Chapter 789 The foundation on the water, heading towards the sea of stars!
Tianyuan Territory can be regarded as a "wonderful flower" among the territories in the entire New World.
While other territories were busy developing land warfare weapons, their research target was surface ships.
When other territories gave up land warfare weapons and began to turn to individual weapons, their research goal was still water power.
In the eyes of many uninformed territories, Tianyuan Territory seems to be possessed, completely contrary to the mainstream.
Their combat power is entirely focused on defense and water, and they have little thought for foreign aggression and fighting.
Only very few, or perhaps only the top ten territories in the New World know about it.
The New World is surrounded by sea.
It is this power on the water that makes Tianyuan Territory not afraid of any threats at all, nor any invasion.
On the contrary, once they move, it will be a real terror to other territories!
Free group residence.
Su Mo changed out of the heavy lab coat he usually wore at work, put on a light sportswear, and walked out of the laboratory slowly.
Putting aside his confusion about the future, he is in a very comfortable mood now.
From the time I arrived in Baoyu County in July to September now, more than two months have passed.
After two months of continuous efforts day and night, every component of the Daily Armor was completely completed two days ago, leaving only the final integration.
Among them, about weapons and energy.
The weapons have been applied for by Feng Tianmin in advance and will be brought with them when the fleet arrives.
The Ministry of Energy applied with the Academy of Sciences, and two energy stone batteries with high purity and considerable weight were specially approved.
Coupled with the individual combat system that Feng Long brought over last time, it has now reached the final debugging stage.
In a day or two at most, the Daily War Armor will be able to declare that the first phase of production is complete!
This speed is much less than the three months previously predicted.
After being liberated from the long experiment, I thought about being able to travel to other parts of the wasteland, see different customs and customs, and collect more information about the relics that have not yet been discovered in the real wasteland.
Even on the way to Tianyuan Port, Sumo felt that his thoughts were much lighter.
"How many of our ships have come this time? Before Feng Long, he was so secretive that he refused to tell me."
As the car was driving on the eight-lane road leading to Tianyuan Port, Sumo looked out of the car window and asked.
Tianyuan Port is built in Longgong District.
This place was very abandoned before, but now it has completely changed into a different look, and vigorous development has begun.
Those overgrown lands have now been occupied by construction teams, who have begun constructing various forms of disaster prevention buildings for different purposes.
The dilapidated road has also been repaired, and the sides are paved with neat bricks and stones, making it look very orderly.
Even the unfinished buildings were bought by wealthy people from other cities and counties in Tianyuan territory and started new development.
At this rate of development, this place may become the most prosperous place in the new district over time.
"How many ships?" Bao Lei, who was sitting next to Su Mo, smiled: "Mr. Su, can you guess how many ships we will go out this time?"
"Ten ships?"
Looking at Bao Lei's half-smiling expression, Sumo hesitated, then quickly changed his words: "Fifteen ships?"
If we say that in a land battle, when there are not enough people, we can still use tactics, and there will be a miracle of defeating more with less.
Well, on the water, 99% of the time, the battle is quantity. If you have a small number of ships, you will be beaten!
"Fifteen ships?"
Bao Lei burst out laughing with joy: "Mr. Su, you are looking down on our Tianyuan territory. What kind of threat can this number of ships pose?"
"Fifteen ships are still few. Back then, Su Shen was able to conquer the world with just one ship, and the foreign races on the sea were bombarded and couldn't hold their heads up." As soon as these words came out, Su Mo's curiosity became even more intense.
"That's God Su. There's only one God Su in this wasteland. What's more, the Hope was no ordinary ship." Bao Lei shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice.
"The Ghost of the Hope back then knows how Su Shen built it when he was very poor. Even with our current industrial level, it is impossible to replicate such a terrifying ship. Magistrate Su may not know something.
, the data of that ship is still the top among the top even today. As long as it is replaced with the new weapons we are currently researching, its combat effectiveness can definitely be as good as ten."
Bao Lei was obviously very emotional about the ship Hope.
His words also succeeded in attracting the attention of other people sitting in the car.
"I heard that the Hope is not an ordinary ship. It is a magical ship that can go into the sea and fly into the sky, just like the Black Pearl." Sun Quan couldn't help gossiping: "It's because of him
It can be carried with you, so it was taken away by Su Shen later and disappeared into the wasteland."
"Although it sounds very fantasy that a ship can become bigger or smaller, according to the memories of our first generation citizens, it seems to be true." Wang Qian, who was driving a car, also followed suit, corroborating Sun Quan's gossip.
"Then if Su Shen's Hope encounters our current fleet, who can win?"
Sun Quan raised a constructive and controversial topic.
At this time, other people in the car couldn't help it anymore and began to express their opinions.
