Peerless Tang Sect: Starting from the Sun and Moon Empire

Chapter 161
"You two, please come aboard with me."

Captain Shi turned around and made a "please" gesture. Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen also nodded and stepped forward. Opposite the three of them at the Risheng Port, the ship known as the most powerful ship of the Sun and Moon Royal Navy was moored. Excellent battleship Yaori.

The three of them walked side by side. Shi Dongsheng stared at the Yaori and introduced Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen:

"What is in front of you is the largest battleship of the Royal Navy of our Sun and Moon Empire, the Yaori."

Huo Yuhao walked towards the seemingly large Yaori that was moored at the end of the port. He listened carefully to Captain Shi's explanation and carefully looked at this ship, which was known as the most advanced ship in the Sun and Moon Navy.

To say big, this battleship is indeed the largest. It is about the same size as the British Royal Navy's Dreadnought battleship in the history of the earth. It is 150 meters long and 25 meters wide. It is the same size as other small battleships in the navy that are less than [-] meters long. A sharp contrast.

In order to support such a large battleship to sail at a qualified speed, the Yaori is equipped with a power system of large sails and bottom soul-guided mechanical paddles charged by soul mentors.

It can be said to be a relatively primitive power propulsion device. But there is nothing to be done about it. The Yaori is nearly 500 years old. When it was built, there was no automatic advanced power system such as sealed milk bottles.

The weapon system of the Yaori is relatively simple and rough. It looks like the wooden ships from the Middle Ages on Earth. There are countless fixed soul-guided cannon muzzles protruding from the center of the hull. The calibers of the muzzles vary. Huo Yuhao roughly estimates that the largest one among them is There is no problem in firing a level nine fixed soul guided shell from the muzzle.

In addition to the fixed soul-guided artillery shells, there are concussion bombs that can be launched at the bottom of the sea. As Captain Shi said, concussion bombs have a good attack effect on large groups of sea soul beasts, and the shock waves in the water can spread far away. At such a distance, even if the not-so-powerful sea soul beast survived the strong shock, it would be frightened enough to run away.

As for the defense part, the Yaori is permanently stationed with a 500-man soul mentor group. Facing the fierce attack from the sea soul beasts, after turning on the linked defense array shield soul guide, the Yaori can still protect the Yaori from attack. for a period of time.

In addition, the material strength of Yaori's hull is relatively average. As Huo Yuhao said before, the interior of the hull is made of ironwood, which is relatively strong. However, the outer shell of the hull is , but it is a layer of 22 mm thick star silver steel that is famous for its sturdiness. Its own defensive capabilities can only be said to be okay, but it is definitely not possible to rely on the shell of the ship itself to withstand the attack of the sea soul beast.

After listening to Captain Shi's introduction, the three of them also went up the stairs to the Yaori. Huo Yuhao finally understood why the Royal Navy of the Sun and Moon Empire only had one Yaori - such a battleship would require a whole 500 A human-organized soul engineer group has been escorted. How many such soul engineer groups are there in the Sun and Moon Empire?
In addition, due to the threat of sea spirit beasts, the number of important coastal cities on Douluo Continent is small, so it is meaningless to build a large-scale navy. It is no wonder that the Sun and Moon Empire has not invested much in the navy.

The greatest significance of the Yaori created by the royal family in the future war against Douluo and the Three Kingdoms is that it can blast open a gate to the Star Luo Empire on the southern coast with a whole group of soul engineers and countless custom-installed soul cannons. Cooperate with the army to conduct a pincer attack.

But Huo Yuhao wanted to go to the other two continents besides Douluo Continent to explore and search for precious resources in the future. In this way, the importance of a powerful navy to resist the sea soul beasts became highlighted.

Apart from the future mission of fighting against the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Yaori cannot be a useless vessel now. The biggest mission of this large battleship is to resist the harassment attacks launched by sea soul beasts on human cities from time to time, and every time After a while, they will go out to sea to hunt some sea soul beasts, obtain some precious things from the sea soul beasts, and appropriately deter the sea soul beasts so that they will not attack the normal sea fleets that go out to sea to catch fish in the human world.And today is the day when the Yaori is ready to go out to sea to carry out the mission of hunting sea soul beasts.

After boarding the Yaori, Huo Yuhao saw the scenery above the deck. There was nothing special about the layout. The captain's cabin, sails, and some large turrets were all available. The only difference was that Huo Yuhao saw some black metal pillars standing on the deck. The edges are scattered everywhere.

"What is this, Captain Stone?"

Huo Yuhao pointed to the metal pillars and asked doubtfully.

"Oh, this is the fixed version of the linked soul guide. Different from the mobile version of the single-player linked soul guide, these large ones require at least three basic soul guide regiment soldiers to charge. Correspondingly, their aggregated soul power The attack and defense capabilities formed cannot be underestimated. Compared with the fixed soul-guided artillery shells, the attack power of the equipment on the Yaori that needs to be controlled by the soldiers of the Soul Engineer Corps is more flexible."

Looking at these simple metal pillars, but with a hint of chilling atmosphere, Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully. If Captain Shi knew that Mingdetang had developed a sealed milk bottle that could automatically charge the soul guide, How exciting would it be?

With the sealed milk bottle, you will have a lot of confidence to face the attack of the sea soul beast. The only problem is probably the huge consumption of soul power. Judging from the information added by Captain Shi, the Yaori The previous team of 500 soul engineers took turns charging the linked soul guide, but it was only enough to keep it running for about an hour.

Huo Yuhao also saw many soldiers of the soul mentor regiment who were ready to go. Different from those of the army division, they were all wearing white navy uniforms.

Some soldiers looked with curiosity at the pair of handsome men and women who followed Captain Shi aboard the ship. But more soldiers looked at them with scrutiny and questioning - there were many noble young ladies who were attracted by them in the past. The elders sent them to the Yaori to go to sea to see the world, but because they were spoiled and spoiled, their pretentious behavior after going to sea still made the soldiers feel a lot of disgust.

Going to sea is not a vacation. These soldiers who often go to sea, even if they are third-, fourth-, or even fifth-, sixth- and seventh-level soul mentors, have gained some sense of the vicissitudes of the sea and the wind and sun under the ravages of the sea. These two came again. Can it be done by pretty boys and girls who look like they have tender skin and tender flesh?This is what most soldiers really think.

But they were soldiers after all. After paying a little attention to Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, they all stood at attention and turned their attention to their commander Shi Dongsheng who was boarding the ship.

"You two go to the room below the deck and settle down for a while. This is the access card for your room with the house number on it. It will take at least half a day to get to the sea area where sea soul beasts appear frequently."
