Chapter 279: Approaching Port Hope

Traceable and accountable.
Kane's belief in Hao God in Durness Bay is considered the latter.
Operating at a loss and falling into a dilemma. Loan because of too much faith.
He had expected it, but he chose to let go of it.
What if it's not like this? Those people desperately need miracles to save.
If there is no miracle, one third will die, the disability will eventually account for more than half of the total number of survivors, and the medicine will be exhausted in a very short time.
With the surviving tens of thousands of people and so much cumbersomeness, even if the supplies in Durness Bay are piled up like mountains, they cannot be effectively used in a short time.
The result is all dead.
It is precisely because people understand this vaguely that they are extremely pious, because there is no other way but to ask God to worship Buddha.
Kane was unwilling to give people a false hope, and even more so he gave it to himself.
As a result, no one knew that Kane had shouldered his shoulders at once, similar to the risk of a broken capital chain. Since the rule of allowing faith borrowing was issued, it appeared.
Of course, it is a good thing for believers to have a high level of piety, but this is a test of reserve power.
Does Kane have it?
No. He is still waiting for the power of faith to come up and transform into divine power before he can confer divine magic.
However, believers cannot wait.
Life is dying and urgent treatment is needed. Disasters occur frequently and time is precious.
How to do?
There is no good way, Kane can only gamble.
The purpose of gambling people's belief in borrowing and lending is mainly focused on curing the wounded and strengthening their physique.
Because if this is the case, the life soul energy he harvested before, especially the life energy, can replace the healing divine art and distribute it, and the divine power transformed by the power of belief he harvests is used to deal with a small amount of other types of divine needs.
If the gambling is lost, the Hao God belief may not be directly bankrupt, but from the perspective of revenue and expenditure, he is more likely to lose money.
Because it meant that the rescue was not completed as he expected, and it was still a situation of insufficient labor and a lot of burden. People are expected to die within the next two months. His investment behavior is tantamount to failure.
Fortunately, from the current trend, he has won.
However, the reserve of extraordinary power is still tense, and he does not know whether he can withstand the subsequent consumption.
There are more than one hundred thousand survivors in Deness. The God of Hao belief is expanding at a critical moment, and it is expanding rapidly. Driven by the instinct of chasing human nature, more and more people have completed self-brainwashing Believe in God.
Every day, a large number of believers cross the piety level 3 loan line.
Of course, it is not a creditor who chooses to borrow as soon as the rank is sufficient. The tide of frostbite healing has basically passed. But the dangerous period has not passed.
He learned through the belief system that the people there set up a self-rescue organization headed by a priest, and the remaining power of the officials and nobles has been completely wiped out. The best thing to say is this self-rescue organization called the Faith Society.
They have begun to build a refuge, the first part is to repair the energy tower, and use it intensively.
Using energy towers with overlapping thermal radiation ranges is indeed a good way to deal with climate disasters. However, natural disasters will not wait for people to arrive before they are ready.
Therefore, before people establish a minimum self-protection system, luck is really important.
Kane knows that once the natural disaster strikes again, there will be a large wave of loans, and there will be many necrotic accounts. Therefore, his faith management is quite difficult. You have to keep some deposits to prevent sudden expenditures.
In this context, he is not too afraid to go to Iceland.
The purse does not bulge, this is suitable for most of the lords.
Without entering Iceland, Kane chose to transform a fearless ship named Prestige that was frozen in the sea more than 100 nautical miles south of Iceland.
The dreadnought ship of the original world was launched in 1906. This world appeared earlier due to the steam black technology.
Seriously, some of the indicators and design of this fearless ship are actually only equivalent to the level of the former fearless class, commonly known as the armored ship, but others are sharper than the super fearless. Kane has compromised. Call them fearless ships.
The Dreadnought is the current main battleship of Britain. Like this Prestige, it has a displacement of 22,000 tons. It is a big guy. Kane is also taking this point into consideration. It is no problem to transform it to accommodate the next train of heaven.
