"Teacher, I have a request."

Sailun and Larry, the magician teacher and student, stood in front of the porthole of the command room, looking at the rolling sea with dark waves, with sighs and emotion on their faces.

A few days ago, they were wandering in a mess in the vast sea, full of pessimism about their fate. Now, they are riding in the black stone-collared iron-armored warship and returning to Arabia.

"Larry, I feel an expectation from you."

Sailun smiled softly: "Perhaps, I can guess your request."

"Teacher, I can't hide my feelings from you." Larry smiled frankly: "But I still plan to say it out myself and express my inner thoughts."

Sailun nodded and acquiesced.

Larry held the porthole with both hands and sighed: "I have never left Arabe before. I think I am poor for the rest of my life and I am afraid I will not be able to thoroughly study the magic knowledge of the association. However, when I came to the Black Stone Collar and saw everything they created, I suddenly realized that I still underestimated the meaning of knowledge too much."

"So, I hope that when Arabia is saved, I will have the opportunity to live in the Black Stone Corps, of course, provided that they are granted, and their creations that are beyond imagination will make me feel intoxicated."

"Why am I not?"

Sailon nodded understandingly: "The fascinating thing about magic is that it allows your life to find a new direction. Control those wonderful forces, sublimate themselves, and transcend mortals. But in the Black Stone Corps, I saw another direction. They used wisdom and magic to sublimate not only themselves, but even mortals have undergone new transformations because of their creation."

"Yes, they hold magical creatures. The soldiers they trained are probably not inferior to those of magicians. Their vitality and vitality affect me all the time."

Larry bowed respectfully to the teacher, with a solemn expression on his face: "So I ask you, teacher, when the disaster is over, I want to settle in Black Stone Corps."

Sailun blinked and asked, "Why not together?"

Larry was stunned for a moment, and the two of them laughed tacitly.

Yes, why not together?

Larry was about to continue the topic, but Sailun's expression moved slightly, and his eyes quickly locked on the sea in front of the left. After about ten seconds, he turned decisively: "Your Excellency the Legion Commander, Zuo Xian has a malicious fluctuation in the distance."

The reminder of the human-shaped early warning aircraft made Harald, who was studying the chart, immediately shouted to the messenger around him: "Send the order, there is an enemy situation in the waters in front of the left. Turn on the lighting and prepare to fight!"

"Yes, sir!"

Night battle is the weakness of the Black Stone Fleet. There is no way. Mortals are mortals after all and cannot surpass human limits. In order to make up for the shortcomings, another enchanting magician, Emon, used his ability after nightfall to enchant light techniques for dozens of crystal clusters, equipped them on the deck and cabin walls to provide lighting.

The rapid sound of horns whistled in the sea breeze, and the well-trained soldiers immediately removed the masks on the crystal clusters under the command of the officers.

In the endless darkness, light beams are illuminating one by one, although small, but they bring hope.

The soldiers who were waiting for the battle locked in the rolling sea until their strange backs rose and gradually surfaced.

The lighting range of the crystal light column is only three or four meters away, which is most suitable for shotguns to play. However, relying solely on shotguns, it is extremely difficult to cross this sea area and reach Sword Blade Port.

The biggest feature of sea monsters is their large number and cluster attacks. On the contrary, their armor and recovery ability are far inferior to orcs, and even the Holy Spirit Knights wearing armor.

Another point is that everyone has reached a consensus.

That is the sea monster's weak fire, which means it is afraid of high-temperature attacks such as the sun and flames.

So, a targeted weapon appeared.

That is the improved version of the grenade, which adopts a fully sealed waterproof design. In order to increase power, no fragments are added, and all burst magic powder with extremely high purity is filled with, and the high-temperature cavity effect generated by explosion in water is used to cause range killing.

Since the end of the last Orc War, the huge role of grenades has attracted attention, and bomb drop training has also been added to daily training.

Now, it's time to get the experimental results.

The soldiers guarding the deck are divided into three groups, bomb dropping groups, shooting groups and support groups. The bomb dropper's task is to throw grenades into the target sea area; the shooting group is responsible for solving the leaking fish that jumped out of the water and providing a safe environment for the bomb dropping groups; the support group remains maneuverable and flexible, and relieves the pressure on each front.

"Relieve insurance and prepare to drop bombs!"

The heads of the bomb drop teams of each ship gave the order, and the bomb droppers took off their grenades, pulled the rings, bent their arms and led their bows to be launched.

Crazy, crazy...

On the boiling sea, fin-shaped organs appeared one after another, densely packed like a rising tide.

"attack!"

Black iron grenades turned into parabolas and fell into the ups and downs.

At the same time, several black shadows jumped out of the sea, wrapped in a fishy storm, and jumped towards the deck.

