Extraordinary Sailing

It seems to be sparkling, but the temper is not much better than the Treasure Sea of ​​the Black Sea.

A fleet of 23 large and small ships, mainly battleships, braved the wind and waves in a double column formation, heading south along the established route.

It’s just that the flag flying on the mast is obviously not from one family. The fleet is dominated by Phalitis and Tyro, with flags of Palos, Thessaly, and Tulip Principality scattered here and there.

On the surface, it looks mighty and majestic, but it can't help but have a sense of sight of a motley army.

Because this time the opponent is not pirates, but Cyrus, the world's most powerful country.

The high-level members of the alliance know very well that sending low-level warships to participate in the battle is just a delivery, so they have launched all their war potential, but the battleships that can be dispatched in a short period of time are basically here.

The Tulip Alliance is located in an archipelago consisting of six island countries, unlike those land-based countries, which have a vast continent as a depth. Everything they have comes from the ocean, and they can only rely on the ocean.

Therefore, the alliance's will to develop the navy and maritime trade is also the most resolute, especially Phalatis, whose national strength is booming.

However, even though Phalitis, who is number one in the alliance, already has great ambitions to replace them, the gap between them and the number one power is still obvious.

Not only is there a gap in the number of ordinary battleships, but also quasi-legendary battleships of top power.

Although Sirius's colony in the southern continent is not that big, but because of the rich mineral and vegetation resources, there are two quasi-legendary ships sitting in it all year round. As for the entire six countries of the Tulip Alliance, there are only two ships in the Southern Continent, the "Northern Cold Wind" and the "Five-Masted Peak".

Therefore, for them, this is a war that can only be won but not lost. The Sirius family may be able to afford to lose, but they simply cannot afford to lose.

If it fails, the navy as the kingdom's barrier will go back at least ten years, and it may even be decades later, and there will be no chance to shake Cyrus' sea power throne.

at this time.

As the flagship and lead ship, "Long Tail Sparrow" third-class ship.

The most experienced navigator uses sextants, nautical chronometers, compasses, charts and other navigation tools to accurately determine the route from time to time to ensure that the fleet will not deviate.

Although the celestial phenomena in Zhenbao Sea are equally dangerous, due to generations of navigators who have sacrificed their lives, two hundred years after the great voyage started, the navigation between the two continents has become very common.

However, the route from the countries of the Tulip Alliance to the Southern Continent cannot bypass Ilia no matter what, let alone the Garriott family who opened up this route.

In other words, the current Phalitis Garriott family is more suitable.

With the fame of the Brigadier General Garrett.

That name that seems to have been buried in history, apart from the scholars and professors buried in piles of old papers, the adventurers and navigators who fought in unknown regions, is also known to everyone in the navy of the Kingdom of Phalatis. .

In particular, the navigator who also came from the First Fleet of the Kingdom of "Newing Port" is very clear about this. And he also knew that the passengers who boarded the ship before the fleet set off had a lot to do with Garriott, but

"Oh, what a pity, Colonel Geer."

Putting down the brass binoculars in his hand, the weather-stained old officer couldn't help sighing even though he had been through battle for a long time.

At the center of the fleet is a large supply ship.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters directly above the supply ship, a huge albatross with a wingspan of nearly ten meters circled the fleet like a small plane.

chatter chatter

On the supply ship, six pure white seagulls, which were much larger than ordinary seagulls, stood in a row on the yard of the mainmast.

On the deck below their feet, a girl in a long white dress with a clean and ethereal temperament, like a spring, slowly withdrew her slender right hand that was shining with white light.

"Alive, Bubba is alive!"

"Long live Miss Angie!"

"."

Watching the companions lying on the deck slowly open their eyes, the sailors around couldn't help cheering. He was suffering from burning pain, vomiting, convulsions, heart palpitations, reddened skin, and being half-drowsy just now, but now he has fully recovered consciousness.

Based on their experience, it takes less than three minutes to die from acute visceral failure after being stung by a blue-bearded jellyfish. And three minutes can't wait for the clerics on the third-tier battleship next to him to treat him.

If it wasn't for the young girl's action, Babu would surely die.

"Let him drink more water these two days, there won't be any sequelae."

The girl's voice was also like a mountain spring, sweet and refreshing, but not cold at all.

"Okay, thank you Miss Angie."

The crew thanked the girl a thousand times, even the captain and first officer on the supply ship who thought they were about to experience non-combat attrition were no exception.

"You're welcome, I still need your care for the rest of the journey."

As a born white witch, she possesses three talents: holy, healing, and animal friendly. Animal bites and stings are completely easy for An Qi.

"Should be, should be, if you need anything on board, just say it."

In a fleet, ships may join the battle at any time. So after receiving the notice to go to the Southern Continent to see Geer for the last time, Davely and her party were arranged on this supply ship located in the middle of the fleet.

Da da da.

When the girl turned around, her white skirt swirled like a water lotus flower.

The crew watched her walk into the cabin with the best living conditions on the aft deck, still admiring her. If it wasn't for not wearing religious robes and holy emblems, they would even think that she was a saint of the church.

Walking into the poop, An Qi's eyes drooped slightly, and she walked lightly.

Through the round window, she could see Elantra in a crumpled shirt, unkempt and silently practicing sword in the small cabin.

Gritting his teeth, his face was cold and hard, as if facing an invisible enemy, he used all his strength with every sword strike.

Where does he still look like a sophomore in the past?

In the cabin next door, Davely, who had put away all her gorgeous clothes, sat by the porthole and quietly watched the sea.

These days, she has lost a lot of weight, her shoulders are thin, and even her chin, which is slightly affluent because of the good life, has become a little tapered.

