Just as Bernadette said, the equipment installed on this ship can be controlled by the owner of this ship as if it were his own body.
This means that this ghost ship can actually be like the ship of Theseus, replacing its parts bit by bit, and eventually theoretically can become a modern warship, or even be transformed into a spaceship if the technology is sufficient. It's all possible.
The current Llano industrial capacity is limited and can only carry out limited modifications to the ship, such as installing an artillery gun on the ship and installing several missile launch tubes on the bow.
In addition, the most important thing is probably the astronomical telescope on the watchtower. There is no way to detect this ship with radar. That requires more advanced chips and a more developed power industry, and it is obviously impossible to do this in this era when electric lights are not even popular.
Use telescopes to observe distant objects. The biggest problem is that the range that the telescope can observe at one time is too small. Even if it is installed on the observation tower and rotates in circles for observation. I can only see things more than ten kilometers away relatively clearly. But this is barely enough. At this distance, it is difficult for most extraordinary people to judge whether what is in the distance is a boat or a big fish?
In addition, simple modifications include weapons to prevent enemies from approaching.
Lan Nuo discovered that most items can be controlled remotely as long as they are contaminated with the scent of this ship. It was like the barrel that was thrown at him before.
Just leave the firearms you brought on the boat for a while. They will be infected by the blue flames on the ship, and then they can levitate like barrels, within the scope of the deck. Free control.
Although it can only be controlled on one's own ship, and if it is used to hit people, it is at most equivalent to the force of a strong man throwing it, and it basically poses no threat to extraordinary people. But he doesn't need to throw it over and hit someone, he just needs to pull the trigger.
From this perspective, the ghost ship is indeed the captain's home field. Even if Lan Nuo does not come up with these advanced technologies and does not take action himself, in a one-on-one situation, Sequence Seven, which occupies control of the ghost ship, is likely to defeat Sequence Six or even Sequence Five in a one-on-one duel, but this This kind of power also has limitations. The biggest limitation is that people must be on a boat, and the boat cannot go ashore.
Lan Nuo also used the firearms and weapons he brought to infect the ship, and then threw down the cast-iron cannons on the ship. These things on the ship just took up weight in vain, while he used rockets to Weapons that are smaller but have much better performance, such as projectiles or mortars, have replaced the ancient cannons that fired solid projectiles.
For people of this era, this ship is already armed to the teeth, and even has a few thrusters that can be used to accelerate. When necessary, the ship will not be much slower than the Dawn.
However, in Lan Nuo's opinion, it can only be regarded as a barely usable level. On Backlund's side, Lan Nuo and the others, after discovering the characteristics of the ghost ship, are already preparing to actively hunt for the ghost ship, open a dock, and transform the ghost ship. .
In this era when the semiconductor industry has not yet developed and chips are still far away, things like the Ghost Ship have their own fire control systems. It was really way ahead of its time.
If you want to achieve this kind of detailed control through a mechanical structure, what is needed is an extremely large and complex hull structure. Even if it is implemented with circuits, it is not much simpler in theory. However, the ghost ship relies on a As long as I can put it on, I can control it freely. If I modify it and install body joints so that these body joints can rotate freely, wouldn't it be possible to transform it into a Gundam?
Be bold, if the material of this ship is transformed into the shape of an airplane, and equipped with an engine, will it be able to fly into the sky?
At present, these can only be regarded as guesses. Only after personally transforming and understanding the characteristics of the ghost ship can we confirm whether these wild ideas are feasible?
At this time, Lan Nuo had already sailed to a maritime stronghold of the Moss Ascetic Order based on the clues given to him by the mysterious queen. It was an unknown island. In such an era of great navigation, such an unknown island They are everywhere in the ocean. Lan Nuo relied on his better telescope to roughly see the situation on the island from an extremely remote place.
The diameter of the entire island is less than one kilometer, but there is a spacious port. There are two pirate ships moored there. From this distance, we can barely see clearly. There are people coming and going on the ship, but we can't see clearly their faces. dress up.
In order to investigate the situation, Lan Nuo chose to start a rehearsal and test it out. During the rehearsal, the ghost ship directly invaded the island's port. The two pirate ships quickly discovered the ghost ship and surrounded it, using their side strings to attack it. After aiming at the direction of the ghost ship, they fired a burst of artillery fire. Most of the Beyonders on the ship picked up their rifles and shot in the direction of the ghost ship.
Occasionally, a transcendent person will whip up a big fireball and throw it in the direction of the ghost ship. This seems to be the magic mastered by a certain sequence of the Secret Peeper's path. Its power is probably about the same as the cannons on those ships, and is more powerful than the solid cannons on the ship. The shells are slightly stronger, at least the fireball will explode twice when it hits the ship, but that's about it.
Most of the Beyonders on the ship are less than Sequence Six. After all, Sequence Six is already a famous existence at sea, and Sequence Five can already be called one of the Seven Pirate Generals. If a little-known Moss Ascetic Order If there is a Sequence Five in the stronghold, then the strength of this organization will have to be re-evaluated.
The strongest among these people should be a Sequence Six Scroll Professor. He carries a large number of scrolls and can release a large number of spells at once when he is prepared. However, if the scroll is opened in his hand, the spell You can only cast it with him as the center. There is often a distance of several hundred meters between two ships on the sea. Most spells cannot reach such a distance.
Therefore, in order to cooperate with the naval battle, the scroll professor also had a skill that surprised Lan Nuo, which was a completely unexpected bow and arrow skill.
The Sequence 8 fighting scholar of the Mystery Path can provide a certain physical bonus, so that this scroll professor can draw a very heavy iron-tied bow, and use the bow and arrow he specially made through magic rituals. The ultimate range of the bow can also be reached. Five hundred meters, living on the sea is comparable to some artillery.
