Chapter 103: The Warship - Ria
Chapter 103 Ship - Riya
"How can you be sure that they belong to the occult organization?" Tucker wondered, after all, it might be the thieves who happened to get their hands on the map. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"There is no coincidence, the source of that map is very unusual. Mo Xunyun shook his head, denying Tucker's doubts.
"Leave that aside for now, maybe it will be of some use to us. Horst said, he kept guessing about some things in his mind, and found that these things didn't seem to be as complicated as he thought, but they weren't very simple.
Everyone fell silent and decided not to pursue this strange matter, after all, their main task now is to travel to the continent, and they don't want to let the strange thing at the beginning interfere with them.
Half a month later, at a pier outside Haixin City, a huge sea ship was displayed in front of everyone.
On the sea boat, there are no sails, and at first glance it looks a little strange compared to the surrounding boats.
Moreover, on the deck of the sea ship on both sides of the side of the ship SH, a total of ten large crossbows were arranged. If you look at it from the military, you must think that this is a warship fighting across the sea, but this is not the case.
"All the mechanics were installed according to your requirements, and they were tested and worked very well. So, the drawings about the steam engine ...... "The craftsman walked beside Horst, and he was a little bit of a stopper."
Seeing this, Horst didn't say anything, but led everyone to board the SH ship, which should now be called a warship, after all, except that there were no sails, it was indeed the appearance of a warship.
"Look at what you think. Horst stepped onto the deck and pointed to the big crossbows arranged around him and said, these big crossbows are worth a lot of money, and the city defense of Sea City is a lion with a big mouth. After all, these crossbows are all weapons to protect the city, and they will not be easily sold to outsiders.
"The ship is good, and it is very suitable for going out to sea to hunt biglodons. ”
"In this way, after the hunt is completed, you can sail directly to the orc continent. Powered by steam, it's still fast. ”
"Yes, the test turned out to be much better than I expected, and I thought something was going to happen. ”
The actual renovation of the SH ship was completed a few days ago, and a series of tests were carried out to prevent accidents during the voyage. Horst asked Sattar and the others to come and watch, but he did not come.
The crowd talked a lot more on the deck, and then Horst turned to look at the craftsman and said, "I'll give you the drawings of the steam engine, and of course I still have to pay for the cost of renovating the ship." It was only a deposit that was paid before, and there was still a large amount of money that had not been paid off. ”
Although Horst has a dark belly, he will never take advantage of other people's property, especially these toiling craftsmen. They are mages, but elemental mages are not summoners. Summoning mages can easily obtain large sums of wealth, and elemental mages can only gain more wealth unless they are engaged in the medical profession or become high-level craftsmen.
Most of the elemental mages engaged in the medical profession are engaged in the development and research of drugs, synthesizing some inorganic types of medicines from the elements, and using them for the benefit of ordinary people.
With that, Horst took out a large bag of gold coins from his backpack and handed it to the craftsman.
"It's both a reward and a thank you. Horst knew that if it weren't for the craftsmen, the ship's transformation would have been delayed for a long time.
"Thank you. The craftsman couldn't help but thank him continuously, he knew the meaning of the steam engine drawing, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him didn't care so much. Not only gave the drawings of the steam engine to himself, but also gave himself a large fortune.
For some craftsmen, studying mechanics is completely different from magical equipment. Magical equipment can be sold to earn a lot of money, although it costs a certain amount of magic energy stones, but the blueprints of magical equipment are ready-made, and extremely simple.
Mechanics are different, they require certain physical principles to support them, and their construction is far more complicated than magical equipment. It is precisely because of the complexity that the craftsman needs to spend more effort on the mechanical mechanism.
Although each craftsman has his own characteristics, there is also the same characteristic outside of these characteristics, that is, the exploration of the unknown, the love and curiosity of unknown mechanisms.
Taking a large bag of gold coins from Horst's hand, the craftsman thanked him and left.
Horst walked to the end of the deck, and the endless sea appeared in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something in the depths of his eyes.
In the offshore area, the sails are moving, the fishing boats are busy coming and going, and the smell of the sea enters the nose of everyone with the sea breeze.
"Nature is the most wonderful, I really wish this moment would stay for a long time. Molia sighed, "The sea under the sunset is the most beautiful." ”
"Horst, do you think we should have a name for this ship?" Dennis also looked at the sea, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, let's call it the Ria." ”
"Well, it's called the Leah. Horst agreed, in fact, he had already had such an idea in his heart, but it was too late to say it.
