Volume 20 Chapter 6 New Ship

Facing many dumbfounded humans in the field, I asked directly: "Do you still want to compete? I allow you to arrange the number of people you want for the next game. It doesn't matter even if everyone comes together. "

After Ling translated what I said, the group of cannibals on the opposite side all looked at me blankly, and then they suddenly crossed their hands in front of their chests and leaned over and shouted a sentence together like me. Ling told me this was a sign of their loyalty.

The concept of these cannibals is to obey the strong, so after I proved my bravery, they immediately changed their attitude towards me. If people without strength are arrogant in front of them, it is provocation, but if people with strength are arrogant, that is what they should do. This is their concept.

After these cannibals were convinced, the next thing was much simpler. First, the group leader issued an order to summon all the nearby pure cannibals so that they could return to Isengard with me later. The main target of this mission, the golden right foot, was quickly obtained by me with the help of the cannibal leader. Of course, this thing had to be given to Uso. As for the group of people who came with Uso, I originally thought that these people were all dead, but I didn't expect that they were not dead yet. Later, when I asked, I found out that these cannibals actually have a very disgusting habit of making artefacts made from the skulls of their enemies and carrying them with them to demonstrate their strength. Although this group of people was killed, they were not killed yet because they needed to prepare production tools and auxiliary materials. After that, as a strong man, I asked them for these prisoners, and naturally I successfully rescued them.

When I handed over the gold right foot I obtained to Uso, the holder of the national weapon, Uso immediately put on the gold right foot. However, at the moment when his national weapon was formed, all the components of the national weapon on his body suddenly lit up at the same time, and then a current suddenly emitted from all over her body and gathered towards her chest. Finally, when the current gathered at one point, A light bullet suddenly came from his chest and hit mine directly.

Since I didn't expect Uso to attack me, I had no defense at all. In addition, the electric current gathered so fast that I was hit before I even had time to react.

Seeing that I was being attacked, the surrounding cannibals immediately cheered and gathered around, taking out their weapons and preparing to attack Uso and the others. After all, they were my people now, so there was no reason not to help when they saw me being attacked. However, just when they were about to attack, I suddenly stopped them.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's not an attack. This is not an attack."

When the light bomb formed by the electric light hit me, I thought I was being attacked by a sneak attack, so I took several steps back in order to dodge, but when the light bomb actually hit me, I Only then did I realize that I didn’t get any hint of being attacked, and I didn’t feel like there was anything wrong with me.

After stopping the cannibals, I took a closer look at my attributes, and found that my dragon suit actually had a new attribute - agility.

It is said that agility is a basic attribute. Each player's basic attribute points include strength and agility. However, I have never seen agility listed separately in the equipment column as a special attribute before. inner. After carefully checking this attribute, I finally figured out the function of this attribute.

So the agility attribute can actually be split into two more specific attributes, one is hit, and the other is dodge. To put it simply, when I attack the enemy, the hit rate will be higher, and there is almost no possibility of being dodged by the enemy. Of course, this attribute is not of much use to me. After all, I rarely miss when killing people. However, the dodge at the back is more awesome. The effect of this dodge is to increase the probability of dodge. In fact, it is to automatically control my body to dodge the enemy's attack, and the effect is very good. After adding this agility attribute to my basic agility, the agility attribute is the same as my basic agility attribute. Quite a few people can achieve almost 100% miss.

I'm over 2,100 levels now, and my agility value is already high, plus my basic attributes are more than twice as high as others, so the higher the level, the wider the gap between me and the average person. . Calculated based on the attribute values ​​​​of ordinary players, even if this person is an assassin who relies exclusively on agility attributes, he must reach a level that is 1.5 times mine to ensure that the agility attributes are equivalent to mine.

What is the concept of 1.5 times the level? The concept is that when I am more than 2,000 years old, the opponent must reach level 3,000 before our agility attributes will be equal. This is assuming that the opponent is an assassin. If he meets a mage player, he will be promoted to level 3,000. A level 10,000 mage may not have as much agility as I do at level 2,000. Of course, even if my agility is zero, a level 10,000 mage who throws a random range of magic is enough to kill me in seconds. Unfortunately, I am currently number one on the level list, and I am better than the 10,000-level mage. The second one is a lot taller, so it is absolutely impossible to surpass me in agility. Of course, just because the agility is not as good as mine, it does not mean that you will never be able to hit me, it just means that the hit rate will be very low.

