Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

The structure of the Shwedagon Pagoda of Zongqi is very strange. Daxus has visited many large and small pyramids. These pyramids can be entered by walking in, but this pyramid needs to be swam in.

Out of respect for the first visit to the holy land, Shilan did not teleport, and he did not play any tricks. Everyone swam honestly in the water, or was wrapped in bubbles to move forward.

As a result, it took five minutes to enter.

While swimming, he also thought that perhaps the lizard priests here would not wear the gorgeous headdresses loved by other lizard priests, because it would make them feel heavy.

Inside the Shwedagon Pagoda is a large pond with huge water lily leaves floating in the pond, but now these large water lily leaves are no longer there and need to be remade. The lantern that never goes out also went out due to the sinking of the temple city, but it was soon re-lit by Shilan, and the light sprinkled on the water, illuminating the interior of the pyramid.

As the light bloomed again, the few elves and red dragons who followed in turned their eyes to the wall. What attracted them was not only the glittering light reflected from the water, but also a huge world map. Golden lines marked each piece of land, converging into a complex map.

Daquus lost interest after taking a look at the map. A map is just a map. There are no special marks. For example, the location of the ship cemetery is a map. The map at this time, the coastline of Ulthuan after the collapse of the sky and the earth, is clearly marked by golden lines. The map is important, but he knows it by heart and has no appeal.

"This... so many? Maybe I should have come earlier?" He looked around and exclaimed in a low voice.

The rare ground inside the Great Golden Pagoda is all stone slabs. There is nothing else except stone slabs. These stone slabs are stacked like books on a bookshelf, arranged in a square array, as if waiting for his inspection.

"It's quite considerate... this." He said something strange, but after seeing the contents on the slate, he was a little uneasy. The first row of slates was like a catalog and outline, telling the viewer what the contents of the slates behind were.

"Storm Helm?" He walked to the edge and started to read. Among all the slates, his favorite was the Zongqi system. There was no other reason, it was very detailed, so detailed that it was even a little verbose. Moreover, Zongqi's things were very strange and exciting. The Zongqi slate found in Chapeiuto before was very strange, which could allow aquatic creatures to leave the water and take off to fight within the radiation range of the device.

What he was looking at now was not a black box. The so-called black box was a black square box with mysterious patterns pulsating on it... No, a black box means that the user can understand its working mechanism and how to apply it to actual scenarios through the input and output of the black box, and know nothing about the internal operating mechanism of the black box.

It was a bit like I was thinking, what principle? I was thinking I didn't know, I was thinking I would use it. When I got to the Lizardmen, I thought that after upgrading and being able to manufacture various engines, there was actually no essential difference between them and the black box.

The Storm Wheel seemed to him more like the practical application of the Arcane Sphere?

The wind of magic could solidify into a solid, and when compressed to the extreme, it would become a gem-like object, and the style of these gems would change according to the compressed wind of magic. Energy stones are usually tools used by spellcasters to assist in casting spells. In addition, energy stones can be used in many places, such as maintaining nodes, and inlaying in armor and weapons.

In human terms, it is a battery, and the Arcane Sphere is an extra-large battery that can be mass-produced. As for whether it is safe or not...

The Storm Wheel is an application system, not a single object or black box. In the system, there is an Aegir Wind Capture connected to the Arcane Sphere. With the capturer, there is no need for underwater energy sensing plates or antennas, lightning rods, or catheters. The capturer replaces the functions of these devices.

When the Wind of Aegir appears, the catcher captures the free energy in the air through the rune network on the surface. The runes can sense and guide the energy, gather and compress the energy, and transmit it into the arcane ball.

In layman's terms, it is a charger. The application of the catcher and the charger is almost the same. It transmits energy into the arcane ball, making the arcane ball sustainable.

Then the weird thing came. No propeller or power thruster is needed. The rules of physics are broken. Unlike traditional propulsion systems, the storm wheel uses magic power to propel the ship forward.

The diversion network at the bottom of the ship will release the energy of the arcane ball and generate an invisible energy flow, which is the driving force. This driving force is not limited by water flow, wind force, and materials, and the energy flow will also separate the ship from the water, forming a nearly suspended effect. The hull seems to be in contact with the water, but in fact it is not. The resistance of the water disappears. When the ship is sailing, it glides like lightning, with amazing speed. Drifting is not a dream, and turning on the spot...

