Chapter 451: Flying Battleship
With the order of the flower fairy, a vine branch close to the cannonball rolled up a cannonball like a tentacle and sent it in the direction of the cannon.
The vines next to it immediately picked up the cannonball and continued to pass it down.
As the vines relayed, the shell reached the breech of the cannon in 30 seconds.
At this time, a tentacle vine was under the control of the flower fairy, flexibly pulling and breaking and opening the cannon chamber.
Then the vines that rolled the cannonballs were sent into the bore.
Another vine immediately closed the chamber and prepared for firing.
The whole process is like a cloud and water, which is very fast and convenient, which fully shows the flower fairy's ability to accurately control the vines.
Emperor Shi Tian was very satisfied with this, nodded and said, "Good job, fire 50 cannons for me!"
"Yes!" the flower fairy immediately agreed, and then gave the order to open fire.
As the vines pulled the fire door of the cannon, there was a boom, and a cannonball successfully completed the firing.
Immediately afterward, the vine that specialized in cannon manipulation couldn't wait to open the back hall, and the companion next to it immediately stuffed another cannonball into it.
It turned out that the mighty vines did not just bring in one shell, but passed the shells one after the other until all the vines were covered with a shell.
In this way, after the cannon is fired, the shells behind it can be stuffed in immediately, so as to achieve an endless stream of continuous firing.
Due to the very high speed of this firing, there was not much time, and with the roar of the boom, 50 shells were gone.
After 50 shots, even the barrel forged from magic metal increased in temperature and turned a little red.
Emperor Shi Tian then said to the flower fairy, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and cool down the barrel?"
"Yes!" the flower fairy hurriedly agreed, then took out another seed and threw it on the ground, and hurriedly urged it.
Soon, a blue, chilling vine rose from the ground, wrapped itself directly around the barrel, and then, like a snake, traveled around the barrel until it was completely enveloped in destruction, and at first glance, it looked like a blue rope wrapped around the shell.
Since the ice vines emit low temperatures, the reddened barrels quickly cooled down.
The whole process lasted for more than ten seconds, and the temperature of the barrel was reduced to not much higher than the normal temperature, and it was completely possible to fire continuously again.
This result naturally made Emperor Shi Tian extremely satisfied, and he immediately smiled at the Yuelan Holy Maiden and said, "Look at it, I just say, they are natural artillery commanders!"
So far, what else can the Holy Maiden of Yuelan say? She could only smile helplessly and said, "Can you leave me a little?"
"Don't worry, usually you only let them go through some training, most of the time they are still your subordinates, but in times of war, you have to let them operate the artillery!" said Emperor Shitian.
"Is it dangerous?" asked the Yuelan Holy Maiden worriedly.
"It's definitely not dangerous, heavy artillery is all, and the key protection objects are often hidden behind, protected by heavy troops, you don't need to worry about it at all. Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile.
"That's good!" the Holy Maiden of Yuelan said reluctantly: "Then I will hand over these sisters to you, you have to protect their safety!"
"Don't worry!" Emperor Shi Tian said with a smile.
Next, Emperor Shi Tian began to train and reorganize these ten flower fairy cannon commanders.
In the end, the new artillery crew was still composed of two alchemy carriages, but the number of people driving the car was reduced to two orcs, and the establishment was reduced by half at once.
In addition, the first car will add a special small space, about a cubic meter, with a house made of wood, which is divided into two floors, which is the small villa residence of the flower fairy.
I have to say that the same mage, the flower fairy is much easier to support than those proud mages.
Each of the mages asked for an alchemy carriage, and they had to eat and live in it when they were marching.
And the flower fairy only needs a one-cubicle cabin, the bottom layer is full of all kinds of snacks, and the upper layer is a comfortable small wooden bed, which is enough for her to stay happily.
This alone can reduce a lot of expenses for each artillery crew, after all, the treatment of the master is much higher than that of the flower fairy.
And the most important thing is that Emperor Shi Tian has 10,000 cannons here, and there are 10,000 more bronze mages at once.
Although most of these bronze mages are unsuccessful, they will be easily looted by Emperor Shi Tian on the black market, but they are also mages if they are not successful, and they can still be of great use when combined.
Especially since these mages are still young and highly malleable.
After Emperor Shakti liberated them, he did not directly assign them to various mage groups, but let them go to a magic school for further study.
I believe that after a year or two of training by Aladdin, the archmage, they will eventually become a weapon.
After spending a few days on the Flower Fairy Cannon Team, Emperor Shi Tian was invited by Aladdin.
