Chapter 463: Technology and Armament
On the side of the demon clan, there is Green, the "Demon King", to suppress the audience, and everyone is as well-behaved and obedient as a loyal dog in front of the Demon King, and always complete the orders issued by the Demon King with 100% enthusiasm! But in a parliamentary state like the Elven Republic of Woodonasi, the communication between the various departments is not so "pleasant".
The destruction of fifteen elven warships shocked the high-ups of the Elven Republic of Woodonassee and the Elven Kingdom of Haverella. You must know that the demons no longer have warships, and the initiative of the war is completely on the side of the elves, if the battle situation is not good, you can choose to retreat! It is unbelievable that such a huge loss was made in such a situation.
Woodonassee Elven Republic, Council of Elders.
As the supreme authority in the Elven Republic of Woodonasseh, the Council of Elders is very "fair" in its selection. As long as you are a citizen of the Elven Republic of Woodonathy, then when you step into the Golden Tier and master the power of the Laws, then you will be given a place in the Council of Elders. The overall strategy and policy of the state is determined by the Council of Elders through "voting": five votes for Legendary, two votes for the Golden tier with the Noble Phantasm, and only one vote for the Golden tier without the Noble Phantasm.
The very "fair" decision-making method fully reflects the political concept of "meritocracy" in the Elven Republic of Woodonasseh. Due to the involvement of the "Elders" of the Elven Republic of Woodonasseh in the Battle of Banwan Harbor, the battle caused a great deal of repercussions in the Council of Elders.
So after the battle, Ophelia Silvermoon returned from the front to the capital of the Republic: Woodonasseh.
Inside the huge Ancient Tree of Life, more than thirty elders and elder representatives sat on chairs in the conference hall, looking at the podium in the center of the conference hall. Ophelia Silvermoon stood on the podium in the center of the conference hall and placed the torpedo she had brought back from Banwan Harbor on the podium.
"This demon's new magic weapon. This is a magic weapon invented specifically for our warship, which attacks the battleship from below, and when it touches the bottom of the ship, it will explode and destroy the bottom of the battleship! All five of our warships were sunk by a sneak attack by this weapon. Ophelia Silvermoon stood on the podium and explained the course of the war to the crowd.
"Elder Silvermoon, as far as I know, in addition to the five warships under your command, there are also ten battleships of the Haverella Elves that were destroyed by the Demon Ship Lady because of you." A Wood Elf male grinned and raised his hand, "Do you have anything to say about that?" ”
Ophelia raised an eyebrow: "I don't want to criticize the combat effectiveness of our allies. As for the reason for the destruction of the Haverilla Elven fleet, I have submitted it to the Naval Academy as a typical example of the opposite battle. If you're interested, Elder Windfury, you can check it out at the Academy, and I don't want to comment on the performance of Haverella's elven fleet here. Ophelia paused, "I'm standing here as an elder of the republic, discussing with you the future direction of the republic. This time, the demons showed a strong spirit of innovation in the naval battle! This special anti-ship magic weapon is a typical example. The war between us and the demons may not be as easy as we expected. ”
"Oh~ Elder Silver Moon, I think this concern of yours is unnecessary." A female elf with three elemental balls floating on her head said with a smile, "Although the new weapons of the demon clan have indeed made you suffer a little loss, this is just the result of relying on sneak attacks. Now that we know about the existence of such weapons, we can avoid it altogether by strengthening the bottom of the ship a little, or paying a little attention to the situation under the sea. As you said in your previous report, this weapon is not fast and is easy to intercept. ”
"No, the problem is not the weapon itself, but the ability to innovate that the demons have shown!" Ophelia slapped the table, "In this battle, I not only encountered this kind of ship magic weapon, but also encountered an extremely long-range and extremely high hit dwarven cannon!" ”
"Oh~ Elder Silvermoon, in my opinion, this kind of worry of yours is simply meaningless. The demons are now blocked from trading routes, unable to import pure gold, nor can they import all kinds of alchemy materials, and now they can't even match the materials needed for the 'water walking' potion. When the Demon Race's 'Water Walking' Elixir Reserve is exhausted, what will the Demon Race do to fight us? The elven elders were very optimistic, "One is not a warship, and the other is no sea knight, are they going to rely on shore defense guns or this kind of mine to fight us?" ”
Elven Elder: "Oh~ Elder Garland, have you forgotten the demon army?" If they lead a large army over the Fangs of Frost and Snow and attack the Fairy Forest, it will still be very terrifying! ”
"Oh~ If that happens, we'll do everything we can to support our dwarven allies." The elven elder named Garanord smiled, "The Eastern United Kingdom is one, and we will never allow any of our allies to be attacked by hostile forces!" ”
"But the demons' will to fight is indeed commendable." An elven elder praised, "Unfortunately, there are some things that cannot be solved by willpower alone. ”
"Oh~ Elder Broadfield, you're wrong. Will can create miracles, as long as they are strong-willed, they can walk directly from the sea like those warrior monks! ”
The elders were in harmony.
