Chapter 266: Separate actions to improve efficiency, breakthrough in weapon refining is too timely
After leaving Lingshan Port, more than a hundred large treasure ships were divided into six.
These scattered squadrons were led by Wan'er, Xiao Shitou, Liang Liping, He Lijing, He Liping and Wei Ying respectively.
Each squadron will go to different landing sites that have been discovered by MI2 and carry out their own missions.
The navy of the Restoration Army now has a total of six top-grade treasure ships, seventeen high-grade treasure ships, and the rest are all medium-grade treasure ships.
The six fleets that acted separately each had a top-grade treasure ship as their flagship, and the entire fleet was fully equipped with magic weapons, cannons, and spirit crossbow carts.
Even every mid-grade treasure ship is equipped with a large number of second-grade top-grade magic cannons and second-grade top-grade spirit crossbow carts.
This situation is not encountered by any other force in the world today.
This was because all previous psychic cannons were too large and had too much recoil. Given the material and size of a mid-range treasure ship, it simply could not withstand the recoil after firing, and the hull would easily break apart if not handled with care.
Therefore, before the magical cannon refined by Li Dingguo appeared in the world, all the mid-grade treasure ships in the world were only equipped with some spiritual crossbow carts, but there were no spiritual cannons.
It’s different though as Li Dingguo uses his own divine weapon, the Human Emperor Cauldron, to transform and upgrade the psychic cannon.
The psychic cannons equipped on these mid-grade treasure ships driven by the soldiers of the Renaissance Army today adopt the barrel recoil design of the French Miss 75 from Li Dingguo's previous life, with an additional movable spring on the recoil base of the gun body and a rotating turret design. The recoil force after firing will be effectively offset, with little impact on the hull.
In addition, these mid-grade treasure ships are equipped with smaller psychic cannons, which are only second-grade top-grade magical weapons. They are more than half the size of the third-grade top-grade psychic cannons equipped on the upper-grade and top-grade treasure ships.
The size and power of these second-level top-grade magic weapon cannons are the same as the psychic cannons used by the army artillery battalion, which are the same as those used by the Restoration Army's marine artillery battalion on the grassland outside the Great Wall.
Therefore, this type of psychic cannon can be used both at sea and on land, and can be well suited for equipping a second-level treasure ship.
Now that the navy of the Lingshan Island Restoration Army has divided its huge fleet into six, the combat effectiveness of each fleet at sea is still strong.
Although the scale of each squadron is not large, its combat effectiveness can be compared with the previous attacking Nahaojing Governor's Mansion or the Ye family's large fleet.
Among them was a large fleet that did not head towards the land, but instead headed towards the surrounding waters of Lingshan Island.
The mission of this unique fleet is not to gather refugees, but to occupy all the islands in the thousands of miles of sea area centered on Lingshan Island and eliminate all dangers.
There was a large golden eagle, staying beside the commander of this large fleet.
This commander was Wan'er.
Not only her, in two days, Li Dingguo will also ride on the Dajin to meet Wan'er and try to increase the strength of this squadron that is going to carry out special missions.
Li Dingguo didn't come now, mainly because when he was refining weapons yesterday, his level as a junior weapon refiner was upgraded again, and he became a junior weapon refiner at the grandmaster level.
This is what it means to be practiced and perfect, and everything will come naturally.
Over the past few months, Li Dingguo has refined a large number of various magical instruments, the number of which is unimaginable to outsiders.
This also made his weapon refining skills advance by leaps and bounds.
Although the process of refining the weapon was mainly performed automatically by his innate divine weapon, the Human Emperor Cauldron, but after each successful refining of a magic weapon, Li Dingguo would be able to obtain the corresponding refining experience and inheritance, which was equivalent to refining these magic weapons by himself.
After breaking through to the grandmaster level in elementary weapon refining techniques, Li Dingguo was able to use the Human Emperor Cauldron to refine the third-grade ultimate magical weapon that he most wanted to refine: the Five Elements Formation Plate.
As long as we can refine the five elements primary array plates corresponding to different five elements primary magic arrays, setting up the array will be much easier in the future.
After having the five elements array disk, you can bury a corresponding five elements array disk at the ground node where the array eye is located in the place where various five elements primary magic arrays are needed. Put enough magic cores, monster inner cores, soul beads, spirit stones and other spiritual energy crystals into the array center energy groove on the array disk, and then directly activate the array disk.
This will be great news for Li Dingguo and the Fuxing Army.
Even when the army is marching far away to fight, when the soldiers are camping on the march, they can bury a corresponding five-element formation plate that meets the needs of the army at any time and place. After activating it, they can cover the camp where the army is stationed with the corresponding five-element formation.
In this way, there is no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy, thus making the enemy's sneak attack plan fail.
For the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who have officially begun a large-scale expansion and established a large number of new bases on the islands around Lingshan Island, they can also use formation plates corresponding to various five-element formations to protect the entire island with formations and provide security for the soldiers and civilians stationed in the new bases.
