Extraordinary Sailing

　　 Seemingly sparkling, but the temper is not much better than the Treasure Sea of ​​the Black Sea.

　　 A fleet of 23 large and small ships dominated by battleships, in a two-column formation to ride the wind and waves and travel south along the established route.

　　 It's just that the flags flying on the masts obviously did not come from one family. The fleet is dominated by Falettis and Tyrol, with the flags of Palos, Thessaly, and Tulip Principality scattered.

　　 looks mighty and majestic on the surface, but there is a sense of sight of a miscellaneous army.

　　 Because this time the opponent is not a pirate, but Hilius, the world's largest power.

　　 The senior leaders of the alliance are very clear that sending low-level warships to war is just to send food. For this reason, they have launched all the war potentials, but the battleships that can be deployed in a short time are basically here.

　　 The Tulip Alliance is located in the archipelago composed of six island countries, unlike those land-based countries, which have a vast continent as the depth. Everything about them comes from the ocean, and they can only rely on the ocean.

　　 Therefore, the alliance's will to develop navy and maritime trade is also the most resolute. Among them, the thriving national power Falitis is the most.

　　 However, even if Falettis, who is the number one in the league, has the ambition to replace it, the gap between them and the first power is still obvious.

　　 There is not only a gap in the number of ordinary battleships, but also the quasi-legendary battleships of top power.

　　 Although the colony of Hilius in the Southern Continent is not very large, because of the rich mineral and vegetation resources, there are two quasi-legendary ships all year round. And the total of the six countries of the Tulip Alliance, there are only two ships in the southern continent, the "Northland Cold Wind" and the "Five Mast Peak".

　　 So, for them, this is a war that can only be won but not lost. The great cause of the Hilius family may be able to lose, but they simply cannot.

　　 If it fails, the navy as the kingdom's barrier will have to regress for at least ten years, and maybe even decades later, there will be no chance to shake the Sea Power Throne of Hilius.

at this time.

　　 As the flagship and pilot ship of the "Longtail Sparrow" Class III ship.

　　The most experienced navigator uses sextants, marine chronometers, compasses, charts and other navigation tools to accurately determine the course from time to time to ensure that the fleet will not yaw.

　　 Although the celestial phenomena of the treasure sea are equally dangerous, because generations of navigators have forgotten their lives, the navigation between the two continents is very common today, two hundred years after the opening of the great voyage.

　　 And the route from the Tulip Alliance countries to the Southern Continent cannot bypass Ilya in any case, let alone the Garriott family who opened this route.

　　 In other words, the current Falitis Galiot family is more suitable.

　　 With the fame of that Brigadier General Galliot.

That name that seems to have been buried in history, except for the scholars and professors who bury the old paper, adventurers and navigators who fought in unknown areas, in the navy of the Kingdom of Falitis, no one knows. .

　　Especially the navigator who also came from "Newin Harbor" under the kingdom's first fleet, this is even more clear. And he also knew that the passengers who boarded before the departure of the fleet had a lot to do with Garriott, but...

　　 "Oh, it's a pity Colonel Gehr..."

　　 Putting down the brass telescope in his hand, the weathered old officer couldn't help sighing even though he had been fighting for a long time.

　　 The center of the fleet is a large supply ship.

　　 Ten thousand meters above the supply ship, a huge albatross with a wingspan of nearly ten meters circled the fleet like a small plane.

　　喳喳喳...

　　 The six pure white seagulls on the supply ship, which are much larger than ordinary seagulls, stand in a row on the sails of the mainmast.

　　 On the deck under their feet, a young girl with a clean and ethereal temperament in a white dress, like a spring water, slowly retracted the slender right hand that was blooming with white light.

　　 "Alive, Babu is alive!"

　　 "Long live Miss Angel!"

　　"....."

　　 Watching the companion lying on the deck slowly open his eyes, the surrounding sailors could not help but burst into cheers. He had just suffered from body burning, vomiting, cramps, heart palpitations, red skin, and half awake. At this time, he completely regained consciousness.

　　 According to their experience, being stung by a blue beard jellyfish will die of acute internal organ failure in less than three minutes. But three minutes can't wait for the priests on the next Tier 3 battleship to be treated.

　　 If it weren't for the girl to shoot, Babu would definitely die.

　　 "Let him drink more water these two days, there will be no sequelae."

　　 The girl's voice is like a mountain spring, sweet and refreshing, but not cold at all.

　　 "Okay, thank you Miss An Qi."

　　 The crew are very grateful to the girl, even the captain and first officer on the supply ship who think they are about to usher in non-combat attrition.

　　 "You are welcome, you still need to take care of the rest of the journey."

　　As a born white witch, she possesses three talents: sacred, healing, and animal affinity. The bite and sting of an animal is nothing but a simple effort for An Qi.

　　 "You should, you should, if you need to say anything on board."

　　 In the fleet, warships may join the battle at any time. So Davli and his party, who were notified to go to the Southern Continent to meet Gehr for the last time, were arranged on the supply ship located in the middle of the fleet.

Da da da...

　　 When the girl turned around, the white skirt whirled like a lotus flower.

　　 The crew watched her all the way into the cabin with the best living conditions on the stern, still admiring her. If it were not for the robe and the holy emblem, they would even think that this was a saint of the church.

　　 Walking into the tail building, An Qi's eyes drooped slightly, and she lightened her footsteps.

　　 Through the round window, she could see Elantra wearing a rumpled shirt and practicing sword silently in the small cabin.

　　 gritted his teeth and his face was cold, as if facing an invisible enemy with every sword using his whole body's strength.

　　Where is the second-year boy in the past?

　　 In the next cabin, Davli, who put away all her colorful clothes, sat by the porthole and looked at the sea quietly.

