Chapter 187: Battleship "Queen Francis"
Chapter 187 Battleship "Queen Francis"
Although Solundo already has ironclad ships, galleons are still the mainstream in this era. Compared with the warships of the Rainbow Kingdom, the warships of the arms dealer of Michelin are much larger.
The hulls of these big ships are very tall, like a city wall. The cabin has three floors, one main gun at the bow of the ship, and fifteen on each side. There are also some deck guns on the deck, which add up to more than 30 guns.
In pirates, no one can afford these ships except for a few super pirate organizations that dominate certain waters.
After came inside and took a look, Louis found that the cabin inside was much larger than it looked outside. The displacement is also much larger than that of a ship of the same specification. This couldn't help but surprise Louis—it seemed that they were all magic ships.
It’s no wonder that the business of Berlifu is better than others.
Michelin, they are the first wizards to go to the sea to eat crabs—more than three hundred years ago.
They combined the Muggle and wizard ship technology together, and the technology is very mature. Therefore, compared with ordinary caravans, their fleet is not as big as an ordinary caravan. And Michelin has some wizards who know how to build ships. When they make ships, the cost is much lower!
Dozens of wizards who know how to build ships unite and build ships like piles of wood.
So Michelin’s ships are not only better, the cost of shipbuilding is also very low.
After making a round on this ship, Louis found that the crew’s living environment was very good. The space inside was much larger than he thought. I couldn't help asking how many sailors could be carried.
Michelin said with a smile.
"Normal large sailing ships of this type have a rated crew of two hundred. But my ship, but with more than 400 people staying there, it can squeeze more than 600 people. However, because these ships have to carry cargo and are at sea. The cost of supply is very high. So it’s usually two to three hundred people. If there are more wizards on the boat, dozens of people on these boats will be able to drive. Think about it, this trip, how much more cargo can be loaded than others? How much less do you spend on supplies?"
"And" said, the little fat arms dealer wiped the sweat from his neck, climbed up a box with some effort, and came to the cabin window.
Then he took out a magic wand and knocked on the wooden wall. I saw runes flickering on the wall, and when the Michelin tapped, Louis also heard the metal sound.
"Although it is not as strong as an ironclad ship due to the overall structure, it is not as strong as an ordinary ship can sink."
The little fat man Michelin looked at Louis, with a big smile on his face:
"Well, my ship, but I use it, and I never take it out. Although it does not have steam power, it can’t compare with the iron armored ship, but it’s surprisingly fast! It goes crazy at a critical moment, then in a short time Let alone your Majesty’s steam battleship, even the Kraken can’t catch up!"
"The only drawback is that this kind of ship requires crew members to understand magic, which requires a very high level of sailors-the ships operated by various wizard nations are basically this type of ship. Their sailors are also civilian wizards. "
The little fat man said: "These ships are very suitable as the ships of the Wizards Association. I think the magicians are more technical than the noble wizards. The future magicians can modify them on the basis of these ships. Yes. In the future, Solundo’s magic ship will definitely be better than wizards."
Louis and Little Fatty wandered around several boats, and found that Little Fatty’s boat had several models. Although the size of the boats was not much different, the functions were different. Some are very fast, and some have been blessed by elves. They are particularly resistant to beatings and can repair themselves. Sailors will be assisted by elves when working on them. Not only will the efficiency be very high, but the rate of fire, accuracy and range of the artillery will also be very high. Both are twice as big.
Some ships are cursed. After being hit, the ship on the opposite side will also be damaged. If the technology of the ghost ship is cracked, this type of ship is very suitable for ghost sailors. At that time, this kind of cursed ship can be used to push the ship and set up the fog.
This is simply an invisible fleet at sea!
The ghost ship three thousand years ago, under the command of the necromancer, is almost invincible in close combat at sea. Because the ghost ship can sail not only on the sea, but also on the bottom of the sea.
Once the ghost above flies into the enemy ship, the people inside the enemy ship are silent. Therefore, no matter what ship is on the opposite side, even the iron-clad steam battleship of this era, there is no solution to this kind of ghost ship.
At present, the best ship of the Belif family can only be arranged in the mist. Because of the lack of magic power, it is impossible to supply too many ghosts to live on the ship-some specially treated ships can be used like ghost ships, but the manufacturing process is too evil.
But even the current ships of this type are already very good-only battleships can be compared with them.
"At present, these special types of ships are only owned by our Belif and a few wizard families." Michelin said triumphantly.
After watching these ships, Louis somewhat understood why Archie boasted that although the ships provided were a bit old compared to Sorrento’s ironclad ships, they were no worse than the second-tier main fleet in any kingdom.
