Heavenly Dao Formula

"The enemy ship is turning!"

"The target is still about four miles away from us!"

The guard in charge of observation reminded loudly.

"It seems that they have already used the tree species of elves." Pang Ting said with a sinking face, "There are indeed enslaved islanders on board."

"Isn't this something that was expected a long time ago?" Xia Fan said with a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, this set of offensives is designed for close-range attacks."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Pang Ting had mixed feelings for a moment.

When this plan was put forward, both he and the high priest were amazed by the other party's bold idea—to use ice to build ships, to quickly approach the enemy ships without relying on the seeds of the spirit tree and the wind, and then to conduct face-to-face "jump gang battles". The battle plan can be said to have completely exceeded the imagination of the two.

It will be easier for Jinxia City if the ice ship is loaded with explosives and directly made into a "mobile shell". Xia Fan can even let the islanders control it, so he doesn't have to take any risks. Although sending people from the tribe to send the high priest to death and himself would not bear it, as long as he said "sacrifice one person to save the tree boat", Pang Ting believed that many people would be willing to accept it.

But in order to save more elves, he chose another more complicated strategy. If it is successful, the benefits will be huge, but correspondingly, Jinxia City itself has to bear a lot of risks.

Not to mention the fact that this person actually possesses the ability to turn this vision into reality.

Whether it's spells, knowledge, or courage and ambition, at this age, it seems too scary-this is human beings, a group that is not good at age. Pang Ting has never seen such an outstanding character in an islander. The only thing he is fortunate is that the other party did not come from the empire and is now an ally of Noah.

He knew that after this battle, this person's reputation in Shuzhou would reach an unprecedented height, and this was what the other party planned. In theory, as the patriarch of Noah's clan, he should try to avoid letting outsiders dominate Shuzhou's affairs, but the other party's methods are so positive that even he can't find a single flaw. Even leaving aside the factor of the patriarch, Pang Ting has a lot of respect for this person in terms of personal opinion, let alone other Shuzhou islanders.

That's why he had mixed feelings.

It would be great if this person was an elf.

...

On the east wall, two figures sneaked their heads out. One of them raised his binoculars and pointed in the direction of the ice ship.

"Sister Mo Yun, let's go down, it's too dangerous here." Luo You'er said worriedly. Even with the drizzle, the enemy's artillery attacks have not been interrupted. She could even catch the bullets passing overhead with her naked eyes whenever the guns sounded. In case the black iron ball fell on the top of the city wall, she really didn't know if she could protect Miss Mo with just one hand.

This is also the temporary task Xia Fan entrusted to her - to act with Mo Yun during the war, and don't let her be too aggressive.

At the beginning, she didn't understand how the person in charge of the Mechanism Bureau, who was usually reticent and cold-looking, would make rash moves, but now she understood.

"It doesn't matter. The enemy is targeting the houses behind the city. There is no defense force on the wall, so they won't care about it." Mo Yun said without moving.

Boom—clang—!

Before she finished her sentence, the iron ball flew a little lower, just passing the wall when it crossed the wall, and exploded a large group of broken bricks fifty steps away from the two of them.

"F, blow willow technique!" Luo You'er quickly summoned up a gust of wind, blowing away the splashed stone chips. "Look, isn't this very dangerous! If it's a little bit off, we'll have to stick to the city wall!"

"It's just an accident. According to the theory of probability, it's hard to happen again in a short period of time." Mo Yun's eyes never left the looking glass.

"Sister Mo Yun, can't we go down into the city wall and have a look? There is also an observation hole there."

"It's impossible to see the first scene of the iceship battle down here." Mo Yun vetoed without hesitation, "Do you know what moment is the most unmissable moment as a mechanism engineer?"

"Uh..." Luo You'er casually replied, "The moment the organ is completed?"

"No, it's the moment when it really comes in handy as a real thing. This is also the only criterion for measuring the value of a mechanism." Mo Yun wiped the rain from his forehead, "Every mechanism master hopes that his or her The work can be popularized and shine. As the maker of the war mechanism, I naturally have to witness its effectiveness on the battlefield."

"But the ice ship...wasn't it made by the living dead?"

"That's right. But the design of the hull and the most core propulsion device are all completed by the Mechanical Engineering Bureau." When she said this, her voice suddenly dropped a little, "Of course I don't deny that the ideas provided by Xia Fan are also helpful to me. It's very helpful...”

After skipping this paragraph, Mo Yun raised his voice again, "You know, these ships are definitely creations of the times! They don't rely on sails for power, but are driven entirely by astronomical instruments and gear sets, as well as propellers—the paddles If the sheet is made into a curved surface, the rotation can be used to generate propulsion, which is simply a genius idea!"

"And it's not enough to just have an idea. This system requires all-steel casting. Wood, bronze, and pig iron are not enough to support its operating strength. Steel is not easy to obtain, let alone process it into shafts and gears. This is definitely not a blacksmith What can be done with the hands, can only be done with the knives, grinders, and sharpeners also driven by the celestial motion."

"In other words, it needs a large-scale machine building bureau, a large number of gas sensers who are not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, manufacturers who need to master basic skills and the theory of numbers, and managers who are willing to invest in these expenses. And a person in charge who can integrate various resources."

"Therefore, only the Jinxia Machine Building Bureau can manufacture it in the entire Great Qi." Mo Yun paused, "You said, how could I miss the important moment when it first appeared on the battlefield with such an outstanding machine creation?"

Luo Youer was dumbfounded for a moment.

She suddenly realized that she might be wrong.

Sister Mo Yun is not reticent and cold as ice. She just doesn't want to spend more time talking about things that don't interest her.

Once it comes to the things she cares about, she turns out to have a lot of words, at least as long-winded as Luo Weiwei who urges her to study.

The soil thief really gave herself a difficult task, Luo You'er thought bitterly, now she can only hope that the probability theory that Sister Mo Yun said is correct.

...

When the ice ship approached within two miles of the imperial fleet, the gigantic Invincible had already turned more than half of its turn. Although it lacked a bit of elegance and leeway, it at least resolved the fleet's greatest crisis.

The strike range of the front half broadside can already cover the incoming target!

"Let the gunners shoot freely." Lord Tural said coldly.

The order was issued quickly, and the top 12-pound gun and the middle 24-pound gun fired first. With the rapid roar, the acrid gunpowder smoke immediately covered the side of the Invincible, and dozens of shells roared towards the enemy. Fly away with the Jinxia ice boat!
