To keep technical confidentiality, reinforcement was carried out secretly in the closed dock in Bermuda.

Not only was the owner of the ship Lu Yuan not allowed to enter, but even the old shipbuilder Henrik who participated in the formulation of the transformation plan was not invited and could only stay outside like Lu Yuan. This undoubtedly made him extremely dissatisfied and kept nagging.

Because the transformation results of this ship will be directly linked to his bonus, he seems very irritable... and vowed to find countless problems after the ship is completed to humiliate those guys.

As for Lu Yuan... he had cleared all the property he carried in the bottom warehouse and his carry-on space, and even the money he had in the usury shop was consumed 50%. Although he also purchased the supplies needed to strengthen the gold scroll, he was already considering - am I crazy?!

Even if LeBron wants to take out such a large sum of money, he will be so painful that he can't sleep.

*******

Lu Yuan, and all the adjutants who followed him into the dock - first lieutenant John, priest Padley, carpenter Henrik, stormtrooper August, his assistant Christina, and admiral Li Huamei - all stared at the huge hull in front of him, becoming speechless!

Lu Yuan was unbelievably photographed a few "identification techniques" and went up. The Lord God firmly told him... Dear, you read it right. Your eyes are fine. This is your enhanced ship. The name is also "Erona"...

Oh, your sister! Lu Yuan is almost about to overturn the table! But is this augmentation?

Damn it cost me a total of 600,000 peso real gold and silver reinforcement?!

Lu Yuan gestured silently at the hull that was 1.742 times larger than the original version. Is this a ship obviously rebuilt?! Is there anything as strengthened as you?

Seeing Lu Yuan's crazy expression, the four shipbuilders looked at him with shame. However, Lu Yuan ignored them and walked around the hull, climbing up and down to observe. Given that he still had the final payment to settle, the four old men could only follow behind in embarrassment.

At this time, in Lu Yuan's eyes, the measurement data of the ship was rolling like a waterfall.

The length of the hull extends from 37 meters to 60.2 meters, and the width increases from 8 meters to 13.1 meters, and still maintains a length-to-length ratio of 4.6. Although the ship still maintains a slender hull, as the volume increases, the navigation speed of the ship will inevitably decrease slightly. However, at the same time, the space inside the ship will greatly increase, and the ship's stability and endurance will be well enhanced.

Moreover, after the space was increased, both the captain's room and the place where the sailors lived were more comfortable, and the division of various cabins was more reasonable... At least Lu Yuan saw four or five cabins he had never seen before, such as... "chart room", "bow tip cabin", and "stern tip cabin"?

Lu Yuan knew it was a god-horse thing, but he couldn't help but complain.

After he visited the captain's toilet and compared it with the adjutants' toilets (the crew's toilet was in front of the forecastle and the bow was like the rear), he climbed down from the boat in a daze.

When he got off the boat, he found that the depth of the hull (the vertical distance from the deck to the keel) also increased to 7 meters. It was as high as two floors, and it was nearly one-quarter of the old ship.

This battleship, which was framed as an enhanced version of the cruiser "Arona", looks more like a small battleship. Or according to the new British division method, this should be a third-level or fourth-level battleship. You should know that the displacement of this ship reaches 1,800 tons! If it is placed in a British shipyard, it will definitely be equipped with more cannons and installed into a battleship.

In order to provide more power, the three masts and sail installations were also adjusted. Several sides were removed by the sails that were proven to be useless by various countries. Then the three-layer sail installations were added to four layers. A top sail was set up on the upper sails, and various mule sails on the five sides in front. In order to match the blue sails, the waterline of the hull was also painted in blue and white colors, which looked much more lively. In particular, the shelling line on the artillery deck was painted dark blue, which looked less murderous than black.

But don’t you feel ashamed to drive on the sea with blue and white strips?

After checking the data, Lu Yuan could not control his excitement. He grabbed the shipbuilder next to him and said loudly, "Thank you so much! This "Constitution" is so great!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but complain. This ship looks so similar to the famous "Constitution" (uss.constitution) super frigate in the United States! No, it was simply copied from the original version, and it was slightly reduced in proportion!

"This... the transformation effect is unexpected, we can't imagine it..." Before the old man finished speaking, Lu Yuan grabbed his neck and picked it up, and roared at him! "But where did you hide my 'Erona'?!"

