The mines fired from the mine ship are set with explosion runes of different depths, in order to bomb the entire sea area in sight. No matter how deep or shallow the sea monster is, it will be within the explosion range.
Zheng Zhilong and Taoist Liu Shui watched the scene on Tongyou Realm together. After more than a dozen black balls fell into the sea water, some sank quickly and some dived slowly due to the different buoyancy of the air in their bodies.
The 20 giant turtles looked curiously at the black iron balls around them, watching them surround dozens of turtles. Because they had no arms, legs, or heads, the turtles were not on guard at this time.
Suddenly, a black iron ball exploded, emitting a dazzling light, and the huge impact caused the pressure in the surrounding water to suddenly increase.
When the giant turtles faced danger, they instinctively shrank into their shells. At this time, other black iron balls exploded one after another, sending 20 giant turtles spinning around and causing the surrounding seawater to turn upside down.
It took a while to calm down, and the water gradually became calm. At this time, all the giant turtles cautiously poked their heads out to check what was going on around them.
After seeing the whole scene, Zheng Zhilong and Taoist Liushui looked at each other in shock.
"This...seems...it won't have much effect on these giant turtles..." Zheng Zhilong was not satisfied with this experiment, but this was their only underwater combat weapon, so what could they do...
"Well, I will report it to the Governor now and see what decision the Governor has..." Taoist Liu Shui said helplessly.
"Forget it, this is the only way." Zheng Zhilong also nodded helplessly. If this experiment is successful, they will definitely launch a massive attack next. With the current defense strength of the chain island, they cannot stop the Ming Dynasty's fleet at all.
"Withdraw, this time we have alerted the enemy..." Zheng Zhilong felt quite regretful.
"Look, they are floating up..." Taoist Liushui suddenly shouted.
Zheng Zhilong quickly stood up and looked at the sea. One after another, giant turtles emerged from the sea with triangular snake heads, and their green eyes were shining brightly in the dark night.
They saw the boats on the water, so they opened their big mouths full of sharp teeth, and streaks of blue light lit up from inside.
"No, General Zheng, this is a magic wave, they are going to fire magic..." Taoist Liu Shui suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately warned.
"Retreat, retreat..." Zheng Zhilong ordered without hesitation, then pointed at the giant turtles exposed above the sea, "Fire and shoot them down..."
In the dark night, one side emits a blazing white fireball, and the other side shoots a faint blue water ball from the sea. The two sides shoot at the same time. The two bright balls meet in the air, then pass by each other and fly to their respective targets.
The water balls shook the Ming warships like stones thrown by catapults, and most of the hulls were broken and cracked. Seeing that the situation was not good, the giant turtles immediately retracted into the sea, and the artillery shells only exploded on the water.
The damage to those giant turtles was minimal, only the turbulent currents pushed them hard into the sea.
They instinctively retracted into the turtle shell, waiting for the sea level to return before getting out of the body, and then lined up in two horizontal rows, opened their big mouths underwater again, and countless blue water balls appeared again.
"General Zheng, they are about to launch an attack underwater..." Taoist Liu Shui always pays attention to their movements and reports immediately if there is any situation.
"What?"
These giant turtles can actually launch water balloons underwater?... This surprised Zheng Zhilong. This was very bad news for them.
He suddenly thought of a terrible tactic, that is, these giant turtles could swim under their ships and launch water balloons at their warships unscrupulously. In a short time, their entire army would be annihilated.
"Don't fight with them anymore, retreat quickly..." Zheng Zhilong yelled nervously.
The Ming warship has adjusted its direction. In this windless environment, the oarsmen shook the wooden oars in their hands desperately, trying to speed up the warship and leave the battlefield.
Bang bang bang…
There was a huge crashing sound from underneath the ship, and the ship's hull was shaking violently.
"Launch mines and interrupt them..."
After waiting for a moment, more than a dozen black iron balls flew out from the four mine ships, crossed a constant distance, and then fell into the sea water.
Immediately afterwards, bright fire light radiated from the bottom of the sea, and countless bubbles also emerged from the bottom of the sea.
Taoist Liu Shui stared closely at Tongyou Realm and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw 20 giant turtles retracting into their shells and rolling around.
By the time those giant turtles stretched out their bodies from their shells, the Ming fleet had already disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Shell Island, Luo Bei City.
Qin Feng looked at the Taoist priest's flowing face in the light mirror and listened to him report the results of the experiment that night.
"Yeah, I understand. You continue to lurk. I'll go to the research institute to have a look and try to get them to come up with a reasonable plan."
Qin Feng, who was awakened in the middle of the night, was very concerned about the results of this experiment.
The Ming Dynasty fleet will be their guarantee for conquering the sea in the future, and it cannot do without strong force.
To deal with the equipment of flying monsters, the rocket car can be slightly modified to increase the amount of gunpowder in the rocket. The range and power will be much greater, enough to pose a threat to the birds in the sky.
However, the underwater mines are not satisfactory, especially when dealing with a group of giant turtles this night. The effect is extremely poor. Because they are too scattered when falling into the sea, their power is weakened a lot. Secondly, the maximum range is only 200 meters, and there is also a
The fatal flaw is that it cannot pose a threat to the sea monsters under the boat, and it is easy for them to use ship-breaking tactics.
