Chapter 209 Research Coastal Defense Weapons
Although Sylvia Ocean is relatively cold because of his low loyalty, Qu Mao is still in a very happy mood. Sylvia Ocean is a logistics officer, which means that the starting point is 150 dominance points. Moreover, it is easy to upgrade from level 0 to level 50. At least it can provide 400-500 dominance points for the territory of Yi Village.
The control value provided by nine heroes is definitely stronger than that of eight heroes.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Sylvia Oshen finally had a good rest. Qu Mao and Su Yan solemnly sent Sylvia Oshen to the naval barracks in person.
After all, Sylvia Ocean's loyalty is only 10%, which is considered to be the existence with the lowest initial loyalty among the heroes recruited by Qu Mao. It is necessary to accommodate a little.
Qu Mao and Su Yan personally sent Sylvia Ocean to the naval barracks, so that Sylvia Ocean, who is a naval hero, would be familiar with the naval barracks and naval soldiers.
Sylvia Ocean's level is still level zero, but she has an expression of not getting close to strangers, which makes Qu Mao feel embarrassed to discuss with Sylvia Ocean to take her to upgrade. It's good for her to get acquainted with the situation.
After bringing Sylvia Ocean to the naval barracks, Sylvia Ocean saw the naval soldiers, and his loyalty increased slightly, but it was still less than 15%.
Qu Mao greeted Su Yan and told Su Yan that he would go to the north of the outlying island to find Kong Ming in a small village. In the afternoon, he asked Sir Mrak to bring his troops to the naval barracks to see Sylvia Ocean and ask Sylvia ·Whether Ocean is willing to go hunting with Sir Mrak to upgrade his level.
Sylvia Ocean's major is a logistics officer. At the beginning, she can only provide 150 points of control to the territory of Yi Village, and each level can increase the point of control by 5 points.
Right now, the territory of Yi Village does not lack the command value, but as long as he goes to the city of the aborigines again, Qu Mao will inevitably purchase the leaders, which means that the territory of Yi Village will never think that the command value is too high. Sylvia Ocean was willing, and Qu Mao was willing to let Sir Mrak take her to upgrade.
And fighting together is a great way to develop loyalty, all friendships are built on productive time spent together.
The reason why Qu Mao went to the north of the outlying island to find Kong Ming in the small village was mainly because after the epic naval logistics hero Sylvia Ocean was recruited yesterday, Qu Mao was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, so he searched more in the lord communication channel. After a while, flipping through Qu Mao unexpectedly found that the players had formed an anti-cheating alliance.
Needless to say, the establishment of this alliance was mainly to complete the tasks issued by Birdman, which instantly made Qu Mao feel anxious.
Birds picked up Fuzhi and Lai Dima, Yicun Territory was already aware of this crisis, and specially convened high-level core personnel to discuss coping strategies, and fully responded in terms of development.
But deep down in Qu Mao’s heart, he didn’t believe that other players would really spend a lot of time and energy sailing to the deep sea to complete the birdman’s mission.
However, the anti-cheating alliance has been established, so Qu Mao is not nervous. With the small fisherman's village on Yidao and the defense towers beside the civilian pier, Qu Mao is not arrogant enough to prevent other players' warships from landing.
Sky Island and Outlying Island needless to say, there is only a defense tower next to the civilian dock.
So Qu Mao had to find a way to communicate with Kong Ming about the research and deployment of coastal defense weapons, which is why Qu Mao had to go to Kong Ming.
The naval barracks is not far from Nanlai Village. After Qu Mao rode a rough horse to Nanlai Village, he greeted the village head Zhang Kai, and then went directly into the Purple Light Trail and headed north to the village.
After going north to the small village, Chafidel and Kong Ming will naturally welcome Qu Mao.
Qu Mao briefly introduced to Kong Ming and Chafidel the construction of the naval barracks and the recruitment of the naval hero Sylvia Ocean, and then talked about his thoughts on the coastal defense of Easy Island, Outlying Island and Sky Island.
Kong Ming said in surprise: "My lord, the other god-chosen lords formed an anti-Yi village territory alliance? After you got the news, you actually ran over to find your subordinates to research coastal defense weapons?
If you send a messenger to send a message about this kind of thing, your subordinates will naturally return to Yi Village to find you! "
Qu Mao waved his hands and said: "It's all the same, your side is a bit busy, and it's the same with me.
I don’t have much idea about coastal defense weapons. Today I mainly come here to communicate with you.
In this world there is that kind of gunpowder...is it a weapon that can explode? "
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "My lord, apart from magic that can cause explosions, there is no weapon that can explode yet."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Damn it! What does it mean to develop firearms defense, we have to develop gunpowder first, forget it, don't consider cannons.
