Pirates: Who is the real sun god?
Chapter 55 Designing a Ship
"Sir, I have another question."
After thinking for a moment, Tom said, "Sir, it may be difficult to build a ship that can carry a thousand people. It is difficult to find Adam wood that big. Once it is spliced together to serve as a keel, the hull will be unstable. Therefore, the overall length of the ship can only be 80 meters. If you want a fast speed, the hull cannot be too high. It can only be designed with two floors. Therefore, it is impossible to accommodate a thousand people. With current technology, only warships above the rank of vice admiral can do this."
Upon hearing this, Barrett realized that he had taken things for granted. No matter how powerful the Seven Water City was, it was just a folk craft and naturally could not produce a large ship that could carry thousands of people.
After a moment of silence, Barrett asked, "Master Tom, if we do as you think, how many people can it accommodate at most?"
"200 people," Tom responded. "But there is another problem. Many things on the ship will be gone, such as the exercise room and entertainment room. These will be cancelled and replaced with rooms. In addition, the kitchen, dining room, storage room, and accommodation will all be reduced in size, and the comfort will be much worse."
Delia felt sick when she heard that. It didn't matter if there was no exercise room or entertainment room, since there were people practicing madly on the ship, the deck would be fine. But if the rooms were all reduced in size, then it would not be a voyage, but a torture.
So, Delia stared at Barrett, as if to say, "If you dare to design this, then there's no chance of playing."
"Master Tom, why don't you just tell me how many people your best design can carry."
Barrett smiled bitterly. He didn't expect designing a ship would be so troublesome.
"50 people." Tom smiled and said, "Sir, I can only take 50 people at most while ensuring the performance of the ship. The only regret is that each sleeping room may be a little small."
Delia became unhappy again when she heard this and turned her gaze directly to Barrett.
"Damn, I am crazy. This is the main ship design. We can do whatever is comfortable for us."
Barrett cursed himself inwardly, always thinking about how many people the ship could carry, and got into a dead end. He didn't realize that he would not be a ship in the future, and he forgot the term fleet in his excitement.
After Tom's repeated reductions, he suddenly realized and said, "Master Tom, we only design 20 rest rooms, but they must be spacious. In addition, the storage room should be designed to be twice as large as the original one, the dining room and kitchen should be designed to be twice as large as the original one, the entertainment room can be smaller, and the exercise room should also be designed to be twice as large as the original one. In addition, the deck must be spacious."
"That's fine, and I can also design a secondary energy room, which can be used as a backup energy source in the future." Tom nodded.
"Okay, let's do it this way." Barrett nodded with a smile on his face.
Delia was also very happy and had high expectations for the new ship.
Tom smiled and said, "Now that we've decided, I'll go draw the design now and show it to you later. You can talk to Buck about the price."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Tom." Barrett bowed.
"No, this is my job. I'll go draw the design first, you guys chat first."
Tom said this and walked towards the small room in the dock.
"Mr. Buck, how much will it cost to do as Master Tom said? Just tell me the price." Barrett said with great wealth.
He was not at all worried about the money. At the beginning, Big Beard had several large boxes of treasure. Later, when they came from the New World, they encountered many robbers along the way. Barrett and Jhin were naturally happy to help. There were more than ten boxes of treasure. They didn't know how many Baileys there were after the specific conversion.
“Sir, if what Mr. Tom said is true, your ship has very high requirements for Adam wood, then such Adam wood would cost about 8 million Baileys according to the market price.
Adding other materials, processes and Master Tom's salary, the total is about 18 billion.
In addition, Mr. Sir, because your ship requires Adam wood, you need to pay half of the deposit, which is 9 million Baileys. "
"No problem." Barrett agreed immediately. "But you need to wait for me. I'll go get some Baileys and will be back soon."
"Sir, you can also settle the bill with treasure. We have professional appraisers here and will not let you suffer any loss." Buck responded with a smile.
"Well, my ship is now docked at the port. If it's convenient for you, come with me. By the way, help me exchange all the money for Baileys. Also, help me change to another ship. I need to go to the Sabaody Archipelago."
