The attack of the chain cannon, in terms of pure single-output capability, is certainly not as good as the Thunderfire Cannon.
However, the chain cannon's group output capability is quite considerable, with continuous cannon fire blasting out of the barrel, without needing to account for reload time. Additionally, when passive is triggered, another barrel can also fire an attack.
Area damage is suitable for attacking enemy naval ships with lower energy levels than the Salted Fish but in large numbers.
And what satisfies Fang Yu even more is...
The additional enchanting ability.
[Scorching Furnace]!
The power device finally feels worthy of its name.
Not to mention the speed boost brought by burning Thermal Energy Crystal Stones.
The percentage boost is something only those who experience it would know.
The power device's enhancement for the entire ship is also quite significant.
A 30% reduction in energy level consumption means the crew on board will have their consumption significantly reduced, extending operational time remarkably.
This point is crucial for the Salted Fish.
After all, the crew on the Salted Fish, unlike Fang Yu, hasn't extensively absorbed Divine Essence; their energy isn't as vigorous. Even with massive bursts of power, they may not feel fatigued.
Many crew members, when using the Salted Fish's cannons, far exceed the consumption of a normal ship's crew.
The greater the power, the greater the consumption, which is natural.
If they were level 35 or even level 40 crew, such consumption wouldn't matter.
But being not even level 30 and having to operate such fearsome weapons comparable to a level 40 ship, the consumption is no small matter.
Now, with the power device's upgrade, it greatly relieves the consumption pressure on the crew.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu did not hesitate and directly allocated his spare points to these two mid-level enchantments.
Previously, through rolling dice and other means, Fang Yu retained 7 Lord Points on the panel.
At this moment, Fang Yu allocated these 7 Lord Points with a 4:3 ratio to [Infinite Firepower] and [Scorching Furnace], respectively.
[Infinite Firepower lv.1→lv.5(max)]
Effect 1: Power reduced by 20% → Power increased by 20%, crew energy level consumption increased by 20% → no additional crew energy level consumption.
Effect 2: Attack strength as 80% of the main barrel → as 120% of the main barrel.
[Scorching Furnace lv.1→lv.4]
Effect 1: Burning one increases speed by 2% → 5%, burn limit: 10 → 16, duration: 20 minutes → 29 minutes
Effect 2: Provides a 30-second 30% → 1-minute 45% reduction in energy level consumption.
Seeing the substantial upgrade in all abilities, Fang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
The previously retained points were all used up after this upgrade, and only the Scorching Furnace enchantment is now a point shy of reaching its max level.
Seems like Fang Yu will have to wait until level 31 to consider upgrading Scorching Furnace to max level.
...
The evolution and enhancement of the ship injected a powerful boost to Fang Yu.
He realized that the ship was now fully prepared to set sail once again.
At this moment, Qiyun Port's military, having integrated all internal resources and situations, promptly made the following deployment:
"Welcome all Blue Star Captains to come to the military office to accept missions."
"The content of this mission: Layout a defense line, need to escort the military's engineers to the periphery of the East Ring Sea Region to set up sea battle walls."
"The mission content is simple, setting up sea battle walls will take five days, during which time you must collaborate with the military to ensure smooth completion of the setup."
"The exact time of the enemy's attack is uncertain, but preparing the defense line in advance can effectively resist their assault."
"In the process, the joint forces of the Divine Hall and Sin Domain may come to attack and disrupt the setup of the sea battle wall. Your task is to ensure the orderly completion of the wall's setup."
As soon as Kong Huaao returned to Qiyun Port, the entire port became orderly.
Although the combined forces of the Divine Hall and Sin Domain seemed imposing, their overall strength might be stronger than the Southern Island Sea Region garrison.
But somehow, hearing Kong Huaao continuously issuing orders and arranging the battles, all the Blue Star Captains felt a sense of relief.
It seemed as long as Kong Huaao was present, the Southern Island Sea Region couldn't possibly fail.
Immediately, all the Blue Star Captains swarmed into the military office, eager to accept tasks.
Weaker Blue Star Captains accepted delivery tasks, transporting materials and components for constructing the sea battle wall, as well as wartime supplies, to the Southern Island Sea Region garrison's island: Southeast Stone Island.
Meanwhile, stronger ship-level Blue Star Captains accepted tasks for escorting and constructing the sea battle wall.
Even captains from financial groups silently came to the military office, also intending to accept tasks.
These captains from financial groups, previously arrogant, didn't have Qiyun Port and East Ring Sea Region's rogue factions in their sights.
But after facing defeat in the East Ring Sea Region, leaving them battered, these captains also began to behave themselves.
The final conclusion: They could only rely on the power of the native forces, embedding themselves in the military campaign to gain benefits through tasks.
Thus, recently, these people have truly behaved, quietly coming to accept tasks, quite low-profile.
Some Blue Star Captains from Qiyun Port recognized the financial group captains accepting tasks, and couldn't help but snicker, feeling greatly relieved inside.
