In the dock of Cuiyu Harbor, seagulls stand on buildings, and this flock of white birds line up on the stone eaves. With the bird's head on its side, it observes the humans in the city with its eyes.

One by one, the boatmen were kneeling and praying, and the object of prayer was the sea spirit, and the sea spirit was naturally Su Ying. This ethos of praying to the sea spirits stems from Su Ying's occasional response to some of the crew.

The equal communication of the eagle can be used from the perspective of seabirds and some dolphin creatures. So when two storms hit the sea, early warnings were given to some of the people in the boats in the sea.

Yes, with just a few hints, the reputation of Hai Ling blessing the safety of the ship gradually spread from the harbor, of course, there were too many calls, and Su Ying had to block out a lot of voices.

Crews are the fastest-moving people in this era. As this group of seafarers drifted along the coast, and on various occasions, silently chanted.

And Su Ying's perspective spreads thousands of miles away through the flow of these people.

The perspective shifts to the south.

In Tianfu Port of the Republic of Zhejiang, eleven ironclad ships escorted merchant ships to the south. Although the land war on the continent began to use homing missiles as the main combat weapon, it was still the era of firepower gunboats on the sea, and it was also steam turbine technology.

White smoke came out of the chimney of the ironclad, and the sharp triangular aircraft behind the ironclad were released into the air to reconnoiter the sea. The waves were constantly lapping the bow of the ship, and the direction of the flotilla was the tropical rainforest climate zone near the equator in the south. The Republic of Zhejiang-Ning has secretly developed a large number of trading stations. These trading stations, which draw a large amount of minerals and agricultural products from the local area, are an important economic pillar of the Republic of Zhejiang.

Ye Piaocai, fleet commander, career captain. The captain class is slightly different from 800 years ago, with most of the spell system moving closer to the mechanic. Because after 800 years of industrial development, sailing ships have been completely eliminated, and mechanical ships have become the mainstream.

The captain leaned against the bridge of the 12,000-ton armored ship. The communication wire above the bridge commanded the entire fleet to maintain a reasonable formation. Behind the command hall are crystal developers, but this does not mean that the technology has reached the level of the 21st century full LCD screen, but that there are more professionals in this world and more people who can develop images. The commanders of the fleet observe the detection of radar waves on the surface of the sea on the development crystal, as well as the information from the underwater sonar.

In front of the well-lit bridge, Ye Piaocai was wearing a white fleet commander's uniform, standing in front of the glass window with regular round holes, and turned on the far-sighted technique to look at the vast sea in the distance.

The position of fleet commander was obtained by Ye Piaocai after ten years of work. In Zhejiang, there are not five hundred but three hundred high-ranking captains, and the competition faced by the captains is very large.

[Tell me about the current situation on the eastern sea]

A thousand years ago, the commanders of the fleets of the West were reserved for the fortresses. But in this continental civilization in the East, the cities have not been to the sea much in the thousand-year-old history of steam. Because the sea surface risk in the eastern continent is much greater than that in the western continent in the Mediterranean. The first is the storm of the equatorial cyclone (typhoon), and then there is the power of the sea humans.

And now, with the advent of the electric calendar, the Eastern Continent has also realized the importance and richness of the maritime frontier. Some generals of the Eastern Continent began to dominate the construction of maritime power.

This is thanks to the expansion of the general's profession by technology. A thousand years ago, the information emitted by the general's lineage adjusted the soldier's lineage within a few kilometers.

But now it is different, the general's information point of light can be sent to the signal tower on the shore, into the electromagnetic field deployed by the high-altitude airship, and then to the top of the tower of a certain frequency hundreds of kilometers away. This process only takes a dozen seconds.

In this way, the general profession can sit in the main coastal base and direct the operation of the fleet between the various port routes at sea. The senior commanders of Zhejiang and Ning are stationed in the port mansions all the year round to strategize, and it is still these captains who run the ship to face the wind and waves.

[Then let's talk about the changes in maritime combat technology over the millennium]

In recent years, the tactics of multiple battleship formations bombarding each other at sea are already old, and there are many technologies that can eliminate battleships, but it is the aircraft carrier technology on the earth that has taken the head. And the world's elimination of dreadnought technology is information technology.

In the dreadnought era, in a battleship formation, one battleship stared at the tail of another battleship, formed a formation, and drove on the sea to fight. The exchange of information between each warship is sluggish and backward.

