On both sides of the Baishui River, there are crowds of people.

Tens of thousands of people gathered on the high ground on both sides of the river, staring at the movements on the river with curiosity, excitement and a hint of tension. Whether it is local residents, new immigrants who have just settled here, or passing here, it coincides with the dealings of this matter. No one is curious about what the magical creation is going to show today - it is said that it is a ship, a ship driven by magical power. Some people who know more about the Battle of the Rock Fortress still remember that the Rock Fortress was breached by two "magic warships", and the two magic warships are said to be just half-finished products...

There is no doubt that what is going to appear on the Baishui River today is definitely the largest creation that Cecil magic industry has shown to the people since its launch.

Next to the river bank, several merchants from the northern region were talking enthusiastically, with some people expressing their unconcealed expectations: "You said, how much cargo can the new ship pull at a time?"

Someone next to him immediately laughed: "Didn't you listen to the show? That's a warship..."

"You really have no vision!" The first merchant who spoke immediately retorted, "It's been so long, and I still don't understand the style of the lord? The technology on the warship must be used in the folk, and the Marquis Rebecca just said..."

"That's true. It is said that Cod from Carol has bought a magic truck..."

Behind the merchant, an old man who looked bent over and hunched couldn't help but shake his head: "I don't think there is anything special about that boat. The boat is nothing more than a large wooden basin floating on the water..."

A young man next to him suddenly laughed: "Dad Kaul, you said that the car was nothing more than a wooden board supported by a few wheels!!"

The old man who was ridiculed suddenly blew his beard and glared: "What do you know, little boy! I have never built a car, but I have built a ship for half my life! What kind of ship I have never seen?"

The young man looked at the old man who was blowing his beard and staring at him, and was about to say something, but suddenly a loud noise from the river interrupted everyone's conversation.

It was a loud, thick, full of momentum, and even the heart was tightly whistled.

A hazy shadow appeared on the eastern river surface, and a second whistle came out from the depths of the thin mist.

After a brief silence, the people on both sides of the eastern straits a shocking cheer and scream, and then the screams and cheers spread all the way here along the banks of the Baishui River.

The people next to the river bank widened their eyes. They didn't know what kind of creation it was, which would cause such a big reaction to people, but they quickly saw clearly - it was a giant made of steel.

It is larger than any inland wooden boat I have ever seen before, and more majestic than any warship. The giant beast made of steel has a hard texture and elegant arc. It rides the wind and waves on the Baishui River, but cannot see the sails and rowing slurry. The only thing on the entire ship that can make people think of "sais" is the "wing plates" on both sides of the hull, but the wing plates are composed of neat metal blades, lined with runes and magic patterns, which are obviously not the direct source of power to make the ship move forward. This sailless and oarless ship is driven by the power of some magic machinery. The brilliant sunlight shines on its metal shell and deck, which is amazing and full of courage.

The sharp-eyed man saw the strange two decks of the ship. The middle end of the ship was above the surroundings. On the top of this raised structure was an upper deck with many strange equipment. Between the upper and lower decks, the entire raised structure was covered by a layer of energy shields that emitted light. The soldiers in light armor stood neatly near the side of the ship. Behind the soldiers were the daunting turrets and shield generation towers...

It was not a ship at all, it was a fully armed steel fortress sailing on the water.

Next to the river bank, the merchants who had discussed enthusiastically before were stunned, and the young people who were laughing and fighting were speechless for a while. An old man who had built a ship for half his life and had seen any ship muttered to himself in shock: "I have never seen this kind of ship... this thing is really a ship?!"

In the bridge of the new magic warship "Trail Blazers", all the technicians who had participated in the engineering project and officials of the Government Affairs Department stood behind the wide viewing window, and watched the rolling waves of the Baishui River retreating on both sides of the ship with excitement. The surging magic power transmitted from the power ridge was injected into the lower layer of the ship, driving the three engine units in the mechanical cabin to continuously operate. The low and powerful roar was like the heartbeat of this giant beast. Everyone had to be amazed by the miracle of magic engineering.

At the front end of the bridge, Gao Wen held the railing behind the window with both hands and stared at the river in the distance. After a long time, he turned around and nodded to the Siren Miss beside him and said, "Your contribution is the greatest, and this ship is even beyond my imagination."

"I just provided some technical guidance. To be honest, the efforts of engineers and magic technicians are the key to the birth of this ship," Tyr said modestly, her tail tip swaying in the air. Obviously, the Siren Miss was in a very good mood at the moment. "Your magic skills are not mature, and many of them are weak, but fortunately... the difficulties have been overcome."

A high-level magic technician reported next to him: "We installed two large magic crystal rail guns at the bow and tail of this ship, which can be used to strike targets within 22 kilometers. Two iridescent generators are installed on both sides of the middle section, with an effective illumination distance of fifteen kilometers. After optimizing the power ridge structure, all turrets can fire at the same time without affecting the engine...