Elven elders are a group of "wise" people who possess a wealth of knowledge and experience. Based on their past experience, the elders can easily come to a conclusion: after the demons lose their trade routes, they will soon fall into a state of shortage of materials, although it may be okay to eat, but there is no way to do it like some luxury goods and various irreplaceable military supplies. There is a shortage of military supplies, and there is no way to fight this battle anymore.
What the? You say that the Demon Royal Cuisine can solve the problem of material shortage by consuming a lot of mana? What the hell is that? The old man has never heard of it!
It was obviously impossible for the elven elders to judge the situation in front of them with something and technology that had never appeared before. Therefore, the elven elders are very optimistic about the situation of the war. In the eyes of the elven elders, the demon warships were all wiped out, the trade routes were cut off, and the supplies were in short supply, unless they completely turned the table and launched an attack from the land, they could only accept their own peace negotiation conditions.
As for whether the demons will really attack from land...... That's not a problem. Anyway, even if the demons attack, the first thing to fight is the Ritra Dwarven Kingdom, and the elves can still hide behind the Frost and Snow Fang Mountain Range to watch the excitement, ah, no, it's to help the dwarf allies!
In the face of the optimism of the Council of Elders, Ophelia felt a little uneasy. Intellectually, Ophelia felt that the elders' analysis and judgment were very reasonable, and no matter how desperately the Demon Navy struggled, there was no chance of turning the tables. But Ophelia always had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, as if something crucial had been overlooked......
At this moment, Ophelia looked at the torpedo on the table, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
"Elders! Have you forgotten the Demon Floating City? Haven't you considered that it is possible for the demons to use their magic technology to invent some special weapons to fight us? ”
Elven Elder: "Oh~ Elder Silvermoon, as an emerging technology, the magic guide technology does have its own uniqueness, but you want to say that those demons rely on the magic guide technology to invent some special weapons to deal with us...... Well...... Can't they produce energy on the floating island? If they can really mass-produce floating islands like shipbuilding, I don't think we can really be defeated by them. ”
"Hahaha~ This is indeed possible! Isn't magic technology known for being 'cheap'? ”
The elven elders were full of confidence.
Mass production of floating islands, Green really can't do it, and even the restoration work of the floating island Angsari has to be stopped due to "lack of materials". But if it is only a mass production of some "battleship models", Green feels that with his own industrial capacity, it seems that it can still be done.
Demon King City, Chengxia Lake.
Green is visiting the trial operation of the new ship with military representatives.
"After some discussion some time ago, we have redesigned the 'Ship Niang Ocean Navigation Module'. Compared to the original model, the new 'Ship Girl Ocean Navigation Module II' is not only faster, more defensive, and more firepower, but also greatly improves the comfort of sleeping! At the same time, the 'Ship Niang Ocean Navigation Module II' is also equipped with a diving function, which allows the Ship Girl to dive into the water and avoid the search of the enemy fleet. ”
Next to the castle lake, Green looked at the ship's mother in front of him, who looked a bit like Pippi shrimp.
