She Is Not a Witch Chapter 71: Dragon ship battleship
It was already the end of July when Lorraine Hill returned to the Xiangyu faction.
At this time, the weather is hot, and the cicadas are constantly singing outside the window, but there is clear spring water flowing through the main hall on the top of the mountain. water stream in the forest.
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 practical material 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. Carved with floral ornaments. 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, and it is incomparably complete. The young leaves are delicate and clear in texture, and their colors flow and change, getting darker as they reach the end, like a faint red glow. The whole painting is about ten meters high, and it contrasts with the girl sitting under the painting. Compatible and beautiful.
The head with closed eyes was leaning on the back of the chair. As the girl breathed, her chest slowly rose and fell, and the eyelashes on her eyes also changed slightly. Behind the back, a few of them are bent due to the folds of the clothes, separated from the public, and scattered playfully on one side.
In the morning, Lorraine Hill discussed a lot of things with the members of Xiangyu Sect in this hall. After the discussion, she felt a little sleepy, so she thought about sitting for a while and waiting for everyone to leave, I went back to rest, but I didn't want to sit still, so I fell asleep in the hall.
Looking at the girl's cute sleeping posture, the few people staying behind did not want to wake her up. Slept past noon until now.
The sun outside the main hall was bright, and cicadas chirped 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.
Perhaps 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 been 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 a few familiar classmates and friends in her class, including her deskmate, Keti, who sits at the same table. In the front row, Sifner, who can play the piano and sing, in the back row, is the literary girl Brunnard with a cold personality, the head teacher, Teacher Trinasha, and some familiar and vague names, but unfortunately I forgot them all at once.
'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 I 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 maybe she was in the middle of the night. practice.
Don't bother, let's go down the mountain to see how the dragon boat is being 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~" Seeing 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 you don't have to stand here all the time, go and do your own business."
The two responded a few more words before leaving the hall.
There will be no disciples to follow, and Lorraine Hill's footsteps are much lighter. She jumped directly from the cliff, gliding down like a bird, passing through the long valley, avoiding Canyons and cliffs along the way, and then gradually descended into a valley with dense houses.
It is very close to the Xiangyu Pai Mountain Gate, and there are wide wooden rails leading to the outside. From time to time, there are trains pulling materials and goods in and out, loading and unloading various things, and the keel of a huge ship in a tall house under the cliff beside it has already passed. After the construction was completed, various structures and facilities began to be filled inside, and each floor would be inspected by true disciples from the faction, and the reinforced magic circle would 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.
Clear gouging and knocking sounds echoed in this empty house. About five hundred craftsmen gathered in this valley dock. lacquer, and under the command of the members of the faction, they carved the magic circle, poured 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.
"Hush, 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, she will probably be welcomed with great fanfare. We'll 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 See what it will look like when it's finished.
"Which batch is it now?" Lorraine Hill asked.
"This is the third batch, and it is also the largest floating dragon boat manufactured so far." This disciple introduced.
It turns out that there are several types of empty boats built by Xiangyu faction. First, a batch of small ones were made to test technology and verify the effect. Now it is a large empty boat, because it is quite different from ordinary empty boats in terms of function and structure, so it is called a dragon boat to distinguish it.
Although the country of Oz was destroyed hundreds of years ago, its craft of manufacturing floating warships has not been completely lost, and some of it has been handed down through various methods. , simplified and miniaturized it, and produced a large number of floating airships. The Young Moon Council is used to manufacture warships at sea and specialize in naval warfare. As for the East, it retains some primitive and complete skills. Erna's airship is so flexible and fast, but its advantage lies in its huge size, which can carry more people and goods.
Several skills 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 companies and improved some of them before teaching them to the disciples and craftsmen in the faction. But design is design after all, and it needs to be adjusted continuously in practice, which requires a lot of time and personnel, which is why Lorraine Hill asked Xiang Yu faction to recruit a large number of craftsmen.
"According to the knowledge imparted by the senior sister in charge, we have made a lot of adjustments. The plan adopted by the ship in front of us is the most stable in terms of comprehensive effect. Compared with ordinary floating boats, this dragon boat is accelerated by the turbo fire in the ship. It can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour, no matter how fast it is, but not for a long time, otherwise it will damage the hull.”
"The outer deck of the dragon boat is made of yellow toon wood produced in the secret territory of Xiangyu. Its quality is similar to that of the golden rank. With our current reserves, we can build up to fifty similar dragon boats."