"In addition, in accordance with your order, we have set up an additional magical obelisk at the back of the bridge, which can provide magic net coverage for the surrounding ships to ensure that future fleet members can communicate with each other. At the same time, small ships with damaged energy systems can also charge around the ship...

"Ms. Tyre helped us solve the problems of navigation stability and center of gravity shift..."

Gao Wen listened carefully to the technician's report, and felt relieved, and sighed that it was indeed a correct decision to fool Tyre into the technical team with rainbow light technology.

Siren's technology is countless years ahead of humans. Even if it has declined now, even if some fields are incomplete, and even if the technical routes are not common, it still has a huge promotion and improvement effect on Cecil's shipbuilding technology. Many human technicians need to study a few months of technical difficulties, which is often not a problem in the eyes of Siren. Tyre was busy in the shipyard from last year to this year, and most of the time was not to solve the technical difficulties, but to find a way to integrate human existing technology with Siren's knowledge. As long as it is successfully connected, the problem will be solved.

"At present, the live broadcast of the launch of the Trail Blazer has been broadcast throughout the country, and the synchronized newspapers will be published tomorrow," said Hetty, who was on the side. "According to your plan, the ship will continue to sail westward. First, it will be docked at the port of Tanzan for half a day, perform mechanical inspections, then turn northwest, pass through the Hosman border, Luan area and Carol area, and finally stay at the Rock Fortress for three days, conduct a thorough inspection and test before turning back."

"Very good," Gao Wen nodded slightly and looked at the middle-aged knight standing next to the captain's seat not far away. "Byron, thank you for your hard work these days."

Byron, who has become the temporary captain of the "Trail Blazers", smiled brightly and responded loudly: "Don't worry, you will definitely not disappoint you!"

Standing not far away, Philip, with a bad face, couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm excited, I'm not graceful."

Byron heard the old partner's mutter and glanced at Philip: "You are sour, who made you not have the talent to be a captain..."

Philip straightened his body and looked at it with a stern look: "As a knight, I am more interested in charging into the solid ground."

Byron shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't he just vomit as soon as he got on the boat? What's wrong with admitting... his face is as white as paper now."

Gao Wen noticed the conversation between the two, but he just smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

Philip, who has always been young, promising, down-to-earth and steady, was actually a little seasick. This was something he had never expected before, but correspondingly, Byron was very adapted to his new role, which is a good phenomenon.

People cannot always be trapped in land, especially Cecil's army. With the continuous development of new shipbuilding technology, Gao Wen must make up for the shortcomings of "surface power" that are common among all human countries. Long before the Pioneer Blazers were built, he had made plans to build a navy. Of course, for the current Principality of Cecil, the so-called navy is more appropriate to describe it as an inland waters, but this is at least a foundation - and the initial sailors could only be formed from scratch.

He still remembers the so-called "fleet" formed by the noble coalition last year. He remembers those mobs who were wearing armor, unable to swim, and did not know how to fight water. Most of the mobs were wiped out by artillery fire on the ship. In this era when cavalry was king, the ocean was blocked by natural disasters, and surface combat was not valued, even if he received the inheritance of the aristocratic people in the entire southern border, he could not find a few people with background to train as sailors. Therefore, he could only recruit a group of "talents" from the fishermen and cargo ships in the west. After training with sampans, fishing boats, and cargo ships for more than half a year, it was only after a group of soldiers who could barely serve on the ship. A large part of these soldiers were standing on this new magic warship at this moment.

Byron is the captain of this ship and the commander of the sailors. In the past six months, in addition to continuing to be responsible for some of the military affairs, he is also responsible for the training of the freshmen.

This middle-aged knight is not an expert in water warfare, but there are no expert in water warfare in the southern border during this period. At least, Byron also commanded half-finished magic warships, used magic warships to attack the Rock Fortress, and also had rich experience in facing various combat environments during his mercenary period. He was the only candidate that Gao Wen could find.

After all, it cannot be achieved in one step, and this is the case in most areas of construction from scratch.

Under the command of the Byron Knight, the freshman Cecil "Sailor" will complete their final training on this ship. These sailors trained with sampans and fishing boats will contact the real magic warship for the first time. They are no longer models and theoretical materials, but real steel machinery and control mechanisms. They will learn how to control a ship driven by magical machinery and learn how to deal with various problems on the water. This ship will sail along the Baishui River during this half-month training. Its navigation will be watched by countless leaders beside the river bank, published by newspapers, and broadcast live by Magic Network. This is not only a training, but also a display and deterrence.

Although the order in the southern border has been initially stable, it is not completely peaceful. Some of the remnants of the old nobles and the remnants of the church army are still entrenched in the mountainous areas in the west and north, among the wild forests. These incompetents who have become bandits are now engaged in robbers. The Knights of Philip have been organizing the removal of these bandits, but they have not been completely wiped out yet.

Gao Wen knew that the most stubborn and naive remnants were still fantasizing about the sudden collapse of Cecil's rule and the restoration of the old system, while some had adapted to the life of robbers and enjoyed the lawless days - the new magic warship, which was for them to see.
