Chapter 1177 Brand just wants to build a big toy!
As a playmate since childhood, Chris knew Brand very well.
So she immediately confirmed a fact from Brand's reaction:
This prodigal lord just wanted to make his big toy!
As for solving the problem of the shortage of civilian ships, I'm afraid it's just a matter of luck and no joke at all!
When Brand went to "inspect the goods" with great interest.
After returning her gaze to the huge hull structure made of ordinary metal in front of her, Chris looked increasingly helpless.
——She is now very doubtful that the final product may be just a product that can only sail in inland waters!
He was born into the Romine family, which is proficient in business, and much of the shipbuilding knowledge of the Morningflower Territory was purchased from Free Iris and handed over to the craftsmen of the territory and Brand through her hands.
So Chris is not ignorant about the craft of shipbuilding.
——Anyway, she has never seen any sea-going ship whose main body is entirely made of ordinary metal!
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that her prodigal lord obtained some kind of special shipbuilding technology.
So now I am excited and want to actually build it and test it.
But no matter what, there is one undoubted fact:
Her lord really just wants to build a big toy now!
Thinking of this, Chrissy couldn't help but sigh deeply.
——As the loyal female subordinate of the lord, what else can she do now besides clapping her hands and saying goodbye?
After a short while.
After the acceptance was completed, Brand stepped off the main body of the ship with a satisfied look on his face.
It must be said that the craftsmen still have some tricks up their sleeves.
Although the main body of the entire ship is not as integrated as the fantasy creation, obvious traces of combination can be seen in many places.
However, judging from the results, except for this difference in details, other aspects including appearance, weight, center of gravity, etc. are almost the same.
The strength and rigidity of the hull material exceeded Brand's expectations!
In this way, Brand can obviously follow the subsequent processing process of the [No. 35] model ship and enlarge it proportionally, and restore it bit by bit on the main body of the real ship!
Thinking of this, Brand did not hesitate and began to explain to the craftsmen the next step of building parts and the subsequent processing of various parts of the hull, and distributed the paper instructions prepared in advance.
After recounting the general process, Brand reminded:
“You don’t need to think about all the precision parts and special paints. I will have them delivered directly in two days.
My only request is that you follow the steps in the instructions and strictly carry out every step.
I hope that the final product will be exactly as I expected. I will reward you accordingly!
If you encounter any difficulties along the way, you can always raise them and I will find a solution.”
After explaining the matter, Brand did not stay here for long.
Kris returned to the castle with a thoughtful look on her face.
Of course, he was not in a hurry to go back to practice.
Instead, he went to the alchemy department in the library tower and found Anna Mars, the library's chief alchemist.
Then I asked a little bit about "ship painting".
There is a difference between a small model and a real ship.
The specific effects of painting on a half-human-high model and painting on a real huge ship obviously cannot be generalized!
So Brand is going to consult professionals who are proficient in alchemy technology regarding this matter.
In addition, there is also the issue of cost.
The ship model is only that big, so using a few precious materials is not a big deal.
But real ships are different.
If all such large ships were made of the same precious materials, even Brand would feel distressed!
After all, this is just an experiment and entertainment in your spare time.
He is not ready to actually build a warship yet!
At this time, after hearing Brand’s needs, he carefully inquired about the purpose of painting and the nature of the need.
Looking at the various paint production processes given by Brand, Anna thought thoughtfully and said:
"Museum owner, these paint production plans of yours are relatively rough. Although the raw materials are precious, they are specific. However, there is a lot of waste in the effect, which is a bit overkill.
So it is easy to reduce the cost while ensuring the effect.
But if it is used on a small scale. The paint on the model was used on a real huge ship
In my opinion, the effectiveness of painting needs to be enhanced to a certain extent in order to ensure similar results in the end.
In addition, ships usually face the erosion of the sea and the elements for a long time, which obviously requires special consideration.
Finally, it’s best to consider confidentiality measures!
Youngster probably wants to try shipbuilding, right?
If the performance of the built ship is too strong, it might be coveted and our technology could be stolen.
We may be able to prepare for technology leaks from the very beginning. ”
Listening to Anna’s professional narration, Brand, who was only half-experienced in alchemy, nodded repeatedly.
——He couldn’t help but look forward to the final result of this shipbuilding project!
...
A few days later, various precision parts of the small sailboat [No. 35] were easily realized by Brand.
Anna also brought the alchemist from the library to successfully produce various paints as needed.
January is here again.
As expected, Viriana once again brought Brand a lot of knowledge about sea-going ship building.
In addition, she also brought many inheritances including necromancer, undead warrior, and magic swordsman!
Although the grade of these inheritances is not high, it is enough to surprise Brand!
——This is the inheritance from the outer continent!
However, Viriana also made a special transaction request this time:
"Mr. Bernard, if possible, I would like to exchange some war supplies."
As soon as these words came out, Brand quickly said curiously:
“You want to fight other forces?”
Viriana nodded and explained:
“Because of the deal with my husband, I have been a little active in the surrounding area in recent months.
I have provoked some beings and some old people. The enemy is jealous.
The outbreak of conflict is a high probability event.
In addition, I also want to take this opportunity to expand the sphere of influence of [Dead Night Tower].
In this way I should be better able to meet Mr. Bernard's various trading needs. "
Hearing this, Brand nodded and said:
"I have many things here that are helpful for the war..."
Speaking of this , after pausing to think for a moment, Brand took out a knight golem wearing exquisite armor from his magic pocket, and then introduced:
"Compared to ordinary spell scrolls and alchemy props, I prefer I recommend this knight golem from the Human Alliance of Farnes Continent that can be used repeatedly.
This is a high-level knight golem that can exert the general combat effectiveness of high-level human knights. If the level of war is not high, they should be of great help..."
Hearing from Brand After a little introduction, I saw this knight demon wielding a sword and raising a shield under Brand's control.
Virianna's eyes couldn't help but become brighter
This senior human knight. In terms of combat power, corresponding to the [Dead Night Tower] under her command, it is already the highest level of combat power besides her!
——As a necromancer, she has more ordinary combat power! , lacks this kind of advanced force!
Just when he was surprised, Brand, who had finished the introduction, suddenly said:
"According to the value of these inheritances you have given me, Ms. Viriana, how about I exchange them for you for ten high-level knight golems?"
As soon as these words came out, Viriana was suddenly startled and said:
"Ten...ten? Mr. Bernard, is this something that can be mass-produced?"
Seeing Veriana's unexpected surprised reaction, after being stunned for a moment, Brand nodded and said:
"Yes, it is true, but don't be too surprised.
They need energy to drive, and the energy consumption is not low.
In addition, their fighting method is a bit rigid.< br>
If it is an enemy that is too flexible, it will be more difficult for them to deal with it.
You need to pay special attention to this. ”
