The workshop owner of the small dock in Trinidad Port, retired Spanish shipbuilder Oren, once gave him two golden drawings. [No pop-up novel website] One of them requires carpentry skill level 40, and then he revealed the manufacturing method of "Azure Canvas". The other one requires carpentry skill level 60, but his current carpentry skill level is fixed at 43... The interpretation of this drawing is far away.
Because the main god cannot affect Shipwreck Island, no matter how hard Lu Yuan works here, the level of carpentry will not improve even a little bit.
Putting away the drawings, Lu Yuan could only continue to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the ship. Looking forward to this blueprint is more meaningful than looking forward to the golden treasure chest of the big octopus... Lu Yuan simply kept this in the back of his mind.
Just like Oren, every true master of shipbuilding has his own unique secret.
Although Henrik Van Dyke is both vulgar and greedy, there is no doubt about his professionalism. After being trapped on Shipwreck Island for twenty years, he created a method to "enhance" ordinary ships into magic ships. Because the materials used to make the magic ship are all extremely precious, it is impossible to find them even in a treasure gathering place like Shipwreck Island. If you just use ordinary materials, no matter how high the technology or the best the drawings are, the strengthening effect will be limited, and it can only reach the lowest level of "Bronze".
Is it worth spending 1.4 million pesos, a lot of magic materials and a few days of critical time for a few inconspicuous attributes?
Of course it’s worth it, even necessary! Because what Lu Yuan and Henrik Van Dyke valued was not the enhanced attributes, but the subsidiary effect of the process of strengthening the magic ship - the ship's renovation.
The materials to strengthen the "San Gabriel" have already been loaded onto the ship. They are just waiting for them to complete the improvement work on the ship and then upgrade it on this basis. Because the basic attributes and upgraded attributes are closely related, Lu Yuan and the old shipbuilder tried their best to do their best! In this regard, Henrik Van Dijk did not cut corners.
The remaining supplies needed to go to sea were temporarily piled on the deck of "St. Augustus".
"Who prepared the water?!" When I checked here, I looked at the large wooden barrels stacked on top of each other. Lu Yuan frowned and shouted loudly.
Store owner Eric Yost ran over and said, "I prepared it. Is there something wrong with the water quality? I'll ask them to replace it right away!" In fact, it's not necessary. It's raining heavily. Just pour out the water and it will be done in a short time. Then cover it and allow it to settle for a few days, and the water will be ready for drinking.
Of course, not at sea. Because once a tornado blows, the rainwater on the sea will turn into salt water, and any act of collecting rainwater will be in vain.
"No, there is no problem with water, but is clean water on my list?!" Lu Yuan stretched out the list in front of him.
"What are you talking about? It's not on the list, but I thought you missed it... How can you go to sea without fresh water? Are you crazy?" When he understood what Lu Yuan meant, Eric Yost couldn't help but shout loudly questioned. This is simply too difficult to understand.
Many people stopped around. Looking here, after all, the issue of fresh water is related to the lives of everyone on the ship.
Lu Yuan was too lazy to explain. Without saying a word, he kicked over a bucket of fresh water and poured the water on the deck. After emptying. He ordered two sailors to bring up a bucket full of sea water.
When the clear sea water was placed in front of Lu Yuan, he took out a transparent glass bottle and dropped a drop of liquid into it. In the blink of an eye, a layer of crystal particles separated from the bottom of the barrel. Products from all over the world can be found on the shipwreck island. Lu Yuan finally collected all the raw materials and formulated a potion to purify the sea water. The effect is even better than what Mu Xing originally provided.
"It's salt!" someone shouted excitedly.
When five minutes passed, Lu Yuan scooped up a bowl of "sea water" with a wooden bowl in the bucket and drank it without frowning! Then he handed it to Eric Yost.
He scooped up a bowl of "sea water" in surprise. After he gritted his teeth and drank it, he couldn't help but said in despair, "It's fresh water!"
The sailors were in chaos. Then everyone rushed to pick up the wooden bowl and drink the "sea water" in the bucket. "It's Tamsui! It's Tamsui!" spread more and more, and everyone looked at Lu Yuan with awe. In the age of great navigation, it had the ability to turn seawater into fresh water, so crew members would not die from lack of water. This is a feat worthy of a miracle.
"We don't need to carry fresh water, throw these away and replace them with more valuable things!" Lu Yuan ordered loudly, and the sailors agreed excitedly. He immediately said to Eric Yost, "I don't need people who make their own decisions. You can be a logistics assistant from now on."
Of course, a disobedient person cannot hold the position of "logistics officer" who manages the captain's money bag.
Day five.
The tearing wind is getting more violent, and the heavy rain clouds are almost pressing to the top of the head. Everything indicates that a huge shipwreck is about to come!
"The water is rising too fast!" John Workman came behind Lu Yuan and reported. He was the first adjutant to form a tacit understanding with Lu Yuan. Of course, what was unexpected was that the second one to form a tacit understanding was actually Father Padley Angel.
When John reported, the water surface was already visibly close to the deck of the "St. Augustus", but there were still mountains of supplies still piled there. Less than half of the suspension bridge connecting the shipwreck city has been submerged. Now most of the residents are standing on "St. Augustus", shivering in the heavy rain. Only Father Padley Angel is comforting them one by one.
"Then let's get started!" Lu Yuan said to the shipbuilder Henrik Van Dyke.
Although the current "San Gabriel" is covered with various "patches", she has been completely transformed - whether it is the wheel rudder, pulley block, new water pumping tools, or Lu Yuan's persistent bottom warehouse triangle The construction of the brackets has been completed. Not only that, the tilt of the ship's hull has also been corrected bit by bit with the efforts of all residents and using crowbars. Now it is basically level, standing like an eagle on the top of the island.
