The adjutant's face was pale, he didn't expect that Charlie, who usually looked like a swinger, would have such a clear mind during the war, and in just a moment, he could judge the hidden truth behind the seemingly reckless actions of Captain Wuqing of Science Gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, a slightly tired voice came from the door: "Commander Charlie is right, adjutant, give the order at once, and the whole fleet will meet the enemy." ”

Charlie and the adjutant turned their heads and saw that it was Father Aristarch standing at the door of the bridge, and Charlie hurriedly greeted him: "Dear Father Aristarch, why are you here? You have just performed magic spells, you should have a good rest." ”

Father Aristarch shook his hand to stop Charlie, who came to support him, and he strode to the porthole to look at the Science Gate fleet that was being hit by cannonballs in the distance: "It's okay, I am a servant of the Lord, and I have the protection of the Lord. I went back to my room to recuperate after casting the spell, and suddenly realized that our attack was a little too reckless. The fleet of Science Gate suddenly escorted a large number of civilian ships to the unknowable seas, and there must be a major operation. As far as we know, Science Gate has unique insights in the great geographical discoveries, the earth is a sphere, gravity, heliocentrism and other concepts, all of which were first put forward by Mr. Long, the queen of Science. And we, the Holy See, after studying and praying to the Lord, also believe that Mr. Houlong is right. In the past, some priests believed that the earth was flat, and that the geocentric theory was complete nonsense. Think about it, too, the center of the earth is the place of hell and the lair of the devil, how can the great and all-powerful Lord live in the center of the earth? Only the bright sun is the temple of the Lord. ”

Father Aristarch was suddenly a little excited when he said this, it turned out that when he first heard the theory of the earth, gravity, and heliocentrism from the mouth of the secret agent, he was also very surprised, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, so he wrote an article and debated it in the Holy See, which caused some stubborn old-fashioned attacks, and even thought that he had become a heretic in the East for a long time.

Fortunately, the Pope finally used the natural ability to communicate with the Lord, and when the Geocentric Theory and Heliocentric Theory were placed on the altar in the temple, a ray of holy light suddenly shone down, turning the Geocentric Theory into ashes, which brought the attack on Aristarchus in the Holy See to an abrupt end.

Charlie didn't care what kind of helicentric he was talking about, he didn't care where the Lord lived, he cared about fighting, and killing heretics under the guidance of the Lord was what he was most happy about.

Charlie asked, "Father Aristarch, what are we going to do next?"

Aristarch patted Charlie on the broad shoulder: "Charlie, your decision just now is correct, we are going to defeat the ironclad ships of the Science Gate, capture the civilian ships, and find out their true destination! I have a hunch that at the end of the course of the Science Gate fleet, there must be an amazing gift! That may even be the greatest grace the Lord has given to his people!"

Charlie was stunned for a moment, his pupils widened, and his breath was short: "Father Aristarch, you can't be talking about the New World, right? God, I have also heard that the most respected priest in the Holy See is talking about the pagan Houlong's knowledge of continental plates, according to this theory, there should be several new continents in the sea!"

Li Hua was careless, and compiled this knowledge into the new textbook, and when Guo Dalu realized that once this knowledge was circulated, it would help the Westerners find the New World early, and hurriedly ordered the books to be recycled, but it was still a step too late, and it was passed on to the church by Aristarchus.

Therefore, it can be seen that after the butterfly flapps its wings, the consequences are beyond the control of even the traverser himself.

A sickly flush appeared on Aristarchus's face, and he nodded heavily: "Yes, the New World, the new virgin land, the land of the Lord's favor, the land of the ancestors! In the New World, we can colonize more people, open up more wealth, and spread the gospel of the Lord, that will be the supreme glory of the Lord! Charlie, if you really dedicate the New World to the Lord, then you will become the greatest glorious paladin of all time!"

