Chapter 91 The Iron Behemoth

After I got into the water, I realized how stupid this decision was. The canal was no better than the sea. So many warships were moving here and rolling the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, and they couldn't see anything at all! I really couldn't climb back to the shore. In the surprised eyes of the local players watching around me, I opened the space door leading to the Earth God's Place. "A Dina, go into the water with me! Ling! Look at the gate and don't let people go in!" I don't want anyone to enter the Earth God's Temple because of curiosity!

After taking Adina into the water again, I asked Adina to use sonar to navigate, and directly asked her to present the sonar image in my brain, so that I could also know the situation around me! The mud and sand also interfere with the sonar, but the distance is so close, and the sonar of Adina's biological is very accurate, I can barely see the three-dimensional scan picture at the bottom of the water!

The shipwreck was not far from us, and it looked quite small, about half the length of the Biling. We fumbled to the edge of the wreckage, and Adina touched the hull with her hands and then knocked. "Master, this is a metal ship!"

I also touched it. "It's true, and it's a solid steel plate!" This is a real iron-clad ship, which is different from a warship like the Biling, which has wood inside and metal inside and outside!

After the Biling was towed away, the mud and sand were quickly washed away. This was a passage connecting the two seas. The water flowed very quickly. Without the stirring of the warships, the water immediately became clear! Finally, I saw the whole picture. It was indeed an iron-clad ship, and the shape was quite modern. It was simply an advanced modern warship! It seemed that this was not a local ship, and I thought I had seen the branded national flag on the hull! This was a French ship!

"Let's go in and have a look?" Adina suggested.

"OK!"

Adina hugged me behind me and took me to swim into the boat through the big hole on the boat. As a mermaid, Adina was much faster underwater speed than me! The boat only sank last night, and there was no water plants or anything like that. The cabin was quite clean. After walking around a few cabins, we finally reached the bottom of the boat. What surprised us was that the boat used a thruster! Otherwise, the hull was similar to a modern warship. I wondered why I didn’t see the sails, but now I understand!

Adina is an expert in water propellers, and she can understand it at a glance. She briefly checked and said to me: "The power is not high, and the speed is not high, so it should not be fast! Moreover, this thing does not seem to have waterproof function. If the cabin enters water, it will stop operating!"

"Fortunately, it's just a junk!" I don't want others to have propellers of the same level as us! "Let's go somewhere else to take a look!"

After checking all the cabins that can be entered, we found an ammunition depot. There were many shells, but they were all relatively backward! I found the turret on the deck and picked a relatively complete cannon to check it out. The cannon seemed to be advanced than ours!

After the entire ship was studied, the conclusion was: the structure and material technology of European warships were ahead of Asia, and they could build all-metal warships that we could not build. Europeans also had advantages in cannon manufacturing, and the cannons on this ship were advanced than mine. However, Europeans were not advanced in everything. The gunpowder in Europe was not powerful enough, but the cannons were very advanced. The artillery technology in Asia was backward, but the shells were powerful! In terms of two aspects, it is estimated that the power of the artillery should be similar to that of the Europeans! The thruster technology in this wreckage should be more powerful so far! If the thruster in this wreckage represents the level of the thruster in Europe, then I think the speed of the European warship should not be much faster! With the above conclusion, I understand why Ashufude asked me to buy gunpowder technology. It turns out that the problem is here!

After researching, I began to consider how to understand the obstacles. The ship was very large and had a metal hull. Although the shell was not as thick as the shell of the Biling, it might be stronger than that of the Biling! It is unrealistic to blow up such a ship, and the only way is to drag it away! Fortunately, there is buoyancy in the water, and as long as it does not leave the surface of the water, the warship is not very heavy. I called down the three-headed dragon and the little dragon girl, and carried the wreckage without much effort. I moved the battleship to the Red Sea and found a deep water area to put it down. It was easy to get it done!

The repair of the Bilingo was simply handled, as long as it did not affect the navigation. Anyway, the entrance of the cave is underwater and does not affect the battle. Just bask in the moon tonight!

