Weird talk author drags the diary

Chapter 642 Steadily entering the Age of Discovery!
[I have registered an unowned vessel. Do you want to register as the captain? 】

【whether】

After driving the raft closer to the large ship obtained through character synthesis, Yu Liang couldn't wait to climb up the rope ladder on the side of the ship and go all the way up to the deck.

As soon as he got on the deck, Yu Liang received a reminder from his personal page. This was a rare prompt box message in recent days. If it weren't for this prompt box message, he would have thought that he had lost contact with the official of the ghost story world.

Such news also cheered up Yu Liang, at least it showed that the ghost story world had not completely lost control of this copy.

The situation has not yet gotten out of control.

Yu Liang studied the option of registering to become a captain, which basically meant giving up the ownership of the original raft and instead obtaining this two-masted sailing ship, which was huge compared to the raft.

This naturally did not require much hesitation. Yu Liang quickly chose the identity of a registered captain and officially became the owner of the sailboat.

-

Two-masted schooner

Length: 24 meters

Tonnage: 245 tons

Ship type: Basic II

Active Captain: Yu Liang

crew:(……)
Through the three-dimensional model of the ship displayed on his personal page, Yu Liang had a basic understanding of the entire ship.

As an illiterate person in the field of navigation, his greatest achievement in this field was sailing on the sea for three days and three nights on a six-square-meter raft.

However, in this state, An Buchen has probably given him the best thing he could get, so he naturally wants to make good use of this novice gift package.

The ship model can be defaulted to "舟", which is mixed with "引" which has lost its metal texture as a radical, so that the "船" character is obtained, and the noun character will directly become a physical object and appear in the copy space.

Yu Liang recalled that even though he was blind to ships, he could still recognize that the two-masted sailing ship that was now revealed by making the character "船" was the one that was originally in the drifting bottle.

The models of the two are extremely similar, just in different proportions.

This means that the type of ship that can be represented by the character “船” depends largely on the model of the “舟”.

The "boat" in the previous character synthesis was the two-masted sailing ship in the drifting bottle, so after synthesizing the "boat" character, he also got such a two-masted sailing ship.

Of course, the message in the bottle is just a ship model toy, not a very professional and detailed model, so the result of the AI ​​analysis in the glasses is a mixture of several ships without a fixed name.

If I have to say it, I can only say that it is a sailing ship, a two-masted square-rigged ship that uses wind as its main power and human power as its supplementary power.

After boarding the ship, Yu Liang could feel the size of the ship, but after listening to the AI's explanation, he also understood that such a two-masted sailing ship could probably only be regarded as a medium-sized ship, and could not be compared with the large ships of the same era, not to mention some modern and even contemporary super-large ships with a displacement of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons.

Combined with the information he got from the bookmaker in Wangcheng, Yu Liang basically had some guesses about the existence of a cruise ship on this endless ocean.

I'm afraid there are some models of large warships, steamships and even modern warships in this copy world. The "ship" characters synthesized from them are probably real warships, steamships and modern warships.

A two-masted sailing ship might be able to bully a raft, but if it really encountered a cruise ship or something like that, it would probably be torn to pieces in an instant.

Overall, the ship is an ancient ship from more than ten centuries ago. The entire structure is made of wood, with only copper plates laid below the waterline of the lower hull.

At the bottom layer were some empty wooden barrels, probably used to store food and other goods, but Yu Liang's ship was brand new and had nothing on it, so the bottom layer only had a large amount of ballast stones to counteract buoyancy.

The second floor should be the crew room, with about ten bedrooms, dressing rooms and kitchens.

In addition, there is the superstructure, including Captain Yu Liang’s forecastle and the stern building that looks fat and slightly bloated.

The boat is not big, but it can still easily accommodate dozens of people. However, correspondingly, a certain number of people are needed to successfully drive such a boat. At least Yu Liang alone cannot drive it normally.

Fortunately, Yu Liang is no longer alone now.

After obtaining an entire ship, Yu Liang's own abilities were greatly liberated. Now he still has a six-grid item column and a four-grid character column, while the stamp column and monster column are not unlocked, but many of his alienated abilities have been unlocked.

There are quite a few strange creatures that can be summoned, which just fills the current problem of shortage of manpower.

Due to the limitation of the overall strength of the strange creatures, Yu Liang still gave priority to summoning the strange creatures that could work and get the entire ship started first.

The first are the 37 little paper people. Although they are a little small in size, they are definitely the most suitable crew members overall.

