Douluo starts with the Pea Shooter

After Lan Nuo got the mirror that he was almost satisfied with, he returned to reality. Another day had passed. Counting the time, it had been almost a year since he came to the New World. It was already spring, September of the year 2643 in the Douluo Calendar. In the original work, when Tang San joined Shrek Academy, two years later, there would be the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.

Theoretically, Lan Nuo is qualified to participate, but that is tantamount to ruining the show. If he dares to go, Wuhun Palace will dare to change the winner's reward to a piece of toilet paper, because it doesn't matter where the reward is placed. Whatever it is, it's all in Lan Nuo's pocket.

Now Lan Nuo has seen more clearly that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition is actually just a draft for all major forces in the entire continent to select newcomers. There is no glory at all. Even if they win the championship, no one will win it ten years later. remember you.

So he wasn't in a hurry to return to the mainland. Let's leave the competition to Tang San to show off! Lannuo wants to seize the more important wealth in the world, people and means of production!

Only after he truly started to develop his own power, Lan Nuo truly realized that money is nothing more than the credibility of the country. No matter how much you earn, if you cannot fundamentally improve the national strength and voice, it will only dilute the credibility of the country itself. ,Meaningless.

Therefore, what Lan Nuo wants is no longer a simple gold coin, but this requires him to master more industries related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as a route spanning two continents.

The wealth that ocean trade can bring has been proven countless times in history. The benefits that can be brought by controlling a route connecting two continents are enough to make a port city prosperous to the point of becoming richer than any other country.

Coincidentally, Lan Nuo is now confident that it controls the port cities on the two continents, so now is the time to open a route connecting the two continents.

Soul guidance technology has quickly improved the industrial system that was originally stuck. Especially the metal smelting technology has increased Douluo's original metal production efficiency by more than ten times. Ocean-going ships no longer need to use wooden sail warships. .

Warships made of metal keels can be built larger. Using coal-water slurry internal combustion engines can save space on the deck to accommodate more cargo and weapons.

A large number of soul guides are placed on the ship, most of which are detection equipment and mental power amplification equipment. With these devices, the warship can easily find and locate units several kilometers away using sonar and radar, and then guide them with one shot. Bounce over and directly kill the opponent remotely.

The most troublesome place for sea soul beasts. That is, they can run under the ship and cut through the bottom of the ship. This means that in theory, every ship must have a strong person on duty to deal with the approaching spirit beasts.

But after installing a more advanced detection system, no sea soul beast can get close at all, so there is no need to worry about the bottom of the ship being attacked.

Of course, there are still some guys who are good at diving among the sea soul beasts. Depth bombs cannot 100% eliminate them. Therefore, infrasound generators are placed at the bottom of the ship. Once there is a sneak attack by the sea soul beasts, these devices will It releases an impact like an infrasonic bomb, which is even more powerful than in the air. It directly penetrates the defense of the enemy's body and kills the organs in the body. The effect is extraordinary in actual combat testing. It can basically kill spirit beasts under ten thousand years old. A fatal blow.

Thousand-year soul beasts cannot survive in such an environment for a long time, and it is difficult to effectively damage ships. In addition, this is a range attack, so attacking in groups is useless.

Unless there is an organized and premeditated attack by the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, there is hope of posing a threat to such a ship.

This is basically the basic configuration of the Douming route escort formation. There are also artillery, but the purpose of the equipment is more to defend against hostile ships, and its ability to attack underwater targets is weak.

The escort formation is mainly divided into three types of ships. One is the command ship. There is usually only one ship, which is also the largest. The displacement can generally reach 10,000 tons. The main equipment it carries are sonar, radar, mental translator, and mental force. The amplifier, as well as the soul guide energy storage array, are responsible for reconnaissance and command, monitoring the sea conditions within a radius of fifteen kilometers centered on it, and providing guidance coordinates for other ships to attack.

The second type is the guided missile destroyer. The duty of this kind of warship is to release missiles and carry out precise bombing of the target area according to the guidance of the command ship.

