Chapter 1202: Battleship Construction
Favorite【】, for you to read wonderfully.
The Terran coalition naturally resolutely denied this accusation, and at the same time expressed sympathy for the huge losses of the dwarves. It's just that sympathy is sympathy, and when dividing the fruits of victory, he did not show mercy because of this, but became even more unscrupulous, almost completely excluding the dwarves. That is, the original territory of the dwarves, and the living environment is too bad, otherwise I am afraid that even that bit of territory may not be able to be kept.
And the attack of the High Elves, as well as the disappearance of Master Thor and the Blueprints of the Sky Breaker, became a historical case that has been entangled for nearly a thousand years. It is in the last three or four hundred years that the relationship between the dwarves and the human kingdom has eased slightly, and at least normal trade has resumed with each other.
However, just when the dwarves had lost hope of reproducing the Sky Breaker, a drawing of the Sky Breaker appeared in their eyes again, and one can imagine how great a shock this would cause to the upper echelons of the Dwarf Kingdom. And how to deal with this matter, if you get the complete manufacturing blueprint of the Sky Breaker, the upper echelons of the Dwarf Kingdom are divided into two factions.
One faction reacted violently, believing that the Sky Breakers originally belonged to the Dwarven clan and should demand that the Tower of Twilight unconditionally return the Sky Breaker's manufacturing blueprints. As for the Tower of Twilight, which was created to help create the Skybreaker in exchange for the complete blueprint of the Skybreaker, they disagreed even more. Such a powerful weapon as the Sky Breaker should only belong to the dwarf clan, how can it be in the hands of the greedy human race.
They even suggested that the Dwarven King Odin would order all the best Dwarven warriors to be summoned to the Plains of Light Wind to reclaim the Skybreaker's manufacturing blueprints. In their eyes, the Tower of Dusk is nothing more than a local force of the human race, just like the tribes in their own kingdom, which cannot compete with the dwarven kingdom at all.
On the other hand, the other faction should be considered moderates, advocating cooperation with the Tower of Dusk in order to obtain a complete Skybreaker blueprint. After all, this is not the time when the Dark Ages have just ended, the era of war, and even if they create a real Sky Breaker, they may not have to rely on it to wage war.
In this era, the Sky Breaker is more of a deterrent force, which can improve the status of the Dwarven Kingdom on the continent to a certain extent.
And once the Dwarven Kingdom uses the Sky Breaker to start a war, I am afraid that it will soon become the public enemy of the entire continent, and even if the Sky Breaker has great power, it is impossible for the Dwarf Kingdom to have the power to challenge the countries of the continent.
The dispute between these two factions made the dwarf king Odin not know what to do for a while, after all, the dwarf kingdom is not a kingdom with centralized monarchy, but a union of tribes. Although the dwarven king Odin has a great reputation, he cannot but take into account the opinions of the leaders of the various tribes.
Fortunately, the moderates still had the upper hand in this dispute, and the dwarves were not all militants, although they were not very good-tempered. It is precisely because of this that the order for the magic crystal cannon under the Tower of Dusk was successfully executed, allowing Boleka to smoothly transport back the first batch of magic crystal cannons.
The dispute caused by the Dwarven Kingdom's drawings of the Sky Breaker should actually be said to be expected, after all, this Sky Breaker is too important to the Dwarf clan. However, Lin Li believes that the dwarves will eventually make the choice they want, don't look at the people who say now that they want to snatch the blueprints back or something, but if they really see the strength of the Tower of Dusk, I'm afraid most of them will have to shut up obediently.
Therefore, Lin Li didn't worry too much about cooperating to create the Sky Splitter, this can actually be said to be a sure thing, and the only problem is just time. On the other hand, on the side of the Jindu Kingdom, the purchase and sale of the magic crystal naval cannon unsurprisingly encountered some trouble. The people of the Jindu Kingdom are not fools, and selling the magic crystal cannon to the Tower of Dusk is a naked enemy behavior for them.
The relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Kingdom of Jindu is well known to both sides, and it can be said that it is well known in the Plains of Light Wind - everyone knows that sooner or later a war will break out between the two. And under such circumstances, if the Jindu Kingdom still sold its magic crystal naval cannon to the Tower of Dusk, it would be the most stupid act in the history of the Anriel Continent.
However, in the previous matter of the cage island, the Jindu Kingdom asked for help from the Tower of Dusk and the forces of the Light Wind Plains, but agreed to many conditions. And although the Tower of Dusk did not propose the purchase of the Jindu Kingdom's magic crystal naval guns at that time, it also left a foreshadowing, unless the Jindu Kingdom is willing to put on a hat that is untrustworthy, otherwise it really has to be stupid.
From a political perspective, as long as there are enough interests for the country, even if the Jindu Kingdom tears up the agreement, it is actually not a big deal. After all, for more than 1,300 years after the end of the Dark Ages, various kingdoms have been signing agreements with each other, and then constantly tearing up agreements, and everything is a floating cloud in the face of interests.
But now, if the Jindu Kingdom wants to develop on the Light Wind Plain, it can't help but put on an image of keeping its promises, otherwise I'm afraid it will really be difficult to move an inch on the Light Wind Plain. Moreover, the Jindu Kingdom is not ready to start a war with the Tower of Dusk now, if it is really a direct rejection of the so-called legitimate request of the Tower of Dusk, then I am afraid it will be no different from tearing your face.
However, as the envoy of the Kingdom of Jindu, Contoli is not without a way. Faced with the request of the Tower of Dusk to buy the magic crystal naval gun, he did not directly refuse, but played the procrastination trick with great skill. Compared to the Dwarven Kingdom's magic crystal cannons, their magic crystal cannons are similar in principle, but they are larger and more difficult to manufacture, and these have become an excuse for Cantoli to delay.
"I know that according to the previous agreement, we should not refuse your request to buy and sell the magic crystal naval guns. However, our Magic Crystal naval cannon is very difficult to manufacture, and it is too large to transport, so please be patient. I can't dismantle the magic crystal guns on our ships to you. Contoli said helplessly when facing the envoy of the Jindu Kingdom.
I have to say that Cantori's excuse is not entirely nonsense. If there were a lot of them, with the Ring of Endless Storm with infinite space, no matter how many magic crystal naval cannons there were, they could be loaded at once. However, on the side of the Jindu Kingdom, there are no storage items like the Ring of Endless Storm, and it still needs to rely on the cargo hold of the ship to transport the goods, which is indeed difficult to transport a large number of magic crystal naval guns.
As for the difficulties in manufacturing, it is true that there are difficulties, after all, the magic crystal naval cannon of the Jindu Kingdom is not simply an enlarged version of the magic crystal cannon, which uses a lot of technology in the field of alchemy. Otherwise, the dwarven kingdom still needs to have a headache for the Sky Breaker, just build a huge magic crystal cannon.
However, the Tower of Twilight is in charge of talking about this matter by the treacherous and cunning Grean, and this fat old man is not so easy to fool. Dismantling the magic crystal naval guns from battleships? Okay, that saves you on transportation! Gray's response nearly turned Cantori into anger.
In the face of Cantoli's delay, Grean was not in a hurry, and directly sent a message to those forces who were trading with the Jindu Kingdom. Almost overnight, all the forces temporarily stopped trading with the Jindu Kingdom, so that the Jindu Kingdom could not buy a single piece of copper on the Light Wind Plain.
If it was before the Battle of Cage Island, maybe some of the forces in the Light Wind Plains would have disobeyed the Tower of Dusk. However, the battle on Cage Island made people of all forces see the strength of the Tower of Dusk, and the leader of the high-level holy domain is powerful and can severely damage the dragon corpse in the sky city with one blow, who would dare to be an enemy of such a force.
Now, it depends on how long the Jindu Kingdom can hold out, after all, the Jindu Kingdom also has a great demand for the resources of the Light Wind Plain. Judging from the latest news, Cantoli has begun to gradually relent, first promising to trade one magic crystal naval cannon with the Tower of Dusk every month, and then increased to two. But this did not satisfy Gray, two magic crystal naval guns a month may be quite remarkable in the eyes of others, but it is far from meeting the firepower needs of Sky City.
