Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 166: An unexpected gain
???? Fortunately, even if the "Conch" is only a six-tier ship, it still bears the name of a warship after all. As a standard configuration, there are still copper skins covering the bottom of the ship below the waterline.
???? The main purpose of this design is to avoid scratching the bottom of the ship and preventing maggots from eating wood, thereby extending the service life of the warship and reducing the maintenance cost after each voyage.
???? Of course, the copper covering the bottom of the ship is also a huge expenditure of the Royal Navy, which is impossible for most ordinary merchant ships and fishing boats. They can use the "black material" made of pine gum and tar as a coating, which is considered good.
???? In this situation, the copper skin and the warship can reach a huge size of 38 meters, temporarily resisting the impact of the big fish is still no problem.
???? But.
???? But they can't keep attacking like this unscrupulously!
???? "Gary, get my alchemy rifle!"
???? From the very first time the ship went out to sea, he was attacked by the small sea monster "impact conch". Ivan has been thinking about how a surface ship can defeat any angle from underwater. The sea monsters and various sea creatures that launched the attack?
???? The extravagant hope that they can accommodate human beings to take the initiative to fight on the water, then, like many film and television works in the past life, they really look down on the IQ of the audience.
???? If it wasn't for the attack method of "impact conch" itself was to slide and accelerate the collision on the sea with less resistance, but to hide underwater for sneak attacks, it would not be easy to solve it.
???? However, in this era when the level of technology is still very backward, the conventional technology of the mundane world is simply not enough to solve this problem.
???? So I tried to use my brain.
???? While studying in the "Shadow Library" at the Naval Academy all day, Ivan combined his previous knowledge and worked with Anthony, who is good at alchemy equipment and enchanting techniques, to make a gadget. Can be used at this time.
???? Alvin had high expectations for this "gadget". If this time proves its value in actual combat, it may become another standard feature in the hands of battleship captains in addition to the "sea monster pointer"!
???? The potential value is huge.
???? Even, at this time, Ivan’s pocket contained a "Sea Monster Pointer" that was normally only issued by captains of Tier 4 battleships and above, which was also purchased from Anthony.
???? This kind of thing may be very hot as a munitions distribution, but as one of the base camps of the alchemy school, Anthony, who is rich and powerful, wants to get one from within the "Violet Eye". of.
???? For his own way of naval captain, Ivan also took great pains.
???? "Puff!"
???? Keeping the crew on guard, Ivan stood alone on the bow and threw a small brass ball tied with a tough wire into the water.
????......
The function of this alchemy item named "Song of the Sea Monster" by Ivan is very simple. It emits a very strong infrasound after entering the water, which can drive underwater creatures like the song of a sea monster, but it makes them a little bit ...Uncomfortable.
???? Infrasound generally refers to a sound wave with a vibration frequency between -20 Hz, and the internal organs in the organism also have their own fixed frequency, which is also within this range. When these two frequencies are at the same time, a resonance reaction will occur, dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, and serious direct death are possible.
???? The development of "Song of the Siren" is based on this principle.
???? It's just that the set infrasound frequency eliminates the human band to the utmost extent, and is close to the unique frequency of marine life, especially giant marine life.
???? hum——
???? Sound waves that cannot be captured by human ears are emitted from the copper ball indiscriminately. The sound wave travels extremely fast in the water, and the "gun-stabbed cracktooth fish" who are still banging against the ship under water quickly reacted.
???? Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
???? Can't hold on for dozens of seconds.
???? A series of ferocious-looking fish leaped away from the "Conch" and jumped out of the water, trying to avoid the sonic attack that made them very uncomfortable. Among them, the three smaller fish monsters with more serious symptoms, even their bodies are already a little skewed.
???? "Good opportunity!"
???? Already prepared, Ivango, standing on the bow standing upright with a gun, disconnected the gun, and hit mode!
???? Bang——
???? A brilliant line of fire crossed the sea, and the moment a fish monster jumped out of the water, it penetrated its head with unparalleled precision. Ejected from one eye into the other eye, leaving the other parts unscathed.
???? The death of the companion/offspring made the remaining four fish monsters go crazy instantly, and their already brutal and bloodthirsty nature was directly detonated.
???? Although it is temporarily unclear which culprit is based on the poor brain capacity of the fish monsters, it does not prevent them from using the most conspicuous "Conch" in their vision as a target to vent their anger.
???? Regardless of the unbearable invisible attack underwater, the fish monsters rushed to the battleship again.
???? However, the closer they were to the "Conch", the stronger the sonic attack from "Song of the Sea Monster" was. In a state where he couldn't even maintain his sense of balance, he all became a living target under Ivan's gun.
???? Bang! boom! boom!
???? After less than half a minute, three more spearfishes fell under Ivan's muzzle.
???? Only the largest and best-maintained leader fish monster is still charging alone.
???? By this time, no matter how stupid he was, he discovered the reason why his companions fell dead one after another. After all, it is a real demonized creature. Relying on the powerful real monster body, the "leader fish monster" dives into the water to the limit of its own capacity and then jumps to the surface, flexibly moving to avoid Ivan's... ..
Aim.
???? But like a cold steel shaft in his brain, the option to turn his head and escape has never appeared in his mind.
