This sentence continued to echo in Roland's ears until the way to the backyard of Beiposhan.
He felt a gap in his heart was opened little by little. Yes, he thought that he was no longer the cartographer who dealt with mechanical drawings all day long, and this was no longer the world he was familiar with in the past. He has now gradually become a great lord who commanded one side, and may even become the ruler of the kingdom in the future. When the situation changes, it is undoubtedly no longer applicable to using the previous concepts to bind himself.
Just follow the thoughts deep in your heart. He told himself that if you force each other for some false regulations, there will be no benefit except hurting both parties.
Thinking of this, Roland's mood suddenly became much brighter. He took a deep breath of the cold air and slowly pushed open the backyard door.
The opened iron door was like a gap in my heart, and a new world was opened in an instant.
Ah… It was His Highness, Hummingbird and Lucia ran up to salute.
You are here?Anna showed a sweet smile. Seeing a light red mark on her fair neck, Roland couldn't help but remember the other party's passion last night, but since he made the decision, he no longer cared about the last moment of waiting.
How about it, have the model been made?
Of course, Anna made a gesture to me, and the two walked out of the back door of the yard and saw an iron ship floating in the middle of a pool surrounded by snow.
The iron ship is about one meter long and about twenty centimeters wide, which is much longer than those of the crude benzene cement ships.
The bow of the ship is in a clear futon shape, and the rear end is flat tail. The most special thing is that the bottom of the ship is covered with crisscrossing support strips, which look like countless squares are spliced together.
This is what I want, Roland sighed. Compared with the stone boats made of steel and concrete, pure steel boats have a unique sense of exquisiteness, especially when paired with dense interlaced beams, it looks like a work of art.
He knew that each module of this ship model was completely cut from black fire after being reduced in proportion, and no connection point was omitted. If it were placed in later generations, it would be a fine product worth tens of thousands.
Is it the new ship you want to build?
Well, he nodded, it was also the first regular warship in the town.
Originally, Roland planned to still use cement ships as the hull of shallow water heavy gunboats, but he found that when the steam engine is insufficient, the speed of cement ships has become the most significant disadvantage. With only fuel and personnel, the average speed of the entire fleet of Changge Fortress this time was only eight to nine kilometers. If it was also equipped with a rotatable 152mm fortress cannon, plus essential ammunition and other combat weapons, the speed would likely fall below the five-kilometer mark.
If converted into a joint, even the speed of three joints cannot be guaranteed.
The reason is that the concrete weighs too much. If it is used for transportation, it doesn’t care about the speed. But as a warship, it’s better to be more brisk.
If the steel production capacity was severely insufficient two months ago, he could only accept it even more slowly. However, with the Steel Star entering production, today's steel reserves can support him in building a real iron-armored warship.
In terms of structure, Roland chose the simplest module assembly type, which is to weld the steel plates with horizontal beams to form a larger hollow box structure, and then splice many flat boxes together to form the hull base plate.
This building block-style shipbuilding method does not require a keel, and it has nothing to do with the classical method. In addition, the enemy does not threaten his own artillery at all, so he does not need to pay attention to defense issues. The side side is almost surrounded by thin iron, minimizing cost and weight.
As for the power part, Roland decided to put propeller technology on the new ship, rather than paddle wheel drive of cement ships... The power unit is still a steam engine that drives two propellers by turning gears.
However, in the design drawings handed over to Anna, he reserved room for modification of the three-swell steam engine, and planned to wait until the batch construction is completed in the future and then uniformly modify it into a new steam engine that is more suitable for ship use.
Back at the yard, Anna began cutting the first steel plate.
The black fire was like the most accurate ruler in her hand. As she flew up and down, a thick steel block of one meter square instantly turned into seven or eight thin plates like peeled potatoes. The thickness of each steel plate was five millimeters, not more than a minute or less.
Next is welding. Hummingbird placed the weight-reducing steel beam and placed it between two steel plates. Anna's black cremation turned into thin filaments that were stuck in the naked eye and penetrated into the bottom of the beam, tied the three together like a suture. At the same time, the temperature was raised completely different from the initial open flame welding. This inner-to-out heating can allow the flowing steel to completely fill the gap between the plates. When the three are completely combined, the longitudinal beam has slightly sinking by about a millimeter, which is proof that the bottom of the steel plates is filled with the gap between the two steel plates after it melts.
An interlaced cross-shaped horizontal beam can connect four steel plates, while more cross beams form a hollow box unit. These units will be transported to the Chishui River after being weight-reduced by hummingbirds and completed the final assembly process in the dock.
Roland's eyes remained on the busy figure of Anna. The girl's long flax hair swung back and forth with the cutting movements. In the pure white snow scene, she seemed like a dancing elf.
……
In the afternoon, Roland met the newly awakened witch, Asha.
She was able to appear in the office, which means she had passed the Nightingale's review.
Wendy had recorded her strange abilities very clearly, so Roland did not do more tests, but instead placed the contract in front of her directly.
Asa picked up the pen and stiffened for a while before she said blushing, "I... can't write."
It's okay, Roland smiled, and it's okay to press your handprint.
She carefully pressed her ink-stained thumb to the end of the parchment, so that's it?
Well, Roland has put the contract in hand, I have learned about your situation from Wendy, so even if you sign the contract, you don't have to live in the castle.Just come here every day to practice your abilities and listen to the lectures. Wendy must have told you about the characteristics of magic these days, right?
Yes, Your Highness, when he heard that there was no need to stay in the castle, Asha's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. Lord Wendy said that if he did not release the magic power accumulated every day, his life would be in danger by the day of awakening.
That's right, so you have to practice well. I think she will teach you the relationship between the precise manipulation of magic and the corresponding ability. Roland did not correct the respect from the other party. Maintaining awe is not a bad thing for beginners. If you don't understand anything, you can ask any member of the Witch Alliance for advice.
I understand, Your Highness, she lowered her head and said, but... is this ability of no use?I had asked Lord Wendy this question, but she said that only His Highness knows the answer.
Of course not, Roland smiled and said, "You are the ability that only famous detectives have, and you are invincible in fighting crime."
Name...detective?Axia looked confused.
It doesn't matter, it won't take long to know that he called out the Nightingale in the fog. From today on, this witch will be your immediate boss.