Charlie's eyes sparkled with excitement, the Radiant Paladins are the greatest knights of the Holy See, only nine knights have received this supreme honor so far, and they have also made great achievements for the Lord and the Holy See, including the recovery of the holy city of Irusalem occupied by the barbarians, the destruction of the dragon that devoured the beautiful maidens, the rescue of the king on the battlefield, etc., and now, Charlie will also become one of these troubadours - no, the great heroes that are now circulated on the radio!

Charlie yelled: "What are you waiting for, order the whole fleet, rush up, I will smash the Science Gate fleet to the bottom of the sea in the shortest possible time, even if it is a head-on collision, it doesn't matter - our armor is thicker than theirs!"

The two ironclad fleets, like two dueling knights in the rainy night, charged face to face, and Wu Qing was at first puzzled why this unknown enemy gave up his long-range firepower advantage and took the initiative to rush towards him, but soon understood that the enemy's real target was the civilian ships that were leaving the battlefield.

What a cunning enemy, what a clever enemy!

If you want to go head-to-head, let's do it!

Fortunately, after the desperate repair of the engineers - really desperate repairs, six engineers died under enemy fire - the optical sight on the Wuqing flagship was finally repaired. Although the radar is still unusable, the optical sight finally does not have to make the Uqing fleet blind.

Uqing immediately ordered the entire fleet to transmit the observation data on his ship to the other ships through the data link, and then concentrated the fire, boom, the cannon of the Uqing fleet finally broke the silence and roared, pouring the vengeful steel rain on the enemy's head.

Charlie's fleet was shot one after another, although Charlie's fleet armor was thicker than that of Science Gate, but considering the weight of the hull and the speed of sailing, it could only be above the waterline, as well as turrets, bridges and other important parts of the armor, therefore, this round of artillery of Science Gate also hit many targets of Charlie's fleet, some small turrets and lifeboats were hit and destroyed, and the chimney of an ironclad ship was hit, and the power declined.

But Charlie was not moved at all, he sneered and said: "The battleship of Science Gate is really powerful, no wonder it is not that the fleet of the Ennuer Kingdom was completely wiped out in a battle, and if it is replaced by any other fleet from the West, this round of artillery must surrender immediately." However, the fleet built by Father Aristarch is more powerful than that of the Science Gate, and this small injury is nothing at all! Order all the ships to fire at full speed, rush forward, and fire at me through the nose of the Science Gate!"

The adjutant reminded: "Driving at a high speed will affect the accuracy of artillery fire, and at such a long distance, the dispersion of shells is too large, and it is difficult to hit enemy ships." ”

Charlie said arrogantly: "Then stop the shelling and drive at full speed!"

Wu Qing also discovered the unusual behavior of the unknown warship, and after a little calculation, he understood the purpose of the commander of the enemy fleet -- people don't care about your shelling at all! Hell! When did such a powerful fleet appear on this sea?!

However, through the optical sight, Uqing also discovered the weakness of the enemy ship, that is, the speed and agility of the enemy ship were inferior to that of his own fleet.

Although Aristarch got the method of processing curved propellers through the spies of the Enslaved Country, after all, it is not as good as the original science gate - that is inevitable, you know, the shipyard in Houlong Village is used to process propellers, but from the 21st century multi-axis computer machine tools, its processing accuracy, even if Aristarch uses magic can not be compared.

After capturing this subtle difference, Uqing immediately ordered the fleet to turn, using his slightly superior mobility to widen the gap between himself and the enemy ships, while constantly smashing cannonballs on the opponent's head.

Charlie chased the Wuqing fleet on the sea, and after several rounds of artillery fire, many of his own warships were hit and smoked, he calmed down a little, although his fleet was heavily armored, but it was not invincible, and it would still be damaged, not to mention the casualties, but it could no longer be beaten like this and not fight back.

Charlie was also extremely cunning, and immediately ordered the fleet to chase in the direction of the civilian ships fleeing, which forced Uqing to order the fleet to stop maneuvering and turn to a head-on battle with the enemy fleet.

At some point, the rain stopped, the rumbling cannons rolled on the sea, and huge cannonballs roared through the air like trains, some crashed headlong into the sea, splashing high columns of water, and some crashed into the heavy armor plates, bursting out with a rain of steel and flames, harvesting the lives of the soldiers on the battleship.

