Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 232 A Whole Generation Advanced

That evening, Bernadette held a grand dinner at the Emerald Palace to celebrate the success of the first sea trial.

If it was just an ordinary sea trial, there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

But today's sea trial is different. This is the world's first spiritually powered ocean vessel!
After the sea trial was successful, Bernadette was also very happy. She knew that Odysseus's most core research must be amazing.

Watching the scholars and ship designers drinking happily, Belinda and other captains could only sit in their seats and drink alone. When they were in the dock this afternoon, they had been warned by the "Queen" not to ask about the new ship.

They only heard that it was the magic circle that allowed the ship to accelerate to such a high speed in a very short time, but they really couldn't understand why a magic circle that only had some auxiliary function could have such a powerful power?

What disappointed them the most was that Odysseus was sitting in the seat closest to the "Queen" at this time. Judging from the way the two were talking, they seemed very familiar with each other and had known each other for more than a day or two.

Only today did they find out that there was such a person beside the "Queen".

Just when they were wondering why the Queen had called them here, Bernadette, who was sitting at the highest point, said, "Now let Odysseus tell you about the new ship's weapon system."

Everyone immediately came to their senses and looked at Odysseus.

Odysseus smiled while holding his wine glass and said, "Everyone, this ship has three weapons in total. The most powerful one is the 'Spirit Wave Cannon' at the front of the ship.

"The maximum range is around 60 kilometers. Each shot can destroy a large steel ship. Well, no need to worry about misaiming..."

Several captains were almost shocked: What the hell is this ship? Some legendary ghost ships are not so powerful!
At this time they felt very strange. They dealt with ships every day, but they were surprised by a ship like this!
But soon, they accepted it all calmly, because this ship was obviously beyond their understanding of ships.

However, in the extraordinary world, such things happen from time to time, so they did not question it and just listened quietly.

Odysseus took a sip of wine and continued, "In the extraordinary world, there is such an advantage. As long as the operation is proper, it can be guaranteed that every shell will hit the target.

“But if there’s a demigod on the opposing ship, then even if you hit it, it won’t cause any damage to the target ship.

"But, as long as there are no demigods, we can definitely injure the target."

Having already drunk several glasses of wine and feeling a little tipsy, Odysseus sighed and said, "The only problem is that the 'Spirit Wave Cannon' requires a lot of spiritual energy. After firing three times in a row, you have to rest for one minute before firing again.

"And you can only fire one shot every minute. Only after a rest of more than 10 minutes can you fire again continuously."

Captain Aubrey finally couldn't help but ask, "This... I mean, Mr. Odysseus, what are the negative effects of this ship?"

"There are no negative effects," Odysseus, who was also very happy today, explained: "This is not a ghost ship, nor is it an extraordinary ship like a sealed object."

Raymond, one of the deputy leaders of the "Elemental Dawn", asked everyone's question: "Why is it able to launch such a powerful attack?"

"This is kept secret for now," Odysseus said. "To be precise, the fewer people who know about this core technology, the better."

The magic array on the ship made extensive use of the symbols he deduced, namely the "Gal Runes", which can completely change human's understanding of the extraordinary and are the real core part of Odysseus' research.

Of course, as long as he uses it, such things will become popular sooner or later, but Odysseus must control the speed of popularization to avoid danger to himself.

Bernadette's subordinates understood that they were not allowed to ask about the real core things, and they should just listen quietly to what Odysseus said.

Odysseus continued, "The second type of weapon is a 'machine gun' located on each side of the ship, at the bow, and at the stern. It has three attack modes. One is to fire continuous fireballs with explosive effects, with a range of about 10 kilometers.

"Another method is to fire continuous frost shells. If fired continuously, it can freeze the entire enemy ship.

"There's also a water cannon attack, which fires a large amount of seawater, washing enemies on the target ship into the sea or soaking their ammunition."

Seeing that her subordinates were hesitant to speak, Bernadette said, "Ask whatever you want. As long as it's not confidential, I will answer you."

