After I got into the water, I realized how stupid this decision was, the canal is no better than the sea, and so many warships are moving here and turning the mud and sand under the water, and you can't see anything at all! There was no way to climb back to shore, and under the surprised gaze of the local players around me, I opened the door to the space that led to the Mother Earth Goddess's premises. "Ayana, follow me into the water! Insult! Keep an eye on the gates, and don't let people in! "I don't want anyone to get into the Mother Earth Temple out of curiosity!

After taking Ajuna into the water again, I asked Ayana to use the sonar to navigate, and directly let her present the sonar image in my brain, so that I could also know the situation around me! The mud and sand also interfered with the sonar, but the distance was so close, and the accuracy of the biological sonar was so high, I could barely see the 3D scan of the bottom of the water!

The wreck was not far in front of us, and it didn't look small, about half the length of the Biling. We fumbled our way to the wreckage, and Ayana touched the hull with her hand and knocked on it. "Master, this is a metal ship!"

I touched it too. "Yes, indeed, and it's a solid steel plate!" This is a real ironclad ship, different from a battleship like the Biling, which is covered with wood inside and metal outside!

The mud and sand were quickly washed away after the Biling was towed away, and this was the passage connecting the two seas, and the current was very fast, and without the mixing of the warships, the water would immediately become clear! I finally saw the whole picture, it is indeed an ironclad ship, and the shape is quite modern, it is simply an advanced modern warship! It seems that this is not a local ship, thinking that I saw the branded flag on the hull! It's a French ship!

"Shall we go in and have a look?" Ayanati yì.

"Okay!"

Alena hugged me behind my back and swam me into the boat through the big hole in the boat, and as a mermaid, Alena was much faster underwater than me! The ship only sank last night, there was no water grass or anything like that, and the cabin was fairly clean. After going around a few cabins, we finally reached the bottom of the ship, and to our surprise, the ship used thrusters! No wonder the shape of the hull is similar to that of a modern warship, just now I wondered why I didn't see the sails, but now I understand!

In terms of underwater thrusters, Ayana is an expert, and she understands it at a glance. After a brief inspection, he said to me: "Quite a low-level thruster, the power is not high, and the speed should not be fast!" Also, it doesn't seem to be waterproof, and if the cabin gets flooded, it will stop functioning! ”

"It's okay, it's just garbage!" I don't want anyone else to have a thruster of the same level as us! "Let's take a look somewhere else!"

After inspecting all the accessible cabins, we found an ammunition depot with a lot of shells, but they were all backward! Found a battery on the deck, picked a relatively complete cannon and checked it, the artillery seemed to be more advanced than ours!

After studying the whole ship, it was concluded that the European warships were ahead of Asia in terms of structure and material technology, and they could build all-metal warships that we could not build. The Europeans also had an advantage in the manufacture of cannons, and the guns on this ship were more advanced than mine. However, Europeans are not advanced in everything. The gunpowder in Europe is not powerful enough, but the artillery is very advanced, and the artillery technology in Asia is backward, but the shells are powerful! Two aspects: one balances, in terms of the estimated power of artillery, we and the Europeans should be about the same! In terms of thruster technology, we should be the best so far! If the thrusters in this wreck represent the level of European thrusters, then I don't think the speed of European warships should be much faster! With the above conclusions, I can understand why Ashford asked me to buy gunpowder technology, it turns out that the problem is here!

After researching, I began to think about how to clear the obstacles, this ship is very large, and it has a metal hull, although the hull is not as thick as the shell of the Biling, but it is possible that the sturdiness is more than that of the Biling! It is unrealistic for such a ship to want to blow up, the only way is to tow it away! Fortunately, there is buoyancy in the water, and as long as you don't leave the water, the surface battleship is not very heavy. He called down the three-headed dragon and the little dragon girl, and it didn't take much effort to lift the wreckage. Move the battleship into the Red Sea, find a deep water area and put it down, and it's easy to get it!

The repair of the Biling is just a simple treatment, as long as it does not affect the navigation, anyway, the entrance of the cave is underwater, it does not affect the battle, just bask in the moon tonight!