When the bow and arrow reach the limit range, the scroll tied to the bow and arrow will be activated to attack the target. In this way, the range of all spells is equivalent to an increase of 500 meters.
Others also have means to release their abilities remotely when fighting at sea, but they are basically more troublesome than this. In actual combat, the effect is not good, so more often, firearms are used for shooting.
The ghost ship driven by Lan Nuo was faster than their sailboat, and it could slip away from the two pirate ships even without the modified propeller. In the process, he was also convinced that there were no innocent people on the two ships. The people kidnapped from the merchant ships should have performed evil rituals on the island and suffered the erosion of knowledge.
After confirming this, there is no need to worry about fighting in reality.
During the preview, Lan Nuo had a rough understanding of the configuration of the Beyonders on the ship. The strongest ones on the ship were the Scroll Professor of Sequence Six, two wizards of Sequence Seven, and two combat scholars of Sequence Eight. After all, this was a Moroccan In the den of the Ascetic Order, it is normal that the majority of Extraordinaries are from the Secret Path. Just like most of the Extraordinaries in the Church of the Night Goddess are from the Night Path.
In addition, there is a navigator and two sailors on the ship. These are essential for sailing on the sea. Since you choose to be a pirate at sea, the relevant personnel will definitely be recruited.
There is also a provocateur among the remaining extraordinarys. Lan Nuo guessed that he was worried that the enemy would not approach them during the naval battle, so he was specially used to attract hatred.
After the intelligence collection was completed, Lan Nuo also returned to reality and began the formal battle. When the battle actually started, everything was much simpler than imagined.
When he was still ten kilometers away from the island, Lan Nuo had already stopped the ship. At the same time, the main gun on the ship began to take aim. The thick muzzle was simply a nightmare for wooden sailing ships of this era. As the muzzle rotated, the heavy gun It has also pointed at the location of the island.
Shelling does not necessarily require seeing the enemy, as long as the coordinates of the enemy are confirmed, and this distance is completely within the range of the artillery. After adjusting the angle, a cannon is fired, and then the shells fly up. It was automatically loaded into the artillery, and then the second shot, the third shot, and eight shots in a row were fired before the ghost ship quickly moved towards the island.
The perspective switches to the pirates of Moss Ascetic Order. They just captured a group of fishermen who went to sea not long ago. Unfortunately, none of this group of people successfully survived the pollution and could not become one of them. At this time, they were preparing to do it again. Go out to sea and capture other targets on the sea to transform into one of them.
The sailors were inspecting their ships to see if they were ready to go to sea, and Professor Scroll used divination to ask himself which direction he should sail next to encounter a target suitable for capture.
At this moment, the navigator on the ship heard a sharp scream. Having served in the army and faced a real ironclad ship, he subconsciously threw himself on the deck and shouted at the same time that the enemy was attacking.
Although he didn't understand what the Doppler effect was, he remembered that as long as he heard the extremely sharp whistling sound of the artillery shell, it meant that the artillery was pointed in his direction. At this time, he was right to fall down and avoid it.
Before anyone else realized what was happening, the shells were falling from the sky. Due to air resistance, the cannonball had a slight error. It did not hit the two ships directly, but landed on the side of one of the ships, exploding the moment it touched the water.
The charge of the cannonball with a diameter of more than 200 millimeters is quite terrifying. Even if it did not hit directly, the explosion still almost overturned the ship. A sailor on the ship was pierced by the broken board and fell to the deck screaming. A large number of cracks appeared in the hull on the side of the ship that was hit by the explosion, water began to leak, and the entire ship began to tilt.
The navigators quickly maneuvered the ship and prepared to dock. For them, the ship was no longer safe.
However, it was too late. The panicked sailors were unable to effectively control the ship amid the explosion of artillery. The roaring sound in the sky once again took away their last trace of courage.
Another cannonball fell, and this time their luck was not as good as before. Even if the ship that was not hit just made an evasive action, it was still hit by the cannonball. Rather, it was his evasive action. He just happened to be delivered to the impact point of the cannonball.
The heavy artillery shells penetrated into the hull, and the wooden deck was as fragile as paper under such a powerful impact.
The shells that exploded inside the cabin instantly tore the ship into two halves. The wizard hiding in the cabin almost ate the explosion face to face. His body was shining with the light of ritual magic of different colors, but he It's useless. On a real battlefield of iron and fire, the survivability of Extraordinaries is not much greater than that of ordinary soldiers. They are feared hunters only when hiding in the dark.
Cannonballs fell one after another. The smart ones among the Extraordinaries had abandoned the boat and swam towards the shore. Those who were not smart or were not good at swimming were all perished with the boat. .
Some people think that they can escape disaster by jumping into the water, but they obviously have weak physics knowledge and do not realize that water, a substance that is more difficult to compress than air, has a much better conduction effect on shock waves than air. A fighting scholar who jumped into the water felt a wave of waves sweep through his body, and then he suffered painful bleeding from his seven orifices, and his internal organs ruptured and died.
Among all the people, the navigator's reaction was the most correct and fastest. He summoned a storm and let the storm blow him to quickly break away from the ship and fly towards the shore.
The Extraordinary of the Tyrant Path can control the power of wind to a certain extent. Although he has not yet reached the level of Wind Blessed, he can still glide short distances.
However, even if he and Professor Scroll managed to escape from death and survived the heavy artillery bombardment, they were still in confusion and fear. The sky fire falling from the sky made them have no idea where the attack came from.
"Is there a demigod targeting us?" Professor Scroll felt a fear coming from the depths of his heart, and at the same time he wrote on the paper: "Who is attacking me?" He recited it silently seven times in his heart, and closed his eyes. The eyes performed a brief dream divination.