To what extent is the information exchange of traditional battleships backward - in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Yamato was forced to turn by two torpedoes, and Nagato, who was behind, for some reason, turned with Yamato and withdrew from the battlefield together.

When information technology advances, information communication between warships and warships is unimpeded, and small ships can surround the large fleet in groups. It's just that after the appearance of similar combat cases on the earth, it was already the time for the US imperialist aircraft carrier battle group to run rampant all over the world, and the record of a certain Yellow Water battleship kindergarten violently beating elementary school students was naturally covered up.

In the world of the legal lineage, the progress of science and technology is slower, and the effect of information technology in the transformation of naval warfare is much more eye-catching. This world satellite technology has not been pointed out, and now due to tactical needs, small reconnaissance drone technology is flourishing.

After hundreds of years of development, the current fleet is taking the route of a large information flagship commanding a number of high-speed small warships at sea. That is, a 10,000-ton battleship, operating with seven to fifteen high-speed battleships with a tonnage of 2,000 to 3,000 tons.

The unmanned reconnaissance planes of both sides can detect each other from a distance of 400 kilometers, and it is almost impossible to line up the large warships in a horizontal formation.

Su Ying commented: These small warships have fewer guns and a few missile launchers, which is more royal. It's a pity that the electronic radar technology on the side of the East Continent is directly stuck in mass production, and the anti-ship missile technology can't be held back.

[Now on the sea with blue waves, Ye Piaocai's fleet is sailing]

The formation of four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was at an altitude of 3,000 meters 100 kilometers away from the battleship, taking pictures on the sea surface, and suddenly the UAVs found a target on the distant sea level, and after sending a signal, they did not get a response from the friendly side.

These drone data information is transmitted to the warship at sea, and in the bridge command hall, the development technology forms a huge map.

In Ye Piaocai's flagship hall, the red alarm sounded, and one by one personnel were in position in the cabin of the information ship, and on the development screen in the hall, red marks showed that there was a non-friendly fleet ahead.

This is the fleet of the sea humans, who joined forces with the Eastern Continent to expel the hegemony of the Oka people 1,400 years ago. But with the Oka get out. The relationship between the Eastern Continent and the sea humans took a sharp turn for the worse. In order to control the maritime trade routes between the East and the West, the two sides engaged in dozens of naval battles, large and small.

In these 1,400 years, the Eastern Continent has sunk nearly hundreds of millions of tons of warships.

Zhejiang, which has a colonial economy, hates the sea to the core.

Ye Piaocai didn't want a conflict, he sent a communication warning to the southern fleet, but he didn't get a response from the humans in the southern sea, that fleet showed no signs of evasion, and the whole fleet understood that the conflict was inevitable.

Facing the invisible front, Ye Piaocai scolded: "Damn sea human turtle grandson. ”

Ye Piaocai pinched himself tightly before boarding the ship, and his family begged for a certain amulet and held it in the palm of his hand. Out of habit, he whispered, "I hope you will bless me with victory." And this casual remark made a luminous figure emerge from the amulet.

Ye Piaocai rubbed his eyes, and finally accepted this magical fact in Su Ying's clever tongue.

Dozens of seconds later, Ye Piaocai's flagship sent a communication, and the whole fleet prayed to Hai Ling for ten minutes. With the dispatch of the communication, the ship's men began this pre-war ritual. The blessings of the gods may seem illusory to the twenty-first century of the earth, but they can be agreed upon.

The purpose of holding religious ceremonies is to make people lose their individualism and become collectivist in a short period of time. And in doing so, it just improves the organizational power of the human cluster. Only with consensus can complex social activities be carried out.

"The major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong" - 'Rong' is the military, and the major social role of 'worship' has been broken as a superstition in the 21st century, but its social role is replaced by more advanced things, such as nationalism, patriotism, and social humanism, so as long as the society is there, the role of worship is indispensable.

At this time, in the Eastern Continent, before the arrival of Su Ying, the belief of various sea gods in ship shipping has existed to this day. Nowadays, when sailing encounters storms and reefs, some captains will even throw a person into the sea to stabilize people's hearts in order to stabilize people's hearts.