The entire ship's armament is black, with a layer of carapace on the outside. The ship's mother can step on the belly of the shrimp or sit on the belly of the shrimp. As long as the front of the shrimp is bent up, it is a shield in front of it; If the Phi Phi Shrimp is raised, then the head of the Phi Phi Shrimp is the muzzle of the cannon; If you roll up the Phi Phi Shrimp, the Phi Phi Shrimp becomes a closed sleeping pod; If you press the shrimp completely into the water, the shrimp is an accelerated water jet – water enters the head of the shrimp and then sprays water from the buttocks, allowing for high-speed sailing.
Anyway, it's quite functional, and it seems to be quite practical, but Green can't be happy - why did my ship's mother's equipment suddenly become a deep-sea painting style!?
"Looks amazing." Cardier looked at the document in her hand, her face full of excitement and excitement, "This ship girl doesn't need the support of the 'water walking' spell to make people float?" ”
"In the sleep pod mode, you don't need to consume any energy to float on the sea." The director of the research institute introduced with a smile, "But in the movement mode and combat mode, you still need the ship's own ability to walk on water, otherwise the movement speed will become very slow!" ”
"Can I try it?" Cardelle's face was full of excitement.
The director of the institute looked at Green.
Green nodded slightly.
"Yes." The director of the institute instructed the researcher next to him, "Earwood, take him there." ”
"Okay." The researcher looked at Kardier, "Your Excellency, come with me. ”
Cardier is not a "professional ship girl", and she has not mastered the three-ring spell of "water walking", so she must rely on potions to gain the ability to walk on water.
After drinking a bottle of potion, Cardier came to the side of the ship's mother's arm, and under the guidance of the researcher, walked up, grabbed the driver's handle of the ship's mother's weapon with both hands, and then pressed the ship's mother's arm into the water.
Under the guidance of the researcher, Cardier injected magic into the ship's mother's armament, and then, the ship's mother's armed head began to absorb water, and a column of water erupted from the back of the buttocks, and at the same time, the ship's maiden armed rushed out at a very fast speed!
"Wow!!!!" Cardier screamed, her body involuntarily leaned back, and the head of "Pippi Shrimp" was brought forward by Cardier.
The current was lost, and the ship's forces slowly slowed down and stopped.
"Press your head into the water!" From the shore, the researchers shouted, "Press your head into the water and you're activated!" ”
Hearing the researchers' reminder, Cardier took a deep breath, leaned forward, and pressed the head of the shrimp into the water.
"Poof! ~" Pippi Shrimp began squirting again, and rushed out of the lake with Cardier.
"Wha! That's a great speed! Kardell exclaimed, "Cool! It's so cool...... Oh my god! What a turn this thing is! ”
Cardier crossed the lake at breakneck speed and rushed toward the opposite shore. Faced with such a situation, Cardier hurriedly lifted Pippi Shrimp's head, but the huge inertia still carried Cardier forward......
"Oh! No! ”
Cardier rushed straight to shore and flew into the sky, then fell from the sky.
"Bang! ~”
"Bang! ~”
Kardell landed on the ground with her face, and the ship's maiden fell not far from Kardier's side.
"That's pretty good." Green stood in place, looking at Kardell's embarrassed appearance, his eyes full of smiles, "With this kind of speed, even the elven battleship may not be able to catch up with it." ”
"Not necessarily. Battleships can reach the same maximum speed with acceleration magic, but the weight of the battleship is there after all, and it takes a lot of time to accelerate to start to achieve such speed, and it is far inferior to our ship's ocean-going mod in terms of turning. Of course, by the time the battleship accelerates to start, our ship's mother is estimated to have already run far away. A bright smile appeared on the head of the research institute, "All of this is thanks to you, Lord Demon King. The concept of the 'jet engine' that you came up with earlier gave us a lot of inspiration. Although we are spraying water, not jets, but the speed is faster than the jets! ”
"I'm amazed at how quickly you guys were able to produce results." Green nodded, "By the way, what about the energy consumption during driving?" ”
"Very low! It's even lower than you think. The director of the institute smiled, "The mana consumption of an hour is only six mana, and you can travel eighty kilometers. A single magic crystal can last days of sailing! ”
Green's eyes lit up: "It seems that all the previous ships and mother's weapons can be eliminated." No, even all the ships are almost eliminated! ”
"Oh, my lord, you're overblown. At present, the 'Ship Niang Ocean Navigation Module II' is not enough to completely replace the position of the battleship, after all, the transportation capacity of the battleship is quite powerful. "The director of the institute is very modest, but the content is very arrogant - it is almost as if all warships can be converted into transport ships.
