Chapter 651 (1/2)
”Can you play this special?”
Don wants to lift the table. Without him, the effect of hydrodynamic magic engine on warship is too good. It's too good!
At the beginning, he only considered the insufficient speed of the warship, so he simplified all kinds of additional equipment on the warship as much as possible, and even the protective armor was planned to be realized by magic shield, which greatly reduced the weight of the warship, but he didn't expect that the final result was that the speed was too fast!
And this is not the empty speed, but the speed after being filled with supplies and ammunition!
After returning from the first voyage, the old sailors were scared and vomited after getting off the ship. Even they couldn't stand the high-speed, let alone the new Rangers recruited by Donne.
The sea condition is different from the land condition. The sea condition is too complex. Turbulence, undercurrent, ocean current, monsoon, seabed terrain and so on will affect the ship. The ship speed soars to 180 km / h. This is not high performance. It is fatal!
It's good to sail so fast in a calm day, but if you drive so fast in strong winds and waves, the ship will be destroyed and people will die in minutes. What a fart!
At that speed, if the ship wants to turn and the angle is a little larger, the people on the deck will be thrown out by inertia. If the people in the cabin can't get well, it's good to stick on the wall. If you're unlucky, you can directly GG when your head is thrown to the convex place.
Therefore, the speed must be reduced. The speed must be reduced to at least 120 kilometers per hour, that is, about 66 knots, which is barely a safe value!
Why not use kilometers? The answer is - because it's easy! Anyway, there is no old tradition of navigation on earth. The crew also worship the goddess of water Anita Lyle or the God of wind icardis. There is no special tradition. It can be used in kilometers per hour.
Even if it is 120 kilometers per hour, this kind of sailing speed is very great. After all, there are too many emergencies at sea than on land or in the air.
Down, down, down!
Donne immediately started to reduce the speed of the engine. Fortunately, this kind of work only needs to adjust the upper limit of the magic output of the magic array. There is no need to move any big projects, so it won't take too long.
However, Donne did not completely limit the engine. He redesigned the speed range. Below 60 km / h is the low-speed safety cruise speed, 60-80 is the green standard cruise speed, 80-100 is the Yellow high-speed cruise speed, 100-120 is the red emergency avoidance speed, and at 120-160, it is limited by a separate small magic array, Under normal circumstances, this speed cannot be activated. Only when the captain presses the button in the hiding place can the extreme speed soar to the sky be unlocked. As for the use... I'm afraid it's only a matter of life and death to escape.
It took Donne an hour to readjust the engines of 16 warships, and then conducted the second armed test again. This time, the Old Navy and the newly recruited Rangers need to be on the warships. Danny and others who have personally operated those weapons will teach these people hand-in-hand.
Although ordinary crew members are not required to operate weapons at ordinary times, if dangerous situations occur, such as Rangers encounter accidents and no one else is available, they must also stand up, so they still need to know the necessary operation knowledge.
In the next half month, these Rangers and the soldiers supported by Donne must stay on the warship to adapt to the next sea war.
Seeing the fleet carrying the soldiers out of the port, Donne turned back to deal with the rest of FILA's Shipyard.
Like wages.
Donne promised that these people would double their bonus every day in advance. Unfortunately, no matter how cunning the employees are, they can't count as the boss. They worked hard to finish the task in the evening of 14 days. Now a group of people are sitting there waiting for Donne to settle their wages.
Even Bismarck hood, the original head of the shipyard, stared and waited. Although he was not poor, he didn't want to miss such a sum of money.
”Have you finished?”
”It has been calculated.”
Fiona raised her head, said something expressionless, and then confirmed it again: ”are you sure you want to do this? You know, your word will cost us double our salary.”
Originally, according to the agreement with Donne, these people didn't complete the task ahead of time, and their salary was only 1000 gold coins, but Donne felt that they worked very hard and should be rewarded, so everyone added an additional 1000 gold coins.
The 1165 people in the shipyard, together with 246 technicians supported by Ellington, each received a bonus of 2000 gold coins, which means that Donne will spend 2.82 million gold coins this time.
”Money is not the most important thing for us, is it?”
Donne stood up and said very innocently, ”what's more, because of their efforts, we can successfully complete the task, so don't let the supporters believe that our people are cold hearted, dear Fiona.”
Donne immediately captured Fiona in the ruthless mode with a dear word. Her face turned slightly red, and then muttered, ”forget it, just be happy.”
Fiona came out with Donne with her book, and her face returned to a rigid and ruthless look. This is a good disguise, which makes people who want to get close to her and sympathize with her feel that she is impeccable.
”Ladies and gentlemen, let us know one thing before we pay.”
Fiona's indifferent voice clearly spread to everyone's ears: ”before the commencement, your majesty and you reached an agreement that the bonus can be doubled for each day's completion ahead of schedule. Now it seems that even if you solicited a lot of support, you didn't complete this agreement, so according to the contract, everyone present can only get a salary of 1000 gold coins.”
The workers standing under the stage were very depressed, but they were speechless and had no choice. It was really that they failed to complete the agreement, not his Majesty's default.
