Chapter 444: Cloud Explosion
Jiayi and the others did not stay in Elmod for any longer, and after staying for one more day, they got on the ship and set out for the Devil's Sea.
There were two ships in total, one was a cargo ship belonging to the Skoll Chamber of Commerce, and the other was a warship from the kingdom's fleet.
Sauron didn't have the time to keep up with him, but he sent a warship to serve as a chauffeur for the Mahgei, and although they didn't have a lot of ships in Elmod, they didn't seem to have enough of them, and they were constantly in a state of hecticism.
Still, Sauron felt more comfortable sending a ship of his own.
They installed sonar on the warship and then taught the captain how to use it.
The person in charge of the ship is called Lacey, a veteran knight of the seas, a tall and muscular lady, and Kaichi stands by her side like a little chick. Although she is not as talented as Sauron, she is experienced and stable.
Although Sauron is only a young man, he is very safe in doing things.
Otherwise, he would not have become the head of the kingdom's fleet in Elmod this time, although personal force is the mainstream in this world, it does not mean that strong personal strength can lead good troops, these are two aspects.
The so-called sea knight is actually nothing special, but he does not wear armor, but wears leather armor instead, and only moves on the water.
You can't wear armor on a boat, otherwise you will sink to the bottom like a big weighing stone if you accidentally fall into the water.
They sailed very fast, and in a little more than two days, they had reached the outer edge of the Devil's Sea.
Lacey and Marge stood at the bow of the boat, pointed to the sea in front of them, and said to Marge, "Look, there is the Devil's Sea ahead." ”
The Devil's Sea looks nothing special, there are no dark clouds overhead, the atmosphere is oppressive, from a distance, it seems to be a calm sea, except for the waves blown by the wind, and the seagulls flying with the boat, there is nothing else.
"How can you tell the difference? Nothing?" "March was a little curious, there were no markers around, how could it be seen that it was from the Devil's Sea.
Jiayi is actually a little curious, there is no GPS positioning here.
Lacey has a monocular in her hand, although this thing is still very precious, but it is more common among the ships of the major powers. But in many small fleets, a telescope is still a luxury.
At this time, the captain most wanted to configure a monocular, second, to be able to install sonar, and thirdly, to have endless spirits on board.
Lacey handed the binoculars to March, pointed ahead and said, "There's a reef there, a little bit out of the sea, do you look closely?"
Although they didn't bring binoculars, they knew how to look far, they blessed themselves with spells, and looked at the place where Lacey's finger was, and there was indeed a dark reef above the water, but the surface of the water was not high, and it was often hidden in the waves.
"That's the outpost, and after the outpost, we're really in the Devil's Sea. Lacey returned the binoculars to March, carefully retracting a holster.
Then Kaichi and their ship began to signal, adjust course, and slowly follow the edge of the outpost, serial into the Devil's Sea.
The outpost is the reef that is exposed to the sea, although the devil's sea area looks like a calm sea, but the underground terrain is very complicated, many reefs are hidden under the sea, if you are not careful, it is very easy to hit the reef.
And the outpost is a sign that the number of reefs on the bottom of the sea is beginning to increase, and it is because of this that this reef is called an outpost, just like an outpost entering the Devil's Sea.
It is said that a legendary mage once passed by here and went to the bottom of the sea to check, and below this is an active submarine volcano, and these underwater reefs are caused by volcanic eruptions, which is indeed possible, because in the Devil's Sea, there are really active volcanic islands that are smoking.
However, it is impossible to determine whether this is the conclusion reached by the legendary mage who went deep into the bottom of the sea, or whether it is a guess, because the legendary legendary mage has only been active in people's rumors, and has not even left a name.
In fact, there are many such rumors in legends everywhere, some have names, some have no names, but most of those who have names are not known to anyone else, if you want to count the number of legendary mages according to legends, I am afraid that this number will be doubled.
After entering the Devil's Sea, their ship sailed much slower, especially the sonar also increased the frequency of scanning, and any doubts had to be double-checked before passing.
Jiayi and the others also stepped on the skateboard, sometimes using the skateboard to fly close to the water surface and observe, at this time, their magic skateboard became very convenient, much more flexible than Jiayi, who could only levitate.
At this time, they began to slowly deviate from the explored waterway, slowly walking towards remote places, encountering more and more problems, and more and more unrecorded reefs under the surface of the sea.
They passed another reef below the surface, and they came back from above the reef.
March sighed: "No wonder this place is called the Devil's Sea, if we follow a straight line here, I'm afraid we have all hit the reef three or four times, and this is only a long time." Jiayi, didn't you say before you came to upgrade your bombs? Can you blow up these reefs?"
Kaichi looked at March in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to have this brain, but unfortunately, his bomb didn't have this power.
"You think too much, such a powerful bomb is probably comparable to the spell of the purple-robed mage, no matter how much I upgrade, I don't have the legal system to make such a powerful bomb." And it's said that there are volcanic belts down there, so if we accidentally cause a volcano, do you think our ship will run fast enough?"
March, too, knew that she was thinking a little too much, so she asked, "How is your bomb upgraded, I haven't seen you try it?" ”
"It's too big, for the sake of secrecy, but in theory, it must be much more powerful. ”
He has completed the upgrade of his alchemy bomb, but he has not made too many of them, and it is still an experimental model, and he may not know how effective it will be.
He pulled out a basketball-sized ball and showed it to March.
The surface of this thing is densely packed like a durian shell, and there are several warp threads, plus an equatorial line in the middle, which separates the shell, and at the top of the warp thread, there is a gem that shimmers, exuding bursts of spell fluctuations.
This is no longer a simple bomb, but a one-time magic prop made by Jiayi combined with magic, which costs a lot of money, if it weren't for the low price of buying a lot of materials from the Skoll Chamber of Commerce, he may not be willing to make such an alchemy bomb, which is a bit extravagant.
This bomb is divided into three layers, the outermost layer is the shell, which looks like a durian and is all fragments, these fragments are plated with a thin layer of demon-breaking alloy, which has a stronger destructive ability for magic shields, and the warp and weft are densely covered with some small holes, but they are sealed by a thin layer of paper.
Inside the durian shell, there is a special blend of fuel - a special grease, which burns violently and has a high temperature. In the innermost layer, there is the explosive part of the core, which is filled with a large amount of alchemy explosives, and the charge is several times that of the original alchemy bomb.
This bomb has actually been upgraded to a cloud burst bomb, when exploding, the rune circle inside the bomb will first atomize the grease inside the bomb, and diverge to the surroundings through the small holes on the warp and weft, forming a mass of combustible sol that is fully mixed with air, and then the explosion of the explosives inside will ignite this aerosol, producing a high-temperature and high-pressure explosion effect, not only producing a powerful shock wave, but also burning the surrounding air, producing a suffocation effect - of course, this needs to be effective in a narrow space.
Finally, the external durian shell can also produce fragmentation kills, coupled with the effect of breaking the demon metal, theoretically even if the purple-robed mage eats this bomb, he will be disgraced, for the white-robed mage, he already has enough lethality, of course, these are all theoretical, and no white-robed mage is willing to eat his bomb.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too big to use, Jia Yi was going to increase the charge again, but he lacked a launch device, and the charge continued to increase and he couldn't throw it conveniently, and it was easy to hurt himself.
However, he also made a one-off rocket, with only one shot, to have a chance to experiment and see how it worked.