The fleet finally passed the Suez Canal in a mighty manner. After entering the Mediterranean, I dispersed the pirate fleet. This is the birthplace of my pirate brothers. They all have many old subordinates here. Let them disperse them to find all the old subordinates. These pirates can greatly increase their naval combat power!

There was nothing to do during the day today, so I could only go offline to the base and continue to familiarize myself with the characteristics of B13. At 3 pm, the fleet should be about to reach Gibraltar, so I quickly went online! I appeared in the cabin and looked outside through the porthole, but was startled by the situation outside. There were many more ships around the Biling.

"You're here!" Su Mei suddenly ran in.

"What's going on?" I pointed to the various types of ships outside. There are all kinds of ships around us, and there are even many fishing boats!

"It was brought back by your pirate little brothers!"

"Boss!" Rona walked in as she said.

"Is this what you brought back?"

"Not all! Some were brought back by polar bears!" (The polar bear is the new leader of the Russian pirate)

"What are these?"

"Last time we went to Asia to negotiate, we took all the elites out. The rest were all old women and children. It would be nice to find these ships!"

Rona said the same thing! The last time they came out, they took all the elites away, and then they stayed in Asia and troubled the Japanese. Of course, they would not find any good fleet when they came back!

"But!" Rona continued suddenly: "We brought back something you like!"

"What?"

Rona took me out of the cabin and came to the cabin on the side of the opposite ship, and then pointed out: "That!"

I followed her fingers and saw a wall! There was a silver-white wall outside the porthole of the Biling! I couldn't see clearly through the small porthole, so I quickly ran to the deck. Now I saw clearly! The one next to us was a giant floating object, saying it was a floating object mainly because this thing seemed to have no power. In front of this silver-white object were all our modified warships pulling it forward! 500 warships were traction one thing, you can imagine it was huge! From me, this thing was simply an island floating on the sea!

"This...this...this...this..." He was so excited that he stuttered a little! "What the hell is this?"

"Our trophy!" Rona said proudly: "This morning we met our mortal enemy again - the Fierce Wind Pirates! I joined forces with the Polar Bear to completely destroy this group! It's so satisfying to say that we have always been mortal enemies with the Fierce Wind Pirates before, but both sides are equal in strength and have never been able to gain any advantage. Instead, they have lost a lot of people in vain! This time we happened to join forces with the Polar Bear, and you have helped us change into new cannons and thrusters, and easily settled the scumbags of Fierce Wind!"

"So how did this thing come about?"

"This is something we found at the Wind Pirates Base. I heard from the captives that the kingdoms on the shore have often sent troops to clear out the pirates' garrison recently, which made them uneasy. We happened to go to Asia, and the Wind Pirates dominated the Mediterranean and gained a lot of benefits. For the sake of long-term considerations, they decided to build a water city to bring all their families to the sea. So they spent all their savings to create this thing!"

"City on the Sea?" I looked at this thing again! "It really deserves its name!" The Biling, which is nearly 340 meters long, is already a giant among the warships. Although it is not as big as an aircraft carrier, it is already quite huge as a warship! But the Biling was parked by a torpedo boat next to this giant floating object like an aircraft carrier! "How big is this thing?"

"I'm not sure how long it is. I'll catch the captive designer and ask!"

"Okay, hurry up!"

Soon the designer was caught, this was an NPC, and it was European. "Are you the designer of this thing?"

"Yes!" Although this man looked very gentle, he was very brave. He actually broke away from the sailor behind him and stood up. "Also, don't call my baby 'this thing'! You can call her Noah!"

I'm dizzy! The legendary Noah's Ark doesn't refer to this one, right? "How long is this...Noah?"

"You mean structure data?"

"kindness!"

"The total length is 23,108.6 meters, the width is 2,607.9 meters, the draft is 297.7 meters when fully loaded, the water out of the ship is 207.1 meters, the height of the main command tower is 208 meters, and the mast is 278 meters!"

