In Elvin's personal laboratory on the "Storm Horn".
The golden spear, an excellent extraordinary weapon seized from Ovig's hands, lay quietly on the wooden support of the experiment table. Under the soft light of the hanging wind chimes, it radiated a gorgeous extraordinary aura.
Sizzle —
While observing its structure through various detection spells of the School of Activation, a gold coin in Elvin's hand flashed with electric light and slowly changed its shape.
First, the front and back sides of the coin quietly switched, and then the whole thing melted and turned into a mini golden lion, seagull, sailboat …
Obviously, Ovig's ability to use lightning when he was refining the golden spear gave Elvin a lot of inspiration.
For him, the spear made of pure gold had limited value, but the technology contained in this extraordinary weapon was a valuable asset to Elvin.
It could be said that it was a magical technology that was independent of the common wizard alchemy. Not only the shape of gold, but even the physical properties were changed by him at the same time.
Although Elvin's current abilities already included the various prerequisites to realize that kind of technology, it was still too far away from the other party's level.
But he would not belittle himself. Compared to Ovig, he still had his advantages.
For now.
Elvin used his lightning attribute ability, coupled with the "Data Vision" of Activation and accurate measurement, he could completely realize most of the precision processing abilities of the "manual" machine tool.
As long as there were materials, it was easy to make firearms, ship-borne cannons, and even relatively complex mechanical parts that did not involve any changes in nature.
And after this mission, he would go to the Far Sail Territory.
The main purposes were to deal with the Great Sea Shark Totem, and at the same time, to remodel the eight two-masted slave transporting ships that had almost completed the preliminary preparation work.
Another point was to make a subversive modification of the "Storm Horn" to maximize its ability to approach the standard of a quasi-legendary warship.
That would be the time for this precision processing ability to shine!
Flutter —
The sound of wings flapping suddenly interrupted Elvin's thoughts.
He saw a seagull messenger in spiritual form suddenly appear in the air in front of him and put a letter sent through the spiritual realm beacon on the table.
"Oh? Anthony is quite efficient. "
Elvin's eyes lit up instantly. He reached out and gently opened the letter that he had been looking forward to for a long time.
There were a total of five valuable spiritual letters. They were densely filled with small words and drawings.
"Elvin, Dilis, Alba and I have been running around for a long time. Don't forget to compensate us when you come back.
However, the results are not bad. Everything that we can extract within our authority is here … "
It was a letter from Anthony, who specialized in Alchemy Tools and Enchantment Engineering.
Because Elvin was afraid that the outdated knowledge in Flesh and Blood Ritual would waste such a great material, he asked his friends far away in the kingdom to collect the knowledge of making the head of a ship for him to refer to.
That was right.
Elvin was preparing to use this extremely rare Transcendent material to create a powerful ship's bow!
Back then, when the Grand Theater was driven by the Dead Soul Box, the bow statue with a twisted human head that also had the power of Stage Three had left a deep impression on him.
Just by relying on the bow statue, a tattered sailboat that had long fallen behind the times had the combat power of a Quasi-Legendary warship and defeated his fleet.
He could not help but marvel at the magic of this witchcraft creation!
In terms of witchcraft creation, it was obvious that no one in the entire material world dared to boast that they were better than the School of Alchemy.
Moreover, the scope of the information they collected was not limited to the Violet Eyes' library and the private collections of the members of the association, but also their family collections.
For Anthony and the others, it was not a problem to get some basic knowledge that did not involve core secrets for Elvin, who was no longer the same as before.
Even if this knowledge was priceless in the outside world.
If not for the fact that the School of Revitalization did not have the technology to create a bow statue three to four hundred years ago, Elvin would not have needed to ask others for help.
"Not bad, not bad. The next time I send the 'extraction potion' to the crown prince, I won't forget about you."
He eagerly read through the book in one breath, especially the ready-made production cases, which greatly expanded Elvin's train of thought.
Gradually, an initial production plan with the School of Revitalization as the backbone and the knowledge of the School of Alchemy as the support began to take shape in his mind.
"The only thing I can't make up my mind about now is the coexistence of external energy and Orvig's residual power.
At least in the raw materials of a normal bow statue, there is no residual power of a totem god. "
Elvin took out two large sapphires from the Golden Courier Road from his magic pouch and looked at them quietly for a while. Suddenly, he thought of someone.
With her understanding of witchcraft materials like gems, she should be able to provide him with many ideas, right?
Therefore, he took out the leaf of the hyacinth grass and lightly wrote on it:
"Hello, Miss Moonlight Stone! Please forgive me for being presumptuous … "
.....
