Chapter 186: Looks Like You Need Help
Following King Chuang to the harbor, a golden warship was slowly moving out of the dock in the morning light. The huge hull was a bit exaggerated, and the Eternity was noticeably shorter next to it.
"This is the new ship?"
"Yes. ”
"I don't remember any plans for this ship?"
King Chuang said: "This was decided a few days ago, and I didn't tell you because I couldn't contact you." Both Eagle and Red Moon agreed. ”
I nodded and said, "It's not a question of who agrees, you are all guild leaders, and you don't need to ask me if you decide this matter." I'm just wondering, how did it ring to build such a big battleship? Do you have the data parameters?"
"Yes. King Chuang touched his body for a long time, took out a book of materials and handed it to me. "The total length is 737.9 meters, the width is 139.1 meters, the draft is 23.7 meters, the side of the ship is 16.1 meters, and the full load displacement is 237,000 tons. Equipped with 6 sets of 24 powerful underwater thrusters. The entire ship is mostly built of black steel, with a gilded exterior for magical resistance and rust resistance. The thickness of the armor in the ordinary position of the hull is 739 mm, and the thickness of the armor in important positions such as ammunition depots, turrets, engine rooms, and conning towers is 819 mm. The main armament is 5 5-pack turrets, using a front 3 rear 2 layout. The turret uses a 520 mm caliber Shenmu cannon with a firing range of 130 km. In addition to the main gun, it is equipped with 1 main magic light cannon and 270 micro close defense magic light cannons. There are also nearly 1,000 guns of various sizes on board, and 32 magic crystal cannons. All cabins are fitted with a 1 cm layer of porous asbestos, sealed with fine hardwood, and covered with leather and sponge for sound insulation. In addition, we have used all the technology you bought from the bottom of the sea, especially the crystal resonance system, which is better than the radio. We have experimented and it can be used normally within 2000 kilometers, and there is no noise at all. In the future, we will be able to keep in touch at sea. By the way, because the current propulsion technology is very perfect, and there are observation glasses imported from Germany and crystal communication technology that you bought, so we removed the mast and left only a flagpole, which looks more concise. ”
"Yes, that's good. The performance is great, but why did you think of building such a big ship?"
"In fact, it was not our idea, but General Wu's proposal. ”
"What did General Wu say?"
"That's right, that's what General Wu meant. He said that in the past, the strength of the armed forces at sea depended entirely on the size of the capital ship. The larger the battleship and the more firepower it had, the more useful it was. System error!-0x000000008, 112619180 Later, with the development of aircraft technology and missiles, large warships gradually ceased to be suitable for the modern battlefield. But there are no missiles in the actual sense of the word in this game, and the suicide missiles of Little Japan actually have no practical value, and as for the plane, although it can be replaced by flying beasts, it lacks enough destructive power. What's worse is that the power of the current anti-aircraft weapons is too effective for those flying beasts, so the effect of air strikes is not obvious. Under this premise, maritime supremacy still has to be maintained by giant ships and super artillery. So, we took General Wu's advice and did what we could to get a big guy. ”
"What's this big guy's name?
"Two names were prepared, one was called the Tyrant and the other was called the Hurricane. Will you pick one?"
"Isn't there one on the Hurricane?"
"I was sunk by Little Japan last time, don't you remember?"
"I don't think it's better to call this the Tyrant, and the sunken Hurricane will be the same one again, so as not to mess up. ”
"That's fine. Anyway, both names are ready-made, I'll find someone to weld them to the hull. If there is no problem, I'll go and gather the fleet. ”
I nodded. "Go ahead, I'll walk around here. ”
After King Chuang left, the port gradually began to live. On the one hand, everyone began to go online gradually, and on the other hand, King Chuang gathered everyone. The whistles of the warships in the harbor sounded, and the warships in the dock also drove out one after another. I saw quite a few new ships in the fleet, and there were quite a few new warships launched during this time. Among them was an Eternal-class one, named Thor, which replaced the sunken Victory.
Hundreds of warships sailed out of the harbor one after another, and the sea of Aisin was full of warships. The naval NPCs in the alliance are also stepping on the ships one after another, and some are still loading the battleships that have not anchored. Such a huge fleet is not raised by ordinary people, and every time they go on an expedition, the supply fee is scared to death. Fortunately, we have been fighting to feed the war, and we can barely bear it.
