Transcendent Journey

To

Toot——!

Accompanied by the long whistle sound, on the battlefield where the sailing fleets of the two sides were fighting, a huge black steel battleship appeared brightly.

Except for the unexpected material.

The most notable feature of this battleship is that it can’t find the standard equipment of the ship of this era-towering masts, huge sails, and instead are the towering chimneys with thick black smoke coming out of bones and bones.

This is actually a creation that was skipped by the “Tulip” technology tree-[Steam-powered Ironclad Ship]!

“Icelandic country Atlan, which has a weak industrial foundation, can suddenly take out this level weapon? And the steam engine is no longer auxiliary power, but all the sails are removed in one step?!”

The war between the two strong neighbors was of course their attractive spectacle, and the three of Ivan wished that they could rush their minds out of their brains, but this change was unexpected to them.

immediately Go back and check your own equipment warehouse.

The result is not surprising.

Including the prototype [Knight] in the [Full Heavy Battleship], Falitis has successively launched four new battleships in the past three years.

As the killing move of the tulip, it still stops in the secret military port intact.

Garrett duchy The three [full heavy battleships] headed by the first [fearless class·Black Sea Pearl], and none of them are missing.

The cost of [fearless class · full-heavy battleship] is about 400,000 Golden Lion, which is equivalent to the cost of ten Level 1 sailing battleships.

Even the rich and imposing Falitis and Garrett can only temporarily maintain the speed of one ship per year and stock up their weapons.

Moreover, in the era of the big bang of science and technology, the replacement of weapons was extremely fast, and Ivan and Livina were not prepared to dig themselves a big hole that they could not climb out of.

As for the [Steam Ironclad Ship], the cost is much lower, and it is much weaker than the [Full-Heavy Battleship], but it still has a huge advantage when dealing with ordinary sailing battleships.

bang! bang! bang! bang!…

As soon as it got out of stealth, this [steam-powered ironclad ship] launched a swift and violent offensive against the Sark Empire fleet.

The extremely sharp cone-shaped projectile easily penetrated the thick hull of the Sark warship with the precision that conventional shipborne artillery could not imagine.

Far beyond the range of conventional sailing battleships, only four shots fired in a row, and it sank the opponent’s main Level 3 ship.

In the eyes of Ivan and their three bystanders.

Compared with the mainstream sailing battleship of this era, this battleship not only uses steam power, but also creatively uses the design of the upper turret to accommodate the main weapon.

A 304mm front-mounted rifled naval gun was loaded, and a tapered shell that pursued range and precision was used.

One of the advantages of the turret is that it solves the problem of gunner protection when loading front-mounted artillery.

The artillery can be retracted into the turret when it needs to be loaded, cover the loading with armor plates, and then push back to the gun position.

In this way, the gunner does not have to risk the mortal danger to fill the artillery on the deck where the shrapnel is flying, and safety is greatly guaranteed.

Moreover, the two twin main turrets were arranged above the hull instead of on the side of the hull like conventional battleships, and the number was greatly reduced.

This design concept with the [full-heavy battleship·fearless class] of common origins is not a patent of Ivan and Watt, but an inevitable choice made by engineers following the development of battleship.

Because of the large number of side cannons, it is not more advantageous than the small number of cannons in the rotating turret.

Moreover, due to the contradiction between the displacement of the battleship and the armor of the hull, a large number of sideboard guns will also seriously occupy the load and make the armor of the battleship thinner.

In addition, the flexible steam-powered battleship also made the sideboard artillery less and less useful. The heavy armor can completely withstand the artillery shells used by the sail battleship.

So battleship engineers, as it should be by rights, began to shift from the pursuit of artillery quantity to the pursuit of artillery quality. Larger caliber, stronger shells, stronger penetrating killing effect!

It is also the mainstream of the future “Huge Ship Cannon” era.

But Ivan still didn’t understand how Atlan got this stuff out?

There is no industrial foundation, no relevant technical personnel, and no consistent technical route. Is it impossible to pop out of the cracks in the stone?

Driven by a strong thirst for knowledge.

Ivan simply gave up the indirect surveillance of [Spirit Net Network], and instead used [Demon Eyes of Insight] to activate remote viewing, and looked towards the battlefield filled with gunpowder thousands of kilometers away from Long Island.

In the next second, the main parameters of this battleship were already rolling in Ivan’s eyes.

