Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The reason why Tianming did not take the initiative to attack, but waited for these gourd boats to approach Phuket Island and the invaders landed on the island before fighting, there was a certain purpose.
His aim was to capture a few intact gourd boats.
Prisoners, 784 people, of which more than 2oo were the regular army of the invading Phuket. The other 5oo people were all scarred paddling slaves whose hands and feet were tied with a circle of hemp rope, and after Tianming ordered someone to cut off the hemp rope on their hands and feet, he announced the good news that "you are free".
“jinga! jinga! ”
The cheers on the island rang out, and seeing that their jinga had won so lightly, everyone on Phuket Island roared after the victory.
Standing on a higher ground on Phuket Island, Tianming enjoyed the fanatical worship of thousands of Blue Star people, including the 5oo freed slaves, and his prestige rose to the top.
However, it is not too early to be happy, the hostile forces have not been completely wiped out, and there are dozens of ships not far away, and they may not know what is happening here, and they are slowly heading towards Phuket Island.
After loading the ability Gatling, he took out the shell ship and sat inside, and the base camp of the Ming invaders flew over.
"Let's solve it all at once, and increase your strength a little bit, so that there will not be a situation where you will be targeted as soon as you show up."
Extending the ability Gatling out of the shell ship, through the windshield, Dawn flew over the largest flagship of the fleet below, firing mercilessly.
Ding Ding! The aliens on the ship were knocked over a large area, and dense small holes appeared in the deck.
And then. Maybe it's because I don't think it's fun, boom! Rumble! Rumble! Tianming also headed for the 5o meter long hoist boat. Shot dozens of soccer balls. The flagship was ruthlessly destroyed. The archers on the other ships next to him, although from time to time they shot some arrows, "Ding! Bite! Bite! Bite! "Hit the shell of the Tianming shell spaceship, all of them were bounced back, and it was itchy that even the shell ship's defense could not be broken.
"Boom!!" A second of 3oom/s football bombs, with a piercing whistling sound, on the basis of a huge hole, penetrated 3 decks in a row, and finally the bottom of this hoist ship. A big hole was punched. The sea water continued to pour in, and the hull of the ship slowly sank, sank, and finally disappeared into the sea.
"Golden melon seeds, silver melon seeds, come out and shout."
Tianming, who watched the big ship slowly sink, did not continue to attack, but lowered the spaceship. Open the shell canopy, let the golden melon seeds and silver melon seeds sitting in the spaceship stand up, each holding a trumpet-like microphone in their hands, and shouted in unison to the surrounding ships below: "PU1A!" pu1a! ”
Dangdangdang! The surrounding ships rang out with a pu1a (surrender) and laid down their arms.
The round of attacks just now killed all the leading figures in this fleet. Including the Supreme Leader. Moreover, before such a powerful force, there was no way to escape, and there was no way to win the fight, so they could only choose to surrender.
After the battle. 7 large ships and 25 small boats were seized. There are dozens of small boats, and a floating island, with a population of more than 3ooo.
As for the handling of the captives, Tianming discussed with the six elders, and Tianming didn't have a good idea, so he asked the more than 1,000 slaves who accounted for half of the captives to be liberated first, and declared them to be free people.
For the rest of the people who were in a higher rank, maybe captains or senior sailors, Tian Ming had their weapons confiscated first, and they were not reduced to slavery, but only half of them were given freedom, and they were always under the supervision of the 1oo Phuket Island Guards.
To Tianming's delight, among the more than 3ooo newcomers who have joined Phuket, there are more than 5oo people, who are craftsmen and weavers.
These craftsmen are not ordinary carpenters who make tables, chairs and benches, but shipbuilders who can repair ships and even make ships.
Moreover, Tianming saw that after they fished out some of the wood that had not sunk to the bottom of the sea, they rebuilt a 1o meter-long boat in a few days, with very flexible hands and feet, and the craftsmanship was also very good.
Craftsmen, which are relatively high-quality people, represent the scientific and technological carriers of the civilization exhibition. With these craftsmen, Tianming felt that his otherworldly sea kingdom had begun to take shape.
In addition, to Tianming's delight, it was the female weaver found on the floating island and some boats.
Tianming boarded the floating island and took a look, and the sea trees that grew in the sea were actually not fruit trees as he had guessed before, but a cotton-like plant.
This dense foliage sea tree, the kind of yellow berries that bear on the tree, is larger than an adult's fist, and after picking one, it is held in the hand and weighed very lightly. When he peeled it off, the inside of the berry was full of white silk like cotton wool, soft and soft, like a silkworm cocoon, and he immediately understood the purpose of this berry.
