Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#232 - First test of the new ship
Audis quickly calculated that Bowen's bounty was 1200 pounds, the two deputy captains' bounties added up to 1500 pounds, and the bounties of the other two wanted criminals totaled 700 pounds.
So the total bounty harvested tonight is 3400 pounds. If calculated at only receiving 90%, the final amount would be around 3060 pounds, meaning each person would get 1530 pounds.
This made Audis sigh: No wonder so many people yearn for the sea, it really contains endless wealth!
But the prerequisite is to have strength, be smart enough, and know how to be patient.
Just like now, although Audis suddenly obtained 1530 pounds, he was very clear that such opportunities wouldn't come every day.
Under uncertain circumstances, never act rashly. If you lose your life, earning more money is useless.
The place where patience is needed is knowing that wealth seems to be everywhere, but you can't be too greedy and lose your mind.
It's getting late today, Audis told Bazel to move freely in Bayam now, continuing his bounty hunter work, but to come to the "Wizard Affairs Office" often, so he can be notified immediately if there are new developments.
Bazel asked, "Captain, do you need me to recruit sailors in advance?"
"No need," Audis said with a smile, "I have already recruited sailors, gunners, combat team members, and so on.
"I also have a first mate now. I only lack a second mate, a third mate, and a navigator."
Even if there is no third mate, it doesn't matter, but the second mate and navigator are essential.
Bazel nodded: "Okay."
Then he said: "Was Tyler here tonight to besiege me?"
"It should be," Audis said, "This kind of cruel person usually has some psychological problems.
"He probably wanted to kill the Avenger with his own hands."
Bazel breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he didn't try to be a hero and found the right helper.
If he hadn't found "Captain Garre" to help, ordinary adventurers or bounty hunters wouldn't be a match for Tyler at all.
After Bazel left, Audis also used the "Travel Ring" to return to Raxia Island.
He originally wanted to focus on acting today, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
However, he also gained a lot. Although the bounty hasn't been received yet, he will definitely be able to get it this week.
Most importantly, he found a reliable first mate.
For Audis, this is more important than bounties or extraordinary characteristics.
Lying in bed, Audis once again began to seriously think about his pirate group. This kind of small pirate group is not suitable for large-scale naval battles, but it is very suitable for treasure hunting, exploration, and sneak attacks.
The reason for this strategy is because Audis also has far-reaching considerations. He very much hopes to create opportunities to get in touch with "Vice Admiral Iceberg" and gradually contact the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom.
After receiving the help of the Goddess of the Night, Audis's thinking instantly opened up. Since the "God of Steam and Machinery" and the "Hidden Sage" are both thinking about him, he can use the power of other gods and churches to fight against them.
The first choice is of course the Church of the Goddess of the Night. He can try to become a true devotee of the Goddess of the Night, but the problem is that Audis doesn't have the ability of a "Faceless", and he doesn't dare to return to the Loen mainland recently.
And the Church of the Goddess of the Night doesn't have much power at sea, so a divine devotee is useless here.
So Audis thought of the second option: the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Although this god doesn't seem to have much presence, he plays a "good hand" and can always make the right choice at the right time.
This is a very reassuring point for Audis, he is not afraid of painstakingly building a relationship, only for the church to disband!
If he released goodwill to the God of War Church at this time, it would be easy to encounter such a thing, similar to the operation of "joining the Kuomintang in '49".
However, he could be recruited by the Church of the Goddess of the Night because of this.
Thinking about it, Audis fell asleep.
The next morning, Audis came to the shipyard early, because today he was going to carry out the layout of the first large magic circle.
He led the scholars aboard the large ship, which only had a shell and only the bottom layer was completed.
In the recent period of study, Audis selected twelve scholars to become his assistants.
In addition, there were more than a dozen extraordinary people of the "Secret Suppliant" pathway, who were assistants to the assistants, doing some simple carving tasks or helping to process spiritual materials.
It can be said that Bernadette took out all her knowledge talent reserves to build this large ship.
And she herself was also present, observing the scene for a noon.
The first step of the magic circle was carving. Audis used a huge soft brush to draw the magic circle in front, and then the scholars were divided into three groups, using the methods provided by Audis to carve inside the hull.
This process didn't have much technical content, just bury your head in work.
Bernadette also had many things to deal with, so she didn't come again in the afternoon.
After completing the carving work, they began to fill the carved magic circle with spiritual materials.
This requires the knowledge learned before, because which symbol should be filled with spiritual material first, and which should be filled later, must be in a certain order.
This procedure was completed on the morning of the next day, and the last step was to install extraordinary materials.
In order to make the operation of the magic circle more stable, Audis used three "deep sea jellyfish" crystals in the design process.
This is one of the main materials of the "Sailor" pathway Sequence 7 "Navigator", which can better stabilize and control the sea flow.
After the magic circle was completely arranged, the scaffolding outside the big ship was almost dismantled, because it was the first time to arrange the "engine system" magic circle of the sea ship, Audis was not sure, so he had to pull it out to try it first.
Although this will affect the construction progress of the big ship, it can give Audis's team enough feedback, which can make the next step of arranging the magic circle more smoothly.
The sea trial started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Bernadette came to the scene again.
Audis accompanied her on a small boat, watching the big sea boat without sails and without reserved steam engine positions, towed out of the shipyard by a tugboat powered by a steam engine.
In the same boat with Bernadette were also several main members of "Element Dawn".
Audis met them for the first time, and they also curiously looked at this new face beside the "Queen".
Ailiya first introduced Audis to everyone, and then introduced those important members to Audis.
They are basically the captains of several flagships of the "Element Dawn" fleet. At ordinary times, they themselves will lead a fleet composed of several ships to go to sea, plunder merchant ships, or attack colonies, or fight naval battles with other pirate groups.
