Chapter 1983 Thunder Gate's Training Base(2/2)
Cong said with a smile, and Linghu nodded. He knew that Li Cong was a person who worked quickly, but he didn't expect that this kid could work so fast. He really couldn't let himself rest.
On Earth, a small island in the Pacific Ocean.
If someone comes here, they will definitely think that this is the beginning of the industrial revolution. Large wooden ships here have been launched one after another, and they are all using the most advanced sail battleships. This is Li Congrong, the guy on the earth.
Since the thing we started to make can transport airships, this thing is no problem. Naval battles still rely on this thing, but some of the things on it need to be improved, and they cannot be the same as at that time.
Battleships in the age of sail refer to the armed ships that have been the main force in sea operations since the 16th century. At that time, sailing battleships were basically built of wood, sometimes covered with copper below the waterline. The power was sails, and the weapons were muzzleloaders.
The projectile artillery fired round projectiles used to destroy the hull, as well as anti-personnel shotguns and chain projectiles that damaged the sails. Because it was powered by wind at that time, the power and range of a single ship's artillery was not enough to cause effective damage to an enemy ship.
, so the battle line (all combat warships arranged in a line) is used to fight, in order to achieve the combat purpose, so the Yunfeng Sail battleship, but for such things, Li Cong will not be so step-by-step. First of all, the ship is equipped with transportation
The motors on the boat must be converted into electric power. They just need to discharge the energy directly. I don't have the time to wait for tailwind or headwind. This won't work.
In the arena of naval battles on Earth, battleships were once the main force of the naval fleet. They were large warships with artillery as their main combat weapons. Since the artillery range and firepower of such warships at that time were limited, and only straight-line navigation tactics could be used in naval battles,
The warships lined up in a single column and sailed in a straight line. When the enemy ship entered the artillery range, they began to fire cannons and engage in artillery battles. Therefore, such warships using straight-line navigation tactics were called battleships. The first one to appear was the sail battleship.
Historians praised it as the "devil's weapon". The sail battleship appeared in the 17th century and was a wooden hull structure. The ship was equipped with sails and was powered by wind. It had a displacement of about one thousand tons. The ship was equipped with smoothbore guns that could fire solid projectiles.
After the advent of the sailing battleship, its tonnage gradually increased. Its displacement increased to about 5,000 tons, and the number of artillery pieces increased from dozens to nearly a hundred.
Naturally, the one modified for Li Cong didn't look like this. The bottom was originally clad with copper. This was because it was a very hard thing at that time. Now they don't need this thing because they have something harder.
That is special steel. Wood can be made on top, but there is also steel in the sandwich of wood. This is because driven by a motor, this thing can obtain a lot of power and be placed on a thousands-ton steel battleship.
A 3,000-ton ship like this can be driven very quickly by a motor, so each ship is equipped with the largest number of artillery pieces on both sides, up to 400 artillery pieces.
Such a number directly compares to the first-class warships of that year. The first-class warships of that year served as the flagship of the fleet, with three-layer gun decks, more than 100 guns, a crew of more than 875 people, and a displacement of 2,500-3,500 tons. Representative ships
It was Admiral Nelson's flagship Victory in the Battle of Trafalgar. Because each warship of this class cost up to 100,000 pounds, there were less than 12 ships in active service in the British Navy at that time. This one is different from that one now.
It seems that the appearance is just a little bigger. But the firepower equipment has reached its limit. Both sides are densely packed with artillery. Naturally, these artillery are different from those of the past. The front-loading cannon is nowhere to be found. So.
All of these are rear-mounted, and their calibers are around 75 to 150 mm. This is mainly because if the caliber of the artillery continues to increase, it is estimated that the ship may sink. After all, there is still wood on this thing.
It's not all made of steel, but if it attacks the ground hard enough, it can turn the opponent into a waste area. There was a test on the earth, where ten sail battleships attacked a small island covering an area of ten square kilometers.
, after two hours, the island was basically cleaned up. Of course, if it were done with a huge battleship on the earth, it would probably take half an hour. Li Cong didn’t want to affect that planet too much.
, all have their own development plans, and you can just open the plug-in occasionally. There is no need to make it so powerful. This is the weapon Li Cong wants to attack.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Li Cong was raising his son honestly in his room. As for Linghu, he was very interested in things like airships at the beginning.
, but after a few days, this guy has no interest anymore. The scenery outside is actually not interesting. This thing is also very fast, and it is not a place to see the scenery. He also realizes that if his strength is not strong enough,
He will be bullied at any time, so he spends more of this month practicing in his room. He can understand a lot in one month. In the eyes of ordinary people, this guy has achieved a lot.
It's not small, but in Li Cong's opinion, I can gain more insights in one hour than you can in a month. I really don't know how you got this genius.
"Master, we have now arrived at the predetermined sea area. In front of us is the Dongming Island that Master Linghu mentioned. Can we stop?" As soon as Li Cong got up this morning, the captain came over.
"It's here so soon?" Li Cong has been focusing on his son for this month, so he really doesn't have any concept of time. Now the time has arrived, it's really fast.
"Yes, Master, we have fifteen minutes to arrive at Dongming Island. The ships below have begun to gather together. The route is absolutely correct." The captain thought that Li Cong was doubting himself and said quickly.
Dongming Island can be said to be a relatively prosperous island in the eastern part of the Eastern Empire. The area here is estimated to be tens of millions of square kilometers. It is also a good place in the eastern part of the country. It has a population of more than 2 billion. Every year, it is used by the Eastern Empire.
