159: Advanced Energy Core
A vessel similar to the sea calming is, after all, a giant ship stretching three hundred and ten meters.
If such a ship were packed with people, without considering their comfort, it could transport a hundred thousand people at once without issue.
Ten ships would mean one million people at a time.
The Desert of Death is only three hundred kilometers wide, and the sea area Arthur sailed to transport the orcs from Doreen Peninsula to the Continent of Gods is roughly this distance.
With the blessing of magic, the sea calming’s fastest sailing speed can reach two hundred kilometers per hour, and it's even quite stable.
One round trip only takes three hours, and even if boarding and disembarking take an hour, one trip is only four hours, allowing for at least three trips a day.
This means ten giant ships similar to the sea calming could transport three million orcs to the Continent of Gods in a single day.
With the orcs' population of over twenty million, all of them could be transported within ten days, a speed Arthur could accept.
As for how those orcs would live after being sent to the Continent of Gods, that would be their own business!
...As Arthur waited by the dock for late night to arrive!
He suddenly remembered that his random draw chances in the Portable Shop had accumulated to three, and it was time to try his luck!
After so many draws, Arthur also understood that the outcome of the draw had nothing to do with whether he washed up or prayed to gods and Buddhas.
Arthur was too lazy to bother with those superficial things anymore and simply clicked the random draw button three times in a row.
The red lottery box shook wildly, and a few seconds later, three items were thrown out, becoming Arthur's new goods.
Arthur glanced over them, immediately ruling out the item on the far left.
Because the pattern on that item only showed an ordinary sea fish, which Arthur had seen in the sea before.
Of course, being cautious, he still clicked on the pattern to check the shop's description, just in case there was some treasure hidden in the fish's belly!
"An ordinary sea fish, capable of satisfying hunger!
Price: One silver coin!"
Alright, only at this moment did Arthur truly give up, then he turned his gaze to the other two items.
The second item looked much better; from the surface, it appeared to be a rhomboid crystal.
It was somewhat similar to a high-grade magic crystal, but this crystal contained complex magic arrays.
It didn't look simple!
He opened it to take a look.
"high-grade energy core, transformed from a high-grade magic crystal by a mysterious mage. The energy it contains is ten times that of a high-grade magic crystal.
It can autonomously absorb natural energy from the air after energy consumption. If the energy is completely depleted, it takes three days to fully replenish it!
Can be used as an energy source for various Advanced magic tools and magic arrays!
Price: Five hundred thousand gold coins!"
Damn it! Isn't this a weakened version of a Dragon Crystal!
Not only is its energy storage quite good, but it can also autonomously absorb natural energy to recover.
Of course, the gap between it and a Dragon Crystal is still quite large.
For example, a magic crystal cannon, if using an ordinary high-grade magic crystal as energy, can only fire three shells.
Using the newly drawn high-grade energy core, it can fire thirty shells.
But a Dragon Crystal is different; the energy consumed by a magic crystal cannon might not even keep up with its own recovery speed.
At least for a magic crystal cannon, a Dragon Crystal is almost equivalent to eternal energy.
From this, it can be seen that the difference between the two is still quite significant.
However, for Arthur, the high-grade energy core was already a pleasant surprise, and it also solved his urgent problem.
After all, the six magic crystal cannons on the sea calming require high-grade magic crystals as energy.
Although Arthur doesn't lack high-grade magic crystals, he still needs money to buy them in the Portable Shop!
One costs one hundred thousand gold coins, and one high-grade magic crystal is only enough for a magic crystal cannon to fire three shots.
At a rate of one shot every five seconds for the magic crystal cannon, the energy of one high-grade magic crystal would be depleted in fifteen seconds, which is equivalent to firing off one hundred thousand gold coins.
This is still for Arthur; an ordinary person would need at least one million gold coins to purchase one high-grade magic crystal.
From this perspective, magic crystal cannons are not something ordinary people can afford.
Even Arthur feels quite pained when using them.
Moreover, one high-grade magic crystal can only fire three shots. In a real battle, frequent replacement of magic crystals is required, which greatly affects combat efficiency.
But now, with the high-grade energy core, things are different.
The high-grade energy core not only contains ten times the energy of a high-grade magic crystal, allowing the magic crystal cannon to bombard for a long time.
Furthermore, the energy within it can automatically recover and be recycled, which will greatly save Arthur gold coins!
So, after seeing the high-grade energy core item, Arthur's smile widened.
With a joyful mood, Arthur turned his gaze to the last item's image.
The image actually showed a man steering a ship.
This made Arthur guess, could this person be a talent in the navy?
Now that Arthur had a navy, he naturally intended to replicate such a talent to help him firmly control the fleet.
However, since the replication opportunities had been used up, Arthur had originally planned to replicate naval talent next month.
But it seems it's no longer necessary.
With this thought, Arthur clicked on the item's description.
"A battle-hardened naval general who once led his warships to defeat three times their number of similar warships, possessing the strength of an Advanced Earth Knight!
Price: One million gold coins!"
Looking at the item's description, Arthur could only sigh, the Portable Shop is truly powerful, knowing he wanted to build a navy, it sent him such a talent.
In fact, for a ship like Arthur's sea calming, the captain should originally be an Earth Knight.
In the Empire's normal structure, the sea calming should also have other smaller ships under its command to cooperate with it.
Someone like temporary captain Eric, whose strength is only that of a Gold Knight, is not sufficient to be the captain of the sea calming.
Of course, this is not surprising, after all, Eric was just a complimentary gift from the Dawn Merchant Guild for delivering the ship, so he couldn't be too good.
Speaking of which, Arthur also heard that warships like the sea calming are not the most powerful in the Empire; above them, there is a flagship with a hull length of one thousand meters.
It can not only withstand attacks from Legendary Experts but also unleash magic similar to Forbidden Curses and even fly, making it a true war fortress.
Such a giant ship is also a Sharp Weapon for protecting the nation in the Empire and is not sold externally.
After all, in terms of power, one flagship is equivalent to a Legendary Expert.
And Legendary Experts are already the pillars of many kingdoms.
The Empire, however, can artificially construct such powerful ships.
From this, it can be seen that the Empire's foundation is not something ordinary kingdoms can touch.
This also makes ordinary people yearn for the Empire's flagship technology.
Only Arthur, who can summon Legendary Experts, can remain calm when facing such a flagship!
