The 1361st chapter sea battle (below, ask for a monthly ticket)
In the bottom cabin of the Victory, the steam engine made a sound like a giant beast, and the violent vibrations made the entire battleship tremble together.
The huge noise and the heat of coal burning made the engine room noisy and hot. The roar of the steam engine even covered up the sound of the cannon above them.
At this time, the temperature at sea was only about a few degrees, but the temperature inside the cabin was over 40 degrees.
In addition, there are dust from burning coal, water vapor blowing towards your face, and the pungent and unpleasant smell of various lubricants... which makes the environment in the cabin extremely harsh and makes it almost impossible to breathe.
If an ordinary person came here, they would probably not want to stay here for a second longer, but the technicians of the engineering team felt like they were in heaven, and even danced happily.
Seeing the huge turbine spinning rapidly driven by steam, Mr. Pook looked like he was looking at a lover, with a drunken expression on his face, his eyes shining brightly, and he opened his arms and shouted excitedly, "Yeah~
!That’s it, baby, that’s it, roar~! Roar to your heart’s content~!”
The technicians wiped the sweat mixed with oil from their faces, swarmed over, lifted Pook up and threw him into the air, cheering loudly with excitement.
Their marine steam engine finally regained face for once, and they no longer had to be laughed at by those train-building bastards.
The mature technology also means that they can apply to the Flying Eagle Group to establish a branch to manufacture and sell their marine steam engines.
With the current advanced technology of marine steam engines, military orders alone are enough for them to work for several years.
With the bright prospects of light, they can quickly list the company, issue stocks, and be stupid money ... Oh, obtain a large amount of funds from the keen venture capital investors, expand the cause of ship steam engines
.
More importantly, they, the technicians of the scientific research team, will receive a large amount of original stock and become rich instantly.
The technicians in the railway team were affected by the soaring stock price of Eagle Railway. The original stocks held by ordinary technicians increased dozens or hundreds of times in an instant, reaching as much as hundreds of thousands.
Kamal, the chief engineer of the project team, has soared to millions in net worth, and now he always rides a Ferrari when he goes out and in at the Alchemy Research Institute.
That stupid guy even changed his car to the latest model every six months, saying that he wanted to keep up with current fashion, so as not to crash with the poor people and not show his taste.
Grandma, there’s no way to pretend to be 13, right?
The envious colleagues in other institutes of the institute are all bleeding from the eyes. They are also engaged in scientific research and steam engines. Why is the gap so big?
As the chief engineer of marine steam engines, Mr. Pook had long been simmering with anger.
However, for a long time, the output power of marine steam engines, transmission axle and propeller technology... and other technologies were immature, which made him worry a lot.
And now, the marine steam engine has finally succeeded, and Mr. Pook can also vent his anger. He has already planned to buy a Ferrari when the time comes, and he will also buy the latest model, and most importantly, he will buy a Ferrari.
Park your car next to Kamal's.
Let that bitch know with that living fact and that big 48-year-old face that Uncle Puke has a grade higher than him~!
The steam engine drives the underwater propeller to rotate rapidly with a stable output, pushing this three-thousand-ton ship to sail on the sea at a speed of ten knots.
Even when sailing with full sail, it’s nothing more than this~!
The three battleships Victory, Sovereign and Invincible quickly turned their huge bodies, and the artillery fired fiercely at the approaching Semitic warships.
Since the distance between the two sides was less than one mile, the artillerymen were extremely accurate. They sank more than a dozen Semitic double-deck warships in succession.
At the beginning of the war, after three salvos from the Victory fleet, the Semitic navy finally discovered something unusual.
Human weapons are not ballistae at all. Even if explosive crystals are installed on the ballistae, there will be no such explosive effect.
It only took a few explosions to turn the Semitic Navy's main battleship into pieces, and the Semitic Navy's ballistae was like scratching an itch on the human ship, with no effect at all.
The tactic of the Semitic navy is to ram. Then they board the ship and fight. But if they are far away, they cannot hit them. If they are close, they will be sunk by human weapons in a few hits. How can they fight this battle?
