Chapter 371 The drifting island

On the vast sea, a moving "land" was covered with "saids" of various colors. Following the ocean currents, with the weak sails and currents, they slowly drifted towards Da Chu.

When he saw it at first, Renault was startled. After a closer look, he felt incredible. The mind of this Ao Ren was really unusual and could do such an outrageous thing.

Of course, this is not land, but composed of countless rafts of all sizes connected together. The longest place is more than 130 miles, and the narrowest place is more than 40 miles, forming a raft drifting island with a total area of ​​more than 6,000 square miles.

There are more than 2.6 million people living on this super artificial island. I don’t know how long they have been floating on the sea. Many of them don’t even have clothes on them, and the “Sail” is patched layer by layer.

This ‘island’ is not small, and the population density is even more terrifying. They use their homes as units, in groups of three to eight people, and have a residential raft and a material raft.

When the God of Wealth scanned them, there was no much supplies on the island and he barely survived by fishing. At the speed of this artificial "island", it would take at least two months to reach Da Chu. Renault could not imagine how these people could survive the long two months.

Judging from their fishing methods, although they were Ao people, Renault also felt particularly uncomfortable.

First, select a person, draw a hole in his arm, let the blood flow into the exposed sea water between the raft connections, and then wait.

There will never be a lack of blood-eating fish in the sea. It won’t take long to wait for a group of sharks to swim from afar, dozens of people jump into the sea, kicking the water constantly, attracting the attention of the sharks. They have almost no iron tools in their hands, and they rely solely on the number of people to fight the sharks in the water.

This seemed very dangerous, but they seemed to have been used to it. At the cost of two people being slightly injured, they pulled a shark more than two meters long onto a raft, and hundreds of people began to share the food.

Wait until the next day, another group of people will catch fish, and the others will try to lie in the shadows and remain motionless, so as to reduce physical consumption as much as possible.

Renault has been observing for several days and has been hesitating in his heart. This artificial raft island has no defensive capabilities. Even a transport ship can kill all these people. Isn’t that cruel?

Facts have proved that although the Apollo was in a very difficult situation, he was much smarter than Renault imagined. Although this raft island was a last resort, it was not as fragile as Renault imagined.

The unarmed Ao people were massacred, and the number reached more than two million. Renault really couldn't do it. But he knew in his heart that this so-called kindness was unsuccessful. These Ao people didn't know how long they had been drifting on the sea, which not only had a huge impact on their bodies, but also had a distorted human nature.

According to the saying on earth, after a person lives in extreme environments for a period of time, he will inevitably develop mental illness.

Renault had no doubt that these people were pitiful now, when they arrived in Da Chu, with the help of the two fleets of the Ao people, they would never be lenient, and they would even be more crazy than the Ao people's army.

Raft Island is different from the fleet. It moves too slowly and the God of Wealth discovered it earlier, giving Renault and Dachu enough reaction time.

Renault didn't know how to convey information to the Ministry of War of the Great Chu. He hesitated for a long time and could not write a single word, so he simply drew a few paintings.

"Term this letter to General Wei Wenchang at the fastest speed." Renault said. In fact, Wei Wenchang is not the Minister of War, he is just the General of Yulin, but Renault is quite familiar with him.

"Yes." Huya took the letter, turned around and went out to arrange it. He followed his husband. This was the first time that the husband asked the information to be delivered as fast as possible.

When Huya left, Renault was still sighing: "It's incredible, how did they do it? The raft island looks big, but it's actually very fragile. Just a small storm is enough to tear the rafts apart. They can actually float from Austria to here."

Naturally, Renault would not know how much the Ao people paid to find out this safe current, thousands of ships sank and disappeared, and tens of thousands of people were buried in the sea.

Of course, the Austrians are unwilling to do this, but there is no way. Even if they make all their efforts to build ships, they will not be able to take away all the people in Austria. Not to mention all the people, even one-tenth of them can't do it.

What should I do if the remaining nine out of ten people?

It’s not how kind the top leaders of the Ao people are, but when the people know this news, even one-tenth of the people don’t want to leave Austria. When people know that they will die, no legal rules cannot be bound, and even muskets cannot stop them.

Behind them are the constantly shaking earth, floods, and magma. They have no choice but to jump into the sea to swim, they still have to wander away from the soon-to-be-destroy Austria.

It is very simple to solve this problem. If enough ships cannot be provided, then give these people a hope.

