The strongest lord system

Chapter 499 Battleship Test
"Report, it has already driven to the offshore area, out of sight of the pier."

"Full left rudder, keep the current distance from the coastline, and start the speed test. Increase the speed by one knot every minute."

"Yes."

Under the command of the amateur captain Gates, the Tempest has begun to drive quickly on the sea.

"My lord, our Griffon Knights are already on guard nearby, and the trial of the battleship can start safely." Sano walked to Allen's side.

And on the top of the cabin, a griffin is parked there. The setting of this battleship has another great advantage, that is, there are many spacious places, at least twenty griffins can be allowed to stay at the same time.

"Okay. Sano, you were always in the air before, this time you should also enjoy what it feels like to be at sea." Allen said with a smile.

Sano nodded, his eyes were looking at these completely unseen devices around him.

Compared with the unfamiliar Sano, Ke Luo still has a little experience in sea navigation, but this is the first time for him to ride such a large ship.Looking at the calm sea outside the window, he felt a sense of excitement in his heart.

ta ta ta

At this time, the door of the captain's cabin was pushed open, and a white beard with a red face walked in.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing. Just using the boiled water, you can actually make such a big ship sail." White Beard said in amazement.

"Mr. Captain, you will see more surprising things later, and get to know this warship that may become your partner. Otherwise, you might miss it." Allen said with a smile, if This white beard will not be able to achieve his satisfaction at that time, and he doesn't mind changing the captain.

"I like this ship more and more. My lord, the captain of this ship must be me." White Beard said confidently. He looked at Gates who was driving the ship in front of him, although his actions seemed It's a little clumsy, but it's okay in the wide sea, and it's just a trial run anyway.

"Report. The battleship has accelerated to seven knots."

"Report. The ship's speed is now eight knots."

Everyone was satisfied from the beginning, to the excitement later, and then to the surprise later.

"Report. The speed of the battleship has reached fourteen knots. The power room reports that the boiler has already produced slight heat. Whether to continue to accelerate."

Gates smiled and ordered: "Keep accelerating. Our experiment is just beginning now."

Looking at the receding sea outside, White Beard exclaimed, "I never thought that I would be able to sit on such a fast battleship in my lifetime. Perhaps this will become the fastest battleship in the world. "

"It may be the fastest now, but I believe there will be faster than it in the near future." Allen said with a smile.

Correct!
The power of technology is magical. Now that Allen has officially pressed the switch, they will take great strides.

"Report. The speed of the battleship has reached fifteen knots."

"Keep accelerating."

"Report."

"The ship's speed is over sixteen knots. The boilers are already hot."

"Continue to accelerate." Gates has a crazy expression on his face.

It's like a child who has finally been cultivated by himself is performing on the stage.

"The speed of the battleship has exceeded seventeen knots. It is close to alert."

"Go on. Don't stop."

At this time, almost everyone's heart was raised, and Sano and Ke Luo next to them looked at Alan with a little worry.

However, there was no other expression on Alan's face.

Now that he has handed things over to Gates, he will be [-]% at ease.

"The speed of the battleship has reached [-] knots! Captain, this really can't be faster." Even the messenger's forehead was covered with sweat, and his tone was a little trembling.

"Keep this speed for 1 minute, and drop to 1 knots after 1 minute. If there is any special situation within [-] minute, report to me immediately. And order the inspection team in charge of the steam engine to observe and inspect on the spot."

"Yes."

Time passed little by little.

"Report to the captain. One minute is up, and there is nothing wrong with the steam engine and boiler. We need to start slowing down."

"Yes."

"woo woo woo woo."

A loud siren sounded from the cabin roof.

The speed of the battleship also began to slowly drop.

The expressions on everyone's faces finally relaxed a lot.

However, White Beard clenched his fists excitedly.

The fastest speed is eighteen knots!Eighteen festivals, really eighteen festivals!

He is an old crew member, and he has been staring at the outside just now. With his experience, there is no water at this speed.

Although it was only a short one minute, if this happened in a naval battle, it would be enough to change many things.

"Report. The speed of the ship has dropped to fifteen knots. The boiler has cooled down and everything is normal."

"Okay. Go ahead at this speed and let the people from the testing team come over and report the situation to us."

"Yes."

Gates seemed to be relieved at this time, and he turned around to look at Allen behind him.

