Extraordinary Sailing (Extraordinary Voyage)
Chapter 235: Finished test
In this world, giant marine creatures comparable to ships are usually called "sea monsters."
In the general sense, all sea monsters are all extraordinary creatures. The smallest small species are at least 30 meters long, and the large species are generally in meters. You must know that the largest warship made by humans in this era is only 70 meters.
The size of the giant species is usually about 500 meters, which is longer than the seven first-class ships connected end to end.
The sea monster at the top level above them is called the "Son of the Sea God".
Now this large species "Sea Devil" is only 80 meters long in the main body, not to mention that it has dozens of arms and legs more than twice its body length. It is obviously at the peak of the large species, and even has half a foot. Stepped into the ranks of giant species.
As the family members of Echtor, they were full of hatred engraved into the bones of humans. They were caught here by humans for some reason, and now they are driven into desperation by unknown forces. As soon as this large species appeared on the surface of the sea, it went wild and launched a violent charge toward the nearest warship in the north!
"Attention all gun positions, load solid ammunition, prepare... fire!!"
was also on a second-tier battleship. Even though his mouth and nose were full of the smelly sea breeze, the captain still commanded it, calmly and gave the command to fire.
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! ....
Orange-red cannon flames bloomed on the sea, reflecting the sea surface on the port side of the battleship into a bright red.
On the three-layer artillery deck, forty-five artillery guns on one side of the ship fired together, including thirteen terrifying 32-pounders weighing 3.3 tons. The hot artillery shells carried huge kinetic energy and screamed. Smashed at the terrifying "Sea Devil".
At a distance of about 800 meters, there is really no reason for such a large target to shoot into the air.
A large blue blood mist suddenly exploded on the sea monster.
The scorching iron shells easily penetrated into the sea monster’s skin and flesh, some tumbled and stirred inside it, and some broke its tentacles and flew farther to the sea.
was just a volley, and even the charge of a large sea monster was directly interrupted. The number of shells hit more than twenty, and it almost killed its half life.
"Reload!"
The gunner on the battleship gave orders calmly, and the gunners quickly loaded ammunition.
The application of a special gunpowder bag made of tinder cloth wrapped gunpowder ensures that all materials can be completely burned in the barrel, and also greatly accelerates the loading speed of ammunition.
In this way, even with a 32-pound gun weighing 3.3 tons, experienced gunners can guarantee a rate of fire of two rounds per minute, and these small calibers are faster, ensuring the continuity of firepower.
"Fire!"
There is no need for the help of the other three battleships that have slowly surrounded them. After the second round of salvos, the battered "Sea Devil" has completely lost the ability to move.
At this time, the "Sword of Frost White" finally approached the battlefield where the gunpowder had not yet cleared.
Aiwen can also see the whole picture of this large sea monster, at least for so long at sea, Aiwen has never encountered a large species.
But then again, it is a kind of luck not to meet. If you encounter this kind of monster when there is no big brother (such as: Rose Sword Saint) to take care of it, you may have long been unable to return.
It is said that the Treasure Fleet of Hilius has overturned a total of four times on the sea, two of which were due to storms that exceeded the limit, and two were due to encounters with hordes of sea monsters...
As a large species, the "Sea Devil" is obviously much more tenacious than the previous "Mirage Starfish".
嘭! Bang! Bang! ...
Even if it floats on the sea, it has been unable to move, but dozens of thick arms and legs are still instinctively beating the sea surface. Ivan has no doubt that its random blow can destroy a single-masted fishing boat.
However, everyone knows that this battle... is over.
"Sea Devil" is only dying now, and as time goes by, it will naturally completely fall into silence.
At least in the battle on the sea, the large sea monster is really not an opponent of a second-level battleship equipped with the most advanced conventional weapons of mankind.
At the same time, the result of the battle also illustrates the success of "Song of the Sea Monster"!
This time the test task was successfully completed.
As the inventors of "Song of the Sea Monster", Ivan and Anthony couldn't help but clap their hands gently to celebrate the victory of the battleship, and of course the victory of both of them!
"Perfect! Hahaha..."
At this time, the four battleships have reassembled.
Excited, Ivan noticed that the battleship that had guarded the West before turned out to be a first-class ship with only single digits in the entire kingdom—the "Weston Castle", and its main mast was high. Floating the royal flag!
There is no doubt that the most distinguished person at the scene is on this first-class ship.
"Lieutenant Colonel Alvin, Lieutenant Colonel Anthony, please come over here."
While noticing the first-class ship, a voice rang in the ears of two people, even if they did not use the "Violet Eye" ID card, it was as if they were talking beside them.