It was a smooth journey from the bay near Cabusher.
Even with the double help of the Goddess of Monsoon and the Horn of Ocean Current, it still took the Storm Horn eight days.
During this period.
There were merchant ships sent by the colony that directly transported the women and children of the Araucan clan to Tortuga Island in the north of the Golden Sea.
Elvin had already contacted the Arawak clan in advance. They would join the clan to balance the extremely unhealthy male to female ratio problem.
And the Arawak clan would also pay an equal price.
Even after Zenaro, who successfully became a "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" returned to the clan, the tribal chief had already begun to consider worshipping the "Tree of Life" as their new totem.
Although Elvin did not know what changes would happen after the mysterious source of the school was worshipped as a god, at least it should not be a bad thing.
The status of women in Atrian was not high. After years of war between the tribes, according to tradition, most of the male members of the other party were killed, and then the women and young children were absorbed into the new tribe.
There were a lot of women in the Araucan clan who were robbed after they attacked other tribes. Now that they were accepted by other tribes, they did not show too much resistance.
Everyone was happy!
Three days after the Storm Horn arrived at the port.
The private property near Far Sail City that originally belonged to the Amor family had now been renamed the largest dock of the Mercury Dock. It was also the temporary office of the Mercury Union Trading Company.
Dock No. 1 had become the exclusive work space for Elvin and a group of auxiliary craftsmen.
Shua —
As the "Activation Aura" slowly dissipated, the last slave transport ship's remolding was finally completed.
"Huu-"
Finally, the eight new privateers were completely transformed. Elvin let out a long sigh of relief.
At this point, he did not need to continue to do it himself in the later stages. He only needed to let the craftsmen redecorate.
Looking at the masterpiece born in his hands in the dock, Elvin nodded with satisfaction.
The long protruding bow and stern increased the effective length of the deck. The keel had a tendency to lean down towards the stern to obtain a larger draft, which increased the stability and speed of the ship.
The body was slender, and the cross-section was V-shaped in the middle of the ship. The length and width ratio was increased by sacrificing the strength of the keel, which was now about 5: 1.
However, as a supplement, Elvin also added longitudinal stiffeners, which should not be much worse than the original.
Using a flat deck design, there was no superstructure on the ship. It was beneficial to reduce resistance, making it easier to control the sails and increase the ship's speed.
The modified "Brigantine Type Mixed Sailing Ship."
Displacement 210 tons, equipped with one 24-pounder cannon and eight 6-pounder cannons, it was powerful enough for a small privateer ship.
The foremast was equipped with a horizontal sail, and the mainmast was equipped with a vertical sail. The highest speed could easily exceed eleven knots.
Moreover, it was easier to control the sails than ordinary sailing ships. The number and professionalism of the sailor needed was greatly reduced. Without the need for gunners, only six people were needed to operate the ship.
At the same time, the new blueprints had been handed over to the company's ship engineers and carpenters, and the first prototype ship had begun trial production.
"It's not easy. The surplus pirates can finally start to work for me."
The main body of the privateer fleet was truly formed today.
"Sir General, there are some documents here that require your review."
Hawkins, who was dressed in a field officer's uniform, saw that Elvin was finally done with his work and handed him a stack of documents. Although he was an agent with full authority, there were still some things that required Elvin's signature to approve.
Previously, after Hawkins became Elvin's attendant, he did not need to carry out any combat missions and had come directly to work here, and he did a good job.
"Sir, the trading company's headquarters building has begun construction, and the recruitment of personnel has also begun at the same time. The marquis's appeal is still very shocking …
In fact, the members of the Far Sail Ridge's smuggling team have already completed the first transaction with Shilius' Mystic Dragon Colony and profited …
Also, before coming to the dock, His Excellency the Marquis asked me to invite you to Orange Leaf Castle, saying that he misses you very much … "
Elvin waved his hand and signed all the areas that required his signature. After confirming that there were no problems with the company's operations, he casually agreed.
"Alright, I got it.
Replying to His Excellency the Marquis, I'll visit him after completing the modification of Storm Horn here. "
Having just experienced a great battle, other than Milan and the necessary personnel left behind to guard the ship.
Elvin had already sent most of the crew out to relax in Far Sail City, one of the few bustling places in the entire New World.
And before he and Milan could create the ship's bow, there was still an important job to do.
That was to replace Storm Horn with a steel skeleton based on the current foundation, which would greatly increase the structural strength of this level-four warship.
In other words, this wooden sailboat was to be modified into an iron-ribbed wood-hulled ship that was second only to ironclad warships!