Captain Belinda quickly asked, "Mr. Odysseus, don't you have any normal artillery?"

Odysseus was stunned: "No."

Belinda took a deep breath and said, "But...but Extraordinary ammunition is generally very valuable, and the person who operates such a weapon must be at least Sequence 7."

On the sea, there are many ships equipped with extraordinary cannons, but these extraordinary cannons also require extraordinary ammunition, and when firing, they also require a large amount of spiritual power to activate.

This is also the reason why normal artillery has not been eliminated, because it is easy to fight for half a day and only get things worth a few hundred pounds.

If this is the only gain, and if we use only extraordinary weapons during the battle, the loss will be even greater!

"No extraordinary ammunition is needed." Odysseus once again made a shocking statement: "As long as the weapons on the ship are used according to the instruction manual and maintained within two and a half years, no ammunition is required.

"And ordinary crew members can also use these weapons after a certain amount of training."

Because there are a large number of spiritual condensation magic arrays on the ship, they can form extraordinary ammunition by themselves under the action of the corresponding magic arrays, and can be launched with only simple mechanical operations.

"This..." Deputy Chief Raymond didn't hide his surprise: "In this case, this ship is basically invincible!"

He just noticed that of the two weapons, the more powerful one has a range of about 60 kilometers, which is about twice the range of the most advanced and longest-range naval guns.

If you encounter ironclad ships from other countries' navies, you can use such weapons to deal with them.

The four machine guns can be used to deal with ordinary pirate ships. Most pirate ships still use old-fashioned cannons with a range generally not exceeding 5 kilometers.

Wooden ships cannot be equipped with the powerful naval guns that are currently available because the recoil is too great and wooden ships simply cannot withstand such recoil.

If ammunition wasn't a concern, the end of the ordinary pirate ship would be nigh.

The other 10 kilometers is still beyond the capabilities of most Sequence 5s. In other words, if there is no demigod on board, the target ship will be sunk within a minute.

Moreover, Odysseus also thoughtfully designed a water cannon, which was obviously intended to better plunder the spoils.

Raymond sighed: "If we equip ten ships like this, we will be the rulers of this sea!"

"That's exactly why I called you here." Bernadette put a grape in her mouth: "But before that, let's listen to the last weapon." The "Queen's" words gave everyone a clear signal: Odysseus was not bragging, and the weapons he talked about might really become a reality in the near future.

Odysseus continued, "The third weapon is at the stern of the ship. I call it the 'electromagnetic cannon'. The principle is probably to use extraordinary power to compress lightning and quickly launch it.

"When it encounters an external force, or reaches a certain position, the force of the compressed air disappears, generating an electromagnetic shock wave in the air."

This is actually different from the electromagnetic gun that Odysseus has in mind, because in his impression, the electromagnetic gun uses the power of electromagnetics to enhance the range and muzzle velocity of steel shells.

But the "electromagnetic cannon" invented by Odysseus, the "cannonball" is a lightning bolt. After exploding at a certain distance, the "cannonball" will spread radially around, first causing a paralyzing effect, and the impact will cause extremely powerful physical damage.

Odysseus smiled and continued, "Also, the 'Electromagnetic Cannon' has a flexible barrel and anti-aircraft capabilities."

Everyone was stunned: Air defense?

They don't quite understand why there is such a design?

Generally speaking, except for dealing with "Wind-loving Ones", there is no need for air defense capabilities...

At this time, everyone realized that this design might be used to deal with the "Wind-loving Ones"?

Before they had time to think about it, Bernadette said, "After the first new ship is launched, I will build several more of these new ships for you to use as flagships.

"But there's one thing you should note. Normally, this ship sails at a normal speed, pretending it can only use its high speed and weapons in critical moments."

She paused and explained, "We have no protection from the political power of a great power. We suddenly have a powerful ship in our hands, which makes us vulnerable to attacks from various countries and churches.

