Chapter 139
Stars twinkled in the night sky.

There is a large piece of light moving along the northern coast of Blackwater Bay.

The reflection on the sea surface, the beam of light shining directly into the sky, and the staggered rays of light pointing obliquely in all directions woke up the residents on the shore.

People sleeping in their own fishing boats or offshore huts opened their eyes blindly, endured the discomfort, and tried their best to spy on the abnormal light on the sea, so as not to be swallowed up by the sudden disaster without knowing anything.

Fortunately, the channel where the light is located is not close enough to appear to be a danger to the coast, and it is not far enough to allow people to see the general scene there.

An endless stream of ships.

With full sails and bright flags, majestic black deer stand on the golden curtain, glaring ahead.

The source of the beams of light that illuminate the dark night is the mast above the stag's head.Lookout.

This is the fleet of King's Landing.King's fleet blessed by the gods.Many people understand the current situation, and the king's fleet is dispatched!To whom?

Someone tried to count the number of passing ships with the naked eye.

But obviously he has concentrated his energy, and obviously every ship is so dazzling, but he always misses a few ships inadvertently, and finally blurs the specific number, and can only stare blankly at the fleet gradually going away.

There must be several hundred ships.Unwilling and excited guessing, people lay back on their beds or bilges.

It's a pity that the drowsiness has long been dispelled by the shocking scene, and people have to look up and stare at the stars in the night sky, hoping that the twinkling stars can bring back tiredness and make people have a good dream.

Gods bless.

……

The exact number is three hundred and one.

Three hundred wooden ships and one steel warship.

Wooden boats are easy to build.The blueprints of the ships are complete and rich, and there are so many ready-made imitation objects in the royal fleet, the work of the warlocks is undoubtedly quite easy.

As long as there is enough wood, the original royal fleet can be doubled several times without any problem, and there is no need to add magic runes.

But wood is not the only limitation, sailors and supplies are more scarce than wood.

After comprehensive consideration, the fleet of Junlin Port has been rebuilt and newly built to 6000 ships, with a gross tonnage of [-] tons and a fixed crew of [-].

Coupled with the 1 guards who will land on the coast, as well as logistics, intelligence, medical, production, construction and other personnel, the total number of personnel on the fleet is about [-].

This huge fleet is already the maximum that King's Landing City can afford.

Recruit skilled sailors and reliable captains, prepare supplies, weapons and special props, prepare intelligence, arrange personnel, boost morale, and promote guidance.

Being able to do this successfully in one day is all due to the institutional innovations in King's Landing during this period.

For other forces, I dare not even think about it.

In one day, the two hundred ships of different sizes in King's Landing Port became three hundred high-quality warships, equipped with sufficient sailors and soldiers, and sailed to the sea together.

Joffrey wanted to see Renly's face when he received the news right now.

It must be wonderful.

What's more, there is this unique flagship, the huge "Divine Grace" made of steel, and it is not driven by sails.

I'm afraid this ship is more awe-inspiring than fire and healing.

You must know that not only is the continent of Westeros long and narrow, with interlaced rivers and seas, life and trade are closely related to the sea.

The free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea rely more on shipping and fleets.

When the news of the steel battleship spreads, the princes of the Seven Kingdoms, the governor and maharaja of the Free Trade City, Braavos Sea King and other forces will definitely not be able to calm down.

Cannon giant ship.

Joffrey is so confident that he can conquer the Seven Kingdoms and the world with just a huge cannon and a giant ship!
The "God" is not only the beginning and the beginning, but also a test object for accumulating experience and data.Future warships will step on its shoulders towards a higher peak.

Joffrey looked at Qyburn at the side, the old man was holding a data sheet and whispering engrossedly.

After several hours of voyage, various data of the "Shen En" and the consumption of various devices have been preliminarily summarized.

As of now, the average speed of the entire fleet is eleven knots, or about twenty kilometers per hour.

The same is true for the speed of the "God".

For this reason, it consumes 20 units of fire magic energy and 50 units of solid magic energy per hour on average.

There is no doubt that if the speed of the ship is doubled, the consumption speed of the two types of mana will also be greatly increased, even far more than doubled.

This kind of consumption is not too big for Joffrey now.

The self-sufficiency of the battleship can be guaranteed by paying the rune energy to create hundreds of crusades, and ten battleships can be produced by adding rune energy in a day.

but.

Compared with hundreds of living jihadists who can continue to cut leeks, is the steel warship really a more valuable choice at this time point?
Fortunately, there is a more perfect solution.

Let the crew of the battleship become a holy war army, and just continue to inject mana into the battleship every day, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, this is ultimately only a temporary measure during the transition period.For a more secure and stable combat power, runes without thoughts and feelings are undoubtedly more suitable.

Cobain's murmurs grew wilder and more obsessive.

Joffrey knew that Qyburn was looking for a more perfect battleship structure.

The energy contained in 20 units of fire magic energy is much greater than the actual energy consumed by the battleship, that is to say, the useless loss of the power system is astonishing.

50 units of strong mana reveals a more serious problem: it is difficult for a battleship to exist on its own.

Every point of strong mana refers to a flaw or loophole, representing that it has resisted a breakage, disintegration or even an explosion.

As an initial model, this is also an unavoidable problem.

Keben's task is to collect data on warships and mana consumption, analyze research questions, and find better answers.

The abilities of the warlocks gave Cobain a lot of room for trial and error and improvement.

Just sitting in the cabin, Joffrey could clearly feel the changes in the battleship under the hands of Qyburn and the warlocks.

From the sailing of the fleet until now.

Cobain has changed the structure of the boiler seventeen times, the shape of the turbine blades of the steam turbine twelve times, the transmission system eight times, and the propeller fifteen times.

And all the positions on the hull that consumed solid magic energy have also been changed multiple times.

Almost entirely brute force.

But overall, the consumption of mana is slowly decreasing.

Thinking optimistically, by the time the fleet arrives at Storm's End, the mana consumption of the "Divinity" may be reduced by half.

four days.

Cobain has a lot to do.

"His Majesty."

Joffrey looked towards the door.

Melisandre, the red-robed woman, gradually approached with her waist swaying, "The Lord of Light ordered me to come and serve you."

Cobain exited the room.

Before accepting the Lord of Light's gift, Joffrey gave orders to Beric Dondarrion of Cape Marseille and Thoros the Red Priest.

"Arrive at Stone Dance City before sunset tomorrow and join the fleet."
