Chapter 752: The Pirate Ship
If in a normal shipbuilding workshop, a medium-sized sea ship from the selection of materials, the preliminary treatment of the general plate and keel to the final paving, to say the least, it will take three or five years to create, but Chen Hai can call on the manpower, not to mention the cultivation of the middle and late stages of the Xuan Realm, nearly forty percent of the cultivation of the spiritual realm, as many as fifty people who have opened up the sea of knowledge and have the cultivation of the Ming Realm, and there are also strong people like him and Sha Tianhe, and many jobs are much faster and more effective than mortal craftsmen.
Before, everyone just lacked detailed technical guidance, and they were eager to go to sea before Jiang Han and others chased after them, so they built this sea ship so roughly.
Now Chen Hai has decided to use the time of docking at the islands and reefs to rebuild the sea ship, such as the selection of materials in the early stage and the drying of ship boards and other materials, which can be carried out quickly and effectively under the precise control of the fire system; the paving of large ship boards, thousands of catties or even tens of thousands of catties of bulkheads, Wei Han and they can carry them on the board alone, without the assistance of equipment at all, and the efficiency is naturally ten times faster than that of mortal craftsmen.
Sha Tianhe didn't know the art of shipbuilding before, but they also knew the importance of the main keel, and cut down a yellow sandalwood tree that had grown for 10,000 years and was more than 100 meters long in the deep mountains on the east coast of the Falling Star Sea as the main keel.
Although the larger the boat, the more resistant it is to wind and waves, it is for large seagoing vessels with strong structures and well-built processes.
Chen Hai rebuilt the ship, rebuilt the sandalwood that was more than 100 meters long, only retained the toughest wood core, shortened the length of the main keel to 40 meters, and then worked with Sha Tianhe to quench the sandalwood core with pure yang true fire, progressively strengthen the main keel, and built the skeleton of the new sea ship with 16 bulkheads, and then paved the hull plates, and killed the sea beasts in the nearby seas, boiled into glue with skin and bones, and coated the inner and outer layers of the hull......
A month later, a brand new ship sailed out of the unnamed reef and back into the storm.
Thanks to Chen Hai's efforts, the size of the new ship was shortened to 36 meters, and in addition to the watertight compartment at the bottom, it was also divided into four floors, separated by hundreds of cabins - in this way, the whole ship was much smaller and more crowded, but the internal layout was much more reasonable than before, and more importantly, the structure of the new ship was many times stronger than the previous shoddy construction.
Another great advantage brought by the shortened size was that when the four-pillar Demon Punishment Array resisted the impact of wind and waves, it only needed to open the defensive spirit shield with a diameter of 36 meters to completely protect the hull.
This is twenty or thirty times higher than the previous upper limit of the impact force that it had to support a defensive spirit shield with a diameter of hundreds of meters to protect the entire ship.
In this way, even if they encounter large wind and waves, the formation mages can be calmly divided into four groups, which can maintain the uninterrupted operation of the four-pillar demon punishment array in the stormy waves, and no longer need to overdraw the vitality of the formation mages as before, in order to ensure that the hull is not destroyed by the storm.
In addition to the new installation of three masts more than ten zhang long, the huge sails are stirred by the wind, driving the ship like sharp arrows, moving towards the depths of the sea, and the stern of the ship also reserves space for installing the driving device of the wind flame power box to drive the propeller.
Although the large sea ships that infested the Fallen Star Sea mainly relied on the Water Resisting Array to sail quickly in the depths of the vast sea, a high-level Water Resisting Array that could drive hundreds or even thousands of tons of medium and large sea ships to sail quickly was extremely complicated to refine.
Even if Sha Ketian knew the refining method of the high-level water control array, he would not be able to successfully refine it in three or five years alone, and the refining of the forbidden formation at the core of the magic circle could only be carried out by one person, and others could not cooperate.
The Wind Flame Power Box is only equivalent to a Xuan-level magic weapon, and the core Heavenly Machine Prohibition is refined, so it is naturally much simpler to have a high-level water control magic array, but in the early days, it was only a single-seat Wind Flame Power Box used for heavy Heavenly Machine Chariots, and the power was still too small, and it almost required ten Wind Flame Power Boxes to be driven in parallel to carry a new medium-sized sea ship with a total weight of more than 400 tons to sail quickly in the Falling Star Sea.
Including the design of new drawings and the preparation of various components, and the refining of more than ten wind and flame composite heavenly machine prohibitions, many tasks add up, and it will take at least a year or more to complete.
Chen Hai did not dare to stay on the unnamed islands and reefs only three to five thousand miles away from the east coast for so long, so he could only vacate the relevant installation locations and leave them for later.
Looking at the temporary sheltering islands and reefs walking more and more, standing at the bow of the tall boat, Sha Tianhe turned around and looked at the white line brought out by the stern because of the rapid passage of the sea boat, at this time, there was a huge wave like a hill rushing over, slapping heavily on the shield of the four-pillar demon killing array, the people on the boat only felt a slight vibration, the spirit cover of the four-pillar demon killing array did not even flicker, and it protected the big ship without moving-after the big wave, the defensive spirit cover was quickly withdrawn, and the hull of the ship could also withstand the impact of ordinary water waves.
Sha Tianhe clicked his lips and said with a smile to Chen Hai: "Chen Zhenren is not only excellent in cultivation and can make good decisions, but he is also good at these shipbuilding skills, and it is a blessing for Jiang Dujun to recruit you as his command." ”
Zhu Mingwei and others were also worried.
