During the previous conversation, I learned that she had seen production in the shipyard, but had not seen so many equipment.
In Newbis, the construction methods used in most shipyards are similar to those used to build sailboats, which are relatively primitive. Even in the City of Rudders, the remaining facilities of the previous civilization were mainly used to transport materials. Some of them were used in shipbuilding, but not many.
Here, whenever Leon touched or observed something, the system would constantly remind him and supplement him with the purpose and usage of these devices, indicating that shipbuilding in the real shipyard of the Island Builder could already be semi-automated.
"Neil's Smile" - Dark Yoni (IV) - I'll show you how to use this later. If I need to lead the construction, you can use machinery to help speed up the process greatly. If you know shipbuilding knowledge, it will be even faster."
Li Ang thanked him.
"Wow, I didn't expect it to be so wide."
On the other side, Zoe trotted to the edge of the groove used to suspend the bottom of the ship. Because the Island Builders liked giant buildings, this place was as deep as a small canal.
The girl was like a wild animal, running to the other side with one leap and coming back with another, grinning like a fool, which made Dorothy grin behind her.
"Let's get started."
Zoe ran back to Leon and said, "Bring out our tree."
"No rush, we're already here. In fact, it's already started now."
Li Ang took out a thick stack of design drawings.
These were all things he had taken time to think about since he arrived in the Flashing Wilderness. The space to be used had already been planned out, as had the internal structure. With the shipbuilding knowledge provided by the system, everything went smoothly.
What is lacking now are just some detailed considerations in the outfitting process, because Li Ang is not sure how much supplies he will have on hand after construction begins, and what the situation will be, so he leaves some blank spaces and fills them in when construction begins.
The placement of equipment pipes and partition rooms inside, and the assembly of anchors and rudders outside are all considered part of the outfitting process.
Next to the slipway was a large table and hanging board for displaying design drawings. Leon unfolded these drawings one by one, which immediately attracted the interest of Morales and Neil.
"Did you ask someone to design this?" Xiao Mo asked.
Andasu glanced at him and said, "Master, your knowledge of shipbuilding is profound."
Xiaolang immediately defended Leon, and Morales frowned, looking puzzled.
Leon knew that his old friend's way of addressing Andasu was related to how he had mastered this knowledge over the years, but he had learned to play dead for things he couldn't explain.
Farina smiled and said, "Are you stupid? It's okay. I've been surprised too. There will be many more opportunities like this in the future."
"What do you mean? It sounds like there's a lot I don't know."
Morales patted Leon's shoulder with a heavy expression. "It seems you've really crammed a lot of material for the Soul Apex. Ramsay is such a beast."
Li Ang secretly glanced at Meluna who was silent beside him. At this time, he was somewhat relieved that this guy was not in a good state, otherwise he would be exposed with just a few words.
After finishing his tasks, he devoted most of his time to her.
"Let's take a look at the blueprint first. Let's all discuss it together. I plan to add details as I build it."
The length, width, depth and empty tonnage of the vessel have already been determined. These data are related to the position and power of the engines, as well as the size and efficiency of the suspension devices, and are the first things to be considered.
"These drawings are so standard, they're almost like templates."
Neil looked at Leon with confusion and a little admiration.
Leon still pretended not to sense the other party's attitude and emotions. He knew that he did not look like a ship designer.
Andasu stood with her ears erect, immersed in appreciating the neat lines on the drawing, carefully reading the notes, and her big tail swaying from side to side.
Except for Andasu, the other girls traveling with her were basically in the dark. They couldn't tell what the ship was, but they knew how big it was.
"81 meters long, 23 meters wide... Huh? How come it's less than a hundred meters?" said Dorothy.
"It's just a little bit off. One hundred meters is a lot," Leon said. "We are a small air cavalry regiment. A large ship would be difficult to maintain, and we don't need a large ship for air combat."
In Newbis, the so-called air combat is fighting against aerial monsters. Occasionally, there will be strange facilities in ancient ruins. Even when fighting against other ships, the more important thing is the strength of the ship rather than its size. Otherwise, it will be closer to the target. This is what he said to them, and he reiterated it here.
Just like the ancient ships in this space, the actual creations have different distances from the usual ones. Even if the data is the same, there is a huge difference when put together.
This ancient ship is over 300 meters long, and its data rivals that of Earth's aircraft carriers. Standing in front of it, humans will feel as small as ants.
In many cases, eighty meters is considered a giant ship, and one hundred meters is the upper limit of the main ships of the group. If it is larger, it will not only be too expensive, but also have disadvantages when facing giant monsters.
