【Chapter 430】 The Blackstone's First Voyage
"Nightmare evil. Vanessa's sword eyebrows thickened slightly, and her resolute face rarely showed a little worry. The Book of Genesis is a record of the battle of antiquity in the church, in which the Holy Spirit swept away much chaos and evil and became the glorious Genesis of the One True God.
The Holy Spirit created the world of light and gave people food, wealth, and peace. Its greatness is undoubted, its splendor will shine forever, and all evil enemies will eventually disappear in its light.
Tens of thousands of years ago in Genesis, the Holy Spirit defeated the evil of bloated flesh, the evil of the brutal trembling, the evil of cursing the black tide, and many other evils, and recorded in detail the nests of all evil, the seals of all evil, and the minions of all evil.
Only the content of the evil of nightmares seems so thin and so obscure.
On the second page, there is a picture of the Holy Spirit surrendering to the evil of nightmares, and the majestic Holy Spirit shining with golden light is held high above the clouds, and there is a faint outline of the Land of Light behind it. At the bottom of the page, an ethereal cloud of golden light pierced through the mist, revealing a vague outline with countless twisted eyes, an indistinguishable body, and a huge black hole-like mouth.
In the Church, the place of nightmare evil is called the abyss of nightmares, and the good and pure souls are tempted by lies and fall into the abyss, and they will suffer endless nightmares and never reach the other side of the light.
In addition, there is no specific description of the evil of nightmares in any text. Over time, the evil of nightmares is the weakest, and it will only create nightmares, bewitching some people who are not mentally strong, making waves and unable to touch the real world, and gradually forming a consensus of the church.
The solution to the evil of nightmares is simple - those who are firm in their faith, have no fear, and believe in the light, that is, they are not haunted by nightmares.
But is that really the case?
Is Nightmare Evil really the weakest one?
The war between the kingdom of Tia and the orcs lasted for hundreds of years, during which the orcs were indeed rampant and powerful, but in the end, they were driven into the jungle, and the light of the Holy Spirit was still brilliant.
So, this time Vanessa didn't have too much to worry about the orcs.
However, the events of Blackstone Collar and Dao Tan Town made her realize that a nightmare evil that was not well known in the Book of Genesis and was generally considered to be a disease of scabies in the church had appeared.
This is also evidenced in the revelation given to her by the Holy Spirit.
Nightmare evil has been watching.
The development of the war situation surprised her.
The wars between the Templars and the Orcs, whether it was Daotan Town or Waterdeep, were evenly matched, and the battle line was sometimes retreating and advancing, although it was scorching, but it was common in all previous wars between humans and beasts.
However, in the war against the Black Stone Collar, there was no victory. Cardinal Mardrán's fate is unknown, the Knights of the Holy Spirit are captured, the Templars are defeated, and the Golden Icon collapses......
What about the price of the other party?
Unworthy!
According to Kobraenko, the Templars were defeated in such a way that they were broken up in the middle of the charge, and the proud Shield Barrier did not last long.
Eventually, Martels led a dozen Templars into the enemy......
However, there is no then.
The Golden Icon fell, and Martels surrendered.
This is far more terrifying than the orc legions, and the survivors who escaped by luck can't even accurately describe the Blackstone Collar's attack.
Everything is happening so weird.
Compared to the orcs, the Blackstone Collar is even more disturbing. After several battles, the Blackstone Collar was almost unscathed, while his own side suffered heavy losses.
In a sense, the Blackstone Collar is small, but the threat is greater than that of the Orcs.
The greatest fear in the world is the fear of the unknown.
Orcs go straight to the point, nothing more than with their strong bodies, and warriors infused with the power of the Holy Spirit can at least fight head-on, regardless of victory or defeat. And the Blackstone Collar - you don't even know how to lose the war.
In Vanessa's order to Koblanko, the Blackstone Collar was downplayed, but it was just to stabilize the morale of the army, but in fact, he was extremely nervous and vigilant.
Moreover, the southward journey of the Teacher's Compassion Envoy made people even more aware of the unusual things that were happening. At the moment when the struggle for power in the royal capital was in full swing, the Holy Envoy of Mercy, as her strong supporter, should have sat firmly in the royal capital and resisted the other two Holy Envoys in order to seek the support of the nobles of the royal capital.
However, at such a critical moment, the Messenger of Mercy chose to leave the royal capital.
The reason - mentioned in the letter.
It was a revelation from the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit was very angry at the pagan multiplying and expanding in the land of the kingdom of Tia, believing that the Holy Spirit's inability to educate and rule had failed the Holy Spirit's favor and blessing.
In the end, the Holy Envoy of Mercy had to choose to go south and take charge himself.
What kingdom power, what lofty position, the Holy Envoy of Mercy is a mortal after all, and in front of God, there is no room for excuse or refusal, not at all.
This also meant that Vanessa almost lost the opportunity to win the support of the nobles of the royal capital, and his younger brother Sterling also lost the opportunity to win the throne of the jewel.