The Heaven Splitter and the Demon Crystal Naval Cannon of the Jindu Kingdom, these two things didn't seem to have achieved much success, but Lin Li knew very well in his heart that whether it was the Dwarf Kingdom or the Jindu Kingdom, they would still bow their heads after all.
Therefore, Lin Li didn't care too much about these two things, and after guiding his subordinates to install the first batch of magic crystal cannons in Sky City, he immediately set off for Aotland Harbor, which was located on the southern coast of the Light Wind Plain. Otlan Harbor is a newly built seaport in the Tower of Dusk, very close to the Terra Mines, originally intended to anchor the warship that had been captured from the Kingdom of Kindo. The ship's main mission was to guard the coast of the Terra mine in case anyone attacked it from the sea.
However, after Lin Li obtained the navigation information of the Jindu Kingdom, he invested a lot of money to expand the port of Aotlán, and built a large-scale shipyard in the port. Although it is said that the Tower of Dusk does not have any maritime trade now, in the face of the Jindu Kingdom with a powerful fleet, if it wants to truly ensure the safety of its coastal areas, it is not enough to rely on that modified warship alone.
What's more, although the transformed battleship has been transformed beyond recognition, the foundation is still the alchemy giant ship of the Jindu Kingdom. This makes many aspects of the transformation have been quite restricted, and it is far less free than building a brand new warship by yourself.
Moreover, Lin Li had a faint feeling in his heart that one day he might need an incomparably powerful warship to be able to deal with the crisis that might come. Why did he feel like this, Lin Li couldn't think of the real reason, it was just a pure premonition, or it was influenced by the world created by Gresco.
After all, since Gresco had created such a world, and had left behind such a powerful Star, he must have wanted the inheritors to learn something from it, and it was absolutely impossible for the inheritors to watch a show. Although Lin Li still can't guess Gresco's intentions, he might as well make more preparations.
After Lin Li came to the shipyard in Aotran, the battleship in the shipyard had just completed the basic framework, and the huge hull alone made everyone who saw it secretly smack their tongues. Compared with the alchemy giant ships of the Jindu Kingdom, the newly built battleship in the Tower of Dusk is probably as large as four or five of those alchemy giant ships in terms of volume. When Lin Li saw the real thing for the first time, he even remembered the aircraft carrier that traveled through the previous world and was known as the giant of the sea.
Seeing the appearance of the Lord in the shipyard, several people in charge of building the battleship couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, the construction progress of this battleship was much slower than they expected, after all, no matter how experienced they were, it was the first time that they could build such a huge battleship.
Fortunately, Lin Li did not blame them for their slow progress, but gathered all the responsible persons and many shipbuilders to make significant changes to the original design of the battleship. Fortunately, this battleship has only completed the construction of the hull, and many things behind it have not yet started, otherwise it will inevitably have to add a lot of work.
Lin Lixin's revised plan was inspired by the Xingchen. In addition to completely controlling the Star, he already had a very clear understanding of the entire structure of the Star, and the comparison between the two made him know that there were too many things to improve in the battleship he originally designed.
For example, the most basic, the power system of the battleship, the power system used by the Star, is actually very similar to the power system of Sky City. It's just that Lin Li has always believed that it is difficult for the power system of Sky City to be perfectly transplanted to a warship, after all, it involves not only the problem of zooming and shrinking, but also the transmission and matching of power and many other problems that need to be solved.
Therefore, Lin Li had not considered transplanting the power system of Sky City to this warship under construction. However, in the design of this battleship, the design of the power system of the alchemy giant ship of the Jindu Kingdom is still followed. However, what kind of warship with what kind of power system is the standard that the Jindu Kingdom's navigation technology has been developed for thousands of years and has paid a huge price to determine.
Lin Li wants to build a larger warship, although the design of the power system of the Jindu Kingdom has been modified to a certain extent, so that the power system can support the operation of this larger warship, but there will definitely be many problems. Maybe there are problems that can't be seen at the moment, and they will only be exposed one by one when the battleship is launched, but then it will be too late to revise them.
