Chapter 60: Coincidences in the World
The fleet was speeding on the sea, with sufficient coal, the steam engine had power again, and the ship sailed fast, and after arriving in Quanzhou, a large number of seeds were planted in Quanzhou, and the fleet went straight to the mouth of the Yellow River and sailed back to Chang'an
"Big brother, let me tell you, I was hungry at the time, it was called a chest against my back, I really wanted to sneak to the warehouse where the seeds were stored to eat a little" In the cadre cafeteria, Wei Chi Baolin was trying his best to describe his hunger at sea.
Cheng Chu listened silently to the little stars in his eyes, and he now regretted very much why he couldn't experience such a thrilling thing with the fleet.
Xu Yang was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't follow, if his thin little body was floating on the Pacific Ocean, maybe he would be hungry for a few days and burp.
"Big brother, let me tell you, there is really everything on the American island, I saw with my own eyes a kind of meat-eating flower, which scared me at the time, and I ran away."
I have to say that people who have been at sea for a long time talk a lot, and now Wei Chi Baolin is this symptom.
Xu Yang listened very carefully out of politeness, thinking that what Yu Chi Baolin encountered should be Cordyceps, this kind of pitcher plant did not expect to exist 1,400 years ago.
"Later, I ordered the sergeant to pick this flower back, when the flower actually ate a sergeant, more than a dozen of us rushed up with a machete and slashed hard, only to save the sergeant, at that time he was soaked in the water in the flower's stomach, already unconscious, if it was a little later, I estimate that his life will not be guaranteed." Yu Chi Baolin said triumphantly.
These words attracted Xu Yang's attention, "You're talking about flowers that can eat people?" ”
"Of course, you can eat people in one bite." Wei Chi said in a true scripture.
"Are you sure you're not kidding, how can you eat something as big as a pitcher plant?" Xu Yang was a little incredulous.
"Hey, hey." Yu Chi Baolin showed an expression of surprise, and only heard him say: "I knew you didn't believe it, so I brought it back, hehe, and put it in my cabin, but because it hadn't been watered for too long, it had died of thirst." ”
Cheng Chumo suddenly shouted that he wanted to go and see the collected man-eating flowers together, and Xu Yang also followed curiously.
Yu Chi Baolin's cabin was not far from the cafeteria on the second floor, and several people quickly arrived at his small cabin, as a pioneer, Yu Chi Baolin's room was very large, but when the door was opened, the smell unique to men was also extremely strong.
"Damn, Pauling, it's been a long time since you've washed your feet." Xu Yang was almost smoked by this biological weapon, and the smell of his feet mixed with the smell of mold was a rare smell in the world.
"Hehe, there's no water on the boat, and I haven't taken a fresh water bath in almost two months." Yu Chi Baolin touched his head embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly.
I have to say, there is a special person to clean it, Wei Chi's room is still relatively tidy, there are some small decorations in the room, and some gold nuggets and stones from the Americas, there are a few potted plants in the corner of the room, but they have not been watered for a long time, and those plants are obviously all about to die.
One of the largest plants in the pot withered the most, but even though it had shrunk a lot, it was still the size of a man.
Cheng Chumo circled around the plant, amazed.
Wei Chi introduced even more excitedly: "This man-eating flower was originally three times the size of the current one, but now it is completely dead, and it has become so small now." ”
Xu Yang also surrounded this man-eating flower, but he didn't expect that there was this kind of xenomorph 1,400 years ago, and it would be in the newspaper in the future.
There were a few other plants in the corner, most of them dead, but there was still one plant, which was blooming and pink, but it had been standing proudly.
Somehow, Xu Yang had a good impression of this flower, "Wei Chi, can you give me this flower?" ”
"Big brother can take it whenever he wants." Yu Chi Baolin said boldly.
"Is this flower poisonous?" Xu Yang asked carefully.
"I don't think there is, but those natives of the Americas like to collect these flowers when it's dark, I don't know why."
As soon as Xu Yang heard that the natives often collected, he nodded reassuringly, picked up the small pot with pink flowers, and handed it to Liu Qidao next to him: "Water it and put it in my room, don't let it die, it's a plant thousands of miles away." ”
"Okay, don't worry." Liu Qi received the will and ran out to water it.
"Let's go to the captain's room now, now that we have passed Dengzhou, it is estimated that we will soon be able to reach the mouth of the Yellow River." Xu Yangjian said.
