Even at the end of the Cold War, when the Bald Eagle Navy, which was second in strength in the old world, and the aircraft carriers were rampant at the end of the Cold War, the Eagle military briefly restored several battleships that had been mothballed after World War II and entered active service. During this period, countless naval officers reported to apply for transfer to battleships, including many elite backbones who had served on aircraft carriers for many years. The sailors were happy to serve on a mighty battleship, a glorious resume unmatched by other warships, and the prominent position enjoyed by battleships in the navy was irreplaceable, even the hegemonic aircraft carriers of the new era could not do.

For the same reason, the elegant and powerful second-hand Yaling battleship is also a capital that can be proud of Zola and other sailors, and anyone who dares to insult this battleship is tantamount to challenging their self-esteem and professional pride.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said to the boatswain:

"Very well, since you think so too, then no problem."

At the moment when Luo Zhengdao carefully put down the trap for the boatswain, the shadow of the white sails following the Yangwei was gradually closing in the field of vision, and without relying on the telescope, you could see that the first few ships were the sailing oars used by smugglers in the sea of stars.

Outside of the liquid ocean near the shore, the Void Sea, as the people of the New World call it, is in fact a shorthand for the linguistic ease of description, the Etheric Sea is an almost infinite realm of the Void. It is only when there is an external disturbance that the aether particles are stimulated to produce the strange dark golden glow and halo ripples and other energy interference phenomena, and then the most incredible natural wonders of the new world will be shown to the onlookers.

The navigators of the New World roam in the Aetheric Sea, and the stars they can see are not real stars, some of them are distant island enclaves, some are simply projection virtual images formed by other planes in the main material realm, and even some mysterious and unknown places, which will make explorers who go deep into it have no return.

When ships sail in the seemingly empty etheric sea, they must use sea driftwood, which naturally repels ether particles, as the main ship material to ensure that the ship has sufficient buoyancy reserves. Otherwise, once the ship encounters a special sea area with a low density of aether particles, the whole ship will fall to the dark bottom of the Aether Sea like a stone sinking to the bottom of the water, and the sailors trapped on the ship can only wait for the end of dying of thirst and starvation, or they can pry off a piece of driftwood from the ship and lie on it to escape the lonely death trap while they still have a little strength and courage.

The mysterious Aetheric Sea is full of dangers, and choosing to sail above sea level is a self-defeating way, and with the corresponding increase in altitude, the Mana particles that are active over the Aetheric Sea and the unpredictable law of change can turn into a Mana storm at any time, and it is not news that the ship's mast will be broken, or even the hull will be blown apart. In short, the navigators of the New World were able to maintain their ships at a baseline altitude at sea level, which was the safest seaworthy area, and the extremes of going off the beaten path often turned into needless adventures that required a terrible price.

Although it is necessary to spend a lot of manpower to row the oars full-time, which reduces the loading capacity and the number of guns, and the firmness of the ship is also sacrificed, but there is always a benefit to all kinds of harms, and the sailing oars have gained more reliable power and safety than ordinary sail warships.

Even if they fall into the thin particle sea known as the "Aether Trap", the galleys can break free from the desperate situation with the extra power and lift provided by the numerous oars. As a result, this type of ship with low economy has won the special favor of smugglers, who specialize in sailing in dangerous sea areas that ordinary sailing ships are afraid of, so as to avoid the arrest actions of the navies of various countries to collect high taxes, especially to contract illegal activities such as smuggling trade between the open sea and the main 6, etc., which have to be carried out by sailing warships.

Luo Zhengdao's agitation really took the boatswain's army, and Zola Hegel's originally black face was comparable to the bottom of the pot at this time, and he walked off the command platform with a snort, and suddenly stopped with his movements, as if he had awakened to his own scheme, and the boatswain's mood became more and more annoyed.

Zola Hegel, who was on fire in his heart, went all the way and scolded the sailors for their poor preparations, and he exclaimed:

"Get ready to fight! Little bunnies, don't try to be lazy. What are your hands shaking? Tie the sail rope, and when something goes wrong, I'll send you down to tow the keel. ”

The three-masted battleship Yangwei is a second-hand Yaling battleship that has just been refurbished, no matter what, it is still a real military ship, and the structural design and configuration from the inside to the outside are all for combat missions, not those amateur warships with temporary cameos can compare. At this moment, as the Yangwei gracefully completed a small radius in front of the pursuers, as it gracefully completed a small radius in front of the pursuers, and crossed its solid hull as a huge city wall to meet the enemy, a bronze cast cannon was pushed out of the ship's side gun door, and a solemn aura quietly dispersed.

"Hey, isn't it a goblin? Who would that be? ”

As soon as he put down the binoculars, Luo Zhengdao frowned and muttered, in his opinion, it is natural for the goblin fleet to chase and kill him, and if it is not my race, his heart must be different! However, the latter fleet is a complex type, obviously a hodgepodge, and the number of ships is far less than that of the goblin pursuit fleet, which is a little too strange, could it be that they are the old enemies of Will Needham?