In addition, there are two deputy leaders of "Element Dawn". Bernadette rarely manages specific affairs, and this extraordinary organization is basically maintained by them.
No matter what they were busy with recently, whether they had time or not, Bernadette asked them to attend today's sea trial.
They have also heard some news more or less that the "Queen" is building a large sea ship, but the shape of this ship seems a bit strange.
Several captains, like the ship designers, are also curious about what will power this ship?
Hearing the questions from his subordinates, Bernadette said lightly: "Let Audis, the designer of this ship, answer it."
Audis smiled and said: "This ship will be powered by spirituality. I know that this kind of power is very novel, and everyone may find it difficult to understand.
"But if our design plays its normal effect, this will be a power system and energy system that can change the entire world.
"And everyone present is a witness to this novel power."
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, it seemed that they heard this young man explaining very seriously, but it seemed that they didn't hear any useful information.
Because everyone doesn't know Audis's background, they didn't say anything sarcastic, and continued to take advantage of watching the sea trial to report the recent situation to the "Queen".
At this time, the big ship has gradually come to the harbor in towing and pushing. There are no big waves today, which is good news for the sea trial.
Because the balance system has not been installed yet, if there are too big waves, the stability of the big ship is a problem.
Although everyone actively reported their work, Bernadette was obviously a little absent-minded, her attention was all on the big ship in front of her.
Only she in this boat knows that this is the core research part of Audis's occultism, and it will definitely have amazing performance.
Everyone noticed this, so they gradually paid attention to the sea trial in front of them. Captain Aubrey asked Audis: "What is the speed of this ship?"
Audis replied casually: "The designed maximum speed is about 30 knots, and the cruising speed can probably reach about 20 knots."
"What?" Aubrey thought he heard it wrong: "Are you kidding me!"
This is almost twice the speed of the most advanced warship at present!
Audis glanced at the captain with a thick beard. He knew that the other party didn't swear, completely because Bernadette was present.
He just smiled and said: "We are about to reach the sea trial location, so please look forward to it."
Several captains were silent. Of course they knew that any questioning at this time was questioning the "Queen" while questioning this pretty boy.
Someone wanted to remind the "Queen" that this speed was too nonsense. With such a speed, the steel warships of the Loen Kingdom that were boasted to the sky were simply decorations!
But thinking that the "Queen" has always been very reliable and should not be deceived, they simply waited for the results of the sea trial, wanting to see whether this design was too novel or this guy was a big liar.
When the large ship was towed out of the harbor and into deep water, someone on the ship used signal flags to communicate.
Audrey said, "Your Majesty, we can begin the test."
Bernadette gave a soft "Mm."
Audrey took two small flags of different colors from Ellia and signaled "Start" to the large ship.
For a moment, everyone felt as if the spirituality around them was fluctuating strangely.
Immediately afterward, in the absence of any wind, layers of waves appeared behind the large ship, with undercurrents beneath them.
They were working together to propel the ship forward!
The bare ship, which had been almost stationary, suddenly began to move, accelerating in a way that seemed abnormal to the captains, quickly gaining a certain speed.
At this time, the waves behind the large ship affected the small boats and tugboats, causing the small boats to sway suddenly.
Bernadette raised her hand, and the small boats stopped swaying, the waves seeming to suddenly avoid the small boats, and surging to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, the large ship was moving extremely fast, reaching a speed of about 15 knots.
Cheers erupted from the large ship, and the scholars and ship designers observing the sea trial on the other small boats also cheered.
The captains beside Audrey were stunned. How could this ship accelerate so quickly in such a short time?
Bernadette patted Audrey's shoulder with satisfaction, "Very good."
Audrey also smiled and said, "It seems that there are no major problems with our design, and we can proceed with further arrangements."
He paused and added, "However, the large ship is only equipped with the power system at this time. I suggest we test it here today. After further improvements, we will conduct the next sea trial."
Bernadette said, "Okay."
So Audrey signaled again, and the large ship, which was some distance away from the small boat, began to slow down, and the tugboats quickly approached.
At this time, Bernadette's main subordinates came back to their senses from the surprise. Female Captain Belinda asked, "Your Majesty, what... what kind of ship is this?"
Captain Aubrey asked, "What kind of power is it using?"
Audrey replied, "This is a novel power that can change the world."
The captains were so angry that they almost vomited blood. That's what this guy said just now!
You should continue to explain! What exactly is this novel power, this power that can change the world?
But at this time, everyone had a consensus that this was indeed a power system that could change the world!
Everyone couldn't help but re-examine Audrey, and they speculated where the "Queen" had found this shipbuilding genius?
Bernadette said a few encouraging words to the scholars on the other ships, and said that she would hold a banquet at the Emerald Palace tonight to entertain them warmly.
The main content of the sea trial had ended. Under the action of Bernadette's extraordinary ability, the small boats they were riding on flew forward quickly along the sea surface and quickly returned to the port.
The captains and the two deputy leaders had a lot of questions, but they didn't know where to start, so they could only stay quietly in the back.
The group returned to the dock again, and Bernadette talked to Audrey about the construction of the large ship: "Does this ship also need maintenance?"
"It needs maintenance." Audrey said, "It needs maintenance about once every two and a half years. The main thing is to add some spiritual materials to make the magic circle work more smoothly."
Bernadette was stunned: "Usually, the things you make need to be maintained about once a year, right?"
"That's because I didn't dare to take out the most core things to use at that time." Audrey smiled and said, "In this magic circle, I added many novel symbols. I only taught these symbols to those twelve scholars."
"That is equivalent to the most cutting-edge technology, so be sure to keep it secret."
"That's for sure." Bernadette looked at the subordinates behind her: "No one but me has the right to interfere."
