Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 5 Seaside matters

One night passed quickly, I woke up early in the morning, came to the river, looked at the wide river, and couldn’t cross the river if I tried my best.

turned his head and realized that the place where the camp was set up last night is very suitable for building a seaport. The terrain is flat and it is a natural deep-water harbor. Only a few rectifications are needed to moor the ships.

Ding

A good seaport area was discovered, and the system rewarded one military port, one naval shipyard, and a population of one thousand.

Whether to withdraw the reward

At this time, the system prompt appeared suddenly.

I didn’t expect that the system would give him a surprise at this time. What I didn’t expect was that there would be a population reward, which was really good.

He was planning to build a seaport here, and he was worried about the shortage of manpower, so the system gave him a surprise.

The original plan was to allow the people of Apocalypse City to migrate some, but this is no longer necessary.

The territory has not yet achieved self-sufficiency. Those who are still using stocks for various materials, including food, will not work in the long run.

So he did not go to the refugee camp to recruit the people, because there was not enough food to consume, not to mention that the people who were recruited also had to eat, and it was impossible to be recruited.

And now the 1,000 people rewarded by the system did not consume food and grass, and only needed to provide for the daily necessities of life. He can barely supply it now, no matter how much it is, he can only wait for the harvest in the field.

While he was thinking, the information about whether to extract the reward kept flashing.

After Yang Song confirmed, he saw a white light flashing in front of him, a thousand people appeared in front of him, and a port appeared on the coast not far away. The port was so large that he could not see it at a glance.

There is a dock about one mile away from the river’s estuary. Depending on the number of docks, 12 ships can be built or repaired, as well as related supporting facilities.

The other is a small town connected to the seaport. The house style is not much different from Apocalypse City. It seems that this is solved for him even with the life system.

This system is really considerate.

Arranged these thousand people to live in the small town, and found that these thousand people also live in different houses on a household basis. There are about 300 households in total. The specific data has not yet been counted, and it is still unknown.

After questioning these people, I found that many people actually have shipbuilding experience, that is, shipbuilders. There are about 300 people, and the others are their family members.

It is a pity that there are no construction drawings and materials, otherwise they can build a few ships first, Yang Song thought.

Yang Song asked Zhou Wu to send people back to Apocalypse City, and asked Yang Zhong to send food, and then let the young man among the thousand people go to the nearby woods to cut wood. Available in the tool shipyard.

Specific arrangements will be made after Yang Zhong arrives.

After arrangements are made, he is ready to return to the city.

Ding

As the monarch expanded the territory, rewards: optimized and improved three sailing frigates, 150 officers and soldiers (20 officers).

Yang Song, who was just about to turn around, received a prompt from the system again, and the system gave him another gift package.

After quickly confirming to receive the reward, he put the battleship in the naval port, and the sailors at the naval barracks. The 150-person sailor crew manned the three warships.

hurried to the military port barracks, assembled the soldiers, and prepared to board the ship to have a look.

“Subordinate Li Bao, please refer to the lord, please inform me.” The leader of the sailor stepped forward and saluted Yang Song.

Li Bao? Yang Song ran through his brain quickly, and found that there was no such person with his own knowledge reserve, so he said: “Don’t be polite. Tell me about the current situation.”

“Yes, there are 20 officers including subordinates, 130 sailors, and three sea ships belonging to frigates.” Li Bao led the introduction.

“Each warship is equipped with ten guns, four on each side of the ship, two on the bow, 45 crew members, and 5 officers.”

“Well, good, very good,” Yang Song said, “I order you to be the commander of the navy.”

He thought about it for a while, and continued: “This military port is also under your jurisdiction as a berth. At present, it is mainly responsible for exploring the nearby seas, drawing sea charts, and exploring the enemy’s situation.”

“Thanks to the Lord, the subordinates will fulfill their mission.” Li Baodao.

“Now go and see the battleship.” Yang Song couldn’t wait to see the sailing battleship. I’ve only seen it in movies before.

“Yes, Lord.” Li Bao said that he would complete the sailors and head to the military port.

After listening to Li Bao’s brief introduction, Yang Song opened the system military module on the way to the military port and checked the options of generals. Li Bao’s name was impressively listed, and then looked carefully.

Li Bao, a little-known, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the former Yue Fei general and Wan Yanliang went south, the Southern Song Navy under the command of the former Yue Fei general Li Bao, only 120 battleships and three thousand sailors were in the waters of Chenjia Island (now In the sea area of ​​Jiaoxian County, Shandong Province, it broke the 30,000 navy forces of the Golden Army, annihilated most of the Golden Army with one enemy ten, and burned almost all the warships. Wan Yanliang’s plan to bypass the sea route went bankrupt, and made great contributions to keeping the Southern Song Dynasty.

After reading the introduction of the system, I realized that this is a rare admiral.

Because ancient China has always paid little attention to the navy, such generals with experience in naval battles are actually rare in history.

The military camp is not far from the military port. The military camp was originally a part of the military port. When I came to the wharf, I saw three warships moored at the military port wharf. It was very mighty.

When 　　 walks recently, it feels even more oppressive. It has a beautiful appearance and a sense of lines. There are armors on the outside. If it is not equipped with sails, I think it is an iron-clad ship.

Yang Song walked up to a battleship through the gangway. The deck is very simple and clean. There are three turrets on each side. There is a cannon on the turret. There is a layer of wooden building on the stern. There is armor on the outside. Looking closer, it is not thick, only thin. A thin layer.

