β3οΌ It's 3! The gold coin was the first to cry.
"That's the dragon statue!" I nodded in confirmation.
"Yes! The dragon statue is not bad either! Eagle nodded.
Purple Moon was happiest because she had been one of the dragon figurans since the beginning. "Look! Heaven still helps me! I'll just say use a dragon statue! Are we going to fight the Japanese, and hanging a Chinese dragon on the bow of the ship can set off the fierce battle between our descendants of Yan and Huang and Little Japan! β
In order to decide which bow image to use, we specially pinched this regular tetrahedron (not a cube, the regular tetrahedron only has four sides, don't ask me at the end what if it is six) and then engrave the number as a dice image, as long as which side is down, use the corresponding bow image. My throw result is 3, and it should be a dragon statue as agreed!
"Then put on a dragon statue!" I went directly to the Taoist Association (a bit awkward, but the mage has an association that can't help but prepare one for the Taoist priest) to negotiate the price. The old Taoist priest in charge of the sales of the dragon statue was very happy, and when he heard that we were going to fight against foreign enemies, this old guy actually gave a 20% discount! The 500,000 dragon statue was finally completed with 400,000 crystal coins. The remaining 100,000 were just enough to go to the market to buy supplies and fresh water.
It's too late today, and everyone has made an appointment to meet the next morning. Tomorrow is Saturday, and this is the day when Little Japan is at its most active. Tomorrow when we get in the water, we'll use them as our first course!
We rested for the night and came up early the next morning. When I went in, everyone else had arrived, and it looked like my boat was about to be launched, and everyone was very excited!
The first thing was to go to the Sailors' Association to accept the sailors, and when we got to the Sailors' Association, we were really shocked. The small square in front of 8,000 NPC sailors is nothing short of spectacular! King Chuang also happened to come to receive the sailors who lost yesterday. Seeing the spectacular sight on our side, he hurriedly ran over.
"Oh my God! Ziri, what are you doing here? That's almost 8,000 people, right? β
"Just 8000! It's all my sailors! I didn't expect 8,000 people to be so spectacular! "I was shocked to see so many people down there.
"Your ship is too big, isn't it? 8,000 people can arm a fleet! My Highway has just over 1,300 sailors! β
"What can I do, I can't just leave the cabin empty and let a few of us sail out to sea!"
"I won't talk to you anymore, we still have a lot of things to do!" Bidding farewell to King Chuang, we rushed directly to the siege equipment shop with 8,000 sailors, and the 600 fortress guns are still here!
Everyone summoned their magic pets to help transport them, and the NPC sailors were also carried by a group of people with one cannon. Although there were only 600 guns, and we had 8,000 sailors, the fortress guns were so large that 20 sailors could barely move a cannon. The strongest convoy was my luck and Purple Moon's Heavenly Fire.
Luckily, one of the four claws grabbed one door, and another door was held in the mouth, and five doors were transported away at a time. Purple Moon's Heavenly Fire is similar, but her two Titan Giants are fiercer. Those two guys can pick up eight cannons and run to the beach at once.
It was busy from eight o'clock in the morning to almost eleven o'clock, and we barely transported all the cannons to the dock, and the old man was also strange, he actually blocked us out and didn't let us in to see what the ship was built to see what the ship was like, and only NPC sailors were allowed to enter the dock! There was no way, so we had to leave 7,000 sailors to let Eagle them command the people who helped the dockyard to load the cannons on the ship, Rose and I took 1,000 sailors straight to the vegetable market, we used 100,000 crystal coins to buy the food of the entire market and then let the 1,000 sailors start to transport it back to the dock, and then we used the last 5,000 crystal coins to buy 10,000 barrels of fresh water, looking at the piles of barrels like a hill, we didn't know what to do!
Leaving Rose to look at the buckets and direct the sailors to and fro, I myself ran back to the port to see if our battleship was finished. Before they arrived at the port, they saw Feng Yin Miao and Red Moon standing on the dock surrounded by a large group of people, and then I remembered that Feng Yin Miao seemed to have said that their guild also had its own boat launched today.

"Ethereal!" I walked over and shouted out to the wind and Yin Miao. "Where's your ship?"
