Chapter 402: Kill a Heaven and Earth
"Ahh Wait a minute, this feeling ......"
Seeing that the opponent put on a posture of shutting the door and beating the dog, Queen Rose immediately had an ominous premonition, and the cruel reality immediately told him that this was not a delusion. Werewolf Luo Zhengdao didn't have the heart to fight a protracted battle with his opponent, and today he caught up with the attack of the Aragami curse, and his state was very bad, and it was true that he would finish work early and go home to rest, so the incarnation of the spider queen would inevitably be a tragedy.
"Magic Card - Ban!"
"Ahh
Facing the shiny white light that seemed to swallow a qiē, the incarnation of Rose after the spider only felt dizzy, and immediately lost control of her body, and was completely engulfed by the white light before she had time to let out a terrible scream.
Fight against an enemy who is leveling the true god level and seal the other party into a blank card, this power against the sky, I believe that the senior magic card masters should have it, and Luo Zhengdao must not have this half-hanger. However, Wu Dalang plays with night owls, and the ability of this incarnation descended by Rose after the spider is not comparable to his body, and if the two sides make do with it, Luo Zhengdao's hand can come in handy.
When the light converged, a card fell into Luo Zhengdao's hand, he glanced at the card, and said with a little dissatisfaction:
"Six stars? Tsk, it's a little weaker! ”
In all fairness, in addition to those parallel demigods, the true god rank should be above seven stars at the beginning, and it is not bad for a mere god incarnation to have six stars. Just imagine, the incarnation of the spider queen just now is helpless against the seven-star death gladiatorial arena, how capable he can be, and he should know the answer to this matter with his knees.
Annihilated the incarnation of the spider queen in one fell swoop, Luo Zhengdao was sure that with the other party's cunning and slippery, he would never deliver food to the door again until he figured out his hole cards, so he returned to his human form with peace of mind, and commanded left and right:
"Retreat as soon as you blow up the passage, don't ask why."
“…… Damn humans! Damn the Magician! I'm going to torment your soul for a thousand years! 10,000 years! ”
It seems that the crazy roar from the distant darkness echoes in the underground space, but in addition to venting the anger and fear of the spider queen, it has no practical meaning for Luo Zhengdao, who has successfully retired, and the magic card master is not a soft persimmon, do you think anyone can come and pinch it casually?
Driven by alchemical mixtures, the metal four-wheeled cart drove on the road in front of the Capitol Hill of the Elven Federation, and the shape of the vehicle did not look like a car, but it was not unlike a luxury carriage without horses towing it. At a glance, you can see the cost of a high-priced luxury vehicle, and just to maintain the operation of such an expensive alchemy product, the money burned in a minute is almost equivalent to a month's living expenses of an ordinary family, and such a top-level luxury item can only be encountered often in this chaebol-ridden place, and it is categorically invisible elsewhere.
"Lord Steve, do you think that design of the Alchemy Federation can be approved by the Admiralty?"
In this smooth, noiseless four-wheeled vehicle, a richly dressed elf male turned to the big man sitting opposite him. The mage humbly asked. Steve Shire, who had an indignant expression on his face, was the master who assisted Luo Zhengdao in building the Wick Reef Mage Tower, and at this moment he said with a sad face:
"Well, the situation is not optimistic, the technology span is too large, are those guys stuffing wheat straw in their heads? They are clamoring to develop a flying iron golem, and that's it, the idea of a floating platform is really crazy to the extreme, it's too unusual, nonsense! ”
It doesn't take any advanced comprehension to hear that this Steve is big. The mage is completely unoptimistic about the Elven Federation's naval reform plan promoted by certain interest groups, and dismisses it as nonsense and madness.
In fact, most insightful and intelligent people are not optimistic about this radical plan, but there will still be more parties involved who will try to promote it in order to gain profits. It is an ironclad fact that a failed plan can also fatten many interest groups. For example, in the old world, the bald eagle came up with the Star Wars program, which lasted more than ten years, during which I don't know how much real money was spent, not only successfully dragging down the economy of the woolly bear, but also sending a lot of benefits to the domestic military-industrial complex, and the taxpayers' money went into the pockets of the major consortia in such a grand manner, and there was not even a small splash afterwards.
The economic strength is firmly in the first place in the new world, the elf federation is definitely a god-level tyrant who is not bad for money, for the Yaling Empire, which has always overshadowed itself in the navy, the elf federation, which has been continuously elected as the second oldest in the naval world, is undoubtedly in a bad mood for a long time, even if there are many common interests between the two sides, it can't stop the mutual demolition in private to have more fun.
In the past few years, in the process of supporting human exiles to contain the goblins, although the Elven Federation gave Luo Zhengdao some help, he still preferred Gaode Nidham, and by the way, infiltrated his forces like a sieve. It wasn't until Luo Zhengdao proved his value with his excellent performance that the Elven Federation changed its mind and returned to conclude a military aid agreement with him for further cooperation.
