The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 496: Moon Empire Shipwreck (Fourth Amendment, Ten Thousand Dollars Reward 3/3)
This chapter is a reward plus more for "Horse feeding sheep”.

With his hands gently resting on Rocky's neck, the Lesters took off and landed on the starboard side of the Sky Boat. Along the route that Costó was pointing out, he clearly saw what the dragonbones of a ship in the sky looked like.
It is indeed an entire branch.
The branches start at the bow, without collision angles, but instead extend into the bottom two sides of the boat, forming three parallel lines with the trunks of the branches. These three parallel lines form the main bone and the lateral bones on both sides, and together form the ship's main edifying structure.
On top of the three dragon bones, many branches are separated, extending to both sides to form ribs.
In other words, the main core structure of the ship is a branch. It's just that this branch is very standard and symmetrical, like a mold cast. Other structures are on this trunk, stitched up constantly, and even carefully observed, and it can still be seen that many parts, like the dragonbones, are also whole branches.
This is a ship in the sky that grows out of all kinds of branches.
“It is incredible indeed.” Lester cannot help but exclaim, "such technology is absolutely beyond this era, and our nobility does not possess it. ”
“My lord, our shipbuilding industry is the most developed, and if we cannot build such a large ship, I think… only the Moon Empire has the capacity to build such a large ship.” Follow Marcus as he climbs up and vows to analyze, "the ship may have sunk for thousands of years! ”
The Moon Empire is a good pot.
Anything that doesn't make sense and can't be explained can be put on the head of the Moon Empire.
Lester naturally won't reveal it now, it's a skyship built by the Son of the Sun race on another continent. So he followed the pan: “I think so, too, that only in the days of the Moon Empire could there be such a powerful force to build such a big ship. ”
“It's so great that we're saving the moon empire's wreck!” Blair wholeheartedly exclaims, "The Knight's glory truly meets His Excellency, and meets this land! ”
In traditional perception, the ruins of the Moon Empire are synonymous with treasures.
This wreck, apparently identified by them as a relic, was salvaged as a common way of obtaining treasure in Knight Novel.
Everyone is passionate about the way they want to be rich.
Of course, in Liszt's territory, all other outputs are owned by Liszt, except for the prescribed commercial and agricultural gains.
The wreck, too, belongs entirely to Lester.
“Costo, you're better at boats. Do you think it's possible this boat could turn into a sailboat?” Lester tried the hardness of the "branches" and, even if immersed in the sea for countless years, remained firm and free of signs of decay. The main structure of the ship remains intact.
Costó thought seriously: "I think it's okay, my lord. We have stockpiled rock wood to make masts, thorny iron wood to replenish other hulls, plus the intact bones of this moon empire wreck to make a fast sailboat… but we don't have the shipbuilding skills. ”
Lister brought many serfs from the mainland, and there were not a few craftsmen, yet there were no seafarers who could build ships.
Shipbuilders, especially sailboats, are the only ones in the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and the technology is concentrated in the hands of several large families.
“Find out without skill, we train our own sailors. Even the cargo ships have been refurbished several times and are afraid that they will not have the experience to acquire them? With this great adhesive material like rubber, I'm sure even a boat that splits randomly can sail at sea!” Lister said seriously.
Flowers, thorns, pearls and mangroves, plus three newly purchased freighters.
Slaves in the Territory can learn a lot about shipbuilding techniques. Advanced sailboats are certainly not very well built, but the technological content of sailboats of this era is not high in itself. The availability of rubber in place of rivet splicing technology greatly reduces shipbuilding technology to the point of building blocks.
As long as you're not a fool and learn more, you can build sailboats of this era.
……
Tree branches, light blue metal and 21 skeletons in the cabin were transported to the port town for storage.
As for the wreck body of the Sky Ship, Lester studied it for several days in a row. The only certainty is that the branches that make the dragonbones are the same branches as those stored in the cabin. In addition, no further discoveries were made, and Blair was given the opportunity to organize serfs and try to convert the Sky Ship into a sailboat.
“My plan is that you will choose the brains and minds of these serfs to cultivate them as shipbuilders. ”
“Yes, sir! ”
And then Lester told Costo, "You're the navigation instructor for the territory, and I want you to build up more sailors as soon as possible, and I'll keep replenishing the cargo ships for the rest of the time. You have to equip your sailors with enough, and you have to train the right captains, first mates and other high-ranking crew. ”
“My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the short term. The serfs from the mainland are dry ducks, and they dare not even swim, making it very difficult for them to overcome their fear of the sea. ”
“I will have Gorte advisors provide you with adequate support and all you need is to train qualified sailors for me! ”
“as you wish, my lord! ”
……
Leaving Black Horse Island.
Lester took away some branches and light blue metal, and he had to continue his research - items that could be hoarded in the cabin of a ship in the sky, definitely not ordinary items.
Especially since these branches can grow into dragon bones, it's impossible to imagine.
“If I study these branches thoroughly, does that mean I can build my own ship in the sky? Sailboats sailing at sea can be built continuously, even if there is no way to build them. Naturally grown bones are obviously stronger than riveted bones. ”
After his research, he also frequented glass greenhouses.
Unfortunately, five days later, no seeds still germinate in the glass greenhouse. I don't know if it's too late, or if the temperature isn't right, or if the seeds are dead.
He's still waiting patiently.
But on the other hand, patience is gradually losing.
“Barwell, haven't you made tofu yet?” Lister came to the Flower Winery and asked Chef Barwell. More than a week has passed since he funded Bawell.
Tofu still has no shadow.
Bawell panicked a little, he got the sponsorship fee for ten gold coins, and his assistant hired ten, but there was still no research: "Sorry Lord, I... I haven't found a way to make tofu yet. ”
“As soon as possible!" Lester, despite his anxiety, did not express his patience. After all, he was recommended by the Smoke Mission.
Perhaps the success of tofu lies with Bawell.
Too tight a push could hinder the appearance of tofu.
After urging Barwell, Lester talked to Chris Truth about taking away this month's potion. Second, see if she has attempted to impact the Great Magician. If she breaks directly into the Great Magician, there is no need to rush the smoke task.
“Lord Viscount, I haven't tried to impact the Great Magician lately, and I'm focusing on the Pokémon Amber. I have a feeling that the secret it contains is the key to my breakthrough with the Great Magician!” Chris was excited when she spoke - she found a lot of clues in Amber.
