Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Chapter 70: Upgrading (more data)
Reel in the fisherman's reel.

Su Wang walked out of the shipyard and headed towards another facility manufacturing plant, while pondering in his heart.

"It seems that as long as you choose to accept the mission, you can get a guidance effect similar to the dock pointer."

"But some fishermen are more than 1 nautical miles away. I really don't know how big the world is."

According to the voyage information revealed by some fishermen,
Su Wang estimated that even if some fishermen really wanted to come to Fool's Wharf, it would take two or three days or even a week.

The closest person is probably Lao Cao, who I met the day before yesterday.

It was definitely impossible to count on the fishermen to help during the first red tide, but Su Wang had no such plan.

Entering the facility manufacturing plant,
What caught my eye was a layout that was almost the same as that of a shipyard, and it also had a [Fish Decomposer].

It is enough to open the shipyard.
Su Wang did not choose to open another one, but instead checked the ship facilities that could be made.

After all, there are still four ship-borne cannon slots on the Wangxin that have not been equipped.

First, take a quick look to see what facilities can be manufactured at each manufacturing station.

[Fishing Net Cannon Crafting Platform], [Transport Ship Armor Crafting Platform], [Universal Shipborne Cannon Crafting Platform], [Sonar Radar Crafting Platform].

Su Wang first carefully inspected the two nearest production stations.
One is a net gun facility that can be used to launch large-scale recoverable fishing nets underwater, and the other is an external armor facility that increases the defensiveness of the hull.

It seems to be specially designed for [Fishing Boats] and [Transport Ships].
But what surprised him was that these two facilities were of unrestricted type, which means they could be equipped on more than just a certain type of ship.

The other type is [Universal Shipborne Cannon],

It can only be equipped by warships, and it is only of the first level of Black Iron, just like the one equipped on the Wangxin now.

The last sonar radar production table is the one that attracts Su Wang's attention the most.

【Sonar radar production table】

Function: It can be used to make Iron-class general-purpose ship sonar radar, which is used for acoustic and electromagnetic scanning, exploration, and locking targets within a certain range of the hull.
It can assist ship-borne cannons in locking onto targets and extending their range, and is an essential component for using certain underwater special vessel facilities.

Production costs: wood, steel, blue fish coins*3000, black iron fish skin, fish tendons, fish glue, fish scales*3000.

...

Originally Su Wang thought,
The boat drivers in this world rely entirely on their naked eyes to aim, and they rely entirely on guesswork to deal with underwater targets. Even he himself used to do the same.

But now it seems that there are actually high-tech facilities such as sonar radar.

"This is a good thing. We must install one on the Heart of Death."

Su Wang immediately chose to make it.

The next second, a prompt indicating the consumption of fish hold materials flashed across his vision.

A fist-sized ball of light suddenly lit up on the operating table.

A large number of extremely tiny black dots seemed to be flying around outside the light ball, and then flew into the light ball one by one.

Su Wang took a closer look.

Only then did I see clearly that these black spots seemed like extremely miniature versions of various fish and resources.

In less than a minute,

After the ball of light dissipated, what was revealed was a strange round object with a wooden base covered with black glass.

[Sonar radar]

Level: Black Iron.

Scanning range: basic 100m + warship durability * 20%m.

Range Enhancement: When attacking targets within radar range, the range limit is lifted and aiming correction is provided.

...

"It will be much easier to deal with underwater targets now." Su Wang felt delighted.

At the same time, he also thought,

Radar can detect and display underwater targets. Can't this function be used to search for fish?

For example, special rare fish, or treasure fish in the colorful secret realm.

Based on the current durability of the Heartless, 1300 meters underwater is enough to scan out a lot of information.

This is not the end yet. There are still 4 gun slots on the Wangxin that need to be solved.

However, Su Wang did not intend to manufacture a general-purpose ship-mounted cannon, but instead found the permanent scroll he had obtained earlier from the fish hold.

"This should be what's called a special ship facility. I hope it brings some surprises..."

Su Wang took out the scroll and chose to use it.

The next second, as the scroll disappeared, a bronze manufacturing platform suddenly rose from the ground.

【Mother-and-child ship-mounted cannon production platform】

Function: Can be used to craft bronze-grade special ship-mounted cannons with special additional effects.

Number of times it can be manufactured: unlimited.

Production costs: wood, steel, blue fish coins*1, bronze fish skin, fish scales*1, fish tendons, fish glue*5.

...

While the fish decomposition machine is continuously decomposing the fish,
The resources stored in the fish hold have already reached an extremely terrifying level.

Su Wang chose to manufacture 8 guns without hesitation, preparing to completely replace the Wangxin.

After 8 minutes, all the large cannons on the mother ship had been manufactured.

Su Wang then went to the transport hull armor production table and also made a hull armor facility.

Store these things in the fish hold and assemble them through remote control of the Heart of Destruction.

A large amount of information suddenly appeared in Su Wang's eyes.

[The Heart of Death has been equipped with 8 mothership-mounted cannons (Bronze Level), and currently has 0 vacant cannon slots.]

