Chapter Ninety-Two: The Tarzan
Liang Hong replied: "Casey's captain skill source and the mermaid clan belong to spiritual attacks, I suspect that the mermaid clan has a spiritual level of attack methods, either hypnosis, or giving people various other negative states, or more powerful can directly kill people." If Casey hadn't been determined and hated, he would have been addicted to the mermaid world and become a member of the mermaid. ”
It's not easy to handle, it's not easy to handle, this kind of mental attack is the most tricky, and I don't know how to prevent it at all. Of course, the lethal spiritual attack inferred by Liang Hong should not exist, otherwise the mermaid clan will directly release a death ripple, and all the people in a boat will die, and they will bother to sing some songs to lure the ship into hitting the reef.
And through Casey's experience, the mermaid's mental attack should still be in the hypnotic stage, at most, it can cause some abnormalities in people's spirits, as long as it is not a lethal attack, a solution can be found.
So Gangzi found Bucknar, the Emerald World is full of races, strange, and there are no races that are good at spiritual attacks, and ask Bucknar if he has encountered it, or if there is a solution.
Bucknar thought back to his hundreds of years of adventure energy, and said, "I have indeed encountered races that can be mentally attacked, and I think that mental attacks are more effective against the more intelligent races. ”
"Ahh Gangzi has always felt that he is extremely smart, isn't this a trick when he encounters a mermaid, how can my brother still swim with mermaids in the future.
"But......" Talking Peaks seems to be a common problem of all intelligent races, Bucknar continued, "but the higher the intelligence, the less effective it is when it is attacked by spirits. ”
Gangzi was confused, and he asked, "What you said is too profound, can you explain it more easily for people to understand?" ”
Bucknar also realized that what he was saying was a bit of a head-scratcher, and he explained: "Let me give you an example. The race I met with the ability to attack mentally is called the Evil Eye, and if they use a psychic attack on me, they can call me to go straight to a coma if I am defenseless and tired. If I'm unprepared but in good spirits, I can be called a momentary distraction, if I'm on guard and concentrated. His mental attack only made me feel like I heard a mosquito chirping, and I was seriously nauseated. If they attack a fish or a very simple-minded animal, they will have a high chance of failure, and if they succeed, the fish will die directly. ”
As soon as I said this, Gangzi understood, for stupid animals, the success rate of spiritual attacks is low, the effect is obvious, and the lethality is high; For intelligent animals, psychic attacks have a high success rate but a decrease in effectiveness. For humans, facing mental attacks should fall into the second category. It is easy to hit, but there is no direct damage, which also shows that the merfolk are hypnotic temptations for sailors and Casey, rather than direct mental kills or control.
In this case, the only way to conquer the mermaid is to bring a highly intelligent crew and concentrate on guarding against a sneak attack. Then Lord Ben is definitely in command, Liang Hong can see Casey's tricks at a glance, and his mind is a little less flexible than Lord Ben, so it is very suitable to be responsible for taking the helm.
The rest of the crew is all Elves and Druids, with ranged attacks, melee combat, mages, and priests, and standard dungeon farming groups. The number of sprites is limited, so you can't adjust too much. Let's drive the ship "Tarzan". It is said that after the "Tarzan" was transformed in Plymouth, as the level of the brother continued to rise, the more unpleasant it became. What has changed! It's too perfunctory. It is simply the work of a third-rate ship designer.
This is a blasphemy against the baby that Brother got on the first day of the game, it witnesses the growth of Brother from scratch, from pawn to general, from * silk to rich and handsome, and it cannot be called that the British ship designer insulted its noble status with inferior transformation techniques. Brother wants to personally transform a perfect "Taishan" to remember the watermelon skin that slipped all the way to my brother.
Liang Hong and Bucknar were asked to be in charge of the preparations for the trip to Mermaid Reef, and Gangzi began the redesign of the "Tarzan".
Master ship designer, this is now Gangzi's ship design level. During the Emerald time, Gangzi basically spent all of his four years on learning and mastering the ship design. And there is no skill book to use for a senior ship designer to upgrade to the master level. The Society of Ship Designers is also not eligible to promote senior ship designers to the master rank.
If you want to advance to the master level, you must first complete the experience bar of the senior ship designer. Looking at the success rate of the three-masted sailing ship, you can see that it is very difficult, but in the Emerald world. Gangzi has time and money, and the long bar of senior ship designer proficiency experience is just asking him to repair it.
The following is to break through oneself and build a perfect battleship that is recognized by the system to become a master, but what battleship can be more perfect than the peerless legend-class battleship "Flying Henan", so from the moment Gangzi arrived in the Pacific Ocean from the Elven Sea, Gangzi became the first player to be promoted to a master-level ship designer, and it is likely to be the only one for a long period of time.
As a master ship designer, Gangzi has no sense of slack in the transformation and design of the three-masted battleship "Taishan", the entire design drawings from the pen to the end, the flow of clouds and water in one go, this smooth feeling has never been, out of the drawings Gangzi has examined several times without any need to modify the place, it is completely a very inspired work.
