Chapter Ninety-Seven: Indigenous Companions
Rise of Nations game Pacific Zone monitoring room
"Head! A player enters the 013 quest map. ”
"Oh......? I'll see that the one with Mike's relics can withstand a 24x time acceleration, and I'm really lucky, so keep watching and see what changes he brings to our research. ”
Of course, the union of so many countries is not as simple as making games, and another meaning of the existence of the game of the rise of nations is to use the data flow of the game to study digital life. Although the artificial intelligence created by technology is advanced, it is still far from real life.
Therefore, some dungeons in the Rise of Nations game are researched in addition to increasing the fun of the game, and the 1:24 time stream is to speed up the progress of the dungeon. Of course, they don't mind the player's accidental intrusion, secret research does not mean that it is done behind closed doors, there is no experience available to create life, and success may be an accident.
Entering the game, he still appeared on the Tomato, and Gangzi was not in a leisurely mood. Private chat, invalid, regional channel, invalid, national channel, also invalid, it's really two isolated worlds, but fortunately, the attributes and skills on the body can still be used, so as not to become a powerless "mortal".
Continue to move north, until now there is no turning back, can only go hard, although Gangzi guessed that the makers of the rise of the country may have other plans, but he did not leave immediately, "If you want to cover up the world, how can you leave a vortex and Mike's notes and charts in the rise of the country?" Gangzi still has a bit of a fluke mentality.
He hid alone in the captain's room, desperately smashing Mike's notes.
"Come out, you come out, where the hell is Mike? You shut up and think you're okay. ”
All kinds of threats are ineffective, and Mike's notes just don't jump a word more.
"Commander, ships have been spotted ahead."
There are boats! Gangzi hurriedly ran out and took out his binoculars to look.
It was three galleys, a little larger than a sloop, with five oars on each side of the ship, rowing hard to chase the sea.
"Yo ......, peers!"
Three galleys, two of which were slightly dragged behind with pirate flags, called Gangzi to recognize their identities at a glance, and a galleys in front of them should be their prey, and the fat sheep desperately ran away, while shooting the pirate ships that wanted to come up with their ballistas.
The ballista is a catapult weapon developed from the crossbow, which is used to fire stone projectiles and crossbow spears, and the range and power are of course not comparable to that of artillery, and they can also threaten the crew, and the damage to the hull is negligible. The paddlers were hiding below deck, and the pirates who were about to jump were hiding behind cover, so the attack of the galleys in front was just doing useless work, just psychological comfort.
Tracking the two sides north, these natives galleys were no match for the speed of the professionally seafaring brigs, and the Tomato approached quickly from behind.
"Artillery preparation, target pirates, fire as soon as they come into range."
Gangzi gave the order to attack, and the sailors on the Tomato immediately entered combat mode, the gun doors on the side of the ship opened, the muzzles of the guns poked out, and the gunpowder shells were loaded, constantly adjusting the angle as the Tomato moved.
Gangzi didn't go to help the pirates, and now that the pirates have the chance to win, the Tomato's sudden intervention is easy to attract suspicion, and attacking the pirates is a lifesaver for the galleys in front, and with this relationship, you will definitely be able to get more information.
Another reason is that one ship is easier to control than two ships, and the galleys need manpower to paddle, and the staffing is more than that of the same load, and the people on the two pirate oars must add up to more people than the tomato, and once they are close to each other, the tomato has problems protecting itself.
The appearance of the Tomato attracted the attention of both sides, but due to the distance, the chasing parties were still competing with each other and did not have enough vigilance against the Tomato.
From the side, the pirate ship and the fugitive galleys were clearly separated under the firing range of the guns, and the seven guns on the side of the Tomato opened fire at the same time. The roar of the earth-shattering cannon resounded throughout the quiet sea, and the three galleys paused at the same time, and the cannonballs fell into the sea and splashed seven waves.
The three galleys were apparently frightened by the Tomato's distance, the range of their guns more than three times that of their strongest ballista, and the intense sound and light effects of the guns that they had never seen before. Seeing that the opponent's "ballista" landed all around him, the pirates immediately gave up the pursuit of the galleys in front of them and turned around and drove towards the Tomato.
Artillery has not yet been recognized by the world, and the pirates still think that the Tomato fires only a ballista with a long range, and the lethality of the ballista is not afraid even if it hits farther, and the size of the Tomato looks like a bigger fat sheep. Originally, the pirate had prey on his mouth, and he didn't plan to make trouble with this "large" sailing ship that appeared here rashly, but he didn't expect that the other party not only didn't appreciate it, but also dared to attack, so he looked down on the pirate too much, robbed him!
The pirates abandoned the galleys in front of them and headed for the Tomato, but instead of escaping, the galleys moved closer to the Tomato and increased the frequency of shooting at the pirate ships, intending to fight the pirates' robbery with the Tomato.
