Chapter 148 Disadvantages of Watertight Tanks
The jury masters believed that the speed-enhancing Slope 1 designed by Daliang will activate an alchemy equipment or magic array that can increase the speed of the ship during navigation.
However, after they sailed around the sea and realized that this sloop warship was much faster than the basic model, they walked down from the ship with a confused look on their faces.
"How is this possible? The internal structure of this sloop warship is almost the same as that of an ordinary model. It has only slightly changed the shape of the bow. How could it be that the speed of the ship has been increased so much? Did you find magical energy on the ship while sailing?"
"No, I found nothing."
"Don't you noticed the change in the head of the ship? The bow of this sloop warship is sharper, has very good wave breaking ability, and does not affect the steering ability of the ship. I guess the reason for all this is caused by the bulge below the head of the ship. As for what principle is, I didn't understand."
Daliang's speed-enhancing Sloop 1 ship shocked the jury's masters. As they gathered together to discuss the design principle of the bulbous bow, Kui Tu walked to Daliang and said.
"You actually studied the bulbous bow in the game? I have also proposed this suggestion to my mentor to increase the speed of the ship, but the ship designers in this game seem to have not realized the consumption of water fluctuations on power. Without this pre-position technology, there is no way to start studying the bulbous bow. It seems that your mentor has already conducted in-depth research on the impact of water fluctuations on the ship."
Seeing all the ship designers have an incredible expression, especially the masters of the jury wished they could go into the water to study the bulbous bow carefully, which made Daliang very proud.
"It's normal. My mentor is a master who can design third-level battleships. He has been studying how to increase the speed of the ship to design second-level battleships for so many years. He has achieved some results in reducing water wave resistance. Therefore, I proposed the bulbous bow design to him, and he quickly studied it. Everything was natural."
Aoi Tsui knew that Daliang's mentor was a master-class ship designer, but he didn't expect that he was a master who could design a third-level battleship.
However, through his mentor, Kui Tu knew that there were only two ship design masters in China who could design third-level battleships, one in Hong Kong City and the other in Beixing City. I have never heard of another such master in Shangjiang.
Is Daliang lying?
But no matter what, Aoi Too was envious of being able to worship a master-class ship designer, and he easily developed the bulbous bow.
To speed up the sloop battleship and increase the sloop battleship's survivability, how to view the design level required for speeding up the sloop battleship is higher.
Aoi Tsu came here with expectations for the ship design master medal, but she didn't expect to encounter a better battleship design here than herself.
Aoi Tu sighed silently. At this time, the jury also ranked the final ranking of the ship designs participating in the review.
"The ship design that participated in this election has allowed us to see the future of ship design, especially the design of two single-mast warships. If it can be widely used, it will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to the ships in the future.
The sloop battleship and the speed-enhancing sloop 1 ship, which is difficult for us to choose.
However, after careful discussion by our jury, we unanimously agreed that the watertight cabin technology used by the sloop combat ship is more practical, which allows our warships to survive longer in war, and gives some seriously injured warships the opportunity to arrive at the port safely for maintenance.
Therefore, we announce that the winner of this ship design is…”
It was a turn of twists and turns. Aoi Tzu didn't expect that his design was eventually selected as the winner by the masters of the jury. It seems that although the masters surrendered, they were still worried about the behavior of the Great Palace. It seems that he was the one who laughed to the last time.
"I object to the review of the winners of this year's review team."
Just as the jury was about to announce the winner as a sloop battleship, a voice suddenly appeared on the dock.
Then Gith pushed away the crowd and walked over.
A jury master said: "Master Gith, you are not qualified to question the jury's judgment."
Gith said: "Matthew, I know you. When I successfully designed the third-class battleship "Conqueror", you had just advanced to the Master-class ship designer. And your five highest achievements are just the ability to design the fourth-class battleship. I think I am fully qualified to question your judgment."
Although it is not a big secret that Gith had a problem with his head in the Ship Designers Association, his achievements were there.
Each level of battleship has a technical leap. Although the third-level battleship and fourth-level battleship are only one level apart, there is an insurmountable technical gap.
As a capable of designing a third-level battleship, Gith is indeed qualified to question the jury's judgment.
Of course, Gith can do it just a question. He can tell his reasons, but the final judgment is still in the hands of the jury.
Therefore, the masters of the jury did not have a quarrel with Gith, but allowed Gith to express his views.
Anyway, we just don’t reward the winner to your disciples.
"Well, Master Gith. You have made extraordinary achievements in ship design, and we would like to hear your views on the design of these two sloops."
Gith, who was allowed, said: "For the speed-enhanced Sloop 1 designed by my disciples, you have seen it point out a feasible path for us to break through the second-class battleship design. I will not say more about its significance.
As for the ship watertight cabin technology added to the sloop combat ship...
In fact, the reason why I am confused now is the research on watertight cabin technology.
Watertight cabin technology can not only improve the survivability of the ship, but also reduce the materials used inside the hull to achieve the purpose of reducing self-weight.
However, I found that if a watertight tank is added to the hull, the use of ribs must be greatly reduced, and the impact of weakened internal support on the hull is not obvious on the sloop warship. However, once a watertight tank is added to the hull, the weakened pressure bearing capacity of the hull will not be allowed to bear too high and too heavy superstructures.
To solve this problem, we can only flatten the hull to disperse the pressure on the superstructure.
The flat hull causes the slowing speed of the ship and the insufficient number of artillery arrangements.
Of course, watertight cabin technology is still good for merchant ships. The reduction of internal materials will make more space and can install more cargo.