[The Heart of Death is equipped with a sonar radar (Black Iron Class)*1 and an external hull armor (Black Iron Class)*1. 】

[Mother-and-child ship carrying huge cannon]

Level: Bronze.

Fish bomb power bonus: basic 100+100+50 power points.

Rate of fire: 5 seconds/round.

Special ability: Cluster bomb. After firing a shell, it will replicate itself once without damage. The second shell's power is 50% of the first.

鱼弹储备：20/20，10蔚蓝鱼币/每枚，射程3至500米。

Muzzle load limit: 100 rounds per hour,
Can withstand 100 artillery rounds per hour...

External hull armor

Level: Black Iron.

Armor Addition: Provides an armored hull for the ship, reducing 30 points of durability loss when attacked.

...

The special ship facilities really brought a surprise.

Not only is the base damage higher, but it can even replicate a bombardment.

This is a significant improvement for the Wangxin, which has double thunder explosions.

...

Now all the facilities that can be assembled have been assembled, and Su Wang walked out of the facility manufacturing plant.

After this period of tossing and turning, the red night is about to end.

Su Wang checked the overview of the terminal and found that the durability of the terminal had not decreased at all.

"The Red Night is over. Now it depends on whether we can withstand the coming Red Tide."

At this point, the underwater battle should have basically ended.
Su Wang immediately drove most of the fishman guards back to the port to speed up the cleanup of the remaining strange fish corpses.

He himself went to the lord's palace and placed the purifying fountain at the entrance of the palace.

Half an hour later, most of the strange fish left on the dock had been processed.

Su Wang came to the fish soul altar, ready to assemble the fish soul he had obtained that night.

This concerns the red tide at night and whether there are enough troops to deal with it.

After selecting all the assemblies,
Su Wang chose to hatch all of them, but did not summon them out.

Currently, the Fish Soul Altar has been assembled with:
46颗普通、53颗黑铁、60颗青铜、2颗白银级鱼魂，总计能召唤各级鱼人护卫4.72万只。

"4.72, I don't know if it can cope with the red tide..."

Tonight is just a red night.

According to the estimated harvest of fish souls, at least 15,000 strange fish were attracted, the highest of which was only bronze level.

There might be some silver-level ones, but they are definitely very rare. After all, not even a single silver fish soul was obtained.

But it is precisely because of this that Hong Ye can spend the night peacefully.

If a large number of silver-level monster fish join in the attack on the dock, the initial weak line of defense will definitely not hold.

It is believed that the red tide will definitely be more terrifying than the normal red night, and even silver-level or even gold-level strange fish may appear.

Although the total number of merman guards has more than increased fivefold, Su Wang still feels a little unsure.

But now, all that can be done has been done.

If the red tide really can't hold on, it can only rely on the power of the dock to help the Wangxin break out.

After all, the dock can be rebuilt, but if the Wangxin is lost, there will be no hope.

After dealing with all this, the sky had turned into the dimness of early morning.

The fisherman scales on the back of Su Wang's hand also felt a burning sensation, which should be the daily task of polluting the fishery.

Su Wang couldn't help but feel curious when he summoned the Fisherman's Scroll.

That night he did not kill the strange fish himself.

But a lot of the murloc guards on the dock were killed. Will this be counted on him?

As soon as the fishing task bar was opened, the clear information immediately appeared.

[Daily settlement task: Clean up pollution - settled.]

Mission rewards: 4386 ordinary-level polluted fish, 4869 iron-level polluted fish, 4912 bronze-level polluted fish, and 14 silver-level polluted fish were cleaned up yesterday.

The total points obtained are: 759380, ranking first among fishermen in terms of total points.

Obtained..., settlement of 75938 Azure Fish Coins.

...

"The strange fish killed by the dock's fighting force is actually included..."

More than 75 points can be exchanged for more than 7.5 fish coins.

It’s definitely not as good as the catch tonight, but it’s still a considerable gain.

After receiving the colorful scales on the leaderboard,
Su Wang could imagine the horrified expressions on the other fishermen's faces when they saw the points displayed on the leaderboard.

And when you see the bounty task you posted,

It was discovered that the number of recipients was constantly increasing, and within a short period of time it had exceeded more than a thousand people.

Su Wang couldn't help but look forward to a fisherman coming soon.

The terminal wants to develop rapidly.
The more specialty cores you have, the better, and you need to go out sailing to obtain them.

With no manpower available right now, I can only rely on myself to go out to sea and carry out the expedition.

The wharf is currently alone.

If there were no other fishermen to help keep an eye on things, Su Wang would not feel very safe going out to sea to explore.

...

The reward has been collected.

Su Wang was going to take a rest to recover his energy.
After waking up, I will sort out the fish harvest and go to the colorful secret realm to test the function of the sonar radar.

Other fishermen might arrive after a while, so the promised rewards must be prepared.

There is no rest area at the dock at the moment.

Su Wang returned to the Wangxin.

He knocked on the door to wake up Mirei who was resting, and prepared to ask her to help guard the dock.

After Mi Lei opened the door, Su Wang gave some instructions.

He immediately returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.