The two fleets of Wuqing and Charlie have been fighting fiercely for several hours, but in terms of overall combat power, it is Charlie's fleet that has the upper hand, but the crew of the Wuqing fleet has been trained for "many years" in the Jade Bottle of Annihilation, and many of Charlie's crew have been transferred from the old sailboats, and when training on Tanegashima Island, it is unlikely that the ship will sail far away for the sake of secrecy, so in terms of training, it is much worse than the Wuqing fleet.

It was with this slight advantage that the Uqing barely managed to reach a draw with the enemy, but as time passed, the losses suffered by the Uqing fleet became more and more serious.

"Report! The ammunition depot of the No. 3 ship exploded, and although the captain of the ship urgently filled the ammunition depot with water, the ship was so damaged that it had to abandon the ship. ”

"Report, the seventh ship and the eighth ship called, their main guns were destroyed, and they could only attack the enemy with their tail guns. ”

"The boiler room of the eleventh ship was hit, it has lost power, it is floating at sea, it is besieged by several enemy ships, and it is in urgent need of rescue!"

One by one, the battle reports were sent to Wu Qing like a stream, the situation was critical, Wu Qing's face was pale, in the past, the ironclad fleet of the Science Gate was the only overlord on the sea, even if it was attacked by the big octopus sea snake, he was confident, but the opponent he met this time was too strong. What's more, the enemy is unintentional, and he is unprepared and prepared, the unknown enemy fleet's artillery fire is fiercer than his own, and the protection is better than his own, and the fierce battle lasted for a long time, and many of his ships were damaged, but although the enemy also had several ships injured and emitting black smoke, there were no major losses, and the artillery fire was still fierce.

Wu Qing closed his eyes, opened them again, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send a telegram to Houlong Village, ask Mr. Houlong for help, just say that our fleet is under siege and urgently needs rescue, and if it is a moment late, this operation to develop Australia will be a complete failure." ”

Wu Qing's move is also unthinkable, he knows that Mr. Houlong is dealing with the matter of fighting with the Luofu faction, and asking him for help at this time will only distract him and drag the back of the scientific gate, but Wu Qing has to do this, his personal honor and disgrace are small, the development of the whole Australia is big, and the safety of tens of thousands of civilians on civilian ships is the most important.

Guo Dalu had just received the news of the victory in the battle with the Luofu faction, and then he received a telegram that the Wuqing fleet had been suddenly attacked and the Australian development fleet was in danger!

Guo Dalu stared at the telegram, unbelievable, he didn't believe that in this world, there was actually a battle with his super-era ironclad fleet - no, not only a war, but also a fleet that faintly had the upper hand!

Could it be that there is another time-traveler in this world, who created this fleet that should not exist in this plane, and then attacked himself?

No, no, absolutely not!

As a traverser, Guo Dalu knew how long it would take him to start from scratch and go from being poor to making a steam-powered ironclad ship.

If it's not a traverser, is it another force? a cultivator or a country, and who is the real force behind it?

No matter what, these things will be talked about later, the top priority is to save the Wuqing fleet and save the Australian development of civilian ships!

Guo Dalu carefully calculated that the shipyard in Houlong Village was building a brand-new warship with a new generation of internal combustion engines and missiles, but it had not yet been officially launched, so it would not be useful at all; what if an airplane was used? No, the legs of the Jian-6 plane were too short, and it would not be able to run to the sea to support Wuqing.

Just run to the sea with Lin Yuanchen and kill the enemy who suddenly appeared - but Lin Yuanchen protected Brother Hao and his party, just ended the fight with the Luofu faction and withdrew to Hangzhou, I don't know if the Luofu faction will suddenly change the hexagram, in case the head of the Luofu faction, Tai'an Jushi, comes to a surprise attack, but it still depends on Lin Yuanchen to meet the enemy.

