I realized how stupid this decision was after I got into the water, the canal is no better than the sea, and so many warships are moving around here to roll the mud and sand under the water, and I can't see anything at all! "Ayana, follow me into the water!Ling! Hold the gate, don't let people in!" I don't want anyone to get into the Mother Earth Temple out of curiosity!

After taking Ayana into the water again, I asked Ayana to use the sonar to navigate, and directly let her present the sonar image in my brain, so that I can also know the surrounding situation! The mud and sand also interfere with the sonar, but the distance is so close, and the accuracy of Ayana's biological sonar is very high, I can barely see the 3D scan of the underwater!

The wreck was not far in front of us, and it didn't look small, about half the length of the Biling. We fumbled our way to the wreckage, and Ayana touched the hull with her hand and knocked on it. "Master, this is a metal ship!"

I touched it too. "Yes, and it's a solid steel plate!" "This is a real ironclad ship, unlike a battleship like the Biling, which is covered with wood and metal outside!

After the Biling was towed away, the sediment was quickly washed away, this is the passage connecting the two seas, the current is very fast, without the mixing of the warship, the water will immediately become clear! Finally, I can see the whole picture, it is indeed an ironclad ship, and the shape is quite modern, it is simply an advanced modern warship! It seems that this is not a local ship, I thought I saw the imprinted flag on the hull! This is a French ship!

"Shall we go in and have a look?" Ayana suggested.

"Okay!"

Ajuna hugged me behind my back and swam me into the boat through the big hole in the boat, and as a mermaid, Alena was much faster underwater than me! The boat only sank last night, there was no aquatic grass or anything like that, and the cabin was quite clean. After going around a few cabins, we finally reached the bottom of the ship, and we were surprised that this ship used thrusters! No wonder the hull shape is similar to that of a modern warship, and just now I wondered why I didn't see the sails, but now I understand!

In terms of underwater thrusters, Ayana is an expert, and she understands it at a glance. After a brief inspection, he said to me: "Quite a low-level thruster, it doesn't have much power, so it can't be fast! Moreover, this thing doesn't seem to be waterproof, and if the cabin gets flooded, it will stop running!"

"It's okay, it's just garbage!" I don't want anyone else to have a thruster of the same level as us!"Let's take a look somewhere else!"

After inspecting all the accessible holds, we found an ammunition depot, full of shells, but they were all relatively backward! We found a battery on the deck, and picked a relatively complete cannon and examined it, and the guns seemed to be more advanced than ours!

After studying the whole ship, it was concluded that the European warships were ahead of Asia in terms of structure and material technology, and they could build all-metal warships that we could not build. The Europeans also had an advantage in the manufacture of cannons, and the guns on this ship were more advanced than mine. However, Europeans are not advanced in everything. The European artillery is not powerful enough, but the artillery is very advanced, and the artillery technology in Asia is backward, but the shells are powerful! The two aspects are balanced, and the power of the artillery should be about the same as that of the Europeans! In terms of thruster technology, we should be relatively powerful so far! If the thrusters in this wreck represent the level of European thrusters, then I think the speed of European warships should not be much faster! With the above conclusions, I can understand why Ashuford asked me to buy fire yao technology, it turns out that the problem is wrong in this system!-0x000000008,112619180!

After researching, I began to think about how to clear the obstacles, this ship is very large, and it has a metal hull, although the shell is not as thick as the shell of the Biling, but it may be stronger than the Biling! It is unrealistic for such a ship to blow up, and the only way is to tow it away! Fortunately, there is buoyancy in the water, and as long as it does not leave the water, the battleship is not very heavy. He called down the three-headed dragon and the little dragon girl, and it didn't take much effort to lift the wreckage. Move the battleship into the Red Sea, find a deep water area and put it down, and it's easy to get it!

The repair of the Biling is just a simple treatment, as long as it does not affect the navigation, anyway, the entrance of the cave is underwater, it does not affect the battle, just bask in the moon tonight!