Prestige encountered bomb cyclones, antennas, chimneys, bridges, and even turrets, all of which were damaged to varying degrees. The ultra-low temperature also completely blocked it, causing it to be trapped on the ice, as if it was welded to death.
In this sea area, there are quite a few ships similar to the situation of the Prestige, and the members of the ship have naturally disembarked on foot and escaped.
Due to the climate here, it will be an arduous choice to move forward before breaking the ice. Kane decided to let it sink first, and then walk to the bottom of the sea that has not been frozen.
In order to transform the Prestige Dreadnought into a Prestige submarine, Kane had to make more soul steel.
This time it was to use his family. Fortunately, there were enough high-quality metals on the reputation, and the power of his harvesting soul was also very sufficient.
Day and night transformation, Tie Zhu showed his talents, and brain puppets played the role of senior mechanics, four days and five nights, the transformation was completed.
The original prestige was eventually retained more completely, that is, the hull, not including the top.
In fact, even this hull has quite a lot of changes, such as the bow, and then the keel, even the inside of the ship's wall is etched with a magic array. After all, Kane's requirement is to dive 1000 meters, the original reputation of the ship's wall It ’s not good enough, mainly because the material is not good.
The transformed reputation is not like the appearance of the early submarines, and it is also different from the submarine-like submarines of the later generations. It is like changing the splint of the battleship into a shuttle-shaped cover with a curved radius.
It has fin fins, dorsal fins, and caudal fins, but it does not have a control tower or pilot house. After all, it is semi-magical and semi-scientific.
In addition, the miniature nuclear reactor carried by Kane was enough to drive the iron pillar, but not enough to meet the needs of the Prestige.
In addition, the equipment of the Department of Science and Technology is too complicated, especially high-precision parts, which cannot be manufactured by the deformation of the current iron column. Moreover, the components of a submarine are not all steel, and the properties of some components are not as hard as steel. of.
In Kane's view, this is actually the performance of backward technology.
Why is it that complex, high-precision is backward? Because the true brilliance is to reduce complexity to simplicity.
Mass-energy conversion machine, atom-level deconstruction and holographic printing spray gun, super quantum computer. The world with the highest commander only needs to carry an engineering vehicle that combines these three technologies to travel through the universe.
Magic is magical because it achieves a similar effect in another way.
Therefore, as long as they are willing to pay for resources, the magic furnace replaces the nuclear reactor, the magic array replaces the engine, the reputation not only has propeller propulsion, but also jet boost and cavitation-like technology, which allows the submarine's cruising speed to reach an astonishing 45 knots.
Under the influence of magic, the hard ice of the hull of the prestige lock Prestige is turned into an ice blue flame burning. Science explains that magic decomposes the hard ice into hydrogen and oxygen, so it is actually hydrogen that is burned.
The reputation was slowly sinking in the flames, and when it rose again, it was already an unnamed bay in northeastern Greenland.
The bay is unnamed, the port is famous, Hope Port, one of the two large deep-water ports built by the British in northern Greenland.
To say that Britain in this era is worthy of a sunless empire, even if there is no wealth from East Asia and South Asia, it is still strong in national strength. Especially when the dignitaries who have real wealth are investing at no cost, many miracle projects have been realized in a short period of time, including this Port of Hope.
only……
Kane touched his chin, looking suspiciously through the magic window, watching the port scene captured by the drone.
This port was abandoned.
Port towns, streets, docks, and ships docked in an orderly manner were buried by ice and snow. No one was cleaning them up, and no pedestrians could be seen. It seemed that they had been abandoned for some time.
What happened?
Kane thought for a moment and decided to take care of his own affairs first.
It's easy to say, just choose a suitable anchor point for the reputation.
Kane chose the ice cliffs on the side of the port.
On the coastline of Greenland, the most important thing is this kind of cliff formed by ice.