In any case, it is certain that this agility attribute is very awesome, but there is actually another aspect of this attribute that is even more awesome, that is, it is not a purely personal attribute, but a national war attribute.

The attribute carried on the national weapon for the whole country is the national war attribute, and the attribute I got is actually the national war attribute. What is the concept? This will mean that as long as there is a battle in which I participate, our side All members of the team will be assisted by agility attributes. By then, even the mages in our guild will be as flexible as warriors. During World War II, they might be as agile as assassins. As for assassins, they are no longer pursued by ordinary people. Got it.

After seeing the newly acquired attributes, I took this group of cannibals and Uso and the others back to the city where Uso and the others were. After saying goodbye to Uso, the others and their boss, I took the large group of cannibals to borrow The teleportation array in the city was sent to a seaport city in Brazil. The main reason why I came here was because it was inconvenient to use other means of transportation to leave with more than two thousand people, so I could only use the boat to take them all. Back to Isengard. If you want to take a boat, you need a port, and the largest port in Brazil is the harbor where we are now.

\"President, aren't we going back to the headquarters? What are we doing here?\" The cannibal clan leader asked me in fluent Chinese. Regarding this guy's language talent, I have to say that it is really awesome. Listen. Looking at this guy's standard Mandarin, who would have thought that he couldn't understand Chinese an hour ago? On the way from the village where the cannibals lived to the city where Wuso and the others were, the leader asked me to learn Chinese Our language request. Of course I would not refuse this request. Unexpectedly, after an hour, all of them could speak fluent Mandarin. I can only understand that this race is born with the ability to learn multiple languages. talent, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fact that they learned Chinese so quickly.

Listening to the question asked by the patriarch, I explained directly: "When I came here, I flew directly on my flying magic pet. However, my magic pet can only bring a few people, and you two thousand people are too many." So I can only find a ship and you can transport it back.\"

"Oh, that's it. But is our guild's ship big enough? There are more than two thousand of us? I'm afraid it can't fit in an ordinary ship, right?"

"Don't worry about this. The ship coming this time is very big, and there is more than one."

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

Less than twenty minutes after I finished communicating with the clan leader, a black shadow appeared on the sea in the distance. Players here in Brazil had already attracted a lot of attention when they saw me standing at the port with a large group of cannibals. If Uso and the others hadn't notified the city leaders here to see us off, I guess this would have been Someone started trying to attack the cannibals. After all, these cannibals appear as highly experienced monsters in the jungle, so many locals want to fight these cannibals when they see them. However, although they have no chance to take action now because of the guards blocking it, this does not prevent them from watching.

The cannibals were very disgusted with being watched like monkeys by these people, but because I was suppressing them, they could only endure it for now. However, just when the cannibals felt that they were about to lose control, the onlookers suddenly dispersed and crowded towards the pier.

As the crowd moved, the group of cannibals following me finally discovered the problem. I saw that the black spots in the distance were getting bigger and bigger, and their number was also increasing. Suddenly, one of the people suddenly shouted: "Oh, my God. That ship... that ship..." The man was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"Hey, what happened to that ship?" A player who knew the man patted him and asked.

The player who had been stuttering for a long time swallowed hard to stabilize his emotions before saying: "It's so big!"

"What's so big?" The player next to him still didn't react.

The player pointed into the distance and said, "Did you see a ship leaving in front of those black spots?"

The player next to him nodded and said, "I saw it. Isn't that the Kedar that just left the port?" At this point, the player suddenly reacted. He exclaimed, "Oh, my God!"

After being called out by him, the others next to him became even more suspicious. A more familiar player directly patted him and asked, "What are you surprised about?"

The player said excitedly: "Have you seen the Kedar?"

"Of course." The player next to him nodded and said, "That is the Kedar, the pride of our Brazilian Navy. But is there any problem with that?"

