Chapter 52: Arriving at the Diaoyu Islands

The thunderbolt is wrapped in tin foil, the tin foil is waterproof, and the tamped black powder will explode as long as the bump force is too heavy, as long as the gunpowder is not soaked in the first place, even if it is on the surface of the water, with Mao Eighteen's hand strength is enough to smash the thunderbolt.

This is the advantage that the yellow powder (explosive) invented by Nobel in later generations does not have, the yellow powder is too stable, friction, bumps, and even open flames cannot detonate it, and it can only be detonated with a fuse.

Yellow powder is indeed safer and more powerful, but it has lost many of the characteristics of black powder, and in the absence of detonators and fuses, it is useless to give you a bunch of yellow powder, just a pile of waste.

Therefore, black powder and yellow powder are actually the products of two different research systems, and they cannot be simply judged by their power and safety.

At least in this era when grenades and electronic detonators could not be made at the industrial level, black powder was more useful than yellow powder.

"Boom"

"Whoa......

Sure enough, after Mao Shibai threw a thunderbolt, there was a sudden roar on the sea, and a large splash was blown up.

Lu Gaoxuan and the others watched Mao Shibai throw the thunderbolt with their own eyes, and their eyes followed the thunderbolt to the sea, the power of the explosion startled them a lot, and they subconsciously squatted down, their faces turned pale.

When Lu Gaoxuan and the others turned their heads with ugly faces, they were almost scared, because Xu Tianchuan, Mao Shiba, Fengjizhong, Li Lishi, and Gao Yanchao had already held the thunderbolt in their hands, and raised their hands to make a move to prepare to throw.

Is this worth it? With the power of thunderbolts, this round of dropping, their ship should almost fall apart, right? It's useless to even jump into the sea, and you die even worse by jumping into the sea.

They naturally know about the thunderbolt, since half a year ago, when the Heaven and Earth Society robbed the Dharma field, the thunderbolt bomb officially appeared, because of this thing, the Qing court went crazy and searched for anti-Qing elements, controlled the raw materials of gunpowder, and made the people of the world panic.

At this time, they finally understood why Yang Yifei's martial arts were so poor, but he could become the master of heaven and earth, Nima he was the successor of the Thunderbolt Hall who knew how to make thunderbolts, and the Qing court wanted to get rid of them quickly!

Lu Gaoxuan broke down and shouted: "Chief Helmsman Chen, Lord Yang Xiang, what do you mean by this?" I haven't offended you, have I? ”

Yang Yifei smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, the two Venerables, and all of you, we won't talk nonsense, I'll just ask you a ......."

"Do you want to get the antidote to the Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill, get out of Hong Antong's control, and become a free man, or do you want to swear allegiance to your sect leader?"

Lu Gaoxuan glanced at each other with the fat and thin head, then turned around, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "It seems that Miss Fang has already told you everything, this question, I'm afraid fools know how to choose!" ”

Fang Yi hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, I didn't tell them anything, Brother Yang, they actually know everything, they originally planned to destroy the Divine Dragon Sect and seize the Divine Dragon Island. ”

"So no matter what you choose, I have decided to trust them, go with them, and wait for the day when they attack Shenlong Island."

Lu Gaoxuan and the three of them looked at Fang Yi in surprise, then at Yang Yifei and Chen Jinnan, and secretly thought for two breaths in their hearts, Lu Gaoxuan asked Yang Yifei and Chen Jinnan with a straight face: "Dare to ask the two, how sure are you?" ”

Yang Yifei smiled, he knew that Lu Gaoxuan was not really considering his proposal until this moment, and the previous words were just an expedient measure when he was forced to be helpless, maybe he would slip away as soon as he found an opportunity.

It was Yang Yifei who said proudly: "I can tell you that we are sure of the destruction of the Divine Dragon Sect...... Ten percent, as you must have guessed, I am the heir of the Thunderbolt Hall, and the firearms I can make are not just thunderbolts. ”

"Do you dare to take the risk of a one-time attack of the Leopard Fetal Yijin Pill to bet on whether you can see the day when the heavens and the earth will bombard Shenlong Island?"

As soon as Yang Yifei's words fell, before Lu Gaoxuan could speak, Fat Tou Tuo and Slender Tou Tuo glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and Slender Tou Tuo said: "Our senior brother has gambled, if we lose the bet, the big deal is to suffer the pain of the whole body again, and we can also change our body shape back." ”

The fat head echoed: "Yes, but if we win the bet, we can get back our free body, no matter how we calculate it, we will make a sure profit and not lose money, this one I bet on the Heaven and Earth Society." ”

Slender Toutuo looked at Lu Gaoxuan, who was still thinking, and said coolly: "Although there is a possibility of losing if you bet, the possibility of winning is greater, but if you don't gamble, then you won't even have the opportunity to bet, do you still need to think about it?" ”

Lu Gaoxuan suddenly patted his forehead, he was smart but was mistaken by being smart, just because he was too smart and thought too much, but he couldn't see it as clearly as these two fools.

Isn't it? If you gamble, there is still a chance to win, if you don't bet, you will be blown into ashes by a thunderbolt in an instant, although it will be miserable to lose, but it is better than not having any chance, and it is better to die now!

Thinking of this, Lu Gaoxuan raised his head and said: "Okay, we all choose to go with you, if you can really get the antidote to the leopard fetus Yijin Pill one day, let us get out of the control of Sect Master Hong, Lu is willing to join the Heaven and Earth Society, and throw his head and spill his blood for the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yang Yifei and Chen Jinnan looked at each other and smiled, "Wise choice, Brother Xu, throw a rope down and let them connect the boat to our boat." ”

"Yes, Master of Incense."

……

The fleet set off again, and the night passed, when the sun rose from the sea level, the Diaoyu Islands were finally in sight, Lu Gaoxuan and they were very surprised, they had been mixed in this sea area for so many years, and they didn't know that there was such an island here.

But it's normal to think about it, this island is in the southwest of Shenlong Island, they usually move in the north on weekdays, and most of them sail to the northwest when they leave the island, so naturally they can't find this island.

This time, it was because they had to go to Fujian to do some errands first, so they went this way, but by mistake they met the fleet of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse for them.

Diaoyu Island is more than seven miles long and nearly four miles wide, which is already very large, and the vegetation on the island is dense, and the highest altitude is about 110 zhang.

The terrain is relatively flat in the north, the mountain rock on the southeast side is steep, the rock reef on the east side is quite like a minaret, the central mountain range runs through the east and west, and the island is rich in camellia, palm, cactus, sea hibiscus and other precious Chinese medicinal materials.

There are many caves on the mountain wall under the mountain range, which have been transformed into residences by the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society, of course, the caves alone are not enough for so many people to live, the caves are for high-rise and single female disciples, and many houses have been built on the mountain, and various workshops and warehouses are concentrated in the flat areas in the north.

When the fleet was at anchor, the disciples who stayed on the island had already rowed small boats to approach the big boat, and while unloading the cargo, the brothers and sisters on the boat were next, the water near the shore was too shallow, and there were reefs, and the big boat could not pass, so they could only be transported by small boats.

The disciples knew that the chief helmsman and the main hall incense master had arrived, and they also gathered on the beach to greet each other.