"The little cub of Count Frrough's family has a lot of hands! Surround them, and don't let this kid run away. ”

The mysterious man who had identified the target through the binoculars and hidden under the hood of his black cloak sneered twice and ordered the formation of the fleet to be changed from a column adapted to a high pursuit state to a geese marching array with two wings outflanking.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zhengdao quickly made corresponding adjustments, turned around and shouted at the herald:

"Raise the flag, tell the sù Yong to hide away."

The existence of magic and other mortal powers in the new world does not mean that there should be as many lich as dogs and demigods everywhere, or that the previous situation that almost caused the collapse of ordinary people's worldview would not appear in a normal world.

For most mortals living in the New World, magic is like the alienation of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants in the other world, although everyone clearly knows that those destructive and terrifying weapons are real in some corner of the world, and will have a serious impact on their lives, but to say that every day when you open the door and see an ICBM passing by your doorstep, then it is really a hell of a thing! Because of this, the new world lacks cheap and convenient means of civil communication such as radio in the old world, and the magic and curiosities that are too expensive to kill people are, and the communication between ships mainly relies on ancient flags and light signals to achieve instant communication, which are the most convenient and practical means of communication, and perhaps it is a sin to have too many extravagant hopes for the wizarding world! Of course, this immature information exchange channel is limited to delivering relatively simple content, and there is no need to expect something like Wubi Banner or something.

With a long line of signal flags hoisted from the mast of the Flyer, the loyal one-eyed dragon captain of the brig Brave, Fore Chopin, felt that he should not let himself out of the battle, but he also had to obey the Count's orders and turn the rudder away from the center of the battlefield, separating the Flyer from the battle.

"The enemy ship is six hundred yards away!"

There is no suitable candidate for the position of gun commander on the flagship Yangwei, ballistics is not a high-tech thing that can be played by illiterates, and in the end it can only be taken by the half-elf beauty Vina Dubov on a part-time basis, at least her math level is trustworthy, at least much more reliable than Luo Zhengdao, who returned all his math knowledge to the high school teacher immediately after the college entrance examination.

The original naval guns verified and certified by the Royal Ordnance Bureau of Yaling were unloaded as early as the retirement of the battleship Yangwei, and the guns now equipped on the ship are the products of the black workshop of unknown origin, which are said to be cheap goods exclusively for export by the Kingdom of Yogyakarta, and the actual source is uncertain. The bald owner of the Ambon shipyard swore that the quality of these guns was first-class, and that double loading of stone pine powder in an emergency would ensure that they would not explode, and that he had seen the ugly faces of unscrupulous profiteers in the old world who did not make drafts, and Luo Zhengdao was honest about the quality of these three-no products.

Hearing the number reported by Vina Dubov, Luo Zhengdao hesitated again and again and said:

"Don't fire, wait a little longer."

The closer the distance, the easier it is to hit, this law applies to both the old and new worlds of tubular firearms, compared to the theoretical maximum range of 1,500 yards of artillery, the distance of 600 yards is actually very close, since Luo Zhengdao feels that it is inappropriate to fire now, Vina Dubov is impossible to do with him. Turning her head to look at Luo Zhengdao's young face full of bitterness and hatred, she couldn't help laughing, and then continued to fiddle with the instrument observation number jù to calculate the ballistic number jù after the change of position of the two sides.

After two minutes, Vina Dubov again reported the number of ballistic strokes and said in a coquettish voice:

"Four hundred yards from enemy ships! Ruler XII. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao still nodded and didn't say a word, the four hundred yards of the new world is equivalent to about three hundred meters of the old world, the two sides are close enough, but the gunners of the Yangwei have never waited for the captain to give the order to attack, but the enemy has taken the lead to open fire.

"Tom! Tong! Tom ......"

"Be careful to avoid shelling and prepare sand buckets to extinguish the fire."

Stone projectiles swept over the Aether Sea, rubbing against the rich Aether particles to create dazzling golden ballistic trajectories, and these quasi-chaotic artillery fire were fired from each of the four sailing ships on the opposite side, and then Boatswain Zola Hegel, who had temporarily taken the position of first mate, shouted a serpentine maneuver to avoid the attack. There is no doubt that this is a standard defensive posture, but it is a pity that the opponent's artillery skills are too clumsy, and it wastes Luo Zhengdao's tragic mood of preparing the bayonets on the cannon, only one of the near-missed bullets passed by a low altitude about thirty meters away from the bow of the Yangwei, and the rest of the stone bullets flying in the Brownian trajectory God knows where they fell.

After such a round of chaotic shelling, the Yangwei, which was the target of the shooting, did not even hurt a single hair, I don't know whether to say that Luo Zhengdao's luck was good, or that the opponent's combat strength was too lame.

"Three hundred yards away! Scale four, left wind correction one. ”

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. After Vina Dubov reported the ballistic number, the gunners of the Yangwei readjusted the artillery parameters and aimed, and he had just been hit by a cannon fire, although Luo Zhengdao knew that he could not endure it any longer, and the behavior of the turtle with a shrunken head was demoralizing, he drew his sword and pointed it at the approaching enemy ship, and shouted:

"Prepare for a salvo...... Ignition! ”
