Chapter 489: Full Thorn Canada
Broken Waves stood at the bow of the boat, holding a telescope to observe the situation, and then put it down and said: "The craftsmen of our Star Workshop are not ordinary, and the cannons they make are all first-class, and they can also build this clairvoyant mirror. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
He and Juexin are growing up like crazy, and they both look like tall little boys.
"It's not those craftsmen who are powerful, but the masters who are powerful, I have inquired, and the manufacturing technology of those ship cannons is all taken out by the masters. If the master can come up with this kind of thing, he will definitely have an extraordinary family background, and he may be a descendant of a family of divine craftsmen. Juexin said.
"Senior Brother Wu is also very powerful, he seems to know everything, but his martial arts are too low." Broken Waves said.
The senior brother Wu in his mouth is Wu Kun, Wu Kun works as a master in the Xingzhu Workshop and often goes to instruct the technique. The masters of the Star Workshop knew that Wu Kun was good at Gewu and was very polite to him, but Wu Kun only cultivated for two or three hours a day, so he only had a fivefold realm so far.
Although Broken Lang and the others admired his wisdom, they regretted his martial arts.
Crash!
A large 100-meter-long whale was hit by a bed crossbow and dragged a guerrilla boat around for a while before dying. The sailors turned the noose to drag the whale up, transported it to Whale Island for dismemberment, boiled oil, and finally sent to the North Korean port.
After disembarking at the North Korean port, part of the whale meat was sent to the major restaurants in Hangzhou, part of it was supplied to the North Korean garrison, and part of it was sold to the North Korean people. Whale oil is transported to the Star Workshop for rust prevention, candle making, cooking oil, nitroglycerin and so on. Nitroglycerin is a yellow, oily, clear liquid that explodes by vibration and can be used to make explosives.
A whale is worth a hundred gold, and there are countless whales in the sea.
After taking control of this area, all fleets that hunt whales must pay taxes to the Star Fleet. Moreover, Jiyang stipulates that whales above 80 meters can only be killed, making it impossible for some small boats to make a profit. Any fleet that does not follow the rules will be bombarded by the Star Fleet. This regulation is mainly to protect the continuation of whales, if they are overfished and killed, it is estimated that whales will become endangered in a few hundred years.
In addition to the whaling tax, the Nakshatra also established a maritime trade tax.
Whoever called the imperial court to ban the sea, the country does not care about this sea, then the most powerful fleet is eligible to collect taxes. It can also be called a protection fee, and it is a huge benefit to collect money for the coming and going of merchant ships anyway.
"Although this whale meat is delicious, I get tired of eating it every day." Breaking the waves is boring and authentic.
The nearby pirates are almost gone, and when there is no war, the Star Fleet is a fishing fleet.
They mainly hunt whales, but also use large nets to catch other fish, hundreds of thousands of catties of fish and shrimp in one net. This fishing net was bought by Ji Yang from modern times, because the Xingzhu Workshop was not involved in the manufacture of fishing nets for the time being, and it was impossible to make such a large fishing net. Even the Star Workshop can't be built, let alone anywhere else, so others can't even blush when they see the harvest of the Star Fleet.
"Some of them are good to eat, and now whale meat is ten taels of silver a pound in Hangzhou restaurants, and many people can't buy it if they want to eat it. I knew that there must be a reason why the master valued the Star Fleet so much, and the fishing alone was a lot of profit. "I'm proud of my vision.
At the beginning, Ji Yang asked him to assist Jing Xiulian to take all the territory of the Infinite Divine Palace, and then go to the Star Fleet. At that time, many people felt that Ji Yang was too eccentric, or they were afraid of his desperate identity, and wanted to call him under the broken waves.
Who would have expected that after a series of naval battles, Absolute Heart not only did not fall under the broken waves, but became the number one military division of the Star Fleet. Moreover, the interests of the Star Fleet are huge, and it is more energetic to be a military division here than to be a marshal in the world.
"Break the waves, break the heart, and sail back to the port of Connecticut." Ming Tao walked over and said.
"Great Commander, it's still early, you can catch a few more boatloads of fish, why are you in a hurry to go back?" The broken waves are incomprehensible.
If others dare to ask questions like this and do not listen to the command, Ming Tao will definitely reprimand him harshly. But Broken Lang and Absolute Heart are the true disciples of the head of the sect, and the future is immeasurable, and Ming Tao does not dare to offend, so he can only explain patiently: "Elder Ding sent a message, go back today to replace a batch of better artillery, if you don't want to, you can stay, wait for the next time to replace it." ”
"Yes, why not." As soon as Broken Wave heard that there was better artillery, he immediately lifted his spirits.
The new artillery required real combat, so for the first time only five warships and ten guerrilla boats, ten frigates were replaced. After Broken Lang and the others returned to the port of Kangzhou, Ding Chunqiu had already led the craftsmen to prepare, and a total of 1,800 artillery pieces were placed in the port to be loaded.
