The Defeated Dragon - Chapter 649

[Chapter 590 Gold coins are just numbers]

The Sunset is moored in the dock and is about to launch for a long voyage.

Liszt rode the landing bird Rocky and looked at the sky ship with a total length of 65 meters and a width of 19 meters, with three huge sturdy masts erected.

With the collapse of the civilization of the Son of the Sun, this gigantic ship, which is unimaginably soaring in the sky, has completely become a thing of the past.

After Liszt salvaged it and decided to transform it into a sailboat at sea, it said goodbye to the past and moved forward to the new future.

“Lord Lord, the current state of the Sunset, judging from what I know, is no longer inferior to the court’s clippers.”

Buck Driftwood, an apprentice shipbuilder, spoke.

He comes from a shipyard in Leather Island, the property of Ramirez White Glutinous Rice, Marquis of Leather Island, who was forced to leave the shipyard for some reason.

Then, through the channel of the caravan, the Tulip family invited him to come to Heima Island to settle down and act as the host of the dock.

There are three families in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire that build brigs, the White Sticky Rice Family, the Pineapple Green Family, and the Sapphire Family.

There used to be the Bull Marquis family, who also mastered the shipbuilding skills of brigs, but now the Bull family has long since disappeared.

Among them, the Sapphire family also masters the construction method of the three-masted sailing ship, which basically belongs to the top shipbuilding technology in the world, which is strictly confidential and cannot be leaked.

It is impossible for ordinary nobles to dig artificial ships from the Sapphire family. Even if they really plunder the shipbuilders, they will soon suffer the wrath of the Grand Duke.

So Liszt could only ask his father Li William to poach people from the Bai Nuomi and Pineapple Green families, but the shipbuilders couldn’t dig them, so he poached an apprentice shipbuilder.

This apprentice shipbuilder named Buck Driftwood is quite skilled, and is in charge of the technical development of the brig.

I believe that it will not be long before Liszt can master the technique of brig.

Combined with the keeling technique he got from Virginia Truth, and the rigging technique he knew, he was sure to make a high-quality sailboat.

With extensive shipbuilding experience.

Buck Driftwood also took over the rebuilding of the Sunset from Captain Costo.

After exploring new materials and new structures time and time again, the entire renovation of the Sunset was finally completed: “I have studied the court clipper, those mortise and tenon structures are very complicated, and I can’t get the answer for many tenon and mortise techniques for load-bearing and operation. . But the rubber water of the territory can replace those mortise and tenon structures.” The

Grand Duchy of Sapphire lacks iron.

All boats are made of wood and cannot be welded, so they are made of tenon-and-mortise structure.

These tenon-and-mortise structures are by no means simply observed a few times to understand why.

Even if a court schooner was torn down and placed in front of Buck’s eyes, he couldn’t figure it out.

But the most important specialty of Heima Island plays an important role in shipbuilding technology – rubber water.

The material bonded with rubber water is stronger than steel riveting and welding, and the solidified rubber water is fire-resistant, water-resistant, strong, anti-magic and anti-corrosion.

“In terms of the main keel, it still needs to be fixed by the tenon-and-mortise structure, but in terms of details, it can be replaced by rubber water. Therefore, the situation of the Sunset will not be worse than that of the court clipper… But to develop three-masted sailing technology, I am afraid It

takes time to study.”

Buck was about thirty-five years old, and began working in the dock at fifteen.

He may not have much talent, but with years of experience, his vision is absolutely fine – the Sunset is up to the voyage standard.

“Let’s go then!”

Waiting for the Sunset to replenish its nautical supplies, Liszt led a team of knights and boarded the ship together with officials such as Galtai, Blair, and Costo.

wide deck.

It felt wider than when he was riding the fast sailboat of the Changyu family.

The sea breeze was blowing, and under the command of the first and second mates, the sailors immediately lifted anchor, raised sails, and rowed.

The boat is very smooth, there are tables and cups on the deck, and Liszt can sit under the umbrellas and taste the juice of the coconut palm.

At the top of the main mast, a black tulip scent flutters in the wind.

“My lord, the Sunset is too grand. Such a sailboat will definitely not be worse than the Grand Duke’s court clipper.” Galtai said happily while holding a coconut fruit.

“It’s really powerful, but I always feel that there is something missing.” Liszt walked to the bow and said.

