For any country, the quantity and quality of its divine core are one of the important parameters to measure its military strength. The absence of spaceships meant that it was impossible to reach the wider outer space, and with the development of modern artillery jishu, the universe also replaced the sea as the main battlefield of the navy.

There are two things that humans recognize about these mysterious crystal nuclei about the nature of their assimilated vessels.

First, the ability of the god core is not unlimited, the more haode the god core, the larger the hull that can be assimilated, but this ability cannot be superimposed, and two god cores cannot assimilate the same ship at the same time.

Second, the assimilation ability of the god core has the greatest compatibility, in addition to strengthening the strength and airtightness of the hull, and transforming the power system, it will also be compatible with existing equipment, which is particularly outstanding in terms of weapons.

For example, in the early Zheng He's treasure ships, its main long-range weapon was the breech-loaded red-coated cannon.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to use in the universe, but after the Divine Core assimilated the treasure ship, even these cannons were improved. First, the cannon was contained inside the hull, and a hemispherical compartment appeared in the firing window. Once the gunner has loaded the shell, he can fire the shell by simply pushing the front end of the muzzle into the compartment.

In outer space, where there is little resistance, even such early projectiles can hit very far. However, the Divine Core only improved the firing system, and did not upgrade the sighting system too much, so in order to improve the shooting accuracy, both warring sides would drive the ship to a fairly close distance before firing. Some ships even added ramming angles to allow for hand-to-hand combat.

In order to consolidate their colonial rule in Africa, the British did not adopt a policy of pacification that was slow to achieve results, but used weakening and coercion to force the natives to submit. Although the locals did not dare to oppose them openly, they would not honestly obey the people, for example, when the British tried to recover the core of the original god, concealing it was only the easiest method.

After discovering the crashed battleship, the Kabbalah tribe did not report it to the colonial government out of disgust with the British and other infidels, but kept it hidden until now, and even used it to exchange guns with Zhao Jian. If the original owner of this battleship knew that their Genshin Core was sold cheaply by the local natives for 30 second-hand guns, they would definitely cry.

Let his subordinates return to the tribe with the guns in exchange, and the representative of the Kabbalah tribe, Lato, took the initiative to stay and lead the way for Weiss and them, this trading attitude can be called a "conscientious buyer", and Zhao Jian is not afraid of what evil intentions the other party will have.

Not to mention that they were well-equipped and had sufficient ammunition, Zhao Jian also believed that these Black Corn were not hopelessly stupid. After tasting the benefits he brings, whether they buy guns or not, it is estimated that they are looking forward to it at this time, waiting for Zhao Jian to ship the second batch to them. Kill him, and the next weapon merchant doesn't know that the Year of the Monkey will only appear!

Before leaving, Zhao Jian Zuihou calculated the time. At this time, it is exactly 3 weeks before the deadline for paying compensation, and it may take 3 days to arrive and explore the cave, and then it will take about 4~5 days to rush back to Tanga Port at full speed, and it will take 9 days to return to China on the Hengtong. In other words, he can still have about 4 days of surplus, which should be enough to deal with some emergencies.

The cave was not located at a very high altitude and had not yet crossed the snow line, so they did not need to prepare any warm clothing. Zhao Jian and his entourage, who had sold out their guns and ammunition, traveled lightly, and it only took a day and a half to reach the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, and then follow a rugged mountain road to the mountainside.

"It's so hot! Was this really a snow-capped mountain before? ”

"Seventeen years ago, this was indeed a snow-capped mountain, and we who lived at the foot of the mountain enjoyed the nectar bestowed by the mountain and lived happily ever after. Until those evil iron ships descended from the sky, everything was destroyed by them. When it comes to the disaster 17 years ago, Rato gritted his teeth with hatred.

The locals already knew from the triumphant British colonists that the catastrophe that had plagued the entire African continent was caused by the outbreak of a great war in the sky between their former colonizers, the Germans, and the current colonizers, the British. The British regarded this as an honor, and hyped it up in the colonies and protectorates, while the people of Africa dared not speak out about it.

"Sooner or later, the people of Tanzania will unite and expel all these white-skinned vampires who have stepped on our heads from our land. Sooner or later there will be a ...... of this day."

"Ambitious! I'm optimistic about you guys (is this the African Angry Youth?) ）。 ”

Under the leadership of Lato, it only took Zhao Jian and the others half a day to come to a cave located halfway up the mountain. There is a screen-like dirt slope in front of this cave, so you can't see it from other positions until you stand in front of the cave.

When the British came to recover the core of the original god, the guide provided by the Kabbalah tribe led them around the mountains and wilderness, but they did not come to this place. And the British, who were stunned, didn't find that they had missed a place, so they returned empty-handed, cheapening Zhao Jian more than ten years later.

"This cave is only our shaman who has entered, although the chief asked us to bring you here, but please forgive me for not being able to enter the cave with you, after all, we are ......"