"It should be coming out soon!" Feng Yin looked at the huge fully enclosed dock at the back of the dock. "This old man is really strange, no one is allowed to see us when he is building a ship, and even the roof is sealed if he drives us out!"
"Isn't that better!"
"What for?"
"I can surprise you!"
"It's a pity I can't wait!" Feng Yin sighed.
I looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"The fleet of the Goddess League was ambushed by the Japanese this morning! My fleet has gone to the rescue, and I'm waiting for this ship to help! β
"Ambushed?" I didn't expect this to happen! "How's it going?"
"I don't know!"
"Huh?" I looked at him and didn't know what he meant.
He looked at me too. "I'm not suing you, I really don't know! The private chat system has a range limit at sea, and the maximum distance cannot exceed 8 km! I can now say that I have no connection with my own fleet at all! β
"Then how do you know that the fleet of the Goddess Alliance has been ambushed?"
"There's this thing!" Feng Yin Miao took out a cute white carrier pigeon. "This is a carrier pigeon for navigation, and it can be used to communicate within 500 kilometers, but this thing has a time delay, and the carrier pigeon I sent last time has not yet returned!"
As he was talking, a white carrier pigeon in the sky flapped its wings and fell, Feng Yin Miao stretched out a hand, and the carrier pigeon immediately landed on his hand. I watched as he took a bamboo bucket from the carrier pigeon and took out a piece of paper from the bamboo bucket.
"How's it going?" Hongyue, who was originally squatting on the side, immediately ran over when she saw the carrier pigeon coming back, it seems that she is really anxious today, and she is not interested in making trouble with me!
"Of the 17 warships in the fleet of the Goddess Alliance, 13 have been sunk and 4 have been seriously injured! The 21 warships of the Bloody Alliance Rescue Fleet are fighting with the enemy! β
After hearing this, Hongyue took a few steps back, and finally fell into the sea all at once. A few girls next to her hurriedly went down and fished her up, comforting her.
I looked at Feng Yin and whispered, "Does she care about that fleet very much?" β
"That's her lifeline!"
"Huh?" I didn't understand what he meant.
Feng Yin Miao looked at my stunned appearance and explained: "Hongyue has a contract with our father, she has to rely on her own ability to organize a fleet to Japan to occupy a coastal city for at least one day before the national war!" β
"What is the promise of the covenant?"
If successful, Red Moon can take over 50% of the family business and decide her own future. If she fails, she will marry the future heir of another business according to her father's wishes, and she can only get the family's money and not any company equity! Isn't it a clichΓ© plot? β
"Sort of! But this is common sense, for hundreds of years, this plot has never stopped! β
"Sounds like you're from a big family, huh?"
I admire Feng Yin more and more now, he always seems to be able to judge a lot of things from a little clue! "A ship has come out! I don't know if it's yours or mine! "I digressed.
"Mine for sure!"
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"How can you be so sure? I'm predetermined! Press first-come, first-served, it should be my first to come out! β
"Your people are still moving things over there!" He gestured to the sailors who were coming in and out of the dockyard. "How could your ship leave the sailors if it left the harbor?"
Sure enough, a very beautiful battleship appeared in front of us, with a high mast, a curvaceous side, and a golden bow statue, what a work of art! I suddenly noticed that the bow statue was familiar, it was the virgin statue that we had eliminated! It is very in line with Feng Yin's ethereal style - image engineering!
The battleship with a total length of about 100 meters slowly leaned on the pier in front of us, and as soon as the rope ladder was lowered, the red moon rushed up angrily, and Feng Yin said goodbye to me: "I'm sorry, we're leaving, the red moon may not be in a hurry!" I'll have to wait until next time to see your battleship! β
I grabbed him and said, "Tell me where to fight, and I'll help you when my ship comes out!" β
After a little thought for two seconds, he pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me. I took it and saw that it was a simple chart. "Give your second mate on the ship, and he'll know how to get there!"
"Good! I'll do my best! β
Watching the ethereal battleship quickly leave the port and disappear into the distance, I was suddenly a little inexplicably moved, Hongyue may be a very annoying woman, but in some respects I have to admit that she is a good person! At least she's strong, and she's even better than a woman who only wants men to protect her!