Stepping onto the fort, Yang Song stroked the cannon, and when he looked carefully, it was very different from the bronze cannon in the movie. Yang Song didn’t know other places. At least he knew that the material was definitely not bronze, like steel, the barrel. Slender, thick muzzle, the wall is not as thick as expected.

At this time, Li Bao, who was behind him, introduced: “Master, this artillery is a five-tier naval gun. It weighs 1,600 kilograms and has a three-inch muzzle. It can attack targets three miles away. It can crack mountains and crack rocks. Earthshaking.”

Listen to Li Bao’s introduction, and then look at the system introduction:

Optimized and improved sailing warship: It is optimized and improved by combining the advantages of Chinese and Western sea ships. It uses a combination of weight-reducing rigid sails and spinnakers as the power source. Fortune ship’s pointed bottom and square tail design, flying shear ship’s pointed streamline hull , The superstructure of the ship (the superstructure and the hull are integrated), the storage of the treasure ship (the storage layer and the artillery layer are connected by a shaft) and other advantages of various warships. It has good defense, seaworthiness, and operability. The biggest feature is that it requires very few operators. It perfectly balances speed, load, firepower and maneuverability. The disadvantage is that the construction is difficult, the cost is high, and professional equipment and workers are required.

Frigate: 15 meters in length, 3.2 meters in width, full displacement of 260 tons, a superstructure, the hull is divided into 3 layers, the superstructure is used for command and residential use, the open deck is equipped with naval guns, the third is the residential area, and the second is the The storage layer, the bottom layer is the ballast layer. There are 10 five-level naval guns on the open deck. There are 45 crew members and 5 officers.

Shipborne artillery: front-mounted smoothbore gun, flint-engine ignition, fixed-loaded propellant, the types of shells are: solid bullets, blooming bullets, and shot bullets.

Five-tier naval gun: weighs 0.8 tons, has a caliber of 100 mm, and has a range of 1,800 meters. The fifth-class naval gun is assembled by small warships.

After looking at the introduction, he understood why the naval gun had a name of’five-tier’. It was originally assembled by small warships. In other words, there are larger and more powerful warships and guns, but I don’t know what it is. Yes, Yang Song said he was looking forward to it.

The units used in the introduction of the system are all familiar to him. The units used in Li Bao’s introduction are all sizes, which is not easy to understand. Fortunately, there is a system!

And also introduced the reason why such a large battleship has only ten artillery pieces. It turns out that the artillery is very powerful, and the corresponding recoil and space requirements are also large. Loading ten artillery pieces is the optimal result. If you install a few more guns. Planting artillery will affect the service life of battleships.

Each gun has a gun position. The gun is mounted on the gun mount of the gun mount. The gun mount is fixed on the deck. It has a very advanced buffering and retreat mechanism and professional aiming and ranging equipment, which can effectively brake and Shorten the refilling time.

Yang Song was still puzzled about this just now. The sailing artillery battleship in his impression was covered with secret hemp muzzles. Why are there only a few artillery pieces here? It turns out there is a reason. This is to sacrifice a small amount of firepower projection density but enhance the accuracy, rate of fire, range and power!

After admiring the naval guns, I walked into the superstructure and found that the lighting inside was very good. It turned out that the windows were all equipped with glass, and there was a combat command room inside with some incomprehensible instruments, and there was a ship inside. Long lounge.

Walking to the lower level, there are rooms one by one. This level is the sailor’s living level. Below the living level is the storage level. The storage room is full of weapons, ammunition, and living supplies. The bottom is a segmented leak-proof pressurized bottom warehouse.

It seems that the living environment on the battleship is still very good. The storage floor has a shaft that leads directly to the open deck. This is designed to facilitate the transportation of materials, and it is also advantageous to store the materials on the lower floor. The weight of the materials causes the center of gravity of the battleship to move down to increase the stability of the battleship.

The more he looked, the more he discovered the extraordinary features of this warship, and the combat effectiveness revealed in every detail should not be underestimated.

Returning to the upper artillery layer, UU read the book www.uukanshu.com and strolled around after reading the system introduction. Yang Song was already itching in his heart, so he ordered Li Bao to test fire a cannon to see its power.

Li Bao turned around and returned to the command room with a few officers, and ordered the sails to be set sail.

The order was issued, and the sailors got busy, raising sails, anchoring, and turning the rudder.

Following the command of the officer, the sailor started to operate it step by step, feeling very powerful, not knowing it, and letting people know that this is a group of well-trained people.

Apocalypse City’s cavalry, infantry, and current sailors are all trained systematically. Otherwise, at this time, China Land did not have these people and would operate these weapons.

And neither the soldiers nor the common people seem to have any panic or doubt about the magic in front of them, and this is the system’s credit for not running away.

The battleship drove out of the port, and Li Bao ordered to turn toward the river mouth.

After reaching the estuary, the ship did not stop, and again ordered the port ship artillery shells to be loaded. After less than half a minute, the officer reported that the filling was completed, and finally ordered to aim at the huge boulders on the river bank and “fire the cannon.”

“Boom boom boom ”

There was a blast of cannons, and the huge boulders on the bank of the river had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a spot of rubble and craters.

Yang Song was stunned in shock. He didn’t expect that the front-mounted artillery still had such a great power. It was still black powder, which was really unexpected.

Returning to the military port, Yang Song instructed Li Bao to report to him in time if he encountered any situation-he was going back to Apocalypse City.

When 　　 returned to Apocalypse City, it was getting late, so Zhou Wu and the soldiers returned to the barracks for repairs. He will also go back to the mansion to rest-it’s still tiring to live and sleep on the road.

The next day, I came to the residential area, found Yang Zhong, and asked about the scientific investigation.
