Chapter 177 The Appearance of the New Battleship

The Dawn and Eternal have reached a verbal alliance agreement. Cleo promises to do everything in his power to help Ethan get whatever he wants on the island, but this promise is limited to him personally, and he will not use his own The crew came to joke.

His statement will make his crew more loyal, and several sailors who were rescued by Ethan also immediately stated that they would do their best to help Ethan together with their captain, in order to report that Ethan rescued them from the island. kindness.

Ethan didn't open his mouth to refuse. It's actually a good thing that the other party is willing to use this to repay the favor. Besides, he wouldn't really let the other party be cannon fodder to help him open a right path. Now he just needs some labor from the Eternal. .

"I don't know exactly what's on the island, but I think it's enough for our two ships."

Before returning to his boat, Ethan finally gave a piece of advice: "By the way, the water on this island is a little weird, and it's best not to use it...especially drinking it until it's really clear."

Cleo nodded to indicate that he knew. He was not going to let any crew leave the Eternal. Anyway, there were still plenty of supplies on the ship, and for adventurers of their level, drinking water was the easiest problem to solve—if a little bit Larger ships will be equipped with water purification devices, which are directly extracted from the sea to produce clean water for the crew to use.

After reminding Cleo, Ethan flew back to his Dawn, but he didn't walk back from the coast because he wasn't sure if he would be attacked after setting foot on the island.

So far, he has only gone deep into the island before slowly starting to be attacked, but the previous test has made him realize that the energy of this island will mobilize energy to attack a certain target according to the situation, and he is not sure whether he has been attacked. This power has its sights set on.

After landing on the deck of the Dawn, Ethan repeated Cleo's promise to Logan and Diana.

Diana didn't say anything, and Logan thought more.

"Can you believe what this person says?"

"No." Ethan is not a naive person. He will not trust a stranger without a word: "But the other party has expressed kindness. Before doing anything to threaten us, he can be treated as an ally."

This means that cooperation is possible, but sufficient vigilance must be maintained. With a smile on the surface, stabbing a knife in the back is not something that is hard to see. In this world, there are no formal laws and regulations. The key factor that determines a person's behavior is the person's moral level.

Under such circumstances, this world has maintained a considerable degree of order, and it has not become a completely chaotic world, which is very unusual.

"Anyway, let's take a normal rest for a night. The other party has just arrived here and encountered setbacks. It is estimated that we need to slow down for a while. We will officially explore the interior of the island until tomorrow."

Ethan and the others have long been prepared, but now they have to cooperate with the Eternal, and they need to take care of this ally. What's more, Diana also needs some time to learn some "basic knowledge", and exploring tomorrow is also in line with Ethan's needs.

So the day was spent in various discussions.

Diana has a more detailed understanding of the world, and also has a more understanding of human nature, these things Ethan did not tell her before, because at that time Diana would make everything better Thinking, and telling her that human nature is sinister, she can hardly hear it.

After experiencing a lot of things first-hand, Diana began to accept this theory and realized that the world was not as beautiful as she thought, and Diana was a little bit shocked. Fortunately, with Ethan's suggestion before, there was not much fluctuation in general, and I gradually accepted a more "real" world.

This is something she has to understand. Considering that she will definitely return to her own world in the future, she will see more and worse things when she lives alone. At that time, there was no one to enlighten her.

In the original plot, after living in human society for decades, Diana almost lost confidence in human beings for a long time, and began to turn to the neutral camp to watch everything quietly. lurking among humans.

In the final analysis, the worldview has been impacted. Now that she can accept all this better, maybe Wonder Woman will be active for a long time.

There might be some more interesting changes that way, but Ethan's energy isn't on the matter right now, or even on the island he's about to explore.

He took out the stealth suit he got from the assassin, spread it out on his test bench, and introduced the general capabilities of the suit to Logan and Diana in detail.

"It looks like it's made of some special polymer material..."