Green chatted with the director of the institute while some soldiers and researchers worked together to retrieve Cardier and the ship's mother.
"Don't count what you just had, do it again! I'll try again! ”
Cardier wanted to continue trying out the new shipwive, but Green didn't have that much time for him to mess around.
Green turned his head to look at one of the ship's maidens in his entourage, "Betty, you go and try." ”
"Yes." Betty saluted Grimm and walked slightly nervously to the advancing ship.
Betty's ship girl is one of the ace ships of the East China Sea Fleet, and has participated in dozens of large and small naval battles, and all of them survived. After declaring war with the elves, Betty participated in almost all the battles with the elves, not only did not die on the battlefield, but made a lot of meritorious deeds, and was one of the best ace ships in the kingdom.
As an ace ship, Betty's combat power may not be strong, but her survivability is absolutely strong! Because of this, he was able to turn evil into good fortune many times, avoid death, and become one of the ace ship girls in the kingdom.
Betty walked over to the ship's mother's arm.
With Cardier's previous "false demonstration", Betty did not rush to ride this ship's mother's weapon, but learned from the researchers very seriously about the use and function of this shipgirl's weapon.
After understanding the functions and use of the ship's mother's armament, Cardier performed a "water walk" on herself, and carefully sat on the ship's mother's armament.
Inject magic and activate the ship's mother's armament!
"Poof! ~"Accompanied by a fierce water column, Pipi Shrimp took Betty like a jet ski, galloping in the water.
Betty was racing through the water, spinning and spinning at a super-fast speed, feeling the thrill of the wind. After a few turns, Betty slowly got used to the feeling and then began to operate the jet ski, doing all kinds of thrilling moves.
"It seems that our ace shipwreck admires this jet ski." Green looked at Betty galloping and couldn't help but feel that his hands were a little itchy.
"Lord Demon King, do you want to go up and try it?" The head of the institute asked with a smile on his face.
"Oh~ not for now." Green smiled and shook his head, "Let's go ahead and test the other features." ”
"Yes, Lord Demon."
Under the guidance of the researchers, Betty slowly stopped on the surface of the lake in front of Green.
"Next, test the diving function. Once you disarm yourself from walking on the water, both you and your Ship's Arms will sink into the water. The researchers began to instruct Betty on how to operate the ship's wives in the water.
After some instruction, Betty put on her goggles, removed the water walking spell effect on her body, and then applied an underwater breath to herself, and then sank into the lake with the ship's mother.
The water in the lake was not very clear, and when Green and his party came to the lake, they couldn't see the water at all. Betty's position and speed can be perceived through detection magic, but the feeling is different from seeing it with your own eyes.
After more than ten minutes, Betty floated up from the water, activated the drainage system, drained the water inside the ship's mother's arms, and floated on the water with the ship's mother's arms.
"As long as the water inside the ship girl is drained and the water channel is closed, then the 'ship mother ocean voyage module type II' ship mother arms can float on the sea with the ship mother without any spell support." The director of the research institute explained to Green, "The existence of this function can ensure that even if the ship girls have no magic power, they can rest at sea. ”
Betty swam to the shore and walked ashore with the ship's mother in her arms.
"How does it feel?" Green asked Betty.
"Excellent!" Betty took off the goggles off her face, "It's like flying!" ”
"Oh? How does it compare to Wyverns? ”
"Hmm......" Betty thought for a moment, "Wyvern can't take me on a dive." ”
After the speed test, the next step is the defense test and the shelling test.
