufactured by the Elementary Navigation Research Institute. Now the research institute has been upgraded to the intermediate level. After rapid construction, the new ship will leave the port this morning...
Li Ming and his teammates, including three guild leaders and a group of alliance executives, gathered on the seawall early in the morning, watching the black smoke rising from the chimneys of a row of shipyard workshops on the left hand side in front, and the cooling time was at the end.
a few minutes.
They will soon see the appearance of the first batch of ships produced in the shipyard, which will also see the first batch of fleets from the three major alliances appear!
Standing on the seawall waiting for time, the core players are looking at the screenshots in front of them...

…
The two screenshots in front of them introduced the attributes of two medium-sized ships currently provided by the Intermediate Navigation Research Laboratory. What they were about to see soon was the successful construction of these two ships.
This time, the 14 shipyards spent nearly 30 million yuan to build 9 medium-sized passenger and cargo ships and 5 medium-sized warships at one time to form the first maritime fleet of the three major alliances.
"Even ships have durability, but what does the cargo capacity mean, and what are the differences between units?" Fan Hua asked curiously.
"The carrying unit of a passenger and cargo ship refers to the amount of cargo that can be loaded and the number of players that can be transported. Without cargo, the ship can fully carry 5,000 players." Jinglan explained with a smile.
"I understand, but the cargo ship's wind and wave resistance level is only level 5, which means that the sea area it can go to is still too small. If it encounters level 6 wind and waves, it will be dangerous." Avril said worriedly.
"So according to the rules of the system, the crew of the ship must be extra careful about the wind and waves on the sea. Once they find an area with wind and waves exceeding Level 5, they must immediately avoid it to avoid a tragedy." Jingcheng said with a smile.
"The battleship is still reliable, and the distribution of weapons is so good!" Kelp said in surprise.
"After all, the role of a battleship is to fight, but the transportation capacity of a battleship is too low, and its cost is also more expensive. It is almost twice the price and materials of a medium-sized passenger and cargo ship." Jinglan sighed.
"For now, build this fleet to explore the outer seas first, and then build the remaining fleet after it reaches a high level to avoid wasting too much materials and funds." Li Ming nodded and said.
This fleet is only used as a tool for early exploration of the ocean. Because it is too small, it is definitely not suitable for farther seas, so he did not plan to build many at the beginning, but asked the craftsmen to quickly upgrade the navigation research institute and shipyard.
Master more advanced ship building methods.
At this time, the realistic countdown of the 14 tall shipyards lined up outside the seawall finally disappeared, and the 14-year-old black smoke bamboo on the chimney became thicker and thicker.
Woohoo!
A dull whistle sounded, and 14 ship bows appeared in unison in the direction of the dock, heading slowly toward the nearby harbor.
All ships have been successfully built, but there are currently no pilots on board. The system only temporarily docks these ships around the harbor, waiting for players to control them.
This kind of large props cannot be stored in packages by players. The first minute they are built, they will call the seaport their home. A seaport can accommodate 10 medium-sized ships to dock and rest at the same time. If there are too many ships, they need to be built.
More seaports.
Among the 14 ships searched, 9 were exactly the same. They had three sails and were driven entirely by wind power, with average speed.
The five warships looked smaller, but faster, with metal gun barrels and arrow turrets all over the hull, and they also sailed towards the nearby harbor faster.
Craftsmen immediately rushed to the harbor, preparing to board the ships and try to control them.
It is said that the method of controlling the ship is not difficult, but it is not simple either.
It is very easy to control a ship to sail on the sea, but how to avoid the danger of wind and waves in advance requires players to be familiar with the navigation process.
"Let's go and have a look too." Li Ming smiled and waved his hand, leading the commanders to the harbor...
The so-called seaports are square platforms built on the sea outside the seawall. However, the seaports are not directly connected to the seawall. They are distributed on the sea dozens of meters outside the seawall, connecting the seawall and the seaport.
In the middle is a long water corridor.
Li Ming and the commanders first walked to the side of the seawall, went down the steps to the promenade, and then headed all the way to the harbor.
The square platform looks like a large cargo yard, and several passenger ships and warships have automatically docked around the platform.
Li Ming locked onto a warship and saw the players climbing up the rope ladder on the ship. They also hurried to the side of the harbor and grabbed the ropes to quickly climb up.
As he climbed onto the ship and stood on the deck, a system prompt popped up in front of him...
Ding... System: Congratulations to the player for successfully logging into [Medium Battleship No. 1]. The current passenger capacity is 59/1000 and the pilot is 0/30!
Ding... System: [Medium Battleship No. 1] Set a name for the system. After asking players on this ship to nominate a captain, you can rename this ship!
…
"You can also rename the ship. Brother Ming, think of one." Fan Hua said with a smile.
"There's no need to go to such trouble. It's not a top-notch battleship. Why bother putting so much effort into it? It's more convenient to just call it Medium Battleship No. 1. It won't be too late to name it after there is a better battleship in the future." Li Ming shook his head and said.
"Then there is no need to name the driver. The driver still needs to be reassigned. How to set it now?" Fu Ziyan asked.
"This is also simple. As long as the player is arranged to go to the designated control position, the system will default to the driver." Li Ming has read the ship's control instructions and now knows a lot about it.
When players get on the ship, they will be put on the ship's loading list by default by the system. Then each player goes to each control position of the ship, which is equivalent to the driver being in place and can officially operate the ship.
Under Jinglan's arrangement, a group of craftsmen immediately went to the command room in the center of the bridge according to the positions specified on the ship's plan. Sitting in the captain's position automatically became the captain, and standing in the helmsman's position became the helmsman.
Standing at the sail control position is the sailor. If the weapon operation position appears, it automatically defaults to the weapons operator. Each driver's position has a specific area on the ship.
As system prompts kept popping up, the 30 pilots on the warship quickly arrived one by one and could leave the port directly to go to sea.
Woohoo!
A loud horn sounded on the bridge, and the system reminded players that the ship has been deployed and can sail at any time...
