Since Zhao Shijie and the others left on Zhao De's small sailboat, Wang Tiezhu and Yigan have a strong plot of sea power, and they are all looking forward to taking the Sea Blue as soon as possible to see the world.

When he came to the industrial group again to urge him to come up with a new energy research plan as soon as possible, Lin Youde introduced Huang Qishui to him and introduced to him that there is currently a vegetable diesel available in Australia, which can be used only after simple filtration.

When Wang Tiehammer heard it, his feelings were good, so he quickly got it out, as long as he tried to meet any conditions, he tried to meet them within the range.

That is, ten days after Zhao De's ship left, the industrial team, with the support of Wang Tiehammer, finally got the vegetable diesel out, and that night, Wang Tiezhu couldn't wait to summon the crew of the Qianhai Blue to go to sea for sea trials.

After running around the coastline of the Manchester City base, Wang Tiehammer was very satisfied, and it seemed that this plant diesel was very good, and the performance of biodiesel was basically the same.

The successful trial voyage of the Sea Blue also made the traversers happy, in the isolated island of Australia, there is a big ship that can run that is not ordinary, especially in the face of a food crisis, there is a ship that can run up to 25 knots can be imagined.

So the next day, Wang Tiehammer continued to give the industrial team an order to increase the amount of vegetable diesel collected in an effort to fill the fuel tank of the Sea Blue, and now he was a little impatient to drive the Sea Blue to Batavia to have a look.

However, it always takes time to collect plant diesel to filter these, not a day or two can be done, in this period of time, the guys with a strong plot of sea power have a new idea, now the sea blue can run, we should also build a navy, otherwise we will not be able to deal with any danger in the future, this has been agreed by Wang Tiehammer.

When the proposal was submitted to the Executive Committee by Wang Tiehammer, the heads of the committee members were a bit big, is it too fast to set up a navy now, the Manchester City base plus the natives is 1,500 people, is it necessary to set up a navy, and the number is actually set at 50 people, if you count the crew of the Qianhai Blue, the total number of the navy will be close to 100 people.

"No, no, there are too many people," the old man Zhou Aiguo first objected: "The establishment of the navy now has little effect at all, and it will consume limited manpower, I think the number can be reduced by 20 people, and it will not be too late to expand when the personnel are sufficient in the future." ”

Although the number of people has been reduced to more than half, at least there is no slash, Wang Tiehammer is still quite satisfied with this, it is better to pass a little less than not to pass.

After his comfort, those who were not selected in the navy returned to their jobs from the new, and he also quickly whipped up the newly selected young men in the navy to carry out various training, in addition to physical training, the most is how to operate the sea blue, training for about six days, the plant diesel collected by the industrial group has been basically filtered out and filled with the sea blue fuel tank, Wang Tiehammer felt the need to take the young men to the sea for a training.

As the saying goes, a soldier who has not gone through actual combat is not a qualified soldier, no matter which line of work is the same, only those who have gone through actual combat can appreciate the many principles inside.

After discussion, Wang Tiehammer decided to take the new 20 young men to sea for a sea trial, and the route for the trial voyage was set on the route from Manchester City base to Batavia, and fortunately he chose this route, otherwise Liu Yun and others would have fallen into a crisis.

On the other side, the day after Zhao De and the others left the dock, they unfortunately encountered pirates, and the other party actually had three sloops. Judging from the appearance, it looks like a pirate from the Ming Dynasty.

"Ship owner, there are pirates, two on the left and right are chasing us, and there is a clipper in front to lead the way." A crew member will report.

"Uncle, what should I do, do you want to copy the guy." Zhao San asked eagerly on the side, he seemed to be a little nervous in his heart, this was the first time he had encountered pirates since he went to sea.

Zhao De thought for a while, walked into the inner warehouse, and came to the room where Zhao Shijie and Liu Yun lived.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Liu, there are pirates in the rear who are chasing us, and we can catch up with it in about a stick of incense, and the other party is using a clipper."

"Can we speed things up, then?" Zhao Shijie's first thought was that he couldn't let the pirates catch up, once he caught up with the goods on the ship, he would be looted without thinking, this is the best situation, once it was the worst, then he and others would be killed and thrown into the sea to become a school of fish and delicacies.

"If we don't load the goods, it's possible to escape, and when it's fully loaded, we drive very slowly, and we can't escape at all." Zhao De replied a little helplessly, in fact, he wanted to escape from the pursuit more than Zhao Shijie and others, the thousands of taels of silver left over from the sale of mirrors were all on the ship, and once the pirates came, they would definitely be searched.

"Then do we have any weapons on the ship," Liu Yun asked on the side, he was not afraid of any pirates, when he investigated a certain black boss was discovered, he was chased and cut by dozens of people without fear, let alone a group of pirates, if Zhao De and the others had the heart to resist, then he didn't have to be afraid at all, he was sure that he would kill the pirates after they boarded the ship.

"Mr. Liu won't hide it from you, the ship is equipped with big knives and sticks, these are used when encountering a small group of pirates, but we are basically not sure of winning when encountering three pirate ships of this scale."

"How do you know if you don't resist, we also have a dozen people, and there are at most twice as many pirates as us, as long as we don't let them get on the ship, we can repel them." Liu Yun said it easily, but he didn't know what the other crew members thought.

Just when Zhao De felt hurt by this, a crew member suddenly pointed to a large white iron ship that appeared in the distance, "Owner, look at what it is." ”

Zhao Shijie also looked in the direction pointed by the crew, and saw that a big white iron ship suddenly appeared on the sea about a thousand meters away from him, approaching at high speed, no need to guess, Zhao Shijie was already sure that it was the Sea Blue. With joy in his heart, he pointed in the direction of the Sea Blue, it was Wang Tiehammer and they were coming.

Wang Tiehammer on the Sea Blue also spotted Zhao De's sailboat early in the morning, because there was a big German character on his sail, and through the binoculars he clearly saw that Zhao De was being pursued by three pirate ships.

"Captain, what about the three pirate ships." A new Navy guy asked.

"Bump into them, smash them, damn pirates." Wang Iron Hammer roared angrily.

The pirate ship at the front, as it got closer and closer, saw a large white ship the size of a small mountain heading in its direction.

"Oh my God, such a big ship," the pirates seemed to forget that they were chasing a cargo ship, and they all set their eyes on the big iron ship.

"Oh no, it's coming towards us," shouted the pirate leader, Xiong Weixuan, as he quickly turned the rudder to change direction.

But the Sea Blue didn't give him a chance, and in the blink of an eye, it had already driven to them, with a loud "bang", "Bang," the wooden ship was smashed into pieces, and then the Sea Blue sailed towards the other two pirate ships, and when they found that the ship in front of them was smashed, they immediately turned around and prepared to escape, but how can the speed of the sailboat compare to the speed of the mechanical ship, the Sea Blue at full speed at 25 knots is definitely the fastest in this period.
