[One more to go.]
In essence, a Magician could cast spells in a place without any elements. They would only consume the magic strings in their body, and the power of the spells would be greatly reduced. However, if they used the Magic Net to cast spells, they would be useless once they left the Magic Net.
Salin went around the metal towers and arrived at the rear deck. More than a hundred pieces of flying equipment were parked there. They were different from the ones scattered on the front deck. On both sides of the long and narrow metal bodies were triangular wings. They were extremely thick and heavy, and they couldn't be flapped at all.
It looked like the flying state of a mechanical undead. It was definitely fast, but the way it flew was much worse than a Magician's.
However, it was huge, and it could carry more equipment than the ones at the front. These were obviously equipment used for aerial combat, while the flying equipment on the deck in front was used for scouting the enemy.
Salin walked in a straight line and then went around the side of the ship to observe. The side of the ancient battleship was like a city wall. It was about forty meters above the water. At such a height, it would be impossible for an ordinary battleship to reach the deck. They could only rely on the Magicians who could fly to attack.
It was because of the strange structure of the ancient battleship that Yun Liu didn't expect the Dragonskeleton Battleship to crash into them. The Dragonskeleton Battleship flew more than forty meters above the water. To Yun Liu and the others, it was a miracle.
The Dragonskeleton Battleship was less than two hundred meters in length. It had a strange shape, but the side of the ship was only ten meters above the water. Yun Liu and the others were scared out of their wits by the jump.
The edge of the ancient battleship was covered in metal armor that was half a meter thick. This metal armor was actually made up of more than a hundred layers of compressed metal mixed with magic materials. Its weight was less than a tenth of that of metal. Otherwise, the battleship wouldn't be able to float no matter how many cabins there were.
The metal armor was embedded into the hull of the ship, layer upon layer. Even if it was destroyed, it could be replaced. The forty-meter side of the ship would definitely be attacked in countless ways. Without this layer of armor, even the sturdiest battleship would have holes in it.
Yun Liu and the others didn't touch the armor. They didn't have a better way to replace the defensive equipment.
Salin looked at the inside of the ship. There was a platform about three meters wide. Apart from magic cannons, there were also metal crossbows. Salin didn't find anything new about these designs. Some combat methods wouldn't change even after tens of thousands of years.
Every sixty meters or so, there would be a relatively wide opening. Salin saw that the openings were like small city gates that could pop up to jump onto enemy battleships.
As Salin walked on the ancient battleship, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. The design of the Magic Net was different from his own. The humans of the First Dynasty were so powerful, so why did they design this?
What Salin didn't know was that the humans of the Main Plane were strong, but the creatures of many other planes were naturally weak. Level-Nine was already the limit, and they couldn't advance any further. Humans were using creatures from other planes to fight, so of course they had to design equipment that could increase the combat power of these creatures.
Even some of the magic equipment today were originally designed by humans for other living beings.
These designs were passed down, and even after the decline of human power, humans still dominated the Myers Continent's plane. The creatures that remained in this plane didn't take the initiative to occupy the initiative, and finally, those creatures were completely eliminated.
However, the 3rd Dynasty also collapsed because of this. The establishment of the 4th Dynasty was the last glory of the humans.
In fact, the metal magic towers were originally prepared for Gnomes. Gnomes were only one-third as tall as humans. They couldn't cultivate magic strings, but they were born with powerful mental power. Every metal tower could accommodate 24 Gnomes, which was equivalent to 24 High Mages.
The magic net on the ancient battleship could turn 3,456 Gnomes into 9th Rank soldiers, which could release tens of thousands of 9th Rank spells.
Even Level Ten experts like Faka and Joey would be blasted into powder if they were here.
The Ancient Desolate Battleship was only a frigate, the true main battleship was several dozen kilometers long and had a huge Magic Net System. Gnomes, Elves, Ghosts, Demons, as long as they boarded the battleship, they could be quickly nurtured into High Mages. In ancient times, High Mages were definitely qualified soldiers.
Salin walked around and didn't find any flaws in the defense of the ancient battleship. However, the power of the battleship controlled by the mechanical undead wasn't even a tenth of the ancient battleship's power. It might only be 1%.
The weapons created by the mechanical undead had low attack power and short range. They also consumed a lot of magic cores, and they had to be at least 9th Rank. Although Salin still had thousands of 9th Rank Magic Cores, he couldn't keep up with the consumption. He had to find the graveyard of the Horned White Whale to solve the energy problem of the ancient battleship.
Fortunately, the Mana Furnace didn't need high-grade magic cores. Any magic core, mana crystal, or even some fragments of low-grade magic cores could be thrown in to refine elemental flames, allowing the Mana Furnace to operate smoothly.
