The Darkstar left contentedly after pouring out its ammunition, and in the attack, the Void creatures fell to the beachhead, and the sea and the beach were littered with corpses, and their blood stained the sea purple and black—a Shura hell alive.

The fires raging across the island, making it the only beacon in the dead sea, and the feast of the void creatures on the island continues.

In the darkness of the night, the muzzles of the nine main guns of the Dark Star were still scorching, and the rotating mechanism was returning the guns to their positions. The huge propeller propelled the nearly 70,000-ton hull towards the ship.

Vikz floated out of the pool again, a purple one-eyed lens turning its head quickly, it was analyzing the Dark Star to find a way to deal with it.

It thought of the bottom of a ship returning from a long voyage.

Marine organisms living in shallow waters, such as diatoms, barnacles, oysters, mussels, etc., all have the characteristic of attaching to other things, some of them will attach to reefs in shallow waters, some will attach to marine animals (such as whales, turtles, etc.), and the huge bottom of the boat under the water has naturally become a good place for them.

The longer a ship is at sea, the more marine non-destructive organisms will cling to the bottom of the ship. The situation is even worse if there is more life in the shallow waters of some seas. Seafarers on ocean-going ships have a joke: "The bottom of the ship is like a large seafood market, and you can choose from any variety of species."

These marine creatures attached to the bottom of the ship are one of the three major scourges to the ship. It will destroy the hydrodynamic structure of the hull, resulting in an increase in drag and a decrease in speed when sailing.

In many cases, a ship can reach a speed of more than 20 knots (1 knot = 1 knot/h = 1.852 km/h = 0.514444 m/s). However, after a period of ocean sailing, the speed will decrease to varying degrees, and the main culprit is the creatures attached to the bottom of the ship.

Vikz gave an order that allowed the Void Fish to begin a new siege of the Darkstar.

Sensing the order, the Void Fish went mad, and at the risk of being crushed by the wake that swept into the propeller, they rushed from behind to the Darkstar, which was heading at full speed at 27 knots, biting the hull with their teeth.

Although the Void Fish's teeth are not enough to break the bottom of the Darkstar, it has a 3-layer bottom. At the same time, in order to improve the sinking resistance, the whole ship was divided into 1,147 watertight compartments. Vital parts such as the ammunition compartment, the main engine, and the boiler compartment are all protected by heavy armor belts. The thickness of the main armor belt at the waterline at its upper end was up to 410 mm.

But the Void Fish's teeth were able to hold them firmly to them like hooks. Soon, the bottom of the Dark Star was occupied by schools of large and small Void Fish, and more Void Fish bit the tails and fins of their companions one after another. Slowly, a purple fluorescent carpet appeared beneath the Dark Star, which was sailing under the moonlit night.

The speed began to drop.

Verse 26.

25 verses.

………………

The speed stopped when it descended to twenty-four knots.

The main engine of the Dark Star in surface ship mode has 12 boilers and 4 steam turbines, with an output of 153,000 horsepower and more than 6,000 tons of fuel in the oil storage tank.

A small school of Void Fish, a few kilograms of small fish, dozens of kilograms of large fish, and 100,000 Void Fish are needed to reach the amount of oil—how can there be so many schools of fish in a sea area?

At this moment, the school of fish attached to the bottom of the Dark Star was dying, that is, hundreds of tons, and all they could do was destroy the hydrodynamic structure.

"What the hell are they trying to do?" The two of them were puzzled, what the void creatures did seemed so ridiculous to them, like a man trying to hold back an elephant.

The Darkstar's speed had only dropped slightly, and for this not-so-distant voyage, it would have been a few hours late at most, and it was impossible to keep them on the way.

Blue Ice walked to the deck and sneered at the Void Fish that gathered below the waterline, the freezing ability was already ready to be used, and after freezing the Void creatures into ice, they would naturally fall off the Dark Star,

"Something is wrong......" Lan Yu stopped her, the purpose of the Void Fish was probably not so simple.

Then, they understood what the Void Fish was trying to do.

After the Darkstar's speed slowed down, a large number of Void Fish rushed towards the Darkstar's propellers, purple phantoms appearing in the bubbles of the wake.

The moment they rushed into the propeller, the powerful propeller mercilessly shattered their bodies, and the chitin carapace was not as hard as the high-strength alloy.

The void creatures were not afraid of death, and rushed into the propeller without reluctance, not taking their lives seriously at all, but how could the propeller weighing hundreds of tons be shaken by flesh and blood, even if this flesh and blood body was blessed by the void energy.

It seems that the Void is trying to destroy the ship's propellers.

Blue Feather shook his head helplessly, it seemed that Vikz didn't know the gold content of the propeller. True, there was a possibility that the propellers and even the rudders of the battleships could be destroyed.

This is how the historical battleship Bismarck died, the key torpedo hit the stern of the battleship, stuck the rudder at a left angle of 12 degrees, and caused the "Bismarck" to be helplessly circled in a counterclockwise direction on the surface of the sea. The rudder was stuck and couldn't move at all.

It is a torpedo that can destroy the rudder! A torpedo with a charge of several hundred kilograms, exploding on a street is capable of destroying a torpedo of an entire street, not fish!

As Blue Feather had expected, the Void's actions were completely futile, no matter how suicidal they hit the bottom of the ship, they just couldn't destroy it, not even a single piece of metal fell off it.

Think about it, the blue whale weighing tens of tons is hit by the propeller of the large main fleet and has no good end, either the spine is cut off alive or the tail disappears completely, these are only dozens of kilograms, not as good as the blue whale's thousandth of the void fish can be used.

Vikz, who was behind the scenes, understood that attacking the propeller was futile and would only kill the Void Fish senselessly, so he ordered the attack to stop.

It mistakenly used its experience against wooden ships against a steel battleship, and it could only turn out that way.

Eventually, the Darkstar was gone, leaving only the Void Fish stalking and watching at the stern.

Vikz still has two tricks left unused - summoning flying void units for an air strike. Or throw yourself into the Void with all the Void fish that can be mustered along the coast of the Acacia Peninsula.

The Void Eye fell into deep thought............