"Okay, then listen to the eldest brother, we are not far from Chang'an after entering the Yellow River, I really miss Chang'an's roast chicken now." Wei Chi kept his mouth saliva
On the calm sea, the fleet drove rapidly, and the huge warships rowed white waves on the sea, sailing towards Chang'an through thorns and thorns.
Niu Jinda was drinking tea in the captain's room, the fleet finally returned to the ship, and now most of the overseas seeds have been planted in Quanzhou, and some are ready to be transplanted to the vicinity of Chang'an, with a yield of fifty stones per mu, Niu Jinda can't wait to see the grain everywhere in Datang.
"Report! ~~" A small servant quickly sent the lookout on the captain's room and rushed down, "General Qiyu has discovered an unknown warship!" ”
"Huh?" Niu Jinda's brows furrowed, now that it is the realm of the Tang Dynasty, how could he encounter an unknown warship? "Isn't it my Datang ship?"
"General Qiyu, it shouldn't be, judging from the appearance of which warships, it should be some pirate ships of the Japanese Kingdom."
"Wa Guo?!" Niu Jinda's tone showed a hint of unkindness, "Pass my order, confirm the identity of the opponent's warship, if it is really a pirate ship of the Japanese country, immediately open fire and sink it!" ”
The islands of the Japanese kingdom have been frequently harassing villages along the coast of China, and the Lingnan sailors have participated in the extermination of the Japanese invaders dozens of times, each time they can only frustrate their spirit, but they cannot hurt their roots, because these Japanese invaders see that something is wrong, they run faster than anyone else, and they are simply caught, and if they can sink the Japanese ships this time, they will definitely not dare to violate the Datang maritime border again in the short term.
The fleet's steam engine was activated, the speed was amazing, and it soon caught up with the six sea ships, from the outside, it was the pirate ship of the Japanese country, yes, the fleet sent two escort boats to turn on the steam engine to accelerate, and asked the other party to report their identity with the flag, but there was no response.
The boats were greeted by bows and arrows fired from the Japanese boats.
"General Qiyu, I have already seen from the telescope that those people are not from the Tang Dynasty, they are all dressed as Japanese robbers, our escort express ship went up to ask with the flag, and was shot by the bow and arrow on the opposite side first." Ordered the little girl to come back and report urgently.
"If it's really a wolf, the biography will order! Activate four cannons, start shelling, and sink all the Japanese warships! ”
"No!"
"The Lord will command! Four guns, shelling! Sink them all! ”
Dozens of soldiers hurriedly opened the lock and ran into the artillery room, stuffed the artillery ammunition into the huge barrel, and then began to aim at the six Japanese warships not far ahead.
The rain of arrows from the Japanese is getting denser and denser, Xu Yang is hiding in his cabin, through the glass window, looking at the rain of arrows outside, he is very scared, strictly speaking, this is the first time he has seen the battle between civilization and civilization, those islands of the Japanese country are obviously extremely vicious, Xu Yang can see their ugly shouting faces through the telescope.
"Little Japan, let's get ready to eat cannons." Although Xu Yang didn't go to the captain's room, he knew that Niu Jinda must have given the order.
Sure enough, just as he had finished thinking about the artillery, he heard four huge cannon sounds at the bottom of the ship.
"Bang bang bang!" The hull of the ship shook from the shelling.
The little pink plant on the table was almost shaken off.
Xu Yang looked through the window and found that the accuracy of the shelling this time was too poor, and the three shells flew directly into the sea, and only one hit the place, and the place that hit was only the stern, only a few useless cabins were damaged.
Those would-be robbers were taken aback by the sound of the cannons, but when they saw that they had nothing to lose, many of them laughed, although there were many ships in the ocean-going fleet, but for these outlaws, their heads should no longer be on their belts, and when they saw that they couldn't run away, they thought about dying vigorously.
The rain of arrows became more and more intensive, and a lot of arrows had been inserted in the book of the 'Hongyun', Niu Jinda was a little angry, and ordered that if the next shelling was not accurate, the soldiers who fired the cannon would hit thirty boards.
Sure enough, the accuracy of the next shelling was amazing, none of the four shells missed, all of them hit, and the four Japanese ships exploded, which scared those Japanese people stupid.
Xu Yang looked through the glass window and looked at the naval battle outside the window with relish, this was still a one-sided massacre, but this time it was only those Japanese Japanese pirates who were killed.
In the thick smoke of the sea, Xu Yang suddenly saw an escape boat, an obese widow rowing hard, and on the boat was a sturdy woman in white R1152
