It looks sparkling, but the temper is not much better than the Black Sea.

A fleet of 23 large and small ships, mainly battleships, took a double-column formation to ride the wind and waves, and sailed south along the established route.

However, the flags fluttering on the mast obviously did not come from one family, and the fleet was dominated by Phaletis and Taylor, with the flags of Palos, Thessaly, and Tulip Principalities scattered with them.

On the surface, it seems to be mighty and majestic, but it can't help but have a sense of déjà vu of a ragtag army.

Because this time the opponent is not a pirate, but the world's number one power, Syrius.

The top brass of the alliance knew very well that sending low-level warships into battle was just a delivery of food, and for this reason they had unleashed their full war potential, but the battleships that could be drawn in a short period of time were already basically here.

The Tulip Alliance is located in an archipelago and consists of six island nations, unlike those land-based countries that have a vast continent as depth. They have everything from the sea, and they can only rely on the sea.

Therefore, the will of the alliance to develop the navy and maritime trade is also the most resolute, especially the thriving national strength of Faletis.

However, even though the number one in the alliance, Phaletis, already had the ambition to replace him, the gap between them and the number one power was still obvious.

There is not only a gap in the number of ordinary battleships, but also quasi-legendary warships of top power.

Although the colony of Cylius in the southern continent is not large, because of the rich mineral and vegetation resources, there are two quasi-legendary ships sitting in the town all year round. And in the entire Tulip Alliance, the six countries combined, there are only two ships in the southern continent, the "Northland Cold Wind" and the "Five Mast Peak".

So, for them it's a war that can only be won and not lost. The Cyrius family could afford to lose, but they couldn't afford to lose.

If it fails, the navy, which is the barrier of the kingdom, will be set back for at least ten years, and maybe even for decades afterward, there will be no chance to shake the throne of the sea of Hylius.

At this time.

As the flagship and pilot ship, the "Long-tailed Sparrow" is a third-class ship.

The most experienced navigators accurately determine the course from time to time through sextants, nautical chronometers, compasses, charts and other nautical tools to ensure that the fleet does not deviate.

Although the celestial phenomena of the Treasure Sea are equally dangerous, because of generations of navigators who have sacrificed their lives and deaths, two hundred years after the opening of the Great Voyage, navigation between the two continents has become very common.

However, the route from the Tulip Alliance countries to the Southern Continent cannot be bypassed by Ilya in any case, let alone the route that once opened up... The Galiot family.

Or rather, the current Phaletis Galliot family is more suitable.

With the rise of that Brigadier General Iscariot's fame.

The name that seems to have been buried in history, in addition to the scholars and professors who buried their heads in the pile of old papers, the adventurers and navigators who fought in unknown regions, are also known to everyone in the navy of the Kingdom of Phaletis.

In particular, the navigator who also came from "Newinn Harbor" and belonged to the First Fleet of the Kingdom was even more clear about this. And he knew that the passengers who boarded the ship before the fleet departed had a lot to do with Galott, but...

"Alas, what a pity Colonel Gehr..."

Putting down the brass telescope in his hand, the weather-covered old officer couldn't help but sigh even though he had been in war for a long time.

In the center of the fleet is a large supply ship.

Directly above the supply ship, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a huge albatross with a wingspan of nearly 10 meters circled around the fleet like a small aircraft.

Chirp...

On the supply ship, six pure white seagulls, much larger than ordinary seagulls, lined up and honestly stood on the mainmast sail boom.

On the deck beneath their feet, a girl in a long white dress with a clean and ethereal temperament, like a spring water, slowly withdrew her slender right hand that bloomed with white light.

"Alive, Babu alive!"

"Long live Miss Angel!"

“.....”

Watching his companions lying on the deck slowly open their eyes, a circle of sailors around them couldn't help but burst into cheers. He had just been burning, vomiting, cramping, palpitating, reddened skin, and half conscious, but he had completely regained consciousness.

Based on their experience, it takes less than three minutes to die of acute visceral failure after being stung by a blue-whiskered jellyfish. And three minutes couldn't wait for the clergy on the third-level battleship next to him to be treated.

If it weren't for the maiden's action, Babu would have died.

"Let him drink more water in the past two days, there will be no sequelae. ”

The girl's voice is like a mountain spring, sweet and refreshing, but not cold at all.

"Okay, thank you Miss Angel. ”

The crew was very grateful to the girl, even the captain and first mate on the supply ship who thought they were about to usher in non-combat attrition.

"You're welcome, you still need to take care of the rest of the journey. ”

As a born white witch, she has three talents: divine, healing, and animal affinity. The bite and sting of the animal was completely a gesture for Angel.

"Yes, yes, what is needed on board you just say. ”

In the fleet, warships may join the battle at any time. So Devri and her party, who had been notified to go to the Southern Continent to see Geer for the last time, were placed on this supply ship in the middle of the fleet.

Da Da...

When the girl turned around, the white skirt swirled, like a water lotus flower that hired Tingting.

The crew watched her walk into the best cabin on the stern floor, and their mouths were still admiring. If they hadn't worn religious robes and emblems, they would have even thought that this was a saint of the church.

Walking into the tail building, Anqi's eyes drooped slightly, and she relaxed her steps.

Through the round window, she could see Elantra unkempt in a crumpled shirt, practicing a sword in a cramped cabin.

Gritting his teeth, his face was cold and hard, as if facing an invisible enemy, and each sword exerted all his strength.

Where is there still the appearance of the second secondary teenager in the past?

In the next cabin, Devri, with all her gaudy clothes stowed, sat by the porthole and watched the sea quietly.

She has lost a lot of weight these days, her shoulders are thin, and even her chin, which is slightly rich because of her privileged life, has become a little slender.

