Three Kingdoms Come to the World

Chapter 587 The Dragon Ship (23)

"Hold on, hold on, don't set sail yet."

"What's the problem with the bow like this?"

"Quick, quick, have you finished checking the rune series?"

Su Li's roar came from the dock by the river, and there was a lot of noise inside, and only by shouting could the order be transmitted.

Inside the messy dock, a tall tower towered over the water.

Looking at it from a distance, it turns out that this behemoth is actually a ship.

The boat has a square shape and is estimated to be more than one hundred feet long and sixty feet wide. It stands on the water like a moving city.

The height of this gigantic building is unknown, except for the deck, there are floors above, each floor is one or two feet high, and there are five floors in total.

The edge of each floor has a concave and convex parapet, and the icy sharpness of the rune ballista is exposed in the squares below it.

On the deck, one after another along the edge of the catapults are tens of meters long, the largest one is in the center of the deck, the swing arm is nearly [-] meters long, it is unimaginable that it will explode between swings What strength.

This is a building ship, a silver-class five-story armed building ship known as an ancient aircraft carrier, which can carry more than [-] combat soldiers at full strength.

Su Li looked at this behemoth with pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

"This is the Jiaolong Building Ship, the silver-ranking Jiaolong Building Ship, with the Jiaolong spine as the keel, the five-storey and five-tooth building ship, the deck and hull are all permanent walls as standard, loaded with three hundred bronze-rank rune ballistas, and three silver-rank rune ballistas. Ten beds.

Loaded with [-] new-style bronze-level rune catapult type I and three new type rune catapult type II.

A full load of supplies, excluding sailors, one thousand spearmen, one thousand sword and shield soldiers, one thousand crossbowmen, and two thousand longbowmen.

Full load test voyage today, start! "

Su Li's voice echoed in the huge dock, and with the voice, his raised right hand fell down.

"start sailing!"

Lie Lie Lie!

The flag of Ning'an on the top of the mast creaked, and the big and small sails were raised one after another.

"Beat the drum, let the wind rise!"

A low shout echoed in the dock, and as soon as the words fell, the big drum at the bow made a roar.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Accompanied by the rhythm of the drums, the dragon's head hit the horns and let out a long dragon chant, as if to accompany this scene.

Accompanied by the rhythm of the drums, the runes on the sails lit up one inch after another, and the spiritual power surged. An invisible wind and spiritual power attracted the strong wind to inflate the sails, pushing the huge ship and the tower on the water to move slowly. .

I don't know when Su Li has come to the top five floors of the building, looking down at the building, Su Li's heart is full of pride.

"How is the rune working?"

"The operating power is 50.00%, no major faults have been found, and 37 minor cases, all of which have been resolved now."

A person stood behind him and reported.

"The stress situation of the hull structure."

Su Li continued to ask questions, the person backed up just now, and the person who just walked up stepped forward to reply.

"The structure is evenly stressed, and there are local distortions. At present, it has undergone emergency treatment with runes. After the trial voyage is completed, structural adjustments can be made or the strength of structural materials can be improved."

"Continue to monitor, this trial is only allowed to succeed and not to fail."

Su Li nodded slightly.

At this time, the huge monster was slowly moving under the strong wind that was born out of thin air, and the speed was getting faster and faster. It slowly left the dock and came to the waterway.

"Stop energy output, wheel the oars to fetch water, and raise the sails to borrow the wind."

"Yes!"

The spiritual power fluctuations on the sails gradually calmed down, and the sailors on the ship looked at the wind direction flag, and slowly turned the large and small sails to move forward with their strength.

The first building ship was named Jiaolong, a five-story five-story ship with nine rails and twelve sails.

Under the control of skilled sailors, the twelve sails can be manipulated, and the ship can be pushed by the wind regardless of the wind or the wind.

This superb and ancient skill is very magical. As long as there is wind on the water, the boat will not lose power.

And in the cabin, there are no wooden oars like crab feet, but instead, the extremely fast and more advanced wheel power.

The shafts of the paddles are linked to the array of spinning bicycles inside the cabin, and the sailors can rotate at high speed as long as they step on the bicycles or pull them with animal power.

Driven by the two kinds of power, the building boat continues to accelerate and ride the wind and waves.

"The speed has exceeded ten knots!"

One person said suddenly.

"Sail at full speed!"

"Yes!"

Under Su Li's order, the Jiaolong's speed continued to increase, and the moisture-laden wind blew on his face, causing his hair and skirts to flutter backwards.

Ten, fifteen, eighteen!
"Now against the breeze, it has reached the estimated maximum speed of [-] knots.

If the wind is sailing, the speed can reach up to 28 knots. "

"Turn on the water-breaking circle at the bottom of the ship, turn on the sails and blow the wind, and test the extreme speed!"

"Yes!"

Su Li gave an order, and the complicated runes engraved on the sails lit up again, and the invisible wind spiritual power surged, setting off gusts of wind, and the sails bulged, turning into power to push the Jiaolong forward.

The complicated runes inscribed on the bottom of the boat also lit up layer by layer, and when they were all lit up, the rich water spiritual power gathered at the bottom of the boat.

At this moment, the water is no longer a resistance to navigation, but began to push the Jiaolong forward.

The wind helps the water, and the water helps the wind. Among them, the speed of the Jiaolong building ship is getting faster and faster, and there is nothing better than riding the wind and breaking the waves.

The speed that had reached the limit before rose again.

Nineteen, twenty, 25, 26, 29, thirty!
call!call!call!
The strong wind whistled in Su Li's ears, and the Jiaolong galloped on the water.

At this time, the output power is 50.00%!
"Director, the output power has reached 50.00%, and the consumption of spiritual power is extremely high. Do you want to run it at full capacity?"

Su Li closed his eyes slightly, feeling the strong wind, heard the words and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"What's the speed now?"

"The real-time speed is [-] knots, and it has stabilized."

Su Li murmured to himself.

"Thirty knots, 55 kilometers per hour, what is the estimated maximum speed at full load?"

"Estimated to reach 36 knots."

"How about running at full capacity with the wind?"

"This depends on the wind strength. If there is a normal strong wind, it is expected to increase the speed by two to three knots."

The man saw Su Li frowned slightly just after he finished speaking, and continued to explain after thinking about it.

"The array on our sails is already propelled by the wind, which coincides with the tailwind. As long as it is not headwind or a very high-level typhoon, otherwise the increase in speed will not be too much.

And these two to three knots are still the acceleration produced by the wind pushing the hull. "

"That is to say, under normal circumstances, our top speed will not exceed forty knots, right?"

"Yes, unless we create a gold-ranked seven-story ship to accelerate with the characteristics of a gold-ranked ship, in terms of the silver-ranked ship's own characteristics and the existing rune formation, forty knots is already the right time, place and people. All in, peak speed under ideal conditions."

Su Li raised his hand after hearing the words and pondered for a moment, then dropped it.

"Full load, full speed ahead!"

　Building ships do exist. Zheng He’s ships were more than 100 meters long. During the Three Kingdoms period, the five-story building ships of Wu State also claimed to be able to carry [-] soldiers. So don’t give me any questions about the size of building ships. .

　　Well, you can talk about speed, skills, characteristics, and quality. Welcome!
