Chapter 49: The Black Pearl (Part II)
As if it were a prophecy, things did change.
The Dreadnought began to move, moving from stationary shelling to mobile shelling, and trying to distance itself from the Black Pearl as much as possible. They don't seem to be fast, and that's because of their sheer size. But when it does move, you'll find that this terrifying behemoth isn't necessarily much slower than the Black Pearl. Importantly, the original area bombardment was now scattered across the sky, enveloping a wider area, and the Black Pearl's speed was greatly affected and gradually slowed down.
At this moment, it looks like a scene of a tank beating a puppy in StarCraft, and the tank that puts down the stand keeps distancing itself from the rampaging dogs in a flat way, and attacks the opponent with mobile artillery fire. In such a battle, either the puppy rushes up to encircle the opponent and bite the opponent to death, or he is tortured to death without rushing to the opponent's side.
"Who do you think will win?" asked Shen Yi.
Shen Yi replied while paying attention to the battlefield: "If nothing else, it's the Dreadnought." ”
"Why?" everyone was curious, after all, the Black Pearl was not weak.
"Judging by the performances of both sides, this is by no means the first time they have played each other. Judging from the plot, Jack Sparrow has attacked the British fleet many times, and he and Beckett of the Dreadnought are also old friends. If the Black Pearl could have won against the Dreadnought before, then at the speed of the Black Pearl, the Dreadnought would definitely not be able to run. But the fact that the Dreadnought is still alive and well shows that it hasn't lost. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled slightly: "So the conclusion is that our Captain Jack has tried to destroy the Dreadnought more than once, but he has failed every time, and then he can only rely on the Black Pearl's quick departure from the battlefield." ”
"It's a shame. The crowd muttered together.
Shen Yi looked at Captain Jack in the distance. He said slowly: "Jakes Sparrow can gallop across the Caribbean Sea, he must have his ability to eat, and I may see more of his wonderful performances later." ”
The battle continues.
The Black Pearl marched forward in the wind and waves, like cavalry storming the position, and the pirates stood on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly with their swords, showing the cold and wild fighting spirit of the men of the sea.
Compared to the Black Pearl's windy style, the Dreadnought appears more calm. The speed of the voyage was slow, but it was always able to keep itself at the best range from the Black Pearl. If the battle is allowed to continue like this, it will be the Black Pearl who will be defeated.
At this moment, a figure suddenly swept up from the Black Pearl, it was Captain Jack Sparrow. At this time, it was a huge wave that was blown up by a cannonball and hit the Black Pearl, and the huge wave set off was comparable to the height of the Black Pearl itself. With a slight leap, Jack Sparrow stood on the huge wave of the flood and descended to the surface of the sea with the downward trend of the waves...... He ran wildly on the surface of the sea.
"What the!" the Flood Monster cried, "Did you see that guy running on water!"
"It should be some kind of skill. King Kong said in a deep voice: "One of the nine pirate kings, it is really powerful. ”
"I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with the Dreadnought. "Gentle interface.
Sure enough, a large number of sailors appeared on board the Dreadnought, each with a long musket in their hands. They are not in a hurry to fire their guns at their targets, but in a horizontal position, they shoot at all the open spaces that the opponent must pass through.
Jack Sparrow only paused for a moment, and the whole person immediately sank into the water. It's just that when he reappears, he still runs on the water, and this practice of disappearing and appearing makes him look like a phantom of the sea.
However, gorgeous does not mean success, the Intrepid and the Black Pearl have fought many times, and they all know what tricks they have and what methods to use to solve problems, and each has its own means.
The next moment the Dreadnought began to turn, and the bow cannon was already aimed at Jack Sparrow.
Rumble!
A cannonball shot out, setting off a huge wave.
The waves swelled, sweeping Jack Sparrow into the tide, as if a huge mountain was pushing the approaching body of the other party back dozens of meters.
Jack Sparrow's skills are obviously limited, as long as he can't get close to the Dreadnought in time, he won't want to get on the ship.
Shen Yi's eyes flashed: "It's time." ”
He jerked off his trench coat, revealing a black wetsuit under his trench coat.
Hong Lang was stunned: "What are you going to do?"
"To help our Captain Jack, of course. Shen Yi replied.
"To help him?" exclaimed.
"Yes, go help him!" Shen Yi replied with great certainty: "That's very important to us." ”
"What's the important law?"
"You'll know, there's no time to explain this right now. ”
"But how can you help?" Hong Lang shouted dissatisfiedly, "We are at least two hundred meters away from the Dreadnought. Believe it or not, if we move the ship towards the Dreadnought a little, the Dreadnought will immediately turn its guns to us! You can't get close the same way you did last time, the Dreadnought is not the Rover! Its guns are too dense and intense!"
"Then like him, run over and get close to Jack Sparrow now that they're focused on him. ”
"What?" everyone froze again.
King Kong also shouted: "Are you crazy? Shen Yi, you don't have this skill!"
"You don't have to do everything with skill!"
When it comes to running on water, people think of little things like basilisk lizards. Its posture of running on the water has already made countless people break their hearts.
Scientists have long made a strong argument: when the ball of the foot comes into contact with the surface of the water, a certain tension is generated on the surface of the water. This tension can counteract gravity to a certain extent, and if a person's speed is fast enough, the center of gravity is controlled enough, and the skills are in place, they can make themselves run on water. The problem is that the human body is so heavy that in order to actually run, it needs to support even more than the top speed, which is a speed that cannot be achieved by humans, so it will never be possible in theory.