"Everyone needs to be patient until the time is right, but with these ships, our combat effectiveness will definitely be enhanced.

"Don't be polite when you encounter ironclad ships from other countries demonstrating. Fire a few shots at them from a distance to show them how powerful we are."

Before the emergence of new ironclad ships in the navies of various countries, the fleets of the "Four Kings" at sea dared to plunder even the navy's supplies, but after having powerful ironclad ships, they no longer dared to approach the navy.

What Bernadette meant by "the time is ripe" was that after she became an angel, other political forces would be afraid enough of the "Elemental Dawn" that they would not dare to capture the "Elemental Dawn"'s new ships openly and then go back to study them.

They can only turn to the safer method of purchasing to obtain new ships.

Odysseus had discussed this with Bernadette when he first arrived at the Emerald Palace. Ships can be purchased, but technology cannot.

As a result, countries lacked sufficient references and were almost unable to master the symbols deduced by Odysseus in a short period of time.

Then they will need to buy technical services later, and if they want to learn, the price will be sky-high.

Although the cost of each ship sounds high now, it will be earned back quickly in the future, and it will be a big profit.

This is Bernadette's entire plan, but she is not an angel yet, so she can only ask her subordinates to be low-key. Moreover, the current firepower display is also very important, which is equivalent to a product introduction.

Although no one knows the true purpose of the "Queen", everyone is happy to have a new ship to use.

With such advanced weapons, we can now consider targeting targets that we didn't dare to rob before, and we can also try to attack enemies that we didn't dare to fight before.

Anyway, the speed is so fast, as long as you don’t try to challenge other “kings”, you will definitely be able to escape.

Next, Bernadette announced the order in which several of her key subordinates would receive the new ships, and asked them to communicate regularly after receiving the new ships and to master them as soon as possible.

This time everyone was happy, and several captains toasted Odysseus, which made Odysseus drink more than a bottle. Even the Beyonder was a little drunk.

The banquet ended around ten o'clock in the evening. This was neither Backlund nor Trier, and the attendees were certainly not nobles, so there was no custom of holding a dance. After eating and drinking, they went back to sleep or looked for streetwalkers.

Odysseus followed Bernadette back to the backyard of the Emerald Palace.

Bernadette looked at the full moon and suddenly invited Odysseus: "Let's go for a walk on the beach."

Odysseus nodded: "Okay."

Under the hazy moonlight, the waves slowly pushed towards the shore, making the beach very flat.

Odysseus and Bernadette were walking slowly on the beach, chatting about the new ship they had just brought.

Bernadette sighed, "I finally understand why you were so low-key when you were in Backlund.

“We’ve found a way to cultivate spiritual herbs and animals, but we only dare to use it on a small scale.

"When one's power is not strong enough, but one possesses the technology and knowledge that can change the world, one will either be hailed as a great person or be seized by a powerful person."

When Odysseus first wanted to build a ship for her, she was quite happy, but after watching the sea trial today, she suddenly felt a threat from the angel level.

The total cost of this ship is only about 6 pounds, while the largest ironclad ship in the Kingdom of Loen currently costs about 13 pounds.

If there is no demigod on the ironclad ship, the new ship can be scrapped with at most two shots, which is very cost-effective!

If the Intis Republic knew the specific performance of this ship, they would definitely send angels to seize it!
This is not only the case in Intis, but also in other countries.

Therefore, Bernadette asked her subordinates to accelerate to the fastest speed only occasionally, and to use the weapons on the ship only occasionally, to create the illusion that a considerable price would be paid to carry out such operations.

Odysseus pondered for a moment and said, "I can set a 'self-destruct button'. Once pressed, the magic circle will automatically burn, leaving no clues for the enemy."

Bernadette was slightly stunned: "That's a good idea."

"The captain can't be the one in charge of this button," Odysseus added. "We need to find one or two relatively insignificant people on this ship to assign this task."
