Chapter 544: Ice-breaking Journey
Lin Wen activated [Fish and Water Harmony], and the water flow seemed to welcome their king, jubilantly embracing him in its arms.
Then, the standard combat spells [Qi Ban Divine Power], [Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers], and [Swiftness of the Spirit Cat] were activated, and Lin Wen did not use any deeper spells.
He wants to save his soul.
He moved his body and shot out like an arrow, the water dragging his body faster than any nano swimsuit. His enormous strength and perfect agility magnified his affinity for water countless times, making him look like the returned Poseidon.
With a glance, the deep seabed was as clear as the blue sky, and dozens of strange-looking water ghosts were as conspicuous as ghosts under the sun.
Lin Wen swung his legs and his body immediately drew a perfect circle without even a trace of extra bubbles.
With a stroke of his hands, countless sea water rushed to push him forward. In a very short time, Lin Wen's speed exceeded the speed of sound underwater - 1483 meters per second.
Just like breaking the speed of sound in the air, breaking the speed of sound underwater will also produce a sonic boom. Water is much denser than air and is extremely difficult to compress. The super-strong shock waves formed by the sonic boom collide front and back, producing an unprecedented huge cavitation.
It was like countless bombs exploding in succession, and the entire ocean was boiling. Amidst the countless surging white waves and bubbles, Lin Wen descended from the sky like lightning and smashed a water ghost's head with one punch.
The yellow-green mist suddenly exploded, revealing a dark green crustacean-like substance beneath the black diving suit.
Obviously, this is a biochemical special warfare body.
Lin Wen quickly left the polluted waters. The other water ghosts wanted to fight back, but their movement speed underwater was very slow, far less fast than on the shore.
Lin Wen, like lightning, blew up the clumsily moving water ghosts one by one.
To be fair, they are much more agile in the water than dolphins, but compared to Lin Wen, they are like water sloths and cheetahs on land.
Judging from the hardness in his hand, these insect special forces are probably level two, and he cannot penetrate the shell of a level three insect.
Its shape is also different from that of ordinary insect people. It looks a bit like a complex of water centipede, red nematode and human, which is very disgusting.
"It seems that the Empire's biochemical monsters have not been completely banned. Some people are still conducting biochemical experiments and biochemical transformations."
Lin Wen thought.
"This thing should be wiped out of the world."
With a quick glance, I saw the submarine in the distance.
It seemed that it had not yet realized that the water ghost army was completely wiped out, and was quietly staying in the water. A deep-water sonar floated out, as if it wanted to investigate the movement of the water explosion just now.
But when it detected a sonic boom, it was all over.
Lin Wen rushed onto the submarine at an unimaginable speed, tore open its lid, and seawater poured into the submarine frantically.
Lin Wen also flowed in with the water and kindly helped them close the lid again.
The interior of the submarine was very narrow, the air was turbid and stuffy, mixed with a disgusting stench, and a dozen dark-skinned guys were operating the submarine.
Lin Wen blew them all up without any hindrance, and the submarine became his.
Since then, the Changshan County Navy finally had an offensive ship.
Lin Wen didn't know much about submarine operations, and the hundreds of instruments and devices were dizzying.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Wen directly found the knob with the word “drainage” written on it and turned it all the way down.
The submarine's water tanks began to drain, the submarine's weight decreased rapidly, and it soon surfaced.
Afterwards, Lin Wen found Xiao Xiao and asked him to notify the captains of the major cargo ships to drop the anchors, as Changshan County's diving tugboats would come to pull them up.
Xiao Xiao had already spotted the submarine drifting on the water and wondered, "This seems to be just an ordinary submarine... From the outside, it looks a lot like an Imperial Sea Wolf-class submarine, but without the markings."
Lin Wen said impatiently: "The core is different, just let you do it."
Xiao Xiao had no choice but to do as he was told.
Lin Wen jumped into the water again, tied the anchors of the eleven giant ships together, then pulled up the eleven 300-meter-long anchor hinges with one hand and pushed the submarine with the other hand, moving towards the west coast of the ocean.
Generally speaking, the thrust of a giant ship is between 0.35-0.9 of its gross tonnage. These eleven giant ships are of the same model and all have a power of 46,000 horsepower.
The submarine's power is even smaller, at only 5,000 horsepower.
In other words, Lin Wen only needs 510,000 horsepower to tow these huge monsters.
Of course, the output power of the dual-power and one cat is not that high.
But this is the ocean.
Lin Wen directly activated the [Water God Technique].