Just when the Semitic navy in front was at a loss and became in a dilemma, three giant human ships turned at a large angle in front of them.
The Victory turned from due south to southeast. Then it continued to turn left, with the bow pointing due east, and it became a chasing situation with the Semitic fleet.
Something happened that stunned everyone in the Semitic navy. The human ship actually dropped all its sails.
After being surprised, the Semitic navy was overjoyed. Humans are really stupid~!
The people operating these ships must be a bunch of rookies who have just crawled out of their mothers' wombs.
Actually dropped the sail right in front of the enemy?
Could it be any more stupid?
So what if there are many ballistae? So what if they are powerful?
Without sails, there is no power. No matter how big the ship is, it can only be like a dead fish, staying in the sea and being slaughtered by others.
The Semitic people could clearly see that there were no weapons behind the three large ships. They could easily board the human ship as long as they got in from behind.
As for those slender boats, there is nothing to worry about.
The morale of the Semitic navy was instantly boosted.
Their courage was frightened away by the gunfire but they came back again. A high-pitched bugle sounded from behind, urging all the warships to attack.
The Semitic naval soldiers stood upright on the bow of the ship, holding knives in their mouths, grabbing the cables and yelling wildly. When the ship approached, they jumped over and started a bloody hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.
In the hearts of all Semites, there is a firm belief: in terms of weapons and equipment, the humans may be a little better than themselves, but in terms of morale, especially in hand-to-hand combat, one Semite can kill ten humans
soldiers.
At this time, we saw that the Victory was still turning left after furling all its sails. The bow of the ship slowly crossed due east and slowly pointed to the north. It turned out to be completely against the wind~!
But what puzzled all the Semites who were chasing after them crazily was that after only the bare masts were left, the three large ships not only did not stop, but actually moved faster and faster, leaving a long white wake behind the ships.
, the speed is not slower than them at all.
It seems, vaguely, as if, vaguely... a little faster than them.
The remaining three hundred meters seemed to be within reach at a glance, but no matter how hard the Semitic fleet pursued them, they could not catch up with them.
Since the Semitic ships were not equipped with steam engines, it was a great miracle that they did not retreat despite being pursued against the wind.
At this time, the three battleships quickly adjusted their direction and faced the Semitic battleship with their port side.
The artillerymen on the port side were waiting impatiently.
I heard the comrades next to me shout excitedly after firing, "I hit, I hit again~! I hit again. Hahahaha..."
But all they could do was pass the medicine packs and move the shells. They watched eagerly as their comrades obtained meritorious deeds one after another. They were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.
This period of time is very hard, just like the artillery squad leader - taking the blame, being a cuckold, and watching others have sex.
And now, it's finally their turn.
Each and every one of them immediately opened their blood-red eyes and got ready. Like evil wolves, they looked through the gun windows and glared fiercely at the ships on the opposite side.
"Fire~!"
Following the officer's order, the artilleryman immediately lit the fuse, making a loud "boom" sound, and the artillery suddenly jumped back.
The shell flew out of the barrel with a roar, turned into a black shadow that was almost invisible to the naked eye, smashed through the hull of the Semitic warship, rushed into the interior and exploded.
More than a hundred artillery pieces opened fire within a few seconds. Several Semitic warships were immediately swallowed up by the explosion and turned into fragments flying in the sky.
When the battleship was about to face them from the side, the Semitic naval soldiers already knew that something was wrong. They cleverly jumped into the sea without waiting for the cannon to be fired. Although the sea water was freezing cold, it was better than being blown to death.
Although we don’t know exactly what is driving human ships forward, they are indeed sailing northward at high speed against the wind.
This made the Semitic navy feel desperate. This battle could not be fought~!
If this continues, they will never be able to catch up with humans and will only be beaten passively.
In the command room of the Victory, Captain Glendine showed a satisfied smile. His tactics were successful, and so was Chief Engineer Puck's steam engine.
