Chapter 789: Water Background, Striding Towards the Sea of Stars!
Tianyuan Territory can be regarded as a "strange flower" among the territories in the entire New World.
While other territories were busy developing land warfare weapons, their research target was surface ships.
When other territories gave up land warfare weapons and began to turn to individual weapons, their research goal was still water power.
In the eyes of many uninformed territories, Tianyuan Territory seems to be possessed, completely contrary to the mainstream.
Their combat power is entirely focused on defense and water, and they have little thought for foreign aggression and fighting.
Only very few, or perhaps only the top ten territories in the New World know about it.
The New World was surrounded by sea.
It is this power on the water that makes Tianyuan Territory not afraid of any threats or any invasion.
On the contrary, once they move, it will be a real terror to other territories!
Free group residence.
Su Mo changed out of the heavy lab coat he usually wore at work, put on a light sportswear, and walked out of the laboratory slowly.
Putting aside his confusion about the future, he feels quite comfortable now.
From the time I came to Baoyu County in July to September now, more than two months have passed.
In the past two months of continuous efforts day and night, every component of the Daily Armor was completely completed two days ago, leaving only the final integration.
Among them, regarding weapons and energy.
The weapons have been applied for by Feng Tianmin in advance and will be brought with them when the fleet arrives.
The Energy Department applied with the Academy of Sciences, and two energy stone batteries with high purity and considerable weight were specially approved.
Coupled with the individual combat system that Feng Long brought over last time, it has now reached the final debugging stage.
In a day or two at most, the Daily War Armor will be able to declare that the first phase of production is complete!
This speed is much less than the three months previously predicted.
After being liberated from the long experiment, I thought about being able to travel to other parts of the wasteland, see different customs and customs, and collect more information about the relics that have not yet been discovered in the real wasteland.
Even on the way to Tianyuan Port, Sumo felt that his thoughts were much lighter.
"How many of our ships have come this time? Before Feng Long, you were so secretive that you didn't tell me."
As the Neng car drove on the eight-lane road leading to Tianyuan Port, Sumo looked out of the car window and asked.
Tianyuan Port is built in Longgong District.
It was very deserted before, but now it has completely changed into a different look, and vigorous development has begun.
Those overgrown lands have now been occupied by construction teams, who have begun to construct various forms of disaster-proof buildings for different purposes.
The dilapidated road has also been repaired and neatly paved with bricks and stones on the sides, making it look very orderly.
Even the unfinished buildings were bought by wealthy people from other cities and counties in Tianyuan territory and started new development.
According to this pace of development, this place may become the most prosperous place in the new district in time.
"How many ships?" Bao Lei, who was sitting next to Su Mo, smiled: "Mr. Su, can you guess how many ships we will have going out this time?"
"Ten ships?"
Looking at Bao Lei's half-smiling expression, Sumo hesitated, then quickly changed his words: "Fifteen ships?"
If we say that in the battle on land, when the number of people is not enough, we can still use tactics, and there will be a miracle of defeating more with less.
Well, on the water, 99% of the time, the battle is quantity. If you have a small number of ships, you will be beaten!
"Fifteen ships?"
Bao Lei laughed out loud with joy: "Mr. Su, you are looking down on our Tianyuan Territory. What kind of threat can this number of ships pose?"
"Fifteen ships are still few. Back then, Shen Su was able to dominate the world with just one ship, and the foreign races on the sea were bombarded and couldn't hold their heads up." As soon as these words came out, Su Mo's curiosity became even more intense.
"That's God Su. There's only one God Su in this wasteland. What's more, the Hope was no ordinary ship." Bao Lei shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice.
"The Ghost of the Hope back then knows how Su Shen built it when he was so poor. Even with our current industrial level, it is impossible to replicate such a terrifying ship. Magistrate Su may not know something. , even today, the data of that ship is still the top among the top. As long as it is replaced with the new weapons we are currently researching, its combat effectiveness can definitely be as good as ten."
Bao Lei was obviously very emotional about the ship Hope.
His words also succeeded in attracting the attention of other people sitting in the car.
"I heard that the Hope is not an ordinary ship. It is a magical ship that can go into the sea and fly into the sky, just like the Black Pearl." Sun Quan couldn't help gossiping: "It's because of him It can be carried with you, so it was taken away by Su Shen later and disappeared into the wasteland."
"Although it sounds very fantasy that a ship can become larger or smaller, according to the memories of our first generation citizens, it seems to be true." Wang Qian, who was driving a car, also followed suit, corroborating Sun Quan's gossip.
"Then if Su Shen's Hope encounters our current fleet, who can win?"
Sun Quan raised a constructive and controversial topic.
At this time, other people in the car couldn't help it anymore and began to express their opinions.
