I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

It is about 30 nautical miles from the fortress.

This area is the royal target area of ​​the Sixteenth Branch.

If you want to say why, it's because this is a reef area, which is very suitable for naval soldiers to practice naval gun design.

However, coming here today is not a regular training, but a test of a new naval gun.

After more than half a month, Tres and other scientific researchers finally completed the preliminary test and installed the two-unit 130mm cannon on the large warship.

Perhaps, in Sean's previous life, this was not too big compared to the naval guns of the battleship era.

But it’s not too small in the world of pirates.

The most important thing is that this is the first cannon in the pirate world. Whether it is range, accuracy, or power, it is not comparable to existing naval guns.

The entire test was very successful, but it also exposed some problems.

To say it was successful is because the range, accuracy, and power all met the design requirements.

The problem that was exposed did not refer to the cannons, but to the warships.

Even for this large warship, many cracks appeared on the front deck after more than twenty rounds of shelling.

Sure enough, it is still a bit reluctant to use this kind of thing on a wooden warship.

If it were those three medium-sized warships, they would all fall apart.

New warships are urgently needed! !

"Brigadier General, the branch called, people from Carrera Company have arrived!"

"Well, pack up and return!"

"Yes, Brigadier!"

------

Inside the office.

Barry and French sat across from Sean across the desk.

"These are some of my current thoughts, take a look!"

Pushing a piece of paper over, it was a sketch of the battleship that Sean had drawn based on his memory.

The slender hull is made of copper and iron, and there are two huge propellers at the bottom of the stern.

This design is completely different from the existing ship designs in the pirate world.

Of course, Sean just drew it based on memory and did not provide any skills. Just like asking Tres to make guns and artillery, he only provided ideas and you can do the rest by yourself!

"Commodore Sean, how can we sail without sails? Is it that strange thing at the stern of the ship?"

Barry looked at the sketch, pondered for a while, and then asked.

"Yes, this is a brand new propulsion method that I accidentally thought of. I call it a propeller. It creates spiral propulsion through underwater rotation."

"I understand somewhat, but how to solve the problem of power? Does it have to rely on manpower?"

Sean nodded. He was indeed the foreman of Carrera Company. He could quickly figure out many things with just a few clicks.

"Of course it's not relying on manpower. If this is the case, Franky who came with you can solve it. Am I right?"

Frankie's eyes widened.

Indeed, he was also surprised by this new style of ship design just now, and when Barry was discussing with Sean, he thought of it...

If powered by Coke, speed would solve this problem.

"Franky, do you really have a solution to the power problem?"

"That's right, who do you think I am? I'm Franky, yeah!!"

Seeing Barry's disbelief, Franky immediately became interested.

But, come to think of it, can you not do these poses?

This looks very eye-catching...

"Barry, just leave the power issue to Franky. Are there any other questions?"

"Yes, I have always wanted to ask, such a large warship, and it is not made of iron on the outside, but is made entirely of steel. Can such a ship really float on the water?"

"Is this a question? Let me tell you a good thing. The buoyancy of an object in the water is equal to the gravity of the water it displaces. To put it simply, when the water displaced by your ship weighs 10,000 tons, then as long as your ship No more than 10,000 tons, then he can float on the water."

hiss...

This theory! !

Barry said that this was really the first time he heard about it.

However, if what Sean said is true, then this warship made of whole steel can really work! !

"I know you still have doubts now, but you will know if it is true after you experiment on your own."

"In short, my requirements for the next generation of warships are four points."

"First, cancel the sail!"

"Second, new power and propulsion!"

"Third, it is made entirely of steel!"

"Fourth, the speed must reach at least 20 knots!"

"As for the weapons loaded on it, you can discuss it with Tres from our weapons research and development department."

"Any question?"

Good guy.

As long as any one of these four points can be achieved, it will be absolutely epoch-making.

And all four points are achieved...

Barry couldn't imagine it anymore, he just thought it was too crazy.

Of course, the premise is that Franky can really solve the power problem and the theory Sean just mentioned is correct.

But no matter what, Barry was already excited at this moment.

After all, as a top boatman, how could he not want such an epoch-making ship to be born in his own hands?

A few minutes later, Sean called the messenger and asked him to lead the two of them to the conference room to meet Sumaner.

After all, the shipyard's construction issues still require their participation to finalize the drawings.

------

A week later.

The month-long Operation Thunder of the 16th branch officially ended.

Lu Qi and the other three people also returned to the branch one after another.

However, Gabra kept a shrug the whole time.

Because, since the group destroyed more than 20 pirate groups, he has not been able to encounter any pirate group for the next twenty days.

As a result, the number of Pirate Slayers fell directly from first place to last place.

"Lucci, we wiped out 32 pirates in total. The result is the best among the three this time!"

"Kaku is not bad either. He wiped out 27 pirate groups, ranking second!"

"Gabra's 26 is not bad, but...do you remember what I said before we set off?"

In the office, Sean took the report, looked at Gabra and said.

"Commodore, you can't blame me for this battle. I haven't been able to meet a pirate group for twenty days. This is such an injustice!!"

"Are you still unjust? The intelligence department initially gave you information that there are three pirate groups in this area that can determine their location. But what about you? What did you do?"

"Well, I'm not afraid of missing the big fish over there, and then..."

"So you went there and stayed there from the first day, and you stayed there for ten days, right?"

"That's right, that's it. After killing those pirate groups, I went to find those three pirate groups according to the locations given by the intelligence department, but the intelligence turned out to be wrong. You really don't blame me!"

Gabra looked aggrieved.

However, Sean gave him a sharp look.

"What are you wronged about?"

"Killing 26 pirate groups directly is such a big thing. How can those pirate groups not run away and still want to blame the intelligence department?"

"Let me tell you, two of the pirates killed by Kaku escaped from your area!"

"Besides, the intelligence agency has accurately told you the time of their alliance. Do you need to stay there for ten days?"

What?

This means that if I first deal with the three pirate groups at the beginning, then I will deal with the 26 allied pirate groups.

My final score was 29?

And Kaku's score will have to be reduced by two more points from the current 27, that is, 25?

ah this...

......

......

Gabra just wanted to cry!

Eventually, Gabra and the squadron under his command were ordered by Sean to clean all the toilets in the branch for ten days.

As the worst punishment this time!
