What they were thinking of was a house that could move.
Everything can be put inside, meeting most of your living needs, and it's also movable.
Isn't it just a "home that can walk"?
However, An Yi's words "icebreaker" actually caused the heroes' brains to "search" for "zero ice"!
Yup!
What sails on the White Sea is none other than a ship!
A massive ship capable of tearing through frozen ground!
icebreaker!
Therefore, this type of transportation that could be used on the White Sea was temporarily named an "icebreaker".
An Yi didn't know how to explain that she had just said the name on the spot, anyway... let's leave it at that for now.
As a means of transportation heading towards the White Sea, this name feels somewhat lacking in grandeur.
However, the problem was quickly resolved.
The vehicle is called an "icebreaker".
However, the means of transportation itself can also be called by other names.
For example, a mode of transportation might be called a high-speed rail, but the name of a high-speed rail could be something like "XX".
Soon, the first generation of "icebreaker" was designed and built.
It was a large, sealed ship with the same structure as a large ship as normal humans understand it, with a flat deck on top, a prismatic hull below, and a pointed bow at the front.
In short, it's what a normal person would think of as a "ship".
This was a prototype, and the materials used were hastily put together.
It is a large ship assembled from the highly resilient fur and bones of the demon race, capable of accommodating up to ten people.
The exterior is made of highly resilient demonic materials, so ordinary materials can be used inside to design the magic array. The ultimate goal is to make the entire ship move.
What a coincidence! Irene happens to be a Wind Magic Master with a high level of proficiency in Wind Magic! 〇∴∽∞`〇—●
Setting up a wind magic circle that could move a large ship would be a piece of cake.
It can even utilize the wind element in the environment to assist the movement of the "icebreaker".
So it wasn't long before the first prototype was built through the collaboration of the heroes and dwarves.
The warriors processed and assembled the materials, while the dwarves used the knowledge they learned from dwarven books to design and guide the structure.
When a large white ship was finally completed and stood before the heroes and dwarves, everyone's eyes shone with anticipation and excitement.
"It's done!!"
"Ooo ...
Some brave souls cheered on the spot.
This first-generation "icebreaker" embodies all their hard work during this period.
It is also the result of a joint effort by three intelligent races.
Perhaps this "icebreaker" can only take a small step into the frozen ground, but for the fight against the demons, it is a giant leap forward!
Once this mode of transportation is built and proven to be usable, the heroes' progress in penetrating the demon realm will be greatly accelerated!
The reason is simple: icebreakers can directly solve the problem of not being able to carry supplies.
While the problem of carrying food on one's person has not yet been solved, such a large vehicle can store a large amount of food and protect it from wind and snow.
Even if you can't carry it with you, there's still a supply point where you can replenish your food.
So, unless they encounter a demon in the demon realm that they cannot defeat despite their best efforts, the heroes can return to the ship for supplies after the battle.
This is the breakthrough from zero to one.
What used to be completely impossible to carry food has become the ability to find a supply station in the snow!
The direct benefit of this is that the heroes can send out a group of strong and resilient heroes and high-magic heroes as an advance team, to cooperate with a small number of reconnaissance heroes to enter the [White Sea] for a greater investigation!
The completion of the first icebreaker was a cause for celebration, and it was given a rather imposing name—
White Sea Ark!
After its completion, a group of brave individuals will naturally be needed to conduct a "sea test" on this White Sea Ark.
The first to enter the test were naturally the Saintess Squad.
The heroes initially opposed using them as test subjects, since there were plenty of heroes capable of conducting experiments, and there was no need to put the Saintess Squad on the risk.
However, this was also opposed by the other three people besides Mi Lu.
Milu didn't not want to go, but she felt that she wouldn't dare to say anything even if she did.
It is the Saintess Squad's duty to stand before all the heroes; they must face danger before any hero and then guide them onto the right path.
"It's just a test, nothing unexpected will happen." Lycorina understood the feelings of the heroes. "We are the strongest hero team here, right?"