But since receiving the news of Geer's accident, Davely has not cried from the beginning to the end, but in the eyes of An Qi, this situation is more worrying than crying.

Obviously, this sudden change has changed this originally warm home a lot.

‘An Qi, the teacher and Uncle Geer are not here, you have to be strong and take good care of your aunt! '

Biting her sakura-colored lower lip, An Qi felt equally uncomfortable, holding a bouquet of tulips that she had spawned using witchcraft, pushed the door and walked in.

"Auntie! Look, what is this?"

After beheading the steel knight and returning to "Treasure Tree Bay", nearly another week passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

The "horn of the storm" still hadn't arrived. Milan sent a message through the messenger of the spirit world that they encountered a hurricane halfway and delayed the trip, and it might take two days.

On the contrary, the manufacture of electromagnetic weapons on Aiwen's side has gradually taken shape.

The best choice is "magnetite". As a crystallization of civilization, it is obviously not so easy to crack.

Even with the addition of Olivia, an official wizard of the Gem School, and the premise that some technical materials have been harvested in the city, replicating magnetite in the material world is not an overnight process.

After all, Ivan's thinking is still a little simple.

However, it was not completely fruitless, and the two worked together to create a transitional product.

Among natural gemstones, gemstone minerals belonging to the hexagonal crystal system like magnetite include apatite, beryl and beryl.

With the help of the intuition of a gemological wizard, Olivia successfully reproduced some of the functions of the "magnetic stone" by using the light blue "aquamarine" in the beryl as a substitute.

It is considered to have produced a "super battery" with extremely high energy storage efficiency. Although it does not have unlimited energy, it is enough for the electromagnetic weapons currently produced by Ivan, but he needs to store energy for the "battery" in advance.

With this "extraordinary battery" as the core, Aiwen successfully produced the first prototype electromagnetic gun in the past few days.

The principle has long been clarified, and it is not difficult for a wizard with strong hands-on ability to turn theory into reality.

Aven initially had two options: electromagnetic railguns and coilguns.

Their principles vary.

The rail gun interacts with the magnetic field and the electric current to generate a strong ampere force to push the projectile and reach a very high speed (theoretically it can reach sub-light speed)

The coil gun uses multi-stage accelerating coils, and the magnetic field of the induced current interacts with the magnetic field of the accelerating coil current to generate Lorentz force, which accelerates the projectile and launches it.

In comparison.

The guide rails of railguns are subject to severe ablation, requiring replacement after a certain number of launches. And even if friction is ignored, because of energy efficiency, the conversion of electrical energy and kinetic energy can only reach about 35%-50%.

However, the coil gun can avoid the mechanical contact between the projectile and the barrel through the magnetic levitation technology, which avoids the generation of frictional resistance. In theory, a coilgun can reach 100% of its potential, almost twice as efficient as a railgun.

Moreover, the [Abstruse Coil Gun] that Ivan has already used is also the technology of the latter.

Although the structure is relatively complicated, he finally chose the "coil gun" as his first electromagnetic gun.

That is to say [Supermand Armed Electromagnetic Gun 1.0] can be carried on the ship and held in hand (limited to Tier 3 Transcendent and above)

Because there is no need to consider the problem of carrying, it looks like a huge revolving cannon. There are fine blue runes on the silver-white cannon. The caliber is 23mm. The barrel is four meters long and has ring-shaped golden external magnets.

Considering factors such as electrical conductivity, difficulty of obtaining, and plasticity, the main material used in this electromagnetic gun is sterling silver, which has been enchanted by alchemy to further change its physical properties.

When the Golden Post Road was looted before, there were still a lot of silver ingots left in their hands as ritual materials, more than enough to make a cannon.

The end is inlaid with a hexagonal crystal column "aquamarine" battery that was obtained from Olivia.

At the same time, as a plug-in, there is also a pair of wrist guards connected with countless wires, which can be manually operated at critical moments.

And in order to increase the initial velocity, he used every conceivable method.

External parallel uniform magnetic field: A horseshoe magnet mechanism with an iron core is added outside the gun barrel to allow the projectile to obtain a larger accelerating magnetic field.

Growth track: because the end kinetic energy is proportional to the square root of the track length.

Use a lightweight projectile: With the same kinetic energy, the terminal velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the projectile mass.

For railguns that require power, there are two main types of ammunition, the inert metal nullifier and the active nullifier technology.

Inert metal damage elements mainly include aluminum, steel, tungsten, etc., and can only destroy targets by virtue of the kinetic energy of high-speed flight.

The active damage element technology not only has the mechanical strength similar to metal, but also contains chemical energy equivalent to high-energy explosives, and has similar safety to inert materials. It will only explode after hitting the target at high speed.

In theory, it is the highest quality electromagnetic gun shell.

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to create active damage elements!"

After comprehensive consideration, Aiwen finally chose the enchanted aluminum bullet with lighter weight as the main ammunition of the electromagnetic gun, which is matched with tungsten steel.

Even with alchemy, aluminum that needs to be electrolytically extracted is a precious metal comparable to gold and silver in this era, but in fact it is the metal element with the highest content in the earth's crust.

In the future, others may think that each shot of [Electromagnetic Gun] is extremely expensive and has great restrictions, but for Aiwen, it is actually the price of cabbage.

So, after creating a big killer, he discovered a way to get rich again.

There are many ways to get rich, so let's leave him alone for now.

As people who also love guns, Ivan and Olivia fumbled around this silver-white machine gun that combined their skills and wisdom, and they really couldn't put it down.

With everything in place, they only have one problem left:

"Who should I give this freshly baked fiery first shot?"
