After calming down this familiar true disciple, Loran Hill walked up the stairs on the side wall of the workshop, and then stood on the third floor overlooking the huge keel and the prototype of the floating boat in the factory, wondering what it would look like when completed.

"Which batch is it now?" Loran Hill asked.

"This is the third batch, and it is also the largest model of floating dragon boat currently manufactured," the disciple introduced.

It turns out that the air boats built by the Xiangyu Sect are divided into several types. First, a batch of small-sized air boats were built to test technology and verify the effects. Later, they were improved and a second batch of medium-sized air boats were built. Now there are large-sized air boats. Because their functional structure is quite different from that of ordinary air boats, they are called dragon boats to distinguish them.

Although the Land of Oz was destroyed hundreds of years ago, its skills in manufacturing floating warships have not been completely lost. Some of them have been passed down through various means. The Land of Lurna obtained some of them, simplified and miniaturized them, and manufactured a large number of floating airships. The Hina Moon Council used them to manufacture warships at sea and specialized in naval battles. As for the East, some of the original and complete skills have been retained. Although they are not as flexible and fast as the airships of Lurna, they are larger in size and can carry more people and cargo.

Each of the skills has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to say which one is more advanced. Now, after integrating the skills of the three families, Loran Hill has improved some of them himself and then taught them to the disciples and craftsmen in the sect. However, design is design after all, and it needs to be constantly adjusted in practice, which requires a lot of time and personnel. This is why Loran Hill asked the Xiangyu Sect to recruit a large number of craftsmen.

"Based on the knowledge imparted by our Head Sister, we've made numerous adjustments, and the design used in this boat is the most stable overall. Compared to ordinary floating boats, this dragon boat can reach speeds of over a hundred kilometers per hour after utilizing its internal turbine fire vortex acceleration. We can go even faster, but not for extended periods, or it will damage the hull."

"The outer deck of the dragon ship is made of yellow toon wood produced in the Huangyu Secret Realm. Its quality is similar to that of gold grade. With our current reserves, we can build up to fifty similar dragon ships."

"Because our sect has accumulated years of experience in wood grain craftsmanship, we can fully utilize the advantages of these materials. The twenty-layer Cotinus coggygria wind-stabilizing array engraved on the ship allows the entire hull to easily withstand the full force of a sixth-level transcendent. A seventh-level being might only suffer minor damage, of course, assuming there aren't enough disciples on board to cast the array."

"If we equip each dragon ship with about 50 seventh-level true disciples, it can temporarily withstand attacks from eighth-level 'Ascendant Realm' practitioners. This time is enough to support other dragon ships in the surrounding area to come to support."

"For attack, the scarlet oars and sails on both sides of the dragon boats utilize the Fire Bird Burning Feather Formation provided by Zhu Zhan Huo Lian Yuan. This formation can be used not only by a single boat, but also by multiple boats. If there are more than sixteen boats, it can form a Fire Phoenix Covering the Sky Formation. Wherever it goes, blazing winds will illuminate, burning gods and slaying demons. Back in the early days of the dynasty, it was used by Zhu Zhan Huo Lian Yuan's disciples and became world-famous."

"Besides the flaming sails used in large-scale military battles, the main cannon, modified using my sect's 'Incense Burning Sun Formation', is mounted on the main shaft inside the hull. Three pre-made fuel powders are added to the barrel and swirled around, ignited by applying high temperatures. Then, the formation within the barrel is used to eject the phlogiston that has ignited the mutated fuel, sweeping across and piercing the enemy ahead."

"Such a powerful main gun, I remember it has quite a few shortcomings."

"Yes. Because when the cannon is charged and fired, energy is needed to confine the phlogiston in the barrel and eject it, which drains most of the dragon ship's energy supply. This causes the dragon ship to lose a lot of power and slow down significantly in the minutes before and after firing. However, according to tests conducted by fellow disciples, sacrificing a short period of speed in order to fire a powerful shot is still worth it. Even a Sequence 8 monster would suffer great damage from the full force of the main gun."

"Well, besides the main gun, after all, not every enemy would be so stupid as to stand still under artillery fire."

"We've also tested many solutions to this problem, and we currently have two ideas. The first is to deploy four Frost Star Crossbows on the forward deck of the Dragon Ship. This utilizes the techniques of the 'Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion.' The crossbow arrows are made of North Sea refined steel and are crafted using the Guanxing Mansion's Lianxing Formation. Not only do they have the power to break through magic and armor, but they can also be infused with mana by personnel during launch, increasing their power. In addition to the four Frost Star Crossbows, thirty-six Thunderbolt Blue Lightning Mirrors have been installed on both sides of the ship for use by disciples of levels 5-7. When activated, they transform mana into blue sky lightning, which arrives instantly. They're specifically designed for swift enemies. Even if they can't be scorched and penetrated immediately, they can be paralyzed and sent crashing down, rendering them incapable of speed."

"The second plan is slightly different. Instead of the Frost Star Crossbow and Thunderbolt Blue Lightning Mirror, the internal space will be cleared to accommodate eight Phantom Fire Skeleton Owls provided by the Ningzi Zhaoye Palace. These Owls can transform into ghosts and stealthily fly over great distances for attack or reconnaissance."

"This seems to be a good idea too. The two options can be used together." Loran Hill nodded.

"The one currently under construction is using Design Number One, right?"

"Yes, only one ship of the second design has been built for verification."

"Then let's build a few more of Design No. 2, using a 5:1 ratio. Build five Design No. 1 dragon boats, and one Design No. 2."

"Yes, Master." The true disciple nodded excitedly, then picked up the cardboard at hand and wrote it down.