　　 These days, she has lost a lot of weight, her shoulders are thin, and her chin has become a little bit thin because of her rich life.

　　 But since receiving the news of Geer's accident, Davli has not cried from beginning to end, but in An Qi's eyes, this situation is even more worrying than a cry.

　　 Obviously this sudden change has changed a lot of this originally warm home.

　　 "Auntie!"

　　 bit the cherry blossom-colored lower lip, An Qi, who was equally uncomfortable in her heart, held a bunch of tulips that she had spawned by witchcraft in her hand, and opened the door to walk in.

　　...

　　 After slaying the steel knight and returning to "Treasure Tree Bay", another week passed quietly in a blink of an eye.

　　 "The Horn of Storm" still did not arrive, Milan sent a message through the spirit world messenger that they encountered a hurricane halfway and delayed the trip, which may take two days.

　　 It is the manufacturing of electromagnetic weapons on Aiwen's side that has gradually improved.

　　 The best choice "Magnetite" is obviously not so easy to crack as the crystallization of a civilization.

　　 Even if Olivia, an official wizard of the gem school joins, on the premise that some technical materials have been harvested in the city, it will not be an overnight process to reproduce magnetite in the material world.

　　 Aiwen finally thought a little simpler.

　　 However, it is not completely unproductive. The two people worked together to create a transitional product.

　　 Natural gemstones belong to the hexagonal crystal system like magnetite, including apatite, beryl and blue cone ore.

　　 Olivia relied on the intuition of a gem school wizard to use the light blue "aquamarine" in the beryl as a substitute, and successfully reproduced part of the function of the "magnetite".

　　 is a kind of "extraordinary battery" with extremely high energy storage efficiency. Although there is no infinite energy, it is enough for the electromagnetic weapons currently produced by Aiwen, but he needs to store energy for the "battery" in advance.

　　 With this "extraordinary battery" as the core, Ivan used these few days to successfully produce the first prototype electromagnetic gun.

　　 The principle has already been figured out. For a wizard with extremely strong hands-on ability, it is not difficult to turn the theory into reality.

　　 There are two initial choices for Aiwen: electromagnetic railgun and coil gun.

　　 Their principles are different.

　　 Railgun is a magnetic field interacting with electric current to produce a powerful ampere force to push the projectile, reaching extremely high speeds

The 　　 coil gun uses multi-stage acceleration coils, and the magnetic field of the induced current interacts with the magnetic field of the acceleration coil current to generate Lorentz force, which accelerates the movement of the projectile and launches it.

　　In comparison.

　　The rails of the railgun will produce violent ablation, and the rails need to be replaced after a certain number of launches. And even if friction is ignored, the conversion of electrical energy and kinetic energy can only reach about 35%-50% because of energy efficiency.

　　The coil gun can avoid the mechanical contact between the projectile and the barrel through the magnetic levitation technology, which avoids the generation of frictional resistance. In theory, the coil gun can reach 100% potential, almost twice the efficiency of the railgun.

　　Also, what Irwin has already used is the latter technique.

　　 Although the structure is relatively complicated, he finally chose the "coil gun" as his first electromagnetic gun.

　　 means that it can be carried on board and held by hand

Because you don’t need to consider what you can carry, it looks like a huge revolving machine gun. The silver-white gun body has fine blue runes, the caliber is 23mm, and the barrel length is four meters. There are rings of golden external magnets. .

　　Considering factors such as electrical conductivity, difficulty in obtaining, and plasticity, the material used in this electromagnetic gun is pure silver enchanted by alchemy.

　　 When looting the golden post road before, there were still a lot of silver ingots left in his hands as ceremonial materials, and it was more than enough to build a machine gun.

　　The end is inlaid with a hexagonal crystal column "Aquamarine" battery from Olivia.

　　 At the same time as a plug-in, there is a pair of wristbands connected to countless wires, which can be manually operated at critical moments.

　　 And in order to increase the muzzle velocity, he used everything he could think of.

　　 External parallel uniform magnetic field: A horseshoe-shaped magnet mechanism with an iron core is added outside the barrel~www.ltnovel.com~ to allow the projectile to obtain a larger acceleration magnetic field.

　　 Increase the track: Because the end kinetic energy is proportional to the square root of the track length.

　　Using lightweight projectiles: With the same kinetic energy, the end velocity is inversely proportional to the square root of the projectile mass.

　　 For electromagnetic guns that need to be energized, there are two main types of ammunition, inert metal damage element and active damage element technology.

　　 Inert metal damage elements mainly include aluminum, steel, tungsten, etc., and can only destroy targets with the kinetic energy of high-speed flight.

　　 And the active destruction element technology not only has the mechanical strength similar to metal, but also contains the chemical energy equivalent to high explosives, and also has the safety similar to inert materials. It will explode only when it hits the target at high speed.

　　 is theoretically the highest quality electromagnetic artillery shell.

　　 "Unfortunately, I won't create active damage yuan!"

　　 After comprehensive consideration, Ivan finally chose an enchanted aluminum bullet with a lighter weight as the main ammunition of the electromagnetic gun, with tungsten steel.

　　 Even if there is alchemy, the aluminum that needs electrolysis is a precious metal comparable to gold and silver in this era, but in fact it is the metal element with the highest content in the earth's crust.

　　 In the future, others may think that every shot is extremely expensive and has great restrictions, but for Aiwen, it is actually the price of cabbage.

　　 So, after creating a big killer, he doubledly discovered a way to get rich.

　　 There are many ways to get rich, so leave him alone.

　　 Also as people who love guns, Ivan and Olivia felt around this silver-white machine gun, and they really couldn't put it down.

　　 Everything is available, they only have one question left:

　　 "Who should I give this hot first shot?"