There was no super enhancement this time. Lin Wen only had a medium-sized white star, so he could only simply strengthen the [Spirit of the Five Elements], which greatly reduced the continuous consumption of the Five Elements magic.
Lin Wen's soul still has 211% left. While maintaining the minimum consumption, [Water God Technique] only uses 0.5% per minute and can last for six hours.
Lin Wen only used one ability of the [Water Magic] - to eliminate the resistance and viscosity of the water flow on the ship.
In this way, the ship is moving on a mirror surface with no resistance.
Even elementary school students who have only learned Newton's second law know that in this case, matter will accelerate infinitely and will never slow down.
So, Lin Wen dragged the anchor with one hand and pushed the submarine with the other, heading towards the other side of the ocean.
To the people on the shore, it looked like the submarine was dragging the anchor and carrying them forward.
The scene was spectacular.
Eleven giant hinges, each three hundred meters long, stretched across the sky, penetrated the stern of the submarine, and towed eleven ocean-going ships forward.
It's like a miracle.
Although they started out very slowly, it made people worry whether they could sail to the next port.
But the speed was getting faster and faster, as if there was no limit to the acceleration. It soon exceeded their maximum speed and continued to accelerate.
Everyone was shocked.
How could this submarine, which looked like a grain of rice in their eyes, have such great power?
It's like an ant dragging eleven mountains while running.
The stern of this submarine is so strong? It's not even torn?
The sharp-eyed sailors keenly noticed that there was no splash around the boat, and the water flowed over the side of the boat as if it were caressing a soft mirror.
But no one cared about this tiny detail.
The captains were busy steering.
Fortunately, the rudder was not broken, otherwise the eleven huge ships would have collided with each other.
After about an hour, everyone began to get scared because they were going over sixty yards a minute.
Moreover, as ocean currents and storms blow, their speed becomes even faster.
Xiao Xiao yelled, "Chief Lin, stop speeding! It's dangerous!"
Lin Wen was soaking in the water and had no time to answer the phone. He just felt that the boat had become lighter and it seemed that it could reach the port faster.
Maybe you can save a lot of energy.
So Lin Wen pushed even harder.
Two hours later, with the help of the strong wind and Lin Wen, the speed of the giant ship had exceeded 200 yards. Even the seaplane could not run faster than them.
Everyone's face was pale, the captains were sweating profusely, and they were operating frantically, fearing that they would accidentally collide with the huge ships.
At this speed, the only outcome is destruction.
Three hours later, the huge ship was almost flying out of the water.
Everyone hid in the cabin, shivering and praying for God's protection.
Three and a half hours later, Lin Wen suddenly felt the pulling force on his hands increase. Turning around, he saw that the wind speed had decreased. He was running too fast and the wind had become a resistance.
Lin Wen was shocked to realize that the speed was too fast. At this speed, the giant ship was no different from a meteorite.
With his strength, it is impossible to slow down.
However, in the physical world, understanding physics means understanding the laws of nature.
Lin Wen began to slow down the control of the water flow by the [Water Magic] to restore the water's resistance to the giant ship.
But it’s not cancelled all at once.
In that case, the huge ship sailing at high speed would be no different from crashing into the concrete ground.
Lin Wen relaxed little by little, gradually restoring the viscosity and resistance of the water on the boat, and slowly reducing the speed of the boat.
Gradually, the giant ship returned to the ordinary world from the spiritual world.
After about an hour the ship's speed had dropped to fifty yards.
At this time, they were already very close to the west coast. There were more and more ships passing by. All the crew members looked at the eleven huge ships in amazement as they were riding the wind and waves at a speed of fifty miles per hour.
Lin Wen had already untied the anchor, otherwise they would not only be surprised, but would also call the police.
Before it got dark, the giant ship finally used its last bit of power and, with the help of a real tugboat, docked in the port of the Xiusu Empire.
This crazy journey ended here, leaving only a magical section in the logbook: in four and a half hours, they sailed more than 1,600 nautical miles with an average speed of 350 yards per hour.
Nothing on the water moves faster than them.
The port administrators were still surprised by their early arrival, and the port governor of the Xiusu Empire complained that they did not notify them in advance, resulting in their welcome ceremony not being prepared.
When the frightened captains proposed to overhaul the ship, the engineers were amazed at the madness of the imperial captains.
They were racing the boat on the sea and blew the propeller away.
But no one said what exactly happened.
Because Xiao Xiao warned them that anyone who leaked County Chief Lin's latest scientific and technological achievements would be shot.
As one of the senior executives of Changshan County, Xiao Xiao was well aware that the nuclear power plant in Changshan County was about to be connected to the grid.
Nuclear energy should be used to generate electricity, so why not in engines?