"This is where Nian's strength lies." Captain Glendine saw Jack's confusion and immediately patted him on the shoulder. "Learn more, boy, those things taught to you in school are already out of date."
.”
The first mate Jack listened to the low roar coming from the soles of his feet, with a confused expression on his face, and thought to himself: Does that big iron can really work?
What's the point of training hard on sailing skills, practicing swordsmanship, practicing physical fitness, and trying to gain the upper hand?
Just compete with whose steam engine is more powerful or whose artillery is more powerful.
Naval battles will never be the same again...
First Mate Jack comes from a naval family. He has believed since he was a child that the romance of a man at sea is to chase, collide, and fight with swords, to defeat the enemy in a hearty battle, and finally to sing loudly, sail away, and disappear in the blood-red sunset.
On the horizon…
But now naval battles have suddenly become a stage for engineers and artillerymen, sailors holding steel knives, one-eyed, lame sailors with iron hooks on their arms... They may no longer have a role to play and remain silent.
disappeared from this great era.
Captain Glendine struck a match and lit a cigar, calmly looked at the dense naval fleet outside the window, and murmured: "Is it time for a new member to appear? Tell the gunboats to be on high alert."
"Newcomer?" the first mate asked doubtfully.
Captain Glendine nodded and said, "If the enemy doesn't send reinforcements, they probably won't last until night."
"Reinforcements?"
Glendine did not speak, but pointed to the sky.

Mage Elena, dressed in fiery red, stood upright in her main aircraft, searching the sky intently.
The second wing of the Maple Leaf Danlin Flying Force led by her was flying through the dark clouds, carefully searching for traces of the enemy.
Today is bad weather that is not conducive to air combat.
Due to technical reasons, the ceiling of the undead's war fortress is much lower than that of Maple Leaf Danlin. They do not fly on high clouds like the Maple Leaf Danlin people, but can only brave the wind and snow under dark clouds.
Everyone believes that in such an important landing battle, it is impossible for the High Priest of the Undead not to send his war fortress to participate in the battle.
Therefore, the regiment led by Elena has been on guard in the sky above the Victory - in order to block the enemy, Maple Leaf Danlin gritted his teeth and squeezed them out from his own air combat troops to support Lorraine.
Although everything has been safe and sound so far, all personnel have not relaxed their vigilance at all, and still keep their eyes wide open to search for any trace of abnormality in the sky.
At this time, a big iron-gray bird suddenly flew past Elena's war fortress, as fast as a bolt of lightning.
The crew in the War Fortress seemed to hear a shout of "Beauty" coming from outside.
Elena's beautiful brows furrowed, with an unhappy expression on her face.
Adjutant Luthien slapped his forehead and groaned: "It's these show-off guys again, they can't stop for a while."
In front of the war fortress, an eagle with its wings spread glided past. But its wings did not flap at all. If you look carefully, you can see that the eagle is painted on. There is a vague glass cockpit on the eagle's head.
silhouette.
These are the Eagle fighter jets manufactured by the Boeing Aircraft Manufacturing Plant of the Flying Eagle Group. They were also sent to reinforce the battle of Fantino.
After pilot Ferreira saw Master Irina at the airport behind him, he was immediately shocked and began his epic journey of pursuit.
After being severely shocked by Elena seven times, throwing five bottles of hot water from the balcony, and six pots of flowers, this guy finally stopped singing a heartbreaking love song under Elena's window.
, but this does not mean that he has retreated.
After the defeat on the ground, Ferreira began to pursue more enthusiastically in the air, his Eagle fighter always orbiting Irina's Flame.
Like a male bird in heat, he made all kinds of thrilling movements. Then he shouted inside, which annoyed Elena.
Even in battle, Ferreira never forgets to use his flying skills.
At this time, Ferreira was seen rolling and flying more than ten meters away from the Flame. Fortunately, he still had time to blow kisses to Elena.
Elena snorted coldly, her voice as cold as ice, and said: "Tell the artilleryman to blast him away."
Luthien reminded with a wry smile: "Boss, that's one of our own."
