Chapter 181: A meeting on the Seven Seas Traveler(1/2)
‘The morning of May 10——
The weather was fine and the visibility was high. The team waded across the Shuohe Galaxy from a shallow shoal in the south. On the way across the river, they were attacked by several jackals, but there were no casualties.’
Below is another line of small words, marked in eye-catching red ink:
‘Tomorrow is Sylvain’s birthday’
'On May 11th, the weather was fine and it was Sylvain's birthday. We held a small banquet——'
‘On May 12th, the weather is cloudy and we have a regular meeting.’
There are a few spots of ink on the spread diary, which are actually a line of Nini's naughty little footprints, and the words recorded on it are very neat, showing the seriousness and responsibility of its owner.
After the team passed through the Shuohe Galaxy, there was no longer any obstacle to the north to Idos, and the scenery on both sides of the river began to change. From the lush green carpet-like forest in the south to the steep sandstone cliffs along both sides of the river.
wall.
The forest trees have obviously become sparse, revealing the red sandy soil below, and the huge shadows of the clouds slowly flow southward along the river valley, giving people a sense of vastness.
After a few days of quarrel between Tian Lan and Luo Yu, the two reconciled. However, after the little girl caught a cold in the forest that night a few days ago, she fell ill with a cold.
I couldn't attend the birthday party either.
So far, he is still under the meticulous care of Etila and is waiting for recovery.
Today is the adventure group's regular internal meeting every Monday, and the topic is to continue discussing the construction issues of the 'Seven Sea Traveler' that have not yet been discussed several times before.
Such meetings in the adventure group had become a habit before Grande and his party, and this was one of the main results of the ship officer's team building and shipboard rules and regulations.
However, since the birth of this gathering, the main discussion has been on the construction plan of the Seven Seas Traveler. There were only a few discussions related to the Dragon Worship Cult, and one was related to the situation in the southern border, and Sophie participated in all those discussions.
During his stay in Vanrich, the group meetings were interrupted twice, and after leaving Vanrich, they were resumed.
And the topic naturally returned to the construction of the Seven Seas Traveler.
After all, for any adventure group, how to design its own floating ship is a big problem.
Unless you have no conditions and can only buy a second-hand boat, the equipment and cabins required on the boat will depend on the staffing of different adventure groups.
For example, if the members on the ship are mainly spellcasters, you need a magic amplification deck; if the melee profession is the core, you need to consider jumping gangs and boarding battles; or if there are many long-range professions, you need to set up a shooting deck and counterboarding.
device of war.
Or if there is more than one combat craftsman in the group, it is necessary to consider whether to add a lower structure delivery bay. In addition, there are workshops, laboratories, crystal detection rooms for various life occupations, and even animal stables and upper greenhouses.
.
In the last discussion, thanks to the participation of Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao, everyone finally decided how the infirmary should be set up - after all, healers have different beliefs, so determining what altar to configure in the recovery room on the ship is the first priority.
Mirela's priests are good at recovery and disease removal, but weak at recovery and detoxification. Therefore, the recovery bed and pharmacy can effectively improve its treatment efficiency.
However, Tang Xin had some different opinions on this. After all, she couldn't stay in Aitaria for too long and she still had to take the graduation exam.
It was only Aitila who persuaded her: Mirela's followers are mainstream therapists, and finding another one wouldn't be a big problem. Then she no longer objected.
Fang Plover got up early that day and went up and down to perform routine maintenance on the platform. He first tied on the safety rope and climbed along the rope net to the bottom of the 'stern', because Baggins mentioned it to him a few days ago.
There is an abnormal sound in the cooling duct behind the platform.
As soon as he opened the cover of the radiator at the back, Fang Plover found that it was filled with a 'surprise' - dried fruits and tree roots.
He was suddenly speechless.
At the same time, I also realized that there was a new 'guest' on the ship, which seemed to be a little guy, and the deck was Delise's territory, so it had to live down here.
Fang Plover hung on the rope net and looked down, thinking that the other party should have come up from Mr. Huiyan's back.
He originally planned to clean these things up, but then he thought about it and gave up on this decision.
So he climbed back on the deck, took some boards and nails from his workshop, picked up a hammer and banged a small house out. Naturally, his carpentry skills were far behind Luo Yu's, and the final product was very crooked.
It's ugly, but Fang Plover doesn't feel it at all.
At this time, other people were getting up one after another. Jita and Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the things in his hands curiously and asked in a low voice what they were used for. Fang Yu told them about this matter, and the two Xiaoxiao
The girls were all a little surprised.
After all, little girls are inherently immune to these little creatures.
Ai Xiaoxiao guessed it was a gray squirrel, while Jita stood on the side of the square plover as always, thinking it was a red-necked tit. Both small creatures are common creatures in this area.