It brings a lot of gold. This is a very important gold-producing area. According to the book, up to 130,000 tons of gold are produced here in a year, which is all the gold on the earth.
"Boy, we have arrived at Dongming Island. Should we take action?" This place is not his own territory, and Li Cong cannot make a random decision. It is better to let this boy take him there.
Linghu hadn't been out for a while. He looked outside and found that he had arrived at Dongming Island. He also had a large gold mine here. He had been here many times, so he could tell at a glance.
, the speed of this airship is really good. I remember that it took me two years to arrive by boat. I didn’t expect that it would take only half a month to arrive. Just at this speed, I am a few miles behind them.
Ten times. If there is a fight, how can you fight with others? If they can't beat you, they can just fly in the sky. Even if you are a tenth-level warrior, you can't catch up with them. Alas, people are so infuriating.
"Let's find a place to wait for the night. It's too conspicuous during the day." The guy said to Li Cong, and Li Cong nodded. Naturally, the important place of the Thunder Gate cannot be entered in broad daylight.
"Do you have any plans for the evening?" Li Cong sat in the living room and chatted with this guy while eating. This was the first time these two guys had dinner together since the day they boarded the airship.
"Haha, the Thunder Gate's organization is so big, they will only deliver the news once every hundred years. A few people know the news that I was arrested by you, but the people here probably don't know, but I have been in there.
, the Linghu family can be regarded as half of the owners of the Thunder Clan. When you release the strength of the ninth-level warriors, and we go there with the ninth-level monsters, they will think that I am here to play. This is very important to all the young masters.
It's okay. When the time comes, I'll do my own thing, and you can do yours, but this time can't be too long. If the tenth-level warriors on the island know that I'm coming, they will definitely react. Of course, I
I believe it is impossible for them to know the news of my arrest, but I don’t know if the tenth-level warrior has a secret way to contact others, so we must be quick and try to get it done within two hours." Linghu thought for a while.
He said, this method is not a problem. What if we go up to investigate carefully? Let's forget it. That is impossible. The defense above is really very strict. If you want to go up, forget it.
"Your method is really bold. If you try to play tricks on me, I'll probably tell you the truth." Li Cong said jokingly, but Li Cong didn't have any worries about himself.
, he has also figured out this boy's character clearly. He is not the kind of person who is courting Qin Muchu. Working with such a guy, he still feels very safe. This must be admitted.
"Haha, I can't guarantee you this. You came to do this because you wanted to do it. You won't be ready to retreat at the last moment, right? If this is the case, you can kill or scrape as many as you want. I
But if I don’t cooperate with people like you, and I have no courage at all, how can I do big things in the future?" Linghu also said jokingly, like Li Cong, he also understands Li Cong, and he also has it in his heart.
One question, even if he knew these things and asked the masters on the island to fight Li Cong, Li Cong would still be able to leave in the end. He knew that Li Cong was not as good as a tenth-level warrior, but deep down in his heart,
He actually believed that Li Cong could defeat a tenth-level warrior. He had no doubt about it. Even he himself felt strange. How could he be so confident in this boy? There was another thing he didn't tell Li Cong.
Yes, this is the direct lineage of his cousin. There are three training camps of the Thunder and Lightning Sect. One is controlled by the royal family, one is controlled by the Linghu family, and there is another one that is managed by both parties. This one of the Linghu family is managed by his cousin.
Yes, of course, his cousin must be at the headquarters of the Thunder and Lightning Sect, and definitely not in this place. One of the two tenth-level warriors of the Thunder and Lightning Sect belongs to the Linghu family, and the other naturally belongs to the royal family. At the top,
In terms of strength, both sides are evenly matched, and no one will let their side be weak. This is something that has been decided in advance, and there will be no mistakes.
Li Cong shook his head and smiled, and told the captain that they should just wander around here. They can go there when it gets dark. In fact, for Linghu, it can be done at night or daylight. He just doesn't want to be on Dongming Island.
What unnecessary trouble is caused here? There are many experts on the island. They usually have nothing to do. Two people suddenly appeared here riding level nine flying monsters. It would be damned if they were not interested.
Well, I must check it out one by one. Maybe the base of the Thunder Gate will be exposed by then. Then it will be my own sin. If my cousin sues me in the family, I will be very angry.
Passive, but if Li Cong can capture this place, everything will be fine, and no one will hold him accountable. By then, his cousin will have lost his biggest support, and he will have no right to compete with him. Nine
What's wrong with the super peak warrior? There are quite a few in the family. One more than you is not more, and one less than you is not more. No one will care about you. He also doesn't fully believe in Li Cong's strength.
If the time in the clan is very full while waiting, neither of these two people will look at their sons, and neither of them will practice, so the time will naturally pass slower, but the time will still pass like this.
Finally, the sky began to darken. Li Cong looked at Dongming Island below. It was indeed brightly lit. Maybe only the capitals of the three empires could have such a prosperous place, but here, this is a border city on the sea.
It cannot be compared with the capital at all. Such a situation can exist here. The national power of the Eastern Empire is really much stronger than the three empires of the Northern Empire. This is something that does not need to be doubted. No wonder as long as it has something to do with the Eastern Empire
These three empires all joined forces in a tacit understanding, mainly because they were afraid of others and did not dare to go against them. This is indeed the case.
"The time has finally come. To be honest, I have been thinking about going to the Thunder Gate training camp for a long time, but today is the time to put it into practice. It's all thanks to you." Li Cong sat on the flying monster.