"Because I have sent many years of reserves in wood grain technology to make good use of the advantages of these materials, the engraved twenty-one layers of cotinus cotinus can stabilize the wind gust, so that the overall hull can easily withstand the full strength of the sixth-order transcendent. If it is a seventh-order existence, it may cause a small number of scars, of course, this is because there are not enough disciples on the ship to cast the magic circle."
"If each dragon boat is equipped with about 50 seventh-level true disciples, the dragon boat can temporarily resist the attack of the eighth-level 'landing' practitioners, and this time is enough to support other surrounding dragon boats to come to support."
"In terms of attack, the crimson oars on both sides of the dragon boat use the fire bird burning feather array provided by 'Zhu Zhan Huo Lianyuan'. This array can not only be used by a single ship, but also by multiple ships. More than six ships can form a large formation of fire and phoenix, and wherever it goes, the flames are fierce, burning gods and killing demons, and it was used by Zhu Zhan's disciples of Huo Lianyuan 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 the "Incense Burning Sun Array" sent by me on the main shaft inside the hull, and three prefabricated fuel powders are added to the gun bore to revolve , apply high temperature to ignite it, and then use the magic circle in the barrel to spray out the phlogiston that ignites the drastic change, and then it can sweep and penetrate the enemies in front."
"Such a powerful main gun, I remember there are many shortcomings."
"Yes, because energy is needed to restrain the phlogiston in the barrel and shoot it out when storing energy to use the artillery, so it will take out most of the energy supply of the dragon ship, which will cause the dragon ship to lose a lot of energy in the few minutes before and after the launch. The power and speed will drop a lot, but according to the test of the same school in the school, it is still worth sacrificing a short-term speed to fire a powerful shot. Even a monster of Sequence 8, facing the full power of the main gun If you shoot, you will also suffer great damage."
"Well, except for the main gun, after all, not every enemy will stand still in front of the artillery fire."
"We have also verified many solutions for this problem. Currently, there are two ideas. The first one is to deploy four Hanxing Ballistas on the front deck of the dragon boat. This is the technique of "Fenxiang Guanxingfu". The crossbow arrows are made of fine steel from the North Sea, and the Xingxing Mansion's star-linking array method is used on them. Outside Zhang Hanxing's ballista, thirty-six thunderbolt blue thunder mirrors are erected on both sides of the ship, which can be used by disciples of 5-7 ranks. It is specially used for those fast-moving enemies, even if they cannot be pierced by electric shock immediately, they can still be paralyzed and fall, losing their speed."
"The second plan is slightly different, that is, instead of configuring the Hanxing Ballista and the Thunderbolt Blue Thunder Mirror, the internal space is vacated, and the eight Youhuo skeletons provided by the 'Ningzizhaoye Palace' are equipped. The owl, which can transform into a stealthy body, can fly extremely long distances 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, only one of the second design has been built for verification."
"If you build a few more boats 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.
"It would be very cumbersome to call these two kinds of designs No. 1 and No. 2. I don't know 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 is convenient to add numbers and iterations in the future, such as the 'Qingdian-class' No. 3 ship,' Purple Owl-class fourth-generation ship, like this."
"Thank you sir for your name." This 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 ship under construction, and comparing it with the sky battleship in Oz in his mind .
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, preparing for entering space. .
But there is nothing to do. Industry is the progress of the whole system. At present, most parts of the East are still agricultural societies, which lack sufficient industrial foundation. If metal hulls, various mechanical transmissions, electronic signals, and magic Guidance system, the manufacturing difficulty will be several times higher, and it is estimated that Clancia can achieve it now. In fact, when Lorraine Hill left the Western Continent, they had already touched the threshold of the country of Oz.
After sorting out and researching during this period, Lorraine Hill found that the extraordinary skills and crafts of the various 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 boat can be created Warships, but why did the previous dynasties and factions in the world not take this path? It is just that the Hanshan Yanxingmen has a preliminary attempt in this area, and the floating boats in 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.
Like a very wealthy person, 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?~IndoMTL.com~If It’s not that the emperor is perverting. In fact, the rule of the dynasty can be described as extremely stable. There are loyal ministers and good generals inside, and there are major door-to-door assistance outside. Don't worry. 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.
If you have the time and energy, you might as well 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.
