At present, Lin Tian has solved a big problem for the navy, that is, the sea was not peaceful before, and when a large-scale navy was dispatched, the sea tribe always had soldiers to harass it, and it was always annoying to fight on their home field , This directly limits the display of naval combat power...Through the peace agreement with the queen, the promulgation of the "Respect for the Sea Order" in the later period, the increasingly mature trade channels between the two clans, and Yu Min's identity, they can all attack the guerrillas in the sea. limit.

After the navy that Lin Tian conceived rises, it will be a smooth road. Even if the operation is good, the sea people may be tied to their chariots by the human race for the sake of profit. Don't expect them to help with all their strength, at least Don't hold back!

There is a good port!Sailors have it!There is a big environment!The funds can also solve part of the problem. What is missing now is to build a new type of warship and weapons that can match it...

Although he was anxious about the undead invasion in the Griffin Province, it seemed that so far, he hadn't found much unfavorable situation in the information he got from the thieves, and the two sides were still in a confrontation stage.Lin Tian, ​​who understands that rice needs to be eaten bite by bite, had to be patient and deal with this end first, otherwise it would be difficult to pass through the entire human territory, and after arriving at the other end, the backyard would catch fire again.

navy!The cornerstone of the country!

As long as you have a coastline, command of the sea is a major factor restricting your development!The Navy was born for this!

A powerful navy is needed to safeguard the country's maritime sovereignty, maintain its overseas interests, and respond to the behavior of countries outside the territory as quickly as possible!

warship!The country's most important weapon!

Although in Sword Demon Continent, there is no concept of aircraft carrier.But a strong ship carries a large number of high-quality naval officers and soldiers, which in itself is a great deterrent!They have the convenience of marching that the army does not have.It also has better suddenness, which can achieve the effect of surprise soldiers.And if it is in the battle against the island and the opposite shore, I am afraid that there is no better navy! [

There is no such thing as gunpowder in this world. It seems that it is because of the restrictions of the world's rules. Lin Tian has tried many times according to the standard ratio of black powder, but somehow he has not succeeded. give up.At the same time, he also learned that any race in this world.Never heard of firearms.Therefore, the naval strong ship and gun he had conceived before had failed before it was put into practice.

No guns?That's all right!The world has its substitutes entirely.

There are no muskets, but there are bows and arrows, right? The range difference is a bit short, but it is basically a long-range attack, and the lethality is still acceptable.

Sharp guns can be replaced by ballistas and trebuchets, and the range is not bad.But the lethality is limited.Lin Tian expressed his dissatisfaction, but now he can only do so...

A ship under 500 tons is called a ship, and a ship above [-] tons can barely be called a ship.In the past, although traditional navies were called warships, they were almost all wooden ships of several hundred tons, driven by sails, and at most equipped with some large oars.Can do short maneuvers.The attack method is not to throw stones from a long distance. If it is farther away, the accuracy is limited. It is mainly used to destroy the enemy's hull and perform bombing missions on land fixed targets.

The middle range is fired from a ballista, which shoots out a large crossbow arrow as thick as an arm.The lethality is good, but the damage to the opponent's ships is limited.Mainly killing people and destroying the opponent's sails...

When you get close, you can shoot with a bow and arrow, and use a springboard to slash, which is not much different from the pirate's attack method...

This is the traditional navy in the past. Lin Tian was dumbfounded when he learned about this!This mother is cheating, the combat power is limited!Is it any wonder that the navy has been unable to develop for a long time?

Can't use magical thinking?

With a magician in the navy!Aren't these magicians equivalent to movable turrets?

People in Sword Demon Continent are not fools, of course it is okay to have magicians on board, but the potential of the navy has not been tapped, and countries do not pay attention to this kind of arms, thinking that it is useless to spend money and effort.In addition, master magicians are rare, and most of them are still seasick. How could they be willing to go on board and use it as a mobile fort?Basically everyone is willing to meditate more on the shore, right?

In the original coastal kingdom that valued the navy, there were not many magicians who were seasick, but the magicians from this island country were also unwilling to board the ship.The most important thing is that water magicians are abundant here, so the effect of being a fort is naturally not good!

It is because of these restrictions that this branch of arms that should have been developed has remained stagnant for thousands of years. Even the navy that the Kingdom of Freedom maintains is only used to escort merchant ships to fight against pirates...

Lin Tian wants to develop the navy, he needs to build big ships, he needs a powerful navy... This continent is not equal to the whole world!

