Chapter 777: Peacock Islands and flying shear boat launching

Most of the area is located in the Eritrean Sea with a tropical maritime climate. It is the second sea in the known world after the Black Sea. It is also an important transportation hub for civilizations to communicate with the Peacock Islands through the Treasure Sea.
Because of the climate, the seaworthiness season on this sea area is extremely long. Except for the dangerous summer with frequent storms, there are a large number of merchant ships traveling between the east and the west of the source continent in other seasons.
Among them, the Hilius who actually occupied the Peacock Islands and monopolized the local trade were the most.
call-!
There is no cloud in the sky, and there is a huge fleet on the azure sea. The formation of warships outside and large merchant ships is lined up in three columns.
The total number has reached an astonishing 31, which is not much worse than the previous treasure fleet.
Most of these ocean-going ships are flying the flame flag of the Hilius Empire, and you can still see the strong shadow of the current largest sea power country that has not fallen ill.
However, in addition to the Hilius, there are many dark-skinned, short stature, and most of the indigenous people with dark brown curly hair.
That is the Negrito, an indigenous people from the Peacock Islands.
The Peacock Islands seem to be a whole on the surface, but it's just a collective name for a series of Tubangs on the Peacock Islands. The only difference is that there is only a human species.
Most of them are employees of the Hilius Santa Barbia company that now manages the Peacock Islands. Of course, they are just the kind of handymen who are not much better than slaves and don't have to lose money even if they die accidentally.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! ...
The whip flowers rang above the head one after another.
"Quickly, taking advantage of the good weather now, move all the spices to the deck to dry! If I notice a bit of musty, I will peel off your skins."
Facing the big-waisted merchant shipowner of Hilius, these dark-skinned Negritos had no sense of dissatisfaction on their faces, as if obedience had been carved into the depths of their blood.
The truth is pretty much the same.
Since the Peacock Islands have experienced at least nine invasions from the West since three thousand years ago recorded in historical data, they have also changed nine waves of owners, indirectly resulting in a comprehensive blend of blood, culture, and beliefs.
And because of the unique geographical environment, a relatively closed cultural environment has been maintained, maintaining a certain degree of independence.
It can be said that this is a nation that has maintained its own culture, but has become accustomed to being ruled.
In the Peacock Islands, which is very mysterious to most, the indigenous people mainly believe in a series of gods, mainly "the lord of war elephants" and "the king of ivory throne" Lan Tigos.
The Varna Order, which was also formed by the of wind, Vayu, the of rain, Paseniye, the of water, Apas, the of fire, Ajini, the of sun, Suriya, and other gods of nature, ruled Nig The spiritual world of Li Tuo people.
but.
These primitive gods on the bright side did not monopolize the belief of the Peacock Islands. They are also in the source continent, and have been infiltrated like a sieve by the seven gods and various demigods for a long time.
Even the [names of gods] mentioned above are not necessarily the vests of any great god.
There is also a saying that the "Peacock Islands" is the "Museum of Race and Faith" for the entire human world, but the current secular ruler is undoubtedly Santa Bambia, which is jointly controlled by Philip II and 19 gentlemen. the company.
Every year, they grab a large sum of profits from here and send them to the native land of Hilius, which is one of the important roots supporting this huge empire. Of course, it has almost become the only root now, and the degree of importance is self-evident.
However, although these Negritos accepted it, they actually made a significant contribution to the scientific and technological enlightenment of the entire Old World since modern times.
And their source of technology also has a very mysterious legend.
It is said that the first unified dynasty on this island was in the period of "Mauritius Dynasty".
One day when King Chandala Gupta prayed for blessings by the sea, suddenly a golden box floated out of the more eastern "storm belt" and was picked up by the servants of the kingdom and offered to the king.
Following the guidance of a certain wise man, King Chandala Gupta took a fast and bathed for a month, and finally successfully opened the treasure chest called the "Purple Lacquer Intarsia Fish Algae Pattern Gold Box".
The original technologies, including ceramics, silk, tea, paper, gunpowder, compasses, etc. that have been spread to modern times are all derived from that treasure box, and they have profoundly affected the civilization of the world in this era.
However, the Peacock Islands have never been completely unified since then. After thousands of years of ups and downs, the [Purple Lacquer Intarsia Fish Algae Gold Box Treasure Box] has long been unknown where it has gone.
Even if the treasure that ran out of the "storm belt" really existed, only those indigenous demigods with an endless lifespan knew.
suddenly.
Hum...
None of the busy people in the fleet noticed at all. In the 30,000-meter-high sky, a huge, shapeless creature's pupils shrank slightly, quietly transmitting a terrible signal.
