Chapter 310 The Predicament at Sea
Ships sailing in water and creatures flying in the air are interlinked in many respects.

Da Liang took out the principle that flying in formation of griffins can reduce resistance to solve the problem of resistance encountered by ships sailing, which is completely feasible.

"Right, right, watching griffins fly overhead every day, why didn't I think that their formation flying method can be applied to ship design, and a ship is regarded as a griffin flying formation. A device is installed on the bow of the ship as a flying griffin, and when this device is pushed forward, it will generate a reverse flow." With the phenomenon that can be referred to in reality, it shows that this idea is not whimsical and can be realized .Keith became a little excited, he quickly drew a sketch of a ship on the blackboard, and then added a bulbous bow at the bottom of the bow.

A simple device makes Keith completely immersed in his own world. Lines appear on the blackboard one by one. With a bright vision, he can only guess the function of these lines.

But Da Liang was not in a hurry to add the bulbous bow to the sloop of his own design.

The bulbous bow is only a feasible theory now, and it is not that the addition of the bulbous bow to the ship will definitely increase the speed.Its position, shape, size, and even material need to be accurately calculated, otherwise the reverse flow generated by the addition of a bulbous bow will increase the resistance encountered by the ship.

As for the study of bulbous bows of wooden sail ships, there is probably no better expert in this world than Guice.

The genius of ship design, the speed ship designer sought after by pirates, the old guy who first studied the lateral resistance of ships.

Gies almost has all the conditions for studying bulbous bows.

Therefore, Da Liang does not need or have the ability to study the bulbous bow now. He only needs to wait for Geese to research it, and then teach himself how to design it.

When Gies began to study the bulbous bow, Da Liang suddenly found that the imaginary intense ship design teaching did not appear.However, if Gies did not succeed in the research of the bulbous bow, Da Liang would not be able to carry out the next step in the design of the single-masted warship, and the study of ship design was stuck here.

What are you doing?

The naval battle between the University Alliance and the Lord Alliance is still going on.

Xu Man insisted on the strategy of defending from the south and attacking from the north. With the blueprint of the sloop provided by Da Liang and the financial support of the gold merchants, the Yunxiao Fleet under the University Alliance expanded the number of sloops to more than 500.

A large number of single-masted warships formed a pack of wolves in the sea, and they established a navigation identification isolation zone in the waters from Hangzhou to Shangjiang.All player ships passing north and south, as long as they are not ships designated by Shangjiang and Jinshang, all merchant ships need to pay high sea crossing fees to pass, and all warships are prohibited from sailing.

If you want to pass without spending money, you can only take a detour, but the detour wastes time.

Shangjiang is located in the middle of the coast of China, a key location for north-south circulation. The university alliance seals the sea here, causing players and merchants to complain.

Xu Man explained on behalf of the university alliance.

I can't help it either, the lords are full and want to block me.My merchant ships can't get out, my guild needs to operate, and our hundreds of thousands of players in the college league want to survive, so we can only collect sea fees here.Want to save that money?Yes, let those lords end all hostile actions against the University Alliance and stop malicious attacks on the ships of the University Alliance. We can make money for ourselves, so we don't need to collect sea fees.

Through the offensive of public opinion, the college alliance transferred the conflict between itself and the maritime players to the alliance of lords.

When their own interests were damaged, those sea merchant players who watched the excitement began to target the Lord Alliance.

The reason why the Lords Alliance blocked the University Alliance is because of the competition for gold mines. Now that they have snatched the gold mines, it is a bit deceitful to suppress the University Alliance like this. The most important thing is that this has affected the maritime transactions in China. .

However, the lords didn't hear the voices of the sea merchant players. To these lords, the University Alliance and the Cloud Leader were an anomaly, the lackeys of gold merchants.

In the future, whether the lords can be on an equal footing with gold merchants in terms of finance and economy depends on whether they can defeat the university alliance this time.

"Sometimes the competition in war is patience. Whoever can persist until the last moment will win. In this battle, our supplies are depleting a lot, and the university alliance will only deplete us more. Now they have The support of gold merchants can still hold on, but gold merchants are not philanthropists. When they feel our determination and realize that all their investments in university alliances are in vain, they will stop doing this without any The confrontation of reciprocation is our victory at that time."

Shi Fei strengthened his determination to fight this confrontation for the lords.

No matter how violent those players and sea merchants are, they can only enjoy their mouths. They dare not use force against the powerful alliance of lords, because this ocean will eventually belong to the victorious side, and the force and potential displayed by the lords are all powerful. Much stronger than the college league.

The Overlord Legion continues to provide the lords with low-cost single-masted warship blueprints, and actively organizes fleets to break through the isolation zone established by the University Alliance at sea.

The university alliance did not fully pin its hopes on the public opinion war. While maintaining the navigation identification isolation area on the south side, the Yunxiao Fleet strengthened its offensive against the lords of the Yellow Sea. attack target.

With the formation of the player team, the lords with powerful military power began to gradually disclose the exact location of their territories.A thriving territory can increase the cohesion of guild members, and can also bring commercial returns to investors and attract more investment.

Dongyueling is located in Weihai City, which is located at the intersection of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, near the mouth of the Yellow Sea. It is a city with a very advantageous geographical location. It not only has rich marine resources, but also has great potential inland river resources.

The good location has attracted a large number of investors for Dongyue, and it has also kept the construction of this territory in a world-leading position.

Dongyue Territory has already started the promotion of the fourth-level territory. In terms of territorial development speed in China, it is second only to Taiwan's Sun Moon God Territory, and far lower than Longxing Territory, which has already started the fifth-level territory upgrade. It ranks tied with Liaoning's Tianyu Territory. three.

In the naval battle of Shanghai, Dongyue Ling was the main participant in the attack on the college alliance, and it was also the main target of the college alliance's offensive to the north.

The warships of the two sides frequently clashed in the waters of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. Although there was no large-scale naval battle between them, this small-scale sudden confrontation at sea was more intense.Each fleet has come up with a desperate end, and naval battles often end with one side being completely sunk.
