Chapter 71 Dragon Boat Battleship

It was already the end of July when Lorraine Hill returned to the Xiangyu faction.

At this time, the weather was hot, and the cicadas were constantly singing outside the window, but there was a clear spring flowing through the hall on the top of the mountain. It flowed along the ditches in the hall, merged into the pool in the middle, and then drained from the ground to the forest water stream halfway up the mountain.

The cool water vapor dispelled the heat in the air, and even the summer wind blowing in from the outside became much more comfortable. At this moment, Lorraine Hill was sitting on the wide wooden chair in the center, taking a nap.

It is said to be a wooden chair, but the material used is very rare, it is yellow toon wood produced in the secret area of ​​the Xiangyu School, the wood is thick and dense, heavier than gold and iron, the corners of the wooden chair are polished delicately, and the back of the chair is also carved with flower decorations. But the most striking thing is not the wooden chair the girl is sitting on, but the light yellow wooden wall behind her.

The entire wall seems to be cut from a huge piece of wood. It is incomparably complete, and its color is like snow, with a faint soft yellow in it. On this wooden wall, a phoenix is ​​painted and engraved. Its feathers are like bright yellow leaves, delicate and clear in texture.

The head with closed eyes leaned on the back of the chair. As the girl breathed, her chest slowly rose and fell, and the eyelashes on her eyes changed slightly. The long black hair was combed straight and fell on the chest and behind. A few strands were bent due to the folds of the clothes, separated from the crowd, and scattered playfully on one side.

In the morning, Lorraine Hill discussed a lot of things with the members of the Xiangyu Sect in this hall. After the discussion, she felt a little sleepy, so she wanted to sit for a while and wait for everyone to leave before going back to rest. But she didn't want to sit down and fell asleep in the hall.

Seeing the girl's cute sleeping posture, the few people who stayed behind were unwilling to wake her up. They just stood by the door of the main hall and waited to prevent others from suddenly coming in and waking her up. In this way, Lorraine Hill slept through noon until now.

The sun was shining outside the main hall, and cicadas were chirping cheerfully in the shade of leaves. Occasionally, a few soon-ripe yellow fruits emerged from the green leaves, hanging on the treetops and swaying in the wind.

Maybe it was because she slept for a long time, Lorraine Hill's head slowly slid down from the back of the chair leaning on the side, and after a pause, she suddenly woke up from the dream.

"This is..." The memory in my mind has not yet fully recovered, and I only vaguely remember the scene in my dream just now.

In her dream, she seems to be living in a technologically advanced world, where the society is very peaceful. She is still in high school, and there are several familiar classmates and friends in her class, including her deskmate Keti, Sifner who sits in the front row and can play the piano and sing, the cold literary girl Brunnard in the back corner, teacher Trinasha, the head teacher, and some familiar and vague names, but unfortunately they are forgotten all of a sudden.

'It feels like a good dream, but why is it in high school. ’ Lorraine Hill recalled that high school in her previous life was full of homework and papers, and she was not happy at all.

Sitting on the chair, Lorraine Hill stretched his back, then shook his head to wake himself up, and then looked around again.

Fortunately, there was no one in the hall just now, if someone saw that lazy look, it would really break the image, Lorraine Hill felt a little lucky in his heart.

After standing up and taking a few steps, it seemed that he was not so sleepy. Lorraine Hill thought about going to Senior Sister Jinhua, but felt that Senior Sister Jinhua might be taking a nap or practicing.

Still don't bother, go down the mountain to see how the dragon boat is built.

After sorting out the backlog of affairs in the Xiangyu faction in the morning, the most critical point is that the disciples in charge of building the dragon boat reported that the progress is almost over.

After rearranging her hair and dress, Lorraine Hill walked out of the hall, only then did the two people standing by the door find out, and then said hello.

"Hello Senior Sister Luolan~" Looking at the smiles on the corners of the two people's mouths, Luolan Hill didn't know that his nap in the hall was exposed.

That's all, anyway, I don't want to maintain such a dignified image for a long time.

"Have you been staying here?"

"Yes." The two nodded again.

"Thank you

, But this time you don't have to stand here all the time, go get busy with your own affairs. "

The two responded a few more words before leaving the hall.

This time, without the disciples sent to follow, Lorraine Hill's footsteps became much lighter. She jumped directly from the cliff, gliding down like a bird, passing through a long mountain depression, avoiding the canyons and cliffs along the way, and then gradually descending into a valley with densely populated houses.

