Chapter 448: On the Use of Biological Weapons in Naval Warfare

After the new ship was delivered, he was not in a hurry to be driven to sea, but temporarily drove to a natural dock that he had already prepared, which was also inspected by his own people, and now the ownership has been completely owned by Shi Lei, although the scale is not large, and it is impossible to dock too many ships, but it is enough to carry out the last round of secret modifications in batches for his own ships.

The real purpose is to let those trained slaves work together to equip this original merchant ship with large and small weapons. The installation positions are all under the guidance of their own craftsmen, reserved by the shipyard in advance, and are concealed and scattered in all directions of the big ship, so as to ensure that there are weapons to deal with attacks from all directions.

The guys used above will definitely not be purchased from the outside, no matter how secretive they are, there is still the possibility of leakage, in case someone catches the handle, it will not be good. Besides, the weapons of outsiders are as sharp as those made by the blacksmith uncles themselves, and they are not as durable as those made of star iron.

It's a rare opportunity to show the real level and drum up some big guys to come out, and Uncle Blacksmith almost moved all the good things at the bottom of the box to this ship.

After the completion of the transformation, although the appearance looks a little bigger, it still looks harmless to humans and animals, in fact, it has been armed to the teeth in private, and when it really goes to the open sea, it can completely show its sharp minions, which is enough to discourage most potential enemies.

The Star Iron Bed Crossbow, which can be used as a signature weapon, can finally be made into a foldable shape after the unremitting efforts of the blacksmith uncle, and if you want to retract it into the cabin, you can do it in a few simple steps, and if you want to unfold it, it is the same, and it is convenient to store at the same time, and it is not delayed at all to quickly enter the battle.

As for the combat effectiveness, not to mention, things like armor-piercing cones can only be used as ordinary arrows for this thing, and there are a lot of other arrows with unique functions.

If necessary, it can also be tied to a cable made of special silk thread and used as a whaling fork, or shot onto the opponent's ship, quickly shortening the distance between the two ships, as a sharp weapon for broadside combat, and also convenient to give full play to their own advantages in personal force.

And this star iron folding bed crossbow, there is also one of the biggest advantages, that is, this thing has all-weather combat capabilities, and will not be limited by weather conditions like ordinary compound bow crossbows.

Even on the warships of the Tang Navy, those large bed crossbows with teeth and claws really go out to sea, and they have to be taken care of as carefully as the uncle, for fear that it will get damp or hit the fire, even so, in the event of a real stormy weather, these delicate things are lying on their stomachs, and they can't be counted on at all.

And when you really get to the sea, it's basically impossible not to touch the seawater, but the damage to these things in the sea is particularly serious, and it is still irreversible permanent damage, so the real naval battle often turns into a gangster fight.

Especially for large ships that have reached a certain tonnage, physical attacks such as slapping rods, if you want to kill the opponent directly, it must not be so fast, and in the end, it is still up to the crew to play hand-to-hand combat to determine the winner.

But on this ship of the Shi family, this situation will not occur, the hand crossbows of Xingxing Iron have already withstood all kinds of tests, and the extreme bad weather will not have much impact on them, so just the existence of these folding bed crossbows is enough to ensure that their attack power is one step ahead.

Imagine that on the stormy sea, when someone else's ship wants to come and attack, you can only wait for it to get close before pulling out a knife. Just as they were still screaming to boost their morale, a rain of javelins smashed their heads and faces, and strung the poor pirates into blood gourds, and their morale was gone.

When they finally got a little closer to the distance under the huge casualties, and entered the range of the Star Iron Crossbow, the little courage that they just mustered up was all gone.

And these bed crossbows are usually hidden in the wooden house, only one shooting hole is aimed at the enemy, in the shaking sea, it is unrealistic to want to kill the crossbowmen behind through this small hole, only to be beaten, and there is no chance to fight back, this deterrent and attack power is definitely strong enough.

This kind of water warfare weapon is obviously not suitable for the Shi family's armed merchant ships, that thing can only stand outside brightly, and the low-key route of the Shi Lei family is not very compatible, except for the serious warship, and the pirate ship that is clearly engaged in business, the general armed merchant ships are not equipped with this thing, which is a bit taboo.

It is such a thing as a ramming angle, which can be completely hidden under the surface of the water, Shi Lei's big ships, and they are all full keel structure, it is not difficult to install the ramming angle, a large stack of star iron is put on, no matter how good the wood is in front of it, it can only be split like cutting tofu, and it is not easy to hinder the progress of the big ship.

These are just conventional weapons, but Uncle Blacksmith has made these common weapons into full killing weapons. In addition, Shi Lei also prepared some other small surprises for the enemies, all of which were gadgets that Shi Lei was used to.

For example, it can be used as both a lighter and an explosive beetle for incendiary bombs. The formic acid of the many gold-eating ants that have been painstakingly collected will also be equipped on various ships, and these things can be used as special ammunition to be thrown directly on enemy ships when necessary.

The unlucky enemy, if he is doused by this thing, it is better to die early and be reincarnated early, and if he is activated by the corpse water, it is estimated that the feeling will be particularly sour. Even if there are only a few people who are actually killed, this deterrent power alone can scare the enemy.

And don't forget, in addition to its strong corrosiveness, this formic acid also has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it is very flammable, as long as a small rocket falls on the enemy ship sprinkled with formic acid, boom, the whole ship will completely become a big torch.

Nowadays, the big ships are mainly made of wood, so for the need for waterproofing, brushing tung oil over and over again has become the most important, and it is also the most time-consuming process, since it is soaked in oil, it is naturally very flammable, which is why they like to use fire ships to attack the enemy's fleet in water warfare.

The existence of formic acid saves the troublesome ignition process, and if you want to set the enemy ship on fire, it is really accurate.

In addition, Shi Lei also prepared a few weasels for each ship very intimately. With the little thing weasel on the boat, you can help catch mice, solve a large part of the hidden dangers in terms of health, and at the same time the rats steal food, it is also easy to spread all kinds of diseases, and the plague that scares people to death has to be prevented.

And the weasel can also be used as a throwing weapon, to launch these little guys who have strengthened the fart function into the enemy ship, even if they don't rely on them to kill the enemy, one by one to release the stinky fart, the enemy of this boat, basically the same as the tear gas, I can't spit out the overnight meal, just count on how much attack power they have, it is definitely a good means to break up the enemy's offensive.

In many inconspicuous places on the ship, it also fully shows its own advantages, for example, all the cables on the ship have been replaced with special wire ropes that are both tough and abnormal, and are not afraid of water at all, the effect of this thing is not known how many times stronger than the common hemp rope, it is enough to catch whales, and it is overkill to replace the cable. Of course, there is no shortage of fishing materials, and it can also be used by the crew to improve their lives by themselves.

After walking through the inside and out, Shi Lei was quite satisfied with the layout of the ship, on the deck mixed with tung oil and the smell of sea, Shi Lei resolutely made up his mind, the real maiden voyage, he must appear on this big ship, together to witness the new chapter of his own family to turn a new page.

Of course, the first voyage can't go too far, that is, it is almost enough to wander around the neighborhood for a day or two, so that he can experience life at sea well, which can be regarded as making up for one of the regrets in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was a landlubber and a little afraid of water, so he never dared to go to the far sea, especially after the only ro-ro ferry he had taken in his life sank when he dropped them off on the return trip.

It's just that he still can't follow the big ship out to sea for too long, so he will leave his post without permission, which is not a trivial matter. (To be continued.) )