This is like a set of tights with protective parts such as breastplates, arm guards, greaves, etc. It does not look very big, and it seems that only very thin people can wear it. Logan tried it and found that even his body can easily put on this equipment.

"Are you sure you didn't bring it back from some high-tech world?"

Diana couldn't see anything, but Logan felt that the appearance of this thing was full of futuristic aura. Although there were magical things such as magic stones in this world, the equipment in front of him seemed to be more than just a matter of magic.

"The assassin came back here from the next sea area."

Ethan didn't know much about this sea area, especially this suicide route, so he didn't find anything wrong. But thinking about it now, although the boat that the assassin drove could dive underwater, other than that, there was nothing special about that boat, and it was no big deal compared to his own.

At that time, he didn't realize that something was wrong, and it was only now that he thought about it, he realized that it was abnormal.

This route is far more dangerous than imagined, even if he drives from the other direction to the central island, the more dangerous it is, the less dangerous there is, there is something wrong.

"That guy's boat is too common... Usually, there are such boats everywhere in this sea area. That boat should only be used to disguise his identity."

Ethan, who wanted to understand this, understood that the suit in front of him represented the strength of the next sea area, and he began to speculate on the general situation of the next area based on this thing.

"Although I'm not sure if this thing is a piece of public equipment, but even if it is regarded as high-end equipment that some people can have, it means that most adventurers have similar low-end alternatives."

Cleo's equipment can prove this. He doesn't think that what Cleo has, is a rare thing in the next sea area.

"So... what does the next sea area look like?"

"Maybe sailboats will be eliminated altogether."

Ethan believed that it was impossible for a purely wooden sailboat to reach the end of this route, and even if it barely reached the latter part, it would be in great danger.

On the central island, he has seen some ships with metal skins and propellers made of magic stone technology. Although he has not seen ships with real all-metal structures, this tendency is already obvious.

"You have to decide as quickly as possible what a new ship should be."

Logan's words are very reasonable. Before, Ethan wanted to design his new ship according to the situation on this route, but now it seems that the previous plan is still too conservative. He can't always be passive according to the environment. Adjusting his boats, he doesn't know how many times to change boats that way.

"Although there are many problems, this time a good boat has to be replaced."

The all-metal structure is already a matter of suspense, even if it takes a year or two to build him, he can wait.

The displacement is not yet determined, and the specific structure of the ship has not been determined. It is certain that he needs to integrate all his technologies into this new ship.

"What is certain is that the new ship will definitely be a warship."

In such a world, you can't build a yacht, can you? Taking into account the possible conflict at sea, warships are almost inevitable.

"Although the inside is another matter entirely, we can discuss what kind of appearance should we choose?"

The few people present are energetic people, and even if they don't sleep, it will not affect their actions the next day. After discussing for a while, the topic unknowingly deviates.

From worrying about what kind of battleship should be built in the next sea area, to what kind of appearance should be chosen to be more in line with the aesthetics of several people.

"A battleship?"

Diana's impression of warships is still in the era of sailing, so she has no suggestions, but Logan has a lot of feelings for some weapons of World War I and World War II.

"Is the tonnage too large?"

"From the current point of view, it may not be a bad thing to have a larger tonnage." Before he thought it was enough to build a 10,000-ton-level steel battleship, but looking at the suit on the table, it might be bigger and stronger. Some are insured.

"How about the Iowa class?"

Considering the survivability at sea and the combat effectiveness of a single ship, the battleship is the first choice. The Iowa class should be the last battleship, and it is also the battleship that Rogan is most familiar with.

Ethan touched his chin and recalled the shape of the Iowa-class in his impressions, which was generally in line with his aesthetic, although he personally preferred the USS Hood and Bismarck-class battleships.

Of course, no matter which one you choose, in fact, only the appearance is the same or even similar, and the core is completely different. Tony Stark's black technology aside, there is definitely a more powerful magic stone technology and a magic circle that Ethan will definitely arrange.

"A battleship that emits energy beams and has an energy shield... I feel like I've seen it somewhere..."
