Magic Industry Empire - 741. Chapter 741

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled from the west, staining the sea with blood red.

However, if you look carefully, you will find that the blood red color on the nearby sea is not completely dyed by the setting sun.

Among the broken planks floating around on the sea, there are corpses with gray and black clothing on their bodies.

From these corpses, a pool of bright red blood flowed out, dyeing the color of the sea even more thrilling.

However, this miserable situation fell into the eyes of Remito Russell, but it could not cause the slightest throbbing in his heart.

Looking at the corpses floating on the sea and the surrounding areas because they were severely damaged, they were sinking rapidly, bringing up a huge whirlpool, and at the same time they brought the corpses into the deep sea and passed them on the huge ship. Russell couldn’t help but squinted his eyes slightly. .

This is the seventeenth day of cooperation between the Third Fleet of the Candela Imperial Navy and the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. The group of pirates encountered today is the thirteenth group of pirates they encountered in these seventeen days.

As with the twelve batches of pirates before, there was no need for the Candela Imperial Navy fleet to take action. When these pirates were discovered, the New Flying Merchants Association’s frigate immediately launched a fierce offensive, and they were still a short distance away from these pirates. Thousands of meters away, these pirate ships have been defeated.

These poor pirates didn’t even touch the side of the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from beginning to end, and they had all been bombed into the sea.

Except for some quick pirates who got on the boat and fled the battlefield first, the rest of the pirates were not spared and all fell into the deep sea.

Waiting for their fate, either fell into the mouth of the shark, or drowned directly.

Russell has no sympathy for these pirates, but every time he sees the fierce offensive of the New Flying Merchants Association’s frigate, he can’t help his forehead bounce.

Would the result be any different if these pirates were replaced by the Candela Empire naval fleet?

In the beginning, Russell also imagined many ways to deal with the offensive of the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet in his mind.

For example, to encircle one step in advance, not to give the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet time to develop its range advantage.

For example, if you are severely damaged, you must get close to the escort fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.

Another example…

But after these days time and time again, after seeing the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s escort fleet indiscriminately bullying these pirates, Russell overturned all the assumptions in his heart little by little.

Now he can be sure that even if these pirates are replaced by the Candela Imperial Navy fleet, there will be no change in the result.

The only difference is probably that the Candela Imperial Navy will persist longer than these pirates.

As to whether more people can escape, it depends on the mood of the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet.

After all, the terrifying frigates of the New Flying Merchants Association’s frigate are far faster at sea than the Candela Empire Navy fleet and the ordinary wooden ships of the pirates. If they want to pursue them, there is no possibility of escape.

As for the positive shock?

What a joke!

The terrifying magic artillery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce’s escort fleet will make you completely defeated if you can’t even touch their sides!

And with the super fast speed of the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet, wanting to encircle them is simply a fantasy!

So Russell and the new flying chamber of commerce frigate worked together for seventeen days, and they thought for seventeen days, but finally came to a fact that he was very unwilling to admit, but had to admit.

In his mind, the originally powerful and invincible Candela Empire naval fleet, if facing the enemy’s new Flying Merchant Guild escort fleet head-on, I am afraid that it will have no power to fight back.

Every time he thinks of the descriptions of the pirates in the sealed files of the Naval Staff about the frigate of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, Russell feels that the description is extremely appropriate.

This fleet is almost like coming from another world, it has surpassed this era at all!

After turning his head and ordering his fleet to clean up the battlefield together with the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet, Russell signaled that the flagship under his seat and the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet flagship approached, then changed to a small boat and boarded the new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet flagship.

Although the two sides have cooperated for half a month in name, this is the first time that Russell has personally boarded the frigate of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

From the perspective of bystanders, I already felt that this frigate was extremely huge. After actually stepping on the deck of this frigate, Russell felt the huge difference between this frigate and the ships of the Candela Imperial Navy fleet.

The difference that made him feel profound is that stepping on the deck of this frigate will make you feel particularly at ease, as if stepping on a solid land, it is not like you can easily feel the waves on those wooden ships. The bumps brought.

The reason for this difference is of course that this frigate is made of steel almost all over the body, and its weight is far greater than that of a wooden sea ship, and of course it will appear more stable on the sea.

“Master Leslie, can you tell me what the total weight of this ship is?” Russell suddenly asked after a few greetings with Leslie who came up.