The bow of the Prestige ship made of Soul Steel undergoes unconventional deformation to form a huge flat drill.
Kane manipulated the brain puppet and etched the magic circle on the flat drill.
When the magic circle is activated, twelve rays of light erupt from the side of the drill bit, and six rays of light converge toward the center. Together they build an energy drill that far exceeds the hull.
The effect of cutting the ice with this drill bit is as if the reddish iron pierced the solidified butter block. There is no such feeling of lag. The drilling speed is always very fast. A large amount of steam is produced. From a distance, it seems that That ice wall is melting.
The giant ice tunnel over 300 meters deep has been excavated in less than a quarter of an hour.
Prestige quits, then reverses and drives in.
And then magically spawned solid ice, blocking the hole below sea level.
Immediately afterwards, the water was injected into the tunnel, using the buoyancy of the seawater to raise the reputation.
Then the ice base was built between the bottom of the ship and the bottom of the tunnel. This work is not difficult. You only need to draw a magic array at the specified position, and then you can quickly generate icicles through the strong endothermic effect in the area.
In this way, when the ice gate at the entrance of the tunnel is reopened, the water level will recede, the Prestige is erected by the icicle, and it also has a 7-degree tilt angle, which is naturally designed for easy launching.
In addition, a pier was built on the right side of the reputation.
The reason why it is so complicated is mainly because once Tie Zhu ends the joint state, it is equivalent to taking away the upper third of the front end of the reputation.
Without this alternative trailer head, if the reputation is in the water, it will sink the ship.
Kane wondered if it might be used in the future, so he didn't let it be destroyed.
In addition, the ship also contains the resources that Kane searched, but they are all extracted by magic, originally pulled by the train of heaven, the front of the iron pillar deformed can not be pulled away, it is a pity to discard , So there was this investment.
The tunnel entrance was re-frozen and a tunnel was opened diagonally to the top of the iceberg cliff.
After the iron pillar came out of the tunnel, Kane created the ice gate at the entrance, so that a large hidden berth was completely built.
By transforming the reputation of Soul Steel while transforming the reputation, the iron pillars that became larger became heavy trucks, loaded with some of the essence resources, and Kane came down from the top of the glacier and toured Lower Hawke Harbor.
The topographical features of the entire port are like estuaries of glacial rivers.
A long ditch, with cliffs on both sides, ranging from a dozen meters to tens of meters to over a hundred meters, the second height, the closer to the port, the higher the cliff, the lower the ground in the ditch.
On the side of the pier, a flared appearance suddenly appeared, with icebergs and cliffs on both sides, forming a natural high-quality deep-water port similar to the surrounding.
Not large, the span is 2.4 kilometers, and at the root of the trumpet, there is about 1.7 square kilometers of frozen soil. Many functional buildings in Hope Town are concentrated in this area.
After some exploration, Kane found that there wasn't even a grain left, and there wasn't even a tiny bit of material left in coal. The room was empty, and the furniture had been evacuated.
"This is too cruel!" Kane said: "Even the coal on the ship has been transported away ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I really don't plan to use these ships anymore? I have to know that there are still some time from the curtain of the sky. Do n’t take the opportunity to get more food from the ocean? "
Food, this is what Kane can't figure out the most.
Fleeing 5 million people in the north, it is possible to leave 3 million people out of the Faroe Islands and Iceland, and there are still 2 million people.
The cold weather consumes a lot of food. The average person consumes one kilogram of flour and half a catty of vegetables per day. That is 1,000 tons of flour and 500 tons of vegetables per day.
Britain has the world's largest shipping capacity in this era, but what about that? Anyway, he did not believe that enough ample food could be shipped in two years.
After all, the British have to build a refuge here, and more supplies have to be shipped.
So, why spend a lot of money to open this port on the east coast where the natural conditions are bad, but close the port early?
Especially the literal translation of the port name is ‘hope’. Does closing the port represent a severance of hope? This is too ironic.
