My Empire War Game
#583 set sail (1)
After Su Lun traveled to this world, he tried to make gunpowder, but to his disappointment, the gunpowder couldn't explode at all. Weapons like artillery can only stay on the blueprints.
Su Lun had heard that the hill dwarves possessed something similar to gunpowder, which was used to dig mountains and rocks to dig mineral deposits, but this material was very expensive. This kind of thing similar to gunpowder is called fire crystal powder by the dwarves, and the main material is a kind of fire crystal.
After the flint is ground and mixed with several other materials, it will produce an effect similar to gunpowder, but the cost of this kind of thing is much more expensive than gunpowder, and even the southern seas are rarely equipped with this kind of gunpowder. For ships with crystal powder weapons, Su Lun intends to build some fire crystal cannons to be installed on warships.
The first batch of navies trained by Barbosa returned to Waterdeep City. Although this batch of navies only trained for three short months, their strength has reached the requirements. After all, in order to train qualified navies as soon as possible, Barbosa Pull these people directly for ocean voyages.
If Su Lun hadn't prepared a lot of underwater breathing potions for him, half of the navy would probably have died. After these three months of intensive training, these people have experienced the baptism of several storms on the ocean. Under such cruel conditions, their level naturally improved rapidly.
This kind of training method is basically to directly let the recruits come to the battlefield with weapons and let the battlefield educate him. This method is very cruel, but as long as they survive, they can quickly transform into elites. But this usually happens among pirates.
Pirates will not give you time to train and adapt, fight and sail again and again. Pirates trained in this way can compete with the navy on the sea.
Although various protective measures such as underwater breathing agents have been prepared, there are still several deaths in this batch of navy, which is also impossible.
With this first batch of navy, the first warship in Waterdeep City can be used, and the next navy will be trained from the water army camp. The training cycle of the water army camp is nine months. It takes a long time to go up, but it is several times faster than other countries training navies.
It takes at least two years for a navy to go from recruits to proficient operation of warships. Compared with them, it only takes nine months for Su Lun, which is more than twice as fast.
After inspecting these navies, Su Lun was quite satisfied with them, and then announced that their salaries would be increased. Those who unfortunately died during the training would be subsidized according to the standards of martyrs, and Zhenbei City would distribute various supplies to them.
After hearing that they passed the test, all the soldiers cheered excitedly. These soldiers directly obtained the citizenship of Zhenbei City, and their families also obtained a piece of land and houses. Su Lun was very generous to the army.
After completing the training, Su Lun gave these navies a few days off, and then waited until the construction of the new warships was completed before formally forming the navy. Barbossa also served as Admiral of the Navy of Waterdeep City.
Waterdeep City now has two sea ships, one is a training warship and the other is an armed merchant ship. These two ships will not join the navy sequence. After all, these two ships are the hands-on work of the Waterdeep City Shipyard. There are many problems, of course these problems are not serious, it is still no problem to be used as a merchant ship, but it is not good to be used as a warship.
The Navy of Waterdeep City established by Su Lun has a size of about 2,500 people, with 15 to 20 main battleships, as well as several scout ships and supply ships. Such a fleet is naturally incomparable to the tens of thousands of navies of the southern countries, but the combat effectiveness of the Navy of Waterdeep City is not weak.
Although the navies of the southern countries are powerful, few ships are made of iron oak. Iron oak has a very good fire effect, and the hull is hard. After installing the ram, it can easily knock a ship under full speed impact Ships using teak wood crashed.
Even if things like bumping horns were in the previous life, it was not until the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century that they completely withdrew from the stage of fighting. The reason is that the angle of collision is so powerful that many times naval battles occurred at sea, and the two sides fired hundreds of shells. As a result, although the two ships were scarred, they still showed no signs of sinking. However, the weapon of the ram can cause a one-hit kill effect on the enemy.
Such a powerful weapon is the trump card of naval pirates. As long as it hits, it can easily open a huge hole in the ship's side string, and the sea water will gushing in immediately, and the ship will sink in a short time.
In contrast, the power of the fire crystal cannon is very limited. After all, the hit rate of the fire crystal cannon is not high, but on the sea surface, the hit rate is even more touching. The artillery battle in the previous era of great navigation was completely two warships When they are close to each other, they will bombard each other and rely on quantity to solve the problem of hit rate, which requires a lot of money.
