She Is Not a Witch

It was already the end of July when Lorraine Hill returned to the Xiangyu faction.

At this time, the weather is hot, and the cicadas are constantly singing outside the window, but there is clear spring water flowing through the main hall on the top of the mountain. .

The cool water vapor dispelled the heat in the air, and even the summer wind blowing in from the outside became much more comfortable. At this moment, Lorraine Hill was sitting on the wide wooden chair in the center, taking a nap.

It is said to be a wooden chair, but the material used is very rare. It is yellow toon wood produced in the secret area of ​​the Xiangyu School. The wood is thick and dense, and it is heavier than gold and iron. . But the most striking thing is not the wooden chair the girl is sitting on, but the light yellow wooden wall behind her.

The entire wall seems to be cut from a huge piece of wood, it is incomparably complete, and its color is like snow, with a hint of soft yellow in it. On this wooden wall, a phoenix is ​​painted and engraved, its feathers are like bright yellow young leaves, It is delicate and clear in texture, and its color flows and changes, and it gets darker as it reaches the end, like a faint red glow. The whole painting is about ten meters high, and it complements the girl sitting under the painting, which is especially compatible and beautiful .

The head with closed eyes leaned on the back of the chair. As the girl breathed, her chest slowly rose and fell, and the eyelashes on her eyes also changed slightly. Her long black hair was combed straight, falling on her chest and behind her. A few are bent because of the folds of the clothes, separated from the public, and scattered playfully on one side.

In the morning, Lorraine Hill discussed a lot of things with the members of the Xiangyu faction in this hall. After the discussion, she felt a little sleepy, so she thought about sitting for a while and waiting for everyone to leave before going back to rest. But he didn't want to sit down, so he fell asleep in the hall.

Looking at the girl's cute sleeping posture, the few people who stayed behind were unwilling to wake her up. They just stood by the door of the main hall and waited to prevent others from suddenly coming in and waking her up. And just like that, Lorraine Hill fell asleep Noon, until now.

The sun was shining outside the main hall, and cicadas were chirping cheerfully in the shade of leaves. Occasionally, a few soon-ripe yellow fruits emerged from the green leaves, hanging on the treetops and swaying in the wind.

Maybe it was because she slept for a long time, Lorraine Hill's head slowly slid down from the back of the chair leaning on the side, and after a pause, she suddenly woke up from the dream.

"This is..." The memory in my mind has not been fully recovered, and I only vaguely remember the scene in the dream just now.

In the dream, she seems to be living in a technologically advanced world, the society is very peaceful, she is still in high school, and there are a few familiar classmates and friends in the class, including her own tablemate Keti, sitting in the front row , Sifner, who can play the piano and sing, Brenard, a literary girl with a cold personality in the back corner, teacher Trinasha, the head teacher, and some familiar and vague names, but unfortunately they were forgotten all of a sudden.

'It feels like a good dream, but why is it in high school. ’ Lorraine Hill recalled that high school in her previous life was full of homework and papers, and she was not happy at all.

Sitting on the chair, Lorraine Hill stretched his back, then shook his head to wake himself up, and then looked around again.

Fortunately, there was no one in the hall just now, if someone saw that lazy look, it would really break the image, Lorraine Hill felt a little lucky in his heart.

After standing up and taking a few steps, it seemed that he was not so sleepy. Lorraine Hill thought about going to Senior Sister Jinhua, but felt that Senior Sister Jinhua might be taking a nap or practicing.

Still don't bother, go down the mountain to see how the dragon boat is built.

After sorting out the backlog of affairs in the Xiangyu faction in the morning, the most critical point is that the disciples in charge of building the dragon boat reported that the progress is almost over.

After rearranging her hair and dress, Lorraine Hill walked out of the hall, only then did the two people standing by the door find out, and then said hello.

"Hello Senior Sister Luolan~" Looking at the smiles on the corners of the two people's mouths, Luolan Hill didn't know that his nap in the hall was exposed.

That's all, anyway, I don't want to maintain such a dignified image for a long time.

"Have you been staying here?"

"Yes." The two nodded again.

"Thank you, but you don't have to stand here all the time, go and do your own business."

The two responded a few more words before leaving the hall.

This time there will be no disciples to follow, and Lorraine Hill's footsteps are much lighter. She jumped directly from the cliff, gliding down like a bird, passing through the long valley, avoiding the canyon along the way and cliffs, and then gradually descended into a valley with densely populated houses.

It is very close to the Xiangyu Pai Mountain Gate, and there are wide wooden rails leading to the outside. From time to time, trains pull materials and goods in and out, loading and unloading various things, and the keel of a huge ship has been built in a tall house under the cliff beside it. The interior began to be filled with various structures and facilities, and each floor would be inspected by true disciples from the faction, and the lines would be imprinted with reinforced magic circles.