Even if we encounter demons in the [White Sea], we have the ability to escape unscathed.
"It's just a test to see if the White Sea Ark can move properly; I don't think it can stump us."
Lycorina immediately offered an answer that the heroes could hardly refute.
"That's right, that's right! We've fought so many dangerous demons and survived, what's wrong with just going into the snow?!"
"And even if things get worse, we still have Annie, don't we?!" Layton laughed and patted Annie on the shoulder.
An Yi did not answer him in the same way: "With enough powerful magic warriors, it would be easy to protect us and bring us back safely from the frozen ground."
We will not leave the area under our surveillance, so there is no need to worry unnecessarily.
"That's... true."
"Indeed."
The heroes were eventually persuaded.
Just as An Yi said, they were simply testing whether the White Sea Ark could move normally in the permafrost and withstand wind and snow.
Compared to the previous incursions into various demon cities to subdue elite demons, this was nothing at all.
Two, apart from the four members of the Saintess Squad, there are six more people who can board the ship.
The initial design goal was to be able to carry four strong warriors, four high-magic warriors, and two reconnaissance warriors.
Four high-magic-powered heroes take turns supplying magic for the ark's movement, while two reconnaissance heroes can also take turns continuously scouting the surrounding environment.
It's like there's radar constantly scanning the outside world.
Although the abilities of the reconnaissance heroes will be weakened under the magical wind, they are all heroes above level 500, so even if they are weakened, their reconnaissance range will not be much smaller.
Because this test may take us to distances we've never explored before, a reconnaissance-type hero has been added to the test.
There are currently five people, and the dwarves have also participated in the design, so the dwarves sent a representative to personally test the White Sea Ark.
With these six people, plus four high-magic-power warriors, the maximum number of participants in the test has been reached.
Actually, the strongest in this test was not the four members of the Saintess Squad.
Instead, they were chosen as representatives, the dwarves.
Although they were all ordinary dwarf warriors, they were a group of old men.
However, in terms of strength and resilience, they surpass all the heroes in the world.
Even An Yi can only bully them because they aren't very agile.
In a one-on-one situation, it would probably take a very long time just to break through their defenses.
Let alone the level 20 demons that the heroes can currently defeat, even if they go up three levels, they would be killed by the dwarf warriors in a few moves.
These were dwarves without equipment and with four arms missing; in their prime, they could hold their own against the top-tier demons.
With dwarves on board, even if they encounter demons stronger than the heroes in the frozen tundra, they are still capable of dealing with them.
Soon, ten testers boarded the ship.
Among the four powerful magical warriors, one of them is An Yi's "cheap junior sister";
Marie, the heroine of the wind.
"call……"
Standing in the empty hull, Marie took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
The magic circles inside the ship were all designed by Irene, and she also participated in the creation of the magic circles.
She was one of the heroes who was invited very early on.
Within the White Sea, where wind and snow rage, she, as the Wind Warrior, can play a significant role in the White Sea Plan.
She has a special advantage in controlling the wind.
Moreover, she is a "magic swordsman" whose main skill is magic, so she can also be considered a hero with high magic power.
"I feel a little nervous," Lycorina said with a smile.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Marie smiled as well. “I hope everything goes well!”
Prior to this, many unmanned experiments had been conducted.
However, this only allows the high-magic-powered heroes to propel the ship forward and backward to confirm that the magic circle propelling the White Sea Ark is functioning properly.
In this regard, Irene confidently assured Annie that her magic circle would be absolutely fine!
An Yi, of course, believed her and had no intention of doubting her.
At this stage, the things the heroes use are all very simple to Irene.
It's like asking a great mathematician to do a primary school student's problem; there's absolutely no difficulty involved.
There are no "ifs" or "what ifs." If you can't solve equations with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you might as well add a few dots. If you can't even do that, don't call yourself a math whiz; go home and pick your fingers.
Even though Irene has been on the run for a thousand years, she shouldn't be so bad as to make a mistake on something so simple.
"If there's a problem, it must be with the materials, not with my magic array!"