In the perspective of this "Seagull Elf".
Soon there was another naval fleet composed entirely of fast warships, which suddenly sprang out of the sea, and slanted into the queue of this fleet with a thunderous force, and launched an attack brazenly.
"Fire!"
On the gun positions on the upper and lower double-layer artillery decks, the movements of the gun groups are neat and uniform.
boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
The orange-red cannon flames reflected red on the sea, and also the eyes of every Hilius.
During this period of time, these "Galliott-type heavy cruisers", all equipped with 24 or 32-pound guns, were like wolves waiting for an opportunity to ambush the main routes in the Eritrean Sea.
Seizing the opportunity, a piece of meat will be severely torn off from Sirius' merchant ship. The larger the fleet, the more they like it.
Those who can beat them can't run them, those who can run can't beat them, of course, more often they can't run and beat them.
At least two positions ahead of the design concept of sailing boats, let this broken fleet occupy a huge advantage.
"It's another fleet of unconventional fleets, Tulips, fight back to me!"
On the pilot ship at the forefront of the fleet, a major general commander uttered an angry roar.
A sea battle began.
But when the Hilius fought back bravely, the Negritos on the ship had no sense of resistance at all, and had already rushed to the lower cabin.
The Hilius did not expect them to help, or that they did not want the Negritos to intervene in the fight.
After all, they used to be lazy on the ship to go to the toilet, and finally the battleship was blown up by dung. Can you believe this? !
Hillius’ flagship "Flying" ushered in its opponent, the commander's eyes were red, and his voice was like thunder:
"Damn Tulips, in non-wartime conditions, you dare to blatantly attack the official fleet of the empire. You simply can't bear the anger of your majesty!"
A young major officer wearing a close-fitting "venom armor" holding a blood-colored long sword sneered disdainfully:
"Emperor? As early as a year ago, the Hilius were no longer qualified to speak to us condescendingly! Take the ship, seize the ship, and kill me!"
They took advantage of the fact that Hilius was too busy to directly intervene in the war, and completely cut off the last root that supports this huge empire, no matter what your emperor thinks.
boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
The killing sound shook the sky, and the gunpowder was filled with smoke.
After two hours of fierce fighting, except for those scattered and fleeing, about half of the merchant ships of Hilius were left here.
When the soldiers cleaned the battlefield.
As the leader of the sailor, Elantra relieved his self-cleaning function and spotlessly [Venom Armor], sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
After resting for a while, he pulled out a brass talisman with a gear and clockwork structure from his neck, and a happy smile spread across his face.
Obviously this was a parting gift from the "alchemy school" little wizard Irina.
"Hey, Elantra goes on."
Reaching out to catch a bottle of rum thrown by his captain, first put the amulet away like a baby, then pulled out the cork and gurgled a big mouthful, spitting out a long breath of wine.
"It's a good harvest today. It won't take a few battles for your rank to be on par with me as a colonel."
Elante smiled, and touched him with the wine bottle:
"Captain, you are polite. It doesn't matter whether you have a military rank or anything. I just want to find a chance to temper myself."
The old captain couldn't help but roll his eyes.
‘First give me the [Transcendental Armor], [Blood Lake Light] and the amulet all over my body, before I say this. UU reading www. uukanshu.com’
I don't bother to discuss this kind of uneasy topic with this guy who has a deep background and a treatment similar to that of a prince.
Just looking at the several supply ships that belonged to my own family that were fast approaching in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh again:
"If all these flying shears will run on the sea in the future, even our heavy cruiser may be able to retire. It is worthy of being the Lord Saint Ivan who is beloved by the goddess."
call out! call out! call out!
Sailing in the distance are three ships with hollow bows, aspect ratios greater than 6:1, and sails as wide as large sea ships flying close to the water. It is exactly what Aiwen has not brought to reality after completing the design as paper. "Flying Shear Ship".
There is no pirate ship in this world that can catch up to its heels.
Even the large "flying shears" that can run 12-14 knots even with full load can be called the king of speed in the sailing age!
Take the example of traveling through the Black Sea. It takes two months for others to use ocean currents at the earliest, but it takes less than a month. The prosperity of maritime trade is destined to greatly contribute to the rise of the New World and the Duchy of Galliot.
At present, it is only for military use, and the number of launches is not large.
But when they are truly popular, it will be enough for pirate ships to eat ashes directly behind, and indirectly sound the death knell for the existence of the profession of pirates.
In the future, when the steam iron armored ship is launched, the profession of pirates will usher in a swan song.
Aiwen: Sa, since labor and capital have already washed their feet and landed ashore, who cares?