By the time I got to the bridge of the Tyrant, the Tyrant was too large and was still busy making a U-turn. It was hard to get this big guy out of the port, and the surrounding warships had been waiting for a long time. It seems that the ship in the future cannot be bigger, otherwise it will be a problem to leave the port.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the huge fleet led by the Tyrant left Isenger and sailed towards the location of the intelligence target. Unexpectedly, the red moon happened to be online at the port, and it was only natural that it would set off with us. In addition, several dragon players such as Lin Yue and Sun Yan also followed, saying that they wanted to see the naval strength of the Descending Society.
The location given by the intelligence sent by Atlantis is in the Pacific Ocean, and the possibility that such a large fleet of ours will pass through the Sea of Japan without encountering Japanese warships is basically zero, but we are not afraid of encountering Japanese warships.
In order to cross the storm zone, I specially got a piece of Biling's skeleton and put it on the Tyrant, but when I crossed the isolation zone, it was really calm, and the sea was as calm as a lake, and there was no strong typhoon weather like the last time. We had to be careful about the journey out of the storm zone, the Japanese fleet had to expand to the periphery of the storm zone, and from now on we could encounter the small Japanese fleet at any time.
After a quiet flight for a while, the communication crystal suddenly rang. "The Conch calls the Tyrant, please answer. "The Conch is a twelve-meter-long fast detection boat, equipped with an oversized observatory and several thrusters, dedicated to the fleet's forward reconnaissance. Anyway, this kind of boat is fast, and when it encounters a problem, it turns around and runs, and no one wants to catch up.
The player in charge of the communication crystal pressed the crystal and began to reply, "This is the Tyrant. What's the situation?"
"A strange patch of mist was spotted ahead. ”
"What's so strange about fog?"
"We're having the upper hand now, but the fog is coming at us. I don't think normal fog can go against the wind. ”
"How big is the fog?"
"I don't know. The observation area was full of fog, and a thick layer on the entire surface of the sea, about 200 meters high, pressed over it like a wall. ”
"Don't go in yet, you'll be right back. I took the crystal command.
"Understood, evacuate immediately. End of communication. ”
We sailed for a few more minutes, and the reconnaissance boat rushed back from directly ahead, and at this speed no one could make a mistake even if it circled in front of the enemy a few times!-0x000000008,112619180 hit it. The speedboat entered the ship through the large entrance behind the Tyrant, and in a short time the ship's observer was on our bridge.
"President. ”
"Where is the fog you see?"
The MM walked up to the chart and said a little above: "Here." ”
A large group of us gathered around to look at the charts, in fact, only me, Hongyue and King Chuang understood it, and those dragon players were purely joining in the fun. Hongyue said: "It's not far from us!"
I shouted into the observation room above my head, "Do you see anything?"
A voice from above said, "It seems to be a shadow, probably the fog." ”
King Chuang looked at me and asked, "Shall we get around?"
Before I could speak, Hongyue said first: "We don't know how big this fog is, it may be too late to get around!"
I finally said, "Order the ships, close their formations, and get as close as possible." Small ships can only recover all of them, and in addition, reduce the ship's speed to three-quarters of the standard speed. ”
_____________________________
The huge fleet gradually began to move closer together, and the small boats were gradually put away. By the time we were ready, the fog was already visible to the naked eye. It was really like what the observation ship had reported, like a wall, big and scary. The fog was thick and thick, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside, which was not a good feeling at all.
King Chuang looked at the fog wall and said, "This is definitely not a weather phenomenon. ”
"Nonsense. There will be no fog that can move forward against the wind, not to mention the fog that Bi Ling can't dispel, how can it be a simple weather phenomenon?" I looked up and shouted again: "How far are we from that fog?"
"Three kilometers. ”
"The ships were ordered to slow down by another quarter. ”
"Yes, the ships slowed down by a quarter. ”
Seeing the fog crush over like a wall, many players ran to the window to look outside. The fog quickly devoured the battleships like a monster, and the strange atmosphere made people breathless.
"The ships report the situation. ”
"Everything is fine with the Eternity. ”
"Everything is fine with the Flash. ”
"Everything is fine with the Thor. ”
"Everything is fine with the Anchovy. ”
“……”
It seems that there is nothing wrong with the fog itself, and all the battleships have entered the fog normally. As long as we keep course, there should be no problem, this fog can't cover the entire Pacific Ocean, we can always get out.
I was thinking about the good and the bad news arrived. "President, if something happens, come and take a look. ”
It was the navigator who called me, and we all gathered to find that the compass, the sea direction marker, was spinning wildly. King Chuang was the first to shout, "Damn, what's going on?"
