Chapter 83 Structural Strengthening
"They only separated three whales to intercept, instead of the whole group of whales swarming up. This is not good news." Yaha looked at the distant track and said to Xia Ye.

"why?"

"Because for whales, witches are both hunters and prey, and cups filled with magic power are very delicious food for them. Therefore, although a single whale encounters a whaling ship, it can only escape; but if it is a group of whales , They usually swarm up and scramble to hunt us 'prey'.

"But now, they have only sent three whales to intercept us, which shows that they have more pressing matters than hunting—and this matter may be escape."

Yaha finished explaining, and shouted to the megaphone: "Second officer, report the speed and distance of the three whales. Also, have you found any traces of the moth beast?"

A few seconds later, Tang Li's voice came: "The absolute speed is 120 knots, the relative speed is 450 knots, the distance is 8 nautical miles, and it is rapidly approaching... There is still no trace of the moth within 30 nautical miles."

"strangeness."

Yaha frowned. If the moth beasts were still far away, the whales obviously didn't need to run away in such a hurry, but if they were already close, where were they?
But the situation in front of her can no longer allow her to think too much, 8 nautical miles, which is already within the attack range of whales.

“1、2号结构师进入同步强化状态，维持时间60秒，60秒后由3、4号结构师接手。”雅哈发出命令。

Almost at the same time, Xia Ye saw two witches walking to both sides of the turret. They didn't wear shoes and socks, and they stepped barefoot on the metal deck.The two folded their hands in front of their chests, and when they spoke, the metal on the entire ship also "hummed" and trembled, and they "chanted" the Witch Mantra in sync with the two witches:

"S-tr-tCnft"

It means "Structural Strengthening".

In the next second, dozens of translucent silk threads appeared between the two witches. They were suspended in the air without any weight, and each stretched into a full circular arc. When Xia Ye saw them for the first time, he immediately It reminds me of the magnetic force lines between the two poles of the magnet in the original world.

But the lines of magnetic force are just fictional things made by human beings to facilitate the understanding of the magnetic field, but these silk lines in front of us actually exist.Not long after the two were connected by silk threads, more silk threads emerged from various positions of the whaling ship, drew long arcs, and connected to the two witches.

At this moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone on the bodies of the three whales charging head-on.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ye saw hundreds of golden light beams shooting into the sky at a nearly vertical angle at the same time!

In the blink of an eye, these light beams reached the arc top of the trajectory, they stayed there for less than a second, and then, like a falcon discovering prey, they rushed straight towards the whaling ship.

"Whale breath!"

The helmsman yelled, subconsciously turning the rudder——

But Yaha stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the steering wheel:

"and many more."

She looked up at the sky, and waited until the light beam had dropped nearly halfway from its highest position, before pushing the wheel violently:
"Full right rudder!!" She roared out the order.

The rudder turned rapidly in the hands of the helmsman, and was soon driven to the right to the bottom.The Moby Dick, advancing at a high speed of 330 knots, tilted sharply to the right, drawing a circular white track in the sea of ​​golden clouds.

As the whaling ship changed direction, the beams of light in mid-air also changed direction, and straight trajectories began to appear arcs, but their altitude was too low and their speed was too fast, and those on the opposite edge were doomed to fail to move forward. hit the target.

A second later, the first beam of light landed more than ten meters away from the port side of the Moby Dick, piercing a big hole through the thick clouds.

Immediately afterwards, more beams of light fell densely from the sky like a rain of golden arrows.

Yaha's command made the whaling ship avoid most of the beams, but the rest still hit the steering hull with full rudder. When the first beam landed on the front deck, the beams followed with a huge "bang". It exploded.

Although there was a lot of movement, the hull only shook slightly. Xia Ye looked at the location where he was hit, and found that it was scorched black, as if struck by lightning, and there was a shallow dent on the flat deck, but it was just That's all - the seemingly mighty golden light beam couldn't even penetrate the deck, let alone damage the cabins below.

After that, the whaling ship was hit by more than a dozen beams of light in succession, but none of them caused too much damage.Xia Ye suddenly realized that this was the effect of the "Structural Strengthening" contract, and only through simultaneous strengthening could such high-intensity strengthening be completed.

"Structural strengthening" is the contract of the "Paimon" column system, the highest rank is 8th rank.

Through the explanation obtained from Lucana before departure, Xia Ye knew that starting from the fourth level of "Structural Strengthening", an ability called "Synchronous Strengthening" would be added.As long as the body of the contracted person keeps in contact with any mechanical structure in a broad sense, he can use "synchronous reinforcement" to greatly increase the physical strength of himself and the machine within a certain period of time, but at the same time, the two The damage suffered by either party will also be shared.

At the same time, if more than one contract holders of the same rank use "Structural Strengthening" at the same time, then the strength of the whole formed by them can be further improved, but the effect of this improvement will increase as the number of people increases. become less and less obvious.

Witches who have signed a "Structural Strengthening" contract of level 4 or above are called "structuralists" on the whaling ship. They are the key to ensuring that the whaling ship is not easily destroyed by whales, and they are also one of the most important positions on the whaling ship. .

On an ordinary whaling ship, there are generally only two structural engineers who rotate with each other, but the Moby Dick has a total of five, so it is very luxurious to use a 2+2 rotation method, that is, two structural engineers are arranged in each round. A structural engineer strengthens the hull at the same time.

The effect of this is obvious. The light beam called "whale breath" by the whalers did not even penetrate the armor of the Moby Dick. As for the two structural engineers who "shared damage" with the hull, except on the waist and thighs Aside from a few minor bruises, there were no more serious injuries on the body.

...As for why Xia Ye could see the bruises on the opponent's waist, it was because after more than a dozen whale breath attacks, the sailor suits on the two constructors were damaged to varying degrees.

Although cloth, as a kind of textile structure, can also be strengthened to a normal degree by the structure engineer, but because it is not a machine, it cannot obtain the special strengthening effect of "synchronous reinforcement". Therefore, compared to the structure engineer himself, the dresses on them are more much more fragile.

boom! ! !
Another whale breath hit the front deck, just hitting the structural engineer standing on the right side of the turret.
