Chapter 336: Building a Submarine (1)
Although Zhou Dong agreed to set off with Liya to Yongju Island, in fact, this journey was not easy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sea, beautiful and dangerous.
Unless they are sea creatures, they have a great chance of dying in the ocean if they are caught during a storm at sea.
Zhou Dong and Liya began to discuss the preparations, the first thing they needed was a sturdy ship, as well as a good sailor and captain.
Leah's original plan was to go to Desker's port city of "Askatra" and hire someone else's ship to go to the island of Eternal Gathering.
However, it takes a lot of money, after all, no one wants to work without pay.
Zhou Dong vetoed Liya's plan, because such an action was helpless for Liya, but for him, it was irresponsible for his own life.
The ship, Zhou Dong decided to build it himself, and the crew, he could cultivate it by himself, and take as many factors as possible into his own hands, which is Zhou Dong's consistent habit.
Liya was skeptical, she was a seasoned adventurer with more "experience" than Jane after all, unlike Jane's current attitude of almost adoring Zhou Dong, who thought that Zhou Dong could do anything.
For example, what happened in the evening, Zhou Dong seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, and before Lia arrived, he had already told her to be ready to stay behind and ask her to strictly follow the daily schedule he had set for her.
Zhou Dong asked Liya to give Zhou Dong some time, believing that he would soon surprise the female elf.
That night, Liya slept in the guest room, but Jane quietly communicated with Zhou Dong by telepathy.
"Eric, didn't you say that you would conquer the Vortex Mountains first, then Tesser, and finally conquer the entire Feren Continent, why did you start preparing to go to sea as soon as Leah came?"
Because it was telepathic, Jane's almost naked jealousy and mood swings were not hidden.
Zhou Dong sighed in his heart, the matter between humans and humanoid intelligent beings about men and women really made him incomprehensible, always wasting so much energy for these things, how could he achieve a thing perfectly?
Even so, Zhou Dong still had to explain it to Jane, otherwise if he was always troubled by this matter in his heart, it would definitely affect other things that this little girl did.
Zhou Dong outlined the reason why Liya went out, and then said bluntly: "Because I think she may be more talented than you in this regard, I have to complete those things for her that she cares about very much, and then try to cultivate her." ”
Such straightforward words obviously broke Jane's heart, even because of the time of contact with him, Jane's thinking became more calm and holistic.
But Jane is still a newcomer and a woman after all, and understanding and accepting it is another matter, and her heart is still very uncomfortable and unconvinced at this time.
Zhou Dong felt her telepathy, and he still couldn't quite understand this emotion, but the unconvinced emotion was the reason why he spoke bluntly, he wanted to draw out the sense of confrontation and competition between Jane and Leya, and use their feelings for him as one of the motivations for them to devote themselves more actively to the cause of science.
Although there are no defects in the brain of this body, or the physiological structure of the entire body, Zhou Dong's nature is difficult to change.
This sensible, calm, almost completely emotionless soul has only an interest in exploring and pursuing the unknown.
This is the nature of the soul that has been forged by countless experiences and countless choices since birth, and the incarnation will that it has differentiated is no longer beyond the influence of an ordinary human body.
How stubborn is this nature?
It is enough to bring the ontology back to the original world and connect the spiritual consciousness of nearly seven billion human beings around the world, and it will no longer shake his foundation.
Because in the eighteen years of the astral realm in this world, the ontology has a period of sublimation in the spiritual world, like a huge stone in the ocean of storms all day long, he has endured the continuous impact of hundreds of millions of people's consciousness every day and night, and has always adhered to his original heart, little by little his consciousness is worn out, and transformed into a trace of pure spiritual origin power to absorb it.
This is why Zhou Dong tried his best to maintain his human form, contact with human society as much as possible, and act in accordance with the universal laws of good and evil as much as possible.
It is the body, the mind, and the spirit, in which the later the spiritual route goes, the more powerful it seems, and the more the consciousness of other beings it comes into contact with, the greater the influence it will be on.