"The people on this galley boat are really gracious characters, and they must make good friends later."
The changes at sea had been watched by Gangzi through the binoculars, and the tomato's cannon was quickly reloaded, and another salvo was fired at the pirate ship.
The pirates didn't know the artillery existed, and certainly didn't know how stupid it was to rush straight and leak their bow to the gun-filled side.
Seven shells hit the deck of the pirate ship twice, and the pirates fully experienced the power of a cannon, destroying all obstacles in their passing, smashing the bunker, and the pirates hiding behind rolled over, and the direct hit was sure to die instantly, and even if it was just wiped away, a piece of flesh and blood would be taken away. The swooping iron ball broke all the pirates' perception of "ballistas", what the hell did the opponent use to hit a solid iron ball so far?!
Just when the pirates couldn't figure out the situation, the Tomato fired another volley, followed by another shelling at Gangzi's encouragement. The front half of the pirate ship led by the ship was smashed, and the solid iron ball drilled through the deck into the cabin inside, and below was the cabin of the oarsman, and the vast enclosed space became a human purgatory at the moment when the cannonball entered, and the cannonball continued to bounce on the wall of the ship, colliding and screaming, and several iron balls jumped back and forth and were swept away in the cabin.
This is the real world of evolution, without the game's blurring of gore to take care of the player's emotions, everything is infinitely close to reality, and everything is no longer a data that pleases the player. In the cabin, sunlight poured in through the narrow windows, and the broken oars lay scattered in the water in the bilge, and the bright red blood pooled from everywhere, and soon gathered in every low-lying corner. The wounded pirate cried out loudly, and in vain tried to grasp the light he could never hold.
Gangzi on the Tomato didn't know what he had done, he still looked down on the world with the eyes of a game, and when he saw a pirate ship stopped, he shouted happily: "Well done, these natives don't know how to fight at all, we have to be abused, load the shells, adjust the muzzles, and try to stop another pirate ship within three salvos." ”
The pirates finally realized that the ship that suddenly appeared was not the fat sheep they wanted, but the real man-eating lion, the weapon that broke the common sense with a thunderclap that knocked their ship immobile after a few rounds of roaring. The pirates on the stopped pirate ship lay on the side of the ship and shouted for help, while another ship docked to save the people, and they were greeted by another volley of the Tomato's artillery.
The pirates still didn't know how to face a ship with artillery at sea, and the two ships docked in the middle of the sea and became the target ships that the sailfish pirate fleet usually used to practice their skills, and the flying projectiles quickly occupied the sky above the two pirate ships, and the cannonballs hit frequently, and the terrifying destructive power made all the pirates dare not approach the empty deck, and they all hid behind the cabin bunker and shivered, completely ignoring the fact that these things did not have much protection for their lives.
No one dared to sail, no one dared to steer, the ships began to flood, and the pirates buried their heads and waited for the last moment of their lives.
In the telescope, there was not a single figure on the pirate deck, the hull was riddled with holes, Gangzi had lost interest in ravaging the weak, and of course for another reason, he did not know if he could get supplies of gunpowder and shells in this world.
The galleys, pursued by the pirates, had wanted to come to help fight the pirates, but were soon stopped on the spot by the might of the Tomato, and now they found themselves in the ridiculous support of the ship, and they could not figure out whether the ship that appeared so quickly and could easily destroy a pirate was friend or foe. By comparing them, they knew that they had entered the range of that terrible weapon, and they were afraid of being attacked, so they did not dare to move forward, nor did they dare to retreat, so they had to wave a white flag on the mast, and everything was left to fate.
Ignoring the sinking pirate ship, Gangzi glanced at the galleys and shouted to the flagbearer in the gondola at the top of the mast: "Ask them who they are!" ”
After asking, Gangzi still speculated in his heart whether the other party could understand the flag language. Fortunately, this world is based on the evolution of the earth, and although there are some obstacles to the communication of flag language, the general meaning can still be communicated.
"We are the merchant ships of the **kingdom**, ***thank you for your help."
"Tell them to send two men in small boats, and not to bring weapons."
The other party was shocked by the power of unknown weapons, and Gangzi was not afraid of these natives who had never been in contact with him, but he still needed someone to solve his doubts about the unknown world.
The flag was raised, and the galleys soon lowered a dinghy and headed for the Tomato with two men.
Wearing a green rattan armor, covered with a pale green cloth robe, the armor exposed on the chest is embroidered with a beautiful pattern with silver wire, the figure is slender and slender, the appearance is good, the chin is slightly pointed, the two sword eyebrows are tilted upward, the golden hair is draped over the shoulders like silk, and two pointed ears are exposed in the hair.
Genie! The other party is actually an elf in a Western novel!