Leslie was startled, thought for a moment, and shook his head: “I don’t have any accurate data. However, the set displacement of this ship when it leaves the factory is about 1,000 tons, and its net weight should be more than 600 tons. ”

“Six hundred tons!” Russell took a deep breath, with a look of surprise on his face involuntarily.

The largest ship in the Candela Imperial Navy fleet is the Thunder-class battleship. According to manufacturing standards, the total weight of wood required is only less than 100 tons.

This weight is less than one-sixth of this frigate!

Although the density of wood is certainly not comparable to that of steel, the gap is still extremely exaggerated.

So don’t look at the size of the Thunder-class battleship that seems to be much smaller than that of the frigate, but even if you put aside the magical artillery on this frigate and other military magic machines with terrible offensive power, it’s just a frontal hard shake. I’m afraid the Thunder-class battleship. Can not withstand a light collision from the frigate.

In comparison… No, this is not qualified to compare at all!

Russell forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, silently looked down at the solid deck under his feet, then looked up at the high platform of the thick steel city in the middle of the deck, and a question flashed in his mind.

If just such a frigate consumes more than 600 tons of steel, then the new flying chamber of commerce frigate in front of him now has a total of 20 frigates.

Counting it down, it is a staggering more than 12,000 tons of steel.

Not to mention that the steel used to build these frigates is obviously completely different from ordinary pig iron. Not only does it have strong impact resistance, corrosion resistance and embroidery resistance, Russell can’t imagine how it was cast even if it was just over 12,000 tons of pig iron.

Although it can be seen that this frigate is made of steel plates connected together, how are these steel plates cast? How does the New Flying Business Association perfectly combine these steel plates so that they are so close as if they were originally a whole?

These questions Russell had been holding in his heart for half a month, and now when he asked Leslie, he hoped to get an answer that made him understand.

However, Leslie smiled and shook his head.

“Sorry, Lord Russell, these things are secrets of our Chamber of Commerce, I have nothing to comment. And even if I want to violate the rules of the Chamber of Commerce to tell you, I don’t know how to say it, because…I don’t understand at all.”

“Don’t understand?” Russell frowned slightly, his expression a little unhappy.

Leslie did not want to say that he could understand, after all, this might indeed involve the trade secrets of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

But he said he didn’t understand, which was joking!

He is the commander-in-chief of this new flying chamber of commerce escort fleet, how could he know nothing about this ship?

“I really don’t understand.” Seeing the displeasure in Russell’s heart, Leslie explained with a smile. “The construction of this ship involves a lot of very professional knowledge of magic machinery. I have never studied it. All I know is how to use the ship, not how to make it.”

Russell was silent for a moment, then nodded, acknowledging that Leslie made sense.

Not to mention that this frigate must be extremely technically astonishing. Even if it is a Thunder-class warship, he, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Naval Staff, is almost completely ignorant of its manufacture.

But when he asked Leslie about this, he didn’t expect to get the answer directly from him.

After pondering for a moment, Russell said to Leslie sternly: “Master Leslie, through this cooperation, I have a deep understanding of the outstanding capabilities of your new flying chamber of commerce frigates. I am very interested in these frigates, and I hope you can tell me Tell President Xu that our Candela Imperial Navy hopes to formally cooperate with your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. We have many places to discuss these frigates.”

Leslie smiled slightly: “Master Russell, if you are interested in these frigates, I think the president will be very happy to discuss with you. But about cooperation… I don’t think it is necessary to be so troublesome.”

“Oh? Lord Leslie, what do you think?” Russell was a little surprised.

“I can’t talk about it.” Leslie waved his hand, a sly smile on his face. “Since the Candela Empire Navy Fleet is interested in frigates, it’s very simple, just buy it directly from our Chamber of Commerce.”

“Buy it directly?” Russell was startled, his expression extremely surprised. “Could it be… your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is willing to sell these powerful frigates directly?”

“Of course, we are in a business meeting. Someone wants to buy our things, why can’t they sell it?” Leslie shrugged, his expression relaxed.

Russell looked up and down at Leslie with a weird look and confirmed that he was not joking. Then he took a breath and asked cautiously: “Then Mr. Leslie, your new flying business will set the price of this frigate… probably How much is it?”

“Not expensive, not expensive.” Leslie held out two fingers: “A ship of two million gold coins.”

Russell’s eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost sprayed out a mouthful of blood.

This damn new flying business association, dare to be more black-hearted?