The player who was asked next to him excitedly explained: "Do you know how big Kedar is? But look now, the new ships on the opposite side are obviously farther away from us than Kedar, but you see, the shape they formed The black shadow has actually exceeded the size of Kedar! Do you know what this means?"

Anyone who says they don’t know this is an idiot. We all know the visual effect of being large near and small at a distance. Generally, the black shadow formed by a ship far away exceeds that of a nearby ship. This can only mean that the ship far away is much larger than the one nearby. However, the ship nearby is not just an unknown boat. It is the battleship Kedar, the pride of the Brazilian Navy, the largest and most powerful battleship in Brazil. However, the Kedar now looks like an ordinary boat against the black shadow in the distance, and as the distance between the two approaches, the size gap between them continues to expand. If there is only one such big ship, it is nothing, but there is not just one black shadow over there, but a large one. This is quite astonishing.

After figuring out the reason, everyone around them began to marvel at the huge black shadow in the distance. However, as those big guys continued to approach, everyone finally felt that something was wrong. On the distant sea, one of those warships has already passed by the Kedar, which means that the visual errors of the two of them should be the same at this time, so everyone can judge based on the volume of the Kedar at this time. It is estimated that the ship next to it is actually two times larger than the Kedar. Although one of the two sides has the bow facing the port and the other has the stern facing the port, so the length of the two cannot be seen, but judging from the width and From the height of the ship island, you can already find that the two are not on the same level at all.

The Kedar, which was originally parked in the port, has always given Brazilian players the feeling of being a giant. The ships that usually enter and exit the port are like toys in front of it. But now, although the Kedar does not look like a toy next to that ship, it looks so thin and small. There is no comparison between the two.

If the big ship is regarded as a battleship of ordinary tonnage, then the Kedar next to it looks like a light frigate or a heavy torpedo boat, but it is several sizes smaller anyway. "Zi Zi Zi... President Zi Ri." The person in charge of the city who was responsible for seeing us off looked at the super ship in front of him and stammered: "What... what kind of ship is this that came to pick you up?"

"Oh, this is a batch of super battleships that our guild has recently launched. As you know, liquefied magic crystal technology is now popular, and the battleships we used before are outdated and no longer meet the needs of modern warfare. Therefore, our guild In addition to towing all the previous warships for renovation, some new warships were also launched. These are the newly launched warships that came to pick us up this time.

They went to the United States to receive the weapons systems they had ordered before, and are now preparing to return and take us back. "Super battleship?" This... may I ask how big your super battleship is? "

"I don't know about this. I approved the shipbuilding project, but I didn't see the specific data, and I didn't pay attention to these ships during the construction process, so I don't know how big these ships are for the time being. In fact, with you Likewise, this is the first time I’ve seen them.”

What I said is the truth. I really don’t know how big this ship is, but compared with these Brazilian players, I am much calmer because I am different from them. I already knew that these ships would definitely be very big. big.

Yes, I haven't seen the specific parameters of the ship, but I have seen the design report. Because there is no suitable air strike force in the game, the aircraft carrier, which is very naughty in reality, actually has no big effect in the game. To put it bluntly, whether the aircraft carrier is powerful or not depends on whether the aircraft is powerful enough. Although there are flight skills and flying monsters in this game, the flying monsters are too slow and have little impact on the ground. They can only kill people, but they have to sink a few ships. , that is simply too difficult for someone to do.

Therefore, except for the Japanese who have experimented with the design of the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier, there have been almost no aircraft carriers using flying monsters as carrier-based aircraft, and it was later proved that the price-performance ratio of the Flying Dragon aircraft carrier is very poor, so it has been continuously The Japanese later became less sophisticated about this.

In addition to flying monsters, there are also man-made aircrafts, but are these capable... Anyway, they are not as reliable as flying monsters. Therefore, the design of carrying aircraft on battleships was stillborn. It can be said that without aircraft, there is no aircraft carrier, and the problem of air strikes cannot be solved. Then there is no need to talk about aircraft carriers. An aircraft carrier without qualified aircraft is just a transport ship.

