The construction blueprint of the Asben Fleet?
Tidas was puzzled as he directly received his reward.
However, as soon as he received the reward, Tidas was stunned.
"This is an entire fleet!”
"System, are you drunk? You actually rewarded me with an entire fleet!”
Tidas was excited!
Tidas could not help but be excited.
Previously, Tidas had saved three months of reputation for a Forest Immortal Rank light cruiser.
But now, the system had given him the blueprints of an entire fleet!
How could he not be excited?
Although this fleet was very small and should have been eliminated long ago, it was still a complete fleet!
The historical Ashburn fleet was ordered from Country Y in 1860.
Finally, in 1863, the fleet arrived in China.
As for the cost, it had increased from 800,000 taels of silver to nearly 2 million taels of silver.
That was not all. At that time, because of the issue of the command of this fleet, the former dynasty and the UK had a dispute. In the end, they broke up and the entire fleet was dragged back to the UK for auction.
During this process, they had to settle the sailors and compensate Country Y for their losses. It was another large sum of money.
As for the name of the fleet, it was because its commander was the British citizen, Asiben, hence the name.
The entire fleet consisted of three mid-level soldier wheels, four small-sized soldier wheels, and an auxiliary transport ship.
The entire fleet was equipped with more than forty cannons!
At this moment, after obtaining the design blueprint of the entire fleet, Tidas also clearly saw the detailed data of this fleet that had only appeared briefly in the previous dynasty.
[Fleet Flagship: Zhenwu, Intermediate Soldier Wheel, 1289 tons displacement, wooden gunboat, 73 meters long, 8 meters wide, 3 meters draft, equipped with two 68-pound cannons, four 18-pound cannons, speed 9 knots, 1217 horsepower.]
[Golden Platform: Middle-level military ship, displacement 670 tons, wooden gunboat, 54 meters long, 8 meters wide, 4 meters draft, equipped with one 110-pound cannon, one 68-pound cannon, two 20-pound cannons, 150 horsepower.]
" Unity: Intermediate military ship, displacement 669 tons, wooden gunboat, 48 meters long, 9 meters wide, 5 meters draft, equipped with one 40-pound cannon, six 32-pound cannons, four 20-pound cannons, 200 horsepower.
Guang Wan: Small class warship, displacement 301 tons, wooden gunboat, 38 meters long, 7 meters wide, 3 meters draft, equipped with a 110-pound cannon, a 40-pound cannon, 80 horsepower.
Bai Yue: Small class military ship, displacement 600 tons, iron shell report ship, length 56 meters, width 7 meters, draft 8 meters, equipment to be determined, 560 horsepower.
[Sanwei: Small class military ship, displacement 445 tons, iron hull reporting ship, 45 meters long, 8 meters wide, 7 meters draft, equipment to be determined, 320 horsepower.]
Victory number: Small level military wheel, supply ship.
Duli: Transportation ship.
……
Tidas looked at the data of the Asyben fleet.
However, the excitement on his face was greatly reduced.
Forget it.
That's right, this was a complete fleet, a complete fleet with a total displacement of 4000 tons.
However!
Wasn't this way too backward?
The entire fleet was basically made of wooden gunboats. There were only two iron-shelled ships, and they were all used for support?
Not only that, but their speed was like a turtle compared to the Japanese fleet.
And, and, those cannons?
What was the meaning of this?
All the special codes were old country cannons.
Tidas just wanted to ask, could this special weapon fight the Japanese warships head-on?
Would they be wiped out in one wave?
The overall performance was a whole era away!
Feelings, after a long time.
The fleet that the system gave him was basically useless!
He had thought that he had changed his shotgun to a cannon, but now it seemed that he had just changed his shotgun to a rifle. He was still thousands of miles away from a cannon.
However, on second thought, Tidas had figured it out.
To put it bluntly, this was equivalent to a free fleet.
Besides, this was the condition of the Skull Island.
If the system really rewarded Tidas with some high-level warships, the current conditions of the Skeleton Island would not be able to produce them at all.
The wooden gunboat was still more practical. At the very least, as long as Tidas spent some Reputation Points and bought a craftsman, he could start building it.
Moreover, the construction period was short. Tidas did not need to wait too long before he could bring this fleet out to rob and speed up development.
So what if it was a wooden gunboat?
It was better than the three broken ships on the Skeleton Island.
After thinking this through, Tidas finally smiled again.
Who said that we have to fight the Japanese navy head-on just because we have a fleet?
Can't you fight as a guerrilla? Don't you know how to rob people on shore?
He wasn't stubborn. If he couldn't defeat them, then he wouldn't do it. When he had the resources and the new warships, it wouldn't be too late to fight the Japanese navy head-on.
Tidas was not a retard. No matter how capable he was, he would do as much as he could.
With this Asiben fleet, Tidas would be able to make many changes to the arrangements on the Skeleton Island in the future.
North Korea and the Japanese were quite far away. Not only was it a waste of time to go back and forth, but they might also encounter the Japanese navy.
There was no need to provoke them, but they could still go to TW Island and Ryukyu Island for a while.
What did Tidas do?
Wasn't it just pirates?
What were pirates for?
Wasn't that just snatching!
They robbed money, food, and equipment!
As long as the Asben Fleet was built.
The Skeleton Island did not have it, but the Japanese had it. Tidas could go and snatch it!
"System, how many reputation points do I need to build the craftsmen for the Asyben fleet?”
"Ding! System Message: If the host wants to rent the Asben Fleet, it will only cost 5,000 Reputation Points. If the host wants to buy it, it will cost 50,000 Reputation Points!”
"Ding, I suggest that the host choose to purchase it permanently. After all, once the craftsmen are purchased, they can serve the host forever. In the future, when building other warships, these craftsmen can also be used.”
50,000 Reputation Points…
It was really expensive!
However, what the system said was not without reason. These craftsmen would not be useless in the future.
He might as well buy it. After all, he still had a lot of time to build ships in the future.
They could also maintain the warship during normal times.
"Alright, System. I choose to purchase these craftsmen permanently.”
"Ding! System Message: Reputation points have been successfully deducted. The host has successfully purchased a Blacksmith!”
"Ding! Please note that the craftsman that the host has purchased will appear as an escaped worker from a shipyard occupied by the Japanese in China.”
"Ding, it is recommended that the host send a ship to receive them. These craftsmen bring their own shipbuilding equipment. If the host does not receive them in time and the shipbuilding equipment is lost, the system will not be responsible.”
Tidas nodded. The system's arrangement was considered reasonable.
After all, a group of craftsmen couldn't just fall from the sky.
Moreover, it was a craftsman with a large amount of shipbuilding equipment.
Wouldn't that scare someone to death!
Of course, Tidas still had many things to do, but he did not have the time to personally pay attention to the craftsmen and the construction of Astriben's fleet.
Therefore, this matter was left to Liu Hao to manage.
If he wanted to build a ship, there was another prerequisite, and that was resources!
So what if it was a wooden gunboat?
It required resources to build.
Not to mention other things, at least the area in front of the Skeleton Island required a large amount of high-quality firewood, steel, copper, and other materials!
Therefore, to Tidas, planning for the future was the most important thing.
It didn't matter if they were to log in to rob, search for fat sheep on the sea, or even send people to buy supplies directly.
However, no matter what, Tidas had to come up with a plan.
