Should we learn the Water Elemental Cannon technique?

"yes!"

Gu Xi learned it first, and then opened the production interface to take a look.

[Water Element Cannon: Can unleash the power of water elemental essence to fire water projectiles. Required materials: Water Elemental Essence *1, Mystic Iron *10.]

Is this a cannon used on a ship?

Gu Xi tilted his head, pondering the value of the Water Elemental Cannon.

Since their mental powers were unlocked, the sharks' combat strength has plummeted.

Fortunately, she managed to subdue the octopus and the shark king during this round of disasters, which stabilized her fighting power.

This was just a shark attack; what if we encounter a sea monster attack in the future?

Improving one's own strength is certainly important, but having the means to defeat the enemy is also essential.

This disaster clearly demonstrates that defensive fortifications are only effective against sharks that have already gotten close to the ship.

If the shark is far away, everyone is almost helpless.

Now, the ship's long-range weapons have arrived.

First came the Fat Fish Bomb, and now comes this Water Element Cannon.

With long-range weapons on board, dealing with a shark swarm becomes much easier.

However, water elemental essences are quite rare; so far, she has only obtained three.

A water elemental cannon is a must. Since it's being made anyway, and she's expanding her business anyway, she might as well build it along with the ship.

The purpose of this ship expansion is not to rearrange functional areas or replace materials, but to completely improve its resistance to wind and waves.

The battle with the Shark King once again showed her what a deep-sea crisis was like. Without making the ship bigger, it was impossible to even enter the deep sea, let alone fight.

Since there are no suitable materials available, she still plans to use iron ingots to make it.

She counted her remaining iron ingots; there were 1,432 left.

However, not all of these iron blocks are used for expansion; some are also used for repairs and maintenance.

Although the damage isn't visible due to the Heart of Fortitude, the game does provide a warning.

During the subsequent battle, she heard the game warning twice more, and she didn't know the extent of the ship's damage.

Gu Xi opened the construction interface, and all the damaged parts were marked in red.

Boat

Area: 278

Wave resistance: 278

Defense: 723

Condition: 75% (20850/27800)

Gu Xi looked at the defenses, then thought about the Shark King's attack power, and suddenly she realized something.

The defense here does not refer to overall defense, but rather to the sum of the defensive capabilities of the ship's foundation. Stronger defenses simply mean a longer time is required to breach it.

Indeed, better materials should be used to make the ship's base in the future.

After thinking it over, Gu Xi turned her attention back to the damaged area.