By the way, in the hands of the big girl on Yizhou Island, there are still two 022 missile boats, if they are urgently sent to sea to support the Wuqing fleet - alas, no, although the maximum range of the 022 missile boat's Eagle Strike-83 anti-ship missile reaches 200 kilometers, it needs relay guidance, and there must be other warships or early warning aircraft in front to provide the target location through the data link. Otherwise, the missile will fall directly into the sea.

The data link system of the Wuqing fleet has not yet been integrated with the 022 missile boat - this mistake is that Guo Dalu is worried that the 022 missile boat is too advanced and powerful - this thing is used against aircraft carriers, so he wants to keep it as secret as possible.

Only the hundreds of righteous students selected by the girl who are most loyal to Guo Dalu have been trained to operate the 022 missile boat, although Wu Qing controls the ironclad fleet, he doesn't know that the 022 missile boat is such an anti-heaven existence.

But now, Guo Dalu is blind, and for a while, he really can't think of a way to rescue the Wuqing fleet urgently.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded outside the Guo family's old house: "Tai'an Jushi, the head of the Luofu faction, meet Mr. Houlong, the head of the Science Gate, and please forgive me for the uninvited guest." ”

Guo Dalu was taken aback, this Luofu faction had just made a fuss at the Douxian Conference, and had to admit defeat in public, why did a guy run to his door now? Damn, the air defense system in Houlong Village was useless to this Tai'an layman!

Nowadays, Lin Yuanchen, Hao Ge'er and other people with the strongest combat effectiveness in the scientific sect are in Hangzhou, even Yu Qing, Fan Chongzi and other people who help are not around, leaving only one Chen Qingdai, who is still sick and crooked, is recuperating in a sanatorium these days, Guo Dalu is really not sure that he can beat Tai'an Jushi, but he has already arrived at the door, but he can't show weakness.

Guo Dalu opened the drawer, took out a five-four-style pistol, checked it in his hand, and smiled bitterly, this thing is not much stronger than a piece of scrap iron for Tianxian, he stuffed the pistol into the drawer, and said loudly: "Please come in, there is nothing particular about the Burrow, please feel free to Daxian." ”

Tai'an Jushi smiled on his face, and entered Guo Dalu's study familiarly, but he was not familiar with the way, this place, Tai'an Jushi has come more than once, and Lin Yuanchen is not the only one who will perform the clever invisibility technique in this world.

Tai'an raised his palm to Guo Dalu and saluted: "Mr. Houlong is polite, but he took the liberty to come to the door, but he had something to ask for." ”

Guo Dalu was stunned, he originally thought that the Tai'an monks came to ask for the guilt because they were not satisfied with the loss of the Douxian Conference to the Science Gate, but he didn't expect that as soon as the Tai'an monks opened their mouths, they came to ask for each other.

Guo Dalu hesitated for a moment: "Tai'an monks are too modest, the Luofu faction has been inherited for nearly 10,000 years, the Luofu Seven Immortals are famous, and my science sect has only been created for a few years, how can I ask for the word "two words?"

Tai'an Jushi still had a gentle smile on his face, whether it was that the Luofu faction had lost a disgraced thing in front of all the cultivators before, he smiled and said: "The inch is long, the ruler is short, Mr. Houlong himself once said that the master is the teacher." In fact, the head of this sect admires Mr. Houlong very much, and the science and technology you promote have their own strengths compared to spiritual power spells. In fact, this time, my Luofu faction and the Science Gate met at the Douxian Conference, which was caused by a few unangry minions of this faction, and I didn't lose unjustly at all. When the head of this family returns to Luofu Mountain, he will punish them well. ”

Guo Dalu listened to the meaning of Tai'an's words, and he really didn't come to look for trouble, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I don't know what happened to Tai'an?"

The Tai'an monk was also happy, and said bluntly: "I want to ask the Science Gate to help the Luofu faction and capture the lair of the five ghosts in Xishan." ”

Guo Dalu frowned, and didn't say anything, when suddenly the door curtain was lifted, and Chen Qingdai walked in from outside: "The five ghosts of Xishan? These five ghosts have been famous for a long time, and they are all old ghosts that are more than 10,000 years old.