If Leon didn't need a workshop, a monster breeding ground and other places on the boat, so that it could provide spacious living space while also meeting their swimming pool requirements, he would have wanted to make the boat smaller.
After unfolding the structure and overview map, the next thing to be shown is the specific internal structure, involving the division of space and the size of each room.
"If you have no objection, then just follow this." Li Ang said.
The girls could understand this part and were very interested in it, so they all came over.
"This is the activity room, this is the training room..."
He pointed out the monster breeding grounds, workshops, kitchens, large bathrooms, member rooms, and leader's office one by one. As for the warehouse and pipeline control area, they were not allowed to talk about them.
"Is it really true that we still can't have a private bathroom?" asked Alulu.
Due to her physical condition, she was sweating again right after breakfast in the morning. However, the water property of the blue crystal armor cooled her down, making her skin look just wet instead of like she had been rained on.
According to Li Ang's understanding of her, when she lived in Leishan Church in the past, she would train regularly. The same was true for Zoe.
During the journey, even if they found time to practice, they practiced very little. Once they had their own boat, they would definitely return to a regular state, so they would have the need to bathe regularly.
On the other hand, there is no need to say much about conceited people like Dorothy.
Of course, a private room with a bathroom is the most convenient and comfortable.
They all looked at Li Ang with resentment on their faces, and the latter shrugged: "It's not what I want. Let's not talk about this."
"But we have the Quentin rudders?" Dorothy said.
"Didn't I tell you that this is a combat ship?"
"We have the God of Weapons." Zoe suddenly looked like she had a good memory and mentioned Alafia's car.
As the number one heir of the weapon race, the Alma family will of course equip her with the best conditions, and the entire ship is like her palace.
"The cost is also dozens of times higher." Li Ang sighed.
Falina picked up a blueprint and explained, "Look, this is a cross-section of the ship's hull. Most of the space is reserved for the magic pipeline, so that the entire hull can be shielded."
The red-haired witch pointed at some of the pipes and said, "Some of the water pipes must also be supplied to the kitchen and the lounge area. If the lounge area is not needed, the rooms might be considered, but that was also your suggestion."
The so-called rest area actually consists of a large swimming pool. However, Leon didn't want to be stared at strangely by Xiao Mo or Neil, whom he didn't know very well. Farina also understood this and didn't say it explicitly.
"The water pipes are still in a protected area, and they separate domestic water and sewage. If there are too many of these pipes and they have to be placed on the outer layer, then if the hull is damaged, the dirty water will also--"
"I know, I know."
Dorothy didn't want to imagine the scene of sewage flowing everywhere, so she sighed resignedly.
Farina chuckled and said, "As a combat ship, the facilities it's equipped with are already very good."
Neil nodded and continued, "Honestly, at first glance, I really thought it was a structure planned by a master engineer. These spaces have been used to the utmost. Any more might cause an imbalance and affect the function of the ship, but they all complement each other very well."
He was mainly referring to public bathrooms that are not very spacious, because there are soaking areas and they also need sufficient water supply and drainage facilities.
"I've never seen such a large activity area and bathroom on a combat ship, ever," Neil exclaimed.
Farina looked at Xiao Mo, then said to Leon, "Remember that time in Ignis airspace?"
"Which time? Oh, that time." Xiao Mo immediately realized what she said and said, "That time." Li Ang also had a bitter look on his face.
"What?" Zoe asked with interest.
Xiao Mo shook his fist fiercely. "We listened to that bastard Weir, and then we encountered a monster migration. The ship lost power and floated in the air for many days. I was almost frozen by the time I got off the ship."
Li Ang said: "The drainage pipes were already damaged, and the water tanks were contaminated. Not only was there a water shortage on the entire ship, but it was also filled with stench."
Xiao Mo laughed. "At first, we disliked each other, but then we got used to it. We continued our lives complaining about each other, until our noses stopped working. Whenever we saw a passing ship, they'd look at us strangely when they tried to help us. When we got off the ship, the entire harbor, wherever we went, the troops would retreat."
"Oh?" Aqua suddenly snorted.
The water dragon, who had not followed and had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared, scaring the people around her, especially Neil, who had never seen her power. He was full of disbelief and began to doubt his eyes.
Not knowing what this difficult deity was thinking, Leon ignored her and added, "At that time, they also said that it would be better if we were in the airspace of Sabrum. The air would not be so humid, and perhaps it would be better."
Farina smiled: "In the Sand Sky, there may not be a today."