Accidentally accepting Yu Min, the mermaid princess, as a follower is what Lin Tian thinks is the most profitable thing, because from her mouth, he has learned a lot of secrets!For example, this world is not just a continent. For example, among the mermaid enchanters, there are at least several types of enchantments that can bless dead objects such as wooden boards...[

A steel battleship made of steel, something so advanced, Lin Tian dare not even think about it, but if it is a magic battleship, it seems to be feasible, right?

Magic Battleship!The name is a bit scary, but in fact, the magic battleship Lin Tian conceived is very cheating...

Using the high-quality oak boards that are abundant in the coastal province, let the mermaid enchanter bless two kinds of enchantments on a large scale, one is a defensive enchantment, which can increase a certain amount of defense. A few hits will make people smash the frame apart, and it won't be chopped into firewood by the enemy sword master!

The other is the anti-magic barrier, which can add a certain amount of anti-magic "resistance" to the battleship, so that it will not be turned into a pile of good fuel by a fireball...

At that time, Lin Tian asked Yu Min to try it. The effect of this large-scale blessing is naturally not as good as that of a single creature, but it barely meets Lin Tian's requirements.The blessed wooden planks are thick enough and hard enough, and have certain fireproof and anti-electric properties. They are quite good ship materials!

It is impossible for Yu Min to complete this work alone. In fact, shipbuilding, especially the construction of a thousand-ton ship, consumes a terrifying amount of wood. Even in Lin Tian's idea, only the outer shell of the ship, The deck and the mast need to use this blessed wood, and the interior can be saved as much as possible, just use ordinary wood... But the consumption of this kind of wood is still enough, even if the little beauty is exhausted, I am afraid I can only make a part of it. Come.

Lin Tian had to use his brains!

In the past few days, he drew a sketch of a new type of magic warship, which still adopts the style of a classic sailing warship, similar to Zheng He's treasure ship, with a row of paddles added, which can be accelerated manually in a short time.The use of sails is very particular, usually relying on the sea breeze, when necessary, you can let the wind magician on board the ship use the magic wind to accelerate...

The deck is strong, and there are undulating arrow stacks on the side of the ship, which can be easily attacked and avoided. There are also many bunkers on the ship, which can ensure the safety of the crew to the maximum. If such a thousand-ton magic warship is built, it will be out-and-out in this world The giant ship.

In order to increase deterrence and show off its force, the figurehead uses the symbol of the sacred Griffin Kingdom, Griffin!Therefore, Lin Tian named it: Griffin Battleship!

What?How to solve the problem of the master magician on board?

This is a headache in other countries, but in Lin Tian, ​​it is not a problem at all!

After going through various battles, especially after the "Yang of the Beast", the number of Royal Mages, even if the 5000 fox mages are not included, is about 3. Although their average level is 3 or 4, their loyalty It's quite tall, and it's been classified as a soldier, not a free mage anymore.Among these people, it is not a big problem to select fire and wind mages, and each Griffon warship is equipped with 10 fire and 10 wind mages.

Although the 3rd and 4th level fire mages don't look strong, if the opposite side is also a wooden ship, they are really killers. Whether it is a low-level small fireball or a 4th-level large fireball, they will burn the ship while killing people. The name is indeed true...

The wind mage can summon the wind element to move the sail, so that the warship has made great progress in terms of short-term burst acceleration and long-distance continuous speed.And the wind blade technique can attack the enemy sailors and canvas, and even wait for the opponent to catch fire to borrow the wind, which is a good combination.As for the remaining elemental mages, their performance in naval battles is not conspicuous enough, so there is no need to prioritize them.

Don't think that such a battleship is equipped with 20 mages, which is a bit small!In fact, these Griffin warships are different from modern ironclad warships after all. They have large tonnage but relatively small space. The rated crew is about 300 people. If they need to transport friendly troops, this number can be doubled. It is different to be able to drive away, which requires a lot of space to store food and fresh water, and related life support systems, which are necessary for long-distance voyages!

In addition to arranging these noble master magicians to board the ship to increase the instant strike capability of the entire warship (after all, the big fireball doesn't just hit as many shots as you want), in his sketch, he also set enough Firepower "deck gun"...

The giant catapults two in front and two in the back serve as the main guns, while the eight detachable ballistas interspersed with the entire ship structure serve as secondary guns, providing the warship with continuous strike capabilities. Unlike the delicate mages, they have no magic. Winding is not complicated, it just takes a little longer to prepare, but it can continue to attack, and just change a set of "operators" when necessary, unlike a magician who needs to meditate for a long time after the magic power is exhausted!

This kind of high-low economic configuration not only allows the Griffin battleship to have good long-range strike firepower, but also deliberately increases the instantaneous explosive power. Both the attack ability and the mobility to seize the upper hand in naval battles have made great progress... Immediately let the The whole ship has a high-end atmosphere! (To be continued.