"Tarzan" was sent to the shipyard along with the drawings, and it took three days to see the perfect "Tarzan". Gangzi took advantage of this time to follow Liang Hong to inspect the construction of the Apulgas Islands.
The entire Applegas archipelago has been completely controlled, and an array of artillery batteries have been erected at the entrance, and the entire enclosed archipelago is all Gangzi's territory. Now the Applegas Islands are full of shipyards and are the main producer of Gangzi ships for sale. The volcanoes all over the archipelago have been planted with firewoods by the elves, and in the spawning of the natural power of the elves, the firecracks grow very fast, and they can be supplied in large quantities, and a batch of firecrackers are being loaded into ships after processing and ready to be sent to Jimo Port, where the fourth-class battleship of the Han Dynasty ordered by Wei Yu is already under construction.
The dwarves who had been smuggled in with the "Flying Henan" also found their preferred environment, and a lava cave in the Apulgas Islands became their residence. High temperature, dry, knock down a stone is rich in iron ore, all-weather uninterrupted fire supply, and the supply of fine wine from all over the world is open. The dwarves love it to death. The whole cave resounded with the happy songs of the dwarves all the time, and a large amount of fine iron was transported out of the dwarven caves.
Iron? No, no, no...... Gangzi stopped the dwarves' iron-beating party.
He shouted to Kyle, who was erecting a blacksmith by the lava river and starting to craft weapons, "Kyle, the steel I need." It's not iron and fine iron, this low-end iron can be smelted in large quantities in my ore refining furnace at any time, and I want steel that can cast steel smoothbore guns. It's like you're building steel for a tomahawk. ”
Kyle inserted the newly revealed tomahawk blank back into the lava, picked up a flask next to him and took a sip and replied, "It's a waste to make your kind of artillery out of steel, one cannon needs enough steel for us to arm dozens of dwarven hoplites, and one of us dwarves can take out your weak defense artillery crew, I suggest you save the precious steel for the soldiers who arm you, see that the axe is not, this is what I made for your soldiers, it can be chopped and chopped." You can also throw, definitely more useful than your cylinder, we dwarves can't use steel on useless weapons, it's an insult to us dwarves. ”
Hearing Kyle's explanation, Gangzi couldn't help but grow his mouth, and sure enough, it was really scary to have no words.
Before Gangzi could explain, Bob burped and said, "I secretly opened the weapon called Cannon, clearing, charging, compacting, loading, and ignition, it was too troublesome, and the most important thing was that it was not accurate at all." I was aiming at a barren mountain, but I almost hit the spirit of the fire bamboo in the volcano next to me, which was too unreliable. I hate unreliable things. Gangzi, you have been fighting with this kind of weapon, it's really too backward, but you have us dwarves, we dwarves are all masters of weapon making, your army will be equipped with the best steel weapons, and all those who use the inferior weapons here will be defeated by you, don't thank us, your wine is the best reward for us. ”
Gangzi was despised and had some impulses to kowtow to these uncles. These dwarves spend their day eating, drinking, striking iron, and sleeping, and usually do not even go out of the cave. Expecting to explain to them the power and correct use of artillery with their mouths is expected to be repeatedly despised by them.
Thereupon. Gangzi didn't talk nonsense with the dwarves, and directly sent Lasf to take the druids to throw the drunk dwarves one by one onto a three-masted battleship and go to sea.
Gangzi asked someone to use the sea water to wake up Kyle and pull him over, pointed at a target ship 1ooo meters away, and said to him, "If you are on that ship now, and I give you 1oo heavy dwarves, how are you going to attack me?" ”
Kyle touched the sharp feet on his beard and told his head to show the side of the ship, and after seeing the target ship in the distance, he said to Gangzi: "Of course it is to drive over, 1oo heavy dwarves can quickly occupy this battleship, although it is very large and has many sailors, but your human protection is too thin, even with the help of the elves, it is not the opponent of our dwarven heavy warriors." ”
"Really?" After listening to Kyle's boasting, Gangzi smiled and said, "Now you can take a good look at what kind of fate these 1oo dwarves will become if you have become worthless artillery." ”
"Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The naval guns, which had already been prepared, fired a salvo at the same time at the moment of Gangzi's order.
The fixed target of 1ooo meters is not too difficult for the gunners carefully selected by Gangzi, although the first round was missed, they quickly found their hand in the second round of salvo, and then the shells hit more and more accurately, after seven rounds of guns, the target ship was obviously dumped, and after ten rounds of guns, the target ship sank completely in the sea.
Kyle's mouth grew bigger and bigger as he watched the guns fire from the side of the ship, and after losing all of them from the first round: "This, this, so powerful!" ”
Gangzi stopped his chest, increased his height advantage over the dwarf by a few millimeters, and looked down in a serious tone: "Now that 1oo heavily armored dwarf is wearing heavy armor, and no one can save him after falling into the sea, now do you know why my sailor doesn't wear armor on the ship?" Any idea why I want to cast a cannon? Do you know why I'm calling you steelmaking? ”
Kyle still didn't take his eyes off the wreck, he nodded mechanically, "You'll get the steel you need, but we need you to provide the fine iron to have the steel." ”
Knowing that the dwarves have opened their minds and have the supply of steel, Gangzi is very satisfied: "As long as you can produce steel, you can ask Liang Hong directly for what you need." ”
"We need a few artillery pieces and supplies for research."