In order to conduct the test, the researchers quickly instructed the monsters to pull up the magic cannon and place it on the shore. Betty then piloted the Ship's Lady Armament again, and went into the water, pulling Pippi Shrimp's head up like a wall in front of her.
"Boom! ~”
The bombardment of the magic cannon smashed against the iron wall of the ship's mother's armament, splashing a ripple.
"The head shell of the 'Ship Niang Ocean Navigation Module II' is made of dragon scales, which is not only lightweight, but also extremely high in defense, and ordinary shelling cannot hurt it at all!" The director of the research institute proudly explained to Green, "Unless we encounter a melee attack from the Golden Knight, our ship is invincible!" ”
Green chuckled, "That's a must." After all, the cost is quite invincible. ”
"You get what you pay for." The director of the institute also seemed a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, these are the little things. Solve the question of 'whether there is' first, and then consider the question of 'quality'. "Green has a good idea of that.
After all, the thing in front of me belongs to the "first machine", everything is made according to the best standards, and it is natural that the price is a little more expensive. When it comes to mass production, we will definitely find a balance between quality and cost - for example, we can use lobster shells instead of dragon scales.
Since the defense of the dragon scales themselves is so strong, the defense test can't detect anything at all. So Green quickly skipped the defense test and moved on to the next test: the fire test.
In order to maximize the firepower, the entire ship girl is armed with a super-large magic cannon itself. The channel originally used to absorb water and spray water can also be used to gather mana, compress the mana, and then fire the magic cannon!
Under the guidance of the researchers, Betty stood on the surface of the water, picked up the whole shrimp, held it in her arms as a cannon barrel, and aimed her head at the target.
The magic converges in the mouth of the shrimp. When the magic power was gathered to the extreme, a ray of magic light shot out from it, instantly blasting the target into slag.
"The effective range of the magic guide cannon is two kilometers, which belongs to the standard of the ship-based magic guide cannon!" The head of the institute explained to Green, "That's why we use dragon scales to make shells. Because only by using dragon scales, the strength of this ship's mother's armament can reach the standard of the magic guide cannon. ”
"But in this case, when the artillery is carried out, not only will it lose its ability to maneuver, but it will also have no defensive power. Isn't it the end of an arrow shot at someone during the shelling? ”
"There's no way around it. When shelling, you have to rely on your teammates for defense and cover. Or equip the Ship Girl with an additional pair of Floating Shields to increase the Ship Girl's defense. ”
"Hmm...... Well, it looks like that's all there is for now. ”
Although the 'Ship Niang Ocean Navigation Module II' looks a bit ugly, Green has to admit that the mobility, defense, and attack power of this weapon are very good. As long as there are a dozen or so ships equipped with this weapon, they will definitely be able to abuse the elven fleet out of the air!
After the main abilities have been tested, the last "sleep pod" feature is a bit more subtle.
Pippi Shrimp rolls up to form a sleeping pod, but according to Betty, it's not comfortable to lie in at all, it's all sides, and it feels like lying in a coffin. For Betty's evaluation, the advice given by the director of the institute is: wear a thicker one, and then wear a hat as a pillow.
After Betty completed the test, Green asked several shipwives to go up and test the effect of the new shipwive's armament.
After many tests, the ship girls are generally satisfied with this new armament, except for the fact that the sleeping cabin is too hard, which makes the ship girls complain slightly, everyone seems to be unable to find fault with other aspects.
"At present, it seems that this ship's armed performance is outstanding, but I don't know what the situation is in actual combat." Betty gave a pertinent assessment.
Green is also very satisfied with the "good-looking" deep-sea ship in front of him - except for its cost.
"Squeeze the cost of it to less than 100,000 Mona coins!" Green grabbed the research director's arm and ordered.
"Oh! Lord Demon King, you are ignoring the lives of the soldiers! ”
"It's an order!" Green paused, "The equipment is also graded, the trainee ship mother uses the 100,000 level, the elite ship mother uses the million-level equipment, like this super luxury version, it is specially equipped for the ace ship mother!" ”