The third type is small gunboats, which have many specifications. What they have in common is fast speed and strong maneuverability. Their usual task is to strike targets in high-speed moving target areas under the guidance of the command ship.

After all, missiles are very expensive. If you need to launch more than a dozen missiles in one voyage, then the ocean voyage will be a big loss. Facing some thousand-year-old spirit beasts, you can completely rely on these small gunboats to expel them at close range.

As for aircraft carriers, there is no such thing yet. Lan Nuo has not developed a cheap enough aircraft so far. Today, the industrial level of Xinhuo Camp cannot produce an aircraft that is completely separated from the soul guide. And if the aircraft cannot have Ordinary people can never reach the scale of ocean voyages when driven by ordinary people.

However, technological breakthroughs are only a recent thing. Compared with aircraft, what is more troublesome is actually submarines. This thing requires an extremely strong and airtight shell, as well as extremely flexible mobility underwater.

Its production is more difficult than on earth because the ocean is full of sea soul beasts. If a submarine wants to be effective, it must be better than these sea soul beasts in terms of performance.

At this time, even if there are submarines that can barely sail in the water, it is difficult to put them into actual combat. However, torpedoes have already made some progress. They can rely on the cavitation effect to maintain high-speed underwater navigation. Relying on the mental guidance system, they have gained an advantage over sea soul beasts in terms of range in the ocean.

However, torpedoes are not necessarily launched by submarines, which makes the progress of submarine research and development still as lame as before. If Lan Nuo wants to explore the deep sea, he still has a long way to go.

Now, the first route detection is about to begin, and Lan Nuo will return to Douluo with the fleet. After all, this time it is to open up a route, and there are still certain dangers in the process. In order to avoid encounters with the Sea Princess and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the fleet must pass through a soul beast settlement.

Moreover, every time the fleet goes back and forth, it will pass through this settlement. Lan Nuo has to go there in person to make the soul beasts in this settlement calm down and understand that they cannot sneak attack the passing human fleet.

The escort fleet surrounded the command ship and the flat-topped super freighter and left the port. The aboriginals of Dongda Port were stunned by this scene. Although the freighter was no match for the giants on Earth with hundreds of thousands of tons of displacement, the huge ship with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons, supported by a rare metal keel and piled with containers on the surface, still made people shout "WTF".

In fact, when this big guy just drove out of the dock, it once caused panic among the port residents, and some even thought that the deep-sea demon whale king came to attack the land.

Lan Nuo did not do anything to comfort this. With the continuation of the industrialization process, more and more new things have impacted the three views of the residents of Dongda Port again and again, which made them very receptive to new things. It won't take a few days for them to accept such an impact, and then they start to think about how to make money from these new things?

After all, now it is not just the Holy Dragon Empire, but the entire Sun and Moon Continent that knows that Dongda Port is full of gold, and selling tea eggs here can make a lot of money.

The fleet roared and left the port. Dongda Port, as the largest port on the eastern coastline of the Sun and Moon Continent, is a deep-water port with extremely good sea conditions. The fleet arrived in the deep ocean without any accidents during the journey.

The fleet, which has had experience once, can easily confirm its position in the ocean, and the measuring tools are not limited to the star-pulling disk and clock.

Today's Xinhuo Camp does not have the conditions to launch satellites, but it wants to determine the route for the subsequent channel. There is still a way to navigate.

That is to launch the signal generator to the bottom of the sea, fix it with strong rivets, and make it into "lighthouses". In this way, during the voyage, as long as the fleet relies on the electromagnetic signals it receives and judges the distance between itself and each lighthouse, it can easily determine its position and ensure that it has not deviated from the safe route.

With such a lighthouse, the technical difficulty of the hardware equipment required by the subsequent fleet can be greatly reduced.

The strait between the two continents is not wide. At the current speed of the fleet, a voyage can be completed in ten days, and a round trip can be basically completed within a month.

