Chapter 181: A meeting on the Seven Seas Traveler(2/2)

Even though it is a small utility room, it also occupies a pivotal position on the ship.

After all, the utility room is different from the lower cargo warehouse - generally speaking, the lower cargo warehouse will run across the bottom of the ship and is used to store bulky and huge quantities of trade goods, or to store grain and drinking water. The utility room is delicate.

Much more, it is generally used to store more important materials - such as the central workshop on the ship, where all kinds of alchemy materials needed on daily basis are stored.

Most of the alchemical materials are dangerous, flammable and explosive, and even have different magical properties. Therefore, there are certain safety risks under normal storage conditions. Moreover, in the air and sea environment, it is not the same as being on Mr. Gray Rock's back.

Differently, they will encounter storms, various weather conditions, and be eroded by the wind element.

As a result, extremely high requirements have been placed on the safety standards of utility rooms.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided that the utility room must adopt at least a safety standard of level two or above. The reason why it does not need to be higher is because there are not such high-level craftsmen on the ship. The level two standard also requires that the utility room be specially made of iron.

The wooden cabin section, and the way the Alchemy compartment was designed.

If this utility room alone were to be purchased on the market and hired to be built, the cost would be at least 150,000 Lissels.

Fortunately, they can save a lot by doing it themselves.

Then there is the anchor room. The boat does not need to use heavy anchor stones, which can save a lot of money. But the longer the anchor chain, the more areas the ship can ensure that the anchor can be lowered to the windless layer, so that the ship will be more stable.

Good anchorage is easy to find.

The long anchor chain does not only have advantages. Its dead weight will put a burden on the ship, and it also imposes requirements on the material of the anchor chain itself. In the end, Fang Plover chose an ordinary enchanted copper anchor, using the tendons of the flying dragon as the traction of the winch room.

Rope - without it, cheap.

As for the anchor stone itself, it is a special magical product of Aitaria. Its characteristics are exactly the opposite of Guy's crystal. It has the ability to anchor a ship in the sea of ​​clouds, provided that it is lowered to the windless layer with an anchor chain.

.

Thousands of years ago, the Sinsas snake people began to use this special magic stone as the cornerstone to build floating fortresses in the windless layer, and used it to build many magnificent floating cities.

However, this mineral was almost exhausted in their time, so that today's anchor stones are very expensive. Anchor stones for large ships are often many times more expensive than a small ship itself.

The anchor stone for Fang Plover was given by the Elfendor Council. It is about the size of a human head. There is nothing we can do about it because the alchemists are very wealthy.

When not in the windless layer, the anchor stone is almost weightless and can be easily placed in the storage room. Once it descends to the windless layer and isolates the wind element, the special magic effect will make it stable and as heavy as a thousand.

Jun.

As for the living room, dining room, activity room, boatman's room and warehouse, they are almost worthless. Just use ordinary magic black wood or white oak. Of course, worthless is relative, and there are almost no cheap things on the floating ship.

The magic black wood itself is valuable.

In addition, in the previously determined infirmary, Mirela's altar requires the blessing of holy objects, blood of saints and sacred crystals, the recovery bed requires tranquility crystals, regenerative vines and vitality wood, and the apothecary room requires magic petri dishes and inert crystals.

And a wood spirit that acts as an assistant.

Of course, it would be best to be a clever wood fairy - and Miss Tata is a dragon soul, not a real fairy.

As for letting Nini be an assistant, forget it.

Fang Yu now has a headache when he thinks about this little guy who calls him "Papa" all day long.

All in all, this is a lot of money.

It's almost impossible to buy them all in the market, they don't have that much budget. The rest can only be collected by themselves, and if they really can't find it, they have to shyly ask their teacher for some. As a master craftsman, Ander

, I can’t say that I am as rich as the country, but I still have this small amount of savings.

It's just that Fang Piao didn't really want to trouble his teacher unless he had to.

Then during everyone's discussion, they determined the last three special cabins——

Originally, according to the specifications of "Seven Sea Travelers", in addition to the alchemist, wizard master, chef, supply officer, ship officer, captain and even doctor and navigation officer on the ship, they at least need

It takes ten to fifteen sailors to make this ship sail smoothly.

However, the 'Seven Sea Traveler' is a ship with special significance after all - although it is not currently in the form of a true fairy dragon knight, with the fairy heart and the dragon soul of Tata, it can at least be

It is very different from ordinary aerospace ships.

With Tata as the master controller, ordinary sailors no longer need to carry out the sailing, steering and other activities of the ship, as well as some daily maintenance. In this way, they only need one Baggins to deal with emergencies.

.

Without sailors, the ship would be missing a lot of living quarters for sailors' daily living. If it is a merchant ship, these free spaces can naturally be used to greatly expand its cargo hold capacity.