As soon as he got off the boat, he couldn't wait to see the artillery, and said in surprise: "This new artillery is so long, but the caliber is much smaller, can it work?" ”
Chief Engineer Yang said with a smile: "Young Master Broken, this is a breech artillery, which can be loaded from behind, not only the firing speed is fast, but the ejection speed is also very fast." This cannon is called the Tiger God Cannon, and it can hit fifteen miles, and it can penetrate any ship within five miles. ”
He is a craftsman of the Ninefold Realm, and he is also the most powerful master of the Star Workshop.
"Fifteen miles away, it's impossible." The broken waves are unbelievable.
"Look at this kind of ammunition, it is not the spherical shell used in the past, but the new type of tiger tooth shell." Chief Engineer Yang opened the ammunition box and took out a tooth-like ammunition, which was smaller in diameter than the spherical ammunition, but longer than the spherical ammunition.
"Sharp ammunition, can you try it with a shot?" Broken Waves said excitedly.
"Absolutely." Chief Engineer Yang said.
Broken Waves immediately aimed the barrel of the cannon at the distant sea, and then under the guidance of Chief Engineer Yang, he loaded the ammunition from the breech. After only one operation, Broken Wave immediately understood the benefits of this breech gun, and said secretly: "The loading speed is so fast, one gun is worth the previous three guns." ”
Open the gun door first, push the tiger tooth bullet into the barrel into place, and then send the explosive bag into the gun chamber. This procedure is reversed from the breech gun, which places the explosive pack first, and then the shell.
Bang!
In the surprised eyes of everyone, the cannonball disappeared with a brush, and only a few masters could see it clearly.
"Where's the hit?" A soldier was stunned.
Broken Wave's eyesight was strong, but the cannonball hit too far for him to see clearly.
One thing is certain, the Tiger cannon's firing range far exceeds that of the old artillery, and it can effectively kill and injure the enemy from a distance of five miles. The effective firing distance of the artillery of Dongying and other countries is only about one mile, so you can imagine the scene when the two fleets encounter.
"It's too strong, with this kind of artillery, from now on my star fleet will be invincible at sea!" Broken Waves said excitedly.
"That's nature." Chief Engineer Yang said.
If it weren't for the confidentiality regulations, Chief Engineer Yang would like to tell Broken Lang that this is just the first generation of Tiger God Cannon.
Under Wu Kun's suggestion, the Xingzhu Workshop has already built a steam engine, and used the steam engine to make steel and cast cannons, which can cast more powerful warships and artillery in the future. Chief Engineer Yang knew that in a few years, the Star Fleet would be able to be replaced with steel warships.
If it weren't for Wu Kun's guidance, Chief Engineer Yang and others would not dare to imagine that steel could act at sea. It is even more unimaginable that the cannon can shoot dozens of miles, and by that time the Star Fleet will be rampant across the world.
After the Star Fleet was replaced with a part of the Tiger God Cannon, the confidence of Broken Waves and the others increased greatly.
In order to familiarize themselves with the Tiger God Cannon, they found a place after going to sea and fired a salvo of more than a dozen cannons. Thousands of shells flew out, blowing up the slope of an island seven miles away, and its power was evident.
After learning about the operation method and the power of the Tiger God Cannon, the morale of the Star Fleet from top to bottom was greatly boosted. In the past, they could use old-fashioned artillery to run rampant at home and abroad, but now they are replaced with Tiger God cannons, which are several times stronger, and they are almost flying. And the sailors of the warships and battleships who had not yet been replaced with the Tiger God Cannon were envious, and the captains ran to grind with Elder Ding and Chief Yang.
"Desperate, I don't remember the red-haired ghost's fleet, they ran away last time, and this time with the Tiger God Cannon, it will definitely make them unable to eat and walk around." As soon as the waves are out of the sea, they are like a fish in water.
"Why don't you eat and walk around, as soon as the Tiger God Cannon comes out, hehe..." I didn't know how to describe that kind of scene, and finally shook my head and smiled: "Use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, as soon as this Tiger God Cannon comes out, it's too bullying." ”
"Hahaha, I just like to bully others, is it possible that you like to be bullied." Broken Waves laughed and said, the feeling of the ship being strong and crushing others was too pleasant, and after a while, the other party all sank into the sea, invincible.
"Let's not talk about this for now, according to Elder Ding's orders, let's sell the old artillery first. The old artillery is useless to us, but if it is sold to countries such as Dongying Manchu, it will definitely be sold for a good price. "Desperate heart is not the same as breaking waves, he is not very interested in crushing wars, and prefers to compete in wits and make money.
