Online Game: Island War

With Lei Jiu's efforts, the work of inscribing the rune construction on Crowley was finally completed in late January.

What Crowley inscribed was also the rune structure of the air system, but unlike Luo Zheng's thunder enhancement, the set on it was a storm enhancement.

Rune Construct (Air): Full version, storm enhancement.

Effect: After activation, strength +400%, agility +200%, constitution +200%, attack with 300% storm cutting damage, movement speed +200%.

The storm can be controlled for defense or attack, and the specific effect changes with the control strength of the wearer.

Activating stamina consumption speed +30%, controlling the storm requires additional stamina consumption.

If the air system rune construction in the direction of storm enhancement is a weakened version, in addition to attribute bonuses, the main function is to improve mobility, and the additional damage is not strong, which cannot be compared with thunder enhancement.

But the full version is different.

A real storm, fierce, destructive, and unstoppable.

If you add more fuel to the storm...

After Crowley activated the rune construction and tested its power, Lei Jiu decided to ask the blacksmith to make some tougher steel pieces and put them in bags.

Every time Crowley goes out, he wears some of these bags on his body.

If you encounter an enemy to activate the rune construction and summon a storm, you can throw these pockets into the storm, hey~!

The effect is no less than Ling Chi, isn't it a bit cruel!

Thinking in this way, Lei Jiu asked someone to convey his thoughts and orders to Lang Yongning.

This trick is called Eviscerate Tianfeng!

Like the track in the sand, it is quite a bloody trick! It's better to use the Thunder Prison. What's left is either coke or fly ash. The scene is not bloody, and it is convenient to clean the battlefield.

The nearly two months of research time spent on Crowley is not considered a waste, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the giant guardian dragon has been greatly improved. At the same time, Lei Jiu has almost mastered the key points of the inscription rune construction for the giant dragon.

Don't forget, there are more than 90 dragon eggs in the Dragon City.

Since sooner or later we have to study the inscription rune structure for the dragon, it is better to be earlier, anyway, Lei Jiu is not particularly busy recently.

During the period, Lei Jiu also cared about the dragon eggs saved by Jiu Ge's blood and asked about their hatching progress.

Due to the dragon egg rescue plan, the order of rescue is from strong to weak. The holy dragon egg rescued first has the highest potential and the longest hatching time. Therefore, the overall hatching time of the dragon egg is similar.

According to Crowley, if Jiuge can reach its peak within this year and provide enough Phoenix blood, then all dragon eggs will be hatched in 5 to 6 years.

within the year?

It should be about the same. Jiuge has already eaten more than 20,000 pieces of fire elemental crystals. At the current speed, he will almost grow to the peak of his combat power by the end of the year and when summer comes.

Correspondingly, Lei Jiu probably had to say goodbye to the fire element crystal mine on the island.

Han Bao's progress is slower, but before autumn, it should have almost reached its peak.

Everything is settled, and the sea trials of the two ironclad ships have already been completed.

Some small problems found, but also all resolved.

Everything is ready. On January 26, 3rd year of the Tianxiang calendar, Huanghuang Island's first official expedition to the outer islands set sail (Hanbao and Dragon Kingdom are both playing small tricks).

This expedition, with a one-way distance of nearly 1,000 kilometers, is a real expedition for Huanghuang Island.

Fortunately, the iron-clad steamship has a speed of 40 knots and can run more than 70 kilometers in an hour.

Unlike the steam boilers of the Earth Age, the output of the spar furnace is very stable, and the speed can be maintained at 40 knots. Unlike the boiler warships on the earth, the maximum speed can run 30 knots, and the normal long-distance voyage can only be maintained at 10 knots.

Of course, this is also related to the uncomplicated state of the ocean in the game world.

It can be said that as long as there are no sea beasts or sea races attacking, the sea in the game world, except for some special areas, will be calm most of the time.

There are ocean and atmospheric movements like ocean currents and monsoons, otherwise a complete water cycle cannot be formed, but these movements tend to be gentle and slow, and will not stir up strong winds and waves.

Both ironclad ships have a maximum displacement of 40,000 tons, a maximum power of 400,000 kilowatts, and a maximum speed of 50 knots.

It is not necessary to run so fast during normal sailing. After all, even if the sea is light and the waves are small, if the speed is too fast, it will be difficult for the hull to keep stable, and the shaking will inevitably be severe.

Unlike oar boats, when riding on iron-clad ships, all legions have seasickness.

Even if the red-haired species has a strong physique, their combat power will drop significantly after tossing around like this for more than 10 hours.

In the end, the speed was set at 40 knots.

The naming of the two ironclad ships is very simple, they are directly Yuanzheng No. 1 and Yuanzheng No. 2, and their roles and responsibilities are self-evident.

Because the energy launcher will take 5 years to unlock, and right now, Huanghuang Island itself can't design any sophisticated military weapons, so there are only a small number of fixed bed crossbows, or ballistas, on the two iron-clad ships, which are specially used to Against wooden ships.

When the ballista goes down, the bowl is as big as a hole!

Expedition No. 1 and No. 2 are different. The outer layer of iron armor is enough for the area ballista to shoot at close range.

If it weren't for the fact that the island's steelmaking technology is not good enough to make a strong enough keel hull, there is no need to use this compromise method and go directly to the steel warship.

So for the time being, the role of the two ironclad ships is more similar to that of an armed troop carrier.

If you want to realize a real naval battleship, you have to wait for the energy launcher to be unlocked.

Of course, after that, it is not only steel technology that needs to be studied to make the ship bigger and stronger. It is also necessary to consider how to defend against energy weapons. Anti-magic coatings, energy-conducting coatings, energy-dissipating coatings, etc. have to be studied.

Otherwise, wait for other people's energy weapons to come out, and you won't be able to withstand the opponent's attack!

Even if it is really unbearable, its destructiveness must be reduced as much as possible. At least such a large battleship must be able to carry a few shots. If it sinks in one shot, even Lei Jiu can't afford to lose it.

Given that the eyesight of organisms in the game world is much stronger than that of people on Earth, and the accuracy of energy cannons is naturally easier to control than gunpowder shelling, Lei Jiu can already imagine that in future naval battles, the two sides will fire at a distance of 10,000 meters, trying to kill each other. It is not difficult for a warship to shove a few holes.

In order to prevent expensive warships from becoming consumables and reduce future naval sacrifices, Lei Jiu plans to focus a considerable part of the alchemy laboratory's work on energy weapon defense after the energy launch device is unlocked and successfully applied.

This is not only for the navy, but also for the future army and air force.

Ten hours later, Lei Jiu and the others could vaguely see the target island of the trip.

After approaching, Lei Jiu frowned, the Great Wall of Coastal Defense hasn't even been erected?

Is this player so poor?

After the two boats docked, Lei Jiu frowned even tighter. He was sure that the island didn't move in any direction, and the seawater on the shore showed no signs of crowding out to both sides.

Moreover, there were no patrol personnel on land or sea nearby.

Vigilance should not be so low, right?

You must know where they landed, but it is not a mountainous area.

Could it be... isn't this the player's island?
