"Lift the anchor, give me a little sharpness..."

With the cry of chief mate Ludford, the two sailors quickly pushed a magic engine to the winch, connected the anchor chain to the winch, and then activated the rune disc on the magic engine.

The winch turns quickly, the chain is pulled back inch by inch, and the sound of "jingling" metal collision also rings.

The deck was full of sailors and workers running around. It was also full of shouts, shouts, footsteps, and the sound of wheels rolling on the deck. It looked like it was in full swing.

The workers are busy pushing the trolley loaded with black iron ore to the designated position. This is the last batch of ore hoisted by magic machine. With this batch of ore, the total weight of ore loaded by Odin has exceeded 250 tons, and the waterline of the ship has also risen nearly 1.5 meters.

If you stand on the stern deck, you can clearly feel that the ship is shaking slightly. Black smoke rises from the high metal chimney, and the thermal engine has been started.

Compared with the marine engines on earth, the thermal magic engine is much quieter. Even in the power cabin, the noise is not big. When talking face to face, you just need to raise the volume. There is no big obstacle in communication.

Unlike marine diesel engines, the noise in the power cabin can be described as "deafening". After staying for a long time, it will even damage hearing, let alone normal communication.

Because it does not need to rely on the combustion gas to do work, its combustion process becomes very stable, the motion mechanism is greatly reduced, and correspondingly, the noise is also greatly reduced.

According to the regulations, the thermal magic engine must be preheated for a period of time, whether it is winter or summer, must do so.

The automobile engine on the earth also needs to be preheated when starting, especially when it is cold in winter. This is to improve the combustion performance of the engine and the fluidity of the lubricating oil.

This is not the case with the thermal magic engine. The reason why it needs to be preheated is that the conversion efficiency of the rune array [thermal magic power] is very low when it is just started. With the continuous operation of the rune array, the conversion efficiency will gradually rise until it reaches the best state.

This process takes about 3-4 minutes.

When everything was ready, Captain Elon gave an order, "woo Woo Wu... " Three loud sirens immediately sounded.

Naturally, the siren is also one of the products of the Lord''s slapping on the head. That is to say, he asked the siege lion of Rune Research Institute to be responsible for the research and development.

In Renault''s view, as an epoch-making magic power ship, how can it not be equipped with sirens?

Is communication all about roaring, just like a sailing boat?

Never!

Although I think it''s a bit redundant, since the Lord has orders, Seth and others have to carry them out.

They installed an additional heat exchange system on the thermal magic engine, using the heat of the combustion chamber to heat a large water tank filled with water. Part of the steam generated is used to drive the whistle, and on the other hand, it is used as the welfare of the crew.

What benefits?

Hot water supply!

You can make tea with boiling water and take a hot bath.

Of course, the former is just Renault''s conjecture. There is no tea in the alien world, waiting for the Lord to "invent". The latter has been proved to be very popular with the crew.

After a day''s hard work, how comfortable should it be to take a comfortable hot bath?

It''s a unique benefit. No sailboat in the world offers it except Odin.

After hearing the sound of the siren, the sailor in the power cabin immediately switched the gearbox to first gear, and the huge propeller suddenly shook and began to rotate slowly.

Odin is back.

The rear deck of Odin.

This is the highest position of the whole ship and also the best scenic spot.

At this time, Renault, moss and Ronald "occupy" this geomantic treasure land, and are leaning against the railing talking and laughing.

The term "geomantic treasure land" is only used in the normal season. In the storm season, only the strong people have the courage to stand here. Otherwise, they may fall off the deck and fall into the sea.

"Is this the magic power crystal of the super armored beast? How did it break like this? " Muse asked with some doubts, holding a piece of magic crystal.

Although the fragment of magic crystal in Mu Si''s hand is only 14 times of the complete magic crystal, it has nearly four fists, which is much larger than the ordinary magic crystal.

Its color is rare silver gray, the texture is extremely transparent and clear, the surface is very smooth, the section is the same, in the afternoon sun appears bright, looking dizzy.

Renault said with an embarrassed smile: "er When I shot, I made a little more effort... "

Mu Si looked at him suspiciously, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Even other people''s magic crystal was like this, which was also called "a little bit bigger"?

He heard the loud noise on the beach, and felt a faint vibration under his feet. At that time, many workers thought there was an earthquake.Ronald''s mouth curved slightly. He quickly lowered his head. Moss has a close relationship with his Lord. He can joke in private. He is not moss. He must keep a respectful attitude all the time.

"Uncle muse, you can keep this magic crystal. I have many more here..." Renault added, trying to change the subject.

Mu Si nodded and accepted the magic crystal impolitely.

Although a large number of magic crystals have been obtained in the territory recently, and muse has also obtained many magic crystals, the magic crystals of extraordinary level are always the most scarce items. The energy contained in them is far more than that of ordinary magic crystals, which is of great help to those with abilities.

