Chapter 175 Touring Their Ship
Hai Bo, who was writing something on the huge wooden table, looked up and smiled at the people who suddenly came to visit him.
"You're back now. I see you're not missing any limbs. It's a bit of a pity."
He still remembered the mean look on Alka's face when he discussed with him before. He had never met such a picky client.
Alka smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
However, Haibo also knew why they came at this time, so he said directly without too much greeting:
"You seem a little impatient. Well, we will go and see your new ship right away."
After saying that, Hai Blog immediately led everyone to the shipyard below, and soon they arrived at the place where Alka's ship was built, next to the shipyard.
It is naturally impossible to put a ship like this that has already been manufactured in a shipyard, as it would take up a lot of space.
And you can see a lot of brand new ships around, parked everywhere, waiting for their owners.
As soon as I got down, I saw a ship covered by a huge black curtain. The ship was docked on the island's ship track, which connected all the way to the shore.
You only need to push the boat over when needed, and it can be easily launched into the sea automatically.
It does not require too much manpower to expand.
This equipment is a must for large shipyards, and even many large ports and commercial ports have such tracks.
For example, the Cathedral's port has this thing, which is specially used by those who need to moor their boats for a long time.
Hai Blog took them to the bottom of the huge ship, then waved his hand and directed the workers to tear down the huge curtain, revealing the true appearance underneath.
Under the sun, everyone looked.
The hull is a very pure wooden structure, but it is definitely not ordinary wood, and the texture on it clearly shows it all.
Moreover, ordinary wood is not qualified to carry the spell.
The entire appearance of the ship is in very original colors, with only protective paint and plating applied, and no other coating or coloring.
In addition, the bow, stern and the entire exposed frames of the ship have been replaced with steel metal shells, which can effectively stabilize the structure of the ship.
The whole hull is beautifully streamlined, with a very low forecastle and only one-story stern, so as to reduce wind resistance when sailing.
There are three huge masts on the hull, and on the main mast in the middle is a semicircular watchtower, which is almost the size of a room.
This looks like a mushroom house.
The most eye-catching thing is the sculpture on the stern.
The statue is some kind of huge bird-like head. The whole bird's head looks a little unreal, a bit like a fairy tale.
The bird has two golden feathers like eyebrows running down its sides. Its entire head is white, and a pair of golden spiral horns extend from both sides of its head.
Behind the statue, there is an opening that looks like a trumpet, which is surrounded by feathers, and the statue is in the middle of this trumpet.
It is said that this animal has a prototype, and legend has it that every time it flies through the sky, a beautiful sound like music is heard.
Cleansing people's hearts brings them courage and soothes the sadness and fear in their hearts.
In this world, it is synonymous with music and has a very positive image.
The sails were folded up, but all that could be seen were ordinary white sails. As for what kind of paint to put on them, it was up to Alka and the others.
The entire ship no longer bears any trace of its previous appearance. It looks like a completely new ship compared to its previous tattered appearance.
If you think about it carefully, it can also be called rebuilding a ship.
Haiblog introduced: "The whole ship is 45 meters long, 19 meters wide, 8 meters deep, with a double-layer gun deck and a cabin below the deck.
In addition to meeting the , we have also made reasonable plans for the rooms on the entire ship. As for how to use these rooms, that is your problem."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, causing all the spells on the entire ship to light up.
“The spells carved on the hull are of the highest quality, created by the shipyard workers and the church’s engravers.
It includes the most basic automatic driving spell set, which can automatically navigate along the route after becoming familiar with it, and can also automatically navigate in safe waters when the sea conditions are relatively calm.
Of course, when the entire ship truly becomes a ghost ship, such a set of spells will help the ship to sail completely on its own.
The outer layer is engraved with a group of cleaning spells and acceleration spells, with three stages of accelerated navigation, namely 1.5 times, 2 times and 3 times.
Hostile detection within 50 meters, automatic magic shield, etc...."
Listening to Hai Blog's introduction, everyone showed extremely excited expressions on their faces.
This is simply amazing, it's like a dream ship, and they can't wait just by hearing the introduction.
"Okay, you guys look a little impatient, go up and take a look, she has been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't wait any longer and climbed up directly along a hanging rope ladder.
Everyone followed closely behind.
Came directly to the deck.
The entire deck of the ship is unusually spacious and tidy, and there is a place like a small garden between the two masts.
It is located right in the middle of the entire open deck, making the entire open deck look like a small square.
There is a huge circular flower bed in the center, but nothing is planted on it, and a large area of soil is exposed.
