Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

That evening, Bernadette held a grand banquet at the Emerald Palace to celebrate the success of the first sea trial.

If it were just an ordinary sea trial, there would be no need for such fanfare.

But today's sea trial was different; this was the world's first large ship driven by spirituality!

After the successful sea trial, Bernadette was also very happy, she knew that Audis's most core research would be amazing.

Watching the scholars and ship designers drinking merrily, captains like Belinda could only sit in their seats and drink in silence.

They had already been warned by the "Queen" this afternoon at the shipyard not to inquire about the new ship.

They only heard that the ship accelerated so quickly in a short period of time thanks to a magic circle, but they couldn't figure out why a magic circle with only auxiliary effects could have such powerful power.

What disappointed them the most was that Audis was sitting closest to the "Queen", and the way they were talking showed that they were very familiar with each other, having known each other for more than just a day or two.

And they only learned today that there was such a person by the "Queen's" side.

Just when they couldn't figure out what the Queen had called them here for, Bernadette, sitting at the highest point, said, "Now let Audis tell you about the new ship's weapon system."

Everyone immediately came back to their senses and looked at Audis.

Audis, holding a wine glass, smiled and said, "Everyone, this ship has a total of three weapons. The most powerful one is the 'Spiritual Wave Cannon' at the front of the ship."

"The maximum range is about 60 kilometers, and each shot can destroy a large steel warship. Well, don't worry about not being able to aim..."

Several captains almost dropped their jaws: What kind of ship is this? Even some legendary ghost ships don't have such power!

At this moment, they felt very strange that they, who deal with ships every day, were so surprised by a ship!

But soon, they accepted everything calmly, because this ship had obviously exceeded their understanding of ships.

However, in the extraordinary world, such things happen from time to time, so they did not question it and listened quietly.

Audis took a sip of wine and continued, "In the extraordinary world, there is such a benefit that as long as it is operated properly, you can ensure that every shell hits the target."

"But if there is a demigod on the opposing ship, then even if it hits, it will not cause any damage to the target ship."

"However, as long as there are no demigods, it will definitely be able to injure the target."

Audis, who had already drunk several glasses of wine and felt a little tipsy, sighed and said, "The only problem is that the 'Spiritual Wave Cannon' requires a lot of spirituality. After firing three shots in a row, it needs to rest for 1 minute before it can fire again."

"Moreover, it can only fire one shot every minute, and it needs to rest for more than 10 minutes before it can fire continuously again."

Captain Aubrey finally couldn't help but ask, "This... I mean, Mr. Audis, what are the negative effects of this ship?"

"There are no negative effects," Audis, who was also very happy today, explained, "This is not a ghost ship, nor is it an extraordinary ship like a sealed item."

Raymond, one of the deputy leaders of "Element Dawn", asked what everyone was thinking: "Then why can it launch such a powerful attack?"

"This is temporarily confidential," Audis said, "To be precise, the fewer people who know about this core technology, the better."

The magic circles on the ship used a large number of symbols that he deduced, which is the "Gael Rune". This is something that can completely change humanity's understanding of the extraordinary and is the real core part of Audis's research.

Of course, as long as he uses it, such things will be popularized sooner or later, but Audis wants to control the speed of popularization to avoid causing danger to himself.

Bernadette's subordinates understood that they could not inquire about the real core things. They just needed to listen quietly to what this Audis said.

Audis continued: "The second type of weapon is that there is a 'Machine Gun' on both sides of the ship and at the bow and stern, each with three attack modes. One is to launch continuous fireballs with an explosive effect, with a range of about 10 kilometers."

"Another is to launch continuous frost shells. If fired continuously, it is enough to freeze the enemy's entire ship."

"There is also a water cannon attack, which can launch a large amount of seawater to flush the enemies on the target ship into the sea or wet the opponent's ammunition."

Seeing that her subordinates were hesitant to speak, Bernadette said, "Ask whatever you want, as long as it doesn't involve confidential matters, I will answer you."

