Chapter 459 Charge Coffin
Hughes said in a surprised tone, "Really? Can you change them all at once?"
"It's true. Every flaw has been solved - completely solved! This is no joke!"
As he spoke, Tata handed over the drawings in his hand.
When Xius saw it, he took a deep breath and his eyes looked strange.
How did he see the reins and saddle? "This time I designed the Type 01 assault boat. Because I needed to balance flexibility and reliability, I gave up the steam engine, which was not powerful enough and took up a lot of space, and chose a new energy source - human power!"
Hughes's hands holding the blueprint began to tremble.
"Each boat is equipped with nine Banshees, with four shafts providing power, three in the front, two on the left, right and rear. As we all know, Banshees can move extremely quickly and flexibly in the sea. Our speedboats therefore have the ability to travel in all directions, a feat that has never been seen in the history of shipbuilding!"
"Not to mention the speed. No ship can match the speed of the banshees in the sea, but my speedboat can. It can even be half a body length ahead of the two banshees behind the boat!"
"While the flexibility and agility have been greatly improved, the firepower of the assault boat is also stronger than ever before. We can carry 54 Dragon Breath Cannons at full capacity!"
"The power system and fire control system of other ships are independent, but they are integrated for the first time on the assault boat. Since the Banshees can do multiple things at once, they can swim, search for enemies, and fire at the same time, truly completing a fully automatic and fully dynamic shooting system!"
"As for the problem of insufficient reliability that you mentioned last time, I have also reflected deeply on it, and it is reflected in the design of this new ship - I designed a lid for the ship!"
"Don't underestimate this lid, it's sealed. Even if the boat capsizes, it won't affect our continued sailing. This means we have a boat that will never sink!!"
Tata stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to receive the applause from the crowd.
Hughes looked at the design drawing blankly. Tata still remembered his original intention, and the ship he designed this time still looked like a coffin.
There's even a lid.
Xius took the blueprint and looked at it again and again. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed familiar. He thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Nine dragons and nine snakes pulling the coffin?"
Tata was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "This name. Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but your aesthetic taste is a bit poor."
Even Hughes couldn't hold it in any longer. He pointed at the door without even looking up and said, "Get him out!"
Monica took the lead and lifted Tata up and threw him out the door. She quickly closed the door regardless of his shouting and patted her chest with lingering fear: "I don't want to pull a coffin. This design reminds me of when I was a slave."
Nini burst out laughing.
"When you were a slave, you didn't pull a coffin. You cried all day long. The seabed was made bitter by your crying~"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"By the way, why are Tata's designs getting more and more outrageous?"
"His designs have always been outrageous. Isn't the Stellar Furnace outrageous? But to be honest, they are all feasible. Don't tell me, if this Charge Coffin is really made, it can really achieve the effect he said - just tell me whether the three problems have been solved, whether the ship is small enough, whether it has the Dragon Breath Cannon, and whether it is reliable enough?"
Nini laughed out loud.
"You are right, but now the question is, who will pull the coffin?"
Monica was stunned, pointed at Nini with three fingers, and covered her mouth with three trembling hands.
"I, I'm still a child, how can you let me pull a coffin!"
After Tata's interruption, the atmosphere in the room was no longer so heavy.
People began to talk in low voices, while Ash was alone, with his arms folded, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, her eyes lit up: "My Lord."
Zeus shuddered and looked over with some suspicion. He was frightened by these unreliable fire moths, and hoped they would not come up with any more tricks.
But when he saw it was Ash, he felt a little relieved. Ash was still very reliable.
"You have any ideas? Tell me now."
"Okay, Lord, I just thought about it and I feel that Tata's charge coffin still has its merits. At least it can really support the North, but it is a bit cumbersome."
Is there still room for improvement in that assault coffin? Xiusi was stunned: "Where is the burden?"
"The coffin is a burden. If we remove the coffin and directly have nine banshees form a team, wouldn't it be more efficient?"
After saying that, she pointed to Castel on the map and said, "Let a team of banshees swim along the sea to the North, and then swim along the Kohler River. Most of the routes are connected by water systems, and we swim very fast in the water. Although we have to take a lot of detours, it is actually the fastest overall, I guess..."
She gestured the distance.
"Four days! If everything goes well, we can get there in four days!"
Unlike the plan on land, this "everything goes well" is really possible. The enemy Castel in the Storm Ocean has been eliminated, and there is nothing in the river that can threaten the existence of the Banshees, right? Zeus' eyes lit up. This method seems to be really feasible! The Banshees carry heavy firepower and can really go to the battlefield! And with the symbiotic contract, their combat effectiveness is quite strong, so there is no need to be afraid of individual injuries!
Wait, symbiotic contract. "Symbiotic contract, there is a distance limit, right?"
The symbiotic contract provides a shared life pool and a mental link within a close range, but once you exceed the symbiotic range, you will continue to lose vitality. It's okay for a day or two, but after a long time, you won't be able to bear the continuous loss of blood without the enemy's attack.
"Yes, we can't stay away from Castel for a long time. It takes eight days to go back and forth, and there can be one or two days of combat in between. It will be very dangerous if it is longer."
The North is very far away from Caster, and the banshees have to spend most of their time traveling.
"One or two days of fighting time, one or two days." Hughes stood up and walked to the map. He first found the area covered by the Kohler River, and then used charcoal to expand it, drawing a large circle.
"That means your range of action is roughly this large."
Banshees move extremely quickly in water, but the same cannot be said for land.
The banshees' ability to move on land comes from the contract they signed with Zeus. Without this contract, they would all be swollen monsters. In other words, the banshees' ability to move in the sea is due to their extraordinary powers, but they have no such power on land, and their snake tails are not very suitable for long-distance marches.
You can travel a thousand miles a day along the river, but only a few dozen miles a day on land. "But I looked at the map, and the forests are basically along the river, so there's no need to worry about not finding the resistance army - can they still fight their way to the city?"