???? Soon, after the companion sacrifices one after another to attract Ivan's firepower.
???? The distance between it and the "Conch" has been re-closed to less than 50 meters. The fish monster can almost look at Aiwen, but a pair of eyes that are a bit muddled by the continuous attack of infrasound are fierce. The prestige is unabated.
???? Silent neighing from the throat without vocal organs.
???? The spear-like spikes behind the two gills suddenly dislocated and turned forward, and the turbulent sea water surged from the parotid glands and turned into turbulent eddies at the roots of the spikes.
???? Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...
???? There are five on one side and ten spikes behind the gills on both sides. Under the combined action of muscle strength and water flow, they shoot out like a siege bed crossbow and shoot straight out. Aiwen standing on the bow.
???? "Get down!"
???? Throwing the "Thorn Golden Rose" into Gary's arms behind him, Ivan had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, and took the initiative to meet the "rain of arrows" that came from him.
???? Clang——
???? A sharp flash of lightning struck a "z" in the air, and after two deafening metal clashes, two frontal "bow arrows" were shot from the side by Ivan with superb swordsmanship. Pick and fly out.
???? However, driven by the huge power, this majestic kinetic energy is not so easy to offset, although Zhanfei was stabbed with a spear, Ivan was also shot out from the bow and landed on the deck. It took several steps to stop the castration.
???? Fortunately, "Song of the Sea-Monster" is not without influence on this most powerful fish, at least the accuracy of this wave of "Arrow Rain" is extremely poor.
???? Except for the two heads that struck from the front, the others either flew high to the sky, or were blocked by the bow of the ship, and did not cause any damage to any surface personnel at all.
???? Well, except for one that flew too high and penetrated the sail.
???? But it's just a small problem, it's easy to fix.
???? Bang——
???? Ivan jumped back to the bow.
???? Sure enough, letter is worse than no book. The introduction to "Splittooth Fish" in "Genealogy of Enchanted Creatures" does not have this kind of spell that can launch "Bow Arrow" at all. ability.
???? Without precaution, letting it get too close will almost lose.
???? I thought that having an alchemy musket in hand, no matter the size of the fish monster, was just a shot, even if it was left for the end, it would be nothing.
???? "Captain, here you are!"
???? Re-taken "Thorn Golden Rose" from Gary, Ivan prepared to kill it in one breath.
???? "Huh?"
???? Without waiting for Ivan to shoot, in the scope, the leader of the "gun-stabbed cracktooth" had already floated up on his own belly.
......
???? After issuing this spell-like ability, the vitality is already severely injured, and even the powerful demonized creatures can't resist it at this time.
???? "Disarm readiness!"
???? Don't wait for Ivan's instructions. After the battle, the sailors have put down their boats and grabbed the bodies of the five enchanted fish monsters.
???? Seeing the ferocious fish monsters that were almost a dozen meters long and almost covered the entire deck of the "Conch", the crew looked at their new captain in awe.
???? In this era, the sea is not the same as the Army Knights. It is a place where seniority is emphasized. All kinds of dangers and high mortality make people who really have the ability to be convinced by others.
???? Obviously, the new captain of the "Conch", Ivan Shao, is such a person!
???? Maybe.
???? Even without Aiwen today, the "Conch" could eventually escape by relying on the solid hull and artillery deterrence of the warship, but the loss of personnel is absolutely unavoidable.
???? Of course, that situation can’t be compared with the current results of annihilating the five demonized fish monsters!
???? "Your Captain! What should we do with these fish monsters?" Borg, the ship's first officer in charge of logistics, walked carefully to Ivan and bowed and asked.
???? "Well, pick a small one for everyone to eat today. The rest will be cleaned up and marinated before returning to Hong Kong for processing."
???? Ivan thought of the celebration banquet held after the first capture of the sea monster on the "Silver Wing". Although the level of the enchanted fish monster is slightly lower, it is for ordinary sailors. It is rare enough.
???? Although the overall thinking of the upper ruling class is to limit the spread of transcendence, after all, they have been serving in the treacherous sea for a long time, and the soldiers still have some insights.
???? Realizing the value of demonized fish monsters, they cheered upon hearing this!
???? "Long live the captain!"
???? The deck immediately became hot~IndoMTL.com~ The sailors who were not on duty for the time being started to help clean up these fish monsters.
???? "Wait!"
???? Two sailors were holding the head of the head of the "gungill slittooth" and were about to rip it up along the jaw, when Ivan suddenly stopped their movements with excitement.
???? In spite of the blood stains on the ground, he took the first two steps, personally opened the big mouth of the fish monster with teeth and fangs, reached in to grab something, and broke it forcefully.
???? Click——
???? "Good luck, it really condenses!"
???? Facing the sun, a slightly glowing blue tooth in the blood-stained palm glowed in the sun. To Aven or even any knight, it is more fascinating than the finest jewels.
???? That's an extraordinary characteristic belonging to the "Gunstab Shardtooth"!
???? In terms of quality alone, this extraordinary trait is only in the "Blue Flag Magic Shark" that Ivan once used...
Below. Today I really hit a big luck! After an encounter, there was such an unexpected gain.
???? Well, maybe the lucky guy is...
???? Turning his head and looking behind him, he followed suit, positioning himself as Gary, the role of bodyguard.