"I'm tired!" Rose appeared behind me, and there was a large wooden barrel in front of her, which looked like the one we bought for fresh water. Looking at the sweaty appearance of Rose, you know that she is pushing the bucket all the way over! "I'm so tired, you're actually here alone enjoying the sea view?" Rose grumbled.
"Why did you get here? What about over there? β
"Bingbing is here! Everyone is gone, so I'm back! β
"How did you do it yourself? Wouldn't it be enough to let those sailors do it? β
"Didn't I want to hurry!"
"I'll help you!" Together with Rose, I pushed the barrel in front of me to the outside of the dockyard and waited for the NPCs inside to come out and transport the barrel inside. When I got to the dockyard door, I saw the old man there, and I stopped him. "Is our ship ready?"
"It's made, but you have too many cannons, and you're loading them on the ship!"
"Then you can do your best! By the way, I see people using carrier pigeons, do you know where they are sold? β
"Pigeon? I've got that stuff, do you want it? "The old man actually said that he had carrier pigeons, so I didn't have to look around!
"Yes! Absolutely! "I quickly agreed to come out." How much does it cost? β
"Whether this thing is only one, it is a pair at a time. And there are different levels of carrier pigeons, and the price is also different. But for the sake of me that you have made such a masterpiece that satisfies me so much, I will give you the best pair. Wait! So saying, the old man went into the dock, and in a moment he came out again, with a cage in his hand, and in it were two snow-white carrier pigeons. The old man ran up to me and lit up the carrier pigeon. "This is my best pigeon, the maximum communication distance is 600 kilometers, that is, the maximum distance is only 3 hours back and forth, how about it, very good!"
Actually, I still think it's slow, but it's hard to refute the old man's face and quickly take it. "Not bad, not bad! Thank you! β
"Wow! What a cute pigeon! Bingbing ran back at some point, and when he saw me carrying two snow-white pigeons, he ran over.
"Why are you back?" As soon as I looked up, I saw a mountain of goods next to me, and the eagles were already there wiping their sweat and panting. "You're moving so soon?"
"I'm tired!" Ziyue lay on a large wooden barrel regardless of her image. "You're going to be lazy and we're going to be tired! My hands are numb when I move things! β
"That's right! You captain is so lazy that you leave us fools to sell coolies and run around playing with pigeons! The gold coin also complained.
"I'm not lazy, this is a carrier pigeon, I just found out that there is a distance limit for the private chat system at sea, so I bought this thing!"
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, let's move things in!" The Eagle helped me out of the siege and commanded the hordes of NPCs to start hauling things to the dock.
I took the opportunity to ask the old man how to use the carrier pigeon, and it turned out that this thing was very simple. Each carrier pigeon is tied to a bamboo bucket at its feet, and the paper in the bamboo bucket will be automatically refreshed. When you want to send information, you can write words on it by taking out your finger and using your fingers, but you can record up to 1,000 words on a piece of paper, which means that you can only transmit 1,000 words at a time. After writing, put your finger in a bamboo bucket and hang it back on the pigeon's feet, and then say the name of the person you want to receive the letter to the pigeon, and then release the pigeon. After receiving it, the other party can write a reply on the back of the paper, and then the carrier pigeon will fly back on its own. It's really convenient.
After learning it, I wrote a paragraph to Feng Yin Miao. "My ship is almost ready, how are you doing? I'll do my best to get there! Purple sun. β
After releasing the carrier pigeons, I began to help direct the NPCs to transport the goods. Although we bought a lot of things, unlike cannons, these things were easier to carry, and basically two sailors could carry a barrel.
When the luck was up, the old man ran over. "Hey, where's your bow statue?"
"Ship's bow? In my place! "I asked Xiaofeng to put down the bow statue, and the old man immediately found eight sailors to resist the bow statue, but the old man still looked at me.
"What are you doing?"
"What about the other two?"
"What, and two?"
"Where is the emblem, I ask you?"
"What kind of ship emblem?"
"Don't you know?"
"Should I know?"
The old man looked at me as if he really didn't know, and explained it to me. "The bow of a ship is like the soul of a ship, but a ship should generally have two symmetrical emblems in a conspicuous position on the side of the ship, and they can also bring a certain amount of power to the ship, but it is not as effective as the bow image! You wouldn't have bought it, would you? β
"I don't even know how to buy it? Tell me if I can sell it, I'll see if I can buy it! β
"Forget it!" The old man interrupted me with a shake of his head. "I still have the Badge of the Lunar Moon, so I'll give it to you! What a hassle! β
Watching the old man run away, I really took a long breath, I should have asked Feng Yin Miao for more funds, otherwise it would not be enough to spend any more!
