Chapter 176: Treasure Ship
After getting the Fountain of Immortality, Li Luwei returned directly to his base camp and plunged into the laboratory, ignoring foreign objects and concentrating on studying the Fountain of Immortality. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After a series of tests, Li Luwei has a comprehensive understanding of the effect of the Fountain of Immortality.
First of all, the Fountain of Immortality has a life-prolonging effect, but it is a pity that the Fountain of Immortality can only be used once for the same person, and the second time it will not have any life-prolonging effect. In addition, the longevity effect of the Fountain of Eternal Life also varies from person to person.
To put it bluntly, the principle of longevity of the Fountain of Eternal Life is to plunder one person's remaining life span and deliver it to another person in order to achieve the goal of life extension.
For example, if a person's total life expectancy is 80 years old, then if this person is taken out of life by the Fountain of Eternal Life at the age of 60, then the other person will only have 20 years of life, and in the same way, if the person who has been deprived of his life is a young man who is only 20 years old, then the other person will get an extension of 60 years.
So, what if the Fountain of Immortality directly extracted the lifespan of an immortal seed to extend the life of another person?
For example, vampires, goblins, basilisks, and even fire dragons, which can easily reach hundreds or thousands of years of life?
It's a pity that the facts tell everyone that the loopholes are not so easy to drill.
If you want to prolong the life of the Fountain of Immortality, there is another premise, that is, there is not much difference in strength between the two people who use the Fountain of Impotence, or the person who accepts the life extension must be stronger than the strength of the person who has been taken out of life, otherwise, the Fountain of Immortality will not only have any life extension effect, but also produce a toxin that is enough to kill at the same time, and one of Li Luwu's subordinates was poisoned by this toxin on the spot because of an experiment with a dragon, and he didn't even have time to detoxify.
And this measure of strength, without any additional conditions, is completely a competition in physical fitness, or more accurately a competition in life energy, even if you have a powerful magic power, can subdue the fire dragon, but your body is still an ordinary person's body, compared to the body of the fire dragon is simply a heaven and a earth, so, the fountain of immortality not only can't help you, but also poisons you.
This toxin reminded Li Luwei of the genetic toxin in infinite terror, and he also named it so.
In the original plot, Blackbeard and her daughter were mortally wounded at the same time and needed the Fountain of Immortality to continue their lives. Sparrow took the opportunity to take out the Fountain of Eternal Life and let Blackbeard choose who to drink the cup of Fountain of Immortality containing mermaid tears.
Blackbeard, who had already lost his family affection, chose to sacrifice his daughter at the first time, and drank the cup of the fountain of immortality containing mermaid tears first, in order to be able to continue his life, don't you know, it's all Jack? Sparrow lied to him, and the real fountain of immortality was drunk by his daughter.
Blackbeard's daughter was saved with the help of the Fountain of Youth, and not only was her mortal wound instantly healed, but her life was extended, and she also recognized Blackbeard's true face of dehumanization.
After testing, the Fountain of Immortality has a healing effect, and this effect is very obvious, better than ordinary recovery potions, comparable to the fairy beans in the Dragon Ball world.
No matter how many injuries you have, as long as you have a little fountain of immortality, your injuries will heal instantly, even if you are disabled with missing arms and legs, you can also recover, let you be reborn with broken limbs, the effect is simply not too good, but unfortunately, the effect of this treatment does not include poisoning, curses and other treatments.
For example, if you are poisoned, poisoning completely erodes your five internal organs, making your five internal organs exhaust and die, the Fountain of Eternal Life can instantly help your five internal organs to recover as before, but it will not detoxify you, and after that, this poison will still erode your five internal organs and make you die. Curses have the same effect.
Although the Fountain of Immortality has all kinds of unsatisfactory, it is already very good, after all, it can still make people's life expectancy nearly double, that is double, how many people can't even want to live for an extra year.
Besides, there is not only one kind of fountain of immortality that can prolong life, the fountain of life of Shangri-La in the legendary world of gods and ghosts, the blood orchid of the world of the mad python disaster, and the elixir of life in the mythical world, there are not too many things that can prolong life, just waiting for Li Luxian to explore it after his strength is strong. This fountain of immortality is only the most recent and the easiest to obtain.
Of course, in addition to the study of the Fountain of Immortality, Li Luwei did not forget the expansion of his own forces.
According to Aldington's intelligence, Britain has completed its domination of India and has now begun to turn its attention to Southeast Asia, and with the decline of the Dutch, the only thing Britain wants to deal with is the real king of Southeast Asia, Li Luan.
Moreover, Britain seems to have done something about Li Luan, and in order to be able to defeat Li Luyao, Britain chose to join forces with France.
It can be said that the ensuing dispute between Li Luwei and Britain and France was completely a war of absolute world belonging.