However, this is not a world of theory after all, but a world that subverts tradition and creates miracles.
The physical fitness possessed by the adventurers is far from being comparable to that of the humans on Earth.
Shen Yi closed his eyes, relaxed all his spirits, and began to regulate his strength. The ability to control the precision that his talent for precision gives him a far greater control over his own power than ordinary people. He threw all his strength into his legs, feeling the power of his legs swelling.
He took off his shoes and stepped barefoot on the deck, which would make it easier for him to feel the water.
A gust of wind blew, and Shen Yi's spirit was highly concentrated on his legs and feet.
The feet are slightly open, the body is slightly bowed, and the person is like a taut bowstring.
Shoot out!
The body drew an elegant arc in the air, and when it fell into the water, the person sank into the water, and Shen Yi slammed his palm on the surface of the water, and at the same time of hitting a waterfall rapid, with the help of the reaction force, the whole person rose into the air.
Step your feet on the surface of the water and tap gently.
It was a very peculiar feeling, touching the surface of the water barefoot, as if it were dotted on a transparent film.
The film is so thin that it seems to crumble at a point.
Shen Yi felt that he was just using a little force, and the membrane had been trampled to smithereens by himself, and then the whole person sank into the water for the second time.
He didn't even get a chance to play with his speed.
In an instant, Shen Yi realized that something was wrong.
The surface tension does not give enough reaction force, which makes it impossible to expand the velocity. If you can't spread your speed, you can't reduce your weight by continuously touching the water surface to achieve the purpose of running.
Theory is just theory after all!
If you want to run on water, you have to borrow more power.
Shen Yi hit the water again, taking advantage of the momentum to improve, while the person was flying, he kicked the big boat next to him violently, with the reaction force of this kick, Shen Yi turned from high to translation, his feet quickly stepped on the water, maximizing his speed in an instant, and the person flew out like a sharp arrow.
"He's running!" exclaimed Gentle Excited.
"It's not that simple. King Kong poured cold water on his head.
Sure enough, just a few steps after running, Shen Yi's body sank back into the water again.
Hong Lang's voice echoed with laughter in his ears: "It's still not good, Shen Yi." ”
Without answering, the flying claws broke through the water and grabbed onto the rover's hull, and Shen Yi's body flew out of the water for the third time and landed back on the rover.
In the distance, Jack Sparrow was still galloping across the water, but the Dreadnought's artillery fire was too heavy for him to get close.
The battle seems to be coming to an end.
If you can't join in on a short period of time, it means that a great opportunity will be lost.
Shen Yi closed his eyes, and his mind entered a state of high concentration.
The more important the moment, the calmer he is, and the more he can give full play to his potential, which is the best thing about Shen Yi.
Just a few seconds later, Shen Yi opened his eyes.
He said lightly: "I understand." If you want to run on water, in addition to speed and external borrowing, you also need one thing in the end. ”
"What?"
"Center of gravity. Shen Yi replied lightly.
With a high degree of mental concentration, Shen Yi's mind replayed the peculiar steps of the basilisk lizard running on the water, and suddenly brightened.
He jumped off the Rover again, his legs kicked on the hull, and the man flew out.
Being in the air, Shen Yi's body was slightly tilted, his legs were separated in a peculiar figure-of-eight, and at the moment when he was about to fall into the water, his right foot stepped violently into the water, breaking through the layer of water film at the same time, the center of gravity moved forward, only a slight borrowing, which had made him rush forward.
The legs rotated like propellers, and the whole person rushed forward in a cannonball-like attitude, all the power was no longer concentrated on the legs, but more for balancing the body, and the force under the feet was more precise.
Shen Yi could feel the wind whistling in his ears, gathering under his feet, as if holding him up.
Due to the translation of the center of gravity, he does not need to step on the water very hard, only a slight touch, and the person swoops out. This shift in the center of gravity does not last long, and will gradually submerge into the water as it continues to advance.
But for Shen Yi, it was enough.
With a distance of 200 meters, a few sprints can be reached in an instant for adventurers.
On the sea, Shen Yi is like a motorized speedboat with full power, running frantically towards the target, drawing a long and straight white line on the sea.
When the few people on the Fearless saw this terrifying scene, they all pointed at Shen Yi and shouted loudly, with a look of horror in their words.
Indeed, in their long career in naval warfare, the British sailors had not yet discovered a second capable of running at sea, except for Jack Sparrow.
But this time they saw it, and it was at the critical moment when they were going all out to deal with that mortal enemy, Jack Sparrow.
Fortunately, the soldiers had been trained for a long time after all, and some soldiers raised their guns to shoot at Shen Yi. The artillery on the other side of the hull also began to fire in unison.
They were very experienced and did not aim at Shen Yi, but bombarded the water in front of Shen Yi, just like they did against Captain Jack.
When Shen Yi rushed to a distance of fifty or sixty meters away from the Intrepid, at least seven artillery pieces hit the sea in front of Shen Yi at the same time, and Shen Yi, who was running at high speed, almost hit the shell himself.
Even so, the huge waves that were set off still swallowed Shen Yi whole.
Running on the water at high speed is the most feared thing about stopping. Shen Yi only felt that his body was heavy, and his whole body had fallen into the water.
"Oh hoo!" came a chorus of cheers from the Dreadnought.
However, the next moment, the claws burst through the water and flew out, grabbing the dreadnought's mainmast.
Then a figure swept by, flew around the Dreadnought, and landed steadily on the deck of the Dreadnought.
"Hey, that's not hospitality. Shen Yi smiled.
The Spirit Musket opened fire suddenly.