The fleet finally cleared the Suez Canal, and once I entered the Mediterranean, I dispersed the pirate fleet. This is the birthplace of my pirate brothers, they all have a lot of old troops here, let them disperse to find the old department, these pirates can greatly increase the strength of naval warfare!

I didn't have much to do during the day today, so I had to go offline to the base to continue to familiarize myself with the B13 features. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, calculate the time and the fleet should be almost in Gibraltar, hurry up and go online! I appeared in the cabin and casually glanced out of the porthole, only to be startled by the situation outside, and there were so many more ships around the Biling.

"You're here!" Somi suddenly ran in.

"How is this going on?" I pointed to the mess of boats outside. There are all kinds of boats around us, and there are even quite a few fishing boats among them!

"It was your pirate boys who brought it back!"

"Boss!" As he spoke, Rhona walked in.

"You brought this back?"

"Not exactly! Some were brought back by polar bears! (Polar Bear is the new leader of the Russian pirates)

"What are these things?"

"Last time we went to Asia to negotiate, we brought all the elites out, and the rest are old women and children, it's good to find these ships!"

That's what Lorna said! The last time they came out, they took all the elites away, and then they stayed in Asia to play tricks with the Japanese, and now they will certainly not find any good fleets when they come back!

"But!" Lorna suddenly continued, "We've brought back something you like!" ”

"What?"

Rhona led me out of the cabin to the cabin on the side of the ship opposite, and pointed out, "That! ”

I followed her finger and saw a wall! Outside the porthole of the Biling was a silver-white wall! I couldn't see clearly through the small porthole, so I hurried up to the deck. Now you can see it clearly! Next to us is a giant floater, which is said to be a floater mainly because this thing doesn't seem to have power. In front of this silvery-white thing is all our modified battleships tugging it forward! 500 warships towing one thing, you can imagine how huge it is! From my point of view, this thing looks like an island floating on the sea!

"This ...... This...... This......! "I'm a little stammered with excitement!" What the hell is this? ”

"Our loot!" Lorna said proudly, "This morning we ran into our sworn enemies again, the Tempest Pirates!" I've joined forces with the polar bears to wipe out this group once and for all! It's really fun to say, we have always been mortal enemies with the Tempest Pirates in the past, but the strength of the two sides is equal, and there has always been no way to take advantage of anything, but we have lost a lot of manpower in vain! This time, we just joined forces with the polar bear, and you helped us change the new cannon and thrusters, and easily put down the scum of Tempest! ”

"And how did this thing come about?"

"This is what we found at the Tempest Pirate base. I heard from the captives that the kingdom on the shore had often sent troops to clear the pirate garrisons recently, and they had no peace. It just so happened that we were in Asia, and the Tempest Pirates dominated the Mediterranean and reaped a lot of benefits. For the long term, they decided to build a city on the water to bring all their families to the sea. So they spent all their savings to make this thing! ”

"A city on the sea?" I looked at this thing again! "It lives up to its name!" With a total length of nearly three hundred and forty meters, the Biling is already a giant among battleships, although it is not as big as an aircraft carrier, but as a battleship, it is already quite large! But next to this giant floating depositor, it was like an aircraft carrier, and a torpedo boat was parked! "How big is this?"

"I don't know exactly how long it is, I'm going to arrest the captured designer and ask!"

"Okay, hurry up!"

Soon the designer was caught, it was an NPC, and it was European. "You're the designer of this thing?"

"Yes!" Although this man looked very sven, he was very brave, and actually broke away from the sailor behind him and stood up. "Also, don't call my baby 'this thing'! You can call her Noah! ”

I'm dizzy! The legendary Noah's Ark doesn't refer to this one, does it? "This ...... How long is Noah? ”

"You mean the number of structures?"

"Yes!"

"The total length is 23,108.6 meters, the width is 2,607.9 meters, the draft is 297.7 meters when fully loaded, the side of the ship is 207.1 meters out of the water, the height of the main command tower is 208 meters, and the mast height is 278 meters!"

Oh, my God! Is this a ship? It feels like an island! No wonder it's called a sea city, it's really not ordinarily big!