Some people speculate that the Hope must be undeniably powerful. It was able to defeat five gods on its own back then, but now it must have no problem defeating ordinary ships.
Some people speculate that the Hope is a ship that has been in the wasteland for a year after all. Even if it is strong, it can only win in a one-on-one battle. Once it comes to a team battle, it will definitely be difficult to defeat four people with two fists.
Sumo heard this and understood.
When choosing weapons for the Sun Chaser Armor, he carefully reviewed the current weapons overview of Tianyuan Territory.
Equipment such as missiles, which were launched in large numbers during World War II, have already been deployed in large quantities.
Although there is no nuclear weapon to assemble, the deterrent effect of this missile is not great.
In addition, in addition to the accuracy, there is no satellite guidance and can only rely on inertial guidance, which is not very accurate.
But for the Hope, which has only one large-caliber cannon, it is still a 100% over-the-horizon strike.
Of course, missiles are not a high threat to a large territory.
In the natural strong magnetic shielding environment of the wasteland, medium and long-range missiles will immediately lose their accuracy when they exceed the distance, even if they are not artificially interfered with.
The launch conditions for short-distance missiles are very harsh, and only a few large territories have the conditions.
The reason why the Tianyuan Navy poses a huge threat is that it can carry short-range missiles around the New World, enough to threaten anywhere.
If the two really meet, as the captain of the Hope, Sumo can only put all his chips on the underwater capabilities.
Only by driving underwater to a certain distance can you have a chance to win.
"arrive!"
During the heated discussion, Wang Qian, who was driving, exclaimed.
Sumo subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance.
This tributary of the Tianhe River introduced from the Changlong Xianjiang River is very wide. The distance between the two sides of the river bank alone exceeds 70 meters, and the depth is nearly 100 meters.
To the south of the river bank, the prototype of Tianyuan Port has been built, covering an area of nearly 500 acres. There are many workers lying on the finished steel frames, and the crackling sound of welding can be heard.
Now on the river.
The original emptiness is no longer there, and now all the empty space is occupied by various types of ships anchored in the simple port.
Thousands of sails compete, hundreds of boats compete for the current.
The first ship that came into sight reminded me of its huge size. At first glance, it was actually no smaller than the Hope at that time.
On it, whether it is the towering warship with the rotating radar, or the various protrusions densely packed with external armor, it is like a steel horse, full of temptation that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
From then on, a series of nine smaller ships were no less impressive than before. They were neatly arranged on the side of the port like buildings, and their angular designs were extremely aggressive.
Further back, there were dozens of small boats densely packed, and people were rushing in and out.
The red and white flags, the blue and black flags, the green and yellow flags, and the big red flag of hope they shared all became part of the field of vision at this time.
Sumo looked at it carefully, the shock in his eyes growing more and more.
"One cruiser, six destroyers, eighteen frigates, and so many escort boats, torpedo boats, and missile boats with different functions."
"Good guy, why are you going to do business here? This is obviously a standard for launching a large-scale battle!"
"County Magistrate Su actually knows these ships?" Bao Lei beside him was a little curious.
"Of course, I couldn't be more familiar with it," Sumo admired sincerely.
Before building the Hope, he spent some time honing his knowledge of sea ships.
From the manufacturing process, to the difficulty of manufacturing, to the advantages and disadvantages of various types of ships, I have learned about them all.
No wonder Feng Tianmin dared to put down his wild words before. As long as the three major territories don't take action, the Tianyuan Navy is enough to crush all dissenters.
Not counting anything else, this largest cruiser alone is enough to send chills to the heart of any territory.
Wang Qian drove the car forward for a distance and stopped near two temporarily built rest rooms.
As soon as he got off the car, Sumo saw many people wearing navy blue military uniforms sitting in the lounge.
The people inside also saw Somo walking down.
Immediately, several people came out to greet him.
The person at the front looked very familiar. When he got closer, Sumo took another look and couldn't help but laugh.
The so-called meeting an old friend in a foreign land, after eight years, he had no idea that the highest officer of the Tianyuan Navy would be here.
It turned out to be.
"Hello, County Magistrate Su, it's our first time meeting you. I never expected that a hero comes from a young age. I've admired you for a long time!"
"I am Lu Yongyi, the supreme commander of the Tianyuan Navy's Shuijing Army, and I am also your deputy for this trip."
Eight years later, Lu Yongyi, who is already over fifty, does not look more vicissitudes than before. On the contrary, he has grown more heroic.
He has a sense of gentleman that is unique to older men, and combined with the seriousness of a soldier, it gives people an indescribable sense of comfort.
Realizing that Somo was looking at him up and down, with a familiar and emotional expression on his face, he was stunned:
"Have County Magistrate Su seen me before?"
"No, but my feeling tells me that we will get along very happily," Sumo replied happily.
