Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Waves of the East China Sea [Part II]
Above the East China Sea.
The ship is swaying.
A huge warship that was clearly ahead of its time, with one hundred and forty heavy guns on board, rode the wind and waves against the backdrop of the sea.
The 37-meter-long building ship is almost the main body carved out of a huge ancient wood.
The massive hull of the ship crisscrossed the East China Sea, like a monster from the land, intending to conquer the sea in front of it.
Tokai!
This is the name that Zi Xuan gave to this large battleship.
As for the origin of the battleship?
The ancient wood used to make the giant ship was discovered three years ago when the Lan family caravan was walking around Nanzhao.
The sky was overcast, and a thunderbolt slashed down on the ancient tree, which was fifty meters high.
The tree topples and overwhelms a piece.
The Lan family caravan passing by happened to be close.
When he saw the fire, he looked over and saw that the top of the giant tree was scorched black by lightning, but the bottom half was still intact.
Seeing this, the person in charge of the caravan mobilized manpower, took the waterway, and transported it back to the Lan family's Dongting Manor with the help of the river.
After Lan Li learned that there was such a thing, he worked overtime to make a drawing and asked the masters to help transform it.
Ahem.
To be precise, the production process of the Donghai is the joint effort of the craftsmen of the Lan family and the Southern Song Dynasty shipyard.
The blueprint of the battleship was created by Lan Li.
The overall height of the ship reaches 8.2 meters, the exterior is wrapped in a layer of metal skin, there are two layers of fire output, and a main gun converted from a dragon hunting is placed in the bow sea......
This thing is a battleship!
The size of the ship, put in the future, may not be inconspicuous.
But in the era of the main plane, it was already a top-level large battleship.
In order to make full use of this ancient wooden shell that has grown for an unknown number of years, the entire ship center of the Tokai is engraved with this layer of Taoist divine scripts.
Just for this project, the Lan family spent a huge sum of eight thousand taels.
The one who drew the divine inscription is said to be from the 'high road' of Longhu Mountain.
Well.
Whether it's true or not, even Lan Li doesn't know, but the other party's 'Dao technique' is really worth the money!
After being blessed by the Daofa, the skin wrapped around the Tokai was almost integrated with the wood of the main body, and some of the 'fertilizer' that appeared as a result of excavation and carving was also turned into the original material by the Tao, reinforcing the entire hull.
This method not only made the Tokai more tough as a whole, but also made the Tokai more resistant to flames after the fusion of metal skin.
It doesn't count as fire and water.
But it's very hard to ignite! It is incinerated with high spirits, and without a five-minute continuous process, the Tokai will not be set on fire.
It's also lighter!
After the equipment was completed, the hull of the ship, which was supposed to have a draft of more than five meters, now has a draft of only three and a half meters.
That's the power of the Divine Word!
Well, it can also be said that the eight thousand taels of silver are smashed out......
It has the blessing of Taoism in the line of Longhu Mountain, and has the 'design concept' of Lanli that transcends the times and the event ability of countless great craftsmen.
The Tokai has become a battleship that should not have appeared in this era!
It is no exaggeration to say that the Donghai, which is loaded with 140 heavy guns on the hull, can defeat the entire navy of the Southern Song Dynasty on this East China Sea......
Ahem, ahem.
It's a bit of a bully to say this, after all, a battleship with artillery and a 'merchant ship' without artillery are not the same thing at all ....
As for the warships of the Southern Song Dynasty loaded with trebuchets and wooden cannons?
Can that thing be called a battleship too?
Anyway, after Ruan Xiaoer became the first captain of the Donghai, he never took the navy of the Southern Song Dynasty into account.
He has reason to be proud!!
Have you ever seen a 12-meter-long fish?
Seven days ago, during the sea trial, the Tokai killed two ends!
When he pulled the 'big fish' back to the East China Sea and learned from the second lady that this thing was called a whale, Ruan Xiaoer didn't know what to say except for a smirk.
What is Whale?
It's a sea monster!
If it weren't for the big fish becoming fine, how would it grow so big?
As for his son-in-law who returned on the 'sea monster' at sea last year?
His own son-in-law is a fairy-like character, and it is not natural to drive a sea monster?
Because of a whale hunt, Ruan Xiaoer, a water bandit who had been in the river for half his life, no longer had a sense of reverence for the sea.
So.
After learning that his housewife was going to sea to 'bombard the Dragon Palace', he agreed with excitement!