It is very close to the mountain gate of the Xiangyu School, and there are wide wooden rails leading to the outside. From time to time, trains pull materials and goods in and out, loading and unloading various things, and the keel of a huge ship in the tall house under the cliff beside the side has been completed, and various structures and facilities have begun to be filled inside, and every floor will be inspected by true disciples from the school, and the reinforcement circle will be imprinted on the lines.

Lorraine Hill's eyes moved from the window, and then his figure gently landed in front of the open door, and walked in.

Crisp chiseling and knocking sounds echoed in the empty house. About five hundred craftsmen gathered in the valley dock. Some were in charge of building the main structure, some were in charge of fitting and connection, some were in charge of painting, and some were carving the magic circle under the command of the members of the faction, pouring liquid metal to condense, and the scene was hot and orderly.

"Master Lolan." A true disciple in this huge workshop saw the girl walking in, and walked quickly.

"Shh, don't say anything." Lorraine Hill put her finger up in front of her body, telling the person in front of her to keep her voice down. Now that she has a special status, if she is recognized, it will probably be done with great fanfare

Welcome, now we have to stop working for a while.

After calming down the familiar true disciple, Lorraine Hill walked up the stairs on the side wall of the workshop, and then stood on the third floor overlooking the huge keel and prototype of the floating boat in the workshop, thinking about what it would look like after it was completed.

"Which batch is it now?" Lorraine Hill asked.

"This is the third batch, and it is also the largest floating boat and dragon boat manufactured so far," said the disciple.

It turns out that there are several types of empty boats built by the Xiangyu faction. First, a batch of small ones were made to test technology and verify the effect. Later, they were continuously improved and a second batch of medium-sized empty boats were built. Today, they are large-scale empty boats. Because they are quite different from ordinary empty boats in terms of function and structure, they are called dragon boats to distinguish them.

Although the Kingdom of Oz was destroyed hundreds of years ago, its craft of making airships has not been completely lost, and some of them have been handed down through various methods. Back then, the Ruerna Kingdom obtained a part, simplified and miniaturized it, and produced a large number of floating airships. .

Several techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is difficult to say which one is more advanced. Now Lorraine Hill has integrated the skills of the three, and then improved some of them before teaching them to the disciples and craftsmen in the school. But design is design after all, and it needs to be adjusted continuously in practice.

"According to the knowledge imparted by the senior sister in charge, we have made a lot of adjustments. The plan adopted by the current ship has the most stable comprehensive effect. Compared with ordinary floating boats, this dragon boat can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour after being accelerated by the turbo fire in the boat. It can be fast, but it can't last long, otherwise it will cause damage to the hull."

"The outer deck of the dragon boat is made of yellow toon wood produced in Xiang Yu's secret territory. Its quality is similar to that of the golden rank. With our current reserves, we can build up to fifty similar dragon boats."

"Because my years of reserves in wood texture technology can make good use of the advantages of these materials. The engraved 21-layer cotinus cotinus can make the whole hull easily withstand the full blow of a sixth-level extraordinary person. If it is the existence of a seventh-level transcendent, it may cause a small number of scars. Of course, this is the case when there are not enough disciples on board to cast magic circles."

"If each dragon boat is equipped with about 50 seventh-level true disciples, the dragon boat can temporarily resist the attack of eighth-level practitioners who are "on the ground". This time is also enough to support the surrounding dragons.

The ship came to support. "

"In terms of attack, the red oars on both sides of the dragon boat use the fire bird burning feather array provided by "Zhu Zhan Huo Lianyuan". This set of formation can not only be used by a single ship, but also multiple ships can be used in combination. If there are more than 16 ships, it can form a large fire and phoenix formation. Wherever it goes, the blazing wind is fierce, burning gods and killing demons. It was used by Zhu Zhan's Huo Lianyuan disciples in the early days of the dynasty, and it is famous all over the world."

"In addition to the fire feather paddle sails used in large-scale military battles, there is an improved main gun of our "Incense and Burning Sun Formation" on the main shaft inside the hull. Three prefabricated fuel powders are added to the gun bore to recirculate, and the high temperature is applied to ignite it.

"Such a powerful main gun, I remember there are many shortcomings."

"Yes, because energy is needed to constrain the phlogiston in the barrel and shoot it out when charging the cannon. This will drain most of the energy supply of the dragon ship. This will cause the dragon ship to lose a lot of power and speed will drop a lot in the few minutes before and after the launch. However, according to the test of the same school, it is still worth sacrificing short-term speed in order to launch a powerful shot. Even a monster of Sequence 8 will suffer great damage when facing the full-strength shot of the main gun."