But they are adventurers and do not need such a large warehouse, so the extra space can be used to build special cabins.

Seriously, there are many special cabins on the floating ship.

As mentioned before, it is not just the artillery deck, crow crane, construct delivery bay, magic amplification deck, central workshop, etc., in fact, most of the professions in Aitalia can have their own on the ship.

Special cabin.

For example, naturalists can have a magic tower, paladins and priests can have a prayer room, a druid's cultivation room, a stable, a nightingale's poison room, a poet's large musical instrument, etc.

But the 'Seven Seas Brigade' has many professions, including combat craftsmen, paladins, druids, and crossbow shooters. Later additions include Alyssa who is a nightingale, Luo Yu who is an elementalist, and Jita who is a naturalist.

Tianlan is a poet.

The box is both a magician and a dual-wielding swordsman.

In addition, there is an iron guard, a healer, a double-sword ranger (Ai Xiaoxiao) and a gunslinger, plus a fighter, Shesta, and Baggins, who is good at a little bit of everything, but his main occupation is a musketeer.

.

With so many professions, it is obviously impossible for everyone on the Seven Seas Traveler to have their own exclusive cabin, so determining which cabins are necessary for them is an important issue.

This is actually an elimination method.

Elisa's Nightingale's poison chamber and alchemy workshop can actually replace some of its functions. Poisons at least level three and below can be completed within the scope of potions, so they are excluded first.

Then there is the prayer room. This building can provide a certain buff to the entire ship, enhance the effect of the ship's bow, and provide a certain morale bonus to the sailors. It is not necessary for everyone.

The magic tower, crow crane, shooting and artillery deck, and structure delivery bay are all necessary items for air combat and are not considered by everyone.

Finally, they settled on the animal pen, a central chamber that housed a large pipe organ and a crystal installation.

With animal stables, animal trainers can care for some special creatures on the ship. For expedition ships, various types of beasts of burden are indispensable. Moreover, the animal stables can also bear part of the supply of fresh poultry, eggs, and milk. After all,

No one wants to be stuck on a ship eating wormy biscuits and dried meat.

Especially in areas with poor supply, like the current situation.

As for the large musical instruments on the ship, they are a necessary guarantee for the poet's combat effectiveness, especially when the level of Tianlan is not high.

Furthermore, Tian Lan heard that he had his own pipe organ. His face, which had been depressed due to the double blow of homesickness and illness, regained its luster. Everyone understood that this decision must be a cost-effective one.

After all, an adventure group must first have people, and people are often the core of an adventure group.

The last crystal device is actually a large wind element radar, which is a standard feature on many battleships. Fang Yu wanted this thing purely because he had been famous for it for a long time and was very curious about it.

So he used his power as captain to make a decision directly - plus this thing itself was somewhat useful, so Etila, the big cat man and Baggins didn't object.

"In the end it's a matter of sails."

Today's topic went very smoothly, and Fang Yu was very satisfied.

He looked at the others and asked the last question:

"Do you think the Seven Seas Traveler needs to install wing sails?"

The so-called wing sail is actually the biggest difference between a floating ship and an ordinary sailboat.

Because the aerostat does not need to sail on the water, its 'sail' naturally does not need to be located just above the ship.

Therefore, for aerospace ships, several types of special-shaped sails have been derived - the feather-like sails located on the left and right sides of the ship are called wing sails. The wing sails can open and close at a certain angle.

Can increase the speed of the ship in downwind.

The sail located on the bottom of the ship, called a fin sail, is generally used to assist steering and longitudinal stability of the ship.

There are also small wings located on the bow to increase the ability to sail upwind.

Tail sail, lateral stability and enhanced small radius turning ability.

The fish-like scale sails that line the side of the ship are a more special type of sail, usually only found on large battleships.

The wing sails proposed by Fang Plover are to supplement the ship's maneuverability. After all, the Seven Seas Traveler is too small and not suitable for long-distance sailing. However, wing sails are expensive. Generally speaking, if it is not a warship, few aerospace ships will consider it.

.

Of course, when Fang Yu raised this question, it was not because he had not considered their affordability - the sail mast did not require expensive magic oak or black wood, solid mahogany would do the job. And Ms. Kuisu and her team of lumberjacks would do the job.

Providing them with a steady stream of high-quality mahogany, this demand is simply not a concern.

As for the material of the sail, Fang Plover actually has an idea.

The enchanted canvas made by alchemy is very expensive, but it can also be replaced by natural materials. As far as he knows, not far from the grand canyon in front of him, there are many silver-maned giant spiders living in Panier Red Mountain.

The silk they weave, after being debonded, becomes a natural and tough canvas material——

Although it is not as durable as enchanted canvas, it is cheaper and lighter. They can definitely prepare more.

Of course, it's just that these 'big guys' are not so hospitable.