Ryugu?
Got a dragon?
That's great! It just so happens that the battleship also has a main gun called 'Dragon Hunting', isn't it?
Fuck it!
The ignorant are fearless, and they are talking about people like him.
If the dragon girl of that fairyland ran around in front of him before she died, it is estimated that Ruan Xiaoer would not be so embarrassed.
But the dragon girl didn't come.
So......
"Don't worry, mother! It doesn't matter what the East China Sea Dragon Palace or the South China Sea Dragon Palace is, as long as we find out, we will definitely not be able to run it! ”
On the deck of the Donghai, Ruan Xiaoer confidently rushed to Zixuan to guarantee the ticket.
In front of him, Zixuan, who heard this, sat on a chair with a whammy.
It's a little uncomfortable.
Feel nauseated.
I want to vomit!
Zixuan suspected that she was happy, otherwise, she wouldn't have felt uncomfortable when she took the boat before.
"Well, yes, it must be so!"
Learning the way Lan Li spoke, Zixuan also nodded.
The green clothes that had just finished dealing with Ruan Xiaoer were stunned.
"Sister, what did you say?"
"Oh... Yes? It's nothing. ”
Zi Xuan replied casually, and then looked at the blue sky above her again.
It is said that since she hit the sea, she has felt so uncomfortable.
I want to vomit, but I can't.
But the maids around her were still yelling and screaming everywhere, as if everything she saw was novel, which made her heart itch.
But I don't want to move.....
"Wow! Huang Liu, look, there seems to be a small island over there! ”
"Hee-hee-hee, yes, yes, the island is all green!"
"There's a hill on the island?"
"Wow....."
A group of girls chattered endlessly.
Hearing this, Zi Xuan finally couldn't help it, got up from the seat, and staggered in their direction.
She walked in front, and Green Yi and Dongfang Bai followed behind.
When the three of them walked to the side of the boat, Zixuan finally couldn't help it, and vomited with a wow.
"Sister, sister, are you not feeling well?"
"No... It's okay, it's just a little seasick...."
He took the water sent by the green clothes and rinsed his mouth, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief.
Zixuan, who spit out, felt much more comfortable.
Looking at the outside world, his gaze also softened.
After looking around, Zixuan turned her head.
I saw that Dongfang Bai was still competing with the red-headed eagle standing on her shoulder.
Well.
Thinking of what happened before, Zixuan couldn't help but smile in her heart.
The news that Lan Li was taken away by the Dragon Girl was received at home as early as ten days ago.
Although she was a little worried about Lan Li staying with a dragon, Zi Xuan was a little worried.
But when Lan Li assured that there was no danger, Zixuan didn't worry too much.
After all, the other party is a prisoner of Wudang Mountain, and with the existence of Zhang Sanfeng, he naturally does not dare to do anything to Lan Li, a disciple of Wudang.
In that case, why did she go out?
Half of it is because of boredom at home, and the other half is also from the heart of the green clothes.
In fact, Zixuan also knew that after she became pregnant, she became a lot lazy.
Now that you have the opportunity, it's natural to come out and relax.
Blew up Ryugu or something.....
Just talk about it.
How can it be taken seriously?
It is estimated that on the entire ship, Ruan Xiaoer, the captain, will take this sentence as a goal to execute.
Thinking like this in his heart, Zi Xuan, who was once again soft enough on the bench, squinted her eyes.
Hold your head up.
Above the sky, there are many white clouds drifting.
"Today's weather is very good..."
"Yes, just in the last few days, the yin qi around me seems to have faded a bit."
; Green agreed on the side.
"Maybe my husband is almost busy over there."
"Well, when Childe is done, he will come back."
"Hee-hee, I don't know if that idiot will bring a gift to someone...."
While speaking, Zixuan also subconsciously touched her belly.
Mother's love seems to be innate.
As long as they are pregnant, most female animals will give birth to this trait.
Zixuan is naturally no exception.
Of course.
With her excellent physique, she can be indulged in some inappropriate movements.
For example, a five-kilometer trail run with a big belly?
Ahem, ahem.
This girl hasn't been bored to that extent.
Zixuan here is chatting with Green.
The other side.
Dongfang Bai, who was leaning on the ship, was stunned when she looked at the red-headed eagle that had jumped onto her arm.
"I.... Is it so stupid? ”
Red-headed Eagle nodded.
"You're taunting me?"
The Red-Headed Eagle continued to nod.