The fleet finally passed through the Suez Canal, and once I entered the Mediterranean, I scattered the pirate fleet. This is the birthplace of my pirate brothers, they all have a lot of old troops here, let them disperse to find the old department, these pirates can greatly increase the strength of naval warfare!

I didn't have much to do during the day today, so I had to go offline to the base to continue to familiarize myself with the B13 features. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the fleet should be almost in Gibraltar, so I appeared in the cabin and casually glanced out through the porthole, only to be startled by the situation outside, and there were many more ships around the Biling.

"You're here!" Su Mei suddenly ran in.

"What's going on?" I said, gesturing to the mess of boats outside. There are all kinds of boats around us, and there are even quite a few fishing boats among them!

"It was your pirate boys who brought it back!"

"Boss!" said Rhona as she walked in.

"You brought this back?"

"No, some of them were brought back by polar bears!" (the polar bear is the new leader of the Russian pirates)

"What are these things?"

"The last time we went to Asia to negotiate, we brought all the elites out, and the rest are some system errors!-0x000000008, 112619180 old women and children, it's good to find these ships!"

The last time they came out, they took all the elites away, and then they stayed in Asia to play tricks with the Japanese, and now they will certainly not find any good fleets when they come back!

"But!" Rhona suddenly continued, "We've brought back something you like!"

"What?"

Lorna led me out of the cabin to the cabin on the side of the boat opposite, and pointed out, "That!"

I followed her finger and saw a wall! There was a silver-white wall outside the porthole of the Biling! I couldn't see clearly through the small porthole, so I hurried to the deck. Next to us is a giant floater, which is called a floater mainly because it doesn't seem to have power. In front of this silvery white thing is all of our modified warships pulling it forward! 500 warships pulling one thing, you can imagine how huge it is! From my point of view, this thing is like a small island floating on the sea!

"This ...... This...... This ......!" stammered a little excitedly, "What the hell is this?"

"Our trophies!" Rhona said proudly, "this morning we ran into our own sworn enemies - the Tempest Pirates! I joined forces with the polar bear to completely wipe out this group! It's really fun to say, we have always been mortal enemies with the Tempest Pirates in the past, but the strength of the two sides is equal, and there has always been no way to take advantage of anything, but we have lost a lot of manpower in vain!" This time, we just joined forces with the polar bear, and you helped us change the new cannon and thrusters, and easily put down the scum of Tempest!"

"And how did this thing come about?"

"This is what we found at the Tempest Pirate base. I heard from the captives that the kingdom on the shore had often sent troops to clear the pirate garrisons recently, and they had no peace. It just so happened that we were in Asia, and the Tempest Pirates dominated the Mediterranean and reaped a lot of benefits. For the long term, they decided to build a city on the water to bring all their families to the sea. So they spent all their savings to get this thing!"

"City on the sea?" I looked at this thing again! "Sure enough, it lives up to its name!" "The Biling, with a total length of nearly three hundred and forty meters, is already a giant among battleships, although it is not as big as an aircraft carrier, but as a battleship, it is already quite large! But next to this giant floating object, it is like a torpedo boat parked next to an aircraft carrier!" "How big is this thing?"

"I don't know exactly how long it is, I'm going to arrest the captured designer and ask!"

"Okay, hurry up!"

Soon the designer was caught, it was an NPC, and it was European. "You're the designer of this thing?"

"Yes!" Although the man looked very gentle, he was very brave, and actually broke away from the sailor behind him and stood up. "Also, don't call my baby 'this thing'!

The legendary Noah's Ark doesn't refer to this ship, does it......?" How long is Noah?"

"You mean structured data?"

"Yes!"

_____________________________________________________________

"The total length is 23,108.6 meters, the width is 2,607.9 meters, the draft is 297.7 meters when fully loaded, the side of the ship is 207.1 meters out of the water, the height of the main command tower is 208 meters, and the mast height is 278 meters!"

Oh my God! Is this a ship? It feels like an island! No wonder it's called a city on the sea, it's really not ordinarily big!

