Chapter 47 Samson
"Mr. Mans, give me two minutes and I'll be on the battlefield."
Please hold on for two minutes. That dragon is different from the dragon shadow that chased Ye Shengya earlier. It is more powerful and more cunning. In the memories I obtained through domination, it is Samson, Prince Norton's most loyal dragon servant.
Never, ever underestimate your opponent!
Mans, who was well-versed in religious history, quickly found the name in the depths of his memory.
Samson, the Jewish leader in the Book of Judges, was born according to God's promise and grew up under God's care. He possessed superhuman strength, a gift from God, capable of tearing a lion apart with his bare hands. When a dragon bears this majestic name, it speaks of its brutality and terror.
Su An continued.
"Relinquish your captaincy to me. From now on, I will be in charge of piloting the Moniach."
As a seasoned captain with many years of experience, Professor Mans instinctively wanted to question the feats, but when he thought of the miracles Su An had brought, he subconsciously chose to obey.
Mans clicked on the screen and checked "Yes" on all the transfer procedures in each column!
He clicked the final confirmation, and with the successful handover displayed, the captain's authority was transferred to Su An.
He sensed a powerful will controlling the ship.
The Moniach retracted its remaining anchor, started the gas turbines, and activated its powerful propulsion system.
This is a power system left behind by the madmen of the equipment department. Due to its complicated and difficult operation process, few people can use it at will in battle, so it has been left unused for a long time.
At this moment, this S, who has repeatedly created miracles, somehow managed to...
He controlled this steel behemoth across the distant Pacific Ocean and used his skillful and precise mind to unlock this long-dormant power system!
A violent whooshing sound came from the steam pipes; it was the heartbeat of the Moniach.
Everyone on the ship stumbled; they were initially panicked, but then their surprise turned to delight.
The Moniach accelerated! The speedometer readings on the big screen kept soaring!
This modified power system allowed the large ship to reach a top speed of 60 knots on the sea.
The splash was gone before the bow of the ship could even cut through it.
"This is just the beginning! Everyone, hold your ground!"
Su An's excited voice echoed in the channel.
Immediately afterwards, the Moniach spread its silver-blue wings.
That was a hidden hydrofoil left behind by the equipment department; it was a miracle of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics created by a group of madmen.
When deployed, the Moniach can reach speeds of up to 140 knots.
At this moment, the Moniach was like a swift knife slicing across the water; ordinary torpedoes couldn't hit it because it was too fast.
The dark shadow in the water gradually receded into the distance until it disappeared completely.
Professor Mans breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes suddenly widened as he glanced at the bow of the ship.
Wait a minute? This isn't the way to escape.
The ship's movement away was merely to create space for its own acceleration; at this very moment, the Moniach had already turned around!
Su An's voice was calm, but a hint of madness lurked beneath the calm.
"No matter how fast this boat goes, it can't outrun a dragon in the water."
We cannot be the prey being chased; we must be the hunter. Only the most ruthless hunter can kill the most ferocious prey.
The bow of the ship was getting faster and faster, and the thick waves were easily pushed aside by the propulsion system, which at this moment was like the prelude to going to battle.
But the boat showed no lingering affection for the splashing water that had seen it off; instead, it sped faster and faster.
Under Su An's control, the hard bow actually activated the remaining program, causing a huge, sharp point to protrude.
That was a ram left over from the equipment department, made of the latest and hardest alloy, molded in one piece, sturdy and durable.
Mans suddenly realized that he finally understood the S-level's thinking, the madman's thinking.
That was an impact! The most primal impact.
What a brilliant idea! What amazing courage! What an ancient tactic!
For a long period in history, the mainstream method of naval warfare was to ram and sink enemy ships. This was the prevailing tactic. In the era of cold weapons, ramming tactics were very popular in naval warfare. The earliest form of naval warfare involved the two sides' ships boarding each other, and then the two groups of people jumping onto each other's ships to fight hand-to-hand, which was equivalent to moving land warfare to the sea.
The Greeks later realized that this was too slow and foolish, so they installed a ram on the bow of the ship. It was an iron spike that could ram through the wooden hull, and once the ship took on water, all the sailors on board would perish.
In 480 BC, the Battle of Salamis took place between Greece and Persia. The Greeks used ships with rams to ram and sink many Persian warships, inflicting a major defeat on the Persian navy. However, once the age of gunpowder warfare arrived, warships were equipped with cannons and could attack from a distance, making ramming ships much less common.
At this moment, Suan's courage surpassed even that of the Greeks in the Battle of Salamis. He wanted to ram the dragon with the speeding Moniach, using the ship to strike a nimble, fast, and cunning dragon servant.
This is a test of both strength and intelligence; any small mistake could cost you success.
The price of failure was that Samson was allowed to board the deck.
Professor Mans couldn't bear to imagine the consequences of failure for the time being; he could only pray for the S-class ship handling capabilities.
He finally understood what Su An meant by "one minute".
It was a minute of facing death to live. Professor Mans had always been working for the cause of slaying dragons, but he was usually in the position of a commander. He had never been a foot soldier before, but at this moment he was happy to be this S-class foot soldier. He hoped that everyone would survive.
The xenon lamps illuminated the white foam in front of the ship, but the foam couldn't hide the sharp waterline. It seemed that in the shallow water, an invisible knife was cutting through the surface, and the leading edge of the waterline was only about 500 meters away from the Moniach.
The dragon was also enraged and wanted to confront the Moniach head-on!
The shadow beneath the water's surface thrashed its tail at an astonishing frequency, accelerating wildly.
They got closer and closer! Closer and closer!
Suddenly, just a second before the dragon and the boat were about to collide, Su An's boat veered slightly.
That tiny bit of shift worked!
Boom boom boom!
Amidst the roar of the engine, a dragon servant that should have been invisible was rammed and sent flying by the bow of the ship.
The dragon servant's bones were almost shattered; its body tumbled in mid-air, and copious amounts of blood gushed from its ruptured wounds.
Selma, still shaken, stared at the dragon that had been sent flying: "How did it get there?"
"I see," Mans exclaimed. "Samson used an unknown power of words to distort the light. He originally wanted Su An to misjudge the position. Just a tiny mistake would have decided the outcome of the collision. But for some reason, Su An was able to see Samson's position clearly."
He always makes the right choices! I have no doubt that our S-Class will lead us to greatness!
