Chapter 603: Battleship Transformation
In order to smoothly deliver the materials needed by Rocky to Thunderhawk City, the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce can be said to have worked hard, not only gathered its own escort fleet together, but also hired several large mercenary groups, and then came to Thunderhawk City.
Similarly, in order to have a smooth handover with the Chamber of Commerce, Rocky has been waiting outside every day almost since the caravan approached Beishan Village, just so that once the caravan starts a war with Heavenly Fury City, he can support him as soon as possible, maybe he can't argue with the other party now, but as long as he gets the merchant ship loaded with supplies to Thunderhawk City, it will be successful, so Rocky has been guarding outside these days, ready to support at any time.
As a result, to everyone's surprise, the originally rampant fleet of Heavenly Fury City did not start a war with the caravan this time as before, and Zhi was directly released.
And in the face of such a result, the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce is naturally extremely happy, because not fighting means that there is no loss, and as long as it can hand over smoothly with Rocky and can send the materials to Thunder Eagle City, the task of the Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to completion, and in this case, the Chamber of Commerce naturally breathes a sigh of relief.
Although Rocky was relieved in comparison, he thought more about it, and quickly understood why Skyfury City didn't make a move this time.
First, it may be because the escort fleet sent by the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce this time is too large, and even if the Heavenly Fury City can win against it, its own losses will not be small, which is not conducive to their long-term blockade, so they chose to let it go.
But Rocky felt that this was only secondary, and he felt that the second point was the most important, that is, the other party noticed his thoughts!
This may be crucial for Rocky, but it doesn't matter, because he doesn't care if the other party is aware of his intentions, and he has no intention of hiding in the first place.
So after successfully receiving the goods from the Chamber of Commerce, he immediately ordered the factory to start work and make all efforts to make battle armor!
In the half a month of waiting for supplies, the R&D team had already completed the design of Lilia and others' new battle armor, so the arsenal could be produced immediately after it started, but after doing this, the R&D team was not idle, they were even busier than the arsenal, because there was still a task to transform the battleship waiting for them.
As I said before, in addition to letting the Chamber of Commerce deliver a batch of supplies, Rocky also asked the Chamber of Commerce to bring fifty warships, so while getting the supplies, these fifty warships were also handed over to him.
In fact, when the two sides handed over, the leader of the caravan also specially told Rocky that they could leave a part of the escort fleet behind, so that Rocky's capital to fight against Heavenly Fury City would be more sufficient.
However, as if he had rejected Edgeraymond's kindness, Rocky also refused this request, he wanted to rely on fifty warships and his own air demon troops to break through the blockade of Skyfury City!
I have to say that Rocky's performance in this matter can no longer be described as persistent, and even a little extreme, but since he said so, the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce naturally could not force it, and in the end the caravan had to leave with all the escort fleets, and took away a large number of tank-type armor that should have been delivered a long time ago, leaving only the supplies and fifty frigates in Thunderhawk City.
In fact, they are wrong about Rocky, they think that Rocky has fallen into the extreme, but in fact Rocky is just confident!
Because Orton and the others' research on runes has long been not limited to the field of warframes, they have tried to use runes on battleships as early as two years ago, and have been doing research in this area since then.
That's why Rocky asked for fifty warships from the Chamber of Commerce, and he wanted to transform all of them into city rune warships!
So when the arsenal began to work overtime and start producing armor all the time, the research team also worked overtime to transform fifty warships.
Although it is only a transformation, this is still a difficult task for the R&D team led by Orton, because this kind of transformation is not just as simple as painting runes on the battleships, Orton and they need to fully strengthen these battleships from the inside out to meet the needs of the battle.
First of all, they need to strengthen the battleship's defense network, and this is also the biggest project in the transformation, due to the limited time, they can't directly transform the battleship's operation core into the city rune, so they can only add new equipment, and use these rune-based equipment to greatly strengthen the battleship's defense network.
Secondly, it is to use runes to strengthen the power of the battleship, which is relatively simple, you only need to combine the runes with the magic stones on the battleship, and both sides can output power to the battleship together.
Finally, and the most critical, is to strengthen the attack ability of the battleship, this matter is actually not technically difficult, when Orton first came to Thunderhawk City, he was asked by Rocky to strengthen the magic cannon on the battleship, and Orton also blew up several warships at that time, so this transformation technology Orton and others have already studied it.
So the real difficulty of this transformation is actually manpower, because the magic cannon needs to be manually strengthened one by one, which requires a large number of manpower, so that even a master of the level of Aniye personally went out and personally carved runes on the magic cannon of the battleship, of course, Rocky was no exception, he also personally went into battle to transform the battleship with everyone.
Under this intense and non-stop preparation, a month passed quickly, and all of Lodge's arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner during the course of the month.
The training of the air demon warriors had already begun before the supplies were transported to Monte and the others, and as Rocky imagined, because the guards of Thunder Eagle City had a very solid foundation and rich combat experience, they grew very fast in the training process, and now these new air demon warriors can already wear the air demon armor for practical exercises.
At the same time, the production of the armor is also very smooth, because a batch of tank armor has been manufactured, and the workers have experience in all aspects, so the speed of production of the armor has been significantly accelerated, not only can the Thunder Eagle armor be made within the time specified by Rocky, but it is even possible to complete the production task ahead of schedule.
The last is the transformation of the battleship, although it is a little tired and hard, but everyone in the R&D team, including Rocky who went into battle in person, has not complained and been dissatisfied, because everyone is taking this opportunity to further master the runes, so don't look at the process is very hard, but everyone's enthusiasm is full, and the transformation of the battleship is also very smooth, so far more than half of the battleships have completed the transformation.