Oh my God! Is this a boat? It feels like an island! It’s not that it’s called a sea city, it’s really not an ordinary big one!

After digesting it for a while, I brought myself back to my senses from the excitement. "What power does this thing use? Is it sail or pulp? Or do you have a propeller?"

"The design is promoted using three powers combined, but there is nothing left in place for the time being! This is just an empty shell!"

"Empty shell?"

"There are no internal compartments, thrusters, plasters, sails, weapons and living areas that were originally to be installed! This thing has only made the support frame inside except the shell, and there is nothing else!"

There was nothing like this good thing. I was a little angry, and my tone of speaking was inevitable: "Why don't you pretend?"

As a result, the designer yelled back in a louder voice than me: "It's all because of you! If your fleet hadn't suddenly attacked, we were still building now!" His voice suddenly eased a little. "Can I ask how you plan to place Noah?"

"Of course I hope I can finish it! But…!"

"That's good!" The designer suddenly planned to say to me. "As long as you are willing to pay, I am willing to continue to serve you and complete her!"

"What?" The designer's reaction was beyond my expectations. "I attack you, don't hate me but want to help me build a ship?"

"Please figure out something! I am not a pirate! I am Luzo, the first Teutonic ship designer! I helped pirates design the ship because my design was not accepted by the state. During a voyage, the pirates attacked the ship I was riding. After seeing my design drawings, they actually wanted to build Noah. I have a way to fulfill my dreams, and of course I will not give up, so I helped design and build Noah. As long as you are willing to pay for me to complete my work, I don't care who you are!"

It turns out that this designer is German! No wonder he is so crazy about technology! Real scientists are like this. They only care about whether their works are perfect. As for what others use this thing, they are not what they have to consider, otherwise things like atomic bombs will not come out!

"How much does it cost to complete this thing?"

"I don't know this, and those pirates didn't ask! I can only list the materials needed, the prices and labor costs you can calculate yourself!"

"Okay!" I shook hands with him, and then said to the first mate behind me: "Take designer Luzzo to the VIP room to rest!"

After Luzo left, Rona and I came to Noah. After we got up, we found that the shape of this steel monster was designed according to the battleship! The entire hull was covered with the superstructure of the ship, and basically the base of the weapon platform. It seemed that the completion was quite high. Just install the cannons and you can complete it! I don’t know how many cannons a ship would need to be loaded! I guess if all of them were filled, he could pick a fleet of one ship!

Standing on the deck, I suddenly realized that maybe Noah could only become a super turret! Although the hull was designed according to the architectural style of the battleship, Noah was so huge that there were four hundred meters wide flat decks on both sides of the central superstructure area! What can a horizontal deck with a width of four hundred meters and tens of thousands of meters long be used for? I don’t need to explain it, right?

Although the superstructure was very satisfying to me, I was completely desperate after entering the cabin! There were several beams inside the command tower, and you could see from the top and bottom when standing on it. The inside of the hull was as Luzzo said, completely empty! There were some supporting structures in the huge hull, but the partitions between the cabins were not installed. You could see the stern from the bow, and the whole was empty!

"Boss! Are you here too?" Daguo Mi jumped over from the side. After a long time, everyone was there!

Rose came over and said, "What are you going to do with this thing?"

“Finish it!”

"I'll tell you in advance that the construction cost of this thing will not be cheaper than that of Aisinger!"

"I know! But considering its future combat effectiveness, I decided to complete it!"

"Actually, it won't cost much money to build it!" Su Mei suddenly walked in from behind. "You built the Biling at the beginning. That's because you rely entirely on purchasing, so you spend a lot of money, but now it's different! Luzzo is free labor, and the materials can be produced by Aisinger. Anyway, it's your own. Just calculate the cost fee! Besides, the shell part of the most wasted material of this thing has been completed, and the remaining projects won't require too much! As for the labor! Are there enough skeletons in the Mist Legion?"

"What I want to use in this way is the material fee!"

