The warships they serve are the deepest pride in the hearts of sailors. Their sacredness is no less than the plot of the ancestor worship of the Chinese. Even in the end of the Cold War, the Bald Eagle Navy, which was the most powerful in the old world, aircraft carriers were rampant in the sea for decades, the Eagle Army briefly restored several battleships sealed after World War II and entered active service. During this period, countless naval crew members reported to apply for transfer to battleships, including many elite backbone who had served on aircraft carriers for many years. The sailors were happy to serve on a mighty battleship, which is an honorable resume that other warships could not match. The prominent position of battleships in the navy is irreplaceable, and even the overlord aircraft carriers of the new era could not be done.

For the same reason, the elegant and powerful second-hand Yaling warship of the Yangwei is also a capital that makes Zora and other sailors proud. Whoever dares to insult this warship is equivalent to challenging their self-esteem and professional honor.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao shrugged without hesitation and said to the sailor:

"Very good, since you think so, then there's no problem."

At the moment when Luo Zhengdao carefully set up a condom for the sailor, the white sail shadow following the Yangwei was gradually getting closer in sight. Without relying on a telescope, you can see that the leading ships were sailing warships commonly used by smuggling merchants in the sea of ​​stars.

Outside the liquid ocean in the nearshore area, this void sea, called "Ether Sea" by people in the New World, is actually a brief statement used to facilitate description at the language level. The Ether Sea is a nearly endless void field. The ether particles that are completely in a static state cannot be observed with the naked eye of the intelligent species. Only when external disturbances occur, the ether particles are excited to produce the strange dark golden glow and halo ripples and other energy interference phenomena, which will present the most incredible natural wonders of the new world to the bystanders.

The sailors of the New World are swimming on the Ether Sea. The bright light they can see is not real celestial bodies. Some of the light spots are far away island enclaves, some are projected images formed by other planes in the main material world, and there are even some mysterious and unknown places, which are terrifying places that will allow explorers who are deeply involved in it to go without returning.

When a ship sails in the seemingly empty sea, it is necessary to use sea driftwood that naturally repulsively repulsive forces on the etheric particles as the main ship to ensure that the ship obtains sufficient buoyancy reserves. Otherwise, once a ship goes out to sea encounters a special sea area with low etheric particle density, the entire ship may fall rapidly to the dark bottom of the etheric sea like a stone sinking to the bottom of the water and is unable to extricate itself. At that time, the sailors trapped on the ship can only wait for the end of being thirsty and starving to death, or they take advantage of their strength and courage to pry off a piece of sea driftwood from the ship and lie on it to escape the quiet death trap. Such unfortunate encounters can be said to be one of the hidden roots of fear in the hearts of sailors in the New World.

The mysterious Ether Sea is full of dangers, and choosing a sailing method that exceeds sea level is even more deadly. As the altitude increases accordingly, Mana particles active over the Ether Sea and the law of change are difficult to understand may turn into a Mana storm at any time. At that time, breaking the masts of the ship or even blowing the hull directly is not news. In short, sailors in the New World can only maintain the ship at the reference altitude of sea level. This is the seaworthy area with the highest safety factor. Extreme behaviors that do not take ordinary roads usually turn into unnecessary adventures that require heavy costs.

On the sailboats that are very common in the sea of ​​stars, there are a large number of oars made of sea driftwood. Although it requires a lot of manpower to take full-time paddles, reducing the load and number of artillery, the firmness of the ship is also very costly. However, there is always a benefit for all kinds of harms. Sailboats have obtained more reliable maneuver power and safety than ordinary sailboats.

Even if they fall into a thin particle sea called "Etheric trap", sailboats can rely on the numerous oars to provide additional power and lift to break free from desperate situations. As a result, this low-economic ship type has gained special favor from smuggling merchants. They specialize in sailing in dangerous sea areas where ordinary sailboats avoid being afraid of, and avoid arrests by navies from various countries' navies to collect high taxes, especially in illegal activities such as smuggling trade between the outer sea and the main continent, and have to take on sailboats.

Luo Zhengdao's aggressive method really made the sailor's army. Zora Hegel's face, which was originally dark enough, could be comparable to the bottom of the pot at this time. He walked off the podium angrily, and followed the movements and suddenly stopped, as if he had realized that he had been trapped. The sailor's mood became more and more angry.

Zora Hegel, who was angry in his heart, walked forward, scolding the sailors for their poor preparations. He shouted loudly:

"Prepare for the battle! Little bastards, don't think about being lazy. What are your hands shaking? Tie the sail rope, and if something goes wrong, I'll send you down to drag the keel."

The three-masted warship Yangwei is a second-hand Yaling battleship that has just been renovated. No matter how it is, it is still a real military ship. The structural design and configuration from the inside to the outside are all for combat tasks, and are not comparable to those amateur warships that make temporary guest appearances. At this moment, as the Yangwei completed a small radius turn gracefully in front of the pursuers' eyes like a swan playing in the water, crossing its huge solid hull like a city wall to welcome the enemy, bronze-cast cannons were pushed out of the ship's side gun door, and a solemn aura quietly spread.

"Hey, isn't the goblin coming? Who could it be?"

As soon as he put down the telescope, Luo Zhengdao frowned and muttered. In his opinion, it was natural for the goblin fleet to chase him. If it were not my race, the intention would be different! But the fleet behind was complex in type, obviously a hodgepodge, and the number of ships was far less than that of the goblins to chase and suppress the fleet. This situation was a bit strange. Could it be that they were Will Nidham's old enemies?