Su Ying, who was 5,000 kilometers away from the Holy Scroll Academy, put his little legs on the windowsill in the library, teasing the seagull with his toes, and at the same time sighed: "When there is a gap in people's hearts, it will be filled by certain people, and these people will become the center of social thought." But from another point of view, people's vacant minds will become a kind of thought mold. Whatever the intention of the person providing the idea is, it will be understood selectively by the believers.

Those who believe in Buddhism in their hearts, those who believe in others, become Buddhas.

He who has a ghost in his heart, and he who fears him, becomes a ghost.

So whether it's gold, brass, or mud, poured into the Buddha statue grinding tool will be molded into a Buddha statue, poured into the monster mold will be molded into a monster. Therefore, in history, heroes became emperors, and great men became gods. ”

Su Ying looked at the bold birds on the windowsill and smiled, in the eyes of these birds, Su Ying was a feeder.

[To get back to the point, after the ceremony, Su Ying had a god's perspective on the entire fleet, and among thousands of people, Su Ying could observe the various situations of the huge fleet, and Su Ying entered a state of omniknowledge of the fleet]

For example, the situation on the ammunition conveyor, the situation with the boiler inside the ship, the situation with the rotating turret. This information is the news that commanders need to know urgently in the war. And Su Ying obtained this vital information and passed it on to Ye Piaocai.

Ye Piaocai was very wise and decisive in the command of the fleet. In the conning tower, each ship was promptly ordered to circumvent the situation. - Obtain information from the unguarded people in the name of the gods, and Ye Piaocai gives orders to the fleet in the name of the superiors.

On the turbulent seas, everyone in the Iron Fleet began to perform their duties in an orderly manner. The entire fleet assumed a combat posture.

After four hours, the drones of both sides were able to skim the signal towers of the warships of both sides within a minute, and the warships of both sides opened fire on each other.

The ships of the sea humans sailed slightly faster, but they were disjointed in the change of formation. The fleet line on the left encountered the fleet of Zhenning, and the total number of fleets on both sides was eleven to fifteen. But during the exchange of fire, Ye Piaocai's fleet successfully cut into the east side of the sea human fleet in the eastern sea.

Shells the size of a destroyer's flower bottle follow the chain into the chamber, and the electric motor-driven gun emits a motor characteristic sound when activated.

The batteries of the three destroyers in Ye Piaocai's fleet rained down on the human ships of the sea. Although this kind of warhead cannot penetrate the steel plate of the ship's hull, it contains thermite in the warhead, and it is first-class for arson on ships.

Under such a blow, the superstructure of the three warships of the sea humans turned into white flaming torches.

Naval guns of the same caliber are completely different from land artillery, and under the turret of the naval guns is an unimaginably huge support system for land artillery. With a water-cooled barrel, automatic loading, and corrected aiming, a naval gun can project more than ten times more than a land gun of the same caliber. The barrel of a hundred-millimeter calibre, jetting tongues of fire, recoiled every second, and then quickly reset under hydraulic action.

On the sea, following the command of the information command warship, these high-speed destroyers cut through the waves on the sea surface, blowing foam in the sea breeze, and aimed their guns at the battleships behind. Flames erupted from the muzzle, and while the rear side of the turret exited, brass shells ejected and fell with a thud on the steel deck of the hull.

Through the perspective of the observation post, Su Ying looked at the burning battleship on the sea in the distance and felt the blood of the naval battle.

Su Ying: "Tut, missiles and heavy carrier-based aircraft are not out. Naval warfare is all about fighting bayonets. ”

[In the sunset, the sun dyes the sea red, and the ships that smoke in the sky jump and burn, and also blend into the red sunset]

After the battle, Ye Piaocai walked out of the battleship's armored observation bunker and boarded the unprotected bow of the ship, he watched the scene of the sea human fleet fleeing far away, and pinched his fingers.

Just when Su Ying thought that he was going to write a poem, this Ye Piaocai looked at the sea, folded his hands and said: "Thank God for the blessing, I will definitely reshape your golden body when I go back." ”

And Su Ying (light and shadow) was stunned and flatly refused: "There is no need for this. ”

'Money atonement' is the concept that Su Ying repels the most. In the modern society on earth, people with a clear conscience do not worship God or Buddha, but people who have earned money with a clear conscience, and frequently donate money to temples and temples to repair temples to ensure psychological balance.

Originally neutral people put aside their guilt of indulging in evil in front of the statue of the god and continue to do evil as a matter of course in reality.
