Normally speaking, building a ship with wood was the right thing to do because wood had excellent performance. However, wood wasn't a good material to build a super ship that was hundreds of meters long. The keel made of wood couldn't bear the weight of a warship that was hundreds of meters long, as well as the impact caused by the bumpy ride.
But that was only on Earth.
Li Ke's magic had endowed the ship with unimaginable vitality and magic. It was a living battleship in every sense of the word. Not only could it absorb water from the sea to produce salt and fresh water, but it could also absorb water and the vitality of parasitic organisms, seaweed, and other creatures attached to it to repair itself. There was no need to regularly clean the barnacles and maggots at the bottom of the ship. The keel of the ship was a kind of dream-like wood that Li Ke used a lot of vitality to create. It was also the real core of the ship.
Magic was so amazing. Things that even modern technology would have a headache over could be made simple with the addition of magic. Wood could replace steel, and sails could replace boilers.
Not only that, as long as Sarah carried Li Ke's breath and power on the battleship, then the battleship could be transformed and modified according to her will. Moreover, it could also grow countless branches from the bottom of the ship to help the ship move and turn. Coupled with the several power cores that would be installed in the future, there was basically no need to worry about any ship in the world that could catch up to her at sea.
But these beautiful things were still a dream for the time being because the ship only had the keel. But under Li Ke's control, this beautiful dream was slowly becoming a reality. Countless decks began to grow on the keel wrapped in countless flowers and leaves, and it was transforming according to the appearance of the aircraft carrier in Li Ke's memory. First, there were layers of floors, followed by the wide platform. And what attracted the attention of the scholars the most were the 'thin and long' wooden barrels that grew out of nowhere.
Some of them were worried that the barrels that Li Ke manipulated would not be useful. But if Li Ke knew about it, he would laugh out loud because the wood was a kind of material that was far harder and tougher than steel. It would not burn even if it was thrown into magma for a day. In ancient times, it was often used as a launching tube for magic bombs. With the current technological standards of Pi City, these wooden cannons were sufficient. Moreover, it was better than a steel cannon barrel in that it did not require anyone to repair it. As long as it was still on the ship, it could repair itself. All it needed was someone to clean up the gunpowder residue inside.
As for the drawback, it still had to consume four hundred times more life force than other types of wood.
Such consumption was naturally enormous. Whether it was the growth of wood that could replace steel or the creation of dragon bones, all of these required a huge amount of vitality. The price was almost all the life force Li Ke had extracted during this period of time. Furthermore, the lives of all the fishes and shrimps in the vicinity of the harbor had been sacrificed.
But even so, when Li Ke's hair grew on the last piece of deck and the last railing closed, his hair turned completely white and his cheeks were full of wrinkles. The incomparably robust warrior had turned into a skinny old man in an instant. Khal Dukao witnessed everything with a pair of binoculars and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Let me see the true face of your strength."
Even though he was also paying attention to the white-haired woman dressed like a stripper, after all, Noxus had its own plans to create a god. However, he was more concerned about Li Ke's situation because the God of Noxus that he wanted was his Emperor, the man who had given him everything. Li Ke was an indispensable part of this plan.
Therefore, even though the next scene was the most spectacular one he had ever seen in his life, his attention was still locked onto Li Ke.
"I will bless you! Protect you! Let your dreams and hopes come true! "
The time had come. Even though this wasn't the time that Jana wanted to see, it was Li Ke's sudden decision due to the huge order. However, Jana still followed Li Ke's plan. She raised her staff high and channeled her divine power.
A warm wind appeared once again. This time, the wind carried a magical power. Everyone who was blown by the wind was surprised to find that their mental state had improved. Those who were injured also found that their symptoms had been alleviated. What surprised them the most was the changes that happened to their city after the wind blew past. The green and gray smoke and haze became lighter and lighter under the wind until they disappeared. The muddy pits that were filled with all kinds of highly toxic substances, as well as the highly toxic soil that was so polluted that even the most basic life forms couldn't survive, were all washed away by the flashing drizzle and slowly restored to their normal state.
The muddy pits turned back into clear water. Even the stinking sewers were now filled with the fragrance of soil after the rain. It was unknown where the thick dust had been washed away, but it had completely disappeared from the city. Not a single trace of the poisonous haze that could be seen everywhere could be seen now. Moreover, the poisonous soil and pond water were now showing signs of plants.
"This is …"
There was no doubt that this was a miracle.
"Noxus needs this kind of power."
Tamara looked longingly at the Goddess of Storms who was raising her staff and calling for wind and rain to clean up the city. In her memories, Noxus was just like Zu An. They were gloomy and oppressive, covered in dark clouds all day long. She wanted Noxus's Never-Resting Fortress to be able to see such bright sunlight and magical wind and rain. That way, the people of Noxus would be more united and powerful. The young Noxus people couldn't help but murmur.
"We should also create our own gods."
"We have to get this power in our hands!"
The old Noxus people whispered to Duco. The power displayed by the Goddess of Storms made him drool. He could almost imagine how energetic and unstoppable Noxus would be when the Goddess of Storms supported them on the battlefield. Because even his body felt comfortable and healed amidst the warm wind and rain. Moreover, it filled his aged spirit with the vigor of youth!
Khal Dukao looked at the Goddess who was summoning the wind and rain, then at Li Ke who had regained her youth under the protection of the Goddess' power. Khal Dukao nodded slightly.
"Yes, you're right. We do need this kind of power."