Some people speculate that the Hope must be unquestionably powerful. It was able to defeat five gods on its own back then, and now it must have no problem defeating ordinary ships.
Some people speculated that the Hope was a ship from the wasteland for a year after all. Even if it was strong, it could only win in a one-on-one battle. Once it came to a group battle, it would definitely be outnumbered.
Su Mo, who was standing by, also understood.
When he selected weapons for the Sun Chaser Armor before, he had carefully read the current weapons overview of the Tianyuan Territory.
Equipment such as missiles, which had been launched in large quantities during World War II, had already been equipped in large quantities.
Although the deterrent power of such missiles was not great without nuclear weapons.
In addition, the accuracy was not high because it could only rely on inertial guidance without satellite guidance.
But for the Hope, which only had one large-caliber gun, it was still a 100% beyond-visual-range strike.
Of course, missiles were not a high threat to large territories.
In the natural strong magnetic shielding environment of the wasteland, medium- and long-range missiles would immediately lose their accuracy when they exceeded the distance even if they were not interfered with by humans.
The launch conditions of short-range missiles are very harsh, and only a few large territories have the conditions.
The reason why the Tianyuan Navy is so threatening is that it can carry short-range missiles around the New World, which is enough to threaten anywhere.
If the two really meet, as the captain of the Hope, Su Mo can only put all his chips on underwater capabilities.
Only by breaking through a certain distance underwater can there be a chance of winning.
"We're here!"
During the heated discussion, Wang Qian, who was driving, exclaimed.
Su Mo subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance.
This Tianhe tributary introduced from the Changlong Xianjiang River is very wide. The distance between the two sides of the river bank alone is more than 70 meters, and the depth is nearly 100 meters.
And to the south of the river bank is the Tianyuan Port, which has been built in its prototype, covering an area of nearly 500 acres. There are many workers lying on the steel frames and working, and crackling welding sounds are heard.
Now on the river surface.
The original emptiness is gone, and now all kinds of ships anchored in the simple port have occupied all the empty spaces.
Thousands of sails are competing, and hundreds of boats are competing for the current.
The first ship that came into view was huge, and at first glance it was not smaller than the Hope at that time.
On it, whether it was the towering warship with a rotating radar or the various protrusions on the densely packed external armor, it was like a steel horse, full of temptation that made people unable to take their eyes away.
Later, a row of nine smaller ships were not inferior to the previous ones. They were neatly arranged on the side of the port like buildings, and the angular design was extremely aggressive.
Further back, there were dozens of densely packed small ships, and people were rushing in and out.
The red and white flags, the blue and black flags, the green and yellow flags, and the big red Hope flag they shared, all became part of the field of vision at this time.
Su Mo looked carefully, and the shock in his eyes became more and more.
"One cruiser, six destroyers, eighteen frigates, and so many frigates, torpedo boats, and missile boats with different functions."
"Wow, this is not a business trip, this is clearly the standard for launching a large-scale battle!"
"County Magistrate Su actually knows these ships?" Bao Lei beside him was a little curious.
"Of course, I am very familiar with them," Su Mo exclaimed sincerely.
Before making the Hope, he had studied the knowledge of maritime ships for a period of time.
From the manufacturing process, to the difficulty of manufacturing, to the advantages and disadvantages of various types of ships, he had learned about them.
No wonder Feng Tianmin dared to make a bold statement before, as long as the three major territories did not take action, the Tianyuan Navy was enough to crush all those who did not obey.
Not counting other things, just this largest cruiser alone is enough to make any territory feel cold in the heart.
Wang Qian drove the energy car forward for a distance and stopped near two temporary lounges.
As soon as he got off the car, Su Mo saw many people in navy blue uniforms sitting in the lounge.
The people inside also saw Su Mo coming down.
Immediately, several people came out to greet him.
The man in the front looked very familiar. When he got closer, Su Mo couldn't help laughing.
As the saying goes, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, he didn't expect to see the highest commander of the Tianyuan Navy eight years later.
It turned out to be
"Hello, County Magistrate Su. It's our first meeting. I didn't expect that heroes come from young people. I have heard of you for a long time!"
"I am Lu Yongyi, the highest commander of the Tianyuan Navy Shuijing Army, and your deputy for this trip."
Eight years later, Lu Yongyi, who is over fifty years old, does not look more vicissitudes than before, but has become more heroic.
He has a sense of gentlemanliness that is unique to older men, coupled with the seriousness of a soldier, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort.
He was stunned when he noticed Su Mo looking him up and down with a familiar and emotional expression on his face:
"Have you seen me before, County Magistrate Su?"
"No, but I feel like we will get along very well," Su Mo replied happily.