Captain Belinda quickly asked, "Mr. Audis, are there no normal cannons?"

Audis was stunned: "No."

Belinda took a deep breath and said, "But... but extraordinary ammunition is generally very valuable, and the person operating this weapon also needs to be at least Sequence 7."

At sea, many ships are equipped with extraordinary cannons, but these extraordinary cannons also require extraordinary ammunition, and a lot of spirituality is needed to activate them when firing.

This is also why normal cannons have not been eliminated, because it is easy to encounter a situation where you fight for half a day, but only grab something worth a few hundred pounds.

If there is only such a small gain, and extraordinary weapons are used completely during combat, then the loss will be even greater!

"No extraordinary ammunition is needed," Audis said again, astonishingly, "The weapons on the ship only need to be used according to the instructions and maintained within two and a half years, and no ammunition is needed."

"Moreover, ordinary crew members can also use these weapons after a certain period of training."

Because there are a large number of magic circles on the ship that condense spirituality, extraordinary ammunition can be formed by itself under the action of the corresponding magic circles, and it can be launched with simple mechanical operations.

"This..." Deputy Leader Raymond did not hide his surprise: "In this case, this ship is basically invincible!"

He had just noticed that the range of the more powerful of the two weapons was about 60 kilometers, which is about twice the range of the most advanced and longest-range naval guns currently available.

If they encounter the ironclad ships of various navies, they can use such weapons to deal with them.

The four machine guns can be used to deal with ordinary pirate ships. Most pirate ships are still using old-fashioned cannons, with a range generally not exceeding 5 kilometers.

Wooden sea ships cannot be equipped with the current powerful naval guns because the recoil is too great, and wooden ships cannot withstand such recoil at all.

If you don't have to worry about ammunition, then the end of ordinary pirate ships is coming.

In addition, the distance of 10 kilometers is still beyond the scope of most Sequence 5 abilities, which means that if there is no demigod on the ship, the target ship will be sunk within one minute.

And Audis also thoughtfully designed water cannons, which were obviously for better looting of spoils.

Raymond exclaimed, "If we equip ten such ships, then we will be the rulers of this sea!"

"This is exactly why I called you here," Bernadette put a grape in her mouth: "But before that, let's listen to the last type of weapon first."

The "Queen's" words gave everyone a clear signal: Audis was not bragging, and these weapons he was talking about might actually be realized in the near future.

Audis continued: "The third type of weapon is at the stern of the ship, which I call the 'Electromagnetic Cannon'. The principle is probably to use extraordinary power to compress lightning and quickly launch it."

"When it encounters external force or reaches a certain position, the power of compressing the air disappears, and an electromagnetic shock wave will be generated in the air."

This is actually not the same as the electromagnetic cannon in Audis's impression, because the electromagnetic cannon in his impression uses the power of electromagnetism to strengthen the range and muzzle velocity of steel shells.

But the "Electromagnetic Cannon" invented by Audis, the "shell" is a lightning bolt. After exploding at a certain distance, the "shell" will radiate outward, first causing a paralyzing effect, and the resulting impact will cause extremely powerful physical damage.

Audis continued with a smile: "Moreover, the gun barrel of the 'Electromagnetic Cannon' is flexible and has air defense capabilities."

Everyone was stunned: Air defense?

They didn't quite understand why there would be such a design?

Generally, there is no need for air defense capabilities except for dealing with "Wind Blessed Ones"...

At this time, everyone understood that this design might be used to deal with the "Wind Blessed Ones"?

They didn't have time to think about it, Bernadette had already said: "After the first new ship is launched, I will continuously manufacture several such new ships for you to use as flagships."

"But there is one thing you must pay attention to. Usually, this ship will sail at normal speed, disguised as only being able to use fast speed and those weapons at critical times."