"What the hell?!" Dakuus was possessed by Thunder Head when he saw this. In his opinion, the storm steering wheel is too weird. If the storm steering wheel is put into practical use, many things will be changed.

There is a strange device in front of the ocean-going freighter - the bow of the ship. This spherical protrusion can help the ship increase its sailing speed. When sailing, the resistance of the ship mainly comes from the contact area between the seawater and the ship and the air. The seawater at the bow will be pushed up, and the pushed up seawater will form undulating waves, thereby increasing the resistance of the ship and affecting the sailing speed of the ship.

This kind of resistance is called wave resistance, which is one of the main factors restricting the speed of ships. Therefore, the bow of the ship appeared, but in addition to reducing the resistance of the ship, it will also have a certain impact on the stability of the ship. And the bow of the ship is arc-shaped, which represents an extremely high casting process. A piece of steel plate is easy to make, but turning the steel plate into a ball is a door technology.

With a storm steering wheel, there is still a bow of the ship with a ball. Even at high speed, the resistance of the water will not affect the speed of the ship, and complex hydrodynamic design and optimization are no longer needed. With a storm steering wheel, not only the bow of the ship, but also the complex mechanical system, steam turbines, gas turbines and diesel engines are all unnecessary. With a storm steering wheel, these complex mechanical structures are completely unnecessary.

Without a mechanical power device, equipment such as propellers, tail shafts, and thrusters will also be eliminated. Without mechanical power devices, what is the use of these things.

Without a mechanical power device, the problem of huge fuel reserves and energy consumption does not exist. While being environmentally friendly, the capacity of the ship is increased. The Storm Wheel draws energy from the air and the environment continuously, allowing the ship to sail for an almost unlimited time without energy supply.

In traditional ship design, waterproof materials and anti-corrosion technology are key parts, especially wooden or metal hulls are easily damaged when exposed to water for a long time. However, the Storm Wheel uses magic to isolate the hull from the water, completely eliminating the risk of corrosion and water erosion, but it is still needed...

The ship always docks, and it is impossible to keep the Storm Wheel system running when docking. This is unrealistic, unless the ship is parked in a dry dock. The problem is where to get so many dry docks.

The Storm Wheel does not rely on buoyancy to maintain navigation, but uses magic to suspend the hull above the water. Therefore, all the designs about buoyancy and complex drainage systems... are still needed. What if the magical magic fails? If you lose power, you can still float and wait for rescue. If there are problems with the buoyancy and drainage systems, then you are really out of luck.

In addition to technology and industry, the emergence of the Storm Wheel can also bring about great changes in other aspects. In the world before Dacus and in the world we live in now, there are cases of colonies getting out of control. There are many reasons for the loss of control, one of which is that the distance and relationship between the colonies and the mainland are too far.

The first generation of immigrants is fine. While coming to the colonies to make a living, most of them still have their hearts set on the mainland. After the second generation... they don't even know where the mainland is, let alone having been there. They have only read about it in books and heard about it from the mouths of the elderly, and some have never even heard of it. Instead, they have to be dominated and exploited by the mainland. Isn't this the case? There are other political decrees and so on, which are all thunder.

The colonies designated by Dacus are all within the scope of the Vast Ocean, so the Vast Ocean must be the inland sea of ​​the elves, and the elf ships sailing on the Vast Ocean must be safe. So he had a benefit from killing that monster that time, but it is not reflected now, so it is better to take precautions.

The increase in ship speed will further strengthen the connection between Ulthuan and various colonies. In addition to the speed of the arrival of government orders, information and troops, it can also make the elves' population flow.

Elves born in Elsin Arwen may go to Asheril for their honeymoon. Go to Ulthuan to go to school and see what the "City of World Desire" is like. Why is it desired by the world? This sense of belonging and pride will rise suddenly. Go to Tar Ulishain, which is now Nehekhara, to make a living.

Storm Helm is good, but it is a bit labor-intensive. It is related to magic and must involve spellcasters. Storm Helm can not only use water to increase the speed of ships, but also combine magic with nature.