I have the impression that there is something that can throw stones on the shore to hit enemy warships on the sea. It shouldn’t be a big problem, right? "
Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, thought for a while, and asked, "Sir, are you talking about catapults? Now the naval warships of various countries are mainly made of wood. In theory, using catapults can hit enemy warships."
Qu Mao said: "Well, the enemy's warships are likely to be wooden warships now. If we can smash stones weighing hundreds of catties from the shore, we will definitely be able to sink their warships."
Qu Mao shook his head helplessly, and said: "Kong Ming, no matter how low the hit rate is, it is better to have it than to have nothing. Isn't there a shortage of coastal defense weapons now?"
Kong Ming gently put the goose feather fan on the table, found a piece of paper and a pen, and began to draw pictures for Qu Mao.
Drawing out the construction blueprint of the catapult, Kong Ming picked up the goose feather fan, shook the goose feather fan and said, "My lord, is this kind of catapult you want?
Although the subordinates drew the construction drawings, they still believed that the hit rate of this kind of catapult was too low, and it was useless.
Even if you want to build, the subordinates think that simply building a few buildings will make sense, don't waste too many resources and the people doing this kind of thing, you can consider replacing hundreds of catties of stones with hundreds of one or two catties The small stones, anyway, have a low hit rate, and they are not as good as the blows of the goddess scattered flowers.
Although replacing it with small stones may not necessarily sink the enemy warship, it can at least injure the sailors and naval soldiers operating on the enemy's deck. "
Qu Mao picked up the construction blueprint of the catapult drawn by Kong Ming, then slapped it on the table fiercely, and said, "Yes, this is the thing!
Kong Ming, your opinion is good. It is a brilliant idea to replace one big stone with countless small stones to increase the hit rate with the number.
So we need to build both, we need to build both those who throw big stones and those who throw small stones. "
Kong Ming smiled wryly and said: "My lord, this is just a sketch drawn by my subordinates, and I can't directly arrange for the people to be on duty for the construction. It will take a lot of time for you to complete the construction successfully.
Moreover, the accuracy of this weapon is very difficult to control. Even if it is replaced with hundreds of small stones, it is still difficult to ensure a hit. The subordinate means that building this thing is a waste of resources and labor hours of the leaders. "
Qu Mao said with a smile: "Kong Ming, it doesn't matter if the accuracy is not enough, let's try to make up for it with quantity. If we build hundreds of catapults, one of them will hit the target.
I think the naval barracks, shipyard, military port, the civilian wharves of the three small islands, and the surrounding salt fields must be equipped with such catapults, and they must be built at the same time for throwing large stones and small stones. First, build five for each place. Well, two cast big stones and three cast small stones.
The follow-up will continue to build, I still don't believe it. If 100 catapults hit at the same time, they can always sink a few enemy warships. As long as we build enough, it will always work. "
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "My lord, if you insist on building this kind of coastal defense weapon, my subordinates have no objections.
But the subordinates feel that this kind of coastal defense weapon is not the most effective coastal defense weapon in line with the actual situation of Yidao. You must build it. Please build a few less.
You allow me to think about it for a few more days, I will definitely..."
Qu Mao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Kong Ming, it's okay for you to continue thinking about new coastal defense weapons, but the territory of Yi Village can't afford to wait.
You continue to think about new coastal defense weapons. I think the structure of the coastal defense catapult is not complicated. It is nothing more than a few pieces of wood and ropes, so it will not delay each other.
I will personally arrange for the people to build coastal defense catapults. You continue to think about new coastal defense weapons, and I will continue to build them when you think about them. What do you think? "
Kong Ming said: "My lord, that's all I can do.
But the subordinates insisted not to arrange too many at one time, and it is almost enough to build two for each important area that needs defense.
After all, our resources and gold coins are very tight now. In fact, the leaders are also very nervous.
In the future, better coastal defense weapons will be developed, and it will be easy to disassemble.
You said that other Lords of the Chosen formed an alliance against Yi Village territory, but your subordinates think that even if they send troops to find Yi Island, it may not be an easy task.
It is similar to what we predicted at the first meeting. From the time they are preparing to send troops to the time when they actually approach the waters of Yi Village's territory, the subordinates estimate that it will take at least a few months.
This period of time is enough for us to develop suitable coastal defense weapons, please have some confidence in your subordinates. "
Qu Mao stood up, patted Kong Ming on the shoulder, and said, "I have great trust in you, but the construction of the coastal defense catapult must be done as soon as possible.
I have already discussed with you for half a day in Beixiang Xiaocun, and I will not waste the rest of the time.
I'll go directly to deploy catapults, the number is up to you, and the number should be less, but if no new coastal defense weapons are invented in the future, we still need to make up enough. "
Kong Ming said: "My lord, it's already late at night. You will stay overnight in Beixiang Village tonight and make arrangements tomorrow morning."
Qu Mao waved his hand, asked Zafidel to arrange a team of third-tier sharpshooters, and rushed towards Li Village overnight with torches on.