The player next to him said, "Don't panic, the player's map has a compass function." ”
As a result, another player exclaimed, "No, the compass on my personal map is jumping!"
"This is a big problem!" Hongyue looked at the fog around and couldn't see her fingers and said, "We're lost! Can you see anything with the observer hand above?"
"It's all fog, the view is completely obscured, you can't see anything!"
"Can't you turn around now?" asked one of the dragon players.
King Chuang explained: "Without a compass, we can't determine the steering angle, and if we don't turn around, we may be able to get out, and we will really get lost if we turn around!"
Hmmm......! The Eternity on our left suddenly sounded its whistle, and the melodious and loud whistle immediately attracted everyone's attention. All of us turned our eyes over there to see what Eternal was doing. However, we can only see a general idea of what the Eternity looks like from here, and it is vaguely not very clear.
"What's that?" said one player, pointing to the left front of the ship. Everyone looked over, and they could only see a faint outline, as if something was leaning up.
"Fuck, it's a ship!" Chuang Wang jumped to the helmsman's position with an arrow step, squeezing the helmsman aside. "Right full rudder, thruster full speed. Whistle. The battleship behind it was ordered to make an emergency stop. ”
Almost at the same time as King Chuang finished shouting, there was a loud crash on our left, and the Eternity shook violently, and the shadow in front of it suddenly flew sideways, obviously not the opponent of the Eternity. But the Eternity was suddenly knocked to a halt, and the battleships behind it couldn't stop. There was another boom, and a battleship crashed into the side rear of the Eternity. The Eternity was slammed forward, and it slammed into the ship in front of it.
The sudden appearance of the ship could no longer withstand the second impact, and was broken in two with a loud metal twisting sound. The Eternity's razor-sharp ramming angles designed for battle cut the poor ship in two. We didn't have time to care about the Eternity, when the whistle sounded again in front of us. The ship that just popped up was not a separate ship, it was part of a fleet. Hearing the whistle and the impact sound here, the other party also sounded the whistle. Unfortunately, it seems to be a little late, the dark shadow has already appeared in front of us, and at this rate we will definitely cut that guy in half.
King Chuang violently pressed the steering wheel and hit it to the left. "The whole machine reverses urgently, drives the side thrust engine, and fills the rudder on the left. "System error!-0x000000008,112619180
The Tyrant suddenly changed from a full rudder on the right to a full rudder on the left, twisting a huge wave on the surface of the sea, and the other party also cleverly accelerated forward in the hope of helping us avoid the impact. The Tyrant shuddered slightly with a loud bang. The Tyrant rubbed against the stern of the other ship and gave way to the unpleasant sound of metal, but the bad thing was that there was more than one ship on the other side. We dodged the first one but couldn't dodge the one behind. With a bang, an unidentified ship was knocked into the air by us. The sheer force slammed the bow of the ship into the hull. The Tyrant shook violently, but it didn't seem to react much. After all, we're too big.
The next few minutes were followed by a flurry of crashes and whistles, sounding like at least a few hundred ships had crashed together. There was no way to give instructions in the crystal communication, and the communication channel was so chaotic that it was impossible to hear who was saying anything.
I yelled at the communication crystal, "Everybody be quiet. "The communication frequency was quiet all of a sudden. I continued: "The ships report in order of rank. ”
"The middle of the port side of the Eternity was dented, three people were injured, no other losses, and the report was completed. ”
"The bow of the Flash was deformed, and the tail rudder was damaged. One crew member was injured in a fall, and there were no other injuries, and the report was completed. ”
"The left rear loading crane of the Thor was deformed, one crew member was seriously injured, one person fell into the water, and it was being salvaged, and the report was completed. ”
“……”
After all the reports were completed, King Chuang also reported: "Three people on this ship were injured by a fall, and one person was injured in the head by a falling wrench, and the hull of the ship was not damaged." ”
I sighed. "It's good that our battleship is tough enough!" said after glancing at the battleships huddled outside, "Who the hell did we bump into?"
Red Moon pointed to the emblem on a metal fragment hanging from the railing outside the bridge. "I think it's the Korean fleet! That seems to be their logo. ”
"The Korean fleet? What are they doing in the South Pacific? King Chuang will stay in command, and Hongyue will go outside with me to have a look. ”
I went down to the deck with Red Moon and a whole bunch of dragons, and there was a ship with half the bow rushing up to our deck. There were quite a few people running around, looking panicked. They did not have a communication system, it was inconvenient to contact them in the event of an accident, and there was no unified command center. I walked over and asked the Phantom to translate for me. "Are you Korean players?"
