Chapter 2098 Visitors
After arriving at the 153 defense zone, these commanders went directly to the location of the dock. Want to see how powerful this battleship is?
In fact, before arriving, they had been paying attention to the defense zone for a long time and were very obsessed with guns and weapons.
There is always a group of people who are obsessed with this cold fire-breathing weapon. If they see it but cannot get it, they always feel uncomfortable.
After landing, under normal circumstances, they were not allowed to wander around, even as defense zone commanders.
However, Tang Zhen had already issued an order before, and all visitors could go to the dock under the guidance of a dedicated person to watch the entire manufacturing process of the warship.
Of course visitors can only see what they should see. As for some secret core information, they have no chance of seeing it.
A group of commanders came to the dock and couldn't help but froze in place after seeing the scene in front of them.
Because the location of the dock is beyond the scope of the defense zone, believers in other defense zones cannot see it through the teleportation stone.
It is precisely because of this that some people rush here to see the true face of Mount Lu.
As a result, what appeared in front of them were huge pits and black rocks like hills.
In these huge pits, a group of believers are busy going back and forth. They use tools like slings or scaffolding to surround these huge rocks.
Materials similar to bamboo poles can be exchanged in the temple for a very cheap price. Even if the entire boulder is surrounded, it does not cost much military merit at all.
Although the scene at work was lively, that was not what the commanders wanted to see.
"This is a battleship. Are you kidding? It's clearly just some broken rocks. The 153 defense zone is a lie, right?"
A defense zone commander looked at the black stone with a look of surprise on his face and said to his companions beside him.
There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
The other commanders also looked at a loss. Tang Zhen used the temple to make an advertisement, saying that the battleship was magical, which was why they came in a hurry.
After arriving at the scene and seeing the real thing, they found that it was so different from what they had imagined that they found it difficult to accept it for a while.
“What’s going on with Tang Zhen? Does he want us to drive a pile of rocks to hunt sea monsters? If that’s the case, then there will be as much sea as there is in front of our room.”
Someone took the opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks. During this period, Tang Zhen was in the limelight, which aroused the jealousy of many people. These guys were eager to have the opportunity to ridicule him.
However, most of the commanders looked on with cold eyes. They did not rush to draw conclusions, but observed carefully.
In fact, these commanders have already seen that the boulder in front of them is just a rough blank, and there is still a huge distance from a real warship.
It’s just that they were too impatient and rushed over when the battleship was just being built, for fear that they would be late and not be able to get it.
Although they were full of disapproval, the information they obtained after careful observation still shocked them.
Apart from anything else, just hollowing out the inside of a hard and tough boulder is definitely a very difficult task.
Because the material of this stone is far superior to steel, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the damage of sea monsters. It can be said that there is no problem at all in using it as the main material of a battleship.
If they were allowed to do it, it would take at least ten to eight years to achieve this.
These modified boulders alone are of great value and cannot be exchanged without sufficient military exploits.
Of course, what the commanders want is not the hollowed-out boulder, but the completed warship. However, the cost of hollowing out the boulder must be included in the sale.
The commanders were somewhat unwilling to spend a lot of military exploits to purchase such ubiquitous stones. It's a pity that they can't do this kind of thing at all. As long as they want to buy a warship, they must accept these conditions.
While talking in low voices, the commanders were still carefully watching the process of the believers inscribing the rune array, but found that they could not understand it at all.
Some of the commanders present were proficient in rune formations, but the rune formations engraved on the battleships were completely different from those they had encountered before.
It seems that it is not an easy thing to learn from others.
"Commanders, I don't know what you have in mind. You can raise it with me at any time, and I will try my best to convey it to Your Excellency Tang Zhen?"
A veteran Youzi was responsible for receiving these commanders and answering their questions. Various questions, if the other party has any special requirements, can also be raised during the visit.
Although he was smiling on the outside, he was actually quite disdainful of these defense zone commanders in his heart.
These guys are different from Tang Zhen. They are just a group of vicious wolves who won't let go when they see fat. If the commanders of the 153 defense zone were them, the believers would never expect to receive many benefits and benefits.
“Tell me, what will this battleship look like after it is completed?”
A commander thought for a while and asked the veteran Youzi.
In fact, the question that these commanders are most concerned about is, what kind of guns and weapons will the warship be equipped with, and how much lethality can it have?
According to their thinking, the larger the quantity, the better, so that they will not feel a loss when buying it.
It's just that battleships are different from real city walls after all. The rationality of the weapon layout needs to be considered, and it doesn't mean that you have to have as many as you want.
Even so, when those commanders saw the completed drawings of the battleship, their eyes still shone.
At this moment, they made up their minds at the same time. No matter how high the price of the battleship was, they would still go back and search for it!
While these commanders were studying and discussing, the four-winged birds in the sky continued to appear, and the passengers on them were either believers who had accepted employment, or customers who made sense to purchase warships.
The constant influx of people makes the 1, 5 and 3-bedroom area extremely lively, with moving figures everywhere you look.
Tang Zhen did not contact these believers, but concentrated on transforming the battleship and deploying some necessary facilities on the battleship.
In addition to weapons, the most important area of a battleship is naturally its power system.
The power system of a normal battleship requires a large amount of fuel and special fuel. Obviously this method is not suitable for believers in the Kingdom of God, so Tang Zhen still uses the rune array to drive it.
When transforming the hull, Tang Zhen had already reserved space for arranging the power system. He only needed to inscribe and activate the rune array to push the warship forward.
As for the working principle of the power system, it is actually very simple.
There are water inlets at the front and sides of the battleship. When the water enters it, it will be accelerated by the rune array, and then spray out rapidly from the stern of the ship.
The jet force of the water flow is extremely strong, which is more than enough to propel a battleship. Believers can also directly control the strength of the water flow to achieve acceleration and steering functions.
As for the sacred stones consumed to operate the power system, they can be exchanged in the temple. There is no need to worry about being unable to move due to loss of power.
In addition to the power system, Tang Zhen also arranged the battleship's most important weapon system accordingly.
In addition to the necessary guns and weapons, the battleship will also be equipped with weapons specifically designed for underwater use. After all, monsters basically move underwater, rather than landing on the coast to launch attacks.
If there are no such underwater attack weapons, no matter how many guns and cannons are mounted on the battleship, they will not be able to cause effective damage to the monsters.
