The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 1076 - 1073 The Sublimation of Rope Arts

“All my research achievements have been realized under the unparalleled and wise guidance of His Majesty the King. It was His Majesty the King who initially entrusted me to design ships, telling me that ships should move away from oars and sails and instead use propellers to move forward, which enabled me to design the Magic Power Ship…”

In his interview with “The Great Arcanist” as a cover figure, Inuit spent an entire page of content lauding Emperor Liszt’s help in the development of the Magic Power Ship.

He also named the propeller “Flame Propeller,” a blatant attempt to flatter.

The so-called propeller is a common screw propeller powered by a Magic Array, relying on the propeller to move water to generate power. Additionally, there are some technologies to reduce the propeller’s cavitation and reduce the ship’s drag.

Thus, the Magic Power Ship was born.

“The standard speed of the Magic Power Ship can reach 70 knots, which is several times faster than the current fastest Iron Dragon Warship at 20 knots. Theoretically, Magic Power Ships can indefinitely increase the speed of the propeller. 70 knots is just a speed that saves Magic Power consumption. If we don’t care about the consumption of Magic Power and the ship is strong enough, we can even reach 700 knots!”

Inuit boasted exuberantly about the Magic Power Ship.

In the Age of Transverse Sail, the fastest Court Fast Sailing Ship of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire could only reach a speed of 10 knots, just over 18 kilometers per hour. In the hybrid power sailing ship era, the fastest Iron Dragon Warship of the Flame Kingdom reached 20 knots, which is just over 37 kilometers per hour.

Now, the Magic Power Ship has reached a speed of 70 knots, allowing for navigation across the sea at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, this speed is not affected by the wind speed; even in strong headwind conditions, it can still travel over a hundred kilometers per hour.

In the concluding words of the interview with “The Great Arcanist”.

They described Inuit and his invention of the Magic Power Ship as follows: “With Chief Arcanist Inuit Truth’s invention of the Magic Power Ship, the curtain on the Great Age of Maritime Exploration slowly begins to rise. One can imagine that in the future, humans driving Magic Power Ships across the seas will be as comfortable as knights galloping across the continents on horses.”

There is a suspicion of excessive exaggeration.

In fact, with the activation of the Magic Teleportation Array, the importance of the great sea voyages seems not so crucial, as the communication between the Flame Kingdom and the Legendary Continent can basically be achieved without going through the traditional routes.

However, the invention of the Magic Power Ship still holds significant importance as it denotes an advancement in the exploitation of the sea.

For this purpose, Li Si Te personally returned from the Dragon Pit Great Mine and met with Inuit and his team of Arcanists from the ship laboratory at the Sun Moon Star Palace.

He amicably conversed with them, “Inuit, the Magic Power Ship has broken free from the limitations of wind sails, perhaps it can be made bigger, a single ship might carry a whole Knight Order or even a Dragon. Your next research direction could focus on this area, as I need to transport knights and dragons across the sea.”

“As you wish, Your Majesty, I will seriously consider how to enhance the Magic Power Ship.”

“Very good.”

Li Si Te was pleased, of course, he did not particularly need to use the Magic Power Ship to conquer the Legendary Continent as the efficiency coming from such a method wasn’t high. Establishing Magic Teleportation Arrays to conquer the Legendary Continent quickly was the true way to victory. But what he had in mind was another continent—Mafa Continent.

It was hard to find a natural node in the Magic Teleportation Array leading directly to Mafa Continent.

Thus, if he wanted to explore the Mafa Continent, he still needed to cross the Devil’s Sea. If it were just him, he could swim alongside Ach and the Mermaid. But if he intended to lead a huge army, then he must build some “Dragon Carrier Warships” capable of transporting dragons.

After all, not knowing the situation in Mafa Continent, he would have to approach it with a considerable force—no dragon could cross the territory alone.

…

The Magic Power Ship caused quite a stir within the Flame Kingdom, but it was just a few days of public enthusiasm. The Magic Teleportation Array between Jade City and Heroic Yellow City had long rendered the Flame Kingdom a land-based kingdom, and the great sea voyages were not a target for many nobles.

For the nobles of the Kingdom, why bother developing the sea when looting the Legendary Continent was the true path to domination!

After the heat died down, the Magic Power Ship was quickly forgotten.

To this, Li Si Te could only describe it with “Sparrows could never understand the aspirations of the phoenix.” Obviously, he didn’t need short-sighted nobles, knowing his own grand objectives.

He had already returned to the Dragon Pit Great Mine, continuing his training with Grey Iron Dragon Ornn.

However, soon, a flickering Thread of Destiny attracted his attention. Following this thread, he sensed the source that was stirring these Threads of Destiny—the Pea Great Elf Ash.

After a careful consideration, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Haha, great joy, Ash has successfully evolved!”

Two years after subduing Grey Iron Dragon Ornn, Ash quickly became fond of this dragon.

For a Greater Elf to evolve into a Dragon Elf, it generally takes a long time, some Greater Elves might even cherish a dragon for more than a decade. Not every Greater Elf can evolve as quickly as the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree Greater Elf. Thus, after waiting for more than two years, Ash finally completed her evolution.

He hurried back to the Sun Moon Star Palace.

Just as he entered the chamber of Ash, he saw a beautiful, majestic Dragon Elf, still unclothed, holding a piece of rope in her hands.

Seeing Li Si Te, the newly grown Pea Dragon Elf Ash showed a sweet smile, “Li Si Te, I’ve evolved, and I feel that my rope skills have also been elevated. Would you like to see?”