And these ships also have an advantage that ordinary ships can’t match-they are more suitable for those weird and changeable sea monster sea areas. When fighting in that kind of sea, they almost came and went without a trace. They fought and ran when they wanted to fight.
These ships can indeed serve as the first battleships of the Seventh Fleet. Even after over, it can still be used.
Just as Louis and Michelin got off a certain cursed ship and walked in the harbor to wonder what kind of ship they would choose, a huge shadow enveloped him.
Louis raised his head and saw a huge sea fortress.
It doesn't have three layers of cabins, but three layers of light decks. The battleships that Michelin had boasted about before, compared with it, are like little toys.
This hideous behemoth has a row of artillery on each deck. The artillery is divided according to the weight of the projectiles. The bottom layer is heavy cannon, the middle layer is medium cannon, and the upper layer is light cannon. The lower row is larger than the main guns of other ships.
It looks densely packed and very spectacular.
No matter what magic ship it is, once it enters its range, it is not so fun.
"This is, battleship?" Louis' eyes lit up.
Poor Michelin didn’t know what was about to happen. He laughed and introduced it proudly.
He does have reason to be proud. Other arms dealers also sell some guns and ammunition. Those who can sell artillery are already very impressive.
But as the spokesperson for the arms of the Kingdom of Solundo, the Hammer of the Gods has everything, or they have what Francisco asks them to sell.
On the one hand, these weapons sold will all support the kingdoms of Solundo. On the one hand, Solundo also needs a lot of money to build an ironclad ship.
Although the bulk of the money earned goes to Francisco, Michelin just takes some money from it, which is enough to eat fat.
After all, the cost of this thing alone is more than one million pounds—the navy has always been a big money-burner, and this ship is worth more than 20 small castles. The shells fired, the gunpowder burned, and maintenance costs are also not a small figure.
With the demographic and economic strength of the wizards, there is no capital to make too many such things.
But the Muggles’ battleships are in the hundreds.
Now, although ironclad ships are gradually appearing, in various kingdoms, wooden battleships are still the main battleships. It is divided into 80 battleships with guns and 60 battleships with guns, respectively called first and second battleships. Those with less than three decks are three-tier battleships.
And for a certain famous flagship, the number of artillery pieces is more than one hundred or even one hundred and forty.
The displacement of this ship is not smaller than that of a first-class battleship. According to Michelin's words, it is enough to be used as a flagship in the cruiser fleet.
As for the artillery, since its main function is to deter pirates, and it needs to travel in areas with sea monsters, speed is very important, so the artillery only has less than 80 guns installed.
"Look at its sails." Michelin took out his wand, pointed at the far sail, chanted a spell, and then the sail gradually unfolded. I can see the vague charm pattern on the huge sail.
"It's speed is not slower than the steam battleship, and the hull has also imposed a lot of spells, so it is very strong. When Sorrento fought with other kingdoms more than ten years ago, the ship was requisitioned by Francis. During that naval battle, it was flanked by many warships, but it sank a ship, and then killed a **** road unscathed!"
"Just look at the displacement—more than 6,000 tons." Michelin said cheerfully, wiping the sweat from his neck: "This is more than two or three times that of many battleships! It can be said that she is a hideous man in sheep's clothing. Monster!"
"What's its name?" Louis asked curiously.
"It's called the'Queen Francis'." Michelin wiped his sweat and looked at his beloved baby with a smile on his face. In his eyes, this ship is his wife.
Louis scolded himself secretly-damn, still can't fix the problem of liking other people's wives.
This ship is the first ship built by the Hammer of Ares after it cooperated with the Kingdom of Solundo under the leadership of Francisco. The Hammer of Ares took the lead in convening wizards and Muggle boaters~www.wuxiaspot.com~. A magic battleship-also the first magic battleship in the world.
At that time, Francis was still the Queen of Witches. Because of its commemorative significance and the desire to flatter, the ship was called “Queen Francis” instead of “Francisco Queen”. Queen Chesco'.
Amidst Michelin’s excited introduction, Louis also looked at Michelin’s wife with shining eyes.
"The queen is mine."
"Huh?" Michelin blinked, but didn't react for a while.
"The Queen is mine."
"Huh?!" Michelin opened his mouth wide, his face a little green.
"Oh, I mean. Let me play for two days." Louis said with a smile, "Just play for two days. Really."
"Ah ah ah ah." The little fat man opened his mouth and cried.
He understood that the ten ships Louis wanted, and Louis had no plans to return this big ship 80% of the time.
Ask for some recommendation votes.
