Chapter 384: An unprecedented ship

"The enemy ship is turning!"

"The goal is still about four miles away from us!"

The guard in charge of the observation reminded loudly.

"It seems that they have already used the tree species of the elves." Pang

Ting's face sank like a waterway, "There are indeed enslaved islanders on

board."

"Isn't this something that I had expected a long time ago?" Xia Fan said in a

relaxed tone, "Don't worry, this set of offensive is built for close-range

attacks."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Pang Ting was mixed for a while.

When this plan was proposed, both he and the high priest were surprised by

each other's bold idea-to use ice to build ships, not relying on the seeds of

spirit trees and wind to quickly approach the enemy ship, and then engage in a

face-to-face "jumping gang war", this The combat plan completely exceeded the

two men's imagination.

If the ice boat is loaded with explosives and directly made into a "mobile

cannonball", it will be easier for Jinxia City. Xia Fan can even let the

islanders control it so that he doesn't have to take any risks. Although

sending the clansmen to send the high priest to death and he would be

unbearable, as long as he said that "sacrifice one person to save the boat",

Pang Ting believed that many people would definitely accept it.

But in order to save more elves, he chose another more complicated strategy.

If it succeeds, the benefits will be great, but correspondingly, Jinxiacheng

itself has to take no small risks.

Not to mention that this person does have the ability to turn this idea into

reality.

Whether it is magic, knowledge, courage and ambition, it seems too terrifying

at this age-this is human beings, a race that is not known for age. Pang Ting

had never seen such an outstanding character in an islander. The only thing

fortunately was that the other party was not born in the empire and is now an

ally of Noah.

He knew well that after this battle, this person's reputation in Shuzhou would

surely reach an unprecedented height, and this is what the other party is

conspiring. In theory, as Noah's patriarch, he should try to avoid letting

outsiders dominate the affairs of the boat, but the other party's methods are

extremely correct, and he can't even pick out a flaw. Even putting aside the

factor of the patriarch, Pang Ting has no shortage of respect for this person,

not to mention the other Shuzhou islanders, from a personal point of view.

This is why he has mixed feelings.

It would be great if this person is an elf.

...

On the east city wall, two figures surreptitiously poked their heads out, one

of them raised the observation mirror and pointed it at the direction of the

ice ship.

"Sister Mo Yun, let's go down, it's too dangerous here." Luo Youer said with

all concerns. Even if it started to drizzle, the enemy's artillery attacks

never stopped. Whenever the cannon sounded, she could even catch the

projectile passing over her head with her naked eyes. In case the black iron

ball fell on the top of the city wall, she really didn't know if she could

protect Girl Mo with a single hand of Sunda.

This was also the temporary task Xia Fan gave her-to act with Mo Yun during

the war, and don't let her go too aggressively.

At the beginning, she didn't understand how the icy-faced head of the

Machinery Bureau could be aggressive, and now she understood.

"It doesn't matter, the enemy is aiming at the house behind the city. There is

no defensive force on this wall, and they won't care." Mo Yun said

motionlessly.

Boom-哐 \-!

Before she could finish her words, an iron ball flew slightly lower, and when

she crossed the city wall, she just brushed past the wall, exploding a large

group of broken bricks fifty steps away from the two of them.

"Flick, whisk the willow technique!" Luo Youer quickly aroused a gust of wind,

blowing away the splashing stone chips. "Look, isn't it very dangerous! If it

goes a little bit further, we have to stick to the city wall!"

"It's just an accident. According to probability theory, it is difficult to

happen again in a short period of time." Mo Yun's eyes never left the looking

glass.

"Sister Mo Yun, can't we go down into the city wall? There are also

observation holes there."

"There is no way to see the first scene of the ice ship battle below." Mo Yun

vetoed without hesitation, "Do you know what moment is the most important

thing to miss as a mechanic?"

"Uh..." Luo Youer replied casually, "The moment when the mechanism is

completed?"

"No, it was the moment when it was actually used as a physical object. This is

also the only criterion for measuring the value of an institution." Mo Yun

wiped the rain from his forehead. "Every institution teacher wants his own The

work can be popularized and shine. As a producer of the war organization, I

naturally have to witness its effectiveness on the battlefield."

"But the ice boat... isn't it made of a living dead man-made?"

"Not bad. But the design of the hull and the core propulsion device are all

done by the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering." She said here, her voice

suddenly dropped a bit, "Of course I don't deny that the ideas provided by Xia

Fan are also good for me. It's very helpful..."

After skipping this paragraph, Mo Yun raised his tone again, "Did you know,

these ships are definitely cross-age creations! They do not rely on sail

power, they are driven entirely by the sky moving instrument and gear sets,

and the propellers-the propellers? When the piece is made into a curved

surface, it can use rotation to generate propulsion. It's a genius idea!"

"Moreover, thinking is not enough. This system requires all-steel casting.

Wood, bronze and pig iron are not enough to support its running strength.

Steel is not easy to obtain, let alone processing it into shafts and gears.

This is by no means a blacksmith. What can be done with both hands can only be

done with knives, grinding tools and cutting tools that are also driven by the

Tiandong instrument."

"In other words, it needs a large-scale agency, a large number of people who

are not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, manufacturers who need to

master basic skills and mathematical theory, and those who are willing to

invest in these expenses. And a person in charge who can integrate various

resources."

"Therefore, in the entire Daqi, only Jinxia Machinery Manufacturing Bureau can

make it." Mo Yun paused, "You said, such an outstanding mechanism creation,

how can I miss the important moment of its debut on the battlefield?"

Luo Youer was dumb for a while.

She suddenly realized that she might be wrong.

Sister Mo Yun is not alone and cold. UU reading www.uukanshu. com, she just

doesn't want to spend more time talking about things that she is not

interested in.

When it comes to things that she cares about, she turns out to have a lot of

words, at least as long as Luo who urges her to study.

The soil thief really gave herself an arduous task, Luo Youer thought

bitterly, now she can only hope that the probability theory that Mo Yun said

is correct.

...

When the ice ship approached within two miles of the imperial fleet, the huge

Invincible had already turned halfway to completion. Although it was less

graceful and surplus, it at least resolved the fleet's greatest crisis.

The strike range of the front half of the gun has been able to cover the

incoming target!

"Let the gunner shoot freely," Lord Tural said in a cold voice.

The order was issued quickly. The top twelve-pounder and the middle twenty-

four-pounder were the first to fire. With the rapid roar, the pungent smoke

immediately covered the side of the Invincible, and dozens of shells roared

towards Fly away with the Jinxia ice boat!
