On both sides of the bow of the spirit boat, there is another ladder beside the hatch. After opening a section of fence, it is not difficult to get up and down.

Zheng Yang took the lead to climb down, and then took over others. They are all extraordinary people. In fact, they can jump three or four meters apart, but in front of ordinary people, they have to do what ordinary people should do.

Surrounded by a group of Spaniards, Zheng Yang visited and talked with galif.

"My grandfather was a commander of the Spanish Armada in the last century!"

With a word from galif, Zheng Yang was awed.

This kind of background can really frighten people. The big family inherited for hundreds of years, just ask you if you are good.

"My family has inherited the manufacturing drawings of ancient warships, but modern ships are made of steel, so they have no use value. But I like those wooden ancient warships very much. I spent a lot of money to study the ancient shipbuilding technology. It took me three years to build the Saint Mary

When galif talked about his achievements, he was very proud.

Kalux also said: "this guy has invested more than 30 million. It's unbelievable that his family didn't confine him. But I also like this boat. You know, I'm not only the first mate of the St. Mary, but also one of her engineers! "

"We need to invest a lot of money in the research process, but now that we have really understood the technology, it won't take so much money to build a ship like the St. Mary, up to two million yuan at most," galif said with a smile

"Of course, my next ship will be bigger than the St. Mary, and bigger than yours!"

Zheng Yang knocked on the deck of the ship and found that it was made of three layers of 5-8 cm thick log boards. When he knocked, it made a crisp sound. The hardness was very frightening. It was also obvious that it had been soaked in tung oil for a long time.

It's no wonder that the balance of the hull is so good after boarding. The dead weight of the hull is more than twice that of the spirit boat, and the draft is much deeper.

Needless to say, if you don't count the defense bonus of the spirit ship array, the defense of this warship will definitely exceed that of his spirit ship.

It is estimated that the cost of shipbuilding mainly depends on these woods.

The cabin is of ladder type construction with the highest stern. The interior decoration is several grades higher than that of Zheng Yang's ship. It is full of modern style just like the club.

The internal space utilization rate of this warship is also much higher than that of the spirit ship. The hull is smaller than that of the spirit ship, but there are more than 30 rooms, each of which is only about six square meters.

The gun holes in the lower cabin are all the windows of the guest room. Of course, if the gun is installed, it will be an ancient warship.

The living room, however, is not as wasteful as Zheng Yang's, nor does it have the fancy facilities of home theater and entertainment gym, nor does it have the captain's bedroom and VIP room on louling boat, nor does it even have a special fishing area.

In galif's words, the deck is so big, where can't we fish?

However, there are special restaurants and small bars on the warship, which Zheng Yang disagrees with.

The biggest common point between the two sides is the use of solar energy. The warship is not only on the roof, but also on the deck, which is covered with high-strength plexiglass.

Soon after the visit, including the design of keel structure and hull shape, as well as the design of sails, Zheng Yang was very impressed.

The self optimization ability of Lingchuan is only based on his ideas to avoid some mistakes and defects. And the feelings from these visits can give Zheng Yang a better idea in the general direction.

"Do you know? In theory, sailing ships are better than modern motorized ships in resisting storm. When you encounter a storm, as long as you run with the wind and let it ride the waves with the wind, the stronger the wind, the faster you run. As long as you do not hit the rocks and hit the ship, you will never be overturned in theory. On the contrary, modern motor ships may be overtaken and overturned by huge waves because of their slow speed. "

Zheng Yang doesn't agree with this. He has been to the Ross Sea and experienced the hurricane environment of category 12. He knows how terrible the pressure on the hull is in the real hurricane environment. He can't just run by light.

Next, it's galif's turn to visit the building.

The pattern on the spirit boat stunned these people.

"Your sail is fully automatic. It's amazing!"

"My God, you really enjoy it. It's a noble Lord's car, isn't it?"

"Ha, you have left such a large lower cabin idle. What do you want to do? Do you want to run freight with such a beautiful boat? You are really... "

"Is the keel cabin sealed? What a pity This is not good, because you can't check and find the situation in time, there will be security risks! "

At last, galif touched the logs and said nothing.

Zheng Yang said with a bitter smile, "come on, I know. This kind of material is very fragile. But I can't get your good wood. Can you tell me where I can get it? "

Galif laughed: "that kind of wood is teak. It's made in Africa. There's a large coast there. It's full of this kind of good wood. But it's also very difficult to get them. We have to ask the local aborigines to help us cut them, and then transport them back for processing! ""The most troublesome thing is that there are pirates over there who will kidnap and blackmail us, so we need to ask mercenaries to protect us all the way!"

Zheng Yang was really surprised that his knowledge of the African environment was limited to deserts and jungles. He did not expect that there was such good wood.

"Zheng, if you want this kind of wood, we can go cutting together. I'm going to prepare for my next big boat. This boat must be bigger! "

Zheng Yang immediately moved, asked: "when to go?"

"In another month, let's get in touch at the specific time, OK?"

"Of course, I also want to sail my boat to explore there!"

The two exchanged satellite phone numbers immediately.

At the parting, galif asked Zheng Yang, "where are you going next?"

"Keep going south and walk around!"

"Oh, I'm on my way back. If you have time, you are welcome to my shipyard. We're already friends, aren't we? "

"Of course, I will go to Africa once before I go!"

……

The two sides then said goodbye and continued their journey.

It was close to noon, and Emma and Lola began to prepare lunch.

"It's incredible that we saw the real ancient warship!" Up to this time, ceurali was still a little nervous.

She shook her head and said, "I didn't expect anyone else to do this kind of sailing besides your family."

"If there is one, there will be two, and there will certainly be three. It's just rare!"

Although Zheng Yang said so, he was surprised, otherwise he would not be so excited when he met.

But there is such an example, their own ship will not appear too shocking.