It was only at one o'clock in the afternoon that the goods were loaded onto the ship, and at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon, King Chuang's ship also sailed out, and I heard that this time it seemed that some kind of Japanese bullshit combined fleet sailed over, and more than 200 warships, warships in the vicinity of China, all passed. King Chuang, they received an urgent call for help from the friendly guild, so they ran out to put out the fire in a hurry!
The whole port did not stop at noon, and countless warships sailed out of the port in batches and stages, and even some small fishing boats ran away, I really don't know what they ran to do! You don't want to use a harpoon to fight a little Japanese, do you? I doubt that those little sampans will be able to withstand a shelling!
Finally, at 1:20 p.m., the dockyard doors opened. Almost all the people who were still on the dock stopped and watched the giant beast in front of them slowly sail out of the dock. When I first saw the 78-meter-long Haiwei of Chuang Wang, I just thought she was very big, and when I saw the 130-meter-long battleship of Feng Yin Miao in the morning, I had a spectacular feeling, but now, when we watched the huge battleship like an iceberg slowly approaching the pier, what we felt was - shock!
The overwhelming sense of oppression shocked us beyond words. Huge! She's just huge! Although I don't know the specific number, I can still intuitively appreciate her huge by feeling it!
The five-clawed golden dragon at the bow of the ship with teeth and claws standing on the bow with a majestic momentum, making this giant beast even more amazingly intimidating! The shining colors of the outer deck with magic silver make people feel that she is so majestic and imposing!
I was so surprised that I didn't even notice the old man walking up behind me with a smile on his face. "This is your Biling. The total length is 378.34 meters, the width is 59.79 meters, the draft is 13.65 meters, the ship's side is 9 meters 2, the diameter of the main mast is 2.1 meters, the height is 61.9 meters, and the auxiliary mast is 1.6 meters in diameter and 57.39 meters high. A total of 750 long pulps and 600 artillery pieces on the left and right. What do you think? Stylish, right? "The old man was talking to himself, but I didn't hear anything, because my head was still stuck there and I didn't wake up!
"Hello? Are you listening to me? "The old man finally noticed that I was still in a trance.
I hurried back to my senses. "In! At! I said as I wiped my saliva.
The old man didn't mind, and pulled me directly to look at the side of the ship. I saw that there was a protruding font engraved on it. The biggest ones are: "Battleship Biling!" There is a row of small words below: "Produced by Torrent City Shipyard!" "Dizzy, it seems that this is the so-called advertisement! Although those words are much smaller than the name of the ship, on this huge battleship, those relatively small words are nearly a meter high! You can't pay attention to such a big word!
The old man seemed to be very satisfied with his arrangement, and nodded incessantly at those words. After a minute, he suddenly remembered something, pulled me and pointed to the crescent-shaped badge on the side of the bridge tower in the middle of the ship and said, "That's the luna badge I gave you, I haven't sold it for a long time, and today it's cheaper for you!" It's a magical badge that creates fog, especially at night, and can improve all the stats of the entire ship. β
"Okay! Thank you! "I quickly slapped the sycophants, and the old man kept giggling there. I took the time to wake up Purple Moon. "Don't be in a daze, you take Tianhuo to the woods outside the city to transport the magic crystal cannon! My Wisp Knights have been there for a day and a night! Do you remember where we were buried? Be careful when digging, don't break it! β
"Got it!" Ziyue's answer came down from the air, and as soon as she heard me say it, she immediately rushed out.
After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Ziyue didn't come back, but my carrier pigeon came back first. When I opened it, it was Feng Yin's ethereal reply! "The battle situation is tight, quick reinforcement!"
It seems that the battle over there must be very fierce, and Feng Yin Miao is so busy that he can't even write a few more words! After receiving the letter, I could only continue to wait anxiously for Ziyue to return, and I used this time to check the various parts of the hull to familiarize myself with the environment. The old man followed me and helped me to introduce me to what I didn't understand.
As I walked over to the badge on the deck, I suddenly noticed something strange.