Elena said disdainfully: "So what? I'll just say it was an accidental injury during the battle. It's just a matter of making a report."
Luthien sighed and said, "Sister, if the Military Justice Department investigates, it will be very troublesome."
Elena snorted, shook off Luthien, strode to the window, raised her hand and shot a bolt of lightning towards Ferreira.
Orchid's electric arc flew over the head of the Eagle. Ferreira shrank his neck in fright, pressed the nose of the aircraft and disappeared quickly.
Elena clapped her hands with satisfaction, exhaled comfortably, and said, "This guy just deserves a beating."
Luthien could only nodded stupidly, and was about to persuade her boss. Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "There is something in the clouds."
"Where? Location?"
A mage pointed at the dark clouds on the right and said: "At two o'clock, I saw a black shadow flashing past. It is definitely not one of ours."
"Send the signal, turn around and take a look." Elena immediately ordered.
The second wing quickly turned around and flew to the right.
A black figure flashed through the gap in the clouds, and the unique right pyramid shape of the undead tribe was clearly visible.
"The enemy is right there, swoop down and scatter them." Irina held back her anger for a long time and immediately found a place to vent her anger when she saw the enemy.
She pointed her finger and led the second regiment to rush down from the clouds.
The war fortress passed through the dark clouds at high speed, and black clouds surrounded the war fortress. The room was dark for a moment, but after a few seconds, it was under the dark clouds, and the vision suddenly became clear.
The densely packed undead war fortresses are just below the clouds, flying against the wind and snow.
This number made Adjutant Luthien take a sudden breath of cold air. The sky was filled with undead war fortresses as big as mice, and further down, the sea was covered with Semitic warships that were like bugs.
"Almost two hundred~!" Miss Adjutant exclaimed, "Where did they come from?"
Mage Elena looked calm and said: "The enemy has pressed forward with all its strength, but it doesn't matter. We are born to fight with less to defeat more."
The undead obviously didn't notice the war fortress above their heads, they were still flying straight forward.
In some places farther away, you can vaguely see three huge human warships firing at the Semitic warships.
I don't know if they were shot or for other reasons, but there was thick smoke billowing from the tails of all three battleships.
Elena didn't care to look carefully. Her first task was to hold back the enemy's war fortress. Once these war fortresses were attacked, the three warships would not just smoke.
The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and with an order, Maple Leaf Danlin's war fortress immediately opened fire, and dozens of orange-red flashes suddenly appeared in the snowflakes in the sky.
In the months since the war started, the people of Maple Leaf Danlin have developed superb combat skills in the fierce battles, and they have gained a high advantage. The artillery fire accurately hit several undead war fortresses.
They immediately exploded into a ball of fire and fell from the sky like meteors, attracting the attention of the navy fighting on the sea.
Only then did the other undead tribe realize that they were being attacked, and immediately dispersed in all directions, and some simply climbed up and hid in the clouds.
Elena ordered loudly: "Disperse as a group and pay attention to protect our fleet."
The war fortress of the second regiment immediately separated and rushed after the undead tribe.
Countless rays of light immediately lit up in the sky, with red flashes from cannon fire and green meteors from magic cannons crisscrossing the sky.
While the undead tribe and the Maple Leaf Danlin people were having a great fight, no one noticed that above the heads of the Victory fleet, a group of big birds that had been hovering under the clouds changed direction.
Ferreira coquettishly opened the cockpit window, and the cold wind rushed in. He stretched out his arms and waved them forward vigorously, shouting: "Brothers, let us teach them what aerial combat is!"
"
The pilots of more than a dozen Eagle fighter jets couldn't hear what Ferreira was shouting at all, but through his gestures, everyone understood what the number one pilot meant. It was long overdue to give that woman with eyes above her head a look.
.
War fortresses are nothing, fighter planes are the masters of the future sky~!
The pilots shouted excitedly and used all their strength to control the fighter jets to bravely face the enemy.
Fighting broke out simultaneously on the ground, at sea and in the air.
Amidst the dancing white snow all over the sky, the thunderous sound of artillery fire continued.
