Some were prisoners of war, others slaves who were transported through secret trading channels. They all have common characteristics———— they refuse to obey the giants' orders, and they are very arrogant and shouting to kill the giants...... It's not hard to imagine why they ended up like this.

Perias admired these guys, but admired them, and still felt that they were a bunch of out-and-out fools. Nothing is more important than being alive, especially if this is a region ruled by giants. Not to mention being blown up alive by grenades, even being disemboweled by giants and smeared with salt to make fresh meat is normal behavior in Perias's opinion.

The northern giants are not barbaric, at least the rumors about the special recipes of the giants that are widely circulated in the south of the continent are not reliable. After being at the zoo for so long, Perias had never seen a giant eat a man. Like themselves, they like fresh meat and vegetables, fruits and dairy products, and when they have free time, they like to drink a little wine, sing songs, and talk about life.

Male giants like women, just as white men in the South like sister paper. It's just that the aesthetics of the giants are really unacceptable in Perias's opinion. They are not interested in sexy girls with long legs and thin waists, but they like the kind with fat and thick waists. In the words of the giant, "only a woman with a thick waist has strength". Perias had all sorts of confused thoughts about this, the most common of which were two giant walruses, or similar fat and clumsy animals, roaring and rushing in violence and fatness, with ripples of fat rippling around their skin.

Giantesses love burly men, they love the feeling of being conquered, and in fact only the most violent and savage men become their husbands. Marriage between giants is not so much love as an alternative version of domestic violence. On the wedding night, it is rare to see you and me, but both men and women compete for the position with their own strength. It's not enough to fight, and the saying "wrestling in bed" is very apt. This is the first battle for control of the family, and although the man wins most of the cases, the woman is not to be outdone. Winning means that from now on you will have power over your husband in the family. Losing means that you didn't look away, and you did get a man who was stronger than a storm-maned bear and enough to protect himself and his children.

Romeo and Juliet is a traditional opera in the white kingdoms of the South. It is said that this is a classic play written by a writer who was inspired by his sleep and quickly woke up. Sad love brings tears to tears, especially in aristocratic circles, where the names of the man and woman have been sung for hundreds of years. They have become representatives of the aspirations and pursuits of young people in real life. It has even been suggested that the name of the goddess of love in traditional mythology should be changed to Romeo, and the goddess of beauty, Venus, should be changed to Juliet.

Perias has no grudge against Tianhao, and has never had the intention of running away. He wanted to have a simple cultural exchange, trying to tell the story to more giants, but it turned out to be frustrating.

The male giants kept licking their tongues, and they developed a special interest in the name "Juliet", not about people or things: "It sounds like a delicious pastry, it should be delicious." ”

The female giants reacted less directly, especially when Peryas described Romeo's physiognomy by the standards of a white Southern aristocracy, who always frowned and muttered, "This kind of man is too thin, with small arms and thin legs...... It's barely useful, it's almost the same as a dog to raise, and you can kill and eat meat when you lack food in winter. ”

They completely discarded the beautiful part and focused only on the practical.

Perias felt more and more about Betty's special and important. She was her own wife, so beautiful, so satisfying to herself.

Perias knows his worth. As long as you honestly obey the orders of the young highness and create more special potions, then both Betty and the soon-to-be-born child will be safe.

He no longer thinks about rifles of astonishing length and caliber.

The Giants of the North are indeed a strange race, and they may be able to build enough weapons to kill the gods.

This is not delusional, Perias has seen this kind of thing——-—— during the Battle of Lock Dragon Pass, he saw with his own eyes that the metal creation that was as huge as half a mountain crushed the Five Nations Alliance with a powerful attitude.

I'm a mortal being, just do what I have to do.

……

Along the "zoo" all the way to the east, on the vast blue sea, five brand-new warships are lined up and are undergoing launching sea trials.

Half a year ago, according to the drawings provided by Tianhao, Liandu Shipyard built the first truly large warship in this era. Cumbersome details aside, there are three main figures: a full load displacement of 1,500 tons, a hundred shipboard guns, and an armor thickness of 50 millimeters.

