Chapter 13: Deus Ex
Under the deterrence of the four bazookas, the Valkyrie put down the dinghy and picked up the rebels from the shore in batches, and after the last group of rebels boarded the ship and completely controlled the three-masted galleon with a displacement of 800 tons by virtue of their numerical superiority, Yang Feng and the four finally put down the bazooka, then put the safety lid on, put the bazooka into the box, and then began to transfer his personal cargo to the Valkyrie.
That is, the nearly one ton of weapons and ammunition he hid in the cargo hold of the sand ship.
It's just that these things are locked in boxes, only he carries the key, and after these things are transported to the Valkyrie, they are immediately sent to the captain's room, and the best room on this ship belongs to Yang Feng, as for the original owner, where he likes to go.
Captain Wallace didn't ask much about these mysterious weapons, he knew that Yang Feng couldn't give them to him, but Yang Feng's personal belongings on the table afterwards made his eyes straighten in shock.
The various silver vessels, jugs, cups, and saucers, as smooth as a mirror, can reflect the figure of a person like a mirror, and are not inferior to the bronze mirror still used at this time, and he swears that he has never seen the same kind of utensils at the banquet of the Mughal emperor.
Well, this is an aluminum alloy.
And aluminum alloy utensils is also an important development direction of Yang Feng in the future, he only needs to solve the electrolytic aluminum technology, electricity can be solved by hydropower stations, electrolytic cells can be found slowly, although the cost may be very high, but if you go to the upper route, this is not a problem at all, you must know that aluminum is an absolute precious metal before the invention of electrolysis technology, take low-end aluminum alloy as tableware, take high-end aluminum alloy as jewelry, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to draw gold and silver from Europe.
A snowflake ball that is about the same size as his hand, but can glow on its own, while his is non-luminous, and looks like a magician's mysterious crystal ball.
Well, this is with a battery, and the original one in his hand is also there, but Yang Feng dismantled it, not that he is afraid of this technology leakage, but the simple snowflake ball can be made by the craftsman himself in the future, this thing is nothing more than porcelain flowers, glass covers, bases and things inside, in this era it is fully equipped with manufacturing conditions, but the battery and the bulb are miracles, and the former can go and the latter can be used as a luxury in the future.
And in this Chinese William. Wallace actually had a coin-sized clock tied to his wrist with a belt.
God, he swore that neither England nor Switzerland would have been able to find a craftsman who made a clock so small, it was not a clock, it was simply an artifact.
There is also a small box, the box with the lid open, and inside is a vivid bird, constantly flapping its wings and making a pleasant musical sound.
Magic, this is absolute magic, magic that will drive those noble girls crazy!
"Yang, Mr. Yang, can this thing be sold?"
He stammered.
"This?"
Yang Feng looked at the music box on his finger, then shook his head and said, "This is not good, this is my maid's favorite, she will be unhappy if I give it to others." ”
"Still,"
In Captain Wallace's disappointed gaze, he then said, "But I can make more and more." ”
This is the same as clocks, it is purely a thing of mechanical craftsmanship, although no one in China will make it yet, but it can be cultivated by itself, like many old craftsmen who are now making jewelry, give them some advanced equipment, they are fully capable of making clocks, so that they can also drive an industrial project, and the same is true for the music box, the earliest music box was invented nearly a hundred years later, this span is not very large, after all, this is not the era of the explosion of science and technology.
"And when will you be able to build it?"
Wallace said excitedly.
"Well, it's hard to say, the main thing is that I don't have time to do it, and now I'm very busy, I have to be busy with my national liberation cause, how can I have so much time to make these little toys, but if I make it, I will definitely be the first to inform you."
Yang Feng said.
How could he have this thing now, purely mechanical estimates are only available to collectors or museums, he has to find it first, and he found this from an antique collector now.
"Marshal, the Qing soldiers are here!"
Monk Yinian hurriedly interrupted their conversation.
Yang Feng quickly stood up and ran to the aft deck with Captain Wallace.
Captain Wallace first took out a cannon-like monocular, opened it very chicly, looked at a large number of Qing warships on the sea in the distance and said: "They have cannons on their ships, we can't fight for you, we are merchants, aren't we, uh?!" ”
Only then did he realize that Yang Feng beside him was slowly taking out a very small, high-tech binocular, looking at the sea in the distance like him.
"Captain, I need you to change your role!"
Yang Feng said.
"It can't be! We are not mercenaries! ”
"The music box is yours!"
"Lads, pull out the cannons! Raise all your sails and get ready for battle! But Mr. Yang, where are we going next? ”
"Throw your cargo into the sea, and we must rush out before they can complete the siege."