Su Lun plans to equip some fire crystal cannons, and at the same time prepares to study alchemy cannons. The alchemy cannon has been produced for a long time, but there is also a problem, that is, the operator is a wizard. Su Lun wants to let Hathaway improve it to see if the alchemy cannon can be transformed into something that ordinary people can use. If the transformation is successful, then the army of Waterdeep City will be able to sweep across the sea.
The alchemy cannon uses magic power, and after directly inputting the magic power, it forms a magic attack similar to fireball, but this kind of alchemy cannon was thrown into the corner not long after it was developed. The main reason is that wizards can already cast fireballs, so why bother to use this alchemy cannon to attack. As a result, this alchemy cannon directly became a joke among wizards.
Su Lun also shook his head helplessly at the thought of the alchemy cannon. This thing went off the wrong direction from the very beginning. What he should have made was an alchemy cannon that ordinary people could use, not wizards.
The blueprints of this kind of alchemy cannon were collected in some wizard books as a negative teaching material, and Hathaway was naturally aware of it, but it was not easy to transform it into a practical magic item for ordinary people. The magic props made by wizards are basically used by wizards, and ordinary people are rarely considered.
But this is not without any solution, after all, some trigger-type magic items can also be used by ordinary people.
If the alchemy cannon can be made successfully, Su Lun plans to replace the ballista on the magic ship of the Nulong with an alchemy cannon. The ballista on the magic ship has a range of 500 meters, and the shooting accuracy is very accurate. After the ballista has been modified, kerosene is added to it, and the combustion effect is very good. A single salvo can ignite a ship.
However, compared to the power of the alchemy cannon, Su Lun knew very well that the power of the fireball technique was very threatening to the current wooden boats. Just a few fireballs could easily send a boat into the bottom of the sea.
Su Lun summoned the magic ship Nulong, which has been sleeping on the seabed to accumulate energy for a while, and now the energy on board is full, Su Lun plans to take this magic ship to the Eastern Continent.
This trip to the Eastern Continent, Su Lun, prepared a large amount of supplies, and at the same time, they will take two merchant ships to form a fleet and set off together.
The Nulong has been sailing for several times. There is no problem with its speed or defense at sea. Under the curious eyes of the navy on the shore, the Nulong slowly enters the port. The size of the Nulong is larger than that of a warship. Larger than armed merchant ships.
Moreover, space spells were cast inside the Nulong, and the space on the ship was very large. Can load a lot of cargo. A lot of alchemy structures were added to the Nulong during the production process. According to Hathaway's estimation, its maximum speed can reach 80 knots per hour.
However, due to the immaturity of the energy supply device, the energy used by the Nulong currently relies on the magic circle to charge, and it usually needs to collect energy. Of course, the wizard can also inject mana and place magic stones to extract energy. The cost of consumption must be higher. Big cut.
After collecting slow energy, it can sail at full speed for about a day, and if it uses cruising speed, the Nulong can sail for a month. Of course, if it only relies on sail power, it can sail at sea for a year without a major war. question.
Su Lun boarded the Fury Dragon, accompanied by some businessmen and scholars who are familiar with the Eastern Continent. This time, Su Lun was mainly doing business and did not intend to cause trouble. He intends to open up new channels to make money.
The Western Continent is located in the north of the planet, not a short distance away from the Eastern Continent. To the southeast of the Western Continent, there is another continent near the equator.
On the magic ship.
Those scholars who are familiar with the Eastern Continent are introducing the environment of the Eastern Continent to the businessmen. There are a large number of poisonous substances on this continent, so after arriving there, you must not eat wild things casually. At the same time, they also talked about some customs of the Eastern Continent Favor.
The proportion of poisons in the entire Eastern Continent is close to one-tenth, that is, one out of ten species of creatures is poisonous. Therefore, the intelligent races in the entire Eastern Continent have acquired additional toxin resistance during the long biological evolution.
And because the Eastern Continent is located to the south, the environment here is hotter, and the climate changes more drastically than here. It may still be sunny in the morning, and it may turn into thunderstorms in the afternoon, which is somewhat similar to the environment of a tropical rainforest.
In addition to these, the Eastern Continent is also rich in products, and many special products are completely absent in the Western Continent. In addition to these, the Eastern Continent is also the birthplace of monks. Due to the serious accidents caused in the era of the Arcane Empire, there are many ancient evils that have been sealed on this continent. suppressed.
Su Lun is also very interested in these evil creatures, but in this long time, many evil creatures have been suppressed and killed, maybe he can kill a few to gain some experience.