Ropes, cloths, clothing, and sails all need to be made of one material, that is, cotton or silk. The same is true for the Blue Star people, the clothes they wear, the ropes and sails used on the boat, all of which must use hemp, cotton and other plant fibers as raw materials. And these sea trees that bear yellow berries in front of you are an important source of this raw material.
"What's the name of this tree?"
Surprised, Tianming asked the Blue Star people who were accompanying him, and the person who was asked was the person who laid down his arms and became a prisoner after yesterday's battle, and he introduced Tianming very enthusiastically: "Mashi, Mashi!" ”
"Masi? It's a good name, it's apt. ”
Tianming, who was happy, named this kind of book 'Ma Silk Tree', and the fruit on the tree was 'Ma Silk Fruit'.
The area of the floating island is about 4ooo square meters, which is about the same area as 6 acres of land. There are 3ooo to plant hemp silk trees planted above, each plant bears 2ooo berries, but the ripe and yellowed berries are only 5o or so, most of them are green and astringent, and it is estimated from the yield that these hemp silk trees will yield hundreds of catties of hemp silk per mu in a round of picking. However, hemp silk has a wide range of uses, so in the entire fleet of 3ooo people, only a dozen people are qualified to wear hemp silk clothes that symbolize noble status.
And the hemp silk clothes, of course, are woven by more than 3oo Mi Ma weavers in this fleet, Tianming took a hemp silk shirt that has been knitted almost and wore it on his body, touched it, the texture is quite good, much more comfortable than the clothes woven with cotton he wears, there is no feeling of burr needles, and there is no silk cloth that does not absorb sweat and is easy to dry and hot.
The warmth of hemp silk is also very good, relatively strong, and belongs to the high-quality plant fiber material.
Of course, the sea was too stormy, and the Masi tree was often lost, which was why the fleet wanted to attack Phuket - plundering people, slaves, moving islands, and strengthening themselves was the eternal theme of this sea.
……
"%_Master, I brought this person here. On your knees! _%"The golden melon seeds and silver melon seeds came with a person.
The leader who went to Phuket Island before and spread the news didn't die. When he was escorted by the golden melon seeds and silver melon seeds, and came to Tianming, he just looked at Tianming in surprise and muttered a word in his mouth.
“mojinga,mojinga”
"%_ You dare to say that my master is the devil? Darn! _%" After touching the melon to hear what he said, he kicked him twice angrily.
The leader was not afraid at all, but instead looked like he had died generously, his father was killed by the devil on the flagship, he himself was supposed to be the future heir of this fleet, and now, he lost a qiē, "%_ Alien devil from hell, you won't be rampant for long, sooner or later you will be punished by the god of the sea!" _%”
"Touch the melon, what is this person talking about?"
"%_Master, this guy is saying bad things about you, I will send this man to the arms of the sea god and throw him into the sea_%"
"%_ Come on, come and kill me! Don't think that you can live for a long time if you win, people who are with the devil will not end well! _%”
"%_ You bastards are the devil! Golden melon seeds, leave this person to carry out the punishment_%" touched the melon and said to the golden melon seeds behind the leader.
Tianming really didn't know what these Blue Star people were talking about, seeing that this leader was talking about not playing, it was very rude, Tianming listened to him keep saying "mojinga, kanggu!" Still looking at himself with presumptuous and arrogant eyes, Tianming was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, a whip of supernatural ability flung over, and threw it into the distance, only to see that the leader had been thrown to the sea a hundred meters away, and after struggling in the water for half a minute, a big fish jumped up and swallowed the leader who didn't know whether to live or die.
"%_Hiss! There was silence all around, stunned, and the eyes that looked at Tianming were full of awe.
……
"Oh, oh!"
Sitting on a 3o meter gourd boat, Tianming finally couldn't help but vomit.
Originally, he thought that it was just like that when he took a sea ship, it was impossible to eat and vomit as some people described, especially since he had read a report that naval sailors had to eat 7 meals a day, and 7 meals were nutritious, so as to ensure that they had the strength to operate the rudder and complete the task.
"When you take a boat, it's just that the waves are a little bigger, and it's impossible to get seasick."
It was only 2 or 3 hours after this sentence was finished, and Tianming, who was sitting on the gourd boat, finally couldn't help but vomit.
Even in the calmest sea conditions, there are 3 meters high waves on the surface of the sea, the boat sails on it, each wave, there is a drop of 5,6 meters high, under the constant turbulence and shock, the five internal organs in the body, in the turbulence, up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside displacement, the food in the stomach and intestines is not digested before it is completed, because of this shock, the throat is sweet, and there is a feeling of vomiting outward.
When the gastric juice gushed up to his throat, Tianming swallowed it back, and a dodge entered the ability space, put on the human armor, and flew back to Phuket Island.
"It seems that this kind of hoist boat with large fluctuations can no longer be sitting, and it is seasick and dizzy."
