Chapter 235: The Test Is Complete
In this world, giant sea creatures that are comparable in size to ships are often referred to as "sea monsters".
In a general sense, sea monsters are all extraordinary creatures, the smallest small species are at least 30 meters long, and the large species are generally 50-100 meters in size, you must know that the largest warship first-class battleship made by humans in this era is only 70 meters.
The size of the giant species is usually about 500 meters, which is longer than seven first-class ships with their bow and tail together.
The kraken on top of them is called the "Son of the Poseidon", and is at least over a thousand meters long, not much worse than a small island.
Now this large species "Sea Devil" is only eighty meters long in the main part, not to mention that there are dozens of brachiopods on its body that are more than twice the length of its body, and it is obviously at the peak of the large species, and even half a foot has stepped into the ranks of the giant species.
As a dependent of Urketo, he was already full of hatred for human beings carved into the bone marrow, and was inexplicably caught here by humans, and now he has been forced into a desperate situation by unknown forces. As soon as this large breeder appeared on the surface of the sea, he went berserk and launched a furious charge towards the nearest warship to the north!
"Attention to all gun emplacements, reload solid shells, prepare .... Fire!!"
On the same second-class battleship, even though the mouth and nose were already filled with the stinking sea breeze, the captain still commanded and gave the order to open fire very calmly.
Boom, boom, boom....
Orange-red cannon flames burst out on the sea, reflecting the sea on the port side of the battleship in red.
On the three-tier artillery deck, 45 guns on one side of the ship were fired together, including 13 terrifying 32-pounder guns weighing 3.3 tons, and the scorching shells carried huge kinetic energy and sent out a piercing scream, crashing into the hideous and terrifying "Sea Devil".
At a distance of about 800 meters, there is really no reason to shoot such a large target.
A large blue blood mist suddenly exploded on the sea monster's body.
Searing iron cannonballs easily burrowed into the sea monster's flesh, some tumbling and churning inside it, others bursting its tentacles and flying farther into the sea.
With just one salvo, even the charge of the large sea monster was directly interrupted, and the number of shells hit more than twenty was almost wiped out of half of its life.
"Reload!"
The gunners on the battleship calmly gave orders, and the gunners quickly reloaded their ammunition.
The application of special powder packs made of velvet cloth wrapped in gunpowder ensured that all substances were able to burn completely in the chamber of the gun, and also greatly accelerated the reloading of ammunition.
In this way, even when handling a 32-pounder gun weighing 3.3 tons, experienced gunners can ensure a rate of fire of two rounds a minute, and small calibers such as 24-pounder, 18-pounder, and 12-pounder are faster, ensuring continuous fire.
"Fire!"
There was no need for the help of the other three battleships that had been slowly surrounded, and after the second salvo, the battered "Sea Devil" had completely lost its ability to act.
At this time, the "Frost White Sword" finally approached the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated.
Evan could also get a glimpse of the large sea monster, at least in all this time at sea, Evan had never encountered a large species.
But then again, it's a kind of luck not to meet it, and if you encounter this kind of monster when there is no big guy (such as the Rose Sword Master) to take care of you, you may not be able to come back a long time ago.
It is said that Cyrius' Grand Treasure Fleet capsized on the sea four times, two times because of storms that exceeded the limits of what it could bear, and two times because of hordes of sea monsters...
As a large species, the "sea devil" is obviously much more tenacious than the former "mirage starfish".
Bang!bang...
Even though it was immobile at sea, dozens of stout wrists and feet were still tapping instinctively against the sea, and Aven had no doubt that a casual blow could destroy a dhow.
However, everyone knows that this battle .... It's over.
The "Sea Devil" is now only in its death throes, and as time goes by, it will naturally fall silent completely.
At least in the battle on the surface, the large sea monster is really no match for a second-class battleship equipped with the most advanced conventional weapons of mankind.
At the same time, the results of the battle speak of the success of "Song of the Siren"!
This time, the test task was successfully completed.
As the inventors of the "Song of the Siren", Evan and Anthony couldn't help but clap their hands lightly, celebrating the victory of the battleship, and of course, the victory of the two of them!
"Perfect!hahaha..."
By this time, the four battleships had already reassembled.
In his excitement, Evan noticed that the battleship that had previously held the west was actually a first-class ship with only single digits in the entire kingdom - the "Weston Castle", and the royal flag was flying high on its mainmast!
There is no doubt that the most distinguished person on the scene at this time is on this first-class ship.
"Lieutenant Colonel Evan and Lieutenant Colonel Anthony, please come over for a moment. ”
While noticing the first-class ship, a voice sounded in the ears of the two people, as if they were talking next to them, even if they didn't use the "Violet Eye" ID card.