However, the above are all in the past tense, at least in our guild. In terms of man-made aircraft, it has been proven that the anti-gravity device invented by the Germans is completely unsuitable for use as a power device for aircraft. Even if that thing is modified, it can only make an air transport or an aerial fortress like Essinger Mobile Fortress. Combat aircraft is not a project that anti-gravity devices can handle. However, with the low cost of magic crystal liquefaction and gasification technology obtained from the Russians, we can already manufacture jet thrusters powered by liquefied or gasified magic crystal.

This type of jet thruster is characterized by strong explosive power, fast speed, and flexible response, but its endurance is extremely poor and the additional cost is still high. However, despite these problems, jet thrusters are already practical. Moreover, as a guild that has always been at the forefront of the world, our guild has already had practical plans and put them into action. One of the most successful application cases is the jet thruster used on the Mobile Angel.

The air combat capabilities of the air combat type mobile Angels have been tested in actual combat, and the small size and high power characteristics of the liquefied magic crystal steam weapon also allow the mobile Angels to carry enough to cause damage to large ships with a limited load. The damaging explosive weapon means that the Mobile Angel actually has the ability to attack battleships.

Now we can say with certainty that the Mobile Angel is fully capable of acting as a carrier-based aircraft to perform anti-ship combat missions.

After the carrier-based aircraft is solved, the aircraft carrier will no longer be a problem. Since the Mobile Angel is an automatic weapon and can take off vertically, it does not require a pilot or a runway, nor does it require complicated logistics. Moreover, their size is not large compared to aircraft, so in theory, as long as it is With a certain carrying capacity, any ship can be used as a mobile angel mothership.

Precisely because of these performance characteristics of the Mobile Angel, our guild also added the Mobile Angel Mothership plan when we built new battleships. However, the game is different from reality after all. Although the Mobile Angel has the ability to attack ships, its cost is very high. Therefore, in fact, the Mobile Angel is only suitable for attacking ships, but not suitable for attacking ports. It’s not that they can’t get in, it’s just that the cost is not cost-effective. Although we in the Frost Rose Alliance are very rich, why should we spend a hundred yuan on something that can be done with ten yuan?

Finally, after comprehensively considering various in-game combat situations, we specifically asked General Wu to use his connections to find real-life professional naval officers to help us do a rough design analysis. The final conclusion was that in In this kind of war environment in the game, the most reasonable design is not a super mobile angel mothership filled with mobile angels, but a ship like the destroyer that is now popular in the navies of various countries.

A modern destroyer can be said to be a small joint strike platform. First of all, it has main guns and missiles, and can participate in direct sea battles. Secondly, modern destroyers are equipped with helicopters, and some have more than one, so they can be regarded as simplified versions of small helicopter carriers. Mobile Angels can take off and land vertically, so they are very similar to helicopters in tactical use. This determines that the destroyer-style joint strike platform is completely suitable for Mobile Angels.

Of course, the destroyer-like design mentioned here only means that it is similar to a destroyer in terms of armed equipment, rather than making the warship as small and light as a destroyer. After all, "Zero" is a game world dominated by magic, and there are real sea monsters in the ocean here. If the battleship is built to be the same size as a destroyer, if it encounters a sea monster or something, it will be completely ruined.

In addition to the sea monster problem, there is another problem in the game that affects the volume design of our battleships, and that is personnel.

NPCs that can command battleships are extremely rare, and they are non-renewable resources. They are gone when they die. There are slightly more players who can command battleships than NPCs, but they are definitely not hidden everywhere. After all, commanding a ship is not just riding a fox or strawberry bicycle, it is also a technical job. Therefore, if we build small boats, we may spend the same money to build a bunch of boats, but most of them will not be driven.

Therefore, in order to maximize combat power output and achieve the highest consumption ratio, the most reasonable solution is to make the warships high-quality. Concentrate all shipbuilding costs on a few ships as much as possible to make a single warship more capable of combat, which can generate maximum combat effectiveness.