At this time, Aladdin's main job was only one, building ten small flying battleships.
Don't look at it as just a small flying battleship, in fact, it looks really not small on the surface, with a length of more than 150 meters and a width of more than 30 meters.
Wait, why do flying battleships still have masts and sails?
The reason is simple, in the wizarding world, there are two important components that a flying battleship needs to fly in the sky.
One is the floating circle, which is usually attached to the bottom of the ship and is responsible for floating the heavy battleship.
The other is the power system, which is responsible for moving heavy ships quickly.
After a series of choices, the mages finally decided that the magic sail was the best power system.
First of all, the magic sail is simple in shape and inexpensive, as long as it is a magic animal skin, you can make a sail.
The second is that the magic sail is relatively stable and very easy to maneuver, which can make the ship very flexible.
Finally, the consumption of magic sails is less, and with the same consumption of mana, magic sails can fly faster and farther.
In addition to the magic sails, there are a few other powers, but after all, there are all kinds of flaws, so in the end, it is the magic sails that take over the mainstream of the flying battleship.
Emperor Shi Tian now has limited materials, and can only build the smallest three-masted flying battleship.
It is said that there were also medium-sized warships with five masts two or three hundred meters long, and large seven-masted warships with a length of four or five hundred meters.
There are even extremely rare nine-masted battleships, and that is giant warships.
Even small three-masted battleships, in general, take two or three years to build, or even longer.
Even if there was an alchemy master like Aladdin on Emperor Shitian's side, and hundreds of alchemy gods and monsters, it would take a year to complete the construction.
And now, only a few months have passed, and the Flying Battleship has only built a shelf.
It's just a dragon skeleton, and the big guy that exudes the brilliance of the fiery red torch also makes Emperor Shi Tian feel satisfied.
Aladdin stood beside him and said helplessly to Emperor Shitian: "The current progress of the project is okay, but we have encountered a multiple-choice question that requires you to make an idea. ”
"What kind of multiple-choice question?" Emperor Shi asked with a smile.
"That is, our warships need to focus on speed, or do they need to focus on defense, if they focus on speed, they should be narrower and longer, and if they focus on defense, they should be wider and shorter. Aladdin said: "This is related to the drawing of the magic array in the future, and once it is confirmed, it cannot be changed." ”
Emperor Shi Tian said almost without hesitation: "Speed, demand speed, pursue the ultimate speed, and even sacrifice any other indicators!"
"Ah, do you want to pursue extreme speed?" Aladdin said in shock, "Don't you require firepower and protection? If we fight with the enemy's flying battleships, we will definitely suffer!"
"Hehe!" Emperor Shi Tian smiled slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, even a small three-masted battleship can carry a thousand cavalry, so this thing will become a treasure that various lords are competing for, right?"
"Yes!" Aladdin said, "Generally speaking, a three-masted battleship can reach a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, travel 20,000 kilometers in 24 hours a day, and reach it in half a day between two territories. With the firepower of the battleship itself, combined with a thousand elite troops transporting past, it is easy to deal with cities that are not well defended. And if there are several such warships, even some big cities will not be able to stop their surprise attacks, so any lord will especially like this kind of treasure. ”
"Isn't that the end of it?" Emperor Shi Tian explained with a smile: "Our Flying Battleships don't need to be tough with other people's Flying Battleships at all, they just need to run fast." If the two sides really meet on the battlefield, hehe, I believe that with our current air force strength, we can ensure that the opponent's flying battleship will die without a place to be buried, and there is no need to dispatch our flying battleship at all. ”
"But with only a thousand, or even two thousand air forces, it is impossible to beat the flying battleship?" After Aladdin finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and then slapped his forehead heavily, and said with remorse: "Look at my stupid head, why did you forget your old man's portal!"
"Haha, you can teach!" Emperor Shi Tian said with a smug smile.
It turned out that Emperor Shi Tian's plan was very simple, as long as the portal was opened inside the flying battleship, he could send the flying troops in the Jiangshan Sheji space over, and then it would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of flying troops.
Even if the other party has a fleet of hundreds of flying warships, in the face of such a large number of flying troops, I am afraid that they will have to kneel on the ground and sing conquest!
Aladdin obviously thought of this, and then said excitedly: "I understand, don't worry, this time I will definitely give you a flying battleship of extreme speed, completely sacrificing firepower and defense, at least the speed must be above 2000!"
"Very good, anyway, the sooner the better!" said Emperor Shi Tian with a smile.