"But ......"
"It's nothing, that music box is enough for this boatload of rotten cotton, not to mention that no one necessarily wants your cotton."
"Okay!"
Captain Wallace gritted his teeth and said, in fact, it was useless for him to disagree, after more than two hundred rebels got on the ship, they had completely controlled the ship, and at this time, those rebels had already begun to throw goods out, and the weight loss after throwing away the goods made the speed of the ship quickly begin to increase.
"Lower our flag, Mr. Yang, this ship needs to be replaced with your flag, this is not a war between the East India Company and your emperor, we cannot fight under the company's flag."
At this time, Wallace remembered an important question again, and hurriedly said to Yang Feng.
"Flag, well, we do need our own flag, find a red cloth."
Yang Feng said.
Soon the two subordinates took out a roll of red cotton cloth from the cargo hold, most of the ships are cotton, the most important thing is this thing, after taking it, Yang Feng called Han Ying and the three women to quickly cut off a square piece, and then found paint, Yang Feng quickly painted a round of white sun and yellow moon in the middle, Daming Shanghuode is red, the sun and the moon hug each other, this is the national flag of Daming.
"Hang it up!"
Yang Feng threw the paintbrush and said.
Soon the flag fluttered on the mast of the Valkyrie, and at this time the pursuing Qing warships had already opened fire, but because the distance was too far, the cannonballs were left behind, but their troubles were not over, and at the same time a large number of warships were killed from the south, and by the wind directly cut to the front of the course.
"Mr. Yang, what did you do to make them so excited?"
Wallace looked at the hundreds of warships from the north and south fleets, and said to Yang Feng with a stunned face.
"It's nothing, I splashed their emperor with thick sulfuric acid in Beijing more than a month ago?"
Yang Feng said indifferently.
"Huh?!"
Wallace gave him a thumbs up in amazement.
"How about going to the Ryukyus? It was the closest way to go, and the ships were inshore, so it was difficult for them to catch up there. ”
He said suddenly.
"Don't go, just go over and go south to Guangzhou, and then you get off the boat in Macau, and leave a few employees for me to help drive the boat."
Yang Feng said.
"Well, now you're the boss."
Wallace said with a shrug.
Obviously, it is no longer possible to not fight, the Qing warships coming from the south have formed an arc to surround them, and then the cannons on the ship sprayed flames, and the shells continued to fall in front of the Valkyrie, and the gun doors of the same Valkyrie were also quickly opened, showing twenty-four cannons on the side side, and those British sailors operated the cannons to aim, quickly pulled the gun ropes and fired, while those rebels were ready to use their weapons and be ready for broadside battles at any time.
In fact, at this time, the gap between the firearms level of the two sides was not large, the British artillery was not much stronger than the Qing army, and there was no legendary flowering shell, that thing was not used on warships before the invention of wooden butts and woodpipe fuses, and at this time, because of the material of the shells, the cannon generally did not dare to use, it was easy to break without being discharged, only the short-barreled mortar was used more.
After a short artillery battle, a Qing warship was soon sunk, and the Valkyrie was hit by two shells.
"Damn, you have to figure it out, I'm an armed merchant ship, not the Sea Sovereign!"
Wallace shouted in discouragement.
"The Sea Sovereign should have burned, right?"
"It's not important now, okay?"
"Okay, hold on, close the distance, don't worry, I promise to get you out!"
Yang Feng shouted to the chaotic subordinates on the deck, at this time the pirate brother walked to Yang Feng with a large wooden box, he immediately opened the lock and quickly took out an unloaded rocket launcher, loaded a Wen ya rocket as quickly as possible, and then took out another one and said to the eldest of the pirate brothers: "Wait a while, I will give me the loaded bomb after I hit it, and then you learn what I just did, load the vacated launcher, everything else is easy to say, just pay attention to the stability when turning, otherwise it is easy to damage this thing." ”
The pirate brothers nodded hurriedly.
At the same time, Lord Chen Xiang and Monk Yinian also walked up to Yang Feng with a box, and after opening the box, it was filled with grenades.
"Give it to the brothers who have used it, and once the Tartar ship rushes up, throw it directly into their ship."
Yang Feng said.
That's when Captain Wallace saw a problem.
"Why don't you give this thing to someone else?"
He pointed to the bazooka on Yang Feng's shoulder and said.
"It's easy, because I'm the only one who can use it."
Yang Feng said very purely.
"Huh?! You liar! ”
Wallace said speechlessly.
