Four hundred and fifty-four chapters all boats go together
After boarding the ironclad ship, stepping on the hard floor and stroking the cold railings, Zhan Chen finally felt that this ship was truly an ironclad ship, with every part not made of metal refining materials.
This made him more and more curious, how could such a boat float on the water without sinking?
At this time, the cabin door was open. Zhan Chen entered it and followed the stairs to the lobby on the first floor. He found that there were already more than a hundred people gathered there. Most of them were like himself and were in the realm of Martial Saint Dzogchen.
, they are all full of heaven and high-spirited, and they are all obviously successful people. They are either overlords of one party or rising geniuses.
This boat can carry more than a hundred people, and each person has a thousand middle-grade immortal stones. The total adds up to one hundred thousand middle-grade immortal stones. Once the boat is off, the ferryman will earn a lot of money. Zhan Chen thought silently.
At this time, a man in Xuanyi next to him suddenly said to him: Your Excellency, please find a seat and sit down first. After a while, our captain will announce something important.
Zhan Chen nodded and found a place to sit down. They waited until noon before they saw an old man with white hair and beard and four people filing in through the cabin door.
Zhan Chen recognized at once that two of them were the powerful Taoists he had seen before, and the other three, including the leading old man, could not see through their cultivation either.
Said that these five people are all powerful in Taoism
The leading old man walked up to the stage alone and faced everyone and said: Everyone, I am Chen Qiming, who is at the middle level of Yuan Dynasty and serves as the captain of this armored ship. The four people behind me are Liu Ren, Xu Tai, Wang Meng and Zhao Yuan.
, they all have a glimpse of the early Yuan Dynasty
With the five of us escorting you, we will definitely be able to bring everyone to Wanfa Continent smoothly. However, there are a few things that you need to pay attention to on this ship. I will send them to each of you later.
A metal token.
Having said this, he took out a metal token from his storage ring, showed it to everyone, and introduced: This token is the key to your respective rooms. The journey to Wanfa Continent is long and full of challenges.
It is dangerous and may even take several years. Therefore, I would like to advise everyone to go out as little as possible and stay in their own rooms.
If we really have something to notify, the information will be conveyed through the sound transmission spiritual array in each room. There are also several places that are forbidden to enter, including the ship's wheelhouse and the engine room on the bottom of the deck, which are the critical areas of the ship.
I hope everyone can understand
After saying this, Chen Qiming ordered people to distribute the tokens to everyone. After Zhan Chen got the token, he walked up the stairs according to the instructions on the token, and finally found it in the back corner of the fourth floor of the top floor.
own room.
Opening the door with a token, Zhan Chen walked into it. It was a small room with only a dozen square meters, and it was full of metal atmosphere. The surrounding walls were made of metal. The furnishings were simple, with only the ceiling
A lamp, an iron bed on the floor, an iron table, an iron chair, and nothing else.
He also noticed that there was a thick transparent glass window on one wall. Through the window, one could see the rows of buildings and boats on the harbor outside.
After tidying up the room a little, Zhan Chen sat in the center of the room and slowly entered a state of cultivation. However, he was only in shallow retreat and could wake up from the retreat at any time.
Time passed quickly, the sun set in the west and rose in the east, and a new day arrived in the blink of an eye. While he was still in retreat, he heard a voice coming from the teleportation spirit array on the wall next to him: Passengers, ferryman 13
The ferry is about to depart on the 13th, please be prepared. Passengers, the ferryman is about to depart on the 13th, please be prepared.
He hurriedly finished his work, stood up, and murmured: Is it finally done?
So I quickly left the room, went down the stairs, walked out of the cabin, and came to the deck, where I saw what a spectacular sight it was.
Thousands of boats were sailing on the vast sea, and all large and small boats seemed to have received a unified order. They all hoisted their sails and left the harbor to sail towards the outside of the harbor.
The ironclad ship also started up at this time, and bursts of roars came from its body. This steel behemoth had no sails, and there were no busy crew members on the deck, but it began to move, slowly heading towards the sea, and merged into the ship.
Among the fleet, it seemed to be just an inconspicuous little grain of sand in the vast fleet. However, it quickly stood out, leaving behind its opponents who were much larger than it.
Zhan Chen, who was on the deck, had a deep understanding of this. He only heard the roar below the deck began to increase, like the roar of a giant beast, or like the galloping of thousands of horses, and a long line was lined up at the tail of the ironclad ship.
The waves of water rushed forward at once, nearly twice as fast as an ordinary sailboat.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh: I really didn't expect that this giant ship made of metal could float smoothly on the water and reach such a speed. How much energy would it have to expend to push it?
Brother, this is your first time riding an armored ship.
Suddenly a voice floated from beside him. Zhan Chen turned his head and saw that it was a young man in rich clothes standing next to him who was talking to him, and he smiled and replied: Yes.
The young man said again: My name is Cai Qing, what is your name?
My name is Zhan Chen. By the way, judging from your tone, this may not be your first time riding on this armored ship.