In the case that the steam engine was still in a semi-developed state and could not be used as a power for warships, all kinds of ships still needed to be equipped with sails.

The drawings of the "Black Wolf-class" sail battleship are from the "Old Mama". For a long time, Tianhao has been vigorously implementing the craftsman classification system in Panshicheng Fishing Village and Liandu, as well as sparing no effort to support the shipbuilding industry, and finally received good results. After the launch test of the new ship, the data were satisfactory, and the comprehensive evaluation was completed one week later. Since then, the "Black Wolf class" battleships have begun mass production.

In the era of ancient civilization, technological progress in two fields gave rise to the first form of battleships: first, the improvement of metallurgical technology, which gradually made the front-loading smoothbore gun a highly reliable weapon; The second is the development of seafaring technology, which has made it possible to build large seagoing vessels.

With experience and technology that transcends the times, starting from the development and manufacture of primitive muskets, Tianhao locks a series of behaviors that must be verified through war in history on the testing ground. Jeju Island is rich in sulfur, and the production of both gunpowder and acid is amazing. Explosives gave rise to more powerful weapons, and the advent of fixed ammunition opened the eyes of barbarian craftsmen to a completely new technological path. They didn't even need Tianhao's order, under the leadership of Qu Tooth and Tong Biao, they groped for an explosive warhead, which is commonly known as a "flowering bomb".

With the fixed ammunition as an example, the practice of using thin metal as the shell and adding explosives, warheads, and primers is also replicated, with the difference being the different volumes of bullets and shells. Based on the standard 105 mm caliber gun, the Jeju Island Military Factory successfully developed the first breech-loading gun of this era.

In Tianhao's opinion, this rear-loading gun is very primitive. Although rifling is engraved on the inside of the breech, it is far less powerful than its counterparts in the era of civilization. In any case, it was an advanced weapon, especially in terms of ease of handling and power, which surpassed any of the guns currently armed by the white Southerners.

The Daian otaku ship is an important symbol of civilization in the history of ancient Japan. This type of sea vessel, whose surface is covered with thick steel plates, is known as the "ironclad ship". The similarity of the "Black Wolf-class" in terms of protection, coupled with the stable "U" shaped bottom, the full armor of the hull architecture and the mast, made it a formidable and formidable weapon at sea.

The first five "Black Wolf-class" warships to be launched were incorporated into the First Fleet. The ship is equipped with the most elite naval soldiers, as well as the best logistical supplies.

The first time apple trees were planted on a large scale in the north of Rock City, Tianhao included citrus cultivation in an equally important farming plan. To be sure, the citrus in the north of the continent doesn't taste very good, and the mutation is serious. The fruit has a hard shell the size of an adult's fist, about the same as a walnut that was peeled and dried in civilized times. The fruit is grayish-white in appearance and slightly reddish when ripe. When eating, it must be aided by tools such as knives or hammers, and the structure of the flesh is not much different from that of civilization, except that the taste is more sour and not so sweet.

Lemons have chosen a very different path of mutation than oranges. It retains its eye-catching bright yellow color while giving off a more intense aroma. The similarities are in the hard husk, which has a sweeter taste and a threefold increase in the size of the pit. This open mutation is mainly used to attract birds and beasts with smell, induce ingestion and help seeds spread and reproduce.

The greatest threat to sailors on long-distance voyages is scurvy. Tianhao doesn't have a pharmaceutical factory, but he knows how to extract vitamin C from fruits. This is why Peryas was left behind and given him a spore transplant. Perias had a special talent for pharmacey, and on Tianhao's orders, he mixed the concentrated citrus juice with the syrup, then condensed it, and then cut it to obtain a fruity hard candy with a rather flavorful taste.

From the day of successful trial production, this fruity hard candy has been included in the large reserve of key military supplies and has been given priority to the navy.

Soybeans and mung beans also became special ingredients for the navy. It is mainly used to make bean sprouts and is eaten when fresh vegetables are not available for a long time.

Research and development on the improvement of canned food is still ongoing. At present, two branches of research have emerged: meat and fruit.

