The mighty fleet sailed on the vast sea.

In the center of the flotilla were three large ships of strange shapes. They have three hulls, one large, two small and one together, which together hold up the huge deck and gallop on the sea. Several sets of sails provided great power, and although only half sails were raised, they were still able to keep pace with the full-sailed warships around them.

They are the magic ship "Iron Dragon Lice" specially created by the United Kingdom of the South China Sea for naval warfare in a complex hydrological environment, this kind of warship has a shallow draft, fast sailing, and a huge deck can be equipped with a large number of troops and many heavy weapons, and can exert unimaginable power in naval warfare.

The Travelers have no intention of unlocking the Tech Tree of Gunpowder Weapons in this world - it's Pandora's box that, once opened, will unleash endless calamities.

In this world where the properties of sulfur and saltpeter are not consistent with those of the earth, it is not easy to study the formula of black powder. As for the development from black powder to a more powerful and murderous explosive tool...... There's no interest in making a Nobel Prize, and there's no need to make that kind of thing.

In fact, there are weapons in this world that use explosions as a source of energy. The Explosive Crystal, originally invented by the Dwarves, is a representative of this type of weapon.

However, people in this world generally tend to use them directly as bombs or incendiary bombs, without considering using the power of their explosion to propel metal projectiles to astonishing high speeds and turn them into indestructible blades - the analysis of the strategy group believes that it may be the backwardness of the metallurgical industry, which has led to this situation.

The kind of weapons that ushered in a new era of civilization on Earth are not so easy to make. First of all, it needs a shell that is strong enough to withstand the force of the explosion, and at the same time, the shell must not be too heavy, otherwise it will be difficult to transport and use. Behind these two almost diametrically opposed requirements is the progress of metallurgical technology.

Ilo, the representative of the Industrial Party among the Traversers, once tried to make artillery. After several experiments, he determined that bronze could be used to make a suitable gun, but the cost was too high to be cost-effective.

If that's all there is, maybe you can grit your teeth and build a few, at least if you install them on a warship. But another problem made the traversers completely abandon the plan to develop artillery.

...... They had no way to precisely control the "charge" of the explosion crystal.

As a magical artifact, the Exploding Crystal is quite non-rigorous. Its size is uncontrollable, and the power of each crystal when it explodes is different. Even two crystals of the same size can have a very different power of explosion.

Ilo tried a lot of ways, but he was never able to accurately control the explosive power of these small red crystals, resulting in the bronze cannon he tried to produce had no accuracy at all, even if the barrel was completely fixed, the two cannons could be hundreds of meters from front to back, left and right...... This is even the best record.

In this case, even the Industrial Party can only regrettably abandon such weapons, and there is no plan to even use them as cards.

As for muskets and stuff, although it's not difficult to do, the power is not worth expecting at all, so don't do it.

Turning back in a circle, the navies of the traversers, the long-range attack methods used, still returned to the traditional direction.

Magic, and things like bed crossbows and catapults.

Needless to say, the larger the deck, the more people can stand to cast spells, and even form a magic circle to cast spells together. The same is true for bed crossbows and the like, the larger the deck, the more powerful it is.

Therefore, how to make the deck of a warship bigger has always been one of the core issues in the construction of the navies of various countries.

The solution to this problem is Gree Trough.

Over the years, he has been working on multihulls, from classic catamarans, to trimarans, to pentamarans, and even heptamarans...... After a long period of research and exploration, the "Iron Dragon Llie" warship was finally finalized, and three were built.

Although there are only three, according to him, in a naval battle, such a ship can rival at least four or five large ships of the same size. In today's Western Continent world, it is an invincible fortress of war on the sea, just like the battleships on the earth back then!

In several exercises, the "Iron Dragon Llice" warship did show a huge advantage that other warships could hardly match, but when it came to real combat, whether this kind of warship could exert the kind of power he boasted about would soon be known as it would soon be known.

The panda sat on the deck of a "Iron Dragon Luse" and calmly watched the mighty fleet around him.

In his vicinity, many traversers were sitting or standing, waiting patiently.

It was less than three days away from the sea area of Skull Island, and according to the original battle plan, the fleet was almost ready to stop when it arrived here, preparing to wait for the other fleets to arrive at the designated place one by one, and then jointly launch the scheduled general attack.

"Why haven't the other two fleets arrived yet?" said in a low voice as Yunero, who had transformed into an ordinary person with a magic pendant next to the panda, frowning. "Didn't they make an appointment to arrive at their designated positions today and then launch a general attack? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

After a while, he couldn't help but look at the panda: "Panda, help me ask in the chat channel." ”

Panda nodded and opened the chat channel: "Yuguo, why haven't you arrived over there yet?"

"Our Elantz fleet is almost in place, and the Molai fleet is next to us, but there is no shadow of the Thracian fleet. Liu Daoqing made an annoyed expression, "We're looking for them!"

"What? The Thracian fleet is not small, right, where did they go?"

"I don't know! The Bird Riders scattered around, searching in all directions...... The people of Tethrac are too unreliable! It's just that they're late for dinner, but they can be late for war?!

Looking at the text of the chat channel, Yunero frowned, opened the private chat channel again, and asked, "Ah Groove (Gree Groove), how is the situation over there?"

"Not good. In the private chat channel, Gree Groove replied helplessly, "The situation of the fleet of the Mermaid Kingdom is fine, but the combined fleet of the Chamber of Commerce is really a rabble, messy! I estimate that it will probably take another day before they can arrive at the intended location." ”

Yunero sighed deeply and pinched her brow with her hand.

He never thought that the joint siege of the good end had not even started, and something went wrong.

Although the traversers still have an absolute advantage in the current situation, he has some foreboding about the outcome of this crusade.

(Perhaps...... I really should have just taken a few of my buddies to Skull Island, as Panda suggested before...... ）
