Chapter 29: Before sailing

Xiao Chen didn't have much fanfare to Luo Ling's "proposal", but many people noticed that they had an extra pair of rings on their fingers. Acquaintances congratulated each other, and others secretly paid attention. Most people know that Xiao Chen and Luo Ling are a pair, and now it is reasonable to get engaged.
What they didn't know was that in the world of the world, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling went to the gold shop together and ordered a pair of rings exactly like this one. The other two also contacted their parents to prepare for their parents' affairs.
However, in preparation for the fiery voyage, such "little things" quickly subsided.
Soon, the day of sailing arrived.
This morning, the dock near the shipyard was crowded with people, the sailors were moving the last fresh ingredients to the ship, and the soldiers were standing in front of an observation platform, and Xiao Chen was standing on the observation platform, preparing to hold the fleet departure ceremony.
Taking advantage of the gap before the ceremony, Xiao Chen looked at the two warships under the morning light again. Although these two warships were the result of everyone's efforts to transform, he spent more effort than others, and he could not even remember How many times have I made the models of these two ships, I only remember that they have changed a little bit from the first two wooden sailboats, and finally they have become what they are now.
The Houyi and Xingtian berthed in the temporarily built port of the shipyard, which was very eye-catching, like the scene reflected in the mirror.
They all have a silver-white hull that is unique in the world. Unlike the sail battleships of that world, they only wrapped the copper skin to the waterline. Both ships wrapped the entire hull and upper deck with magic alloy, even the deck. The upper superstructure and the mast also have silver-white metal frames to increase their strength. What is more exaggerated is that if you look closer, you will find that these metals are covered with fine magic words, connecting the entire ship into a continuous operation. Phalanx.
The original Sacred Sword and Sacred Shield had a displacement of about 1,200 tons. The modified Houyi and Xingtian had a displacement of 2,500 tons due to the metal skin and the addition of equipment.
The Holy Sword and Holy Shield originally had two decks. Before the transformation, their battle methods were mainly shooting crossbow arrows and side-to-side melee combat. After the transformation, the deck where the crossbow vehicle was originally installed was removed, and two more artillery decks were added.
It is not that Xiao Chen did not want to build a closed turret, but they did not have such time and technical reserves. Therefore, only the most typical artillery layout of the sail battleship can be used.
On the two artillery decks, two rows of 180 pneumatic guns were installed on each side of the hull. The total number of guns reached 40 on the bow and stern deck, although it was one less than the same tonnage in the history of the earth. The class sail ship has a lot less artillery. However, the shells of high-energy explosives are not comparable to the solid shells of the sail battleship smoothbore gun, let alone the magical crossbows on the holy sword.
If it is to be used against ships like the southern city-state or the Hai tribe, such firepower is purely superfluous. However, considering that there are many unknown enemies in this world, such as the legendary sea monsters, or the superpowers, it is not surprising to configure firepower in this way.
Besides, China Tower does not have experienced naval gunners. All the gunners were selected from the army. The live ammunition in the exercise was very choking, so if you really fight, you need to use quantity to compensate for the quality. In this world, artillery shells can be installed in storage props without too much load, so this number of gun positions were designed.
Now all the gun doors are closed, Hou Yi and Xing Tian seem quiet and graceful, but they will show their ugly face when fighting.
auzw.com However, these are not the most distinctive of these two ships. The core secret of these two ships daring to cross the raging sea is that they are placed in the middle of their second deck A white cone. That thing is more than one person tall, it can be judged by people, it has no flaws in itself, and it can't see any trace of splicing. It is connected to the legal array that runs through the entire battleship, and it is precisely the space stabilizer made by the transformation of He Xiaoxi's time shuttle. He Xiaoxi split her artifact into two and placed it on two ships. At the cost of the destruction of the artifact, he gave the two ships the ability to sail in extremely harsh environments.
There are many novelties on this ship that other ships do not have. For example, the house of the star trails from the Star Tower can be navigated day and night according to the astrology, such as the spar power room that can be used as supplementary power. Energy produces steam and propels the ship ’s propellers, such as a cold store filled with ice arrays, so that fresh food can be stored for a long time. For example, a warehouse equipped with a space compression array can load eight times the same volume. goods. There is also a transfer room equipped with a large transfer array, which not only allows the crew of the two ships to support each other, but also connects to cities on the mainland when the distance is close enough and the space is stable.
Xiao Chen also secretly compared the two ships with the modern ships in the original world. Although they used different methods, they still restored a considerable part of the functions of modern ships.
The sailors sent the last batch of materials to the ship, transported them into the ice storage, and then came to the observation platform to participate in the oath meeting.
Xiao Chen looked at more than a thousand people below, including sailors, naval soldiers, marines, and professionals, as well as masters of magic and martial arts. He said, "Everyone, you are all warriors carefully selected by our Tower of China.
Most of you have been fighting at the Tower of China for several years, and have proven their loyalty and bravery in various fields. There are also some people who joined us in less than a month, but you have also passed through layers of screening and testing before you can stand here.
Since we are about to get on the same boat, we are fellow citizens and brothers in the same boat. I want to tell you our destination to let you know how important you are in carrying out a mission. What you have done afterwards, for How important human beings will be to this world. "
Although some of the people present vaguely knew the purpose of this trip, no one knew the details of the actual action. At this time, listening to Xiao Chen said so, many people showed an excited look.
Xiao Chen said aloud, "I say you are warriors because you are about to embark on an extremely difficult and glorious road.
We are going to the Pearl Islands to find the ghost ship, we are going to cross the raging sea to the west continent, we are also going to the sea of ​​ice and snow to find the tower of forging soul. "
Every time Xiao Chen said a place, the people below would consciously exclaim, but only exclaimed, and no one showed fear and hesitation.
"We want to accumulate the strength that each point can accumulate to provide the first-line opportunities and possibilities for humanity to overcome the of nature.
And me, Xiao Chen will be at the forefront of you, no matter whether we are ushered in defeat or victory, I will continue to lead you forward! "
Xiao Chen took a breath and shouted, "Long live China Tower! Long live humanity!"
A wave of voices heard from the audience, "Long live China Tower! Long live humanity!"
