Since his own fishing fleet will have no major problems for a while, Lu Yi naturally does not need to rush to the rescue. But because the situation is so easy now, Lu Yi wants to take this opportunity to test Chengtian Island.

There are some existing results.

With this in mind, Lu Yi said to Gaocheng Yuriko: "Well, Yuriko, you go and call Captain Richard over and get his Thunder Eagle Magister Squadron ready for battle. All members are ready to carry out the actual combat nature of the Magister's equipment.

test!"

"Yes, Master Lu Yi."

Lu Yi turned around and said to Shimafeng, who had been listening obediently since the beginning: "Shimofeng, can you move now?"

When Shimakaze heard this, the expression on his face became visibly cheerful, and he jumped up: "Of course, Admiral, I just checked myself. As long as the fuel is replenished, it can be started at any time, and I am using a gas turbine now.

, there is no need to burn the boiler and pressurize it in advance like a steam turbine, it can be started at any time. That’s...”

Speaking of this, Shimakaze was a little embarrassed: "That is, the ship does not have any armaments now, such as acid torpedoes, not to mention continuous guns, and there are no missiles that the shipbuilding uncles mentioned before. Even for safety, my

He doesn’t even have a heavy machine gun on him, so Shimakaze may not be of use by then.”

"It's okay. I'm here. Let's just treat it as a sea trial. You don't have to worry about combat. Now you go to the person in charge outside and ask him to add fuel. We will start it within an hour."

"yes!"

After assigning Shimakaze, Lu Yi said to Yuriko Takagi who had already contacted Captain Richard: "Yuriko, you should go back to the city now. The Propaganda Department will immediately start the second propaganda of Shimakaze according to the No. 1 plan. The key points are

It must be at the point of 'the Qi Master enlightens the second ship girl', do you understand?"

"I understand, Master Lu Yi."

"Okay, then go quickly."

Lu Yi looked at the figures of Shimakaze and Yuriko Takagi leaving the bridge, feeling a little complacent for a moment. After several months of construction and development, he could finally put his skills to the test.

——Kira——

On the Banda Sea, a large destroyer without any weapons and equipment was cutting through the waves and racing on the sea at a speed of up to 44 knots.

This speed is undoubtedly a shocking figure in an era when capital ships can only travel more than 20 knots. Even in World War II twenty years later, Shimakaze with this speed was still the fastest destroyer in the world...

·one.

On the Shimakaze, which does not have any weapons and equipment, but it can be seen at a glance from the structure of the ship that it is a battleship, Lu Yi is giving instructions to the former Thunder Eagle Battle Mage Team, now the Thunder Eagle Mage.

The squadron is conducting tactical explanations.

Over the past few days, the magister equipment system "invented" by Lu Yi has been gradually improved and polished, and more than twenty sets of magister suits have been produced by pure manual methods.

Because the extraordinary seeds he cultivated were still in the stage of popularizing basic education, and the future wives of the Cursed Sons were still too young, Lu Yi simply transferred all the battle mages headed by Richard to become

The equipment tester also gave these battle mages who were obsessed with Germany a squadron of magisters.

"So, the purpose of this time is to test the equipment in actual combat. Under the premise that there is no danger, the use of magic is not allowed. All members must rely on pure mental power to control your magician equipment. Do you understand?"

"As you command, sir!"

"Okay, then listen up. After a while, I will use artificial methods to test the effect of magic used in naval battles on the Shimakaze. When the enemy discovers the Shimakaze, enter combat mode. The task is very simple. Just fly.

, board the ship, seize the ship, do you understand?"

"Understood, sir!"

"Very good, do you have any questions?"

Richard took a step forward, stood at attention, raised his head and raised his chest and asked: "Sir Lu Yi, what should we do if the ship girl cannot be controlled?"

"Are your blasting techniques shitty? If you can't control it, just blow them away. Anyway, it's a test of the magician's equipment. Try to test all the techniques and tactics!"

"Yes, sir!"

Because of the remote communication method, Lu Yiyang could easily confirm the position of Yu 7 and Yu 8. Relying on the current affairs reports of the two fishing boats, the Shimakaze was still 50 nautical miles away from the two ironclads of the Dutch Far East Navy.

At that time, Lu Yi was notified.

"Okay, Shimakaze, turn on the first stage of acceleration mode. You have to experience this feeling. This is the effect that the magic side equipment that will be installed on you in the future can achieve!"

Lu Yi said this, and cast the [Resistance Reduction] spell on the Shimakaze hull under his feet. Suddenly, the friction between the Shimakaze steel-based hull and the seawater began to increase under the effect of the spell.

It weakened under the interference, and the feeling reflected on Shimakaze was——

"Oh, my body has become so light. I can run faster! Faster!"

The sudden reduction in friction, as well as a week of brainstorming by many people before construction to modify the Shimakaze hull specifically for this situation, played a huge role at this moment.

The original speed of 44 knots began to increase rapidly. Even though Lu Yi had made preparations in advance, he felt a push on his back.

"I'm afraid this speed is already above 60 knots."

When the speed reached 50 knots, Shimakaze's hull began to bounce around like it was drifting in the water.

What's even more frightening is that the speed is still accelerating. Seeing this, Lu Yi quickly cast [Steel Skin] on Shimakaze's hull to reinforce it, and increased the investment of magic power in [Resistance Reduction] to reduce the upwelling of the ship's bow.

Amplitude.

"Shimakaze, take it easy, I don't want your first voyage to become your last."

"I know, I know, Admiral."

Shimakaze pursed his lips. This situation of not being able to reach the top speed even though he still had enough power really made this speed-oriented ship girl extremely depressed.

Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled, rubbed Shimakaze's rabbit-ear headband, and decided to talk to the relevant construction personnel about strengthening the strength of Shimakaze's ship body after returning. If that didn't work, he would start from a magical perspective.

When the speed stabilized at 70 knots, Lu Yi cast [Chameleon Touch] on Shimakaze. In an instant, Shimakaze seemed to be wearing an optical camouflage, and the entire battleship merged with the sea.

Only the splitting waves of high-speed sailing can let others know what is sailing here at such a fast speed.

"This feels like the magic camouflage in World of Warships. It can be optically invisible. However, this method should not be that effective for ship girls. With the ship girls' high perception, I am afraid that they can get closer to within five kilometers.
