Chapter 403 This Ship Can Take Castel Away
Absurd, really absurd.
But this absurd design is entirely based on realistic considerations. Whether it is the ram, catapult or flight deck, they are all the optimal solutions for naval warfare at present, but when put together they form such a weird thing.
Ken didn't feel anything, but Xius, a time traveler who had seen a real warship, felt terrible.
etc!
Xiusi suddenly felt something was wrong again.
Can an airship be parked on board?
An aircraft carrier is a very normal design, because airplanes are only this big, but how could an airship be stuffed onto the deck?
Hughes quickly took the blueprint and began to check the dimensions with his eyes wide open.
"One hundred and fifty meters in width?!?"
"1,100 meters long???"
Hughes was completely numb.
He didn't know anything about shipbuilding, but he wasn't completely ignorant either.
For example, the largest aircraft carrier on the blue planet is the Ford-class (CVN-78), which is an exaggerated 337 meters in length and 41 meters in width, making it the largest in history.
Although it would be a lot larger if the flight deck was included, it was just a kitten compared to the ship in front of us.
Civilian ships can be larger, such as container ships, which are over 400 meters in length, but 1,100 meters. By the way, the Ford-class has a full complement of 5,000 people. With the size of this ship, it can easily pack up all the people in Castel and take them away.
Wow, a floating fortress, huh?
Zeus was so angry that he laughed. It was really bold to think of such a thing.
Xiu Si suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the blueprint carefully again and twitched his lips: "Do you know the size of your ship?"
He nodded his head like pounding garlic.
"So what are you planning to hit with this horn?"
I thought it was a small boat, and it made sense that it relied on its speed to ram those sailing warships.
But the ramming angle of this ship is bigger than that of other ships. This is not a ramming angle, this is like ramming a mountain! "This is based on the fighting style of [Mother]."
"You mean"
"Yes, it hit the port."
Ken gestured excitedly, "Use the ram to hit the dock, then turn on the steam engine to maximum power, and swing it violently - the dock will be flattened!"
"We saw the Mother destroy the entire dock with ease before, and figured that's how a big ship should be used, flattening everything at once. In the process, use the catapult to throw explosive packs up, and then send the airship to blow them up again after the push is complete."
In Zeus' mind, there came a scene where [Mother] stretched out her arms and swung them in a circle, crushing the harbor guards and their shelters, only the huge monster was replaced by a ship, and the arms were replaced by thick ramming horns. Not to mention, if this ship was really built, it would be hard to say which one would be more like a monster, the [Mother] or not. Zeus suddenly reacted.
"Did Tata design this ship of yours?"
"Right!" Ken said a little embarrassedly, "I also came up with some ideas."
Recalling Tata's resume, he was the first to propose the stellar furnace that could be used to burn the entire evil god, designed the Castel Cathedral, a building as tall as a mountain, and now he has designed a ship as huge as the evil god. "Did he ever say anything like 'bigger is better, more is more beautiful' or something like that?"
"How did you know?" Ken was surprised. "Our entire design institute is impressed by Mr. Tata's design—"
My goodness, the worship of strength is prevalent in the Crusaders, and giant ships and cannons are prevalent in the design institute. What will Castel look like in the future?
This unhealthy trend must be resolutely stopped!
"Ridiculous!" Hughes rebuked. "Building such a huge ship has exceeded the limit of practicality. It is a pure waste of steel and materials. Is there any use for it?"
"But it's really great." Ken scratched his head a little aggrieved. "Lord Tata originally wanted to build a ship as big as an island, which could carry the entire Castel. The next time we encounter the evil god, we can use Castel to fight guerrilla warfare."
"Why doesn't he just install a few engines on the island and drive it away?" Hughes sneered.
"That was a plan that required a lot of work and was not very realistic, so we gave it up."
Hughes was completely speechless. He threw the blueprint on the table and said, "Let Tata reflect on this. How feasible is this? We are engineers. We don't build industries based on fantasy. All designs must be based on material foundations. How can we build a good ship if we do this?"
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Ken sighed and cleaned up the table, until he saw the figure in front of him and was startled: "Lord, why are you back?"
"Hey, give me a copy of that blueprint. I want to take another look at it and criticize this unhealthy trend!"
"The Black Pearl, my eternal one and only, the fire of my desire, the light of my life, I swear to travel every inch of the sea in this world with you!"
"But you are a little too small."
"The cabin is too small to accommodate more steam engines, and the deck is too small to land even the smallest airship, not to mention that the hull is made of wood, which is slightly less strong than steel."
“So I found a construction team.”
On the side, several engineers were pointing and talking at this side from a distance.
"What is he doing?"
"Calm the ship's spirit."
"Ship, ship soul? Is there really such a thing? I have only heard of machine souls."
"Of course there is. It is said that Jeremiah went to the northern bay and salvaged several pieces of steel from the sunken ship. It is said that the soul of the sunken ship is attached to the steel. Using it to build a new ship will bring good luck."
“Ah, this.”
"It makes sense if you think about it. There must be a steam engine in the sunken ship, right? There are both Noisy Ones and Machine Souls. If they are piled up with steel day and night, who knows what magical things might come out. It's not impossible that there might be a ship soul."
"No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to ask, why use the steel from a sunken ship? Isn't it unlucky?"
“.”
The engineers shut their mouths and watched Jeremiah kiss the deck with complicated expressions.
After a while, he finished this series of rituals, and the workers gathered around him. Just as they were about to start work, Jeremiah jumped up again.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment, give me some time, I will treat everyone to sweet fruit wine later!"
After saying that, he trotted over to the banshee next to him.
"Ms. Finnel, please!"
Finnel waved her snake tail, and six hands picked up the paintbrushes.
Jeremiah turned around and ran to the Black Pearl, took out the scimitar with its scabbard, leaned on the ground, and casually lifted up his clothes, revealing the musket at his waist.
He wanted to make a grim expression, but as he stood by the boat, his mouth opened into a grin and he couldn't suppress it.