The four old men were stunned by him! The changes in the ship were a little big... and the artillery looked a little less... but overall it looked pretty good, right? Why did the owner of the ship react so much?! He still has two million yuan to pay that...

Lu Yuan relaxed his hand, threw the old man away, waved his hand and called Henrik over, "These bastards actually changed me...to our ship like this! Can you bear it? There is no magic attribute! This is called reinforcement?" Although it is a very rough bronze level, it is also a magic attribute! The four old men on the side twitched their eyes.

"I can't bear it!" Henrik shouted, slashing his hand in the middle - half of the money he had lost!

"Then what are you waiting for? Go up and bite... reason! I don't understand this." Lu Yuan slashed again in the middle of the part he was chopping, then waved his hand - only one quarter, and refused to bargain!

Henrik knew that Lu Yuan was not easy to talk, but then he thought... If he had complained about two million, he would have been able to get 500,000 pesos in one go! It would be a lot. And he suspected that Lu Yuan had at most 500,000 pesos left in his pocket, and if there were more, he would have to be denied the debt... Thinking of this, he turned around and cried at the four old men, "We don't want this broken ship. You pay me the Erona! That's the lifeblood that I have built for twenty years!" After that, he rushed up and started fighting.

Henrik argued with the four old men there. In short, the original "Erona" is good, and the copycat version of the "Constitution" is bad. In particular, although the "Constitution" is more advanced, it does not conform to the mainstream values ​​of this era.

For example, the gunner's residence. Each gunner's hammock on the new ship has two or three square meters of space around it. There are tables for eating, and it can be used as an activity place to put away the hammock. There are not many artillery items, so the environment is quite good. But the habit of treating sailors in this era is that they are gunners in wartime, and canned sardines in normal times. The hammock is so empty that you are sick!

The four old men were so angry that they couldn't raise their heads. What they couldn't understand even more was... Why did the reinforcement of the "Erona" become like this?

Lu Yuan ignored the matter there and continued to look at this copycat version of the super battleship.

Compared with the original American "Constitution", the total length of the new "Erona" is 2 meters shorter and the displacement is about 300 tons. In the same batch, it can be considered a warship of the same level... The problem is that the first American "Constitution"-level warship was launched in Boston in 1797. This year was just 1696. It was a year earlier than a hundred years ago!

If it weren't for the trick of the Lord God, Lu Yuan could take off his head as a ball! Aren't you desperately taking advantage of loopholes and trying to build a super advanced battleship? I'll give you one... But looking at the size of the battleship, heavy Galen Sailboat, and the muzzle that was arranged sparsely. Lu Yuan felt pain.

The advanced nature of this ship is all-round, but Lu Yuan is not that odor... It cost six million pesos. It is equivalent to the money you can buy a brand new battleship directly, but there is a kind of kick that is trapped by the Lord God?

Especially the number of artillery.

In 1797, the manufacturing process of artillery was not comparable to that in 1696. After a hundred years of development, the power of artillery has been greatly improved. Compared with the wooden sail warship, the power of artillery has been excessive, and it is necessary to appropriately reduce the number of artillery. Moreover, there is the emergence of the terminator of the wooden shell warship, paixhans_gun. In that era, more considerations were about airworthiness, continuous combat capabilities, sailor treatment, etc.

But at the end of the 17th century, such a large ship was embarrassed to say hello to someone if it didn’t fit in with eighty cannons when it went out!

*******

In the end, Lu Yuan paid only 500,000 yuan in the final payment. With the prepaid final payment and material costs, the cost of this upgrade was finally controlled within 5 million pesos (including a commission of 380,000 to Henrik).

However, Lu Yuan cannot evaluate the properties of this ship for the time being, because the reinforcement needs to continue.

Whether it is the installation of the bow image and wheel rudder of the legendary items, or the transformation of the ship by Li Huamei, they must be carried out one after another. Even the sail installation must be further adjusted according to Lu Yuan's requirements. His goal is always to rely on the "activation rope" magic and octopus tentacles to drive alone.

These made the whole group work for four days.

When all the transformations except for the strengthening of the Golden Scroll have been completed, there is only one day left before the agreement between Elizabeth.