Salin was very conflicted. If he activated all the Mana Furnaces, the ancient battleship wouldn't consume too much energy, and it could even turn many apprentices into High Mages.
With the magic net activated, the ancient battleship would be invincible. But what kind of people could enter the magic net? His own people? Salin definitely wouldn't allow that to happen. Creatures from other planes? Only Demons were qualified. He just didn't know if the Demons would obey him.
"Magic Tooth, how many Mana Furnaces does this ancient battleship have?"
"241. Among them, 24 Mana Furnaces provide energy for the magic net. The core Mana Furnace operates on its own. The remaining 216 Mana Furnaces are distributed across the 18 floors of the ancient battleship. Many of the defensive and offensive equipment are powered by the Mana Furnaces, "the mechanical undead answered seriously. The mechanical undead replied seriously. Now, it was clear that Salin would never allow it to have any temper tantrums. Appearing respectful and submissive would not do it any harm.
"I understand. Copy the blueprints of the Mana Furnace for me. If you can't do it, tell me now."
"Master, I definitely can't do it. The blueprints of the Mana Furnace are too complicated. They are all three-dimensional magic patterns, and the most detailed parts are the size of individual elements. Unless I advance to 14th Rank, otherwise … "
"Understood." Salin wasn't disappointed. If he could create the Mana Furnace, the Cloud Flow Tribe would be able to unify the entire plane.
Now, these Mana Furnaces would be scrapped once they left the ancient battleship. He couldn't even disassemble them. Salin thought to himself, If only the Mana Furnace was the same as the core of the Sky Castles. What a pity!
He could only dream about it. The Sky Castles were the pinnacle of human magic. After all the Sky Castles were destroyed, no mage could design such exquisite and powerful alchemy machinery. As for the Mana Furnaces, they could still be built in large quantities at the end of the Second Dynasty. They only disappeared in the Myers Continent during the establishment of the Fourth Dynasty.
After returning to the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, Salin didn't say a word. The mechanical undead clones followed him, waiting for his questions. Salin was calculating whether it would be better to disassemble the ancient battleship or maintain it like this.
After thinking for a long time, Salin decided to keep the ancient battleship in its current state. Anyway, the mechanical undead had already devoured it. After disassembling it, Salin would only obtain a pile of materials. He wouldn't be able to research much.
More importantly, there was more than one ancient battleship. There was another one on Dragon Island. If he captured this battleship, the Iron Blood Grand Duke would definitely use the other one. Next time, he wouldn't have such a good opportunity to get the Dragon Skeleton Battleship onto the deck of the ancient battleship.
If he disassembled the ancient battleship and made the armor into shields, it would be enough to arm all of Salin's main army. There was also the special metal used to build the battleship. The value of each piece was higher than any known magic metal.
Magic Net, oh Magic Net. When he found the graveyard of the Horned White Whale, he would have enough magic cores to fully operate the ancient battleship. Magic Net … Let the demons enter. The mental power of demons was strong enough. A demon that became a Magic Shooter would be much stronger than a demon that was equivalent to a high-level Swordsman.
Three days passed. A mysterious ocean current suddenly appeared, flowing from the south to the north. The Winged Skeleton immediately commanded the fleet to leave the nameless island and head north.
The Dragon Skeleton Battleship carefully followed the ocean current. There was an unknown substance in the ocean current. Wherever the ocean current passed, the microscopic creatures that devoured everything in the red sea would automatically avoid it, forming a safe zone that was a dozen miles wide.
It sounded like a dozen miles was very wide for a battleship, but the speed of the battleship was eighty miles. If it deviated even a little, the battleship would rush into the red sea and be disintegrated by the microscopic creatures.
This was especially true for the ancient battleship, which was more than a mile long. A slight deviation would destroy this precious battleship.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was at the back of the fleet. It released its Bone Spirit to monitor the rear. The Dragon Skeleton Battleship in front did not dare to deviate at all. It carefully followed the ocean current and advanced.
After traveling for a thousand miles, there was no one following them. The Winged Skeleton was worried about the safety of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, so it quickly caught up to the fleet. This ocean current lasted for about a week. The fleet's speed was eighty miles, so they could travel almost two thousand miles in a day. They could safely follow the ocean current to the safety of the sea. However, the magic compass in this area was no longer effective, so the Winged Skeleton did not dare to be careless.
After traveling carefully for two days, they finally passed through the red sea. Salin also let out a sigh of relief. Another ten thousand miles to the north was the periphery of the Frozen Sea. To the north of the red sea, there were pitifully few dangerous demonic beasts.
All the battleships checked their equipment. The Winged Skeleton also summoned new undead creatures to replenish each battleship. Reaching the periphery of the Frozen Sea was just the beginning. This time, Salin's target was not the red krill. The upcoming battle would be very difficult.