The reason why the storm wheel is called the storm wheel is that the caster can control the nearby wind, lightning and other natural phenomena through the storm wheel. If the caster is powerful, it can also create a small-scale storm. With sails, the summoned wind can further increase the speed of the ship. It can not only allow ships to adapt to various bad weather, but also allow ships to escape from bad weather at high speed.

The Storm Wheel has another unique feature. The heading control system does not rely on the traditional steering wheel. Instead, the caster changes the direction of the ship by controlling the diversion network, achieving a completely accurate control effect without sails.

The caster replaces the ship's driver, that is, the first mate, and even the tugboat and pilot are not needed.

Dakuus stood up, frowned, put his hands behind his back, and paced in place. He felt like a dog biting a hedgehog. He thought that the most suitable ship for the Storm Wheel was a large steel ship, the bigger the better, a large cruise ship and an ocean-going freighter, but these were things that happened a long time ago, and the all-steel shipbuilding technology has not yet been developed.

The most suitable one now is... the dragon ship! At present, there is no ship more suitable for the Storm Wheel than the dragon ship. The dragon ship equipped with the Storm Wheel will break through the existing speed limit and become more terrifying.

This is still the speed. The Storm Wheel also provides a variety of terrifying attack methods, combined with the dragon and eagle claw crossbow cannon carried...

One, just one, no more. One dragon ship and two dragons can kill the fleet of Duruqi's plunderers. Even a novice who couldn't command a naval battle could figure it out. He didn't even have to do anything. He just let the dragon ships use high-speed maneuvers to circle around the plunder fleet.

Whenever there was a chance, they would attack the plunder ships that showed up without cover. They would use lightning, crossbows, and dragon breath to attack from all directions. After the attack, they would run away and continue to circle, just like peeling an onion.

The plunder fleet can't fight no matter how it fights. If the speed is not advantageous, trying to encircle is just giving away opportunities. The high-speed dragon ships can use this opportunity to do many things. In the end, the plunder fleet can only flee in a scattered manner, which is also a free gift. The high-speed dragon ships can completely eat them one by one.

Fortunately, this technology is in his hands, in the hands of Druki, and the manufacturing technology is in the hands of the lizardmen, not in the hands of Asur, otherwise... He estimated that he would not be able to sleep well at night. If he can't even cross the sea when he reigns in Ulthuan, what's the point of reigning? Swim across.

The reason why he feels that the dog bites the hedgehog is that the storm wheel is not suitable for the moment. Let's talk about the lizardmen first. The canal boats sailing in the canals and rivers of the Lustria continent are just like that. They can be used, make do, and are very useful. There is such a thing, which has a kind of beauty of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Before the steel shipbuilding technology was developed, before the thousand-ton river boats came out, it was meaningless to add storm wheels to the canal boats. It was like adding tracks to a turtle instead of pulleys. It was a waste of effort.

And most importantly, the storm wheel needs to be operated by a spellcaster, that is, the skin lizard priests have to operate the storm wheel. Knowing the capacity and tonnage of the existing canal boats, how many skin lizard priests are needed. Skin lizard priests are indispensable parts for the lizardman society to maintain operation. Each of them is a precious wealth. Concentrating them on the canal is a bit crazy.

As for Duruchi... the situation is not bad. In fact, the existing plunder ships are outdated, and they are even more outdated after the storm wheel appeared.

When he was still in Naggaroth, he went back to Clarkarond. At that time, the shipyard had done a few new jobs. A new ship was exactly the same as the existing plunder ship in general, except for some slight differences in the bow. The part of the bow that contacts the water has been transformed and hollowed out to accommodate a hell dragon, and the device connects the hell dragon to the hull.

This feels like a carriage on land, with the hell dragon as the horse and the ship as the carriage, and a biological engine installed. The reason for this kind of operation is that this kind of operation is because this ship is a special model, and the sailing route is Krakalond-Spikazuma, which is specially used for long-term travel in the underground sea. It will only appear on the sea surface after a short sailing. From this point of view, this job is very good, and the hell dragon can make the ship travel faster in the underground sea.

There is also a ship that is known as the pride of Krakalond and the symbol of Duruchi.