"Well, apart from the main gun, after all, not every enemy will stand still in front of the artillery fire."

"We have also verified a lot of solutions for this problem. There are currently two ideas. The first is to deploy four Hanxing ballista on the front deck of the dragon boat. This is the technique of "Fenxiang Guanxingfu".

The effect of breaking the magic and breaking the armor can also be infused with magic power by the personnel when launching, which makes the power even higher. In addition to the four Hanxing ballistas, there are thirty-six thunderbolt blue mirrors on both sides of the hull, which can be used by disciples of 5-7 ranks. "

"The second plan is slightly different. Instead of deploying the Hanxing Ballista and Thunderbolt Blue Thunder Mirror, the internal space is vacated, and the eight Youhuo Skeletal Owls provided by the 'Ning Zizhao Night Palace' can be equipped. They can sneak in the form of a ghost, and fly a very long distance to attack or investigate."

"This seems to be good too. The two solutions can be used together." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"The ship currently under construction is the No. 1 design, right?"

"Yes, design No. 2 is currently only built for verification."

"If you build a few more ships in the No. 2 design, let's build them according to the ratio of 5:1. If you build five dragon boats in the No. 1 design, build one in the No. 2 design."

"Yes, my lord." The true disciple nodded excitedly, then picked up the cardboard at hand and recorded it.

After writing a few strokes, he suddenly thought of something and asked.

"These two are always called the first design and the second design, which will be very complicated.

Suo, I wonder if the master can name them? "

"Choose a name." Lorraine Hill blinked, feeling that this kind of thing is really a headache.

Just pick one, it feels too frivolous, after all, it is everyone's hard work, but if it is too special and too obscure, it feels artificial.

It's really embarrassing for me, the girl thought to herself, but it's not good to refuse, otherwise some members of the faction will be disappointed, after all, everyone hopes that their efforts will be recognized.

After pondering for a while, Lorraine Hill finally adopted the familiar naming method from his previous life.

"The first design scheme is called the 'Qingdian-class' dragon ship, and the second is called the 'Purple Owl-class' dragon ship, so that it will be convenient to add numbers and iterations in the future, such as the 'Qingdian-class' No. 3 ship, the 'Purple Owl-class fourth-generation' ship, and so on."

"Thank you, Sir, for your name." The true disciple continued to write excitedly, and then asked and reported many things before gradually retreating.

After he left, Lorraine Hill finally had some free time, standing by the fence, overlooking every detail and corner of the dragon boat under construction, and then

Then compare it with the sky battleship of Oz in my memory.

In terms of technology and overall quality, the current dragon boats can't reach the level of Oz's peak period, and there is almost a generation gap. After all, Dorothy set extremely high standards at that time in preparation for entering space.

But this is not a problem. Industry is the progress of the entire system. At present, most parts of the East are still agricultural societies, lacking sufficient industrial foundation. If metal hulls, various mechanical transmissions, electronic signals, and magic guidance systems are used, the manufacturing difficulty will be increased several times.

After sorting out and researching during this period, Lorraine Hill discovered that the extraordinary skills and crafts of the Eastern factions are actually not bad, and the foundation can even be said to be very rich. With a little improvement and integration, a powerful dragon ship warship can be produced. But why did the previous dynasty and other factions in the world never take this path? It is just that the Hanshan Yanxingmen has a preliminary attempt in this area, and the floating boats of the faction are cruising all over the world.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lorraine Hill finally asked Senior Sister Jinhua and some disciples in the faction to gradually understand the reason, probably because he didn't realize it at all, or there was no need for it.

Just like a person with a very rich life, if you ask him to work hard to earn a lot of money, he may not want to do it, because he is living a comfortable life now, so why bother.

If it weren't for the emperor's perverse actions, the dynasty's rule could be said to be extremely stable, with loyal ministers and good generals inside, and major door-to-door assistance outside. Anyone living in such an environment would not have too much pressure and motivation to break the existing rules of interest and do something special and risky.

With this time and energy, it is better to focus on yourself, climb the nine-story ladder, and become a flying fairy is the right way. This is the thinking of many practitioners in the East.

'However, times are always changing. ’ Lorraine Hill walked through the long corridor in the sky, and the yellow dress fluttered slightly, reflecting the little golden threads in the changing environment of light and dark.

"It's time for everyone to realize the cruelty of the world and the change of the times."

Finally, she stood under the open window sill, the bright light slanted through the dust, and shone on her back, as well as the gradually forming huge battleship below.

The roar of steam gradually sounded.