This should be the area for them to plant crops. They can even plant trees here to meet the requirements they put forward before.
As for what plants to plant, it depends on Alka and the others' own choice.
Alka came to the forecastle and took a look inside. It really had only one floor in order to maintain the streamlined shape of the ship.
The entire first floor of the forecastle was made into the captain's room, which has excellent lighting and glass on both sides. There is a huge round wooden table inside, and there are various bookshelves and open spaces around it.
What to place is also decided by Alka and his friends.
You can't expect the shipyard to equip you with a full set of furniture. It will only provide Alka and his crew with some very basic, detachable furniture.
So that the real owner of the ship can set it up for himself later.
After all, anyone who can build this kind of ship must have his own ideas.
Such a large area can also be used as a meeting room, which is more than enough.
Then everyone went along the deck to the stern deck, which was where they mainly lived.
The best rooms on the ship are all here.
There are three floors in the stern building. The front door of the first floor is a small restaurant where about 10 people can have dinner together.
There is also a downward passage entrance diagonally behind the restaurant, which is directly connected to the first gun deck below, where the ship's kitchen is located for the convenience of the chef.
After all, it was such a big ship, so the kitchen on board was expanded greatly according to Alka's requirements, and naturally it had to be designed on the lower gun deck.
Outside the kitchen, which is the rear entrance of the first-floor gun deck, there is a larger dining room that can be used for banquets and accommodate more people.
Behind the entire first-floor gun deck is a large restaurant, kitchen, and a large cold storage in the kitchen.
The two sides of the first-floor gun deck are naturally where the guns are placed, with other functional rooms in the middle, as well as decentralized ammunition depots close to the guns.
The front is used for other functions.
Everyone just took a quick look and went back upstairs, after all, the stern deck had not been fully checked yet.
In addition to the restaurant, there are also empty rooms at the back of the stern deck. It depends on Alka and the others how to use them.
There are two more floors above, which are a leisure room and several rest bedrooms.
In addition to the rooms for Alka, Jason, and Xia Daiti to use, several extra rooms were also vacated.
The rooms can be transformed, and if necessary, you can open a passage to add more space to the bedroom for use.
Juanlu, who just got on board, should also live here. He is also a normal human being.
As for Porro and Julia, they went all the way to the bottom of the ship, where there were two rooms specially prepared for them.
Due to their special races and the special requirements of the two rooms, they are two separate spaces with different materials used.
They are located at the bow and stern respectively. At the bottom of the bow is Porro's room, which is a room that can be filled with sea water and can also be pumped out of it.
There was no furniture inside, after all, the shipyard did not know the specific habits of the mermen.
At the stern is Julia's room, which is divided into two parts , one half is the floor and the other half is a structure similar to a bathtub.
That side of the floor was simply planned according to human habits.
This place can also be connected to the sea outside, allowing Julia to rest here.
Both of them were very satisfied with their respective rooms.
Then everyone separated to check out the places that interested them.
Alka, first began to check the firepower of this ship.
If the entire ship is fully loaded with gun positions, it can have 36 gun positions, but in reality there are no cannons on the deck, so Alka and his men don't like it.
Therefore, the artillery was only placed on the double-layer gun deck below, with a total of 24 guns, 12 on each side and 6 on each side.
Since this ship is not positioned as a warship and must have a certain degree of comfort, only so many artillery pieces are deployed.
However, these stone-shaking cannons are the standard stone-shaking cannons of the Blood Gold Alliance, which are one level lower than those of the church. But if you want to change to better ones, that's fine.
That will require extra money. The gun positions on the ship have space left for future expansion, and the spells are also automatically linked.
The second-level gun deck, in addition to the gun corridors on both sides, has functional spaces in the middle area and in the front and back.
In front of the first-floor gun deck is a huge library, which has been specially reinforced to be heat-resistant, fire-resistant and impact-resistant, and has special bookshelves installed.
This layout is very similar to the Sea Fist where Alka once served, probably because they both came from the same shipyard.
The rear part of the second-level gun deck is the manufacturing hall needed by Alka, which occupies 1/3 of the area of the second-level gun deck.
This place has all the necessary things for both the caster and the engraver , and it is very spacious.
The middle area is the same as the gun deck on the first floor, with a cylindrical room that is extended on the outside and the remaining room is used as a storage warehouse.
The bottom cabin was completely buried under water.
In addition to the special rooms at the head and tail, there is a huge passage area in the middle, which is where the Feiyan is stored, and there is a lot of empty space next to it.