Under the dark sea, dark red lights burst out, and the water columns soaring into the sky rose one after another, and countless gray shadows flew high, becoming fragmented and turned into bloody storms.

The fish monsters that jumped out of the sea in advance and their huge shell heads were simply standard targets within a distance of just a few meters. The carefully selected shooting teams all had superb shooting skills, and the shotgun in their hands ruthlessly spit out their flames.

The function of grenades is not only to kill sea monsters. Since the water is incompressible, the impact caused by the explosion makes the sea surface full of rampant turbulence, and the sea monster's movement ability is greatly reduced.

The explosion of fire, the water column soaring into the sky, and the most terrifying cluster attacks instantly became scattered. Many sea monsters that were forced to spiral up to the sky and were not killed became living targets. Many sea monsters were even blown directly onto the deck, and then beaten by the support team with a shotgun.

Fried fish for a while, and frying fish for a while.

Sailun and Larry stood in the bridge command room, looking at all this silently. Even if they had seen it once, this more rude and effective way still shocked them.

Edmund, who was standing beside Harald, murmured to himself: "How did this be done? How did this be done?"

The Blackstone fleet sailing at high speed continued to ride the wind and waves surrounded by flames and water columns, never stagnating.

In fact, sea monsters are not really endless. Their behavior is close to fish, with low intelligence, strong aggregation, consistent movement direction and speed. They change the speed direction due to the influence of the environment and nearby companions, and realize the information transmission and transfer route of foraging.

They usually swim in a certain sea area, and each sea monster is equivalent to an eye. When an individual discovers a potential target, the remaining companions are affected by it, change the direction of speed, and conduct cluster attacks.

When you are well prepared, crowded attacks are equal to vain.

Of course, this was just the first wave of attacks at night, and no one could be sure whether there was still some powerful existence in the deep ocean, and was spying on it.

The ammunition problem also faces severe tests. As a disposable item, throw one less.

And the night has just begun.

Flagship minus second floor, research room.

A wet sea monster corpse was dragged in by the soldiers. Except for the head turned into a ball of paste, the torso and limbs were kept relatively intact.

Alice, Veronica, Joe and Qin Song surrounded him. The first wave of attacks from the sea monsters didn't need them to appear in person. It would be enough to have Elena alone to kill the crystal-headed monster.

"Well—the smell is so bad!"

The corpses of the sea monster exuded a strong fishy smell, which made the witches in the room feel extremely uncomfortable, and they all covered their mouths and noses, with disgusting expressions.

"It really smells bad." Qin Song held a dagger, held back the pungent smell and nodded: "But if you want to defeat our enemies, you must understand the enemies and grasp their weaknesses."

The scales as fine as corn kernels have a slight luster, layered into natural scales, and poked with a dagger, which felt like they were poking thick bark, which was obviously blocked.

Use a dagger to pry off a scale, which is about three or four millimeters thick. When you beat it with your hands, you can fold it in half and keep breaking, proving that it is very stiff and its defense ability mainly comes from its own toughness, which can effectively offset the slashing and stabbing of cold weapons.

However, because of its limited thickness, it has a poor effect on instantaneous powerful impacts, such as bullets. The conclusion comes from the clear dense craters on the chest.

"Alice, bring the tweezers and the candlestick."

"Um."

Use tweezers to hold the scales and place them on the candlelight while roasting them. The purpose is to verify whether the sea monster's photophobia and fire fear are related to the scale components.

As expected, the fish scales will quickly curl into a ball under the scorching temperature and emit a pungent scent of sulfur. If the scorching continues, they will slowly drip like beads and tears.

"Huh?" Qin Song suddenly raised this phenomenon and seemed familiar. This phenomenon would also occur under high temperature roasting of plastic or rubber in his previous life.

Alice resisted the discomfort and asked, "What's wrong? Qin?"

The familiar phenomenon aroused Qin Song's interest. He quickly continued to scrape the fish scales with a dagger: "Alice, I need a small iron pot and prepare a set of heating stoves. The fish scales seem to be interesting."

So, a fish scale experiment began as a result of a fire that shook the sky.

The collected fish scales are put into a palm-sized iron pot and the fire in the stove is lit. Under continuous high temperature roasting, the fish scales begin to deform, and then melt and stick to a whole.

After cooling slightly, Qin Song immediately poked with his fingers with enthusiasm.

elasticity!

It has similar elasticity to rubber.

Take it out and swing it hard, you can clearly feel its strong overall flexibility.

"Alice, bring the grinding machine for grinding."

rubber!

An extremely important industrial product, whether it is light industry, heavy industry, or even daily necessities, plays an important role.

However, the main sources of rubber are divided into natural rubber, namely rubber trees, and synthetic rubber.