"Huh?" Lu Yongyi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his elegant and easy-going face: "It seems like what Feng Long said, County Magistrate Su's words are really interesting, and he really makes me feel like an old friend from the past."
"Old friend" In addition to Lu Yongyi, he looked at several people next to him.
It's not unfamiliar either.
Surprisingly, they were the captains of the big ships who followed Lu Yongyi, and later Zhang Long, Liu Neng, Kong Yangyu, and Dang Qi who followed him into the deep sea.
I don’t know what happened back then, but everyone was still able to contact each other without him, and finally gathered together miraculously.
Lu Yongyi did not go to join the Longqi Territory, but chose to stay in the Tianyuan Territory and became a part of it.
After greeting these people one by one, a few people began to walk into the rest hall.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Yongyi couldn't wait to say:
"According to Commander Feng's order, all operations of the fleet this time are entirely based on County Magistrate Su's orders. We are only supporting the normal operation of the fleet."
"It only takes us three days at most to prepare the logistics, and then we can set off and go down the Taichang Longxian River."
"Three days? It's just the right time. The merchant ships are preparing some of the goods I want to take out." Sumo nodded slightly. This time, it was not just the fleet traveling with the fleet, but also hundreds of cargo ships that came with temporary signs.
Usually, these ships run along the coastline and conduct some short-distance resource transactions. This time, after opening up the Tianhe River, it was easy to sail to Baoyu County.
"In addition to opening up trade routes this time, Commander Feng should have assigned you other tasks, right?" Sumo asked again.
"Yes, in addition to our cruise on Changlong Xianjiang to eliminate some threats, we also have to deal with some troubles that we couldn't solve due to distance this time.
There are several small territories supported by our Tianyuan Territory that are often bullied by neighboring territories, and this time we go down to establish our authority." Lu Yongyi replied.
"It just happened to happen. It's time for the outside world to see our true strength." Sumo nodded in agreement.
Now that I have decided not to keep a low profile anymore, there is no need to be secretive. It is not a bad thing to be completely high-profile.
At the very least, the territory of Changlong Xianjiang can think carefully about the cost of destruction before destroying trade routes.
We talked about this topic for a while, and waited until the meal was served.
Sumo originally wanted to ask again about the choice of route for this trip.
"You are making trouble unreasonably. Working hours are not cheaper than trading points. I refuse."
Suddenly, a loud quarrel could be heard faintly outside the noisy lounge.
At first, the sound was very weak, but later it became more and more intense, as if a conflict had broken out.
"I'll go out and take a look."
After catching some key words, Sumo frowned and immediately stood up and walked out of the lounge.
Standing behind the door and looking towards the source of the sound, his face suddenly darkened.
In the temporary trading area planned near the port, a group of murlocs dressed in sky-blue Tianyuan Navy uniforms were surrounding a stall selling barbecue.
The stall is run by a mother and a daughter. The mother in front of her is protecting her daughter tightly and arguing with the fish man.
"What bullshit working hours system? Why can't our fish-human tribe's trading point work in your Baoyu County?"
A strong-looking fish man stood in front of the stall, holding a bamboo stick after eating the skewers in his hand, gesticulating up and down at the mother and daughter.
"That's right, the trading point can be used anywhere. In exchange for the working hours you can only use in Baoyu County, you will make a lot of money."
"Don't be ungrateful. Eating your barbecue is to give you face. Don't you humans just like face?" The surrounding murlocs also laughed.
"Fart, of course we charge the transaction points, but none of the transaction points can be used to deduct two working hours, so a 50% discount is required." Protecting her daughter behind her, the older mother still argued hard.
However, following the girl's frightened screams, these fishmen not only did not retreat, but became even more excited.
They picked up the half-finished kebabs from the barbecue stalls without paying first, then put them in their mouths and started chewing them, occasionally spitting out some food residue.
"Where did these fishmen come from?"
Su Mo's face turned cold obviously, and he asked Lu Yongyi coldly as he walked out.
These murlocs are not the obedient murlocs in the White Sand Ruins. They all look like ruffians.
Having been attacked by a fishman before, Sumo already had a lot of prejudices in his heart.
If he hadn't learned from Chen Shen the 'truth' why they were so rebellious, he would have rushed up to them by now.
But even so, even in the territory in the ruins, he could no longer tolerate the presence of such a disobedient fish-men in his territory.
If others can't do it, that's okay.
As the "sea god" of the fish people, Somo's idea from beginning to end is to treat the fish people as vassals of human beings and as part of the construction of the territory.
If these fishmen want to ride on the heads of humans and dominate, they can only rely on one mistake to become a privileged class.
Sorry, he has never shown any mercy to the aliens in the White Sand Ruins or to the aliens in the wasteland!