Ronald''s eyes show obvious envy, but he can only do it. He also knows that this level of magic crystal is not what he can expect.

As he listened to the conversation between the Lord and muse, he peered at the pocket the LORD had hung on his belt.

"Uncle muse, if you transport another batch of iron ore, there should be enough steel to transform the Haichao..."

"Haichao? Is that the half finished sailboat? "

"Yes, that''s the one. The pirates didn''t pay much attention to their territory, but their shipbuilding was good. Elon had a careful inspection and found that the materials and workmanship were quite good, so it was not difficult to transform them... "

Ronald was very hopeful that the LORD would throw him a small piece of magic crystal just like he did when he killed troll.

Last time Ronald was awarded a piece of magic crystal about the size of 14 fists by the Lord, which was also the first piece of magic crystal he got in his life. He was so happy that he couldn''t close his eyes all night and took it out to enjoy it from time to time.

But Ronald knew that it was very unlikely that Lord would give magic crystal again.

The main reason why he was rewarded last time was that he was the first awakener to surrender and provided a lot of useful information for the Lord.

This time, he just picked up the body of the armored beast, and he didn''t have any special credit. He just sold coolies to get such valuables as magic crystal. There was no door.

Sure enough, as Ronald expected, the LORD did not untie the bag that made him greedy.

For Renault, this is a matter of course. Although his magic crystal is extremely easy to come by, this is not a reason for arbitrary reward.

Here, magic crystal is like Chinese cabbage. He can take out 7 or 8 pieces at will, but it''s only limited to Renault.

Other people want to get some magic crystals. It''s hard.

Even the extraordinary are no exception.

Take the giant tortoise that Renault shot just now. Under normal circumstances, how many extraordinary people are needed to deal with it?

At least 5, only then has with the giant turtle one battle strength.

You know, giant tortoise has almost no short board, its defense is very strong, and the earthly super is not as fast as it, and the speed of action is not slow at all. Not many human super can run it.

The only drawback is the lack of long-range ability, but the ability of gravity makes up for this disadvantage perfectly.

If you want to beat it, you need at least 10 extras.

As for killing, it depends on luck.

Why do you say that?

Giant tortoise is not a fool, nor a monster in the game. If you see a group of extraordinary people appear, the first reaction is of course to slip away.

Knowing that the enemy is powerful, why don''t you run? Waiting for the enemy to brush?

Where will the giant turtle go?

The sea, of course.

Its size is huge, the impact force is amazing, much stronger than the tanks on the earth, as long as the head slamming, no one can stop it.

Once it rushes to the shore and dives into the water, who can do anything with it?

Giant tortoise has lived for so many years. Do you really think it''s as old as a dog?

Because of this, none of the wild animals have to be killed.

There are even some particularly cunning guys, who are equally proficient in the 16 character formula of guerrilla warfare: "the enemy advances, the enemy retreats, the enemy stands, the enemy harasses, the enemy exhausts, the enemy retreats, the enemy pursues.".

For this kind of metamorphosis, there are so many people that it''s not necessarily possible to kill it. Maybe it''s possible to be killed.

So, it''s hard for the extraordinary to kill the same level beast, but it''s easy to kill the low level beast? Like an awakening beast?

Can I brush magic crystal in this way?

It''s a good question. The answer is yes in theory, but no in practice.

The truth is not hard to understand. Basically, the good places have been brushed, and the rest are the bad places, such as the remote areas like Haichao islands.

Therefore, even if it is extraordinary, it is not easy to brush magic crystal.

For another example, the black iguana on the Black Lizard Island produces magic crystals, but why does Renault only go there once?

Why not brush it repeatedly? Just brush a few more times, won''t there be a lot of magic crystals?

Because the lizards have deeply remembered him, as long as they see the "bipedal monster", they can run faster than rabbits, either quickly into the sea, or hide in the Bush, and refuse to show up.If Renault goes to brush it again, he will consider moving if there are not many magic lizards on the island.

It''s not safe to be a neighbor to such a dangerous guy.

For the above reasons, any piece of magic crystal is extremely rare in the eyes of the extraordinary.

Since magic crystal is so precious, Renault will not give it to his subordinates easily.

Ronald wants to be rewarded. Let''s work hard for him first.

After another chat between Renault and moss, he suddenly finds that Moss''s face seems to be quite different.

In the windy month when the temperature is not high at all, and in the cool sea breeze, mousse''s forehead exudes a little sweat, and his cheeks are red, just like running thousands of meters in the heat.

Renault was surprised and asked, "Uncle muse, what''s the matter with you?"

Muse showed a trace of pain. He moved his lips and was about to speak. As a result, just as he opened his mouth, there was a flame in his mouth!

Renault was stunned. I wiped it. When can Muse spit out his flame?

Is he going to wake up the Dragon warlock constitution?

Haven''t you heard that there is such a thing in the world?