Compared with the Yaling Empire, which spares no effort to maintain the existing international order, although the Elven Federation is one of the main beneficiaries, the second child always has the urge and desire to overthrow the boss to his position, which is a careful thought that everyone knows well, and it does not need to be put on the table.
The tremendous changes brought about by military technological innovation are the gospel of latecomers, and the thickness of the accumulation of first-mover advantage will always appear sluggish and vulnerable in the face of subversive innovation. Just like ironclad ships are to wooden sail warships, but to accurately grasp the fleeting and precious opportunities, the operational difficulty is also prohibitive.
In any competitive field, the leader and the second leader will inevitably fight to the death, and the result of this fierce competition is usually for other potential competitors to take advantage of each other. To put it mildly, there is nothing more dangerous in the world than to become the second in the world, especially in the specialized field of the navy, which has a saying in the Old World that there is no second navy in the world at all, because they have sunk.
Needless to say, no matter in which world, sea power also has a strong exclusivity, since the ocean is an indivisible whole, then the sea power is of course an indivisible whole, to put it bluntly, this is a winner-takes-all zero-sum game.
The ambitious Elven Federation Navy has always been suppressed by Yaling, and it is hard to look forward to the rise of the Goblin Second Empire and the decline of the human dynasties, the fall of the main continent and the naval technological revolution, so many epoch-making events are concentrated at the current point in time, if the Elven Federation Navy has no intention of taking the opportunity to strive for the top, it would be too hypocritical to say this.
If someone advocates a direct war with the Royal Navy of Yaling and fights for sea supremacy in the New World by force, it is estimated that it can make the elves calm down a little and think about whether it is too hasty. However, the method of competition is not only to rely solely on force as a way out, and burning money left and right will not burn people, and an arms race is also a good way to make opponents bow down. As a result, the wealthy Elf Federal Admiralty formulated a "Federal Navy Ten-Year Rearmament Plan" and officially submitted a report to Congress to request funding.
The core content of the plan is only one sentence, all the latest technology is used to build ships, whether it is the tonnage of a single warship or the total tonnage of the navy, the Elven Federation Navy must seek the leading position in the world.
In the Old World, Bald Eagle relied on the Great White Fleet to sail around the world to make the European powers accept the fact of their rise, and the grand plan planned by the Admiralty of the Elven Federation was similar. The main difference is only whether the Yaling Empire is willing to give up its position, you must know that although the territory of the New World is vast, it cannot accommodate two sea powers to dominate the Seven Seas at the same time.
There has always been no shortage of goofy goblin nouveau riche nouveau riche among the rich, and more are shrewd and cold professional vampires who are fearsome to the point of being feared, and the Elven Federation will not throw a lot of gold coins into the sea for no reason, and this ten-year naval rearmament plan is completely consistent with the trend of the times.
Ironclad ships and aircraft carriers, these two new ships entered the observation field of the elven navy early, and as the human exile regime gradually grew from weak to strong, these indispensable new weapons became the darlings of military observers.
Earlier, Zeng placed an order for two ironclad ships from Luo Zhengdao through Guò Gaude Needham, and then the elves ordered two more improved pirate ironclads. After the completion and delivery of these purchased warships, the Elven Federation Navy immediately carried out a comprehensive and detailed performance evaluation work, and even sent a brand-new ironclad ship directly into its own shipyard to disassemble it into a pile of wood and scrap metal, striving to maximize the revolutionary progress made by the Bright Kingdom Navy in the field of weapons technology.
Luo Zhengdao worked hard to save money and smash equipment, such a bumpy mental journey, the big dog elf said that he couldn't understand, anyway, it was not bad money, they felt how to come. In a word, not the best, but the most expensive. Rich! Wayward!
The firepower of the pirate ironclad is too weak, the bow and stern add up to two main guns, what is this enough for, are you kidding me? It's too petty, this thing must be changed, it must be changed. You said you got it with four main guns? Hmph, the local tyrant who dares to install four main guns on the ship definitely doesn't care about installing four more guns, that's right, the elf version of the ironclad ship has a total of eight 110-pound turrets, and the gun deck that houses the secondary guns has also been increased to two layers. The composite armor of wrought iron, cast iron, and wood is too poor for the Federal Navy to be so poor, it must be made of steel armor, and it must be all steel. The tail rocket engine of the ironclad ship has insufficient thrust, how can this be broken? Why don't you double the number and try to see if you can go faster?
Good guy, the elven navy tossed this magic change, and called Luo Zhengdao, the original designer of the ironclad ship, over, it is estimated that he will not be able to recognize for a while what the ironclad ship of the elf federation tyrant gold special version has to do with his own design blueprint, this is clearly a big iron lump!
Well, the combat power of the elven ironclad ship has indeed been strengthened to the extreme, and the defense power can also be called the fortress level, but this mobility! Alas, turtle speed! That's definitely a super turtle speed level of storage zài!
