"I want you to do it. www!qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo!comI have already told you that Jin has no other way." Jason thought, and Xinjin warned again: "Try not to go before you become a magician. To provoke the Holy See
Saleen nodded. He understood what the teacher meant. After becoming a seventh-level mage, Mage Boom would be able to fly freely. Level 6 magicians can also fly and bomb, but their flying range and height are very limited. If you become a seventh-level magician, Todoroki can still run away as long as you don't fall into the enemy's trap and can't defeat him.
Saleen can now fly gold, but the height and speed he can fly are not as high as Rex Boom, let alone compared to the Wizard. Jason was worried that Salin would go to the Holy See for trouble because he thought he could fly.
The battleship on Srig Island is 100 meters long and must be activated by a magician. Jason assigned Salin a level 5 mage to attack a level 4 mage and six level 3 mages on each ship. Even traveling day and night was no problem. If this battleship were built by the nobles of the Qin Yin Empire, it would have cost over a million gold coins.
A war horse is only a dozen gold coins, and the cost of building this warship can buy 100,000 war horses. It can be said that the fleet is the most expensive army. And like the cavalry troops, the cavalry horses consume fodder. Magically powered battleships require magic cores. The usual maintenance cost is no lower than that of the cavalry.
This is not even the most expensive battleship. Yunliu's main battleship is over two hundred meters long and costs over ten million gold coins. There is only one huge empire that can afford such a fleet, and ordinary nobles can only look back and sigh.
Salin arrived at three warships at once, and he felt quite like a nouveau riche. The hidden propellers of the warships started to move, and they slowly sailed out from the gate of Srig Island to bombard the pirate ship. At this time, they slowly rowed out from the rocks. . Saleen asked Rex to take Nailis to get the Tortoise Alchemy Ship.
Rex boarded the pirate ship and found out that the alchemy ship had been sunk to the bottom of the sea by pirates. Fortunately, Saleen had made a careful calculation. The sea water near the island was very shallow. Rex returned to the battleship, took six third-level magicians with him, dived into the seabed and bombarded the Pan Turtle alchemy ship and started moving directly. Jin followed Saleen. fleet.
The speed of the magic battleship can be increased to eighty miles during battle. The usual cruising speed is about fifty miles. It was a bit difficult for the pirate ship to follow behind, and the Turtle Alchemy Ship could only barely maintain this speed underwater! Note: The magicians who boarded the Pan Turtle alchemy ship were very excited. Srig Island also tried to create underwater warship bombardments, but there were always various problems that could not be solved. For example, the bombardment and the ability of the warships to withstand underwater The most troublesome thing is the lifespan problem. If you want underwater warships to last for several years or even hundreds of years like surface ships, the cost of building them will be ridiculously high.
If the cost is high. Srig Island can also withstand the bomb. Normal maintenance is the most troublesome thing. The magicians on Srig Island have calculated that the cost of building a thirty-meter-long underwater battleship is higher than that of a main battleship, and the maintenance cost is ten times that of a main battleship.
Therefore, there are only a few underwater boats more than ten meters long on Sreige Island. Most of the time, ships like this are parked in the port and are in danger when encountering monsters in the sea. They can only patrol near the islands and cannot sail into the deep sea. The hull of the Tortoise Alchemy Ship is made directly from the shell of an adult Tortoise, which is stronger than most metals. The weight is less than half that of metal. There are many crystals inlaid on the outside of the hull. Behind the crystals are magic arrays. Inside the Pan Turtle alchemy ship, you can see the magic image outside. The four sets of magic-powered paddles have separate alchemy cabins, but two of them were damaged. It doesn't affect progress.
The magic array in the core control cabin can change the weight of the Pan Turtle alchemy ship. If you want to float to the surface, you need to consume a lot of magic cores. Just move forward horizontally! Consumption is reduced
many.
Salin stayed on the flagship. Because he left in a hurry, he had not yet counted the personnel on the battleship. After taking stock, he realized that what he had thought was too simple. Those pirates really didn't have much combat power. The equipment on these three hundred-meter warships was what he wanted.
The operation of the magic battleship is easier than that of a sailboat, but there are more than ninety sailors, divided into three groups and rotating day and night. The alchemy machinery that actually drives the warship forward is the energy driven by the magic core. Without the magician to bombard the warship, it would become an island floating on the sea and it would be impossible for the warship to move forward at all.
There are more than 200 warriors on the battleship. Salin looked at the roster. The standard equipment is 500. Srig Island cannot provide that many swordsmen. With more than 200 people, one ship can barely maintain its combat effectiveness.
besides. There are also more than a dozen alchemy apprentices on each ship. These apprentices work with the swordsmen to control the magic stone to bombard the magic alchemy crossbow, as well as some ordinary magic circles. The four-story battleship was full of more than 800 people, but now it only had more than 300 people. It seemed empty.
The weapons on the battleships are also very different from those on the land. The long guns are more than seven meters long, and most of the short weapons are weapons and easy to maintain. There are no wooden compound bows, all are metal crossbows equipped with ratchets. These metal crossbows are made of high-grade materials and are not easily corroded by the humid air at sea. Maintenance is relatively easy.
There is also a simple puppet "Hang" on the ship, which allows the magic apprentice to control "Hang" to help the sailors clean the deck and other tasks. Each warship is also equipped with multiple speedboats and icehouses in the bottom, which can store a large amount of fresh fish, fresh water, etc. Sailors do not live in the bottom cabin. Instead, they live on the first floor like all soldiers. The bottom cabin is occupied by a large number of alchemy machines. Apart from puppets, few people are seen.