Of course, this concentration also has a certain degree, which does not mean that if you concentrate all the costs to make a ship completely invincible. If the funds are too concentrated, there may be too few ships to focus on the east and west. Moreover, if the enemy raids at any cost, the losses will be very heavy. On the contrary, if there are too many ships and funds are dispersed, then there will inevitably be not enough sailors, and cheap ships often have a battleship. It can only be practiced after a long period of naval battles and guilds. If these people die and get injured too often, then you can never expect to train an NPC captain. Once this becomes a vicious cycle, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, locking is to allocate funds to the entire battleship according to the most reasonable ratio, so as not to make the battleship too weak, nor to make it too concentrated.

After having such a guiding ideology, our guild raised the price of the plan to the God of War based on the funds needed. Then after calculation by the God of War, we finally came to the conclusion that the new fleet's capital ship , the best cost of a single ship is between 800 and 120 million crystal coins.

Although I don’t know what the final design will be, I know the quotation, and I know that the new battleship will not only have the artillery system of the original battleship, but also an additional mobile Angel carrying and launching system. Combined with that cost, I Naturally, it can be roughly deduced that the size of the new battleship must be at least one size larger than the Biling-class super battleship. Otherwise, if you were asked to use 1.2 billion crystal coins to build a boat more than ten meters long, how would you spend the money? Was the entire ship made of adamantine? Even if it were really done, 1.2 billion crystal coins would be enough to build a fine gold warship over 100 meters long, and it would be solid.

Just because I know that with 800 to 120 million dollars invested, this ship will definitely not be small, and with the base of a long super battleship like the Biling class, I am not surprised at all that the new ship is so big. . If this boat was smaller, I would be surprised.

As the battleship got closer, more and more discussions gradually started to sound on the shore, because although it was still several sea miles away, the huge battleship already looked quite scary, and as the battleship finally reached the offshore , the crowd's discussion almost caught up with the sound of the waves.

Damn, even though I knew it would be big, but this size...is it really big enough for his grandfather?"

When the fleet arrived offshore, several small warships quickly docked at the dock. Although this is the largest seaport in Brazil, it is still too small for the big ships parked one nautical mile away. It is estimated that this kind of super battleship can only be docked at Essinger's deep-water dock, and they cannot dock at ordinary ports.

After the small battleship docked, I immediately saw this guy Chuang Wang running over with a group of crew members. You can tell his mood at this time just by looking at his grin that is almost reaching his ears. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Frost Rose Alliance, the Frost Rose Alliance suddenly had so many big guys added to their ranks. Of course, he was much more excited than the others.

"Haha, President, have you seen our new ship? How does it feel? Is it majestic enough?" King Chuang shouted to me from far away.

I didn't speak until he came closer, and I didn't answer his question. Instead, I asked directly: "Have you loaded up the Holy Spear Alliance's stuff?"

This time the fleet was going to receive the equipment it had ordered before, so it came to the United States. Of course, showing off our new ship is also one of the reasons. When we first divided up the Russian people's technology, we assigned technical directions. The research direction of the Gun Gods is the weaponization of liquefied magic crystal steam technology, while the Germans are responsible for dynamic research, and our guild is responsible for theoretical support. Because of this technical agreement, we have to ask Americans for help in weapon design. However, this does not mean that we are controlled by others, because we are doing the principles and feasibility verification of these weapons, so although the final design is Americans are doing it, but in fact, once separated, Americans will suffer the most. Of course, it is impossible for the three of us to undermine each other now. After all, we are competing for share in the application field of liquefied magic crystal steam. Splitting up now will only make everyone fall into repetitive research. No one is that stupid, so None of us will hide in the short term. As for whether we will in the future... that's almost certain. After all, interests determine everything?

King Chuang listened to my question and put away his previous attitude and said seriously: "All the newly arrived weapons have been installed. Especially the liquefied magic crystal shotgun. We found a small island halfway to test-fire. One shot. The power is really... tsk tsk... so enjoyable!"

"Don't be happy, I guess you won't have a chance to use that thing in the future.

After hearing what I said, King Chuang immediately softened like a deflated rubber ball. He said helplessly: "Yeah! Everything about this thing is good, but it's too expensive! It cost more than one million crystal coins in one shot and it was reimbursed. If this happens a few more times, we will really go bankrupt!"