"Afraid of curses, huh? Understandable. You don't have to follow up, but I want you to stay here until we come out. Brother Lao Hei, Brother Da Man, the two of you also stay and chat with him here. ”

Leaving two people to guard the entrance of the cave, Zhao Jian raised his feet and was about to go to the cave, but he couldn't get out after taking two steps, and when he looked back, he found that it was Qin Heng who was grabbing his back collar, and that familiar expression appeared on his face again.

"Uncle Qin, what are you pulling me for?"

"Young master, there may be danger in this cave......"

"Uncle Qin, you're in 'danger' this way, aren't I okay haode?"

"But this is a cave on the edge of the crater! What if it collapses? ”

"It's been sitting here for 17 years, it doesn't make sense that I can collapse it with 80 pounds, right?"

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, as the saying goes, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger', I still don't believe that there can be monsters in this cave!"

After that, Zhao Jian broke free from Qin Heng's hand, and with the excitement of treasure hunting, he took the lead and walked towards the cave, and the others hurriedly followed when they saw this.

The entire cave was formed by a falling battleship smashing through the underground cavern, and at the front end was a straight tunnel with an inclination angle of about 30 degrees, so everyone didn't have to worry about what kind of fork in the road they would take here. After they had gone deeper than 100 meters, they came to a relatively wide underground cavern.

"This place is not small!"

The entire underground cavity is oval, the widest point is more than 2,000 meters, the height up and down is about 120 meters, and from the small platform where Zhao Jian and the others are located to the bottom of the rope is about 50 meters, and the length of the climbing rope brought is enough to put it at the bottom of the cave.

Standing on a small platform, Zhao saw a huge battleship about 200 meters long in front of him, rushing at him with a high raised stern, and below its stern was a river of rolling and flowing magma. If it weren't for the fact that the bow of the battleship plunged into the ground like a javelin when it fell into the cave, the second half of the battle would have been melted by magma.

"Young Master, this is a battle cruiser! And looking at the appearance, it should be a German De Fringer class,"

"You mean, this is the missing German Lützov?"

The battlecruiser Lützov was the largest German battleship in the Jutland Space War, and it was also the flagship of the German battlecruiser detachment at that time, commanded by Vice Admiral Hipper. With a maximum displacement of 31,200 tons, this battleship is second only to battleships in size, and the quality of the god core is of the highest quality. As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Jian couldn't suppress his excitement.

Slipping down the rope to the cave, the magma river in front of them directly greeted them with a wave of heat.

Fortunately, the ventilation situation here is not bad, and everyone does not feel stuffy except for feeling hot. And the magma river in front of him was also very good, because the river did not run through the entire underground cavity, but flowed two-thirds of the way down, and then flowed straight down and back into the ground, and everyone only had to make a slight detour to the front of the Lyuzhov.

Seventeen years ago, the ship was involved in the largest Jutland space war of World War I, and its commander, Vice Admiral Hipper, launched a suicidal "death shock" against the British during the Zuihou phase of the campaign, saving the German High Seas Fleet, but the ship Lützov crashed into the atmosphere after suffering heavy damage.

No one could have imagined that this battleship would crash on Mount Kilimanjaro and that the hull would be so intact.

Through on-site investigation, it can be determined that the battleship was trying to adjust its attitude until the moment before it hit the mountain, and the ship's goddess also concentrated all the reinforcements on the bow and bottom of the ship, so that the Lutzov did not directly turn into a pile of debris after hitting the mountain. But the sailors on board were not so lucky!

After everyone got on the ship, they found many corpses in the cabin, they were all shocked to death in the cabin at the moment of impact, a small number of corpses still showed signs of struggle, the skull's wide open mouth and black hole eyes revealed despair.

"The Germans generally like to place the Divine Core in that part of the ship?"

"It should be the widest point of the middle hull, but there are also some that are placed a little further back."

Walking in the rusty cabin, even the lightest Zhao ship made a strange noise on the ground with every step, and when they reached the middle, the hull suddenly tilted back. Don't look at the fact that the ship weighs tens of thousands of tons, but the state at this time is like a balance that is barely in a delicate balance, and a single hair can tilt it.

There was no way, Zhao Jian could only let the others retreat, and then let the bodyguard captain Di Rui and the most obedient Wangcai continue to walk towards the stern of the boat with him, and every step was lifted and put as gently as possible, for fear that the stern of the boat would suddenly fall into the magma lake. In this way, the three of them cautiously touched the back half of the battleship and found a special room.

When the three of them came to the door of the room, Zhao Jian suddenly let out a "chuckle" in his heart when he saw the hidden hatch. He thought that the Ryutzov's Genshin Core had been taken first, but when they entered the room, they found a metal table in the center of the room, on which the Genshin Core was still inlaid but a dull gray, and a corpse in the uniform of a German admiral sitting in front of the platform.

Zhao Jian stepped forward and saw two rows of gray-brown English beside the core of the primordial gods, which seemed to be written with bloodstains, and Zhao Jian immediately felt crying and laughing after reading these two lines.

"Eat, Englishman, you don't even dream of my daughter."