This submarine must be the legendary nuclear-powered submarine!
Only nuclear-powered submarines have such strong power.
Lin Wen didn't realize that Xiao Xiao had already made up all the excuses for him. The Xiusu Empire was very welcome to their arrival.
Their former rival, Deputy Chief of Staff Feng Yinrian, flew to the port overnight to greet them.
Soon, all the experts and commanders from the major powers that had fought in the Papal States gathered together for a welcome party held in their honor.
Lin Wen opened his mind and went to sleep.
A night passed.
The next day, many experts couldn't wait to ask Lin Wen about the technology of the Imperial Robots.
In their actual research on robots, they encountered countless insurmountable obstacles.
Based on the performances of robots on the battlefield at that time, they calculated a lot of data, but these data were either contradictory or simply impossible to achieve.
The sci-fi light fog and the inexplicable super magnetic storm have left countless mysteries in the minds of experts, making them unable to sleep all night and feel itchy.
Now that the real culprit has finally arrived, they naturally want to solve the mystery.
Of course, we can't expect them to reveal the real secrets, but at least they can reveal some inside information to satisfy their itch.
Lin Wen took the opportunity to invite them to visit the No. 99 Scientific Research Institute in Changshan County.
Although there was a suggestion that involved sensitive poaching, no one could refuse it. They all notified their own countries and asked relevant officials to arrange an official visit to the empire as soon as possible, and specifically requested to go to Changshan County.
Lin Wen was secretly delighted. This way, I can finally prove my scientificity, right? There will be no more rumors, right?
As for the robot, Lin Wen directly played a trump card.
He can provide detailed drawings for mechanical engineering.
But the electronic control system, EVA system, AT position, and the most critical energy core cannot be given.
The suggestion immediately caused a sensation.
Experts from various countries originally just wanted to come here to make some money, but they didn't expect such a big news to break out.
That evening, chief scientists, directors of research institutes, important officials of science ministries, and even ministerial-level officials from several major countries all gathered together for a secret meeting.
According to gossip leaked by the guards that day, the high-ranking officials quarreled endlessly and even broke out in a fight. Feng Yinlian, the deputy chief of staff of the Xiusu Empire, showed his prowess in the fight and plucked out all the nose hairs of the old marshal of the Western Federation.
Finally, everyone who had barely reached a consensus sat down at the negotiating table.
It's no wonder they are so exaggerated.
Since the War of the Papal States, the power of robots has been deeply rooted in people's minds, and all major powers believe that the mainstream of future wars will be the legendary robot wars.
The Empire has already taken the lead, how can we prevent them from getting anxious?
The robotics research institute they jointly established is a piece of shit. The more they research, the more it proves that the robot cannot exist.
The generals from various countries who were waiting to drive the Gundam had already been cursing in their hearts, aren't these all useless experts?
They are fighting fiercely on the battlefield, and you say they don't exist?
Did we lose to the gods?
Now, they finally have a good opportunity, and of course they can't let it go.
Lin Wen glanced at the representatives across the negotiation table who were bruised and battered, and thought that the rumors were probably true.
However, although they were so eager, Lin Wen did not ask for too much. He only asked them to buy goods from Changshan County and personally send a ship to transport them, and the price would remain the same as before.
Lin Wen will divide the drawings into two parts, and submit one part after completing one year's contract.
In this way, Changshan County firstly saved on shipping costs, and secondly, it also avoided harassment.
The opposition group is not yet willing to openly attack foreign cargo ships, which would cause diplomatic disputes.
To be fair, Lin Wen’s request was not excessive. After careful discussion, officials from various countries agreed and finalized the details of the contract.
In order to show his sincerity, Lin Wen directly handed them half of the drawings from the first year. The experts were immediately attracted by the perfect craftsmanship structure.
For the rest of the day, the conference room was filled with gasps of air, and there was no need to turn on the heating.
The trip ended successfully and both parties got satisfactory results.
Soon, the six-nation group led by the Western Federation and the Xiusu Empire formally sent a diplomatic note to the empire, requesting to establish formal foreign trade relations with Changshan County.
Li Longxing agreed without hesitation. He forcefully eliminated all interference, ordered the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conclude a formal trade agreement with the Six-Nation Group, and tried to expand more trade relations based on the original rules.
This work has been very effective.
Both sides have needs for each other.
soon.
The empire's maritime transport, which had been silent for more than a year, began to be unblocked. The rise of trade further improved the empire's economy. Many bosses no longer cared about the minimum wage and started recruiting people.
However, just when everything was getting better, Lin Yabo found another flaw.