"Of course it's not just the material fee!" Su Mei continued: "The most expensive one is probably the cannon! Such a large warship full-equipped cannon is a waste, and the magic crystal cannon is too expensive. Do you think about how many cannons this ship can carry?"

Oh my God! It was already a sky-high price to install cannons for the Biling. This time, not only were there many, but they were all magic crystal cannons. What should I do!

"Actually, there are ways to save money!" Rose is worthy of being an economics student, and she is the best at doing business. "We can buy technology directly! Don't let the Dark Temple know that we have this big ship and need a lot of cannons, so that we can buy the design drawings of the Magic Crystal Cannon at a relatively cheap price, and then we can build it ourselves. I think the Magic Crystal Cannon is similar to the electronic products sold outside now. The material cost is very low, but the technology is expensive!"

"Let me say that first! The others will be talked about in the future!"

"Zi Ri! Come out quickly, we're in Gibraltar!" The King of Chuang suddenly shouted outside.

We quickly ran out, and after returning to the Biling, I took the telescope from the chief mate and looked at the sea ahead. I could clearly see a large number of flashing warships appearing in the strait in front. It seemed that this was the Empire Fleet! "Big mate! Let the fleet stop and standby, and Biling go there alone!"

The fleet stopped quickly, and our Biling drove alone. The Imperial fleet in front was lined up with two neatly long snake formations docked on the shore, which stretched for dozens of kilometers! As the distance approached, I could already see the whole picture of Gibraltar. According to the sea chart, this place is called Gibraltar in the game, without changing its name, but the terrain seems to have changed. The coasts on both sides of the Mediterranean are gradually gathered here, and finally a strait is only four or five kilometers wide at the estuary. The coasts on both sides of the strait are not sandy beaches but vertical cliffs. These cliffs are twenty or thirty meters high, and the top is completely flat. This terrain is simply the best place to set up a turret. Vertical cliffs can protect the turret from invasion by people, and the height of more than 20 meters creates a drop for the turret at the same turret, thereby increasing the range.

Now, without using anything at this distance, I can see the cannons shining with silver light on the cliffs on both sides. It seems that many of them are magic crystal cannons! With such a terrifying terrain and the turrets I think, let alone such a few ships, even if we have twice as many, we will definitely not be able to rush through!

But the reason why I dared to go here is to bet on how heavy the British see us! With the news of the attack on Indonesia that I released in advance, the British should know our combat effectiveness. They have almost understood the whole thing for more than a day. They should know that if they attack us, we will definitely fail, but the Imperial fleet will also turn from the world's first fleet into a small fleet that can be bullied by most fleets at will! It is still no problem if our firepower cannot be beaten and pull some back!

A warship that was not much smaller than the Biling in the fleet ahead also drove out. The flag bearer book was an envoy ship! The advanced warship slowly leaned up, and an authentic British knight appeared at the bow. When the two ships leaned together, he stood on the side of the ship and stretched out his hand to me!

The two warships are about the same height. Now they are leaning against each other, so we stand on their respective boats and shake hands across the ship's side.

"Hello, I am Ziri from China! This is my fleet!"

"Hello, I'm Baha, British. This is my Imperial fleet, and the guild belongs to is the Imperial Alliance!"

"Hello! Hello!"

We were bored and started to be polite, and then Baha said that we could pass and check his fleet by the way! Although I was a little worried, I still ordered the fleet to move forward. Anyway, I always had to pass, and I couldn't do anything about it! But I believe that the British would not want to fight me to the death. Even if they beat us, they would not get any benefits! And we have more confidence now than at the beginning, that is, the British did not know that Noah was empty. When Baha was polite with me just now, he wanted to mess with me many times, and he was very careful about this big guy I had never seen before! Anyway, I was playing Tai Chi with him, and I just didn't tell him what Noah was, but just kept hinting that he was our secret weapon! I believe that the British would not dare to fire randomly if they didn't understand the situation!
Chapter completed!
