Chapter 243: Sewing and Mending
The timely delivery of repair materials made the big shipyard in full swing.
Gordon, Hayata and Pork Chop also came to help.
The soft and spacious bed in the king-level hunter cabin is indeed tempting, but for hunters who are used to activities, being forced to lie down on the bed after waking up is not enjoyment, but torture. .
No one would have thought that among two people and one cat, the one who played the biggest role was not Gordon, who was the strongest and could lift heavy objects. One person could lift two or three people.
Nor is it Hayata, who learned to draw as a child and was able to help with drawings and new sail patterns.
But it was Pig Chop who carried the hammer and chisel.
In the process of studying explosive bombs, the little guy learned the skills of using all common tools, and later under the guidance of the master craftsman , the hands-on ability has been improved to a level that can be called crazy.
With the advantage of its small size, it can also get into the nooks and crannies that human craftsmen cannot enter, inspect and repair minor damages and cracks.
Fast hands and feet, extremely efficient.
If Gordon, the owner, wasn't watching from the side, the captain, whose eyes were shining brightly, would have been tempted to poach the cat.
There is not much else in the Lockrak Tourism Association, but the cute-looking female Ellu is all over the place. The captain of the boat feels that it has a great advantage.
After several days of intensive repairs, the Mineyama Maru is finally not as shabby as it looked before.
——At least the original damaged areas have been patched with cloudwood boards.
But Gordon couldn't help but feel worried.
To be honest, when he heard the term "dragon-attacking ship" for the first time, he thought it would be a majestic ship with high sides and thick armor, forty to fifty meters long, and loaded with dozens of cannons.
How else to become Gu Long’s opponent?
Haven’t the Rockrak people thought about fully strengthening the Mineyama Maru over the years?
Hearing Gordon's worries, the captain laughed loudly.
“Hahaha, that’s because you don’t understand this sea of sand well enough, so you have this idea.”
The captain of the ship came to the side of the Mineyama Maru and patted the low side of the ship that could be climbed up with bare hands. "The sand sea looks like a sea, but it is not a sea.
Don't really compare the sand ship and Mineyama Maru is equated with those big ships in the sea. Although the two look similar, they are actually completely different concepts.
If you have to find something similar, well, sled. Yes, you can actually think of a sand boat as a sled equipped with a sail.
Have you ever seen a heavily armored, tall and large sled? Of course not, because of the excessive weight. Make it unable to move."
He stroked the mysterious keel at the bottom of the Fengshan Pill that was covered with the weather of the times but was still strong and intact, and continued:
"Not just us, our predecessors in the past have also tried to imitate the Fengshan Maru countless times, but they have never succeeded. The main reason is this mysterious keel.
It is light enough and can support the Fengshan Maru several times. The hull of an ordinary sand boat is extremely strong and can survive repeated impacts from the Fengshan Dragon and the terrifying recoil of the dragon-shooting gun.
Other materials cannot satisfy these two points at the same time, not metal, nor the bones of ordinary large monsters, nor cloud wood.
This also makes the number of dragon-killing boats in the sand extremely limited. We have one in Loklak and Balubare."
"There is also a dragon-killing ship in Balubare?"
Hayata, who was carefully drawing the sun emblem on the sail, asked curiously: "Will Fengshan Dragon also attack Balubare's side?"
The captain of the ship was silent for two seconds, "No. , what they need to face may be more difficult than Fengshan Dragon.”
As if he didn’t want to go further on this issue, the captain changed the topic.
“Okay, the repair work of the dragon boat is nearing completion, and the outfitting of the sand boat is almost complete.
Starting tomorrow, we will enter the sand sea to test the performance of the boat. When conducting combat drills, you, the novices, should always know what to do when.”
"Besides me, Hayata also has pork chops. Are there any other newcomers this time?"
"Yes."
The captain of the ship crossed his arms and said It seems natural, "Almost every year during the feast, there will be casualties. Naturally, there will be new people joining.
But they have been practicing with Sand Boat for a long time. The only real "pure newcomers" are you two, and of course, Pork Chop."
< br>“Meow——”
"I'm the newcomer~!" Cessna appeared out of nowhere.
"Captain of the ship, why don't you first explain the tactics and division of labor to Brother Gordon and Sister Hayata? How can we explain it again when we actually go out for a drill?!"
Ship The leader scratched his curly beard "That makes sense. Just put aside what you are doing and let me explain it to you in general."
Gordon brought a few empty wooden boxes, and the captain asked them to sit down and stuff them. Sina crossed her legs and sat down on the ground.
The captain of the ship looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Why are you lazy here? Haven't you already mastered everything you need to learn and practice?"
"Can I also add some explanation!" Cessna did not deny the fact that she was lazy.
The captain of the boat didn't bother to care about her. He took a piece of wood and began to write and draw on the ground covered with fine sand.
"Excluding the fishermen who followed the group to catch sand fish and the support team responsible for emergency rescue, the number of ships directly involved in the battle against Mineyama Dragon was thirteen, including the dragon-attacking ship Mineyama Maru, and ten Two sand boats
Two sand boats. It is a small team, divided into six teams, to defend the dragon boat.
Each sand boat is equipped with two crew members responsible for driving and two to three combatants. The combatants are mainly composed of local experienced people. Hunters, and members of the fortress guerrillas
In addition to the approximately 20 crew members on the dragon boat, the total number of combatants was more than 70.
Gordon Hayata and Pork Chops, you have been assigned to the dragon boat. The cooperative training of the sand boat teams has been completed. It is not appropriate to add you temporarily. "
The two men and the cat nodded in unison.
"The main weapon on the sand boat and the dragon-attacking boat is the heavy bed crossbow. Each sand boat is equipped with one, and the dragon-attack boat is equipped with one. It is equipped with two pieces.
This kind of bed crossbow can fire powerful heavy crossbow shells and restraint shells. Needless to say, the former is connected to a strong rope, which can bring the ship close to Fengshan Dragon for the convenience of combatants. Rush onto the dragon's back.
In addition, the dragon-striking ship is also equipped with two artillery pieces, a giant gong similar to Tangia Port, and the most important weapon - the dragon-smashing gun. "
"I like cannons so much, why can't we also install cannons on sand boats? Boom! It will feel very majestic. "Sesna muttered on the side.
The captain of the ship said helplessly: "The cannon is too heavy, the sand boat will not be able to drive, and the recoil may also knock the sand boat over. You'd better be safe. Practice your crossbow accuracy. "
"Do we also need to practice operating these weapons? "Gordon asked from the side.
"Need. ”
The captain's face became serious, "Although the heavy-duty crossbows and artillery on the dragon-attacking ship have special operators, in a real battle, no one can guarantee that they will not have accidents.
So , we require that every combatant who boards the dragon-attacking ship must be able to skillfully operate these weapons so that he can take up his post at any time when necessary."
Ps.
< br> In the CG cutscene, there are a lot of people on the dragon boat, and there are also a lot of sand boats around. It can't be like in the game, where the protagonist is alone on the ghost boat and fights Fengshan Dragon emmm
There is also a problem with the translation of "varistor elastic". Although I am used to this translation, I don't know how sharp it is but it is very cool. However, this came from a mistake made by the Chinese translation team. The word varistor has the same pronunciation as the word "heavy crossbow". When the Chinese translation team discovered this for the first time, they thought this messy translation was very cool, so they used it.