"You nod again, and I'll roast you!"
Red-headed Hawk: "??? ”
Well, the red-headed eagle will just nod his head.....
This kind of bird domesticated by the Lan family is just relatively intelligent, and it is not yet to the extent that it can understand human speech.
So it doesn't understand what Dongfang Bai is saying at all....
But it's okay.
Dongfang Bai won't really be angry with a beast, barbecue or something, it's just a gas word.
Xiao Baibai is still pondering.
All of a sudden.
As if sensing something, she turned her head to look south.
After about thirty seconds, some ripples appeared on the calm sea.
The aura in the air also seemed to become irritable.
"This is...."
Sensing that something was wrong, Dongfang Bai frowned slightly: "Green, there seems to be something going on in the south, tell the Ruan brothers to turn around, let's go home!" ”
"Okay."
Hearing this, Green Yi turned around and left with a calm expression.
Whether there is danger or not, since Zixuan is on the ship, everything is based on safety.
Whatever happened in the southern seas had nothing to do with them.
After the green clothes left, he saw Dongfang Bai appear beside him, looking like a guard.
Zi Xuan, who also felt the agitation of the aura, whispered:
"Is that what happened?"
"It's okay, it has nothing to do with us."
Dongfang Bai shook his head.
With the protection of the Tokai, even if it encounters a storm, there is no need to worry about the safety of the group.
Besides, even if the ship really sank, with Zixuan's magical powers, there would be no danger.
They did this just in case.
Ruan Xiaoer's movements were fast.
It can be said that after receiving the order from the green clothes, the first captain of the Tokai ordered the crew to turn around and go home as quickly as possible.
As for the reason?
Well, Ruan Xiaoer actually didn't feel anything.....
That's it.
After the Tokai U-turn, about a quarter of an hour or so.
Far south, about a hundred nautical miles away, there was a sudden roar.
Subsequently.
A huge amount of fire-attribute aura was sprayed into the air.
This time, all the martial artists on the East China Sea who are above the innate level can clearly sense it!
"What happened?"
"Is there a volcanic eruption?"
"It can't be a sea monster with fire attributes, right?"
"Don't be a crow's mouth, where on this sea, where can any fire-attribute sea monsters survive....."
"You can sense it, the sound seems to be coming from the south..."
Because of the loud noise, there was a lot of discussion on the Tokai.
But it didn't cause much commotion.
The crew of the ship is still in good order.
Dangerous?
Joke!
What level of sea monster does it have to be to pose a danger to the East China Sea?
On this East China Sea, the East China Sea, loaded with 140 heavy guns, is the biggest danger!
The Tokai is traveling at the highest speed.
It has a pressure system and is supported by the reverse thrust of the sail.....
"What's that?"
After returning from the green clothes, he ran to Dongfang Bai, who was looking from afar on the watchtower, his expression suddenly stiffened.
Follow her gaze.
You can see that a huge vermilion aura is setting off the waves and surging towards the more southerly position.
"One, two ....."
On the calm sea, there are hundreds of miles apart, if it weren't for Dongfang Bai's eyes being good enough, I'm afraid I would really not be able to see clearly.
Finally.
When the seventeen or eighteen vermilion rays from the south converged, a huge tide of spiritual light that spanned nearly thirty miles appeared at the end of the eastern white vision.
And then.
Crash into each other!
'Boom Boom!! ’
Under the blue sky and white sun.
Once again, a thunderous roar sounded over the East China Sea!
It's different from the last time.
This time, after a loud noise, a huge wave rose in the south of the sea, centered on the explosion point, and spread out in all directions!!
"This ....."
Because of the distance, the giant sea of waves could not threaten the Tokai.
But the next scene made Dongfang Bai's gaze condense.
It was a red light.
Vermilion.
It seems to rise from the bottom of the sea and soar into the sky.
Because the distance is too far.
Dongfang Bai could only see a vague outline.
But no matter how she looked....
"It's... It's a.... Bird??? ”
Looking at the vermilion figure in the distance that hovered high in the sky for a while, and then flew further south.
Dongfang Bai subconsciously turned his head.
On her shoulder, the red-headed eagle that was domesticated by the Lan family for communication.
At this time.
Already on her shoulders, many unspeakable things have been done......
"You brute...."
Looking at his 'tainted' dress, Dongfang Bai grabbed the neck of his red-headed eagle and threw it on the boat.
Abandon!
"After hundreds of miles, you are still scared like this?"