"So that thing can be used as a deterrent. At most, it can be used occasionally to shock the scene. It is rarely used at ordinary times. Moreover, in the future, battleships will be equipped with mobile angels. I guess you and the enemy will have face-to-face naval gun battles. There won't be too many opportunities. If the enemy's tonnage is not enough, it may be over before reaching full fire range.

As soon as King Chuang heard this, he immediately asked: "By the way, President, I am a rough guy and I don't understand some things. Since our battleships have mobile angels, they are equivalent to aircraft carriers. Why are we still here?" What about installing cannons on the ship? Wouldn’t it be better to free up all the positions and install all the mobile Angels?”

"You're stupid!" I knocked on King Chuang and said, "The mobile angels carry magic crystal missiles. How much does that cost? It's really profitable to use it to fight warships. After all, the price of a missile to sink a ship is Absolutely no ship is worth anything, so it is absolutely cost-effective to let the mobile angels blow up the battleships. But do you think it is possible for us to fight a naval battle with others now? Japan does not even have a fleet now, and the largest ships in nearby countries have the tonnage of our light cruisers. Europe The navies over there are restrained by each other and no one dares to run around. The American fleet is strong enough, but now because of the cooperation project of liquefied magic crystal steam, we are temporarily in a mimo period. Who do you expect to fight during this time? Naval battle? Native Africans?”

"But why would we build so many ships if we don't fight naval battles?"

"You are stupid, but you really want to die stupid? We don't have naval battles now, so we still need a fleet. And we have more and more overseas interests now. Can we do without an ocean-going maritime force? You don’t even understand this and yet you are called a master of the navy!”

"Of course I know this." King Chuang said: "I just think that we already have enough warships, and building new ones is a bit wasteful. Of course, I know that our old warships are technologically backward, so I don't want to build new ones. No comments, I just wonder why you and Sister Rose are so generous all of a sudden. Also, you haven’t told me why our battleships are equipped with cannons? You only said before that we have no naval battles to fight, but there is no naval battle barrier What’s wrong with the cannon?”

"You are really hopeless. If we don't have a naval battle, don't we even have a land battle? What if one day we attack a port city or make a beach landing? How much does a Mobile Angel's liquefied magic crystal steam missile cost? Are you going to let them bring it? Are we going to use missiles to bomb those shabby houses in the city? Are those houses enough for our missiles? It’s true that cannons don’t have as wide a strike range as mobile angels, but missiles are cheap! Even if you use cannons to plow the entire city, it only costs a few dollars. ? If we use liquefied magic crystal steam missiles to achieve the same purpose, it will cost dozens of times the price? You don’t even know how to calculate this?"

After hearing what I said, King Chuang finally understood. "Yes, I said that the president was so stingy but he was so generous and equipped us with so many weapons. So that's the reason."

"Who are you saying is stingy?" Listening to King Chuang's unintentional words, I whispered directly into his ear coldly.

"Ah! President, I didn't mean it..."

As soon as King Chuang wanted to quibble, I kicked him directly into the sea. Then I greeted the cannibals as if nothing was wrong and said, "Okay, come on the boat with me."

The group of cannibals looked at King Chuang who fell into the sea, then looked at me, then nodded collectively, and then quickly followed, but their leader still said something to the other cannibals in their own language. I asked Ling quietly. In the end, Ling smiled and said, "They are saying that they must remember not to speak ill of you in the future."

"Damn, just joking with King Chuang actually left such an impression on them. But it's okay, lest they get too arrogant and disobedient in the guild."

Under the leadership of King Chuang's men, we quickly boarded the small battleship docked at the dock, and then the small battleship sent all the people in two batches to the largest battleship parked outside the port. As for that boy Chuang Wang, of course he was already on the boat. He is a member of the navy, and the ability to move in the water is a must-have. If the ship is sunk, will the people on the ship sink with it? Therefore, whether it is an NPC or a player on the battleship, the ability to move in the water is very strong. What's more, the boy Chuang Wang's magic pet is a monster in the sea. If nothing else, at least the underwater speed is much faster than that of a battleship.

"Boss, shall I show you our new ship?" King Chuang, who had just climbed onto the ship, said to me while wiping the water off his body. ! .