However, Vanessa was not discouraged and disappointed, and her ambitions did not stop because of this, but began to think of another way out - the throne of the empire, which was nothing more than a throne studded with jewels.
True power is the power given by the Holy Spirit.
As long as you can completely sweep away the heretics of the Black Stone Realm and destroy the Nightmare Demon, this feat will definitely be favored by the Holy Spirit.
It's also her only chance.
......
"All in place, the Blackstone's first sea trial, ready to begin. ”
On the calm Ness River, on a small pier made of cement and red bricks, a strange boat is quietly crossing the water.
The ship was about five meters long, with a cocked front section and a square tail that looked quaint and strange, and the stern part of the cabin was also equipped with a bunch of strange contraptions.
Alice, with blonde hair fluttering in the air, stood in the flat cabin, fiddling with three metal wrenches erected on the side of the ship, and was waving at Elena at the bow of the boat.
Elena standing at the bow of the boat, holding the round rudder in her hand, her expression was a little nervous, turning the rudder left and right, feeling the comfort from the metal connecting rod below: "It's ready." ”
USS Blackstone, a crystal powered experimental vessel.
Converted from an ordinary barge, the aft unit is a modified version of the crystal power engine, directly connected to the propeller thruster at the stern, flanked by crystal power supply modules - neatly arranged and encapsulated in clusters of cut crystals.
As for the wrench in Alice's hand, it can be regarded as the core device of the entire ship, and it is also completely designed and manufactured by her and Veronica after many times - the crystal governor.
The principle of the crystal power engine is similar to that of the electric motor, the speed is directly proportional to the size of the magic flow, and the size of the magic flow is different from the current, there is no concept of voltage, but depends on the purity and thickness of the crystal transmission line.
In order to make the boat start smoothly, the muzzle velocity cannot be too high, and the speed needs to be reduced when encountering steering during sailing. Therefore, there are many inconveniences in the fixed-speed crystal power engine.
For this reason, the crystal governor was introduced.
The principle is not complicated, three wrenches control three speed control modules, each speed control module is composed of two groups of semicircular crystal head butt fitting, and then with the transmission gear, so that the crystal head can rotate the butt, the area of the docking surface controls the size of the magic flow.
When not activated, the two semicircles are symmetrically separated, forming a zero-contact surface through which no mana flows. The gear rotation gear is divided into three gears, and the wrench is moved for the first time, and the semi-circle rotates to form about one-third of the contact surface, and a tiny flow of magic passes through it, and the crystal magic engine starts to start.
Turn the wrench a second time to create two-thirds of the contact surface, increasing the flow of mana and increasing speed. Turning the third wrench, the two semicircles fit perfectly, the full mana flow passes, and the crystal transmission line reaches full load.
The remaining two wrenches work on the same principle and each controls a separate crystal transmission line. When all three wrenches are activated three times, they reach full capacity, which is the maximum speed of the Crystal Magic engine.
To sum up, the mana flow of the Crystal Magic Engine is adjusted by the governor and has nine different revs, representing nine different speeds.
The wrench pulls up when you need to speed up, and down when you need to slow down, the operation is very simple.
The first voyage of the Blackstone experimental ship was to confirm the reliability of the crystal power engine and crystal governor, and the propeller device was from Qin Song's guidance.
As the helmsman, Elena was a little nervous, and the rudder in her hand was also specially designed, which was not too difficult for Alice. The ability to adjust the angle of a large slurry on the axis of the stern of the bottom of the installed ship, responsible for the direction of travel of the entire ship.
On the banks of the River Ness, Leah, Linda, Luna and Veronica all took time out of their busy schedules to witness the Blackstone's first sea trials. This is not just a small boat, once the viability of the Crystal Dynamic engine has been proven, it can be taken one step further and transplanted to a larger ship.
The port of Daotan, which now belongs to the Blackstone Realm, includes the Princess's ship, the warships of the Duchy of Vendôme, and the plundered pirate ships, with as many as 16 ships.
These ships are all sailboats, too dependent on wind power, once all converted to crystal power plants, you can completely get rid of the limitations of wind power, after the sailing ships that occupy the space of the ship are removed, you can add naval guns derived from machine guns and recoilless guns.
With advanced power systems and powerful firepower, an invincible fleet at sea came into being.
In this era, it is bound to grasp the hegemony of the sea.
To this end, a dry dock dedicated to the conversion of ships is being built in the port, led by Veronica's father Robles, and the construction team is in full swing.
"Elena, adjust the rudder and get ready to start!"
"Roger!"
Elena took the rudder and steered the boat toward the calm, wide river.
Alice took a deep breath, grabbed the first wrench and gently pulled it upward, the first set of crystal governors reached a third of the contact surface, and the magic flow was connected to the crystal power engine from the crystal function device.
The propeller at the stern of the boat began to spin at its lowest low speed, making a splash of white water.