Is that... Princeton Principal's voice.
The two looked at each other and heard the source of the sound.
Most of the members of the "Violet Eye" have dual identities, being both the Kingdom Navy and the wizards of the secret society "Violet Eyes".
And no matter which side you count, Princeton, the former marshal of the Navy, the president of the Royal Naval College and the head of the association, is a real boss for them!
The big guys beckoned, and the two of them didn't care about using the longboat equipped on the warship and slowly rowed over.
Peal –
Evan jumped straight off the deck, his long boots speeding on the crest of the waves, even faster than on the ground.
Anthony, a current player, doesn't need to worry about Evan at all, a "Water Walking Ring" has solved everything perfectly.
Whoosh!
Without much delay, the two of them had already jumped onto the "Weston Castle" one after the other.
"Your Highness/Mr. Headmaster, good day!"
Seeing the crowd on the deck, led by a young lady and a white-haired old man, the two men saluted respectfully.
"Hahaha, look at these two handsome young men, our heroes are here!"
Principal Princeton was like a generous and gentle elder, smiling heartily as he introduced the inventor of the "Siren's Song" to the "guests" from the royal capital behind him.
With his current status and power, he has been able to ignore many complicated and complicated etiquette and only say what he wants to say.
"Over the years, under the leadership of President Princeton, the Naval Academy and Violet have produced many talents. It is precisely because of the pillar of the country like Mr. Chancellor that two such outstanding young people have the opportunity to play!"
A tall man at the head of the observation group, dressed in elaborate clothes and embroidered with a noble coat of arms on his neckline, complimented the old headmaster.
One sentence has been praised by three people in a row, well, this is very noble.
Evan glanced at the embroidered crest of the nobleman, blue for loyalty and truth, red for the stoic and resolute of a soldier, a white horse ready for the monarch, and the sunflower on the right.
For Ai Wen, the appearance, life, advantages, and preferences of hundreds of people are "remembered" clearly, and this kind of heraldry that only needs to be memorized by rote is naturally not a problem.
Well, the hardcore royal party of the Hanseatic Marquis family, old bureaucrats.
The old headmaster smiled, it would be good to listen to the compliments, especially since the person who spoke was still a great nobleman of the martial arts sect with a big knight rank.
When the country is in a period of steady rise, most of the contradictions between various factions can be covered up by real interests, and it seems that there is harmony, hello and me, but if you believe him, you are the real fool.
The second speaker was an elderly priest in a black robe, standing in the position of the church, and his words were as high as ever, with a big picture and a big picture:
"The half-month test plan has been completed, and we have all seen the effect of the 'Song of the Kraken', and the pace of attacking the unknown territory of the ocean can be appropriately accelerated.
If the obstacles are removed, the development of human navigation will surely take a big step forward! The glory of the goddess will also be sown to even more distant places!"
This is none other than Benedict, the old bishop of Newin Cathedral, who was projected by the evil god Percell and the principal of Princeton, who worked together with the principal of Princeton to kill the projection of the evil god.
However, now, because of the strong support of local forces (led by the royal family), coupled with the successful rescue of the clergy and some people of "Moby Dick Harbor" by the "Iron Wall Knights" team sent by him, it is a rare official performance in the entire massacre.
Combined with his decades of dedication, the old bishop is about to become bishop of the diocese of Pharytis.
Before leaving the "Port of Newinn", he came here as a representative of the Church of the Goddess to verify the validity of the new "alchemical apparatus".
And it is the Kingdom's unsolicited invitation to the church.
It's not that the top level of the kingdom doesn't have a sense of secrecy, unlike the previous "Practical Prevention and Treatment Plan for Scurvy", the most sophisticated alchemy appliance in the "Song of the Siren" has a higher technical content, and others can't discover the secrets just by looking at it.
This significant invention could be used as a monopoly military product, produced by the secret kingdom of Pharytis with various secret measures, and then sold to allies in the form of arms procurement.
And a more credible church is the best go-between!
The higher-ups of the kingdom did not care whether the goddess could benefit from more vigorous seafaring and gain more power, because infinity plus a hundred plus a thousand would result in infinity. The church is the church and the goddess is the goddess, and they are more concerned with their own worldly interests.
Exploration of the unknown ocean has always been a high-risk activity, and even with a new weapon such as the "Song of the Siren", it is impossible to immediately change the progress of ocean exploration by leaps and bounds.
But.
The higher security after going to sea is enough to make the military of various countries generously contribute to it.
They have seen that the lucrative rewards that are more stable than ocean exploration are already beckoning to the kingdom....