It took me a while to recover from my excitement. "What kind of power does this thing use? Is it sail or pulp? Or do you have thrusters? ”

"The design is propelled using a combination of three powers, but nothing is installed yet! It's just an empty shell! ”

"Empty shells?"

"The interior compartments, thrusters, pulp, sails, weapons, and living quarters that were supposed to be installed are all gone! This thing only has the support frame inside made except for the shell, and nothing else! ”

I was a little angry that there was nothing in such a good thing, and the tone of my voice was inevitably a little rushed: "Why don't you pretend?" ”

As a result, the designer yelled back in a louder voice than me: "It's not all because of you!" If it weren't for the sudden attack of your fleet, we would still be building! His voice softened suddenly. May I ask you how you plan to place Noah? ”

"Of course I wish it could be done! But......! ”

"That's good!" The designer suddenly intended my words. "As long as you are willing to pay, I am willing to continue to serve you and finish her!"

"What?" The designer's response was beyond my expectations. "I attacked you, and instead of hating me, you want to help me build a ship?"

"Please figure out one thing! I'm not a pirate! I'm Luzo, the first ship designer in Teuton! I helped the pirates design the ship because my design was not accepted by the state, and during one of the voyages the pirates attacked the ship I was on, and they saw my design and wanted to build Noah. I had a way to fulfill my dream, and of course I wouldn't give up, so I helped design and build Noah. As long as you're willing to pay me to finish my work, I don't care who you are! ”

It turned out that this designer was German! No wonder you're so fanatical about technology! Real scientists are like that, they only care about the perfection of their work, and it is not for them to think about what others do with it, otherwise the atomic bomb would not have come out!

"How much does it cost to finish this?"

"I don't know, and the pirates didn't ask! I can only list the materials needed, the price and labor cost you calculate! ”

"Okay!" I shook hands with him, and then said to the first mate in the back: "Take Designer Luzo to the VIP room to rest!" ”

After Luzzo left, Rhona and I went to Noah, and when we got up, we found that the shape of this steel monster was designed according to a battleship! In the middle of the entire hull is the superstructure of the ship, which is basically the base of the weapon platform, and it seems that the degree of completion is quite high, as long as the cannon is loaded, it can be completed! I don't know how many guns are loaded on such a large ship! It is estimated that if it is all full, he can pick a fleet of ships at a time!

Standing on the deck, it dawned on me that maybe Noah could be more than just a super turret! Although the hull was designed in the style of battleship architecture, Noah was so huge that the central superstructure area had straight decks four hundred meters wide on each side! What can the horizontal deck of 400 meters wide and tens of thousands of meters long be used for, I don't need to explain, right?

Although I was very satisfied with the superstructure, I was completely hopeless when I entered the cabin! Inside the conning tower are several beams, from which you can see from above. The inside of the hull is completely empty, as Luzo said! There are some support structures in the huge hull, but the partitions between the compartments are not installed, and the stern can be seen from the bow, and the whole thing is empty!

"Boss! You're up too? The big pot of rice jumped from the side. It's been a long time, and everyone is there!

Rose came over and said, "What are you going to do with this thing?" ”

"Get it done!"

"I'll tell you beforehand, this thing won't be cheaper to build than Isinger!"

"I know! But considering its combat effectiveness in the future, I decided to finish it anyway! ”

"Actually, it doesn't cost too much money to build!" Somi suddenly walked in from behind. "It's true that you built the Biling at the beginning, and that's because you spent a lot of money because you relied entirely on buying, but now it's different! Luzo is free labor, and the materials can be produced by Issinger, anyway, it is his own, as long as the cost is calculated! Besides, the shell part of this thing's most wasteful material has been completed, and the rest of the project won't require too many things! As for artificial! Do you have enough skeletons for the Misty Legion? ”

"In this way, what I have to use is the cost of materials!"

"Of course, it's not just the cost of materials!" Su Mei continued: "The most expensive thing is probably the cannon! It's a bit of a waste for such a large battleship to be fully loaded with artillery, and the magic crystal cannon is too expensive, do you calculate how many cannons this ship can be loaded with? ”

Oh, my God! At the beginning, it was already sky-high to install cannons on the Biling, but this time not only are there more of them, but they are all magic crystal cannons, what should I do!