Displacement 9448 tons; length: 87 meters; width: 20 meters; main equipment: two turrets and 4 304mm front-mounted rifled guns, huge collision angle; cruising range: capable of driving 12 hours at a speed of about 15 knots ….

[Insight into the magic eye] It also penetrated its steel body and saw the internal precision system.

Steam is not only used for power, but also used for steering the rudder system, anchoring system, rotating armor system, loading ammunition, pumping and lifting shipborne boats, harpoons, etc.

Some are also used on [Full Heavy Battleship], but some make Ivan feel refreshed.

What? You say that stealing technology is wrong?

Hi, can the technicians be called stealing? This is called plagiarism!

“Well, the technology seems to be very mature, not like a genius who created suddenly enlightenment on a whim.

But without any pre-technology, it is indeed amazing to be able to achieve this level! “

In the rushing tide, some people are leading the tide, and some are being swept forward by the tide.

Ivan has always believed that no great person is indispensable, and the people are the creators of history.

The world will not be completely stagnant because of the lack of Mennon Watt or Ivan Garrett, at most it will be delayed for dozens of hundreds of years.

Suddenly, when his eyes moved to the core power room of [Steam Ironclad Ship], Ivan’s brow lightly raised.

“This thing… it really doesn’t stop there!”

[Power Core·Steam Ball]

The working principle on the surface is a closed steel container on both sides, with a brass tube installed on each side, and a hollow ball that can rotate around an axis is in the middle of the tube.

On both sides of the ball, install two reverse elbow nozzles in the direction of the vertical rotation axis, fill the container with water and then burn charcoal for heating.

The water boils and turns into steam, carrying huge energy from the nozzles on both sides of the sphere, and the water vapor will drive the hollow ball to high-speed rotation.

The rotation speed is as high as 3000 revolutions per minute, providing endless surging power for this battleship.

Looking at the [steam-powered ironclad ship] in the battlefield of the sailing battleship fleet that was an era behind, Ivan gradually fell into deep thought.

“The one who invented this ironclad ship…not a man!”

Now that Watt can break through the knowledge and cognitive circles of all intelligent creatures and successfully become the “Grand Wizard”, then there is an impossible person who can compete with “steam-powered machinery”.

But.

As far as this iron armored ship is concerned, the weapon system, steel armor, ship-based artillery, etc. are all that’s all, but that powerful [Power Core·Spinning Ball] should never be the creation of a human mechanical engineer.

Combining that the Kingdom of Atlan is the first place where demons appeared in the intelligence, and even the Demon God descended, Ivan has reason to suspect that this is the “demon technology” given to certain Atlanians by Demon God from the lower realm. .

At least in Mystic Knowledge owned by Ivan.

Ranked 3rd Demon God “Vasak” in the Seventy-two Pillars of Demon God; “Walliv” in the sixth place; “Bymon” in the ninth place; and “Cassie Moral” in the 25th place ; The 28th “Belle”; the 33rd “Kabo”.

There are six Demon Gods who all have knowledge about science or alchemy.

But if you add the “stealth” ability that you just didn’t even notice in [Spirit Net Network], this goal can be reduced to the sixth, ninth, and 25th Demon Gods. .

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are plural Demon Gods who have various abilities to “help” the Atlanians.

It is a pity that Solomon’s contract with the 72 Demon Gods prevented him from taking the initiative to trouble them.

“MD, the intention of these Demon Gods to seek the vitality behind the door is not difficult to figure out, but as it stands now, they are simply robbing us!”

Either from adventures, or personal experience, or independent thinking, Ivan has gradually sorted out a main line with a detached look.

The so-called “Renaissance”, “Era of Great Navigation”, “Steam Industrial Revolution”, “Capital Flood”… everything is just a small tributary of the big tide.

The trend of “weak compensation” that runs through the entire Hrag Star is the mainstream that has always accompanied this World.

Individual power is weakened, and scientific power makes up for it.

Whoever it is.

In this process, every beneficial promotion of “compensation” should be able to get a huge amount of feedback from [world favor].

Maybe you can really go “behind the door” and hold True God’s thighs, and walk out another brand new “Transcending Tribulation” road.

Even if you can’t reach the True God level, you can still enter the next era with your current strength and reason. Let me ask, which True God’s thigh has a thick world consciousness!