Li Dingguo did not travel with Wan'er this time because he wanted to refine more than a dozen five-element formation plates corresponding to the "Small Five Elements Sky-covering Formation" for field testing.
Once the test is successful, we will be able to collect various suitable spiritual materials and refine various types of five-element arrays, providing strong assistance and protection for the rapid expansion of the Renaissance Army in this sea area.
Li Dingguo has discovered that there seem to be signs of a sea beast outbreak on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. If these newly established island bases are not protected by formations, the consequences will be disastrous.
He is only one person, and it is impossible for him to be a full-time array master, running around all day to arrange various arrays. That is not his job. He is the commander-in-chief of the Renaissance Army and the only core leader of the Renaissance Army.
"General Wan'er, should we disperse the fleet's treasure ships to improve our search efficiency?"
"This way, we can increase the efficiency of our operation by at least several times and complete this round of action plan as soon as possible."
Fleet adjutant Peng Jianhong, who was standing by, immediately gave Wan'er a suggestion after all the other squadrons had left and disappeared.
"no!"
"At least not now!"
Upon hearing this, Wan'er waved her hand and said, "Our first task now is to quickly survey all the sea areas within a radius of ten thousand miles, and then formulate a corresponding action plan. Then it is time to arrange specific actions."
"My eldest brother said that in this big world, the seas and oceans are mysterious and unpredictable. Who knows what dangers there may be?"
"If we are careless, it will easily lead to irreparable losses. We must remain cautious to avoid causing unnecessary heavy casualties among our soldiers."
"We have plenty of time now, why are we in such a hurry?"
"Peng Jianhong, you must remember from now on that when the army goes out to fight, the safety of the soldiers is the most important thing. This is also the core principle of our Renaissance Army and the secret of our Renaissance Army's continued victory in every battle."
"I don't want the soldiers I lead to become the first record-breaker in the history of the Restoration Army to suffer a defeat. That would be very embarrassing."
Wan'er has now completely grown up. She is no longer a careless person and can be considered a qualified general.
"Oh, General Wan'er, I've got it in mind. It's not good to be too eager for quick success."
Although Peng Jianhong is two years older than Wan'er and is also a genius who stood out in this round of warrior selection, she was the daughter of an ordinary craftsman and had little experience and limited vision.
Therefore, not only has she not yet become a qualified general, but she is actually a new recruit.
However, she has good aptitude and talent. She has now reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm and has cultivated all the skills she has chosen to practice to the great perfection level, including various basic military formations.
This is also the reason why Wan'er promoted her to be one of her deputy generals and trained her vigorously.
After all, in the world of cultivators, the level of cultivation is the most important factor in measuring personal ability.
Once a cultivator breaks through to the Qi Refining Realm and his mental strength is sublimated into Divine Consciousness, his comprehension will greatly increase and his learning ability will far exceed that of any warrior in the Body Refining Realm. It will be easy for him to become a qualified general through hard study and various practices.
Wan'er already had a plan in mind for completing this round of tasks. She was not in a hurry to start occupying and clearing the islands immediately, but wanted to investigate the specific conditions of the sea area within a radius of thousands of miles before doing anything else.
At that time, we will start with the difficult ones and then move on to the easy ones, and then start a massive round of actions, and we will complete this task faster and faster.
After Li Dingguo arrived and reunited with Wan'er two days later, the operation efficiency became even faster.
Because the two golden eagles are the executors of surveying the specific conditions of each island.
With their sharp vision and flying speed, they are better than millions of soldiers in surveying the terrain and enemy's whereabouts.
If the soldiers of the Restoration Army were to rely solely on investigating the specific conditions of these large and small islands, it would be impossible to complete the task even if it took more than ten years.
Although Lingshan Island is the largest island in the Jiaozhou Bay area, in this world, there are many medium-sized islands with a radius of about 100 miles in the vast sea area centered on Lingshan Island.
Especially in the Andongwei waters along the 9,000-mile coastline in the south, there are two large islands that are not much smaller than Lingshan Island: Zhushan Island and Yadao.
There are so many islands, large and small, totaling no less than a thousand. After the soldiers landed on the islands, it was basically impossible for them to thoroughly explore the topography and specific conditions by walking.
Not to mention the soldiers of the Restoration Army in this squadron, even with a million troops, it would be difficult to achieve this within ten to eight years.
Unless a human master in the realm of spiritual refinement comes forward, who is able to fly at low altitude and rely on his powerful spiritual power and a thousand-mile vision, he can complete this task quickly.
But in today's world, masters of the Spirit Refining Realm have long been a legend and have not been heard of for more than a thousand years.
Following Wan'er's order, the squadron formed a battle formation and began to gradually speed up.
Wan'er and her fleet were preparing to circle around Lingshan Island from the inside to the outside, gradually expanding the range of the cruise.
The fleet's speed increased, and soon it drew a graceful arc and disappeared on the distant sea level...