Salin asked for the blueprint of the battleship and studied it carefully. He knew that it would be difficult to operate a magic battleship with those pirates.
However, most ships at sea cannot be driven by pure power like the battleships in Alchemy City. It is too expensive. The pirates may not have this use in the future.
Finished studying the structure of the battleship. Saleen began to identify the personnel on the battleship. There is a magic image on the roster, and the details of each crew member are marked on it.
The magicians on Srig Island seem to be very experienced in managing warriors, and they don't look like magicians who don't understand the world at all. Five ships sailed all the way north. Every day, the magicians transmitted magical images through the magic circle and asked Salin for instructions. Salin just asked the warship not to stop and to go all the way to the north.
Despite the vastness of the ocean. Salin was still worried about the ships that encountered Yunliu. In terms of performance, the three warships he now had must be better than the bronze warships that attacked Sreig Island. Even if they were outnumbered, it wouldn't be a problem. What Salin was afraid of was that the giant battleship he had seen would bombard that battleship with too many magic stone cannons. The range would definitely be much further than those of Salin's ships. If he accidentally collided with it, the only result would be Being sunk.
In addition to determining the direction, the magic compass can also detect the enemy's situation at a distance of no less than forty miles. After discovering each other at a distance of forty miles, Yunliu's giant battleship would definitely send flying bombers to slow down the escape of Salin's fleet. At that time, even if they disperse and escape, at least one ship will be sunk by the Yunliu giant ship.
Therefore, Salin did not dare to make any stops and did not approach the coast of Qin Yin. He just moved forward in the deep sea.
Every day, apart from practicing, Saleen would open the city structure drawings that Jason gave him in his cabin and study them carefully. After studying for several days, Salin finally figured out some clues. Whether it is Holy Rock City, Alchemy City, or the city designed by Jason, they are essentially a complete and huge magic circle.
The city designed by Jason is much smaller than both Holy Rock City and Alchemy City, but the principle is the same. The outstanding thing about the city designed by Jason is that it relies on thirty-six magic towers to form a huge magic network. It not only increases the power of these thirty-six magic towers, but also bombards every magic in the area controlled by these magic towers. The master is equivalent to standing in his own magic tower.
Jason used the magic tower to weave a magic web that enveloped the entire city. In this city, the consumption of all magic equipment used by Todoroki has been reduced to a minimum, and the power has been increased several times.
The only flaw in this city is that if Todoroki wants to achieve the effect of this design, there can never be less than thirty-six magicians in the city.
There are only thirty-three magicians on Srig Island, and Holy Rock City may be able to gather thirty-six, but those magicians will not belong to the same force. If you want to build a city as huge as Holy Rock City. And to achieve this effect, at least more than a hundred magicians are needed.
Only when Qin was founded was it possible for so many magicians to obey the orders of one person. Today's Myers continent is full of serious disputes within the Holy See, so it is impossible to build such an ideal city.
This city was clearly designed for Srig Island, Salin finally understood. Only the magicians on Srig Island are so united that there is still hope to gather thirty-six magicians.
The teacher is really calculating. Even if Rex builds this city, if he wants to fully unleash the city's combat effectiveness, he still has to rely on the power of Stenger Island.
But Rex is not at a disadvantage. This drawing is not a one-time use. Once you build one Rex, you can build a second one. And with experience, Rex will save a lot of money and time when building a second magic city. Compared with Holy Rock City, the construction cost of this city is much lower.
At least Salin would dare to try to build this kind of city, but Holy Rock City cannot be copied. Thinking of the towering black walls of Holy Rock City and the huge magic clocks all over the city, Salin knew that his power was too weak. It makes sense for the teacher to avoid people from the Holy See.
.
The straight-line distance to the north from Srig Island to Phoenix was over ten thousand miles. Salin's fleet also took a detour, requiring a sea route of more than fourteen thousand miles to reach it. The fleet moves at a speed of fifty miles every day, and more than a thousand miles a day. Even in this way, it took more than half a month of walking before Salin saw the mainland of Myers.
To be precise, this is not Lu Di Hong, but an island rising outside Lu Di. These islands are composed of tall and steep rocks. Only plants grow in the gaps in the rocks. It is almost winter now, and the sea breeze is blowing into the eyes. Apart from the black and cyan rocks, there are withered yellow vegetation.
"Find a suitable place to dock first. Salin gave orders to the three warships. There is no natural harbor here. If he wants to build a city by the sea, Jin still needs him and Rex to choose a location. Salin is in a good mood. . He had experienced the smoothest journey in the past half month since he left Ceylon City. He had not encountered Yunliu's ship, had not been attacked by powerful monsters, and had not encountered a storm. Perhaps this heralded a good start.
Note: I have written some issues about the speed of flag ships. Please do not delve into it. The speed of modern flag ships can reach thirty-five knots, which is approximately seventy kilometers per hour. The materials in the wizarding world are much stronger than reality. Magicians themselves are equivalent to technicians. It is theoretically possible to create a ship equivalent to a modern sailboat. It only takes five days for the latest designed sailboat to cross the Atlantic. A magic ship will not be too slow. Basically, when these things come up, I will look up some real-life information and deal with them. I won’t make things in the magical world too outrageous.