"Leah, it seems that our Molia is very popular with everyone. Mo Xunyun touched Molya's head, and Moliya immediately flushed, but hid behind Horst.
Horst smiled, "Don't worry, Molia belongs to me alone. This Leah belongs to everyone. ”
"Hmm. The crowd laughed, and said nothing.
"Prepare your supplies, the voyage won't be long, but we still have to be well prepared. In particular, crossbow arrows need to be purchased from the Craftsman's Shop. Oops, I forgot. Horst slapped his head suddenly, saying that he shouldn't forget about it, "Sattar will leave it to you." ”
"Well, I'll take care of the arrows. "Sattar knew that if he sailed all the way, he would definitely encounter more demonic beasts.
Sea monsters are different from the monsters on land, they have the advantage of the sea, and will often lurk in the sea to ambush. But they are also vulnerable, albeit powerful enough to destruct. Heaven is fair to everyone, and even every species. It gives great destructive power, and what is sacrificed is its own defense.
Just like human beings, they have the wisdom of genius and the creativity of extremely powerful, but human beings do not live long. In some places, even babies can die, with a maximum lifespan of less than 100 years.
This is the rule of the world, the rule of the jungle, the survival of the fittest.
I don't know how many years have been going back to the human race, and human beings have been exploring longevity or immortality, which was the case in Khorst's previous life, and it is also the case in this world.
Therefore, in the mage civilization, there are people who study it. So much so that the spiritual mage, when studying the soul, failed, and mutated spirit pets and other things appeared.
It wasn't until noon that everyone had loaded all the supplies onto the Ria that they decided to set off immediately.
Before that, Horst reported to the Summoning Mage Guild in Seaheart City, after all, they were still students of the First Mage Academy.
"Let's go!" With Horst's order, Tucker, Dennis, and Sattar immediately gathered methane gas in the power room of the ship and filled it into the combustion furnace. Combustion furnaces rely on the combustion of methane gas to generate heat, whereas in previous generations steam engines were burned by coal.
The structure of the steam engine is simple, and the heat is transferred quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the sound of liquid boiling is heard in the huge boiler, and the high-pressure steam flows rapidly, driving the piston to do reciprocating motion. One end of the piston is connected to various types of gears, and the power transmitted by the gears actuates the propellers of the sea vessels.
Suddenly, the huge hull of the sea ship gradually moved away from the dock.
Everyone walked out of the power compartment and came to the deck, where they were moved to see Horst dressed in an army uniform.
"Do you really think you want to be a soldier who fights the sea?"
"That's right, tomorrow morning, I'm going to lead you to the sea. Horst said, of course, hunting biglodons.
"Don't fill the power compartment with too much fuel, reduce the sailing speed. Time calculations, we must arrive in that triangle after tomorrow morning, before noon. Horst unfolded the map, spread it on the deck, and pointed to a triangular area, "After we arrived in this area, we are now anchored on the nearby islands for a while. ”
"The direction of the compass must be well grasped. Mo Xunyun continued, "Now because of the big tooth whale, once we anchor at sea, we will not be able to be effectively rescued. ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, no one wanted to be buried ******, that would be a dead body. Sea Demon Beasts are much more ferocious than Land Demon Beasts, and the vast majority of Sea Demon Beasts are predatory Demon Beasts. The so-called predatory monsters, in layman's terms, are carnivorous beasts.
"From this leg of the route to this stretch of the route, which is about our afternoon journey, Shirley and Tucker you are in charge of observing the deck, and if anything strange happens, you have to tell me. Horst arranged the task, "Leah, and Brother Mo and I stayed up in the middle of the night. Dennis, you and Sattar keep watch for half the night, Nightingale, you need to keep watch. ”
"Okay. This time it was the nightingale who answered, and when Horst shared the task on weekdays, the nightingale would always have nothing to do, not that Horst was partial, but he really felt that the nightingale could not arrange it. After all, no one seems to want to partner with such a glamorous assassin, but she does belong to this team.
"Forget it, Nightingale, you better come with us. In the first half of the night, the sea monster infestation was relatively ordinary, and it was still safe to have one more manpower. Horst thought about it for a while, and then felt that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words.
"Everyone, get ready. The steam engine runs itself, and methane gas is added every four hours. Horst waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go about their business, "In the evening, you can catch some sea fish for dinner." Life on the sea has only officially begun today. ”