Of course, this war will not come so soon, Britain still needs to digest the whole of India, France also needs to strengthen the layout in Vietnam, and Li Zhiwei also needs to accumulate strength.
Now it's like the calm before the storm, the more peaceful it looks, the more violent it becomes.
The training of wizards will take time, but Li Luwu will not do anything to watch Britain and France accumulate strength.
Expansion of the army.
The army was expanded again by 250,000.
Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, without the protection of a strong army, there will be no stable rule, with the continuous expansion of the territory, the expansion of the army is imperative.
In addition to the expansion of the army, some armaments also need to be upgraded.
Li Luwei has been actively restraining the development of science and technology, that is, he does not want to establish a scientific worldview before the foundation of magic is established, which is contrary to his plan, only when the civilization of magic reaches a certain level, Li Luwei will choose to integrate science and technology into it, and let science and technology promote the development of magic, such as rune technology and magic technology, instead of letting science erode the soil for the growth of magic.
Therefore, this time for the renewal of the military department, Li Luwu is only working on primary gunpowder technology, and will definitely not unseal modern technology.
After all, it is still the era of nautical hegemony, so the battleship has become the absolute main force.
The first to be updated were the battleships.
The treasure ship is the capital ship that Li Luwei chose for his fleet.
What is Treasure Ship? As a Chinese, don't tell me you don't know.
The treasure ship is the largest sea ship in Zheng He's fleet, and it is the largest wooden sailing ship in the history of Chinese navigation in the history of Chinese navigation and the largest in the history of world navigation made by Chinese shipbuilders during the Ming Dynasty combined with the shipbuilding experience of previous dynasties.
According to the British scholar Mills's calculations, the displacement of the treasure ship is about 3,100 tons, and it can carry 2,500 tons. According to the calculations of the Chinese scholar Tang Zhiba (the data are contained in Chapter 7 of his book "History of Chinese Ships"), the displacement of the treasure ship should reach 5,000-10,000 tons. According to the cooperation of Jimei Aviation College, Dalian Maritime College, and Wuhan Water Transport Engineering College in 1985, after the demobilization of the treasure ship in accordance with the principle of shipbuilding and the construction method of Chinese-style wooden sailing ships, the largest treasure ship was estimated to have a full load displacement of about 22,848 tons, and the square shape coefficient was 0.43, which could weigh 9,824 tons (see Chapter 4 of "Chinese Maritime History" edited by Peng Deqing et al.).
It can be seen that the great wisdom of the Chinese ancestors is impressive, compared with the Western wooden sailing ship has never exceeded 10,000 tons, in Europe in the 13th and 17th centuries, the displacement of the general wooden sailing ship is about 2,000 tons, and the largest is only 4,000 tons, and the structure of this wooden sailing ship is easy to sink in the first place, which seriously affects the navigation performance, and even leads to the disintegration of the ship in the storm.
Of course, the treasure ship that Li Luwei chose was not the treasure ship recorded in history, and he made some optimizations to make it stronger and faster.
Li Jiwei's treasure ship is 150 meters long, 45 meters wide, with a displacement of 8,000 tons, five decks, 500 guns of various types, and 3,000 sailors.
A well-deserved hegemon of the seas.
With the current level of technology in the world, there is no need for much, as long as there are dozens of ships, it is enough to sweep the entire world, and no country's fleet is Li Jiwu's opponent.
In addition to the refitting of the capital ship, other similar frigates have also been replaced.
Except for those first, second and third class battleships that continued to be retained, all other small battleships were eliminated and replaced with flying clippers.
The clipper is the fastest boat in the history of wooden sailing boats, this type of boat has a small freeboard, less superstructure, not only improves the stability of the boat, but also can make the most of the sail. The hull is almost close to the water surface to sail, the length-width ratio is generally greater than 6:1, and its underwater shape is designed to be the smallest in order to increase the speed, and maintain a certain lateral resistance profile, resulting in the waterline is particularly beautiful, and even in the first waterline surface has a concave, long and sharp curve scissor-shaped head column is a situation suitable for racing, and can split waves (cut waves) at sea to reduce wave resistance, hence the name flying shear.
This kind of flying clipper will be the main force of cruising within Li Lu's forces in the future.
It's ancient now, and what does speed mean in ancient times? Needless to say, everyone should also understand that speed represents stable rule, how many dynasties have been defeated in speed, and speed has also killed the possibility of further progress in ancient China.
However, the clipper also has a disadvantage, that is, the excessive pursuit of speed, so that the tonnage of the clipper can not be too big, 2000 tons is already its limit, more than 3000 tons do not need to think, completely lost the speed advantage, however, for ordinary cruising in the territory is completely enough.
Now that the wizard is not out, with the flying clippers, Li Luan, can quickly send the army to various places, only where there is water, can be quickly arrived, even faster than fast horses, it can be said that the popularity of the flying clippers represents that Li Luwei has the basis for ruling the entire area of influence.
