Defense is the ability to withstand cannon fodder damage. If you want to increase defense, you must increase the thickness of the hull, or hang metal bulletproof boards at important positions, which will increase the weight of the warship and slow down the speed.

And increase the speed.

When the sail design has reached perfection and cannot be improved, it can only be solved by reducing the hull's self-weight, and the consequence is to cause a decrease in defense.

Defense and speed are two difficult attributes for each battleship.

Speed ​​represents rapid deployment, and maintain good maneuverability in naval battles to avoid fired shells.

However, no warship can guarantee that it will not be shot in naval battles. How to reduce its own losses after being shot requires warships to have reliable defense.

Warships below the three-masted warship have tended to be perfect in design, and their speed and defense have reached a very good fit.

However, after reaching the level of battleships, the increase in the volume of the battleships caused a significant decline in the ship's speed.

Taking the Conqueror as an example, its propulsion ratio dropped to 40, while the propulsion ratio of the three-masted warship was 70.

At the same time, the flexibility of the hull has also declined significantly.

The reason why the second-class battleship has not been designed for a long time is that as the hull continues to grow, its ship speed will drop to an unbearable data.

No navy is willing to accept a battleship that cannot even drive out of a port, even if its firepower is strong.

Therefore, the problem that troubles all ship design masters is how to increase the speed of the second-level battleship. Some ship design masters propose to reduce the defense capabilities of the second-level battleship and expand the capacity based on the current third-level battleship hull.

Used to install more weapons, more soldiers, larger magic ban devices and magic amplifiers.

This is also the idea of ​​mainstream ship design masters, and a second-class battleship designed with this idea is about to appear.

Daliang, who is preparing to build on the nautical development fleet in the game, still has some understanding of the secrets in the design of these ships.

It is also known that there are two contradictory attributes of defense and speed on the ship.

Faced with the problem of Gith, Daliang thought for a while and said: "The naval battle where battleships need to be used is definitely not a low-intensity maritime conflict. As an important firepower output weapon, it will also be the focus of enemy firepower strike targets. Therefore, battleships should give priority to their survival in naval battles, and their defense capabilities should even be given priority over offensive capabilities.

But speed is the basic survival of a warship, and its importance is equivalent to defense ability.

Therefore, I think defense and speed are very important to battleships. We cannot slow down the speed just because we need to increase our defense, nor can we reduce the defense just because we need to increase our speed.”

Regarding Daliang's answer, Gis said a little angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I know that defense and speed are two important attributes for the survival of warships. Now I ask you to choose the most important one from it. This is a single choice question."

"I chose to use the battleship design to make these two attributes fit. A battleship only has strong defense and speed.

Daliang answered firmly.

In the 18 world, even sail battleships with 110 cannons are used on the sea surface of the earth. It is impossible to get stuck on the battleships with 80 cannons in the game.

Although the weapons of the battleships in the game are not only artillery, but also large creature compartments, crossbows, magic bans, magic amplifiers, and other things that take up space.

But Daliang still feels that the design of the warship hull in the game still has room for improvement. Since the second-level battleship level exists in the theoretical game, it will definitely appear in the game.

And it is definitely not a so-called reduced second-level battleship. If you really do that, you will probably not even be able to defeat the third-level battleship.

Daliang's answer made Gith fall into silence. When the undead was silent, no one knew what they were thinking.

After a while, Gith said, "I want to accept you as an apprentice in designing a warship. I wonder if Lord Viscount is willing to worship me as his teacher?"

Apprentice to a master? Learn warship design!

Daliang really didn't think about it at the beginning.

This is learning life skills. Upgrading not only requires skill books, but also requires proficiency.

Proficiency really requires hard work. It is impossible to cultivate life skills without spending a lot of time.

If Daliang is an ordinary player, he would be happy to learn the design of a warship, such a magnificent profession. At that time, just selling the drawings of a sloop ship will be enough to make money without worries.

But Daliang is now the lord, with nearly 10,000 soldiers in his hand, and the territory construction will soon begin to upgrade to level 4.

After level 5, Marquis Stanley could not provide construction drawings. Daliang could only lead his army into the base camp of the undead tribe, where there was a high-risk area where bone dragons were flying all over the sky and dark knights ran everywhere.

There are also the Judgment Corps and Fishery.

There is also Aobajima, where Jeju City suffers losses, and it will definitely not give up.

I am now in Buwu, Weijia, and I have time to practice life skills?

But... this is a ship design master who is taking apprentices. In the whole game, several players can find a master-level hero to be a master.

Trouble, tangled.

Forget it, I have to fight. Do you still care about learning more skills for a high-quality game like me?

If Gis accepts a talented apprentice like Brother, he suddenly becomes happy and his mind becomes clear and his thinking is smooth. Then, will he be able to wipe his butt with the second-level battle-level drawings and the first-level battle-level drawings? Joyce cried and begged her to make her beg her prince?

"It is my honor to be the disciple of Master Gith."

There was no grand apprenticeship ceremony, nor three bows and nine bows. With the confirmation of the system, Daliang had a master-apprentice relationship with the ship design master Gith.

But Gis was not too happy to accept Daliang's apprentice, but took him into the counter.

Then take down a model of a unit merchant ship on the display stand.

"Before I formally teach you the design of the primary ship, you need to understand the basic structure of the ship. This is a model of a sloop merchant ship, which is the most basic hull structure of all ships. This model has 143 modules spliced ​​together, and you..." I saw Gise poking the model of this sloop merchant ship, and it immediately turned into a bunch of small wooden blocks of various styles. "Reassembling these modules within a limited time of five minutes is your first lesson. Remember not to have more or fewer ones."

Daliang looked at the pile of small wooden blocks in front of him and opened his mouth, saying, "Teacher, can you demonstrate to me first?"

Gis snorted: "Even this kind of small model cannot be completed, it means you do not have the talent to become a ship designer. I will break our master-apprentice relationship. Remember to send the corpses of the two golden dragons and also look forward to the store. Every product here has a price tag. If someone comes in to buy the model, you can sell it to him at the price."

After saying that, Gis walked towards the backyard, leaving only Daliang in the shop with a confused look on his face.
Chapter completed!