"In fact, there are ways to save money!" Rose is worthy of studying economics, and she is the best at doing business. "We can buy technology directly! Let's not let the Dark Temple know that we need a lot of cannons for this big ship, so that we can buy the blueprints of the Crystal Cannon at a relatively cheap price, and then we can build our own. I think the magic crystal cannon is similar to the electronic products sold outside now, the material cost is very low, but the technology is expensive! ”

"Let's put it that first! The rest will be talked about later! ”

"Purple Sun! Come out, we're in Gibraltar! King Chuang suddenly shouted outside.

We quickly ran out, and when we got back to the Biling, I took the binoculars from the first mate's hand and looked at the sea ahead. I could clearly see a large area of glittering warships appear in the strait ahead, it seems that this is the Imperial fleet! "First mate! Let the fleet stop and stand by, and the Biling will go alone! ”

The fleet soon stopped, and our Biling sailed alone. The Imperial fleet in front of it was docked on the shore in two long snake formations neatly, stretching for dozens of kilometers! As I got closer, I could already see Gibraltar in its entirety. According to the sea charts, it is called Gibraltar in the game, and the name has not been changed, but the terrain seems to have changed. The coasts on both sides of the Mediterranean gradually converge here, and finally a strait is formed at the mouth of the sea, which is only four or five kilometers wide. The shores on both sides of the strait are not sandy beaches but vertical cliffs, which rise twenty or thirty meters high and are completely flat at the top. This terrain is simply the best terrain for setting up the battery, the vertical cliff can protect the battery from the invasion of personnel, and the height of more than 20 meters creates a drop for the Qishang battery, thus increasing the firing range.

Now at this distance, I can see the silver-glowing cannons on the cliffs on both sides without the help of anything, and many of them seem to be magic crystal cannons! With such a terrifying terrain and the thought battery, not to mention our ships, even if they are doubled, they will definitely not be able to rush through!

But the reason why I dare to go this way is to bet on how much the British think of us! Based on the news of the attack on Indonesia that I released in advance, the British should know our combat effectiveness. For more than a day, they knew the whole thing pretty well. They should know that if they attack us, we will definitely lose, but the Imperial fleet will also be transformed from the world's first fleet into a small fleet that can be bullied by most fleets at will! If we can't win with firepower, it's still not a problem to pull some cushions!

In the fleet ahead, a battleship not much smaller than the Biling also drove out, and the flag bearer wrote that the other party was an envoy ship! The advanced battleship slowly approached, and an authentic English knight appeared in the bow. When the two boats were close together, he stood on the side of the boat and held out his hand to me!

The two battleships were about the same height, and now they were close together, and the two of us could shake hands across the side of the ship while standing on our respective ships.

"Hello, I'm Ziri from China! This is my fleet! ”

"Hello, I'm Baja, Englishman. This is my Imperial fleet, and the guild to which it belongs is the Imperial Alliance! ”

"Hello! Hello! ”

The two of us started to be polite bored, and then Baha said let's get through guò and check out his fleet by the way! I was a little worried, but I ordered the fleet to move forward. Anyway, you always have to get through guò, and I can't help it if it's a trap! But I believe that the British should not want to fight with me, even if they beat us, they will not be able to get benefits! And we are now more certain than we were at the beginning, that is, the British did not know that Noah was empty. Just now, when Baha and I were polite, he tried to talk to me many times, and he was very careful with this big guy he had never seen before! I was playing Tai Chi with him anyway, but I didn't tell him what Noah was, I just kept hinting to him that this was our secret weapon! I believe that the British will not dare to open fire indiscriminately if they can't figure out the situation!

As soon as my fleet began to move forward, Baha's warships left the Belling to serve as a guide ship in front of us, and I hurried to make a small move! The first is to let Ayana go into the water to see if Gibraltar's estuary is deep enough! The Biling is nothing, but Noah's draft is almost 300 meters, so he can't do it if he's not careful! In addition, hurry up and inform the back that a qiē will be carried out as originally planned!