The other party saw that we were very nervous and looked guarded. "Who are you?"
"We are the Chinese fleet. ”
"Whew!" the guy sighed. "I was scared to death, I thought it was Japanese!"
"I told you which guild you belong to?"
"Heavenly Extreme. ”
"What? You guys are Park Eun's system error!-0x000000008, 112619180 will you?"
___________________________________________________
"Do you know our president? She's in the fleet, but I don't know where she is. The fleet is in disarray!"
"It's okay, I can find her. ”
Run back to the bridge and use the communication crystal to let the ships look for nearby warships, and report who finds Park Eun. After a while, it was reported that it had been found, and it turned out that Park Eun had collided with one of our destroyers in the back. I asked for the approximate location, spread my wings and flew over. This is a real look, the warships below are all huddled together to form a small steel island, and the scene is chaotic. The South Korean fleet suddenly came up from our left, and the first to hit it was the Eternity, after which both sides huddled together and pretended to be each other. Although I have ordered an emergency stop, the battleship does not stop just like stopping. The inertia of the battleship weighing 10,000 tons was extremely powerful, and it easily cut the thin ironclad battleship of the South Koreans into pieces. At that time, the South Korean battleships were relatively far ahead, and our warships basically hit the side of the opponent with their bows, so the damage was not great.
It was not easy to find the ship that was reported, and the entire bow of the destroyer was inserted into the South Korean battleship in front, and it seemed that it had hit a lot of light. I landed at the point of impact, and sure enough, I found Park Eun. The little girl's head was wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
"Park Eun?"
"Ziri, it's you!" Pu Eun looked at me in surprise. "Don't tell me this is your fleet. ”
"Unfortunately, that's the case!"
"Oh my God!" Park Eun sat on the ground. "Half of my fleet has been reimbursed by you, how are you going to compensate me?"
"Isn't it? You also rely on me? I can't see anything in such a fog, and you suddenly appear on our route, what should you tell me to do? If I hadn't started slowing down a long time ago, you would have all been knocked apart!"
"It's almost the same as scattering now!"
I looked at the impact incision and said, "It's okay, it's not that it can't be saved." Propping up the boat with pontoons, as long as it can be brought back to port, it can still be repaired. ”
"What about the repair cost?"
"Didn't I tell you? It was an accident, and I didn't mean to hit you. Besides, your ships have rammed me, too! One of your ships in front has climbed onto the foredeck of my flagship. Who am I looking for?"
"5555 ~ My fleet! I was going to have a long and short relationship with Little Japan, but I will be reimbursed for this little one!"
"I'm also here to fight devils, otherwise do you think I'm bored to bring more than 200 warships to the Pacific Ocean for sightseeing?"
The underworld-like middle-aged man behind Park Eun walked up and said, "Miss, the top priority now is to fix the battleships first, and then separate the battleships of the two sides. It's dangerous to be connected like this!"
"Yes, this has to be dealt with first. ”
I immediately said enthusiastically: "The anti-sinking float is not enough, I can support you." ”
"Of course you want to support, it's all your fault!" Pu Yin glanced at his flagship, "Take me to your flagship, right?" It's too chaotic here, I'm afraid it won't be separated for a while!"
"Alright then!"
Park Eun explained the matter to the middle-aged man, and then followed me back to the Tyrant. She had to make a fuss about my new ship again, but she quickly recovered. "Sister Hongyue is also there?"
"Isn't this Park Eun? This can't be your fleet, right?"
"It's my fleet, but now you've become a wounded soldier!"
"That's unfortunate!"
I interrupted their conversation and said, "How did you get here?"
"Don't mention it! We somehow got into this fog at noon yesterday and have been going around in circles, I don't know if it's too big or what's going on, we just can't get out anyway. Everything that could point the direction was jumping around, and the fog was obscuring the sun and the stars, and you couldn't see the stars pointing in the direction!
"We've only been in for more than ten minutes, and you suddenly appeared and had a close contact with us!"
"Can I be blamed for this? You don't turn on the lights and don't honk the horn, how do I know what's there!"
"Aren't you running around in the dark?"
"We've been in for a long time, it's normal for us to let our guard down, and you've only been slacking off for ten minutes, which shouldn't be. ”
"Forget it, it won't be able to get a result, so let's talk about what to do?"
Pu Yindao: "We have all experimented on all the methods we can think of, and none of them will work!"
"Did you call someone to help?"