At the beginning, they had no choice but to take refuge in the Falling Star Sea with Chen Hai, they had only heard of the prestige of the storm in the Falling Star Sea before, and they had not seen or experienced the nightmare wind and waves with their own eyes, and they were somewhat dismissive in their hearts.
However, when they really went to sea, seeing that the huge waves of the sky were rushing towards them one after another, and they fell into a precarious situation within two days, they knew that it was not necessarily a blessing to avoid Jiang Han's pursuit and rashly go to sea.
If they hadn't found an island and reef to live on the way, their generals would have been buried in the belly of the fish by now.
This time they rebuilt the ship and went to sea, Zhu Mingwei and Wei Han were really bottomless in their hearts, but they were trapped on the reef in the circle of Li Xu for a long time, and it was not a way, they could only follow Chen Hai out to sea, they left the island and reef at this time, and continued to sail west for three or four hundred miles, seeing that the newly built ship was many times stronger than before, and they were also full of admiration for Chen Hai, and Qingxin was following such a character to go to sea, otherwise he and Wei Han and others would be completely helpless.
There were fifteen or six hundred people on board, although most of them were from martial arts cultivation, it was not that they did not have the qualifications to cultivate the Xuanfa. In the past, most people were only from humble backgrounds, and they could only come into contact with crude martial arts inheritances, while higher-level martial arts mastery and mystical true techniques, whether it was within the sect or the sect, were secrets that could not be passed on.
After Chen Hai went to sea, although there was no space on the ship to cultivate martial arts combat skills, he directly taught ordinary generals the basic metaphysical cultivation techniques such as the Six Yang Refining Divine True Method and the Tongmai Sutra, so that everyone could seize all the time to improve their cultivation and strength.
As for Zhu Mingwei, Wei Han and other masters of the Ming Realm, Chen Hai taught them the Nine Yuan Returning to God True Solution, as well as the True Law Masters such as the Divine Sword Array, the Divine Spear, and the Heaven Splitting Halberd, hoping that some of them could cultivate the Dao Pill as soon as possible to make up for the lack of mid-to-high-end combat power.
Even the Red Yuan and Winged Demon Red Army were seizing some time to cultivate, preparing to deal with the endless killing machine that would envelop them from behind at any time.
Under the gloomy dark clouds, the hull of the ship emitted a misty yellow light because of the four-pillar demon punishment array, like a lone lamp on the sea.
If you look closer, there are only a few dozen people on the deck who are steering the drum sails, which seems extremely deserted, but who would have thought that in the cabin below the deck, more than a thousand people are practicing without wasting any time.
Chen Hai came out this time, although he brought a batch of elixirs, but these can only be used in a critical situation, and his usual cultivation relies more on the abundant heaven and earth aura on the sea and the harvest of sea beasts to gain qi and blood.
Although no one has broken through the realm in just over ten days, there are many disciples who have passed through the Xuan Realm to open up new spiritual veins.
However, what they gained more than them were those array weapon masters, they were on duty every two hours, desperately squeezing their limits, and those array weapon masters of the Spirit Clearing Realm had already broken through to the Ming Realm in such a short period of time.
It can be said that the current Chen Hai and their strength has made great progress compared to when they first set foot on the sea. There are many forces in the sea of falling stars, and they are intricate, and I don't know if Jiang Han will give up chasing them, so with every increase in strength, more people may return to Chongguo with Chen Hai alive.
Two months passed in a flash, and on this day, Sha Tianhe was diving in his quiet room when he heard the noise outside, got up and walked to the deck.
Squinting his eyes, he realized that the ship had just sailed out of a storm circle, and it was rare for the sun to shine down, rendering the still brand new ship golden yellow.
The people on the ship hadn't seen the sun for nearly a month, and they couldn't help but hug the deck at this time.
At this time, the sea was calm and calm, and there was no strong wind, and the shield of the Four Pillars Demon Punishment Array was quietly removed. Sha Tianhe stepped forward and walked behind Chen Hai, only to see that Chen Hai was also very comfortable under the sun.
Sha Tianhe frowned, looked into the distance, and saw that at the end of the field of vision, there were a few black dots scattered on the sea, identifying the direction between the islands and reefs, but he didn't expect that they were almost to the Fusang Islands.
According to his estimates, it would take at least half a month for them to arrive in the outer waters of the Fuso Islands, but they did not expect to be able to advance so much time.
Compared with the others, Sha Tianhe was not so excited, and said to Chen Hai: "Further ahead is the Fusang Islands, and this is the open sea- Most of the merchant ships that traveled between Chongguo and the Fusang Islands passed through here, and the internal forces of the Fusang Islands were criss-crossed, and no one force could strongly control the large and small islands within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, so in this sea area, there were many pirates who robbed money and plundered goods, and even some pirate forces, behind which were secretly supported by some big island sects, and their strength was not weak, so we still had to be careful. ”
Chen Hai stared into the distance and asked with a smile: "The master of Sha Da led the way and led us into the range of the Fusang Islands, probably not really hoping that we would avoid those pirates, right?" Chen Hai turned back to Wei Han and said, "Hang up our pirate flags and let our colleagues know that we are not fat sheep, but in fact, we are all pirate ships that are so poor that they are running around the sea and have to rob houses to survive!"