"The little boy from the Earl Fulu family is very good! Go around them, don't let this boy run away."

The target person was identified through the telescope. The mysterious man hiding under the black cloak hood all over his body smiled twice and ordered the formation of the fleet to change from a column that adapted to the high-speed pursuit state to a geese formation surrounded by two wings.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao quickly made corresponding adjustments, turned around and shouted at the messenger:

"Rise the flag and tell Chaoyong to stay away."

There are extraordinary powers such as magic in the new world, which does not mean that there are as many lichs as dogs and demigods everywhere, or that the situation in front that almost destroys the worldview of ordinary people will not appear in a normal world.

For most mortals living in the new world, magic is like a sense of alienation between nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants. Although everyone clearly knows that those weapons with terrible destructive power really exist in a corner of the world and will have a significant impact on their lives, it is really a damn thing to say that once you open the door every day, you can see an intercontinental missile passing by your doorstep! Because of this, the new world lacks cheap and convenient civil communication methods such as old world radio. Excluding those magical objects that are so expensive that they are dead, communication between ships mainly relies on ancient flags and light signals to achieve instant communication. These two are the most convenient and practical methods of communication. Perhaps too much hope for the magic world is also a sin! Of course, this immature information exchange channel is limited to conveying relatively simple content, and there is no need to look forward to something like Wubi flags and other things.

As a long list of signal flags hung on the mast of the Yamwei, the loyal one-eyed captain Fore Chopin, on the brig, felt that he should not let him leave the battlefield, but he had to follow the instructions of the Count, turn the rudder and deviate from the central area of ​​the battlefield, and separate a safe distance from the Yamwei, which is set aside to prepare for battle.

"The enemy ship is six hundred yards away!"

There is no suitable candidate for the position of gunner on the flagship Yangwei. Ballistics is not a high-tech that can be played with by illiterate people. In the end, half-elf beauty Vina Dubov can only be responsible for part-time jobs. At least her math level is worthy of everyone's trust, at least it is much more reliable than Luo Zhengdao, who immediately returned all his math knowledge to his high school teacher after passing the college entrance examination.

The original ship guns approved and certified by the Royal Ordnance Bureau of Yaling were removed as early as when the Yangwei warship was retired. The artillery on the ship is now a dark workshop product of unknown origin. It is said to be a bargain for export by the Kingdom of Yogyakarta. The actual source is indeterminate. The bald Ambon Shipyard boss promised with confidence that the quality of these artillery can be first-class, and that the loading of double stone pine powder in an emergency can ensure that the chamber will not explode. In the old world, I have seen the ugly faces of unscrupulous businessmen who cheated their fathers and did not make drafts. Luo Zhengdao really does not support the quality of these three-no products.

Hearing the data reported by Vina Dubov, Luo Zhengdao hesitated and said:

"Don't fire, wait a little longer."

The closer the distance, the easier it is to hit. This rule is suitable for both tube-type firearms in both the old and the worlds. Compared with the maximum range of artillery with a theoretical maximum range of more than 1,500 yards, the distance of 600 yards is actually very close. Since Luo Zhengdao thinks that it is inappropriate to fire the gun now, Vina Dubov cannot fight him. Turning to look at Luo Zhengdao's young face full of bitterness and revenge, she couldn't help laughing, and then continued to fiddle with the instrument observation data to calculate the ballistic data after the position changes between the two sides.

Two minutes later, Vina Dubov reported ballistic data again and said in a sweet voice:

"The enemy ship is four hundred yards away! twelve rulers."

Hearing the sound, Luo Zhengdao still nodded without saying a word. The 400 yards of the new world are about 300 meters in the old world. Both sides were close enough. However, the gunners of the Yangwei roar never waited for the captain to issue an attack order, but the enemy fired the guns first.

"Bang!Bang!Bang..."

"Be careful to avoid shelling and prepare sand barrels to extinguish fire."

Stone bombs swept over the Ether Sea, rubbing with the enriched ether particles, creating dazzling golden ballistic trajectories. These quasi-headed and messy artillery fires were shot from the four sailboats on the opposite side. Then, the sailor Zorra Hegel, who temporarily replaced the first mate, shouted serpentine maneuver to avoid attacks. There was no doubt that this was a standard defensive posture. Unfortunately, the opponent's artillery skills were too poor, which wasted Luo Zhengdao's tragic mood of preparing the bayonet on the cannon. Only one near-lost bullet was passed by a low altitude about 30 meters from the bow of the Yangwei ship. The rest of the stone bombs flying with Brown's movement trajectory have all fallen.

After such a chaotic round of shelling, Yang Weihao, who was the target of shooting, did not even hurt a hair. I don’t know if it should be said that Luo Zhengdao is lucky or his opponent’s combat power is too lame.

"The distance is three hundred yards! Ruler four, the left wind speed correction is one."

The opportunity must not be lost, no more will come. After Vina Dubov reported the ballistic data, the gunners of the Yangwei re-adjustled the gun parameters and aimed. He had just been shot with a gunfire. Although Luo Zhengdao was a little amateur, he knew that he could not bear it so much. The behavior of the turtle shrank and damaged his morale. He drew his sword and pointed it at the approaching enemy ship, shouting loudly:
Chapter completed!