But since receiving the news of Geer's accident, Devri has not cried from beginning to end, but in Anqi's eyes, this situation is more worrying than crying.

Obviously, this sudden change has changed a lot of things in this originally warm home.

'Angel, the teacher and Uncle Gehr are not here, you have to be strong and take care of your aunt!'

Biting her cherry blossom-colored lower lip, Angel, who was also uncomfortable in her heart, held a bouquet of tulips that she had spawned through witchcraft, pushed the door and walked in.

"Auntie, look, what is this?"

.......

After killing the Steel Knight and returning to the "Treasure Tree Bay", nearly a week passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

The Storm Horn still hadn't arrived, and Milan had sent a message through a spirit messenger that they had been delayed by a hurricane halfway through, and that it might take two more days.

However, the manufacture of electromagnetic weapons on Aiwen's side is gradually gaining eyebrows.

The optimal choice of "magnetoite", as the crystallization of civilization, is obviously not so easy to crack.

Even with the addition of Olivia, an official wizard of the gemological school, and the acquisition of some technical information in the city, it is not an overnight process to reproduce magnetoite in the material world.

After all, Ai Wen's thoughts were a little simpler.

However, it was not completely without gains, and the two worked together to create a transitional product.

Natural gemstones are gem minerals that belong to the hexagonal crystal system like magnetite, including apatite, beryl and benitoite.

With the help of the intuition of a gemological wizard, Olivia successfully replicated some of the functions of the "magnetite" by using the pale blue "aquamarine" in beryl as a substitute.

It can be regarded as making a "transcendent battery" with extremely high energy storage efficiency, although there is no infinite energy, but it is enough for the electromagnetic weapons that Ai Wen is currently making, but he needs to store energy for the "battery" in advance.

With this "extraordinary battery" as the core, Ai Wen used the time of the past few days to successfully produce the first prototype electromagnetic cannon.

The principle has long been figured out, and it is not difficult for a wizard with extremely hands-on skills to turn the theory into reality.

Aven initially had two options: an electromagnetic railgun and a coilgun.

Their principles vary.

The railgun is a magnetic field that interacts with an electric current, creating a strong ampere force that pushes the projectile to extremely high speeds (which can theoretically reach sub-light speeds)

The coil cannon uses a multi-stage acceleration coil, and the magnetic field of the induced current and the magnetic field of the accelerated coil current interact with each other to produce Lorentz force, which accelerates the projectile and launches it.

Comparatively.

The rails of the railgun produce a violent ablative effect, and after a certain number of fires, the rails need to be replaced. And even if friction is ignored, because of the relationship between energy efficiency, the conversion of electrical energy and kinetic energy can only reach about 35%-50%.

The coil gun, on the other hand, can avoid the mechanical contact between the projectile and the barrel through magnetic levitation technology, which avoids the generation of frictional resistance. And in theory, the lap gun can reach 100% potential, which is almost twice the efficiency of the railgun.

Moreover, the [Upanishad Coil Cannon] that Evan had already used was also using the latter's technology.

Although the construction was relatively complex, he finally chose the "coil cannon" as his first electromagnetic gun.

That is, [Extraordinary Armament - Electromagnetic Cannon 1.0] can be shipborne and handheld (limited to the third order and above)

Because there is no need to think about carrying, the shape is like a huge rifled cannon, the silver-white cannon body has fine blue runes, the caliber is 23mm, the barrel length is four meters, and there is a ring of gold external magnets.

Taking into account factors such as electrical conductivity, ease of acquisition, plasticity, etc., the material used in this electromagnetic cannon is pure silver enchanted by alchemy.

When I looted the Golden Post Road before, there were still a lot of silver ingots left in my hands to be used as ritual materials, which was more than enough to build a machine cannon.

At the end is inlaid with a hexagonal crystal pillar "aquamarine" battery from Olivia's hand.

At the same time, as a plug-in, there is also a pair of wristbands connected to countless wires, which can be manually operated at critical moments.

And in order to increase the muzzle velocity, he used every method he could think of.

External parallel and uniform magnetic field: A horseshoe-shaped magnet mechanism with an iron core is added to the outside of the barrel to allow the projectile to obtain a larger accelerating magnetic field.

Grow the track: Because the terminal kinetic energy is proportional to the square root of the track length.

With a lightweight projectile: with the same kinetic energy, the end velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the projectile mass.

For electromagnetic guns that need to be energized, there are two main types of ammunition, inert metal damage element and active damage element technology.

Inert metal damage elements mainly include aluminum, steel, tungsten, etc., and can only destroy targets with kinetic energy flying at high speeds.

The reactive destruction element technology not only has the mechanical strength similar to metal, but also contains chemical energy equivalent to that of high-energy explosives, and also has similar safety as inert materials, and will only explode after hitting the target at high speed.

Theoretically the best quality electromagnetic cannon shells.

"It's a pity, I won't make the active destruction element!"

After all considerations, Aven chose the lighter aluminum bullet after enchantment as the main ammunition for the electromagnetic cannon, with tungsten steel.

Even with alchemy, aluminum, which required electrolysis, was a precious metal comparable to gold and silver in this era, but in fact it was the most abundant metallic element in the earth's crust.

In the future, others may think that every shot fired by the [Electromagnetic Cannon] is extremely expensive and has great restrictions, but for Ai Wen, it is actually the price of cabbage.

So, after creating a big killing weapon, he found a way to get rich.

There are many ways to get rich, so leave him alone for the time being.

As also gun lovers, Evan and Olivia felt around the silver-white cannon, and they really couldn't put it down.

Everything is in place, and they are left with only one question:

"Who should this freshly baked fiery first shot be given to?"
