When the Shield of Ayr took Houyi and Xingtian so close to Ayr City, more and more ships appeared on the surrounding sea. Xiao Chen can see that this is a very busy port. Before they saw the shadow of the land, they encountered more than a dozen ships. The shipbuilding technology on this continent had already entered the steam era. Large and small ships sailed on the sea with smoke from the chimney.
Mao Kai checked the power system of the Ayr Shield. The ship uses a reciprocating steam engine. Although the structure is somewhat different from the reciprocating steam engine in the history of the earth, the principle is the same. The biggest difference lies in the fuel. The steam engine in the western continent can burn two kinds of fuel, one is naturally coal, and the other is the magic crystal. Xiao Chen asked Ballyvian. The power in this magic crystal is not. Not the power of the devil?
Ballyvian said, of course, that the Virgin believes that these spars are usable energy, then it is no problem. The same energy is dispersed in the world, and the witchcraft used by people to cast the devil is the power of the devil. Turning into a crystal and using it on an artificial machine is the energy that can be used. This energy is not intended for human use.
The main fuel of El Shield is spar, and the auxiliary fuel is coal. The former is more efficient and very economical, but coal is cheaper, so it generally burns coal when sailing in the distant seas, and when sailing in the offshore, Use spar. In case of bad sea conditions, spar will also be used to increase power.
According to Ballyvian, the power system of the Ayr Shield is not particularly advanced, and some more advanced warships and merchant ships have begun to use equipment similar to steam turbines.
This surprised Xiao Chen and others. They never thought that there would be a magical continent and a technological continent in the same world at the same time.
Houyi and Xingtian are two large sailboats in appearance. Such vessels have been gradually phased out in the western continent. In addition to the fishermen also using some small sailboats, the wooden sailboats are mostly small commercial chambers or pirates currently using.
Therefore, Houyi and Xingtian attracted the attention of many passing ships. But because they were led by the Shield of Al, there were no ships coming to ask, maybe they were just treated as a modified old ship of a certain chamber of commerce.
By this afternoon, the fleet was very close to the port. From the Hou Yi, you could vaguely see the land appearing between the sky and the sea. Now the sea surface also began to reveal reefs and small islands. At this time a huge ship approached in the distance.
"That's a warship." Ballivian used a word that Xiao Chen had never heard of. After confirming it with him, Xiao Chen understood that the term specifically refers to warships of this size. After observing the ship, he decided to turn it into a cruiser.
This ship obviously has thicker armor and larger and larger gun emplacements than the Earth warship in Xiao Chen's memory. The hull is about 178 meters long, but it is equipped with six main guns with a visual inspection of more than 200 millimeters, and nearly eight 200-millimeter double guns. This ship is like a hedgehog , Covered with dense barrels.
Ma Anmin, beside Xiao Chen, said: "I am going, is there a multi-turret cult leader who came to this place?"
Xiao Chen said: "When I saw this boat, why did I have a scalp tingling feeling? Feel like a kid in front of a strong man, and may be beaten at any time?"
"Should they not wear our shields?" Ma Anmin said.
auzw.com "Should be ..."
"You have to know that monsters of this level have never developed on earth, because the power is not enough, but the magic crystal is a very efficient power. So it can make such iron bumps run.
Such a ship is enough to play a very important role in World War I, no, not even World War II. "
"This is the Red Cloud, the flagship of the Ayr City fleet. The warship built six years ago is also one of the most powerful warships in some surrounding cities." Ballyvian was shocked to see these visitors from the Eastern Continent With a look, he proudly said, "This is not our biggest and most cutting-edge warship. I heard that the two newly built Battlecruiser and Chopper battleships are more than half the size of this ship, and their firepower has nearly doubled. If you do n’t use the power of the devil, you ca n’t compete with such a guy.
Ma Anmin said: "No, you don't understand that in my hometown there are much stronger warships than these. The two you see are just things we bought temporarily for modification."
He said to Xiao Chen: "If you can get this ship, or even that wave breaking wave, and then carry out our magic modification, it will definitely become a much stronger weapon than the Hou Yi."
Xiao Chen said: "Yes, if my guess is correct, we may not have such cooperation opportunities."
This cruiser, unlike other merchant ships, ignored the existence of the Houyi, but drove directly towards them.
Those fierce cannons adjusted their positions and locked the direction of Houyi and Xingtian.
Xiao Chen did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered two ships to prepare shields. Once these guns suddenly fired, they could instantly hit the hull of the Houyi, as long as the other party ’s technology for making shells was worthy of their shipbuilding technology. The shelling can send the Houyi to the sea. In this case, there is no time to open the shield. Xiao Chen didn't dare to take such a risk, so not paying attention might make the other party suspicious and raise the shield.
Two faintly visible spherical light curtains wrapped the two ships in it.
This move surprised the people on the battleship. They obviously did not understand what was going on. So while keeping their distance, they began to use the semaphore to contact Al's Shield and let them explain.
Ballyvian saw the banner and asked Xiao Chen: "Master Xiao Chen, the other party wants me to explain your origin. What should I say?"
Xiao Chendao: "You can tell them the truth, we are from the eastern continent, but are not subordinates of the gods or the devil. We came to the western continent to find an ally against the natural who is about to wake up. So please do n’t attack and take us To go to the port, we need to talk to the mayor of Ayr City. "
"Such a complex meaning, the slogan can't be expressed, let's tell them what happened here." The slogan played by Ballyvian told the people on the Red Cloud that they would send someone to explain the problem, and then put down a small boat, carrying The messenger crossed the red cloud.