"Hmm?" Lu Yongyi was stunned, and then he smiled on his elegant and easy-going face: "It seems to be the same as what Feng Long said, County Magistrate Su's words are really interesting, and he really gives me the feeling of an old friend."
"Old friend" In addition to Lu Yongyi, he looked at the people next to him.
They were not unfamiliar.
They were the captains of the big ships who followed Lu Yongyi at the beginning, and later followed him into the deep sea, Zhang Long, Liu Neng, Kong Yangyu, and Dang Qi
I don’t know what happened back then, but everyone was still able to contact each other without him, and finally gathered together like a miracle.
Lu Yongyi did not go to join the Longqi Territory, but chose to stay in the Tianyuan Territory and become a part of it.
After greeting these people one by one, they began to walk towards the rest hall.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Yongyi couldn't wait to say:
"According to Commander Feng's order, all operations of the fleet this time are completely based on the orders of County Magistrate Su. We are just assisting the normal operation of the fleet."
"It only takes us three days at most to prepare the logistics, and then we can set off and go down the Taichang Longxian River."
"Three days? The time is just right. The merchant ships are preparing to take out some of the goods I want to take out." Sumo nodded slightly. This time, it was not just the fleet traveling with the fleet, but also hundreds of cargo ships that came with temporary signs.
Usually, these ships run along the coastline and conduct some short-distance resource transactions. This time, after opening up the Tianhe River, it was easy to sail to Baoyu County.
"In addition to opening up trade routes this time, Commander Feng should have assigned you other tasks, right?" Sumo asked again.
"Yes, in addition to us cruising Changlong Xianjiang to eliminate some threats, we also have to deal with some previous troubles that could not be solved due to distance this time.
There are several small territories supported by our Tianyuan Territory that are often bullied by neighboring territories. This time we go down to establish our authority. "Lu Yongyi replied.
"It just happened to happen. It's time for the outside world to see our true strength." Sumo nodded in agreement.
Now that I have decided not to keep a low profile, there is no need to be secretive. It is not a bad thing to be completely high-profile.
At the very least, the territory of Changlong Xianjiang can think carefully about the cost of destruction before destroying trade routes.
We talked about this topic for a while, and waited until the meal was served.
Sumo originally wanted to ask about the choice of route for this trip.
"You are making unreasonable demands. Working hours are not cheaper than trading points. I refuse."
Suddenly, there was a faint quarrel outside the noisy lounge.
At first, the sound was very weak, but later it became more and more intense, as if a conflict had broken out.
"I'll go out and take a look."
After catching some key words, Sumo frowned, stood up and walked out of the lounge.
Standing behind the door and looking towards the source of the sound, his face suddenly darkened.
In the temporary trading area planned near the port, a group of murlocs dressed in sky-blue Tianyuan Navy uniforms were surrounding a stall selling barbecue.
The stall was run by a mother and daughter. The mother in front was firmly protecting her daughter behind her, arguing with the fishman.
"What bullshit working hours system? Why can't our fish-human tribe's trading point work in your Baoyu County?"
A strong-looking fish man stood in front of the stall, holding a bamboo stick after eating a skewer in his hand, gesticulating up and down at the mother and daughter.
"That's right, the trading point can be used anywhere. In exchange for the working hours you can only use in Baoyu County, you will make a lot of money."
"Don't be ungrateful. Eating your barbecue is to give you face. Don't you humans just like face?" The surrounding fishmen also laughed.
"Fart, of course we accept the transaction points, but there is no transaction point that can deduct two working hours, so a 50% discount is required." Protecting her daughter behind her, the older mother still argued hard.
However, following the girl's frightened screams, these fishmen not only did not retreat, but became even more excited.
They picked up the half-finished skewers from the barbecue stall without paying first, then put them in their mouths and started chewing them, occasionally spitting out some food residue.
"Where did these fishmen come from?"
Su Mo's face turned cold obviously, and he asked Lu Yongyi coldly as he walked out.
These murlocs are not the obedient murlocs in the White Sand Ruins. They all look like ruffians.
Having been attacked by a fishman before, Sumo already had a lot of prejudices in his heart.
If he hadn't learned from Chen Shen the 'truth' why they were so rebellious, he would have rushed up to them by now.
But even so, even in the territory in the ruins, he could no longer tolerate the existence of such a disobedient fishman in his territory.
If other people can't do it, that's okay.
As the "sea god" of the fish people, Somo's idea from the beginning to the end is to treat the fish people as vassals of human beings and as part of the construction of the territory.
If these fishmen want to ride on the heads of humans and dominate, they want to become a privileged class with just one mistake.
Sorry, he has never shown any mercy to the aliens in the White Sand Ruins or to the aliens in the wasteland!