Lorraine Hill's gaze moved past the window, then his figure gently landed in front of the open door, and walked in.

The crisp chiseling and knocking sounds echoed in the empty house. About five hundred craftsmen gathered in the valley dock. Under the command of members of the faction, some engraved the magic circle, poured liquid metal to condense, and the scene was hot and orderly.

"Master Lolan." A true disciple in this huge workshop saw the girl walking in, and walked quickly.

"Hush, don't say anything." Lorraine Hill put her finger up in front of her body, telling the person in front of her to keep her voice down. Now that she has a special status, if she is recognized, she will probably be welcomed with great fanfare, and now she has to stop working for a while. I will.

After calming down the familiar true disciple, Lorraine Hill walked up the stairs on the side wall of the workshop, and then stood on the third floor overlooking the huge keel and prototype of the floating boat in the workshop, thinking about its completion. What will it look like afterwards.

"Which batch is it now?" Lorraine Hill asked.

"This is the third batch, and it is also the largest floating boat and dragon boat manufactured so far," said the disciple.

It turns out that there are several types of empty boats built by the Xiangyu faction. First, a batch of small ones were made to test the technology and verify the effect. Large-scale empty boats are called dragon boats to distinguish them from ordinary empty boats because their functional structure is quite different.

Although the country of Oz was destroyed hundreds of years ago, its craft of manufacturing floating battleships has not been completely lost, and a part of it has been handed down through various methods. Simplified and miniaturized, a large number of floating airships were produced. The Young Moon Council is used to manufacture warships at sea and specialize in naval battles. As for the East, it retains some primitive and complete skills. The airship is so flexible and fast, but its advantage is that it is huge and can carry more people and goods.

Several techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to say which one is more advanced. Now Lorraine Hill has integrated the skills of the three, and then improved some of them before teaching them to the disciples and craftsmen in the faction, but the design is ultimately It is a design, and it needs to be adjusted continuously in practice, which requires a lot of time and personnel, which is why Lorraine Hill asked the Xiangyu faction to recruit a large number of craftsmen.

"According to the knowledge imparted by the senior sister in charge, we have made a lot of adjustments. The plan adopted by the ship in front of us is the most stable in terms of comprehensive effect. Compared with ordinary floating boats, this dragon boat can reach the upper limit after being accelerated by the turbo fire in the ship. 100 kilometers per hour, no matter how fast it is, but not for a long time, otherwise it will damage the hull of the ship."

"The outer deck of the dragon boat is made of yellow toon wood produced in Xiang Yu's secret territory. Its quality is similar to that of the golden rank. With our current reserves, we can build up to fifty similar dragon boats."

"Because I sent many years of reserves in wood grain technology to take advantage of these materials, the engraved twenty-one-layer cotinus cotinus can stabilize the wind gust, so that the overall hull can easily withstand the full blow of a sixth-order transcendent. If It is the existence of the seventh level, and it may cause a small number of injuries, of course, this is because there are not enough disciples on the ship to cast the magic circle."

"If each dragon boat is equipped with about 50 seventh-level true disciples, the dragon boat can temporarily resist the attack of the eighth-level "climbing" practitioners, and this time is enough to support other surrounding dragon boats to come to support."

"In terms of attack, the crimson oars on both sides of the dragon boat use the fire bird burning feather formation provided by 'Zhu Zhan Huo Lianyuan'. This formation can not only be used by a single ship, but also by multiple ships. If there are more than sixteen ships , then it can form a large formation of fire and phoenix that covers the sky, wherever it goes, the flames are fierce, burning gods and killing demons, it was used by Zhu Zhan's disciples of Huo Lianyuan in the early days of the dynasty, and it is famous all over the world."

"In addition to the fire feather paddle sails used in large-scale military battles, there is an improved main gun of our "Incense and Burning Sun Array" on the main shaft inside the hull. Three types of prefabricated fuel powder are added to the gun barrel to recirculate, and the high temperature is applied. Ignite it to trigger, and then use the magic circle in the barrel to spray out the phlogiston that ignites the drastic change, and then it can sweep and penetrate the enemies in front of it."

"Such a powerful main gun, I remember there are many shortcomings."

"Yes, because energy is needed to restrain the phlogiston in the gun barrel and shoot it out when the artillery is stored and fired, so it will take out most of the energy supply of the dragon ship, which will cause the dragon ship to lose a lot of power and speed within a few minutes before and after launch. It will drop a lot, but according to the test of the same school in the school, it is still worth sacrificing a short-term speed to fire a powerful shot. Even a monster of Sequence 8, facing the full-scale shooting of the main gun, is still worth it. would be greatly hurt.”

"Well, apart from the main gun, after all, not every enemy will stand still in front of the artillery fire."

