My Empire War Game

On the blue sea, a few seagulls flew in the sky.

On the sea, a huge ship was sailing through the wind and waves. Su Lun was wearing a pirate captain's three-brimmed hat, holding a telescope in one hand, and holding Chris in the other, commanding the ship vigorously.

On a calm sea, the speed of this ship has already reached 35 knots. If you use the skills again, the speed can easily reach 50 knots. In this era, not all magic ships can achieve such a high speed. speed.

Even Su Lun, the weapon on the magic ship, tried it out. Those ballistas can easily shoot a distance of 500 meters. Under the operation of those activated cables, they can fire six times per minute. After turning on the rapid fire, the fire rate can increase Doubled to an astonishing twelve bolts per minute.

There are a total of twenty-four ballistas installed on this magic ship, which means that 288 ballistas can be fired in one minute. Such a high rate of fire can completely turn a ship into a hedgehog. Compared with the crossbow, the Red Dragon's Wrath flamethrower is more powerful. The range of the flamethrower is only 50 meters, but the cover area is 1,500 square meters. The specially prepared fierce fire oil burns at an extremely high temperature.

Su Lun did an experiment with an ordinary ship, and it took less than ten minutes for the fierce fuel to completely ignite the whole ship, and the flames sprayed by the Red Dragon's Wrath could burn on the sea surface and When burning, it will release poisonous smoke, which is very lethal.

After driving quickly on the sea for a while, Su Lun got over his addiction to drag racing, and then he slowed down the ship. The entire magic ship does not require sailors to operate it at all, and the activated cables can complete various actions.

Following Su Lun's order, the magic ship suddenly vibrated slightly, and then the hull deck began to rotate, an invisible force appeared around the ship, the surrounding sea water began to enter the ship, and the whole magic ship sank rapidly into the ocean floor.

In just one minute, the ship disappeared on the sea. On the bottom of the sea, Su Lun looked around. The bottom of the sea was not dark. A layer of light blue energy shield surrounded the magic ship, covering the whole ship. The sea water was separated, and there was a dark luster around it. On the magic ship, you can clearly see everything on the surrounding seabed.

The energy layer around the ship not only separates the sea water, but also has a hidden function. From the outside, there is nothing in this sea water. The speed of this magic ship on the bottom of the sea is lower than that on the water surface. But it is more than enough for a sneak attack.

At this time, the surroundings are completely surrounded by light blue sea water, and the whole person is as if in a crystal palace, very beautiful. Su Lun was so excited that he took Chris here to play a double-row game before letting the boat float up.

After playing in the sea for almost a day, Su Lun tested all the abilities of the magic ship, and then drove the ship back to the voyage with unsatisfied satisfaction. Without one, his idea of ​​fighting a naval battle was completely defeated.

Back at the deep water port, Su Lun and Chris returned to the land. As for the magic ship, it sank directly to the bottom of the sea and fell asleep. It would only wake up again when Su Lun or Hathaway called. This deep sleep is also a way for it to accumulate energy.

The magic ship is not equipped with an energy source like the elemental pool. After all, the cost of moving the elemental pool to the ship is too high, and it is also easy to damage, so Hathaway adopted another method, similar to a battery, magic There is a special transformation circle on board, which can absorb and transform the energy in the ocean into elemental energy and store it.

Normal driving basically does not consume energy. It is only consumed when casting spells or fighting. Under normal circumstances, when the energy is fully accumulated, the ship can fight for about two days.

Coming to Deep Water City, the entire city is under construction in full swing. The shipyard on the Hongsha River Hexin Island has been completed. The shipyard covers an area of ​​30,000 square meters and has six docks in total.

The shipyards of this era have not yet formed that kind of closed dock. Many of them are built directly by digging a hole. Su Lun made many improvements when the shipyard was built. The largest dock in this shipyard is 70 meters long. It is possible to build merchant ships with a displacement of up to two thousand tons.

This kind of ship carries a large amount of cargo, and can carry a large amount of food and water for long-distance voyages. It takes about a month to sail from the Eastern Continent to Waterdeep City, and it will take longer if you go to a city farther away.

There are not many islands along the way from here to the eastern mainland, so it is necessary to prepare sufficient food and water sources. This kind of merchant ship with a displacement of 2,000 tons can transport four or five times more cargo than ordinary sailboats at a time.

The smallest of the six docks in the shipyard is only 30 meters, and small merchant ships can be built here. In addition to these merchant ships, warships can also be built here.

In fact, the difference between merchant ships and warships in this era is not too great. Many pirates drive armed merchant ships that have been modified. There are often conflicts between pirates and the navy. The navy cannot rely on ships to gain absolute advantage. Sometimes Pirates will take the initiative to attack the navy.

The biggest difference between a merchant ship and a warship is that the shape of the ship is different. In order to carry more cargo, the width of the merchant ship is increased during construction, in order to load more cargo, while the warship is different. They chase the enemy for faster speed, so Warships are generally built to be relatively slender.

In this way, the speed of warships is usually faster than that of merchant ships, but the speed of armed merchant ships transformed by pirates is not slower than that of warships. Another point is that the wood used by warships is teak or other high-grade wood, which is rarely used by merchant ships.

Using teak and other wood to make warships is usually stronger. In this era of naval battles, rams are often used. Rams can be said to be the most powerful attack method in this era except for magic ships. Many times, a high-speed ship can Relying on the angle of impact, the other ship was directly broken by the middle.

If the wood materials used for this kind of violent impact are not up to standard, it is likely to cause serious damage to the warship.

The pirates' favorite battle is gang-hopping. This kind of battle can better preserve cargo and ships. It is said that pirates in the southern seas have robbed many warships in this way. Compared with the navy, pirates are more frenzied. Usually Under normal circumstances, pirates prefer crowd tactics, and there will often be dozens or hundreds of pirates on a pirate ship for gang-hopping operations.