It is an enhanced version of the existing old model of plunder ship, with a longer hull, a tapered bow and a more outward expansion of the upper part, a wide hull and a spacious hatch, designed to increase the carrying capacity. The power system adopts a multi-mast and multi-sail design, with a large oblique sail area and a reasonable area distribution, which can more flexibly adapt to different sea conditions and wind power, with a total crew of fifty.

In his opinion, this is the ultimate version of the clipper ship, and there is no potential for upgrading and transformation. The problem is... this ship is designed for transportation, not combat. For combat, it has to be a dragon ship, but the problem is...

Thinking about this, he took a breath and clenched his teeth. He felt a little confused. Good steel is used on the blade. The storm wheel will not consider transportation before meeting combat needs. It is not impossible to adapt the storm wheel to the existing outdated plunder ship, but it is a pity and a waste of resources.

The two Lorens have magic wood, magic wood for making dragon ships, but the problem is that magic wood has a saying in the two Lorens, it is sacred, and apart from these things, transportation is also a big problem.

After Aslai and Asur reached a trade, there was basically no need to think about shipping it out. As for Enil, this wood is not a useless thing like an information card. If a ship carrying magic wood appears in the Vast Ocean, Asur will definitely make plans. He will deduct the money even if he loses money. After all, this is magic wood that can build dragon ships. Moreover, Enil does not have a ship that can transport magic wood. At that time, it will have to go to Duruchi's black ark.

He thinks this is unrealistic. Enil will never do anything with this precious magic wood. No one can do this. The interests of all parties cannot be reconciled. Unless he is crazy, the problem is that he is not crazy.

Or, he should look for wood suitable for making dragon ships or planting areas in Lustria in the next two years? But he gave up soon. It is inevitable that steel ships will replace wooden ships, unless they fight against the great demon Tzeentch who can scrap steel on the sea. There is no way. The wind of the pious gate is naturally strong against metal objects. But there is a solution, but this is not what should be studied at present. The full steel shipbuilding technology has not been pointed out yet.

Perhaps the best way now is to transform the new plunder ship, retain or raise the hull, cancel the multi-mast and multi-sail design, turn it into a three-sail ship, and equip it with rams and reaper crossbows.

Dakuus felt like a boil was being picked open. Who should be assigned to the plunder ship equipped with a storm wheel, and where should the captain and sailors be drawn from. Whether to form an elite and model fleet, who will be the commander of the fleet, how many plunder ships are needed for the fleet, what is the tactical thinking, where to deploy, and who will pay for supplies and salaries, these are all problems, but these are not the main problems.

The main problem is that the current Druki Navy has not been reformed...

This is still a problem of the Druki Navy. He still has to take time to go to Spicazuma. He hasn't been there for a long time. The trip to Elsin Alvin was very profitable. He has a lot of things for Coptiti to order and manufacture, which involves a lot of problems.

I want this and that. Should the production capacity of Spikazuma be expanded? How long will the construction period of the Storm Wheel be? Half a year, a year, or how long? How many combat-capable fleets can be formed before the war without affecting other production capacities?

The only problem that can be solved is the Storm Weaver. There is nothing much to say about this, and there is no big problem. He and Serene are here, holding the Trident of the Sea in their hands.

After returning to Chapeyuto, we will officially open for business after the meeting to determine the system. At that time, we will notify Kaia who is far away in Lauren Loren. Don't forget him. Kaia is a high-level Storm Weaver after all. This is not a title. He is the real power boss in the organization. Follow-up personnel are not a problem. He believes that his clan mother will handle everything.

Suddenly, he thought of something again. Maybe the Storm Wheel can be equipped with the assault ship flying in the sky, but this idea only stayed in his mind for a moment. He felt too much. It is not impossible to take the things of the Water God Zongqi to the sky. Storms, lightning, wind and so on can also be used. The problem is that the use of the assault ship is very clear, and the assault ship is too small. Even if it is used on the Archon's vehicle, the Throne of Suffering, it is not worth it.

He felt a little confused, and past experience told him that when the mind is confused, don't think about it blindly. Then he took another step and looked at the second stone tablet.

"Wow!" (End of this chapter)