A safe ocean current was born from luck. In fact, there are not many people who know whether this ocean current is really safe. After all, this artificial raft island needs to be drifted on the sea for nearly two years before it can reach Dachu.

Although hope is slim, it is a possible path to survival. As long as people have hope of survival, they are easy to control.

Compared to shipbuilding, it is much easier to log and make rafts. If you connect these rafts together, you will be connected continuously when you encounter such rafts on the sea, and finally form this super large raft as land.

What Renault saw was the first group of civilians who went into the sea. The time they set off was similar to that of Dong Guanyue. Dong Guanyue had led a team to occupy the Romon Islands for almost two years. This giant raft had only floated here, and it deviated from its voyage, passed by the Romon Islands and headed straight for the Great Chu.

The first batch usually represents a more adventurous spirit. Even these people never thought that they could drift on the sea for so long. Many people even felt that they did not need land and could drift on the sea forever. They could survive generation after generation on the sea.

Since leaving Austria, they have also encountered several islands that are not suitable for survival. Their choice is to cut down all the trees on the island, whether they are useful or not, tie them into rafts, constantly increasing the area of ​​this giant raft and expanding their living space.

At the beginning, most families had only a small piece of living rafts, and each person could only get one or two square meters. Now, the living space was obviously much larger.

From holding hope to disappointment, and then to despair, they are now used to it. They know where they will float and how long they will need to float. Now they feel good.

Because, they are still alive!

A month and a half later, the remnants of the Southern Navy and the few remaining warships of the Northern Navy formed a fleet of more than 400 warships, found the giant raft outside the sea and attacked it.

It turned out that the facts were far less easy than they thought. When the attack began, the connection between the rafts was cut off, and a giant raft turned into eight or nine hundred thousand small rafts, although they were very fragile, but in such a large number.

When the fleet was massacre, water ghosts were drilling ships under the water. This caused great trouble to the fleet. When they solved these water ghosts, the Ao people's rafts had already fled in all directions.

The Dachu fleet killed more than 100,000 people in one day, but when night fell, their nightmare had just begun.

It was a quiet night. When the sky turned white, the fleet commander was surprised to find that they were surrounded, surrounded by countless small rafts in the sea. The surrounding rafts were once again connected, and the Chu fleet was surrounded in the middle.

The next battle was too bloody, with 60,000 navy troops fighting to the teeth against more than two million crazy Austrians.

In the end, only half of the warships returned, and more than half of the casualties were killed. As for how many Austrians were killed, there was no way to calculate it. According to the fleet commander, it was at least between 30 and 500,000.

Judging from the quantity alone, this was a big victory, but Chu Ren knew that this was a defeat. Judging from the losses of the two naval armies in the south and north, it was difficult for Da Chu to organize an offshore battle of this scale again.

Renault watched the massacre he originally thought was too unexpected to him through the God of Wealth. Unfortunately, the distance was too far. Even if he discovered the tactics of the Ao people in the dark, he could not pass it on to the Great Chu fleet far away from the sea. In the end, he simply stopped watching. The scene of flesh and blood flying and attracting countless sharks to devour was really invisible.

In contrast, although the performance of the Divine Workers Army is dull and awkward, and sometimes childish and ridiculous, every result makes Renault quite satisfied. The performance of the Tiger King even gives him a stunning feeling.

Of course, Renault felt that if he was the one who personally commanded the troops, the result would be better. In fact, sometimes people would always feel this illusion. After watching other people's entire combat process, they would think that they were better than others.

There is only one reason: you are a bystander. If you experience it yourself, then the feeling will be completely different.

Renault's confidence is naturally different from those bystanders. In fact, he has always been a "bystander". Even in the game, he can use the scanning function of the God of Wealth to know the enemy situation in advance.

"Sir." The sound of tiger teeth came from his ears. Renault turned his head and looked, feeling that he should have called himself for a while.

Recently, Renault discovered that his secret disease became more and more serious. He always watched the God of Wealth distracted and often could not hear others calling him.

"It's something!" Renault asked. He just saw a small-scale annihilation battle by the Divine Workers Army. It felt like a visual feast, both cruel and pleasing to the eye. The war was indeed a monster.

"Luo Ning is looking for a meeting outside, and a major breakthrough in Luo Ning's group's project seems to have been made." Huya said softly.

"Oh? Let her come in." After a year, Luo Ning, the number one talented woman in the Great Chu, finally began to break out?

Renault actually doesn't value the talented man and girl of Chu very much, but Luo Ning seems to be a little different. Like Mo Zi, he should have done research in nature.
