With a gentle push on Loki's neck, Liszt flew into the air and landed on the deck of the Sky Ship. Following the path Kosto pointed out, he could clearly see what the keel of the Sky Ship looked like.
It was indeed a whole branch.
The branch started from the bow of the ship. There was no collision angle, but two branches extended to the bottom of the ship, forming three parallel lines with the main branch. These three parallel lines formed the main keel and the side keels on both sides. Together, they formed the main structure of the ship.
On top of the three keels, there were many branches that extended to both sides, forming the ribs.
In other words, the main core structure of the Sky Ship was made up of a branch. However, this branch was very standard and symmetrical, as if it was cast from a mold. The other structures were constantly pieced together on this trunk. If one looked closely, one could still see that many parts were the same as the keel, a whole branch.
This was a Sky Ship that was "grown" out of various branches.
"It's really incredible." Liszt could not help but exclaim, "This kind of technology is definitely beyond this era. No nobles in our country have this kind of technology."
"Sir, our country's shipbuilding industry is the most developed. If our country can't build such a big ship, I think … only the Moon Empire has the ability to build such a big ship." Markus, who had climbed up, analyzed confidently, "This ship may have sunk at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years!"
The Moon Empire was a good pot.
Anything that could not be understood or explained could be put on the Moon Empire.
Naturally, Liszt would not reveal that this was a Sky Ship made by the Sun's Child race from another continent. So he also put the blame, "I think so too. Only the Moon Empire had the power to build such a big ship."
"We actually salvaged a sunken ship from the Moon Empire. This is so great!" Blair praised sincerely, "The glory of the Knight really favors you and this territory!"
In traditional knowledge, the ruins of the Moon Empire were synonymous with treasures.
This sunken ship had obviously been identified as a type of ruins. Salvaging it was a common way to obtain treasures in Knight's novels.
It was a way that everyone was eager to get rich.
Of course, in Liszt's territory, except for the commercial and agricultural income, all other products belonged to Liszt.
This sunken ship also completely belonged to Liszt.
"Kosto, you are more familiar with ships. Do you think it's possible to transform this ship into a sailboat?" Liszt tested the hardness of the "branch". Even though it had been soaked in the sea for countless years, it was still strong and showed no signs of decay. The main structure of the ship was still intact.
Kosto thought about it carefully. "I think it's possible, my lord. We have stonewood in our inventory to make masts and thorny ironwood to supplement the other parts of the hull. Together with the intact keel of this sunken ship from the Moon Empire, we can make a fast sailboat … However, we don't have the shipbuilding technology. "
Liszt transported a lot of serfs and craftsmen from the mainland, but he didn't have any shipbuilders.
Only the Sapphire Grand Duchy had shipbuilders, especially those who could build large sailboats. The technology was concentrated in the hands of a few great clans.
"If we don't have the skills, we'll just have to figure it out. We'll train our own boatmen. He had even refurbished a few cargo ships, so there was no need to worry about not having enough EXP. With rubber as an excellent bonding material, I believe that even a randomly assembled ship can sail on the sea! "Liszt said solemnly.
The Flower, the Thorns, the Pearl, the Mangrove, and the three newly purchased freighters.
The serfs in the territory could also learn a lot of shipbuilding techniques. Advanced sailboats were definitely not easy to build, but sailboats in this era did not have high technical content. With rubber instead of rivets, shipbuilding technology was reduced to the level of building blocks to a large extent.
As long as one wasn't a fool, one could build a sailboat of this era with enough practice.
…
The tree branches, light blue metal, and 21 skeletons in the cabin were transported to Port Town for storage.
As for the main body of the Sky Ship, Liszt spent several days studying it. The only thing he was sure of was that the tree branches used to make the keel were the same as the ones stored in the cabin. There were no more discoveries, so he handed it over to Blair to organize the serfs and try to convert the Sky Ship into a sailboat.
"My plan is for you to select the quick-witted ones from this batch of serfs and train them into shipwrights."
"Yes, my Lord!"
Then Liszt told Kosto, "You are the navigation instructor of the territory. I hope you can train more sailors as soon as possible. I will continue to replenish the cargo ships in the following time. You must have enough sailors, and be sure to train more suitable captains, first officers, and other senior crew members. "
"My Lord, I am afraid it will be difficult in a short time. The serfs shipped from the mainland are landlubbers. They don't even dare to swim. It is very difficult for them to overcome their fear of the sea."
"I will let Consultant Gort give you sufficient support. What you need is to train qualified sailors for me!"
"As you wish, my Lord!"
… …
When leaving Black Horse Island.
Liszt took some branches and light blue metal with him. He wanted to continue studying – items that could be hoarded in the cabin of the Sky Ship were definitely not ordinary items.
In particular, this kind of branch could grow into keel, which was simply unimaginable.
"If I study this branch thoroughly, does it mean that I can make my own Sky Ship? Even if I can't make a Sky Ship, I can continue to make sailboats for sailing on the sea. A naturally grown keel is obviously stronger than a riveted keel. "
In addition to his research, he often visited the glass greenhouse.
Unfortunately, after five days, there were still no seeds germinating in the glass greenhouse. He didn't know if it was not time, or if the temperature was not right, or if the seeds were dead.
He still had the patience to wait.
But on the other hand, he was gradually losing patience.
"Barwell, haven't you made tofu yet?" Liszt came to the Flower Restaurant and asked the chef Barwell. It has been more than a week since he funded Barwell.
There was still no sign of tofu.
Barwell was a little flustered. He got a sponsorship of ten gold coins and hired ten assistants, but there was still no research results. "I'm sorry, my Lord, I … I haven't found a way to make tofu yet."
"As soon as possible!" Although Liszt was anxious, he was still patient and did not express it. After all, the other party was the recommended candidate for the smoke mission.
Perhaps the success of tofu depended on Barwell.
If he urged too much, it might hinder the emergence of tofu.
After urging Barwell, Liszt chatted with Kris Truth again. One reason was to take away this month's potion. Secondly, it was to see if she had any intention of becoming a great mage. If she directly broke through and became a great mage, there was no need to rush the smoke mission.
