Chapter 280: The Influence of the Behemoth
These steamships were rugged in appearance and gave a sense of power, and in fact they were, they were very powerful, cargo ships carrying all kinds of cargo.
In the past, these large ships traveled between the mainland and other discovered islands, transporting coal or crude oil.
"This ...... Professor Pound what are they going to do, and then they want to use these ships to pull the corpses of those two giant beasts back? ”
Zhao Cheng looked at Professor Pang De not far away, and a shocking thought came to his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but this was too absurd.
"Zhao Cheng, lead the way."
Professor Pound walked over to Zhao Cheng and said a word, and then led him towards one of the huge ships.
This big ship is more than 100 meters long, with two huge chimneys in the front and rear, which looks very shocking.
Zhao Cheng is still a little foggy now, and he got on the big boat like Du Qiu.
The next thing I saw was Professor Pound's order, and then the huge fleet headed forward.
"It's not really going to be for these big ships to tow those two islands back."
The corners of Zhao Cheng's mouth twitched, and he looked left and right, and the dense boats around him looked extremely shocking.
Of course, although it looks dense, each ship has a certain safety distance from each other to avoid collisions.
He found that more than half of the ships were carrying coal, and it seemed that they were supply ships.
"Because we didn't know how long we would end up at sea, we made a lot of preparations at once."
Professor Pang De walked up to Zhao Cheng's side and said to him, "Our ships are all high-powered ships, and these ships should be able to drag the corpses of those two giant beasts." ”
According to Zhao Cheng's description, the two terrifying beasts were both more than 5 kilometers in size, and if they were not fully prepared, they might not be able to get them back.
Zhao Cheng accepted Professor Pound's plan, and was amazed by the importance that the country attached to the corpse of the giant beast.
In such a short period of time, such a huge fleet was assembled, aiming to bring back the corpses of the two giant beasts, and the importance that the country attached to the corpses of the giant beasts was still beyond his imagination.
This kind of steamship was a lot faster than Zhao Cheng's wind sailboat, and about two months later, they came to the sea where Zhao Cheng and they encountered the corpse of the giant beast.
As Zhao Cheng worried, the two islands were nowhere to be found, but everyone did not have much frustration, and at the beginning, everyone was psychologically prepared accordingly.
They began to search the nearby sea, and after five or six days of wandering around, they finally saw the corpses of the two giant beasts in a sea area.
"Hahahaha."
Professor Pound laughed heartily, "I finally found it." ”
He couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and he danced like a child who had received a favorite toy.
"Quick, get over there, I'm going to land and see for myself."
Zhao Cheng and the huge ship they were on soon docked, and then Professor Pound jumped onto the "island" with two light steps.
The "Turtle Island" he went on saw the big pit that Zhao Cheng had dug before.
He jumped out of the pit, then probed at the bottom of the pit and finally determined that it was the corpse of the beast.
"Xiao Zhao, you have made great contributions, don't worry, after I go back this time, I will personally ask for a large bounty for you."
Professor Pang De made a promise to Zhao Cheng, but Zhao Cheng and them were so happy, and now their money was basically certain.
The thought that they could buy a sturdier ship and then be able to surf the sea as they pleased, gave them a wave of excitement.
"First remove the impurities from the two giant beasts."
Professor Pound gave the order, and then a large number of soldiers were dispatched, and they took shovels and other things, picked up the corpses of the two giant beasts, and began to work.
The soil on the top is generally very crunchy, but in some places it is wrapped in grass roots and tree roots, and it becomes hard like concrete, which is not easy to handle.
But there is great strength in numbers, and the corpses of these two terrifying beasts were cleaned up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But even so, they did this work for more than half a month.
"Sss
Professor Pound looked at the two terrifying beasts opposite him at this time, and couldn't help but gasp.
The true appearance of two giant beasts fell into his eyes, one of which was a turtle, and the other was a terrifying python.
Not to mention that such a giant beast itself will bring an unparalleled sense of oppression, and in terms of appearance alone, these two guys are also worthy of making his heart flutter.
Like a giant turtle, it has toes and nails on its toes, like a giant scythe.
The upper and lower jaws on the head are not completely closed, leaving a slight gap, so you can see the hideous teeth inside.
As for the giant python, not to mention it, the word "python" is enough to explain a lot of things, cold-blooded and terrifying......
After being shocked for a while, Professor Pound immediately began to organize his hands to tie the prepared iron cables and other objects to the bodies or limbs of the two giant beasts.
A huge iron cable was attached to the body of the two giant beasts, like a spider web extending out, but the other end of the "spider silk" of this spider web was connected to a huge ship.
When all this was done, Pound began to give orders, and the large boilers of all the ships were activated at this moment, forming a huge force that wanted to push the ships forward.
The iron cables were completely tightened, and from the chimneys of the big ships, puffs of thick black smoke puffed out, indicating that the big ships were starting to exert themselves wildly.
Professor Pang De and Zhao Cheng stood on the deck of the big ship in the middle, and they watched the scene behind them, and their hearts couldn't help but rise.
Quack, quack.
The tense sound of the iron rope tightening, under the nervous gaze of Professor Pang De and Zhao Cheng, the corpses of the two giant beasts behind suddenly moved.
"Good!!"
Professor Pound and the others immediately let out a cheer, and the nervous mind relaxed a little at this moment, and for a moment, sweat broke out on his forehead and waistcoat.
The fleet began to move straight forward, heading for the way it had come.
They were moving at a slower pace, both because of the two tanks, and because many of the boats were so close to each other that they had to move at a slower pace to avoid collisions.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and they were finally going back to the mainland.
Before the fleet arrived at the port, the mainland got the news, not only the official, but also the people, the fleet was too conspicuous, and many ordinary people spontaneously came to the port, ready to see the dignity of the corpses of these two giant beasts.
On this morning, in the port of Donggang Xicheng, it has become a crowd of people, all of them are ordinary people of Donggang City, everyone stands at the port, looking at the sea in the distance, showing what is waiting for.
At the beginning of the rising sun, many people felt anxious in their hearts, and when they talked with their companions next to them, they were also muttering words such as "why haven't you come yet".
After another hour or so, among the group of people standing at the front, suddenly a sharp-eyed man pointed to the opposite side and shouted, "Here, here!" ”
His words lifted the spirits of all the people in the port, and then they all looked across in unison, and sure enough, they saw a huge fleet of ships heading this way.
Behind the flotilla, there were two huge mountain-like objects.
The people were excited, and the flotilla they were waiting for had returned, and one by one they were looking forward to it, waiting for the flotilla to get closer.
It's not just ordinary people who care about these things, but also reporters who are here to interact with each other live.