"My lord, our first step of the test has been completed. Just wait for the inspection team to come and report the situation."

Allen nodded, and he said appreciatively, "Very good. It's great that you can build such a good ship."

ta ta ta

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a few sweaty, naked dwarves walked in.

"Oh. Why don't they wear clothes?" The black rabbit who had been quietly beside him covered his face, and the black cat next to him curled his lips.

Mirana, on the other hand, didn't show any expression. She looked at the scenery outside with a faint smile on her face.

"Report. Everything in the power room is normal, the steam engine is normal, the boiler is in normal use and all the data are normal." The gasping dwarf said excitedly.

The dwarf next to him added: "It's too hot. We must find a way to install a cooling device there, otherwise it will be like standing on top of a fire under the scorching sun in summer. We are not bad like this, the power room Those crew members not only took off their clothes, but also left a big underpants on their lower body.”

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed at once.

"Okay. I will find a way to improve it later." Gates nodded with a smile, and then looked at Allen: "My lord, we can now conduct the second important experiment."

"Well, the weapon is right. Let's start." Allen nodded and said.

"Command. Ten cannons on the left, fire in sequence."

"Yes."

This time, Allen and the others came outside.

The crew on the deck has already begun preparations, and these crew members are all students who graduated from artillery.

Artillery is the major that Alan specially set up at the beginning. He took out the things in his mind and arranged for professional people to conduct experiments. This process was also thanks to Zach's experience as a hunter.

However, the graduation rate of the artillery is relatively low, and Allen's loyalty to the artillery is very high.So this time when the Storm was in service, Allen transferred all the almost forty gunners who graduated, accounting for almost two-thirds of the artillerymen who graduated in the first phase. Allen reflected on it.

However, Allen still emphasized the importance of battleship artillery.So the first thing those artillerymen do when they come to the seaside is to get used to the life on the ship and adapt to the difference between shooting on the ship and on land.

"Preparation is complete, please fire."

"fire."

Allen specifically said to the person next to him at this time: "Stand firm."

"Ah?" Sano and Whitebeard didn't react.

"Boom boom boom boom."

The ten cannons on the left side were fired one by one. Because of the recoil of the cannons, the hull inevitably shook slightly.

"Oh." The black cat didn't stand firm on its feet, and fell into Allen's arms all at once.

"Be careful." Allen said with a smile.

The black cat backed away blushing.

"Oh my God." The white beard next to him looked at the scene in the distance in surprise. The shock just now was nothing to him who was often at sea.

That's almost a distance of 700 meters, where the splashes hit one by one.

An expression of excitement appeared on Ke Luo's face, this is the strength of Stormwind City!

"Report. The launch is complete." The gunner shouted loudly.

"Ten guns on the left are ready, salvo!" Gates shouted again.

"Yes."

"You guys have to stand firm this time." Allen said with a smile.

The black cat grabbed the handrail next to it very wisely this time.

This time Whitebeard and the others widened their eyes, they didn't want to miss any moment.

"Loading complete. Ten guns on the left, ready for salvo."

"emission."

This time, almost everyone's body shook.

Even the hull was tilted by more than ten degrees, but this was temporary for an ironclad ship, and it gradually returned to stability.

In the distance, a water column rose into the sky.

"This weapon..." White Beard swallowed. He looked at those black cylinders. If he had such a weapon, who else could be their opponent at sea? He could attack the enemy from 500 meters away. to attack.

What is the concept of a distance of 500 meters?Even at the average speed of 3 knots on the Storm, it would take about [-] minutes to drive.

If it is the usual ships, it will take at least 5 minutes.

5 minutes, that is simply a living target.

wrong!

Whitebeard seemed to have thought of something. The strong recoil caused by the weapon just now, if it was on an ordinary wooden ship, it would be difficult for the wooden board to withstand that kind of momentum for a long time, unless it was a large wooden warship.

"Because we consider that the enemies of warships in naval battles are generally warships, most of the ammunition warehouses have prepared solid ammunition for a long time, but there are also a few flowering ammunition. However, solid ammunition works best in naval battles, even if we dismantled them before. As long as four or five rounds of solid bullets are applied to the large ships that have been destroyed, they will only sink," Gates said.

Allen nodded, looking at the slowly calming sea, he seemed to have seen a large wreck of the enemy warship there.

The ocean of the future will belong to Stormwind City!