Cai Qing nodded and said: Yes, my family does business on Ninghai Island, not far from Jizhou Island, and often takes this kind of ship. It is very common for us to use iron-clad ships for navigation there, but they are generally larger in size.
They are very small, the longest one is only twenty meters, and they are not as huge as the ferryman's iron-clad ship.
Zhan Chen wondered: How can an iron ship like this float on the sea?
Cai Qing smiled slightly and said: Zhan Chen, you don't understand this. The buoyancy of the ship relies on the buoyancy to float on the water. Although the outer shell of the armored ship is made of metal, the inside is hollow, so it can naturally float smoothly on the water.
Fuli Zhanchen thought to himself, and after a while he smiled and said: This is because I am ignorant. Fortunately, I gained insight after listening to Brother Cai's explanation today. After a pause, he asked again: How can such a large armored ship drive so fast?
Could it be driven by the spiritual array?
Cai Qing nodded and said with a smile: You guessed it right this time. The actions of the armored ship are different from our ordinary sailing ships. It relies on the power of the spiritual formation and requires a large amount of yuan stones. Ironclad ships are common in my hometown.
It is built small. Firstly, it is too big and our spiritual formation cannot push it forward. Secondly, it consumes too much energy to drive it. Generally, only big forces will build a few ships. But it also has advantages, so
It is much stronger than ordinary sailing boats and can withstand wind and waves.
When Zhan Chen heard what he said, he had another question in his mind: Then, why didn't I see an armored ship like ours on the road?
Cai Qing sighed: "Zhan Chen, because a boat that is too small cannot pass through the Endless Wind Zone, you will know when you get there that a huge wave can sink a small boat. Even a strong iron-clad ship cannot survive if it is too small."
I see.
Alas, I am afraid that only a large organization like the Ferryman, with many powerful Taoists joining it, has the strength to build an armored ship of this size. The power system alone requires a super spiritual formation.
Isn't it true that only large sects can arrange super spiritual formations? Besides, this ship has such a small space, how to arrange the next super spiritual formation to fight against Chen Qidao?
In his impression, the Super Spiritual Array must be arranged in a very large area. It is usually used by large sects to protect their sects. How could it be arranged on such a small ship.
Cai Qing smiled and said: Brother, you don't know something. This is difficult to achieve in the eyes of us warriors, but for the immortals who have entered the Tao, it is just a trail. They have something called the Immortal Formation Disk in their hands, and they can even
The spiritual formation that originally covered hundreds of miles has shrunk into a small area. I have also heard that there is an immortal formation above the spiritual formation. The power of a low-grade immortal formation is probably more than ten super spiritual formations. In short, the power of a powerful Taoist
The means are not something you and I can speculate on.
Hearing what he said, Zhan Chen subconsciously looked at the deck under his feet. Under the steel deck was the maneuvering room of the armored ship. There might be the fairy formation disk that Cai Qing mentioned, as well as the miniature ones in it.
Super Spiritual Array. At this moment, he wanted to go down and explore its secrets, but Chen Qiming's previous warning made him hesitate.
Cai Qing seemed to see what he was thinking and advised: Brother Zhan, there is no need to be envious or to look forward to it. Aren’t we going to Wanfa Continent? When we get there, what are we afraid of not seeing?
Yes, Zhan Chen was relieved. He raised his head and looked at the vast ocean ahead. Facing the waves of sea breeze, he was filled with infinite passion again. On the other side of the ocean, there was everything he wanted to pursue.
The armored ship drove very fast, throwing away large ships one after another, and gradually came to the front of the fleet.
However, Zhan Chen felt that the speed of the boat suddenly slowed down, and it began to be equal to the boat in front. It just stayed in the first echelon and did not continue to catch up.
He felt strange again and asked Cai Qing on the side: Brother Cai, you said that our ship can obviously get rid of other ships, but why doesn't it speed up? Wouldn't it be good to reach Wanfa Continent earlier?
Cai Qing pondered for a moment and guessed: From my experience, the reason why our ship did not continue to speed up was because it needed the ships next to it to ask questions. Think about it, why do these ships all choose to set off at the same time?
And why do they follow each other so closely? I guess everyone has the same idea, they are just taking advantage of each other.
After listening to his analysis, Zhan Chen couldn't help but nodded. Sure enough, people who often take boats have experience. Going to Wanfa Continent must be very dangerous. Although the ferryman has an armored ship and a powerful Taoist to escort him, he wants to
There is no 100% certainty of reaching Wanfa Continent safely, and the remaining two achievements are uncertain.
If you follow a large group, you will know where the danger is in advance and can avoid the possibility of capsizing. This is the wisest choice.
Next, he chatted with Cai Qing for a few words and then went back to his room to rest.
From that day on, Zhan Chen began his life on the ship. During the day, he would meditate or feed the little demons. At night, he would go to the deck alone to watch the stars at night and practice the Great Zhoutian Star Technique. The days seemed to be
He lived a leisurely and comfortable life, but Zhan Chen always had a sense of crisis in his mind, that is, the endless wind would eventually come.