There is a ramp space leading upwards all the way to the front end of the 2nd gun deck, and there is an opening leading to the outside.
That is, between the library and Porro's room, the Feiyan can be quickly driven out and reach the water surface.
The space between this area and Julia's room is the warehouse.
Since there were not many people on board, Alka did not plan to recruit many people even later.
He wants to go the elite route rather than the quantity route.
Naturally, the ship doesn't need too many supplies, just enough is enough.
Not to mention that there is a huge freezer behind the kitchen, which, if filled with food, will be enough for them to use for a long time.
Therefore, the snow storage area on the ship is very small for such a large ship.
There are more functional areas and spaces occupied for comfort.
The most solid place in this cabin is the center of the 1st and 2nd gun decks.
It is connected from top to bottom in a cylindrical shape, and this cylindrical area even runs from the open deck all the way to the bottom of the 2nd gun deck.
This entire cylindrical area can be escaped in case of danger.
There are densely packed protective spells engraved on both the inside and outside, and there are concealed rooms outside the cylinders on the 1st and 2nd floors.
The core of the entire ship is placed here, which is the core melted from the former stern statue.
As long as the ship is fully enlightened and becomes a ghost ship, then even if the ship is destroyed, as long as the core is still there, it can be rebuilt.
And through the core, an ordinary ship can be quickly transformed into a ghost ship with various auxiliary spells.
This is what Hai Bo told Alka when he brought him to this place just now.
In addition to the core of this area, there is a lot of space around it, which is a treasury for storing treasures.
If the most urgent accident occurs, everyone can even come here and directly separate this area from the ship for escape.
This is also the last stop for Alka and his friends on the boat tour.
The core of the ship in front of us is a huge violin-shaped work of art made of a fusion of gold and crystal.
It resonates with the surrounding spells, generally emitting a faint glow.
"This core is pretty good, isn't it? It's the appearance of your ship that she chose herself." Hai Blog looked at the core in front of him and said with a smile.
This thing was made by him, and it was also the thing on the entire ship that took him the most time to think about.
"How about the whole ship? Are you satisfied?"
Everyone walked around and nodded after hearing what Hai Blog said.
"I'm very satisfied. It's worthy of being the church's shipyard and a masterpiece." Alka couldn't help but sigh beside him.
How could he not be satisfied? This ship was completely beyond his expectations.
Hai Bo smiled and nodded: "I'm glad you're satisfied. By the way, although the ship is equipped with the most basic weapons, it is not equipped with ammunition. You need to store it yourself.
The ship still needs to be enlightened before it can fully become a ghost ship, and it cannot be submerged yet."
After hearing Haibo's instructions, Alka nodded.
Although this ship has the function of creating diving, the ship itself cannot dive. Only when Alka completely transforms the entire ship into a ghost ship can it do so.
Several people came to the deck, and Alka handed the purse in his hand to the sea blogger in front of him.
Hai Blog nodded, but did not count the gold sails in the purse.
"Okay, then this is officially delivered, the deal is done."
Alka thought for a moment and said, "We want to sell the previous boat."
"Is that the one outside?"
When he just came out, he saw the boat that Alka and the others were on.
Alka nodded, "That's the one."
"No problem, I'll find someone to do the valuation."
Then Haibo stood on the deck, patted the huge main mast in the middle, looked at Alka and others and said, "Well, let's give this new ship a name. She can't wait."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
"What name should we give it?" Alka looked at everyone and asked for their opinions.
"Let's call it the Man-eating Shark!" Porro immediately put forward his idea.
Looking at the sidelong glances from everyone, Porro shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that this suggestion was not feasible.
Even the ship itself made noises to express its displeasure with the name.
"Ocean Anthem?" Julia thought for a moment and suggested a name.
The ship did not respond.
"Ocean Spirit?"
"How's the Deep Sea Song? It feels pretty good."
Various names for the ship were suggested, and generally, they sounded OK but not quite right.
"How about calling it Voice of Dawn? I think this name is pretty good." Alka said after thinking for a long time.
Dawn symbolizes rebirth, which fits the current state of the ship very well.
Music is a microcosm of her past life.
All I could hear was the sound of cheerful music.
Hearing this, Alka smiled.
"It seems that my proposal is more popular. Then we will call it the Voice of Dawn."
Since the ship itself agreed to the name, everyone else had no choice but to nod.
Hai Bo looked at everyone and confirmed again: "Are you sure? Not changing it? Voice of Dawn?"
Alka nodded, "That's it."
"Okay, now that you've confirmed it, let me complete the final step of this ship."