Galtai looked at the bow of the ship and suddenly realized: “I see, my lord, the restoration of the Sunset is perfect, but the bow statue is not installed. If you want to get the honor of knights on the sea, you should install a pair on the bow of the ship. Sapphire dragon head.”

Sapphire dragon is the master of this blue sea, and its head is naturally popular.

“The head of the ship?”

Liszt squinted his eyes. He was unwilling to install the head of the sapphire dragon, and he should also install the head of the fire dragon.

However, compared to the bow statue, he prefers another tool installed on the bow – the ram.

Currently.

There is only one navy of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire in the Bibo Sea, and the sailboats are equipped with rams, which seems to be meaningless, and there is no naval battle – those small sampans or small boats with oars produced by the land kingdoms dare not go out to sea at all, when a wave hits, Basically capsize.

“However…” Liszt still decided that after returning to the voyage, let the boatmen study the ramming angle, “If you can coexist peacefully with the Sapphire family, the ramming angle will be useless. But if the Grand Duke Sapphire can’t tolerate me, the naval battle is destined to happen. The collision angle may be a strategic advantage.”

He called Costo and Buck, and described the armor to them: “After you go back, you must study the collision angle carefully.”

“Yes, my lord!”

…

The speed of the broad Sunset cannot be compared with the speed of the court clipper, that is, the speed of an ordinary brig.

Starting from the port town and arriving at the port of Coral City, the sun was already setting.

The sunset hung on the horizon, looking over the harbour, just in line with the black tulip flag.

Levi, who came to greet Liszt, looked at such a picture and didn’t feel much—he didn’t know the meaning of the Sunset.

It was to commemorate the lost civilization of the Sons of the Sun – the civilization of the Sons of the Sun has been completely lost since the sky ship sank.

“Liszt, this is the wreck you salvaged from the bottom of the sea and transformed into a three-masted sailboat?” Levi asked when he saw Liszt getting off the Sunset, “It doesn’t seem to be a court three-masted sailboat, the shape and style of the hull , are very different from the court sailing ships.”

“Maybe it is the wreck of the magic goat family a hundred years ago, basically there is only one hull left, and the rest is repaired by me with rubber water.”

“But it looks very good, no It

‘s like a sunken ship.”

“It has been polished as a whole, and many decaying materials have been replaced before it can look brand new.” Liszt smiled slightly, “Perhaps not as good as the court’s clipper, but it should be more powerful than the Tulip. At least it looks a whole circle bigger from the outside.”

Reeves flattened his mouth: “The Tulip has been an old ship for more than ten years, and it should have been replaced long ago… If it wasn’t for the struggle with Marie and her son, I would have paid for it out of my own pocket. Buy a more comfortable barque.” Working with Liszt on many industries, he made a lot of money.

So speak loudly.

Three-masted sailboats with thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, you have to buy them yourself.

Liszt, who was fighting for the family property and had been sealed off long ago, had no interest at all. UU read www.sonicmtl.com He watched the dock workers carrying the goods of the Sunset Ship, and was very pleased: “With the Sunset Ship, at least every trip can Dora, a thousand serfs…you should buy a boat if you have money, and only if you have a boat can you do a big business!”

“The family does have plans to continue to buy a batch of cargo ships, mainly the glass produced in your territory, which is becoming more and more popular. Liszt and Rolia have calculated that according to the current sales growth scale, the glass business alone is enough to support the original Tulip family!”

Originally, liquor was the most lucrative industry in the territory, but now glass has far surpassed liquor – this It’s an exclusive business, and it’s an exclusive business that costs nothing.

“Let Rolia be more concerned, the Sapphire Grand Duchy is only a remote archipelago country after all, with a small population and few nobles. The vast continent is the real place to do business. When I explore the glass technology completely, To expand the scale of output, gold coins are just a bunch of numbers.”

“Haha, you’re right, gold coins are just a bunch of numbers for us in the future!” Levi imagined a beautiful blueprint and was extremely excited, “My father is still on Blue Dragon Island and hasn’t returned, and my grandmother doesn’t want to see Mrs. Marie, Li Weila Back in Falcon Town, Rolia was not feeling well… or should we go directly to the Rock Crusher?”

“What?”

“A fun party.” Levi’s face revealed a sinister smile.

Liszt shook his head calmly: “Brother, how many times have I said that I don’t like this kind of party, so I will rest at Tulip Castle for the night, and I will return by boat tomorrow morning.

” There are nobles who don’t enjoy life!”
