Chapter 214: The First Battleship of the Winter Navy
The docks in Winter Town have been built, but none of the boats are docked there.
In addition to the absence of shipyards, the key factor is the absence of this demand.
As for the designers and workers who built ships, there were some of them in this winter town, the more than four hundred craftsmen from Azeroth.
If David hadn't had Fording run to the Brotherhood of Defia to get involved, Van Cleef would have mobilized the Brotherhood's craftsmen to build a supership with incredible firepower, and the mission of this ship would be to destroy Stormwind once and for all.
Even such powerful warships can be designed and built, and the shipbuilding skills of the craftsmen are unquestionable, but Winter Town still hasn't started building ships because no one uses them.
There are more and more people living in Winter Town, but these people who have been recruited from the Northern Plains are all aiming to get land!
Of the few people who were poached from other worlds, only James Norrington was from the Orthodox Navy.
Further down the line, you have to count Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan.
Even so, there are only three of them.
"So, your task is daunting." David patted James Norrington's shoulder, whose face had changed several times, "You're going to build a navy from scratch."
As for the ships, this problem is easy to solve.
Even if the wooden sail battleship built by the craftsmen Davy is not worth it, you can go to the world of Transformers, the Marvel Universe or Lara, and get some modern and modern warship technology, with the current situation in Winter Town, a small ship is enough.
"I wonder which Transformer can turn into a ship?"
Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be a Transformer in the movie version that can turn into a battleship? Looks like it's in the setting? In the fifth part, there seems to be a submarine that is a Transformer, but it has not been transformed.
As for the animation, he only thinks of the waves that can turn into hovercraft, and the three-change King Kong platoon gun (gunwald) that is afraid of water and heights, but turns into an aircraft carrier and a fighter.
"I may need to discuss the issue of the battleship with the others before I can give you an affirmative answer." David looked at Norrington in front of him, and the former commodore did not show any dissatisfaction because the situation he was facing was very bad: "But you can start the preliminary preparations for the recruitment and training of soldiers."
Including how many people to recruit? What kind of training is to be done? What equipment is needed? Resource? These things need to be sorted out by James Norrington and then reported to David, and then it is up to the Lord to decide whether to fully support or increase the amount of support?
"I'll hand over the report to you as soon as possible."
"Hmm!" David nodded, and officially appointed James Norrington as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy in Winterfell.
As for the rank or something, he hasn't gotten it yet, so let's talk about it later!
Seeing James Norrington ready to start making plans energetically, David just said goodbye and left.
Originally, he wanted to go to Tony Stark, but after thinking about it, he went to find Optimus Prime.
"Turned into a battleship?" Optimus Prime has a bit of a headache, the Autobots are called Autobots because most of their vehicles are in the form of "cars", whether they are airplanes or ships, which are not common in the Autobot camp.
"Battleship? I can change!"
"Huh?"
David followed the sound and looked over, only to notice a Blackbird fighter plane parked next to him.
This is Skyfire, and he is also one of the Autobots who have moved to Winter Town.
Unlike the case of the two mini-King Kongs, the Wheel and the Little Brain Melon, Skyfire itself is a very powerful Transformer, and it is also one of the oldest Transformers.
The long years had rusted his body and weakened his fire, where he had been asleep for a long time before Optimus Prime found him from the museum.
When Optimus Prime found Skyfire, it was to find the leadership module, and only this ancient Transformer knew where the leadership module was hidden - although there was a reminder from David, Optimus Prime still didn't bypass Skyfire when they followed the clues.
Eventually
The pillar successfully found the leader module and also the stellar energy harvester.
The machine had been dismantled by Optimus Prime, and the leadership module was carried by Optimus Prime with him. As for Tianhuo, because he was too old, he was not treated as a combatant by Optimus Prime, but arranged to come to Winter Town to "retire" like Mini King Kong.
Originally, David saw Tianhuo come to Winter Town to retire, but he felt that Optimus Prime missed the opportunity to upgrade to Tianhuo Optimus Prime.
Unexpectedly, there were unexpected surprises waiting for me.
"Can you turn into a battleship?"
"Of course, I've been transformed into a destroyer." The black Blackbird made a series of tooth-souring sounds, and Skyfire used his own hands to make some extra assists before he completed his transformation: "Just give me a suitable warship for me to scan, then I can still turn into a warship."