They transported the old guns that had been replaced to Dongying for public auction, and many sects came to bid. Including the Iga faction, who had several naval battles with the Star Fleet before, because they were mistreated by the Star Fleet, they coveted the Star Fleet's guns for a long time, and offered to buy them many times.
In order to make money, the Star Fleet also sold hundreds of guns, but it was a drop in the bucket for Dongying. This time, 1,800 artillery pieces were sold at once, and the major forces in Dongying were shaken and rushed to buy them one after another. 1,800 artillery pieces were sold, and in the end they got more than 700,000 taels of silver, and they only spent more than 100,000 taels to cast the artillery, which can be described as a huge profit.
In addition to artillery, they also bought a large amount of ammunition from the Nakshatra faction and earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. At this time, Dongying did not realize the importance of manufacturing and gold and silver, and he worked hard to buy porcelain, iron, silk and fabrics from the Central Plains, and used gold and silver and other minerals to buy artillery ammunition.
Half a month later, Broken Lang led the fleet that had changed to the Tiger God Cannon, and a total of twenty-five large ships came to Manthorn. Manthorn is the Malaysian generation, is the maritime artery between the East and the West, whoever controls this strait, who has the right to speak in the maritime trade between the East and the West.
"The fleet of red-haired ghosts, they are attacking the country of Thorn Canada!" Broken Wave said with a telescope.
"Just in time, we will attack immediately, and we will definitely be able to wipe out their fleet in one fell swoop." Desperate to make a decision.
"Okay, get ready for war!" Breaking the waves is overjoyed.
Ming Tao manages a large army in the waters of Whale Island, an elite squad equipped with the Tiger God Cannon, led by Broken Waves and Absolute Heart. He gave the order, and the commander immediately waved the flag, and fifteen warships sped up.
The red-haired ghost discovered their fleet, and in a panic, he hurriedly set up a defensive formation, preparing to fight against Broken Wave and the others. The two fleets had fought once before, so the red-haired ghost had an impression of this super-large warship. Although the ships of the Star Fleet are huge and sturdy, their guns are similar to those of the red-haired ghosts, and even if they can't beat them, they won't be afraid.
Unexpectedly, this time the broken wave was ordered to anchor five miles away, twenty-five ships were swinging away, and 900 guns were aimed at the port of Manchurian Canada. The country of Thorn Canada was very weak, and the red-haired ghosts only used eighteen warships to defeat them, and their largest warship was only more than fifty meters.
......Bang bang
Nine hundred artillery pieces were fired together, and because they were not familiar with the Tiger God Cannon, most of them missed. But a small part of the shells hit blew up the red-haired ghost's fleet, crying dad and mother.
The artillery bombardment was launched five miles away, which was unimaginable at the time, and all the red-haired ghosts were blown up.
After only five rounds of shelling, Broken Wave ordered the shelling to stop.
"Tiger God Cannon! Tiger God Cannon! Tiger God Cannon! There was no need to break the waves to take the lead, and the sailors shouted in unison, expressing their admiration for the Tiger God Cannon.
The red-haired ghost's fleet almost contributed to the Canadian kingdom of Thorns, and the star fleet came and destroyed the red-haired ghost's fleet with a thunderbolt. When Broken Waves and the others set foot on the port of the Thorn Canada, their soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy as if they had seen the gods, trembling like chaff.
It's an unfair war, and the Broken Waves feel very boring, and the broken waves feel majestic.
"Promote my prestige in the Central Plains, who at home and abroad dares to disagree." Broken Lang laughed in his heart, and after landing with five hundred sailors, he captured a soldier from the Manchurian Kingdom and told him to lead the way to the city of the Manchurian King.
Heartbreaker leads the remaining sailors to settle down in the harbor while asking the captured red-haired ghost about the West. The few red-haired ghosts who survived were because they had landed in port before the shelling, and their fleet had all sunk.
Witnessing the strength of the Star Fleet, a few Dutchmen had no desire to resist at all, and obediently said what they desperately wanted.
"There are still many countries and continents in the West, and the territory is vast, no less than the Central Plains." After getting this news, his absolute interest increased greatly, thinking that the Star Fleet was no longer invincible, and there was nothing to conquer, but now it seems that there are still a lot of rivers and mountains waiting for him.
"You Tanzhi, you have advanced to the innate." Ji Yang said.
"Yes, sir." You Tan didn't say much.
After advancing to the innate level, You Tanzhi's skills have increased greatly, and his damaged face has been restored. He looked to be in his twenties, a rather handsome young man, but his gaze was as cold as ever.
The main martial arts he practiced were the Yi Jin Sutra and the Ice Silkworm Poison Palm, and the cold qi became more and more intense. If it weren't for the martial art of Yi Jin Jing, I am afraid that You Tanzhi would have become a poisonous person, and Yi Jin Jing could just allow him to smelt the ice silkworm poisonous gas.
