The Light Assassin, Kyros, was originally an enemy that must be eliminated. Helping White Wave City out of its predicament was just a matter of following the trend. White Wave City might still have to face retaliatory attacks from Reef City, but after Reef City lost Kyros, it was no longer the Reef City that all the city-states feared. Pelesi was confident that he could once again win over those cities that were threatened by Kyros and were dissatisfied with Reef City, and have a good fight with Reef City.
The Tower of China did not ask for too much from White Wave City, but only took away the two largest warships in the White Wave City fleet. However, Pelesi did not dare to have any opinions. He knew very well that if these people wanted to take over the entire White Wave City, then White Wave City could fly their flag at dinner time today. Using these two large ships as a price to exchange for living space was worth it to him.
However, there was no need for Xiao Chen to talk more about these things with Heres. After Xiao Chen mentioned the death of the saint, Heres seemed more respectful than before.
In the next two days, Herrera and several of his team's most experienced shipwrights helped these mysterious wizards and craftsmen to redesign the structure of the ship. Then the renovation work of the two ships began in full swing.
There was no one among Xiao Chen's group of time travelers who had shipbuilding experience. All they could refer to were some ship books and film and television materials in the library. The few people selected to do this job had the most relevant experience as a ship model enthusiast, and the rest were mostly selected from mathematics and physics majors. Therefore, people like Herrez who had actual sailing experience were of great help to these "experts" who only talked about theory on paper.
Two days later in the afternoon, Xiao Chen entered his own meditation world with the blueprints of the sailboat modification.
There is a ready-made sea here that also conforms to the basic laws of physics and can be used to test the modified structure of the ship.
On the beach of the Meditation World, Kona, Tasia and Elena stood behind Xiao Chen, watching him model a sailboat in the air.
More than two years ago, Master Kona had awakened from his deep sleep. Now, the strength of Xiao Chen's three spirit servants has improved and reached the level of masters. Even Xiaobai has become much stronger, and the scales and claws on his body have become brighter and clearer.
The sailboat made by Xiao Chen is only about one tenth the size of a real sailboat. He first outlines the structure of the entire sailboat with lines, and then fills it with materials according to the density of different materials.
It's like a three-dimensional painting in another world. Draw the structure, fill in the material, and wherever the mind goes, the battleship will quickly take shape.
In reality, it might take several days to make a model, but Xiao Chen only spent five minutes to make it look like a real thing.
Xiao Chen completed the shaping in the air, then used his mind to command the warship to rotate in the air, comparing it carefully with the blueprint.
Tasia said, "I feel like the ship has become much uglier after these armor plates were installed."
"Like a fat man who has eaten too much." Elena also said.
Xiao Chen said helplessly: "We have referred to the technologies of both worlds, and also consulted the notes of all the previous explorers of the Raging Sea. We have spent nearly two months researching before designing such a ship. As long as it can be used, it's fine."
Tasia said, "But I feel like something is wrong."
"where?"
“I can’t explain it, it’s just a feeling.”
"Let's get into the water first." Xiao Chen let the boat slowly fall into the water, and the model warship stopped steadily on the water.
"The counterweight seems to be well calculated, and the center of gravity is very stable. Let's have some waves." Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, and the originally calm waves under the boat began to fluctuate. The boat also floated up and down with the waves. Everything seemed very stable.
"Let's try the boat's ability to sail with the sails lowered." Xiao Chen controlled the sails on the sailboat to open one by one, and then created another gust of wind.
"I know what's wrong! Don't you think the boat is a little unbalanced after the sail is lowered? Maybe it looked good before so many things were added. But now..." said Tasia.
Before she could finish her words, the ship began to tilt and then plunged into the sea.
The people on the beach looked at each other in silence. Xiao Chen said, "Failure is the mother of success. Just try again."
None of Xiao Chen and the others had expected that the phrase "come again" would be repeated many times.
After two adjustments and changing the position of the sail, the boat was finally able to sail in a straight line, but trouble arose again when turning.
After adjustments have been made and the boat can turn flexibly, once the wind and waves become stronger, the boat becomes unstable again.
Although there will be stable components transformed from the artifact of the God of Time on the real ship, Xiao Chen does not want to pin all his hopes on one artifact.
So they began a long and repetitive revision process. Xiao Chen would record the experimental process in the meditation world. Then he would show it to the designers and engineers outside, who would then revise the design drawings and conduct another experiment. Later, in order to save time, they began to experiment with several different designs at the same time, and asked other mages to create a small ocean in their own meditation worlds and join in the work.
There will be repeated modifications in the design, but fortunately they have more than a dozen Dream Tower mages including Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, and Ye Zi, so they began to divide the testing work into multiple items and conduct tests in more than one meditation world.
Five days later, the repeatedly overturned plan was finally finalized, and the model that Xiao Chen had shaped in the meditation world passed the experiment. He even put the model into the raging sea that was beyond his control, and it also lasted for a long time.
Eight days later, a ten-to-one model projected in the sea around the shipyard passed the test. The boat was controlled by a flying wizard through mental power, but most of the main components were made of the same materials as the real ship.
A month later, Hou Yi was remodeled and conducted its first sea trial. The sea trial was generally successful. After so many modifications, the ship's modification plan no longer had any major problems. However, Xiao Chen and his team still found some problems. First, after the crew boarded the ship, they found that some devices were designed without fully considering the convenience of people using them. Secondly, they found that some of the additional equipment had problems with firmness during the ship's movement. Finally, they found that some strengthening and reinforcement arrays had limited isolation capabilities due to the limited magic power of the wooden frame of the hull, and the magic fluctuations would interfere with each other. After the test, Xiao Chen continued to organize people to tackle the problem for a week.
More than two months later, Houyi was refitted and conducted its final sea trial. (To be continued)