That was... the voice of the Princeton Headmaster.
The two looked at each other and at the same time heard the source of the sound.
Most of the members of "Violet Eye" have dual identities. They are both the Royal Navy and the secret society "Violet Eye" wizard.
Regardless of which side, Princeton, a former admiral, president of the Royal Naval Academy, and head of association, is a real boss for them!
The big guy called each other, and the two of them didn't care about using the longboat equipped on the warship to slowly row over.
pedal——
Aiwen jumped straight down from the deck, and his army boots galloped on the top of the wave, almost faster than on the ground.
Anthony, the current player, doesn't need Ivan to worry about it. A "water walking ring" has solved everything perfectly.
嗖! Whoosh!
There was not much time wasted, the two had already jumped on the "Weston Castle" one after the other.
"His Royal Highness/Mr. Principal, good day!"
Seeing the crowd headed by a young lady and a white-haired old man on the deck, they salute respectfully.
"Hahaha, look at these two handsome boys, our heroes are here!"
The principal of Princeton is like a generous and kind elder, showing a heartfelt smile to introduce the inventor of the "Song of the Sea Monster" to the "guests" from the capital behind him.
With his current status and strength, he has been able to ignore many complicated etiquettes and only say what he wants to say.
"In the past few years, under the leadership of the principal of Princeton, both the Naval Academy and Violet have come forth in large numbers. It is the pillar of the country like Mr. Principal that has the opportunity for two such outstanding young people to play!"
A tall man headed by the observation team, dressed in elegant clothes and embroidered with an aristocratic coat of arms on his neckline sounded like a bell, complimenting the old principal.
In one sentence, three people have been complimented. Well, this is very noble.
Aiwen glanced at the aristocratic coat of arms embroidered on his body, the blue representing loyalty and truth, the red representing the perseverance and fortitude of soldiers, the white horse ready for the monarch, and the unique sunflower on the right.
For Aiwen, hundreds of people's looks, lives, and strengths and preferences are clearly "remembered". This kind of heraldry, which only requires rote memorization, is naturally not a problem.
Well, the **** royal party of the Hanseatic Marquis family, old bureaucrats.
The old principal smiled, and just listen to the compliments, especially when he was speaking from a great knight-ranked martial arts nobleman.
When the country is in a period of stable rise, most of the contradictions among the various factions can be concealed by real interests. It seems to be a harmonious hello and I am good, but if you believe him, you will be a true fool.
The second person who spoke was an elderly priest wearing a black robe, standing in the position of the church, and speaking with the same high vision and big pattern as before:
"The half-month test plan has been completed. We can all see the effect of the "Song of the Sea Monster", and the pace of navigating the unknown areas of the ocean can be appropriately accelerated.
Clear the obstacles, the development of human navigation will surely take a big step forward! The glory of the goddess will also spread to more distant places! "
This is no one else. It was the old Bishop Benedit of Newin Cathedral who had worked with the principal of Princeton to kill the old bishop of Newin Cathedral when the evil **** Percell came.
However, now because of the strong support of local forces (headed by the royal family) and the "Iron Wall Knights" team he sent successfully rescued the clergy and part of the people in the "Beluga Harbor", it is an official rare occurrence in the entire massacre. The dazzling performance.
Coupled with his decades of hard work~lightnovelpub.net~ This old bishop will soon be the bishop of Falitis.
Before leaving "Newin Harbor", he came here as a representative of the Goddess Church to verify the effectiveness of the new "Alchemy Apparatus".
It is also an invitation from the Kingdom to the church.
It’s not that the senior officials in the kingdom have no sense of secrecy. Unlike the previous “Scurvy Practical Prevention and Control Program”, the most sophisticated alchemy tool of “Song of the Sea Monster” has a higher technical content, and others cannot discover the secrets by looking at it.
This significant invention can be used as a monopolistic military product, produced by the secret kingdom of Falatis, with various security measures added, and then sold to allies in the form of arms procurement.
The more credible church is the best middleman!
The high-levels of the kingdom don’t care whether the goddess can benefit from a more vigorous sailing career and gain stronger power, because the result of infinity plus one hundred plus one thousand is still infinity. The church is the church and the goddess is the goddess, and they are more concerned about their secular interests.
Unknown ocean exploration has always been a high-risk activity. Even if you have a new weapon like "Song of the Siren," it is impossible to immediately change the ocean exploration progress by leaps and bounds.
But.
The higher security after going to sea is enough to make the military of various countries generously donate it.
They have already seen that rich returns that are more stable than ocean exploration are already beckoning to the kingdom...