Tianhuo was very confident, but his body movements made this confidence seem unconvincing.
After shaking it twice, Tianhuo sat on the ground.
Fortunately, the ground has been specially reinforced, so that the tall and elderly Transformer does not sit in a pit.
"I may need some energy to do this."
Tianhuo is not only old and old, but more importantly, his fire has become very weak, Optimus Prime sent Tianhuo, and he didn't want to ask David to use that magical holy light to replenish some energy for Tianhuo.
He doesn't expect Tianhuo to return to the peak of combat power and become the most important combat power of the Autobots, as long as this well-informed old King Kong can pass on the rich knowledge stored in his brain, it will be a great wealth for the Autobots.
"It's just energy, it's easy to do!"
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think, young human." Tianhuo looked at David, and he could see that the human body in front of him contained a very terrifying and huge amount of energy.
Although he didn't understand how a human could "store" such a large amount of energy, he knew how weak he was at the moment, and it would take more energy for him to recover than it would take to restore a Cybertron in the prime of life.
"I need very, very large amounts of energy."
"It's not a problem."
David didn't know if he had enough power at the moment, but even if he didn't have enough power at the moment, he could take Skyfire to the world of Azeroth.
He knew that place very well, and in that world he could easily mobilize very terrifying energy!
Not to mention one Tianhuo, he can handle two more!
"Oh? I'm looking forward to it."
David didn't waste time choosing any auspicious day for the zodiac, and immediately transformed into Cybertron form in front of the heavenly fire, and released the Tomcat fighter to complete the merger transformation.
This Cybertron's body can withstand even more violent energy output, and Davy can release Holy Light beyond the output limit in this state.
Seeing Davy's transformation in front of him, Tianhuo also showed a little surprise: "Oh? A hermit warrior plus a leader warrior, or a supreme?"
David didn't answer, he raised his hand and directly released a holy light, the golden pillar of light connected himself to Tianhuo, and as the energy continued to pour in, Tianhuo felt that his body seemed to be rejuvenated.
"Oh, that feeling...... That's great!"
It was as if endless energy poured into his fire, making his fire so faint that it could be extinguished at any time become dazzling again.
The activity of the fire has led to a series of changes in the body of Tianhuo, and the rust and scars on it are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The original feeling of powerlessness gradually disappeared, and Tianhuo not only stood up again, but even held his head high and no longer bent over.
The part of his hand that served as a crutch was also returned to his body, and he felt that he no longer needed crutches.
Although there are no mirrors, as a Transformer, he can clearly "see" all kinds of things on his body, and he finds that his face is beginning to become younger.
"Is this the Light? It's simply a star
Such a great power!"
As the golden pillar of light dissipated, a brand-new Skyfire stood beside Optimus Prime.
He clenched his fists, a feeling of power that made him think that he had been reborn back in Cybertron's most glorious years, when he was at his strongest.
Seeing that Tianhuo had recovered to its peak, David was secretly complaining: it was really not easy to restore an ancient King Kong who had reached the end of his life to his peak.
Almost all the power in his body was squeezed out, but fortunately it was not lost permanently, and it took time to recover.
However, next time this happens, let's go to Azeroth! At most, being scolded by that guy is not a big deal!
"Do you have any special requirements for a battleship?"
Tianhuo walked around a few times, and even activated the full-power energy shield, and after making sure that he was really back to his peak state, he asked David what ship he wanted to become.
Even if it is to repay the new life given to him by the other party, Tianhuo will have to live in Winter Town for a long time in the future.
"A warship that can anchor on the Winter River and move freely on the river."
"I see."
Next, Skyfire will follow Optimus Prime back to Earth in his world to find a ship of the right "size" to scan, and then become the first ship of the Winter Navy.
It can barely be regarded as solving the problem of building the surface combat power of Winter Town from scratch, and before the navy is established, it has enough surface combat power.
After a few more words of goodbye to Optimus Prime, David arrived at Stark Manor.
It's much livelier here than Optimus Prime, and the Avengers members and their families have stayed in Wintertown and haven't left.
Pepper Pepper Pepper and Jane Foster, led by Peggy and Sharon, are wandering around Wintertown, a otherworldly town with fresh air and beautiful scenery.
The men gathered scattered to gossip, and after David greeted everyone, he went straight to Tony Stark.
"Tony, would you like to open a shipyard here in Winter?"