It took me a while to recover from my excitement. "What does this thing power it does? Is it a sail or a pulp? Or do you have thrusters?"

"The design is propelled using a combination of three powers, but nothing is installed for the time being!

"Empty shells?"

"The internal compartments, propellers, pulp, sails, weapons, and living quarters that were supposed to be installed are all gone!

There was nothing in such a good thing, I was a little angry, and the tone of my voice was inevitably a little rushed: "Why don't you pretend?"

Then the designer shouted back in a louder voice than I did, "It's not all because of you! If it weren't for the sudden attack of your fleet, we'd still be building!" "May I ask you how you plan to place Noah?"

"Of course I hope that the system can be bug!-0x000000008,112619180 to get it done!but ......!"

"That's good!" the designer suddenly thought to me. "As long as you are willing to pay, I am willing to continue to serve you and finish her!"

"What?" the designer's reaction was beyond my expectations. "I attacked you, and instead of hating me, you want to help me build a ship?"

"Please make one thing clear! I'm not a pirate! I'm Luzo, the first ship designer in Teuton! I designed a ship for a pirate because my design was not accepted by the state, and during a voyage the pirates attacked my ship, and they saw my blueprints and wanted to build Noah. I had a way to fulfill my dream, and of course I wouldn't give up, so I helped design and build Noah. As long as you're willing to pay me to complete my work, I don't care who you are!"

It turns out that this designer is a German! No wonder they are so fanatical about technology! Real scientists are like this, they only care about the perfection of their work, and as for what others do with this thing, they don't have to think about it, otherwise the atomic bomb and such a thing would not have come out!

"How much does it cost to finish this?"

"I don't know about this, and those pirates didn't ask! I can only list the materials needed, and the price and labor cost are up to you!"

"Okay!" I shook hands with him, and then said to the first mate in the back, "Take Designer Luzo to the VIP room to rest!"

After Luzzo left, Rona and I came to Noah, and when we came up, we found that the shape of this steel monster was designed according to the battleship! In the middle of the entire hull is the superstructure of the ship, which is basically the base of the weapon platform, and it seems that the degree of completion is quite high, as long as the cannons are loaded, it can be completed! I don't know how many cannons such a large ship will load! It is estimated that if it is all full, he can pick a fleet for each ship!

Standing on the deck, I suddenly realized that maybe Noah could be more than just a super turret! Although the hull was designed in the architectural style of a battleship, Noah was so huge that there were straight decks on each side of the central superstructure area that were 400 meters wide! What could the horizontal deck be used for, which was 400 meters wide and tens of thousands of meters long, did not need me to explain?

Although I was pleased with the superstructure, I was completely hopeless when I entered the cabin! The inside of the hull was completely empty, as Luzzo said! There were some supporting structures in the huge hull, but the partitions between the compartments were not installed, and the stern could be seen from the bow, and the whole thing was empty!

"Boss, you're coming up too?" the big pot jumped over from the side. It's been a long time, and everyone is there!

Rose walked over and said, "What are you going to do with this thing?"

"Get it done!"

"I'll tell you beforehand, this thing won't be cheaper to build than Isinger!"

"I know! But considering its future combat effectiveness, I decided to finish it anyway!"

"Actually, it doesn't cost too much to build!" Su Mei suddenly walked in from behind. "It's really expensive for you to build the Biling at the beginning, that's because you spent a lot of money on it, but now it's different! Luzo is free labor, and the materials can be produced by Isengard, anyway, it's your own, as long as you calculate the cost! Besides, the shell part of the most wasteful material of this thing has been completed, and the rest of the project won't require too many things! As for the labor! Is there enough skeletons for the Mist Legion?"

"In this way, what I have to use is the cost of materials!"

"Of course, it's not just the cost of materials!" Su Mei continued: "I'm afraid the most expensive thing is the cannon! It's a bit of a waste for such a big battleship to be fully loaded with artillery, and the magic crystal cannon is too expensive, do you calculate how many cannons this ship can hold?"

