Arcane Universe

The cheap version is armed with the merchant ship, and the battle strength is uneven. Some are made of ordinary wood. At most, magic wood is used in key parts such as the keel, equipped with ordinary artillery and magic invariance. The marine transportation merchant ship of the magic power system as the power source.

Some use low-level magic wood to make the hull, medium magic wood to make the keel, and use magic to strengthen the keel and hull, equipped with large-caliber alchemy artillery, this kind of high-level magic armed merchant ship and magic battleship The biggest difference is that the armed merchant ship does not have the ability to fly, nor can it be armed with a magic cannon.

Actually, even a real magic battleship does not have the real flying ability. The magic battleship technology mastered by the Ocean God Church is just a simplified version of the magic ship technology. The magic battleship can only Do a short-term floating flight, instead of flying in the air for a long time like a real floating magic ship.

The technology of making this flying magic ship is only mastered by a few organizations such as Arcane God Church, Knowledge God Church, Owendell Empire Towers Federation, Red Robe Master Society, etc. in.

The magic ship technology that can really fly is a subsidiary product of the floating tower technology of the Arcane era. This kind of alchemy Rare Item was generally used as the outer guard of the Floating Void City in the Arcane era.

The High Tower Federation and the Red Robe Mage Association are both ancient mage organizations that existed in the Arcane era, and only then can they master the manufacturing knowledge of this top-level magical creation. After the Arcane era is over, this top-level magical creation The spread of knowledge is expressly prohibited by the “Arcane Proliferation Prevention Treaty” of the gods.

The Patrick is a very powerful armed merchant ship. The overall length of this ship is more than 90 meters, the width is more than 20 meters, the displacement is 6,300 tons, and the deadweight is 3,800 tons.

The hull of this ship is made of “red oak”, a low-grade magic wood with a large output, and is reinforced by low-grade enchantments. It not only has the strength of almost steel essence, but also has a strong flame. Resistance, let alone ordinary flames, low-level magic flames can’t ignite this wooden hull ship. Although intermediate-level magic flames can ignite the ship, they cannot be ignited if there is no continuous magic output. The ship continued to burn.

The keel of this ship is made of intermediate magic wood. After being strengthened by enchantment, it has the strength not inferior to black steel. The ordinary wooden ship, in front of this magical giant ship, is like a toy. same.

In terms of power, this ship is equipped with a total of six large propulsion magic rings in the front and rear, and is powered by three large advanced magic constant arts. The cruising speed at sea is as high as 28 knots, which is almost fifty kilometers. In each hour, this speed has been matched with the speed of modern large warships in the Earth world.

It is said that a real battleship is much faster than an armed merchant ship. The best battleship can even reach a cruising speed of more than forty knots.

In terms of firepower, this ship has a three-layer firepower deck. The upper gun deck is equipped with fifty-two twelve-pound magic short guns, and the middle gun deck is equipped with fifty twenty-four-pound magic long guns. , There are fifty-two 36-pound magic cannons installed on the gun deck, and four twelve-pound magic cannons and four sixty-eight-pound magic heavy guns are installed on the bow deck of the merchant ship. On the poop deck There are also twenty twelve-pound magic short cannons.

These magic artillery are made of high-strength copper alloy mixed with precious metals such as austenite. The propellant is made of high-energy alchemical gunpowder. The formidable power is powerful. It is said that even the weakest 12-pound formidable power The magic short cannon also has the terrible formidable power equivalent to six-level spell.

When these magic cannons are fired, they can temporarily attach a low-level magic-breaking effect to the shells. This magic-breaking effect can offset the enchantment effect on the enemy ship’s ribs.

If there is no magic-breaking effect, let alone a 36-pounder gun, even if it is a 136-pounder gun, don’t even want to penetrate the high-magic-armed merchant ship, which is nearly half a meter thick and stronger steel. Enchanted boat board of essence.

But when the enchantment effect is cancelled, the twenty-four-pound cannon can also penetrate the half-meter-thick magic wooden ribs.

All the 36-pound magic cannons on the Patrick are mounted on an alchemy mount with a copper core and a black steel shell. This kind of alchemical mount is actually a special kind of gun. The shape and structure not only have the functions of automatic reset and automatic aiming, but also can offset the error caused by the shaking of the naval gun, greatly improving the shooting accuracy of the naval gun.

If you only look at the artillery, the artillery technology of this World is far inferior to the artillery on Earth, but if you count the alchemy cannon under the cannon, the artillery enchantment and other technologies, the alchemy artillery of this World has nothing to do with it. Earth’s poor advanced technology in modern technology can be said to be very characteristic of the magic world.

The alchemy artillery equipped with an alchemy cannon is a perfect combination of gunpowder and alchemy. The cost of each one is more than 300,000 kronor.

Such a battleship, excluding the artillery equipped, costs more than 20 million kronor.

Earl Patrick, as one of the top twenty merchants in the new port area of ​​Tyronn, has only one such merchant ship under his name.

Feng Chou ventured to stay at the Earl of Patrick’s Mansion just to wait for this merchant ship.

Patrick, who returned from the Sutton Empire, brought back a large number of raw gemstones produced by the Sutton Empire, rough black iron, austenitic copper, and the skin skeleton of the demonic beast from the northern wild plateau. The medicinal herb produced in the Spirit King country of nature, the wood method wood produced in the dark forest…

Feng Chou not at all pay attention to these goods, only a small part of these goods belong to Patrick, and the rest Most of them belong to the property of Patrick’s vampire family. In the company under Patrick’s name, there are many other vampire aristocrats who are staring at them. The cargo of this ship must be the place where many eyes are gathered. It is easy to move them. Be found clues.

Feng Chou, in accordance with Patrick’s memory, according to past practices, arranged for the subordinates of a company familiar with the affairs to handle the goods returned by the Patrick.

After the Patrick was vacated, he immediately arranged manpower to hoard himself on the dock, and loaded the container with magic equipment on the Patrick.

These magic equipment have not been installed with magic gems, and naturally they have not been activated. Even if someone opens the box, they will only think that they are ordinary black steel armors and weapons. 2 magic equipment.

After loading the magic equipment on the ship, Feng Chou arranged for his subordinates to intensively purchase conventional goods. He wanted to let the Patrick sail sail again in a month.

When preparing regular goods, Feng Chou can normally use the company funds belonging to the vampire family. The regular goods belong to the organization. The boxes with magic equipment are Patrick’s private goods. These all are made by convention. thing.

He unceremoniously spent a lot of money to purchase a lot of high-quality steel essence armor and weapons.
