Chapter 44 Firebamboo

Whether it is Zheng He's book or the material list on the drawings for the transformation of giant treasure ships, it is clear that fire bamboo is an important material for making sails for hard-sailed warships. But now that all the bamboos here are dead, the other places where they grow have not yet been found, and there is no complete set of blueprints for the giant treasure ship, and it is impossible to build it.

Alas...... Fortunately, there are still giant fortune ships to build, and it is not in vain.

"The people outside are probably in a hurry, let's go out, there may be a naval battle to fight against the Xuzhou Langya fleet."

Gangzi put away the two drawings and beckoned everyone to prepare to leave. At this time, he saw that Christol was lying on the stone wall, and the black hood had been lifted, revealing special pointed ears that were tightly attached to the rock, moving little by little between the words and listening.

"Ah...... Genie! "The hairstyle is not down, and when he saw Christol, he grew his mouth and yelled.

"Shhhh......h ”

Gangzi knew that the elf's facial features felt very powerful, and Christol must have discovered something about such a strange behavior despite the leakage of his identity.

As Gang Zi expected, Christol quickly found a corner of the wall, then picked up a stone on the ground and slowly knocked it.

Soon Christol threw away the stone and turned to Gangzi and said, "I feel the smell of plants behind this stone wall, this place is the weakest part of the stone wall, if there are tools, the three of us should be able to dig a hole quickly." ”

"We prepared some pickaxes when we explored the cave, and now I still have a few in my backpack. ”

So what are you waiting for, a flame rose again in Gangzi's extinguished heart.

After handing out the tools, the three of them smashed hard against the area that Christol had marked on the stone wall.

The volcanic sedimentary rock was not hard, and the stone wall quickly sank into it under the knock of three people, advancing a distance of about a meter. Gangzi felt a loose hand when he went down with a pickaxe, "It's over!" ”

Gangzi shook and pulled out the pickaxe, a gap leaked out, and a stream of hot gas gushed out, quickly raising the temperature around it. Seeing the red light reflected from the gap, the hairstyle said excitedly: "Great, we found the fire eye, the plant that the elf said is probably the remnant of the fire, but the temperature inside is too high, we should go out and call more people to open the hole and draw the heat out." We can't go in until the temperature inside drops down. ”

Christol said dissatisfiedly: "Don't call elves, elves, you reminded me of the rude dwarf, my name is Christol. Bucknar, you can call me Christol, and please keep my and my race's existence a secret. ”

The hairstyle reminds me of the Gangzi "Phantom Archer" troops, damn! This is a group of real phantom shooters.

Ignoring the worship of the elves without paying attention to the hairstyle, the high temperature had already made the gangzi man drip, and he blocked the gap with a stone to seal the heat that was ejected: "The hairstyle is not down, and it is right." We really need to get the heat out before we can get in, and we don't know how thick it is in other places, and if we use gunpowder to blow it up, will it cause a collapse? ”

When asked about the profession, the hairstyle did not fall and said, "If you use gunpowder...... Need to look at the situation inside. If an active volcano erupts again, the bamboo inside may be washed away. ”

Gangzi said worriedly: "But I don't want too many people here to know, if you dig with a small amount of manpower, I don't know when I will dig it." ”

Christol on the side said; "I mastered a trick to lower the heat, and I don't know if it works."

The hairstyle is not down, and he is overjoyed: "How can I forget that the elves are all great mages." A single spell can slice through the volcano. ”

The green light flashed in Christol's hand, and the cool breath overflowed, and he blessed the magic on Gangzi and the hairstyle on his body. He said with a smile: "If I had the ability you said, Lord Gangzi wouldn't have to bother looking for firecrackers." ”

The green light enveloped the whole body, and I felt the hot temperature around me immediately put it out of my body. Feeling cool, Gangzi didn't waste time explaining the matter of elven magic to the hairstyle, he picked up the mining pickaxe and smashed it against the stone wall.

Soon a hole was dug into which a man could bend down.

Gangzi was the first to enter, and the flames that flickered in front of him from time to time reflected the flickering light and darkness of the passage. Bending down and walking for more than ten meters, the front suddenly opened up, and a shaft-shaped fire eye was revealed in front of the eyes of the three Gangzi.

It is more than 200 meters in diameter and is surrounded by straight cliffs. Looking down, about a hundred meters deep is the bottom of the eye of fire, the blazing magma is tumbling in it like a boiling soup, from time to time there are bubbles rising from below and exploding on the surface, the gas inside is ignited, turning into a ball of fire and rushing up, Gangzi and the three of them quickly rolled into the hole, so as not to be burned into ashes.