After hearing Buck say that Carrera Company could exchange treasures, Barrett decided not to bother two masters. They needed Bailey to go to Shabaodi Island anyway, so they might as well exchange them all here to avoid trouble.
What's more, Akainu knew their ship and was also preparing to change ships. They had originally planned to wait until things here were over before changing ships, but now they might as well solve it all at once.
Buck said, "Sir, please wait a moment. We can wait for Master Tom's design to come out. After we have looked at it, we will go over. I will also report the situation to the manager and ask him to send someone to go with me."
"Okay, we'll wait for you here." Barrett nodded.
"Wait a moment sir, I'll be back soon."
Buck said hello and left in a hurry.
"Barrett, do you need me to go back early? Let Jhin leave the ship first, and come back after everything is done."
Delia asked in a low voice after Buck left.
"No need. They know we are pirates. Letting them know about the existence of King is also a disguised deterrent." Barrett curled his lips. As a shipbuilding resort, how could Water Seven City not deal with pirates? Otherwise, when Buck heard about the treasure just now, he would not have calmly mentioned that their company also had the business of exchanging Baileys.
"Ah——" Delia opened her mouth wide with an incredible look on her face. She didn't expect that such a formal company like Carrera would have transactions with pirates.
"Delia, this is the rule of the Seven Water City. Others should know what's going on but we shouldn't tell them. So we can't reveal our identities either. That would break the rules and put others in a difficult position. Do you understand?" Barrett warned in a low voice.
"Yeah..." Delia nodded heavily. Everything he experienced today taught him a lot.
Not long after, Buck and Tom came over one after another.
"Sir, please take a look at my design."
Tom handed the design to Barrett with a smile, his fish face full of confidence.
Barrett took the design and looked at it carefully, not paying any attention to Delia who wanted to see it but couldn't reach it.
The ship designed by Tom is 81 meters long, 42 meters high, with three floors and a total of 32 gun mounts. The other specifications were also drawn according to what Barrett said. The power is also mainly flame-based. Overall, it is very good.
The only thing that made Barrett feel awkward was that the design of the bow looked a bit like a sheep's head, which did not seem domineering enough and did not fit his personality.
So Barrett bent down, pointed at the bow on the drawing, and asked Tom, "Master Tom, I want to ask, can this sheep's head design be modified?"
"This is originally designed to enhance the aesthetics. If you want to change it, you can." Tom nodded, and then asked, "So how do you want to change it and what do you want to change it to?"
"Okay, Master Tom, give me a pen and paper, I'll draw a diagram, and you can handle the bow according to it." Barrett said after a moment's silence.
"Here, sir, I have some paper and pen." Buck handed the paper and pen to Barrett.
"Thanks--"
Barrett took the paper and pen and began to draw. After a while, a divine bird appeared on the paper. The divine bird had eyes like a crow, a beak like a falcon, tail feathers like a phoenix, three legs under its body, and all its feathers were burning with golden pure yang flames.
The divine bird holds its head high, which makes people feel a sense of nobility and dominance.
"Sir, what kind of bird is this?"
Seeing the domineering bird, Tom couldn't help but ask curiously.
Delia and Buck also looked at Barrett curiously.
"Three-legged Golden Crow——"
Barrett uttered a few words softly. There was no legend of the three-legged golden crow in this world. Barrett chose the three-legged golden crow, firstly because it was unique, and secondly because of the three-legged golden crow's domineering power and the ability of its own fruit.
"Three-legged Golden Crow——"
The three of them looked confused and bewildered.
"Master Tom, can you make this?"
Barrett was not so idle as to tell stories to others. He just smiled and looked at Tom.
"Can--"
Tom took the drawing paper, looked at it carefully, and nodded.
"Then thank you for your help." Barrett bowed slightly and saluted, then turned to Buck and said, "Mr. Buck, since Mr. Tom has taken care of it, please come with us."
"That's what you should do, sir." Buck nodded with a smile.
"Then Master Tom, we'll leave first. I'll trouble you with the boat." Barrett greeted Tom with a smile.
"Sir, walk slowly."
Tom smiled and waved.