So on the fifth day of the voyage, Lan Nuo saw many powerful sea soul beasts in the detector, wandering in the fleet. Xiaoqing, a 100,000-year-old dragon soul beast, who seemed extremely honest, also reminded him that he had arrived at the soul beast gathering place.

"I remember that there are at least three 100,000-year-old soul beasts here besides me. You must be careful. They are ignorant and do not understand human etiquette. They are likely to attack your fleet." Xiaoqing has completely turned into a dog.

After all, anyone who sees a dog head that can blow up a target soul beast from a distance of 30km knows that such an opponent should not be provoked. If you really provoke such a guy, you will be sleeping in the sea in the future, and there may be a sudden rain of missiles from the sky, sending you to sleep forever. Even among the ten great soul beasts, no lunatic will continue to open a mental power detection of more than 10km, which will be exhausting to the point of neurasthenia.

"You don't need to remind me. Their position has been marked by the command ship. You see, I think this formation should be with a group of ten thousand year soul beasts preparing to ambush us and wipe us out. After all, we made too much noise, and some fast-moving sea soul beasts must have told these guys about our existence.

But it can be seen that they are very confident in their encirclement and seem to be completely unaware that they have been discovered!" Lan Nuo released his mental power and projected the picture on the command ship's screen in front of Xiao Qing.

"Let me teach them a little lesson. After they are scattered, you go over to persuade them to surrender and make the group of hundred thousand year soul beasts obedient and restrain other soul beasts so that they don't mess up the route.

Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome to use missiles to wash the ground every time we pass here." Lan Nuo said, without waiting for Xiao Qing's answer, he had already sat in the driving position, released his mental power, and integrated it into the mental amplifier. The next fireworks show will be guided by him personally.

The explosion caused by ordinary missiles is not very effective against ten thousand year soul beasts. This was reflected when dealing with the Azure Bull Python. Ordinary artillery bombardment caused very limited damage to the solid scales on its body surface.

So if you want to effectively kill these 100,000-year soul beasts, the best way is to use armor-piercing weapons to attack them. If you want to launch this type of weapon from dozens of kilometers away, the required guidance accuracy is very high. If it is replaced by other soul masters, a hit rate of 30% is good. In order to ensure the shocking effect of the first strike, Lan Nuo has to perform a fireworks show in person.

As the target is locked, the missile destroyer raises the big guys on the deck, and these big guys stand upright and launch into the air. Under Lan Nuo's precise control, they draw a beautiful arc in the air. After reaching the highest point, it dives down at high speed towards the 100,000-year soul beasts that are preparing to ambush the fleet. The first to arrive are the ones with the largest amount of explosives, which are filled with destruction mushrooms. They are weapons for large-scale killing. The effect on 100,000-year soul beasts is average, but it is effective against other soul beasts. A large area is destroyed with one explosion.

Mushroom clouds rose up from the sea, and the water column that soared into the sky could fly hundreds of meters high. The shock wave had a stronger killing power in the sea water. The sea soul beasts that were less than ten thousand years old died instantly. Those sea soul beasts that won by numbers and could eat whales into bones in an instant like marching ants, all floated to the surface with their bellies facing up. Their defense was not enough. In the face of such a large-scale killing impact, no matter how many there were, they would still be defeated.

The sudden sneak attack made the hundred thousand year soul beasts shocked and angry. They didn't even know where the attack came from. To find the source, they could only find missiles that kept diving from the sky.

They wanted to intercept, but suddenly felt a huge danger. The shapes of several missiles looked quite strange. Their heads cracked in mid-air, and at the same time, there was an explosion inside. One by one, sharp rare metal alloys were fired from the inside of the missiles. They were like armor-piercing shells with fins. After firing, the shells fell off, and the fins unfolded to make them rotate and remain stable. They fell from the sky at an incredible speed.

The warhead made of rare metal is harder than tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets, and has the self-sharpening effect of depleted uranium bullets. It fell from the sky at a speed of at least eight times the speed of sound, and instantly hit the torsos of three hundred thousand year soul beasts, leaving them no time to react.