They are highly intelligent and have the physical fitness of normal adults. They can complete some operations that are impossible for their smaller counterparts by merging into large paper figures. This is a unique skill taught to them by "Zhi" a long time ago.

This is equivalent to having twenty normal crew members, which is enough to start the sailboat and put it into normal operation. Secondly, the remaining cosmic strength can also summon two strange creatures of about T1 gradient. After thinking about it, Yu Liang chose the Money-Keeping Ghost and the Snake Dream Dragon.

As a butler-like character, the Mischief is naturally most suitable for the duty of first mate. It can help Yu Liang reduce the pressure of managing a ship, so that he can reap the fruits of his labor and better bring out the author's own character traits.

As for the Dream Snake Dragon...

Now it is also suppressed by the ocean, so it can only maintain a slender body of about ten meters. If it is longer, it will be exposed to the range of the ocean and will be greatly suppressed, and there is a risk of losing consciousness and sinking into the sea.

Even so, with its floating ability and full resistance, it is still the perfect player for "boarding battles" at sea. It can easily destroy the manpower of other ships, and even directly pierce some small and medium-sized ships, causing them to leak and sink.

From this point of view, its ability in boarding battles is even more exaggerated than that of a T1 warrior like Li Chaoniang.

Maybe its frontal combat capability is not very good, but its opponent is never a normal target, but the ship itself.

The other T1 strange creatures to be selected include the sentinel beast mother and the human snake. The sentinel beast mother is indeed good, and can produce sentinel beasts almost continuously to assist in combat. However, in this sea, Yu Liang doesn't know what he can use to parasitize the young sentinel beasts, and the produced sentinel beasts can only be used for combat, and their intelligence level cannot understand complex work instructions.

As for the human snake...

Yu Liang had thought of using him as a killer weapon. After all, the two-dimensionally unfolded human snake could completely entangle small and medium-sized ships and sink them into the ocean.

However, this kind of sea sinking requires special rescue personnel, otherwise the human snake will become a disposable shipwreck device and can only sink small ships.

Besides, it is too inconvenient to keep such a huge creature on board, which will affect the normal operation of the ship. It is far less troublesome than eating snakes.

Coil it up and throw it into the utility room, add a dog bowl and create some dream energy, which is enough to keep the snake from eating for a day.

Anyway, this guy is immersed in his own dreams every day and doesn't need to go out too much. At most, he can bask in the sun during the day.

Finally, the last bit of summoning limit was used to successfully produce two Grass Infant Mecha pilots. Their strength was not high, but their abilities should not be underestimated.

There are two bone machine guns, two Grass Infant mechas and two grids of ammunition in the six-grid inventory. The combat effectiveness of the mecha pilots is not good, but after boarding the mechas, they can definitely take on the task of combat sailors.

You can also do some simple tasks that require physical strength, such as carrying goods, and it will be very useful as a helper for the paper people.

At this point, all the personnel needed for a sailing ship have been gathered, including the captain, first mate, helmsman, navigator, main and secondary sail helmsmen and deck hands, as well as three sailors who can be put into battle at any time.

It seems that in the end, Captain Yu Liang is left with nothing to do. Perhaps he can only go to the kitchen on the second floor to prepare food for the crew for the next day.

After Yu Liang got on the ship, since he could not carry the original raft with him, he packed up all the resources and restored the raft to its original size of 1*2. After boarding his new ship, he destroyed the raft.

Since we can't take it away, we might as well destroy it. We can't leave it to the natives on the island, right?

Two heavy machine guns, mounted on the top of the forecastle and the top of the stern respectively, have an excellent firing range and can provide the most basic fire support for the ship.

Of course, it is impossible to rely on the bone machine gun to sink other ships. Only 35-pound heavy artillery can do that. The bullets of the bone machine gun hit the deck without any pain, and the enemy ships will not lose any blood.

The heavy machine gun is a powerful weapon in a normal instance, but in a naval battle...

It can barely be considered a light cold weapon and is of no use.

The function of the bone machine gun is to kill sailors on the deck of enemy ships, or to attack some small creatures in the ocean.

For example, the barrel man.

The boat set sail smoothly about two hundred meters away from the island. Yu Liang looked back and saw torches burning on the side of the island close to the boat, with faint human figures flashing constantly.

They are all natives of the island who chased after the paper man Xiaoyi because he stole the white gem. They should not be disciples of the barrel man An Buchen's sect, but a third-party force.