God, it was already a sky-high price to install cannons on the Biling, but this time not only are there more of them, but they are all magic crystal cannons, what should I do!

"In fact, there are ways to save money!" Rose is worthy of studying economics, and she is the best at doing business. "We can buy the technology directly! Don't let the Dark Temple know that we need a lot of cannons for this big ship, so that we can buy the blueprints of the magic crystal cannon at a relatively cheap price, and then we can build it ourselves. I think the magic crystal cannon is similar to the electronic products sold outside now, the material cost is very low, but the technology is expensive!"

"Let's talk about it first!

"Purple Sun, come out quickly, we're in Gibraltar!" King Chuang suddenly called outside.

We quickly ran out, and when we got back to the Biling, I took the binoculars from the first mate's hand and looked at the sea ahead. I can clearly see a large area of glittering warships appear in the strait ahead, it seems that this is the Imperial fleet!" "First mate!

The fleet soon stopped, and our Biling sailed alone. The Imperial fleet in front of me was docked on the shore in two long snake formations, stretching for dozens of kilometers! As the distance approached, I could already see the whole picture of Gibraltar. According to the sea charts, it is called Gibraltar in the game, and the name has not been changed, but the terrain seems to have changed. The coasts on both sides of the Mediterranean gradually converge here, and finally a strait is formed at the mouth of the sea, which is only four or five kilometers wide. The shores on both sides of the strait are not sandy beaches but vertical cliffs, which rise twenty or thirty meters high and are completely flat at the top. This terrain is simply the best terrain for setting up the battery, the vertical cliff can protect the battery from the invasion of personnel, and the height of more than 20 meters creates a drop for the Qishang battery, thus increasing the firing range.

Now at this distance, I can see the silver-glowing cannons on the cliffs on both sides, and many of them seem to be magic crystal cannons!

But the reason why I dare to go here is to bet on the mistakes of the British system!-0x000000008,112619180 How heavy do we see! Based on the news of the attack on Indonesia that I released in advance, the British should know our combat effectiveness. For more than a day, they knew the whole thing pretty well. They should know that if they attack us, we will definitely lose, but the Imperial fleet will also be transformed from the world's first fleet into a small fleet that can be bullied by most fleets at will!

In the fleet ahead, a battleship not much smaller than the Biling also drove out, and the flag-bearer wrote that the other party was an envoy ship! This advanced battleship slowly approached, and an authentic British knight appeared in the bow. When the two boats were close together, he stood on the side of the boat and held out his hand to me!

The two battleships were about the same height, and now they were close together, and the two of us could shake hands across the side of the ship while standing on our respective ships.

"Hello, I'm Ziri from China!

"Hello, I'm Baja, Englishman. This is my Imperial fleet, and the guild to which it belongs is the Imperial Alliance!"

"Hello!

The two of us began to be polite in boredom, and then Baha said let's pass and inspect his fleet by the way!, though I was a little worried, but ordered the fleet to move forward. Anyway, it always has to be passed, and I can't help it if it's a trap! But I believe that the British will not want to fight me to the death, even if they beat us, they will not be able to get any benefit! And we are now more certain than at the beginning, that is, the British do not know that Noah is empty. When Bach and I were polite just now, he tried to talk to me many times, and he was very careful with this big guy he had never seen before! I was playing Tai Chi with him anyway, but I didn't tell him what Noah was, but just kept hinting at him that this was our secret weapon! I believe that the British would not dare to fire indiscriminately if they could not figure out the situation!

After my fleet began to move forward, Baha's warships left the Biling and went to the front to serve as a guide ship for us, and I hurried to hurry up and make small moves! First of all, let Ayana go into the water to see if the mouth of the sea in Gibraltar was deep enough! The Biling was nothing, but Noah's draft was almost 300 meters, and he couldn't do it carelessly! In addition, he quickly informed the rest that everything was going according to plan!
