With Lin Ze's prestige as the foundation, the reform of craftsmen was implemented quite smoothly.Although many people thought that it was unreasonable to put weak craftsmen in high positions, under Lin Ze's strong push, these voices finally failed to make any waves, and soon disappeared.Under the temptation of power and status, many Hailin people who were not qualified, were destined to have no future in terms of force, and could not become warriors, turned to craftsmen.In just four or five days, there were more than 2,000 more apprentices in the tribe.This is also because of the strict control of the three craftsmen.Otherwise, that number could have quadrupled!
With so many people joining, the manpower suddenly became abundant.The day after obtaining the drawings, the three master craftsmen began the great shipbuilding business with 200 craftsmen, 300 apprentices, and thousands of soldiers who served as temporary laborers.With the support of extraordinary powers, the shipbuilding process proceeded very quickly.Except for the occasional mistakes and omissions due to the fact that I was not familiar with the first shipbuilding, the whole process was basically very smooth.It only took twenty-five days for the first warship of the Hailin tribe to be built and launched in the harbor outside Dawn City.Before that.The Hailin tribe only had experience in operating fishing boats, and had never operated large ships.Although Lin Ze had already collected the corresponding information in advance and transferred it to the Linghua script, he asked Wo Wu to transfer hundreds of soldiers with quick hands and feet and clever personalities to study and practice for a period of time in advance.But when they actually stepped on the ship and began to sail, these people still seemed to stumble and make a lot of mistakes.It took nearly half a day, and the warship finally sailed around Giant Whale Island for a week without danger, during which there were basically no major problems except for mistakes caused by unskillfulness.When the ship returned to the harbor and anchored, all the high-ranking tribal officials and craftsmen who watched cheered loudly.The cheers of the mountains and the tsunami resounded over the harbor in an instant!
Lin Ze looked at the warship not far away with a smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction.The successful launch and sailing of the first warship means that the formation of the fleet of the Hailin tribe has officially taken the first step!
The next thing to do is to continue to build new warships and train more naval soldiers.The drills of the warships could not be left behind.I believe that it won't be long before the Hailin tribe will be able to have a real sea hero!"
Pass my order that the craftsmen who have performed well in this shipbuilding process will be given corresponding positions according to the size of their contributions, and the three chief craftsmen will negotiate and decide, and the list will be given to me later."
Lin Ze commanded towards Wowu."
In addition, all craftsmen and apprentices involved in shipbuilding should be rewarded, and it is up to you to arrange the details.""
Yes, Lord Master!"
Wo Wu replied respectfully."
All artisans will appreciate your generosity and kindness!"
Lin Ze smiled slightly, and looked at the cheering and boiling crowd in the port with far-reaching eyes."
I just fulfilled my promise!"
Soon.As the command of the controller spread, the cheers of the port suddenly rose again. ......Time flies.Half a year has passed since Lin Ze brought back the shipbuilding drawings.A week after the successful launch of the first warship and the voyage around the island, the craftsmen who had tasted the sweetness exploded with great enthusiasm and devoted themselves more actively to the great cause of shipbuilding.It took only twenty-two days for the second ship to be built.And as they become more proficient, the time it takes to build a warship becomes shorter and shorter.The construction of the fifth warship even took only seventeen days.Since then, it has been at this rhythm steadily.During this time, a new dock was built near the city of Hellin, near the edge of the island, under the leadership of the three master craftsmen.The completion of the second dock greatly accelerated the shipbuilding speed of the Hailin tribe.Half a year later, the Hailin tribe already had fifteen warships.The fleet is already formed!
According to practical exercises, each warship can carry 1,000 people according to its configuration.This is the right number of people for a ship to maximize its combat power in naval battles.Of course, regardless of comfort, if it is purely used to transport troops, it can carry up to 3,000 people.Lin Ze specially formed a naval corps for this purpose.About 20,000 members!
After half a year of training, this naval corps has basically adapted to sea navigation and is able to control warships relatively proficiently.As for the naval battle aspect.At the moment, the legion has only simulated battles against each other on weekdays.They haven't gone through a real naval battle, and they don't know how much combat power they can exert for the time being.Besides.After planting most of the suitable arable land on the entire Giant Whale Island with excellent rice and harvesting it smoothly, the Hailin tribe completely lost its worries about food.As a result, the number of hunters began to be drastically reduced, and more adult men were recruited into the army.Just half a month ago, the Fifth Army was officially formed.So far.The Hailin tribe has five major legions, each of which is 100,000 troops, with a total of 500,000 troops.In addition, after half a year, the number of other regiments also increased.The most obvious are the Eight-Legged Cavalry Regiment and the Red Armor Cavalry Regiment.The number of both cavalry regiments was increased to 10,000.The Guards Regiment has not changed much, it is still 20,000 men.Generally.The current total strength of the Hailin tribe's army is as high as 560,000!
Compared with the size of the population of 920,000, the military potential can be said to be tapped to the extreme.If the number of troops increases, it will affect the normal functioning of the tribe.- Unless the size of the population increases further!
It's a pity.The fertility and growth laws of Linghua people are similar to those of human beings, at most, the fertility cycle is shorter, and the growth rate of children is faster.Other than that, it doesn't make much difference.In other words.At least for the next few years, the population size of the Hailin tribe will not grow too significantly.- unless there is a war!
In the past six months, Lin Ze has sent pet beasts to patrol and explore the nearby waters every day.Just in case the blood scorpion tribe's fleet suddenly appeared and caught them off guard.However, half a year has passed.The fleet of the Hailin tribe has been established, but the fleet of the blood scorpion tribe has never been a shadow.After interrogating Caro, Lin Ze suddenly realized.Actually, the reason is very simple.That is, the shipbuilding technology of the Blood Scorpion Tribe is far inferior to that of the Hailin Tribe.According to Caro, although he didn't pay much attention to shipbuilding, he also knew that it would take at least a month for the tribe to build a warship.And the Blood Scorpion Tribe only has two docks.In this case, it would take at least eight months to rebuild the fleet of fifteen ships that had fallen in the storm!
That's still a quick estimate!
So for at least three months, there is no need to worry about the fleet of the Blood Scorpion Tribe appearing near Giant Whale Island.This made Lin Ze breathe a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.It is naturally a good thing for the Hailin tribe to have more time for development.But there was no war, and the Hailin tribe could not grow quickly.It's really paradoxical....coM shook his head, and Lin Ze came to the front of the totem pole.In the past six months, the totem pole has accumulated a lot of faith power.Although it took a lot to form the Fifth Army and the Naval Corps, the rest was considerable.Taking advantage of the fact that the fleet of the Blood Scorpion Tribe has not yet appeared, Lin Ze is ready to use part of the power of faith to improve the growth of pet beasts.