"It's called, but it's useless! We encountered the fog in the Tsushima Strait yesterday, but you said that this is the South Pacific, so it can be seen that this fog area can move with us, and it is not clear where we will move, where are people going to find us?"
"Did you consider going your separate ways?"
"It's been experimented, but it's useless! Seven of the separate battleships are missing, and the others are colliding together! The people on those missing ships have all died inexplicably and returned to the city to be resurrected, and I don't know if I ask them. ”
"I won't give all of my warships here, will they?"
"If you have no way to leave, you can only commit suicide and go back! Of course, you can't take a single ship with you!"
"That's not going to work! My battleship is very expensive, I have to rebuild it! Besides, I don't have time, I'm about to complete a mission!"
A dragon player suddenly said, "Why don't we drop anchor?"
"Huh?"
"Yes, anchor. Anyway, the fog is moving, we don't move, it moves away on its own and we come out. ”
King Chuang said: "It's useless." This is the deep sea area of the South Pacific, and our anchor chains can't reach the bottom of the sea. ”
"Wait, I've got a solution. "I plan for them. "I don't need to anchor, I'll just go down. ”
"Huh, you go down?"
"My pet Ayana is a mermaid, and although she doesn't have any sense of direction on the water, she knows the topography of the seabed, and she can find her way along the bottom of the sea. ”
"Then how are you going to take us away?"
I said, "I'll take a rope down, one end will be tied to a float, and the other end will be tied to my system error!-0x000000008, 112619180 on my waist." I'm moving underwater, and you just have to float along. If you get out of the fog area, you'll know with a few pulls on the rope. ”
"It's a good idea. They all agreed.
A report suddenly came from the observation room above: "President, a dark shadow has been found ahead, and it is suspected that it is a battleship!"
"Honk your horn!"
The boat was in chaos, and I rushed to the loudspeaker and shouted with the announcement: "Don't come here, there is another fleet here!"
The whistles sounded almost simultaneously on both sides, but everyone knew they couldn't dodge. The battleships on our side are all crowded together, and no one can move, and the battleships on that side are still very fast, and there is no way to dodge. As the shadows grew clearer, we could all see clearly that they were some warships, and apparently another fleet.
Inevitably, there was a rumbling crash again, the Tyrant shuddered, and there was a twisting sound of metal outside, and the scene became more and more chaotic. A large battleship actually collided with a sinking South Korean battleship and suddenly jumped, and a guy rushed to the front deck of the Tyrant and landed on it. The battleships behind collided one after another, and all of them were piled together. However, it was the South Korean fleet that was unlucky for this impact, and our battleship was not directly hit but only shocked by the transmission, and the damage was almost zero.
Park Eun couldn't help but start swearing, and pulled my intercom over the radio and shouted, "Who the fuck bumped into it?
I snatched the intercom back and switched to an internal channel: "Let's see whose fleet it is?"
After a while, there was a response: "President." The other party claimed to be the open sea fleet of the U.S. Lake Guild. ”
"Tell them where we are, and let their president meet with us. ”
"Got it. ”
A few minutes later we met the other president on deck, and he was amazed to see us. Park Eun doesn't know English, so I have to translate it, anyway, the phantom can speak any language.
"Are you Chinese?" the other party asked.
I replied, "I'm Chinese, she's Korean." Ten minutes ago, our fleet just bumped into each other, and we were discussing the aftermath when you bumped into it again!"
The other party smiled awkwardly: "We can't see it either, we have begun to slow down when we hear your whistle, but the distance is so close that we can't dodge it at all!"
"Don't discuss the reason, it's already bumped into each other anyway. Now the question is to separate as soon as possible, and who knows if there is still a certain fleet coming towards us. ”
King Chuang said: "I have ordered the warships on the periphery to sound their horns every short time, and judging from the volume of the whistle, no one will collide with them again." Hearing the sound and then slowing down is definitely too late, unless the opponent is on full speed ahead. ”
"So,...... I'm sorry, what's your name?"
"John. He held out his hand.
"My name is Ziri, this is King Chuang, this is Hongyue, and her name is Pu Yin. ”
"Hello. ”
"I think we should get rid of all the ships as soon as possible, and those that are not stuck should leave first, so that we can save the ships that are stuck with each other. ”
King Chuang pointed to the ship on our deck: "What should I do about this?"
I said to the dragon players in the back, "Excuse me, we can't move these big guys." ”
Sun Yan walked up and said, "Leave it to us." I can't drive a boat, but I still have the strength. Come on, everybody, move this thing away. ”