"We have also verified a lot of solutions for this problem. There are currently two ideas. The first is to deploy four Hanxing ballistas on the front deck of the dragon ship. This is the technique of "Fenxiang Guanxingfu". Made of fine steel from Beihai, it uses the star-linking array of Guanxing Mansion, which not only has the effect of breaking demons and armor, but also infuses mana with mana when launching, making it even more powerful. Outside the cannon, there are thirty-six thunderbolt and blue thunder mirrors on both sides of the ship, which can be used by disciples of 5-7 ranks. Even if an agile enemy cannot be pierced by electric shock immediately, it can still be paralyzed and fall, losing speed."

"The second plan is a little different, that is, instead of configuring the Hanxing Ballista and Thunderbolt Blue Thunder Mirror, the internal space is vacated, and the eight Youhuo Skeletal Owls provided by the 'Ning Zizhao Night Palace' are equipped. It can sneak in the form of a ghost, and fly extremely long distances to attack or investigate."

"This seems to be good too. The two solutions can be used together." Lorraine Hill nodded.

"The ship currently under construction is the No. 1 design, right?"

"Yes, design No. 2 is currently only built for verification."

"If you build a few more ships in the No. 2 design, let's build them according to the ratio of 5:1. If you build five dragon boats in the No. 1 design, build one in the No. 2 design."

"Yes, my lord." The true disciple nodded excitedly, then picked up the cardboard at hand and recorded it.

After writing a few strokes, he suddenly thought of something and asked.

"It would be very cumbersome to always call these two designs No. 1 and No. 2. I don't know if the master can name them for them?"

"Choose a name." Lorraine Hill blinked, feeling that this kind of thing is really a headache.

Just pick one, it feels too frivolous, after all, it is everyone's hard work, but if it is too special and too obscure, it feels artificial.

It's really embarrassing for me, the girl thought to herself, but it's not good to refuse, otherwise some members of the faction will be disappointed, after all, everyone hopes that their efforts will be recognized.

After pondering for a while, Lorraine Hill finally adopted the familiar naming method from his previous life.

"The first design scheme is called the 'Qingdian-class' dragon boat, and the second is called the 'Purple Owl-class' dragon boat, so that it is convenient to add numbers and iterations in the future, such as the No. Four generations of ships, like this."

"Thank you, Sir, for your name." The true disciple continued to write excitedly, and then asked and reported many things before gradually retreating.

After he left, Lorraine Hill finally had some free time. Standing by the fence, he looked down at every detail and corner of the dragon ship under construction, and compared it with the sky battleship in Oz in his memory.

In terms of technology and overall quality, the current dragon boats can't reach the level of Oz's peak period, and there is almost a generation gap. After all, Dorothy set extremely high standards at that time in preparation for entering space.

But this can’t be helped. Industry is the progress of the entire system. At present, most parts of the East are still agricultural societies, which lack sufficient industrial foundation. If metal hulls, various mechanical transmissions, electronic signals, and magic guidance systems are used, The manufacturing difficulty will be several times higher, and it is estimated that Clancia can achieve it now. In fact, when Lorraine Hill left the Western Continent, they had already touched the threshold of the country of Oz back then.

After sorting out and researching during this period, Lorraine Hill discovered that the extraordinary skills and crafts of the Eastern factions are actually not bad, and the foundation can even be said to be very rich. With a little improvement and integration, a powerful dragon ship warship can be produced, but Why did the previous dynasties and factions in the world never take this path? It’s just that the Hanshan Yanxingmen has a preliminary attempt in this area, and the floating boats in the faction are cruising all over the world.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lorraine Hill finally asked Senior Sister Jinhua and some disciples in the faction to gradually understand the reason, probably because he didn't realize it at all, or there was no need for it.

Just like a person with a very wealthy life, if you ask him to work hard to earn a lot of money, he may not want to do it, because he is living a comfortable life now, why bother to go to the trouble~www.readwn.com~If not In fact, the rule of the dynasty can be described as extremely stable. There are loyal ministers and good generals inside, and there are major door-to-door assistance outside. Yes don't worry. Anyone living in such an environment would not have too much pressure and motivation to break the existing rules of interest and do something special and risky.

With this time and energy, it is better to focus on yourself, climb the nine-story ladder, and become a flying fairy is the right way. This is the thinking of many practitioners in the East.

'However, times are always changing. ’ Lorraine Hill walked through the long corridor in the sky, and the yellow dress fluttered slightly, reflecting the little golden threads in the changing environment of light and dark.

"It's time for everyone to realize the cruelty of the world and the change of the times."

Finally, she stood under the open window sill, the bright light slanted through the dust, and shone on her back, as well as the gradually forming huge battleship below.

The roar of steam gradually sounded.
