Chapter 567

On the blue sea, several seagulls flew in the sky.

On the sea, a huge ship sailed through the wind and waves. Suellen took a pirate captain's three brimmed hat, with a telescope in one hand and Chris in the other, and commanded the ship with high spirits.

On the calm sea, the ship's sailing speed has reached 35 knots. If you use your skills, the speed can easily reach 50 knots. In this era, even magic ships can't have such a high speed.

Even Su Lun, the weapon on the magic ship, tried it. Those catapults can easily shoot a distance of 500 meters. Under the operation of those activated cables, they can launch six times per minute. After opening the fast shooting, the firing speed can be doubled to an amazing 12 crossbows per minute.

The magic ship is equipped with 24 crossbows. It is still said that 288 crossbows and arrows can be fired in one minute. Such a high firing speed can shoot a ship into a hedgehog. Compared with crossbows and arrows, the red dragon's anger flamethrower is more powerful. The range of the flamethrower is only 50 meters, but the flip area is 1500 square meters. The specially prepared fierce fire oil burns at a very high temperature.

Su Lun made an experiment with an ordinary ship. In less than ten minutes, these fierce fire oil completely ignited the whole ship. Moreover, the flame emitted by the anger of the red dragon can burn on the sea, and toxic smoke will be released when burning, which is very destructive.

After driving fast on the sea for a while, Su Lun was addicted to racing, which slowed down the ship. The whole magic ship did not need sailors to operate at all, and those activated cables could complete various actions.

With Su Lun's order, the magic ship suddenly vibrated slightly, and then the hull deck began to operate. An invisible force appeared around the ship, the surrounding sea water began to enter the ship, and the whole magic ship quickly sank into the seabed.

In just one minute, the ship disappeared into the sea. At the bottom of the sea, Su Lun looked around. The bottom of the sea was not dark. Around the magic ship, a light blue energy protective cover wrapped the whole ship. The sea water was separated, and a dark luster was distributed around. You can clearly see everything around the bottom of the sea on the magic ship.

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

At this time, the surroundings are completely wrapped by light blue sea water. The whole person is as beautiful as in the Crystal Palace. SULEN was so excited that she took Chris here to play a double row game, and then let the ship float.

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. The only thing he regretted was that there were no merchant ships in the surrounding sea area, not to mention pirate ships, which completely frustrated his idea of fighting a sea war.

Back to the deep-water port, Suellen and Chris returned to the land. As for the magic ship, it sank directly into the seabed and slept. It would wake up again only when Suellen or Hathaway called. This deep sleep is also a way for it to store energy.

The magic ship is not equipped with an energy source like an element pool. After all, it costs too much to move the element pool to the ship, and it is easy to be damaged. Therefore, Hathaway adopts another way, similar to a battery. The magic ship has a special conversion array, which can absorb and convert the energy in the ocean into element energy and store it.

Normally, normal driving basically does not consume energy. It will only be consumed when releasing spells or fighting. Generally, when the energy is fully accumulated, the ship can fight for about two days.

When we came to the deep-water City, the whole city was under construction in full swing. The shipyard on the heart island of hongshahe river has been completed. The shipyard covers an area of 30000 square meters, with a total of six docks.

The shipyards of this era have not yet formed that kind of closed docks. Many of them are built directly by digging a pit. Sulun has made many improvements during the construction of the shipyard. The largest dock of this shipyard is 70 meters long and can build merchant ships with a maximum displacement of 2000 tons.

This ship has a large cargo volume and can carry a large amount of food and water for long-distance navigation. It takes almost a month to sail from the eastern continent to deepwater city. If you go to a farther City, it will take longer.

There are not many islands along the way from here to the eastern continent, so we need to prepare sufficient food and water sources. This kind of merchant ship with a displacement of 2000 tons can transport more than four or five times as much goods as ordinary sailboats.

The smallest of the six docks in the shipyard is only 30 meters. Careful merchant ships can be built. 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 transformed armed merchant ships. There are often conflicts between pirates and the Navy. The navy can not rely on ships to occupy an absolute advantage. Sometimes pirates take the initiative to attack the Navy.

The biggest difference between merchant ships and warships is that the shapes of ships are different. Merchant ships will increase the width when they are built in order to carry more goods, so as to load more goods, while warships are different. They chase the enemy for faster speed, so warships are generally built thin and long.

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

Warships made of teak and other wood are usually stronger. Collision horns are often used in naval battles in this era. Collision horns can be said to be the most powerful attack method in this era except magic ships. Many times, a high-speed ship can directly block another ship by relying on collision horns.

If the wood materials used in this violent impact are not qualified, it is likely to cause serious damage to the warship.

The favorite battle of pirates is jump Gang battle, which can better preserve goods and ships. It is said that pirates in the southern sea robbed many warships in this way. Compared with the Navy, pirates are more crazy. Usually, pirates prefer human sea warfare. There are often dozens or hundreds of pirates on a pirate ship.