Ai Xiaoxiao looked at the 'box' in Fang Yu's hand and asked:
"Cousin, is this the mousetrap you made?"
Fang Yu looked at the so-called 'house' in his hand and couldn't help but blush:
"...This is the house I built for it."
"ah?"
On the platform, Rhett was trimming his claws. He raised his head and sniffed the wind coming down from the upper river valley, and the gold ring on his beard jingled.
Delis was lazily basking in the sun on the side, occasionally sticking out her pink tongue to lick her paws, and looking at these boring humans below with her beautiful jewel-like eyes.
The two ‘cats’, one big and one small, really complement each other.
After Fang Plover nailed the house at the stern of the boat, it was almost noon. I don't know if it was because the 'little guest' was too afraid of people, but he was never able to see its lineup. Therefore, the debate about red-necked tits and pine trees,
It can only be put aside for the time being.
After everyone ate some dry food, they started the afternoon activities.
After Mr. Huiyan passed through Shuohe Galaxy, it became difficult to supply food in this area. There was not much prey to be found on the barren red stone sand, and there were only a few types of vegetation, most of which were inaccessible.
Etila also canceled the afternoon tea party that was originally held every two days, which the big cat people were not used to.
In the afternoon, Tianlan's fever had subsided a lot, and she went to the deck to blow in the wind for a while. The little girl now regained some energy, and gave some angry orders to Parker who was scrubbing the deck, making the latter very angry.
A little jump.
After three o'clock, Mr. Gray Rock slowly entered the shadow of a canyon.
To the east here you can see the towering crimson ridges, which are the vast wind-eroded landforms formed by the wind and sand of Istania day after day.
After passing through the canyon, you enter the territory of Idos.
Only then did Fang Yu send someone to wake up Shesta and Luo Yu, who had been sleeping until now. Everyone came to the conference room one by one, and announced that the day's intra-group meeting had officially begun.
Tianlan sat in the corner, with Aitila and Luo Yu accompanying her on the left and right.
Her face was sickly pale, with a slight blush. While coughing, she asked curiously: "Sister Sylvide, what are we discussing today...ahem?"
Miss Elf then patted her back gently and handed a cup of hot water to her hand.
"I'm not thirsty."
"Drink more water."
Attila's words were somewhat irrefutable.
It seems that both worlds at least have the same strategies for dealing with colds.
Sylvide held a small notebook and said to everyone with a smile:
"Today we are still discussing issues related to cabin layout and sails."
Regarding the general structure of the Seven Seas Traveler, everyone has almost reached a conclusion.
After all, they have no shipbuilding experience, so it is best not to make the ship too big for the first time, so that even if there are any major mistakes during the construction process, it can be easily overthrown. So in the end - the first generation of the 'Seven Sea Traveler' was determined to be
A sloop (sail-type structure).
This type of boat is very common in coastal areas and is the main style of small expedition boats and fishing boats. It is especially good at sailing in coastal areas with complicated wind directions, and can also go deep into the land. However, it is not as good at ocean sailing compared to square sailing ships.
The final design of the "Seven Sea Traveler" is about 19 meters long, with the highest point of the mast 25.4 meters, and a width of about 4 meters amidships. Its maximum passenger capacity is 30 people, and the speed is Level 4 - that is, under full wind and no load.
It can reach a speed of seven knots and can sail one hundred and sixty miles per day.
The air mileage of Aitaria is about 1.9 kilometers, so under ideal circumstances, the Seven Seas Traveler can sail nearly 300 kilometers in one day, which is much faster than Mr. Gray Rock.
As for the cabins on the ship, in addition to the core lift compartment, the medical room, the utility room, the boatman's room (used to store ship repair materials and spare sails), the grain storehouse and the lower warehouse, there are also kitchens, restaurants, and activity rooms.
It is also fully equipped with a winch room.
In addition, there is a dedicated armory. The captain's cabin is still located at the stern and has been merged with the chart room to save space.
Originally, a ship like this could have been equipped with an artillery deck and four to six cannons for self-defense. However, the alchemy cannon that Kukai could use was too expensive, so they could only install one cannon on the bow.
Besides, as adventurers, they had no intention of engaging in aerial combat with anyone.
According to Aitaria's classification of aerospace ships.
The "Seven Sea Traveler" is slightly larger than the seventh-level miscellaneous ships and small boats, but it is far from catching up with the sixth-level frigates. In the eyes of the Grand Guild, it is not enough. But for everyone in the adventure group
For people, even just talking about building it -
Everyone is also full of enthusiasm.
After all, this is their ship, and with the average level of the adventure group being less than twenty-five, they are extremely lucky to have a floating ship.
So Fang Yu first asked the first question:
'Standards for utility rooms.'