…These must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the longer time passes, the more dangerous Ming’s fleet will be…
Qin Feng lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and his phantom clone appeared in the city space of Ming Dynasty in an instant.
It always looks like daytime here, with the same white clouds in the sky and the ever-expanding land pattern underneath.
Qin Feng had no intention of appreciating the scenery. After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, he would become fatigued after looking at it for a long time.
He flew directly up to the sky above Sakol City, and then flew straight to the corner of the city, where the institute was located.
After flying for a while, I saw ancient pavilions everywhere, connected by countless intricate plank roads. This institute covers an extremely large area, but there are only 28 Taoist priests inside.
Qin Feng's figure fell naturally, and when he was about to reach the ground, he flew parallel to the ground. After bypassing several pavilions, he came to a pavilion with a brown signboard and two large vermilion characters "Xuan Guang" written on it.
Taoist priest Xuan Guang was the elected director of the institute. Qin Feng came over to discuss the equipment needed by Ming Dynasty with Xuan Guang, and he was then responsible for the research direction of other Taoist priests.
Qin Feng came to the door on the first floor of the attic and knocked politely.
Thump…thump…thump…
Then waited quietly...
Qin Feng knew in his heart that there were inexplicable technologies everywhere in the attic. Some of them Qin Feng recognized, some he didn't recognize. If there was no one to clean up and guide them, if they encountered something that shouldn't be touched, they would never come out again after entering.
What is more important to Qin Feng is the technological items inside. If they are accidentally damaged, all the spiritual energy of the Ming Dynasty will be consumed.
Soon there was the sound of moving items inside, and soon the door was opened, and a thin Taoist priest appeared at the door.
"Captain, why do you need to come here in person..."
Qin Feng looked past him and looked inside. Inside, there were more than a dozen extra-long wooden arms carrying wooden parts back and forth at a dizzying speed.
"Well, I won't go in..." Qin Feng didn't want to affect Taoist Xuan Guang's work.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden arms in the attic all stopped, and then moved the parts that had just been moved back again at normal speed.
Qin Feng's mouth suddenly twitched...
"The mine effect this time is not good. For more details, please contact Zheng Zhilong and the others."
"Our Ming Dynasty fleet is in great need of underwater weapons such as mines, and it must be done as soon as possible."
"I need all of you to put down what you are doing and study the mine project."
Seeing Qin Feng's serious look, Taoist priest Xuan Guang suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He bowed slightly and said, "I will definitely live up to the governor's trust."
"Well, please..."
"If you have any difficulties, just ask?" Qin Feng suddenly said before leaving.
"We need more Taoist priests and spiritual energy points..."
"Well...I'll try my best..."
The next morning, Qin Feng arrived at the city lord's mansion early. Before Chang Yuchun, Hua Rong and others arrived, Qin Feng was worried about the number of Taoist priests.
There are 5 Taoist temples in Rat Mountain, with a total of 35 Taoist priests. However, there are still tens of thousands of rat prisoners who have not been converted, so they cannot be left there.
There are 8 Taoist temples in the Tenglong Kingdom, plus the first group of Taoist priests Liuyun and others in Sacol City, there are a total of 63 Taoist priests. Now the Tenglong Kingdom is only becoming stable, but there are many other forces inside, especially
They are rebels who want to overthrow his rule.
If these Taoist priests were removed now, the civilians in the town might get into trouble over religious issues, and they, the Taoist priests, would not be able to move, at least for a short period of time.
Sigh... If more Taoist temples are built, the maintenance fees of the Taoist priests will be horrifyingly high. As their levels increase, their maintenance fees will increase to the largest level of arms except generals. When their number increases, the cities of the Ming Dynasty will
You may not be able to afford them anymore...
...It seems that we can only make decisions from the aspect of aura. There are only 600,000 auras in the Ming city, but there are too many places that need auras. The Ming fleet needs to be expanded, the border army needs to be formed, and the construction of Ming cities is huge...
The construction of a city requires at least 1.5 million spiritual energy points, and four cities are 6 million points. Now the Tenglong Kingdom's monthly income is only about 600,000. There will be more Ming cities in the future. If you want to keep building them, you will need more.
A lot of spiritual energy...
"Oh, I have a headache, and I still lack spiritual energy..." Qin Feng rubbed his temples, and after just calculating for a while, his head was about to be exploded by the massive amount of spiritual energy.
"Captain, we are here, you are looking for us..." Chang Yuchun's loud voice came from outside.
Qin Feng looked up and saw Chang Yuchun, Hua Rong and rat-man Bai Ya walking into the city lord's mansion together.
"Well, let's talk while eating..."
Qin Feng clapped his hands, and the guards immediately carried a large table to the center of the hall, and plates of dishes were immediately brought to the table.
The two of them sat down unceremoniously, looking at the exquisite dishes with gleaming eyes. Every one of them was fragrant.
The strength of Qin Feng's royal chef Yuan Jiang has improved a lot, which makes Qin Feng wonder whether to open a chain hotel or the like to increase his income.