The experience of the civilized era has long proved that high-temperature heating can effectively kill bacteria. According to Tianhao's request, the Logistics Research Department tried different types of meat. Simmering, frying, simmering...... Many of the barbarians have improved significantly over the past few years, becoming more proficient in the use of spices and ingredients. Taking the fang-toothed pig as an example, more than a dozen methods such as braised pig, fried in oil, fragrant marinated and stir-fried have been developed, and there are as many as 100 new dishes.

Fried rice with minced pork, scallion steak, braised pork, braised fat sausage, braised pork heart...... These delicious dishes are encapsulated in cans and divided into metal and ceramic according to the production process and the object of supply. The reason why the former appeared ahead of the times is because of the increasingly widespread use of water stamping machinery and machine tools. The latter is much simpler and easier to obtain, but it is somewhat difficult to seal and fire.

There is no reason to let go of luncheon meat, which is the first item of Tianhao's comprehensive logistics plan. As a person who has come before, he is well aware of the important place that luncheon meat occupies in the history of human warfare. Whether it is ceramic or tin sealed, luncheon meat is firmly in the first place in the output of the Panshi City canning factory. With Tianhao's monetary improvement plan, new canneries were built in Leijiaocheng, Xinjing, and Liandu at the same time. It is expected that by the second half of next year at the latest, these products will be available within the community, and not just exclusively for military supply.

Due to the limitation of raw materials, the varieties of canned fruits are too single, and there are only two kinds of apples and oranges in sugar water. The sugar needed to make the cans comes from Jeju Island. The sheer size of the sugarcane plantation combined with the size of the sugar industry has made the sugar from overseas overwhelming the Panshicheng sugar beet sugar factory, with a ratio of about seven to three between the two.

Zhengjiang stood in the flagship command room, holding a monocular, staring at the target ships floating on the sea in the distance.

Choosing an abandoned civilian fishing boat for repair and then using it as a target is not wasteful, and it is quite effective.

Directly above the sails of the battleship, a series of signal flags were slowly raised. All officers and men who have received systematic training at the Naval Academy know what these flags represent———— and all ships of the detachments must do their best to keep their detachment commanders in line forward. In this way, the entire fleet formed a row in the direction of the enemy, and more than half of the side guns could fire at the enemy.

For a lonely few target ships, up to a few hundred shells were a catastrophe. After the huge fire and roar, the target ship was blown to pieces, the smoke of gunpowder dispersed with the wind, and countless broken wooden planks floated on the sea.

Satisfied with the results of the shelling, Masae lowered his binoculars and smiled with ambition on his face.

The world always brings more surprises to itself.

In the past, when I was in Panshi Village, I felt that being able to go to sea to fish in a small boat was a brave act of exploring the great world.

Later, with larger fishing boats, they longed for a deeper blue.

Later, the "Great Viper" appeared, and Masae swore that it was a creation under the guidance of the gods, and it was the most powerful warship in the world.

When he first saw the "Black Wolf Class", Masae felt that the entire worldview had been completely turned upside down, and he couldn't imagine that the traditional way of jumping gang naval warfare had been modified, or even distorted to an incredible extent. There is no need to fight the opponent face-to-face, as long as there are enough cannons and sufficient ammunition, you can drive the battleship to the other side of the ocean, the end of the world, and destroy all the enemies who dare to stand in your way.

All this is thanks to His Royal Highness the Great Regent.

I believe that His Highness will bring me more and better surprises.

Zhengjiang faintly felt that the boundary between the north and south of the continent would soon be broken, and with the wisdom and wisdom of His Highness, the Lion Clan and the Tiger Clan were not opponents at all.

They will kneel and tremble in front of His Highness like worms.

……

Distant ocean, Jinju Island.

According to the scheduled plan, more than two-thirds of the development is already here.

The wharf and harbor have been built, the fort built on the hillside has completed the installation of gun mounts, and the main defensive surface is equipped with heavy guns of 200 mm caliber, plus more than 20 attached bunkers, which together form a strong defensive line.
