Clipper sailboats have extremely slender hulls to minimize sailing resistance, but how can the strength of such a slender hull be guaranteed? To what extent should the hull be slender to avoid causing uncomfortable lateral rolling? These are also issues that Seaman needs to address.

Not to mention changing the height of the four masts. When Qin Mo was about to extend the masts to almost the length of the ship, Ximan thought he had gone mad. Even in a light breeze, let alone a strong wind, wouldn't the masts break on their own?

The most ingenious design was the hollow bow, which gave Seaman a real headache. He wanted to make the bow as light as possible and the buoyancy as great as possible, so that when encountering a raging torrent, the bow could be easily lifted to pass over it, instead of cutting through the huge waves and bearing the enormous resistance.

When the ship was finally launched and tested, Seaman went crazy. Its top speed of nearly 15 knots was almost the same as that of an elven ship powered by a magic array, but the cost was relatively... affordable.

"Qin Mo, this ship is great in every way, but why didn't you have Ximan carve it with lots of patterns?" Shia ran around the new ship and finally found a flaw.

"Will the tread pattern increase the ship's speed? Will it make the ship more sturdy? Instead of going through all that trouble, we might as well build a new ship!"

"But a magnificent warship can reflect your princely majesty!"

"No, flashy things either attract women or thieves. I already have plenty of women, so it's better to keep a low profile!" Qin Mo glanced at Xia casually.

Shia felt looked down upon, but now that Kaihime was no longer by Qin Mo's side, she immediately retorted with disdain: "I really doubt your elven bloodline. Apart from your appearance, I haven't found any other elven characteristics in you."

Qin Mo retorted dismissively, "Being handsome is already a huge problem for me. If I add those unnecessary external adornments, all the women will be 'infatuated' with me. I'd better leave some room for the other women!"

Shia turned and left angrily, and Qin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had deliberately angered Shia and made her leave. These past few days, he had been sensitive to Shia's closeness to him, and he felt it was better to keep his distance from her. He had been living too sexually fulfillingly for the past two months, and had become addicted. The two of them were staying too close on the ship, and if something happened in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be good.

Staggering back to her deluxe cabin, Qin Mo found Shia lying on her bed making her a bed, her slender legs curled up, her already very pert buttocks twitching, making Qin Mo feel a pang of discomfort in her stomach, and she secretly cursed herself for where her former self-control had gone.

"Ahem! Shia, it's getting late, you should go and rest too! There's no need to be so formal when you're out and about."

Shia remained unmoved by Qin Mo's words. After tidying up the bed until it was perfectly smooth, she jumped off and casually asked, "Your Highness, would you like me to help you with your bath?"

"No need, the ship has limited fresh water, it's better not to be too extravagant!"

Shia's face turned cold as she strode out of the cabin, slamming the door shut, making Qin Mo feel even worse. Want to chat with more like-minded people about "Sailing and Conquest"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read, discuss life, and find kindred spirits~