She paused and explained: "We don't have the protection of the political power of a major country. If we suddenly master a powerful ship, it is easy to be attacked by various countries and churches."

"Everyone needs to be patient before the time is right, but with these ships, everyone's combat power will definitely be enhanced."

"Don't be polite when you encounter the ironclad ships of various countries demonstrating. Give them a few shots from a distance to let them know how powerful we are."

Before the appearance of the new ironclad ships of various navies, the fleets of the sea "Four Kings" even dared to plunder the navy's supplies, but after the powerful ironclad ships appeared, they did not dare to approach the navy too much.

And Bernadette's so-called "right time" is when she becomes an angel. At that time, other political forces will be afraid enough of "Element Dawn" and will not dare to openly capture "Element Dawn's" new ships and then go back to study them.

They could only resort to a more reliable method: purchasing new types of ships.

This point had been discussed with Bernadette when Audis first arrived at Emerald Palace. Ships could be bought, but technology could not.

This way, various countries would lack sufficient references and would almost be unable to master the symbols deduced by Audis in a short period.

Then, they would still need to buy technical services, and if they wanted to learn, it would be even more expensive.

Although it sounds like the cost of each ship is very high now, it will soon be earned back in the future, and with a large profit.

This is Bernadette's entire plan, but now she is not yet an angel, so she can only ask her subordinates to be more low-key. Moreover, the current display of firepower is also very important, equivalent to a product introduction.

Although everyone doesn't know the "Queen's" true purpose, they are very happy to have a new type of ship to use.

With such advanced weapons, they can consider targets they didn't dare to seize before, and they can try enemies they didn't dare to fight before.

Anyway, the speed is so fast that as long as they don't court death by challenging other "Kings," they will definitely be able to escape.

Next, Bernadette announced the order in which several main subordinates would receive the new ships and asked them to communicate regularly after receiving the new ships to master them as soon as possible.

Everyone was happy this time. Several captains toasted Audis, which made Audis drink more than another bottle. Even as a Beyonder, he was a little drunk.

The banquet ended after 10 p.m. This is not Backlund, nor Trier, and the people attending the banquet are not nobles, so they don't have the habit of holding dances. After eating and drinking enough, they go back to sleep or find streetwalkers.

Audis followed behind Bernadette and returned to the backyard of Emerald Palace.

Bernadette looked at the round moon today and suddenly invited Audis: "Let's take a walk on the beach."

Audis nodded: "Okay."

Under the hazy moonlight, the waves slowly pushed towards the shore, making the beach very flat.

Audis and Bernadette walked slowly forward on the beach, talking about the new ship today.

Bernadette said with emotion: "I finally understand why you were so low-key when you were in Backlund."

"You clearly found a way to cultivate spirituality herbs and animals, but you only dared to use it on a small scale."

"When your strength is not strong enough, but you have mastered the technology and knowledge that can change this world, you will either be regarded as a great man by everyone, or you will be taken away by powerful people."

When Audis first wanted to build a ship for her, she was quite happy, but after seeing the sea trial today, she suddenly felt a threat from the angel level.

The total cost of this ship is only about 60,000 pounds, while the current largest ironclad ship in the Loen Kingdom costs about 130,000 pounds.

If there is no demigod on the ironclad ship, the new ship can scrap it with at most two shots, and the cost performance is very high!

If the Intis Republic learns about the specific performance of this ship, they will definitely send angels to seize it!

Not only Intis, but other countries are also the same.

So Bernadette asked her subordinates to only occasionally accelerate to the fastest speed, and the weapons on the ship were also used occasionally, creating the illusion that it would cost a lot to perform similar operations.

Audis pondered for a moment and said: "I can set up a 'self-destruct button'. Once pressed, the magic circle will automatically burn, and in the end, no clues will be left for the other party."

Bernadette was slightly stunned: "That's a good idea."

"The person in charge of this button cannot be the captain." Audis added: "We need to find one or two inconspicuous people on this ship to arrange this task."