Although Yu Liang's boat was parked very close to the island, these people with torches still only dared to stand on the shore and howl about something, and did not dare to cross the water to approach while Yu Liang was counting the boats.

Now, Yu Liang determined the wind direction and strength, and turned the sails of the ship into the wind. In the blink of an eye, they were away from the troubled island.

This scene is somewhat like the scene in some anime where the protagonist leaves the Novice Village island by boat, and the folks on the shore desperately shout blessings, wanting to bless the protagonist group to have smooth sailing and a safe return.

"Record the wind direction and wind strength, infer the heading and speed of our ship, and try to draw the most basic nautical chart." Yu Liang came to the small observation tower above the mainsail and ordered the AI ​​in his eyes to record the nautical chart.

Although we already know that the entire copy is most likely an ocean without borders, as long as these islands are not the kind of randomly refreshed maps in low-quality online games, it is necessary to record the sea charts.

Besides, the island where An Buchen is...

Yu Liang felt that he would most likely come back again in the future.

After all, he couldn't abandon An Buchen, right?
Judging from the information revealed by An Buchen, she was born to be a barrel person. She became a barrel person as soon as she entered the copy, and this will not change according to her own will.

It’s like the countdown in the biochemical mode. Once it mutates, it’s mutated and there’s no way to recover.

If she had a choice, she would definitely not want to appear in the form of a barrel man.

Besides, this is the little fairy An Buchen. If there really is a conventional method to transform from a barrel man into a human, she will definitely not use it.

It seems that some of the characters scattered around this dungeon may have mutated into barrel men...

This is not good news.

Yu Liang is now in urgent need of a rational or human character to help him and answer his questions. Otherwise, he really can't figure out what his current main task is.

Finding Xue Wubin and S1 is definitely one of them, finding out the truth is also one of them, and the last thing is to make the strategy as perfect as possible.

I have no clue about these things.

Forget it, let’s study the upgrade route in the copy world view first.

After obtaining the ship and just walking out of the Novice Village, Yu Liang became very curious about the "technology tree" of this world.

Larger ships can accommodate more synthetic props, and can even climb the technological ladder to upgrade the ship and other aspects.

At least we should be bold in trying, careful in verifying, and bravely step into the age of iron and even firearms, right?

The basic settings of this copy are similar to those of the game, and the technological advancement is not too complicated. Things like firearms and steam engines should not require players to wait for hundreds of years for development.

The first step is to collect a large amount of resource materials floating on the sea. This requires the manufacture of filters for ships, which can collect floating objects on the route into the ship while sailing slowly.

For this purpose, Yu Liang made subtle modifications to the ship on his personal page. With the assistance of AI, he can design a relatively complete plan.

Arrange three palm leaves in a row to form a simple thick rope, and then cross them to make a net bag. Mix and stack them to form a filter with smaller holes.

Yu Liang installed the filter on the front of the hull, and then assembled parallel driftwood on both sides of the cabin. They acted like pipes, intercepting the material resources collected by the filter and guiding them to the corresponding areas.

Two groups of paper men were arranged in the assembly area to collect these resources and transport them onto the ship, while another two groups of paper men sorted and packed them. The Grass Infant Mecha then transported the packaged resources to the storage room on the third floor.

It is worth mentioning that the resources on the ship can be accessed remotely by the captain. The resources stored in the third-floor storage room can be directly used by Yu Liang in the captain's room for synthesis and construction, which is very user-friendly and convenient.

Through repeated synthesis experiments and AI analysis records, the technology tree mastered by Yu Liang grew rapidly, and the things he could produce gradually increased and his level improved.

Well, how did he tell that the level had improved?

It's very simple, the quality of the materials that randomly refresh around the ship has become higher.

What started as palm leaves, waste plastics and ore blocks gradually evolved into high-quality cloth, metal smelting blocks and simple molds.

It’s still about picking up trash, but the quality of the trash is improved. This must be the hidden upgrade mechanism of the copy.

This upgrade mechanism is likely closely related to the richness of the technology tree that Yu Liang himself has mastered.

And during many days of experiments, it was almost inevitable that Yu Liang discovered a detailed setting that crossed technologies.

Strictly speaking, this is a conflict between the local setting of the copy and the overall setting of the world of ghost stories.

Character synthesis.

The synthesis of noun characters can create epoch-making tools that go beyond the current technology tree.

such as--

The "cannon" character.