"Yes, but you'll need to study it at the test site I've opened. The heat in your cave is called a gunpowder explosion. ”
"I'll listen to you."
……
After negotiating with the dwarves, Gangzi finally had a supply of steel, and the Black Sail Cannon Factory could produce steel smoothbore guns. This is an unimaginable increase in firepower for Gangzi's fleet.
Three days passed quickly, and the new "Tarzan" drove out of the shipyard.
Liang Hong's specialty is degree. This is also what Gangzi is good at in ship design. Gangzi's understanding of the wave resistance of the hull is undoubtedly manifested in the transformation of the "Taishan"; The mast has been re-arranged, the mast that was too high in the past will be due to the force arm in the windy situation will be serious downward pressure on the bow, increase the pressure of the ship, not only will not be called the degree of improvement but may lead to the hull damage, Gangzi shortened the mast to increase the transverse area, in order to be able to widen the sail surface between the not affected, Gangzi stretched the hull of the "Taishan" to increase the spacing between the sails.
After the core renovation design was completed, Gangzi now made the space of the "Taishan" a lot more spacious due to the increase in the hull. So he added another deck between the ship's tower and the stern building, so that the "Tarzan" did not have a protruding superstructure, and the top became flat, only protruding from the bridge, so that the captain could see the surrounding situation and facilitate command.
So the new "Taishan" completed the transformation and entered the sea survey, the original transformation has not changed much, but the low and fat main mast makes the hull more stable. Especially the three-layer artillery deck is called Liang Hong's love, although his specialty is degree, but which warship captain will be idle to have too many guns?
7o naval guns are the firepower that the "Taishan" now has, including 6o side guns, 4 naval guns and 6 stern guns, and all indicators have reached the standard of a third-class warship. This battleship is absolutely unique in the Caribbean.
Gangzi is also very satisfied with his work, this perfect design that is inspired, and now if he is asked to modify a three-masted battleship. It was decided that there would not be such a powerful indicator as "Tarzan".
The battleship is ready, and the personnel are in place. Because the opponent merfolk have a special attack method this time, it will be troublesome if there are too many people. Gangzi did not plan to bring too many warships, and the "Taishan" was enough to deal with all unexpected events. The 100 elven crew was led by Bucknar and Christol, the five elven magicians were led by Elizabeth, the fifty druids were all on board under the leadership of Rasf, and Gangzi ordered 2oo Black Sail pirate sailors to fill the gaps in each position.
So the "Tarzan", which was fully armed and concentrated all the elites that Gangzi had, drove out of the Applegas Islands and headed for the Caribbean Sea under the guidance of Casey.
The Caribbean Sea is a pirate's paradise, bridging the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with dozens of countries and tens of thousands of islands. and incalculable wealth, but there is not a single maritime power here. No navy can wipe out the pirates here, but there are some powerful pirate groups that can compete with the navy. Merchant ships are looted every day, and even coastal cities are not safe, and a city ruled by pirates is not uncommon.
Piloted by Captain Liang Hong, the "Taishan" soon entered the Caribbean Sea, and the pirate flag for hunting was raised, and a skull with a blood-red rose was the standard for the "Kraken Pirate Regiment".
The "Kraken Pirate Regiment" has a great reputation in the Caribbean, with a large number of three-masted warships and brigs, and its strength has surpassed the navies of some small countries, especially the dhow warships they have are very fast, and no ship can escape their pursuit, and even the flying clippers that the people of the United States are proud of have been repeatedly robbed in their hands.
This time, the "Kraken Pirate Regiment" actually drove a third-class warship, which really shocked the native buns in the Caribbean Sea, looking at the dense gun doors on the hull of the "Taishan", so that all the ships that met the "Taishan" consciously got out of the way, and then watched its huge back disappear into the sea.
"Where did Kraken Walker get such a giant battleship? Who can be her opponent in the Caribbean in the future? ”
"This is a third-class warship that many countries don't have, and none of the countries around the Caribbean Sea with such a warship are her opponents, this year the Kraken Walker has risen very fast, she must have the support of a certain big country, otherwise she would not have so many advanced warships, it can be guessed that the purpose of the country behind her is the Caribbean, and it seems that the free Caribbean is estimated to have a big storm."
Gangzi, of course, did not know what kind of impact the appearance of the new "Tarzan" in the Caribbean would have brought here, and he was enjoying Casey's attentive service in his cabin.
"My lord, do you want to drink a glass of red wine, red wine can best bring out the aroma of the veal steak." Casey looked at Gangzi with a glass of red wine and a glass of red wine, and her chest was on the edge of the dining table.
"Oops! You see my left hand fork and right hand knife, what should I do if I can't hold a wine glass? Gangzi smiled lustfully.
"Where...... I'll feed you. (To be continued).