This point, when it was influenced by hundreds of millions of believers in the original world, was the most dangerous manifestation.
This loophole that cannot be avoided by a spiritual cultivator, since he left the X-Men world and entered the Resident Evil world, after seeing those humans who abandoned their human appearance and turned into monsters in order to gain power, Zhou Dong used them as a mirror to discover this loophole, and began to consider it from that time.
Zhou Dong must remember who he is and what he looks like.
He is Zhou Dong, he was born in the original world, an ordinary human on a planet called Earth, an ordinary universe, occasionally fused into the body by the space-time energy leaked from the void torn by a hadron collider explosion, and has the ability to travel through time and space, which is the starting point of his life.
The deeper reason, the current Zhou Dong doesn't understand, but there is a vague feeling.
This feeling is not summarized by the superficial self-consciousness of Zhou Dong, but by the subconscious mind about all the information of the super-huge memory bank that he has recorded throughout his life, in another way of thinking, through a different route like a supercomputer and a quantum computer...... The way of thinking of the subconscious mind is completely different from the way of thinking of Zhou Dong's self-consciousness.
It's like two different sets of algorithms in a computer, maybe of the same level, but one is dedicated to multiplication and the other is dedicated to division, which is not necessarily superior or inferior, but has different functions.
This feeling told Zhou Dong and let him know that no matter how much an intelligent life changes, there must always be something that can never change, and if it changes, then he or it will always become another life.
Zhou Dong didn't understand the reason, but he believed in this feeling, and after he clearly understood, in the future, when he broke through the limitations of the dimension, this layer of fog would become thinner and thinner, and more "revolutionary ancestors" would use the fact of blood and tears to tell him the importance of this approach.
What's more, Zhou Dong feels that the current Zhou Dong is very good, the same as him before.
Zhou Dong didn't know what was good about being sentimental before, and he didn't think it was bad, because strong feelings also have an adrenaline-like effect, which is a double-edged sword, and now he has the same opinion.
How he was before, how he is now, this kind of consistent feeling in the book, no matter what other people seem, at least Zhou Dong himself feels very comfortable.
……
The next day, Zhou Dong took Lia and Jane to inspect the whole picture of his army.
This journey will be difficult, because this time it will be out of the deep sea, and Yongju Island is located in the depths of the Traceless Sea, 1,800 miles away from the continent of Faerun.
Guarded by the high magic of the elves, the sea elves, the unrelenting mages, and the mighty forces of the sea, the island is rarely approached by outsiders unless invited by the elves.
The location of the Sea of Traceless is that after going out of Huoyalong Bay, passing through the Racing Strait, and then sailing a long distance along the map at eight o'clock, at this time, in the vast sea, they can temporarily rest and replenish supplies on Lantan Island.
Then, with more preparations, adventurers can officially go deep into the depths of the Traceless Sea, but this is not enough, because the Eternal Gathering Island is protected by the magic of the elves, and it is not easy to find it on the sea, and it is even more difficult to get close to it after finding it.
Generally speaking, if you want to go to Eternal Island, it is best to go through some portals that have been abandoned by the elves or are still in the hands of the elves.
However, Leah didn't know where there were portals, so she chose to sail directly to find Eternal Island, because she had a Tears of the Stars necklace.
Through the attachment magic on the necklace, it can guide her in the right direction, which is Liya's greatest reliance, and it is also one of the reasons why Zhou Dong promised her.
Yongju Island is the residence of the new kingdom chosen by the elves after the collapse of the elven royal court and the glorious period when the elves dominated the continent, where there is the oldest inheritance of the elves, a race that once dominated the entire Faeron continent.
Zhou Dong is very interested, in Yongju Island, there must be some secrets that are very precious, that is to abide by the agreement and be trapped in the star boundary The body cannot be touched, now that this incarnation has a chance, he naturally wants to grasp it.
Otherwise, Leah's appearance and the value of an elf alone would not impress him at all, and he would be willing to risk the deadly danger of an unpredictable storm at sea to help her.