Henrik Van Dyke took out a silver reinforcement blueprint and boarded the "San Gabriel" cruiser alone. Now all the supplies are piled in the captain's cabin, and the required money is in the bottom warehouse, and the preparations for the upgrade are ready.
Lu Yuan, John Workman and nearly a hundred people stood at the bottom of the hill, looking at the already very good ship.
After a while, the crowd began to exclaim, and then it turned into shouts of joy! Even Lu Yuan clenched his fist fiercely and waved it vigorously. I saw that the impressionistic-looking cruiser began to emit a silvery white light. Even the storm that covers the sky cannot cover it!
Immediately, the ships underwent miraculous transformations one after another!
The rusty cannon became as shiny as new; the old wood seemed to have just been taken out of the workshop, and it was smeared with clear oil; just a moment ago in the strong wind, it looked like a mast that was about to break, but now it is as straight as an iron pillar; Even the paint on the hull shimmered with a moist feeling that had not yet dried - a side effect of the magic strengthening. "Ship renovation", this moment triggered a miraculous effect.
In less than six hours, the entire ship looked like a new ship that had just left the shipyard and was about to be launched!
"Mr. Captain, please name the new ship!" A tired Henrik Van Dyke appeared in front of everyone again and said to Lu Yuan respectfully.
"Elona!" Lu Yuan looked at the new ship without blinking and said directly.
"Elona? Is that the name of your lover? This is a super three-star, extremely powerful battleship! What do you think of calling it 'War Dog'?" Henrik Van Dyke couldn't accept that he built it himself. The battleship was actually named after a woman, and it wasn’t even a famous woman’s name like the Queen!
"Believe me, call it Alona. She will bring us good luck! I love this name so much!"
Yes, he felt that he fell in love with this boat from the first sight. It felt like the first time I met Nana! Flattery, nothing happened when you first met Nana, right?
This is a three-sail, three-mast super cruiser. In addition to possessing the characteristics of high speed and strong firepower of a three-star cruiser, it is also comparable to two-star ships in all aspects of performance, so it is judged as a super three-star ship.
The hull of the "Elona" is 37 meters long and 8 meters wide. The long and narrow hull is in the shape of a shuttle. Black and white lines are used on the outside of the hull to indicate the deck markings and waterline. This ship has four decks. Some calculations of the number of decks do not include the bilge bin. This article has simplified it. Including the bottom warehouse, from top to bottom they are the open deck, gun deck, lower deck and bottom warehouse.
The entire ship can be equipped with forty 32-pound guns! Among them, the open deck is configured with two cannons at the front and rear, and four cannons at the left and right, for a total of twelve cannons. The second gun deck is equipped with artillery, the adjutant's room and the captain's room, with fourteen guns on the left and right. Twenty-eight cannons in total!
Important cabins on the third deck include the mess hall, sailor's cabin, carpentry room, church/hospital, etc.
The bilge compartment was completely filled with cargo and ballast.
The forecastle and stern are completely eliminated from the hull, and the open deck adopts a slightly warped straight deck design, the traditional British method.

Cruiser: "Elona"
Cruiser is used to describe a small, fast battleship suitable for a variety of roles. Cruisers generally do not fight with ships such as battleships and frigates, nor do they participate in fleet decisive battles. They are mainly used for escorting commercial fleets and hunting pirates.
This super cruiser was jointly designed by Henrik Van Dyck and Lu Yuan. It is a ship that has been slightly strengthened by magic. The hull structure and wind and wave resistance have been improved to a certain extent, and Henrik Van Dyke's design of the diving boat has also been reflected accordingly.
Super three-star cruiser, bronze-level magic ship.
Captain: Lu Yuan
Hull durability: 5400/5400, sail durability: 200/200, sailing speed: 21.93 knots minimum speed + 1 knot, steering maneuver: 70.91, wind efficiency: 6.50, load capacity: 175/197 tons, crew: 214/464 Men, firepower configuration: forty 32-pound cannons
Attributes:
The hull is strong, and its resistance to blows and wind and waves is increased by 20.
With good sealing, even if the boat is briefly submerged in water, it will not cause backflow.
——————
The hull is strong and the firepower is fierce. This is an excellent warship that can win even if it stops and engages in a bombardment with a frigate!
What's even more valuable is that she possesses the speed and high mobility that Lu Yuan has always favored. The top speed of the "Elona" is comparable to that of the "Blue Bird", and its strongest point is its flexibility of up to 70+. Under Lu Yuan's control, it can become a dolphin!
The only flaw is that the 32-pound guns deployed on both sides of the open deck have a center of gravity too high, and firing from the guns on both sides will cause the ship to sway laterally. However, these cannons will be unloaded on the way through the storm and loaded into the bottom warehouse as ballast. They will not be used on this journey.
In the future, this position will be replaced with lighter 24-pound guns, six on each side.
In fact, in order to load more money and goods, Lu Yuan did not even carry a single cannonball or a barrel of gunpowder except for the one already loaded in the barrel... He was an extreme miser! God knows what Lu Yuan would do if the loaded round in the barrel failed and they encountered pirates again...
When night fell, everyone and supplies boarded the "Elona".
Listening to the thunder and lightning that rings in the distance from time to time, those who can't sleep can only pray silently...
At this time, all that's left is waiting.
On the dark stern of the ship, Lu Yuan gently pressed his hands on the brand-new wheel rudder, and a feeling of becoming one with the ship came to his heart.
Caribbean, my enemy, my friend...are you ready?
At this moment, Cory Busso no longer paid attention to him.