"Ah? Is it that serious? Will he die?" Zoe asked with wide eyes.
"Yes."
"Doesn't that mean I almost won't be able to see Leon?"
The kitten suddenly jumped onto Leon and said, "Then forget it. Let's just make the boat the strongest one possible."
Aunt Farina smiled at the girl. "I didn't think these requests could be fulfilled at first. Most combat ships can only handle simple urination and defecation. If we come across an island with water, we can go down to rest. Where are the bathrooms?"
After discussing for a while how to start construction, Leon tore open the dimensional rift and took out the precious wood for shipbuilding.
During the time in the rift, perhaps because of being close to the magical dimension, these shipbuilding precious trees rapidly grew many branches, so many that they could be used as small timbers without having to be cut from the trunk itself.
"Wow, your materials are all top-notch."
Neil walked around the tree trunk and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to seeing your ship."
As an engineer proficient in shipbuilding, he naturally feels happy when seeing a good ship being born.
"Have you thought of a name?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Not yet." Li Ang sighed.
When I saw the names of other groups’ boats in the past, I either complained or agreed with them. I had a lot of inspiration at that time, but when it came to my own boat, I was completely stuck.
The flagship of the Feast of the Gods is called Shenfeng, the flagship of Wandering in the Clouds is called Tianxiang, the flagship of Glory Supremacy is called the Inscribed Ship, and the flagship of the Super Luck Group is called "Guaranteed Divine Equipment".
What should we call the Star Flower Brigade?
"Think about it slowly."
As Leon spoke, he began to mobilize his magic power. Under Neil's explanation and systematic explanation, he drove the equipment around the slipway and slowly lifted the precious wood for shipbuilding.
The girls who had been looking forward to this moment for a long time cheered, and then, inspired by Farina's emotional applause, they followed suit and even laughed along.
Although these troubled girls often cause headaches, they also deserve a space that belongs entirely to them, a place that embodies the meaning of "home" in their ill-fated lives.
Li Ang will probably never forget the trembling eyelashes and watery eyes at this moment.
The machine operates with precision, meticulously cutting out long and tough wood, which will serve as the most critical keel of the ship.
A magic circle must be placed on the keel to stabilize it, and there is also room for later reinforcement. It cannot be taken lightly, as it is enough to affect the most basic combat capability of the ship.
Li Ang was thinking about how to do it, and Xiao Mo clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you guys get busy. I'm going to investigate on the ground."
303. Shipyard Defense
"Investigate? Investigate what's inside those shipyards?" Li Ang looked at Xiao Mo.
His tone was questioning, but it was really just a statement, indicating that he cared about his old friend's whereabouts.
"Yes, some of my people are still trapped in it."
The person Morales was talking about was also a member of the Super Luck Group, but he was not the main force of the group. He was stationed in the Helm City to assist with some things.
"Uncle Locke also wants to find out what the several shipyards headed by Kongyan Shipyard are doing, so he will try to sneak in to investigate regularly. After I hide here, I will lead them to take the lead." Xiao Mo added.
"Those are the people who caused the commotion in the restaurant earlier, right?"
"Yes, they are all good ones."
Leon glanced back at the wood being cut according to the blueprint but not yet assembled into the basic hull. Neil, who was standing beside him, immediately said, "If you want to go with Morales, I'll take care of this."
The young engineer was the first to point out what Li Ang might be worried about.
His original plan was to hand over the work to the shipyard after arriving at the Rudder City, only inspecting the key links, and usually taking the girls for a walk and practicing.
But the actual situation was beyond expectations. Although the Island Builder's equipment was easy to use, Leon was also thinking, is it not possible to control the equipment throughout the whole process?
Neil was obviously quite smart and could see some clues.
Of course, Shadow Factory also had this attitude. The reason they helped the Star Flower Brigade was because they had to stand on the side that was beneficial to Shadow Factory. Now Neil only took over the repetitive work, allowing Leon's combat power to be used in more important places.
Through Morales, they also knew that this was a 9th-level Sky Knight.
"Having me here is enough." said Andasu.
"Wood alone is not enough to build a ship," said Li Ang.
Many equipment and material purchases that do not require personal effort are planned to be handed over to the shipyard. Now, I have to ask Neil for help.
"No problem, I'll take care of these, and this girl with animal ears will control the equipment. You'll be happier if you build your own ship." Neil said with a smile.
Li Ang thanked the young man and said to Xiao Mo, "Then I'll go with you."
No matter what the Empire and Soul Peak are doing, things over there cannot be neglected.