The hairstyle is not down and said: "This fire eye is very unstable now, it will erupt at any time, with our current position, we should leave the ash island under the rock layer on the seabed, if we need a volcanic environment to raise firewood, we don't need to dig from the original road, just put a certain amount of gunpowder to detonate, you can trigger a volcanic eruption, break through the rock layer above, and form a new volcanic island." ”

Gangzi said, "Now we need to find the bamboo first. ”

Gangzi probed down to make sure there were no fireballs rushing up, and then looked to the left and right of the rock wall. Sure enough, I found a lot of red bamboos rooting in the cracks of the rock wall, growing tenaciously.

After confirming the existence of the firecrack, Gangzi turned to Christol and said, "Do you elves have a way to make the firecracks multiply quickly?" ”

"Of course, we are the best companions of plants, and if we can pick a leaf from a firebamboo, we can turn it into a forest," Christol confirms. ”

Gangzi said happily: "Great, so that I don't have to risk collecting a large number of firecrackers for transplanting." ”

After speaking, Gangzi looked around, and saw that there was a fire bamboo growing horizontally from the stone wall 10 meters below, and the main trunk of more than 30 meters long supported the dense branches and leaves without much bending, and with the updraft swinging below, there was no meaning to break, it was really the best material for making hard sails.

Gangzi took out the rope he was carrying, stuck one end on his waist, and handed the other end to Christol and the hairstyle: "You have to hold on to it, I don't want to be transferred into the volcanic lava to roast alive, it will cause a psychological shadow." ”

"It's so hot down there," Christol said, "My spell shield will burst instantly, and you won't feel any pain. ”

It's a guy who doesn't understand humor, Gangzi complained, tried the strength of the rope, and slid down.

Away from the rock, and illuminated by the lava below, even in the depths of Christol's spell, Gangzi could still feel the unbearable temperature. He descended quickly, stepped on the thick trunk with one foot, and after balancing his body, he took out his long sword and quickly cut the red branches and leaves of the fire bamboo around him, and kept stuffing it into his backpack.

"Be careful......

Gangzi was chopping up, and the warning above came, and at this time, a fireball wrapped Gangzi through the dense fire bamboo branches and leaves under his feet, and the protective cover was melted off instantly, and then Gangzi turned into a white light.

Kristol was right, he really didn't feel anything.

Choosing to resurrect Black Sail Island, Gangzi connected the communication with a hairstyle: "Send your people to block the Ash Island, no one is allowed to go to the island, no one is allowed to leak the information of the fire eye and fire bamboo, and you calculate how much gunpowder we need to cause a volcanic eruption." ”

Closing the communication of the hairstyle, Gangzi connected to Bucknar's Morning Glory: "Go to Anne Town immediately, I have a batch of plants called fire bamboo that need to be planted by elves, this plant can only survive in a volcanic environment, there are many such volcanoes in the Applegas Islands, I hope it can be full of firecrackers." ”

Baknar was puzzled: "How to plant all the volcanoes in the entire Apulgas Islands, I don't have enough manpower, every warship in the Black Sail Fleet has elves responsible for the maintenance of ships under sail, and the Black Sail Shipyard and Jimo Shipyard have already requisitioned a large number of elves." ”

The ribs needed to make the fifth-class battleships of the Great Han Dynasty must be processed by elves, and the Black Sail Fleet also arranges one or two elves to be stationed on each battleship. Gangzi brought more than a hundred elves from the Jade World in total, and the stall is big, and elves are needed everywhere, and there is really a shortage everywhere when they are scattered.

It seems that it is necessary to go to the Emerald World again as soon as possible, Gangzi asked the computer butler to calculate the time and location of the next whirlpool, and said to Bucknar: "I am already going to go to the Emerald World to collect some elves, you count the list of elves who are ready to return to their hometowns, and concentrate these elves in Anne Town, specifically responsible for the cultivation of firewood, and when the next teleportation channel opens, we will go back." ”

Hearing that Gangzi was planning to go to the Emerald World again, Bucknar was very excited to think of his wife and daughter. The elves had been here for a year, having experienced voyages that they had never imagined before, and such voyages across the ocean had become a part of their lives; They have participated in unheard of wars, and the sea battles over and over again have refreshed their perception of naval battles, and it seems that these naval battles are only battles with low-level ships as the main force.

The more he understands the ocean, the more he feels small, the more he feels small, the black sail elves who have been trained in this return to his hometown will definitely make the navigation level of the elf kingdom make a leap forward, but this is far from enough, the elf kingdom needs to send more elves to study here, learn sailing, learn shipbuilding, learn ship design, and learn everything that the scarce jade world does not have.