"Does it have to be so troublesome?" Liya frowned at Zhou Dong and asked with a frown when she was so busy and unfamiliar with the nautical realm, she hoped to go to sea to Yongju Island as soon as possible.
"If you are willing to find other people, or take their boats, then I am willing to accompany you, but you have to think clearly that it is a sin to carry an important treasure on your body, if I am a qualified adventurer or merchant, and you own the necklace of the Tears of the Star, once I let me know its effect, I am willing to risk my life to take it, and sell it to any large power or country, a compass that will always point the direction of Eternal Island, they will definitely be ecstatic and offer a very high price." Zhou Dong pointed out the most critical point without hesitation.
As Leah listened, memories of the ugly events of her adventurer's journey came back to her, and she fell silent.
Zhou Dong knew all about her psychological changes, and continued to explain the design essentials of the design drawings of the ship's internal components that he had drawn overnight last night to a group of goblin workers, and he didn't need to look back to know Liya's thoughts.
"Sea navigation is different from land or offshore water, sea vessels refer to ships engaged in sea navigation, it is compared with inland river vessels, because the sea environment is more severe and dangerous than the inland river environment, so in terms of construction specifications and seaworthiness standards and technology, sea vessels are several times stricter than inland river vessels, and the doorway in this is not as easy as the practice of a combat profession."
"But your blueprints look weird, not quite like the ship you first saw."
"Because it's a special kind of ship, it's called a submarine."
"What kind of ship is a submarine?"
"A special vessel that can dive below five meters of water, in the event of a storm at sea, this kind of vessel has a very high survival rate and safety, and it is difficult for a general storm at sea to affect the domestic environment below about seven meters."
Zhou Dong answered Leah and Jane's questions, but seeing that their faces were still full of questions, he knew that this was an answer that led to more questions.
He reckons to both of them like a super-encyclopedia full of knowledge they had never heard of.
But Zhou Dong is also happy to be like this, and if they are interested in him, they will study seriously.
On the continent of Feren, where steelmaking methods were not yet developed in the Middle Ages of Europe, steel production was still a major problem for all parties.
With Zhou Dong's ability, it will also take some time and means to get enough steel to build a small submarine.
However, the interior of the submarine could be paired with some sturdy wood, which was already left to the goblin mechanics and orc choppers.
Orc choppers scout the Vortex Mountains for wood raw materials that are hard and tough enough, while goblin mechanics have to devour the design drawings given to them by Zhou Dong in a matter of months, and follow the above requirements to make internal components that meet the quality and size requirements.
For them, Zhou Dong is required in accordance with the standards of life and death in wartime, and if they can't do it well or complete it, they will be dealt with by military law.
During World War I and World War II in the original world, whether it was the Axis powers led by Germany, Italy and Japan, or the Allies led by China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, their scientists burst out with amazing imagination and creativity when their forces lost on all sides of the battlefield, especially Germany and Russia, as well as the most terrifying weapon that can destroy human civilization itself, the atomic bomb, was also born during that period.
From the essence of the senses, Zhou Dong does not like war, war consumes human and material resources, construction is more difficult than destruction, and war is pure destruction and destruction.
But in terms of substantive interests, Zhou Dong is willing to happen, or take the initiative to provoke war, war is the best catalyst for civilization progress, as long as a man has experienced a love affair betrayed by a woman, and become an infantry to participate in a bombardment battle, even if he is as stupid as a pig, he will grow into a qualified man, and a great transformation will occur.
The problem now was to get enough steel to cast the submarine's sturdy, waterproof shell, and a complete set of tools for melting and forging.
If you have to do it yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to get it out in a few months, and no matter how hard you are, the time is very tight.
In this way, Zhou Dong can only use his methods to fight other power organizations.
The first is the nearby human city of Moss, and the second is the harbor city further afield, where there will definitely be shipyards.
But these are not ideal, Zhou Dong has technology and theory, and what is missing is just a place.
And now, the Vortex Mountain Range has an ideal location and force that is most suitable for Zhou Dong's requirements-the Mountain Shield Dwarf.
