Great time travel

Chapter 29. The Inevitable War

——Even if I searched every house by the sea with a torch, I couldn't find any foreigner who could be slaughtered and plundered...

After realizing that they had missed nothing, these black robbers who were eager to try were frustrated and confused for a while.

Not knowing what to do next, some of them began to check the grain, dried fish and dried vegetables piled up in the house, planning to bring some food back, and they couldn't just make a trip like this.Others violently waved their swords and hacked down the walls of these houses as if venting their anger, and then they were even more shocked. At first, they thought that those seemingly thin "mushroom houses" were all It was a wooden house, who would have thought that they would slash through it casually, but the short bony knives in their hands were shaken to the point of splitting and curling their blades, as if they had cut a stone.

Because the weapons were damaged, someone cursed and tried to set fire, but even if they burned the torches on these walls, there was no response at all.When these curious black people held torches and moved closer to take a closer look, they couldn't help but gasp: these light and colorful "mushroom huts" are all made of some kind of extremely thin Made of sheet metal!
God!Building a house out of metal? !What kind of concept was this in ancient society before the Industrial Revolution? ! !
——Before the industrial revolution, due to the limitation of technological level, the output of metals in the world was pitifully low, both in the East and in the West.For example, during the Northern Song Dynasty, China's annual steel output was about 21 tons, which was already known as the world's number one, and it was said to be close to the total steel output of the rest of the civilized countries in the world.But in later generations, even building a giant oil tanker would not be enough—by the beginning of the [-]st century, China’s annual steel output exceeded [-] million tons, and it was still the world’s largest... Compared with the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, the output has increased by [-] tons Four thousand times.

Even in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many farmers were still too poor to afford kitchen knives, and even a little iron on a hoe was a great fortune for them.Pig iron bars in many remote places can be used instead of currency and are very popular...

This is still the situation after entering the Iron Age, and today, the iron-smelting technology has not spread from the Hittite Empire on a large scale, and most of the civilized countries in the world are still in the [-]th century BC of the Bronze Age. Far rarer than iron ore, the amount of metals in human hands is even rarer.In the area of ​​the "Four Ancient Civilizations" right now, even the armies of the richest civilized countries find it difficult to distribute a bronze weapon to every soldier, and the poor and backward tribes in the surrounding area can only use it pitifully. Stone spears and bone knives come to fight!
Today, about one-third of the black bandits who attacked Cyrenaica have bronze swords and battle axes in their hands. Their leader also has a Hittite iron sword that they got by chance. It can already be called a luxury equipment.Even if you fight against the regular army of Egypt and Minoa, you don't have to feel guilty-many second-rate soldiers in Egypt can only fight with stone spears.So let them be quite proud.

Who would have thought that when I came here and looked at it, I was really more popular than others!The metal that I don't even have enough for forging weapons is actually being used here to build a house?
In short, in the eyes of these poor black people, this kind of tin mushroom house that can only be placed in a children's park as a landscape in future generations to withstand the sun, rain, paint and rust is simply like a golden palace in the eyes of modern people. Marble villas and Egyptian pyramids are a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more luxurious!What's more, the metal houses appearing on this seashore are not one or two, but dozens or hundreds!

In addition, the few steel hoes and shovels found in these mushroom houses also amazed every black robber-in this era, using steel that is "more expensive than gold" to make farm tools, in the In the eyes of ordinary people, it can no longer be described as luxury, but pure waste and fighting for wealth.You know, even the Egyptian farmers on the banks of the Nile are still plowing the land with wooden plows and reaping with stone sickles!
In short, the above-mentioned discoveries in this inhabited area not only aroused the greed of these black-skinned bandits, but also made them feel a little panic involuntarily-possessing these wealth, but carelessly disposing of it What kind of a group of people would they be if they were thrown away at will?

However, they couldn't find anyone to answer this question now.

——The houses and fields shrouded in night are all empty, and the pier by the sea is also empty (the merchant ships from Crete have already left), and the whistling wind is whistling in the ears, making people feel as if they are in the In the ghost town, there are ghosts wandering all around...

Only above their heads, behind the empty villages and towns, on the steep cliff dotted with Mediterranean juniper trees and bushes, there is a towering highland lighthouse, emitting bright light, which finally dispels the night slightly. Deep and terrifying.

Looking up at the astonishingly bright lighthouse on the mountain, the black leader frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally drew out the dagger at his waist, pointed at the lighthouse on the top of the mountain, and issued an order to his subordinates: "... go up and see Look! There may be someone in there!"

What the black leader didn't know was that it was because of this order that they lost their last chance to escape...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Although the cliff behind the port of Cyrenaica where the lighthouse stands is very steep from a distance, it is easy to climb up in the dark because the person who built it carved a straight path on the mountain. stairs leading from the foot of the mountain to the top.And tonight is the full moon again, the bright moonlight and the light of the lighthouse itself illuminate every step of the steps shining brightly, and there is absolutely no danger of stepping on the air and falling.

But the problem is, this group of black robbers armed with murder weapons only had time to climb halfway up the mountain when they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from behind!Even the earth seemed to be trembling.Immediately, someone was so frightened that his legs gave up, his feet fell into the air, and he rolled down the stairs... The rest of the people looked back in fear, and saw a burning mushroom cloud slowly rising from the desert in the distance. It rises like a blooming flame flower, instantly lighting up the night sky, and clusters of flames splash around, dragging burning trails like fire rain from the sky!

"... Great God, what happened to this? It's really terrible!"

Faced with this hot scene that completely surpassed common sense, many black fighters were so frightened that they fell to their knees and prayed to the gods of their respective beliefs.

In fact, this explosion was completely a masterpiece made by their own people-when the black leader led most of his soldiers towards the "mushroom house" by the sea, those minions who stayed in the oil field They were also in the concrete house of the refinery, rummaging around with torches, trying to collect some loot... As a result, these guys somehow started an oil well fire, and they just turned the oil storage tank full of oil into It became a huge torch, looking from a distance, it looked like a soda or champagne that had been shaken vigorously and then opened, and it was sprayed out all over!
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of liters of oil were thrown tens of meters into the air, forming a spectacular fountain of flames, and then splashed all around like incendiary bombs... Several unlucky blacks were immediately burned in large quantities I was doused in oil, and after I let out a scream, I couldn't make a sound anymore. After struggling a few times, it became a lump of barbecue with a smell of burnt and oil.The remaining uninjured black people were also frightened out of their wits by the terrifying flames, as if seeing the end of the world approaching, they ran away almost reflexively.

At this time, the main force of the black bandit group on the mountain road finally leaked their whereabouts: Obviously, in such an earth-shattering explosion, even the dead would be frightened to jump up—when they stopped on the stone steps halfway up the mountain While the black people on the street were still looking blankly at the pillar of fire rising into the sky in the distance, and praying to the gods to themselves, a fat man in a strange costume suddenly ran out from the lighthouse on the top of the mountain.

It seems that this fat man was probably startled by the distant flames and explosions, so he ran out to see what happened... Then, this guy was stunned to see black soldiers huddled together on the steps, with terrifying paint on their faces, And all kinds of strange weapons in their hands.

Under the sudden encounter, because the thinking did not turn around for a while, the two sides actually stared at each other for a while, and finally the fat man on the top of the mountain uttered a panicked howl, turned and fled back.And the black leader who reacted quickly stood up again, raised his iron sword, and took the lead to run towards the top of the mountain, still shouting loudly, "...Catch up! Capture that coward!"

However, before they continued to run a few steps to the top of the mountain, they heard a sharp, ear-piercing and strange sound, like the roar of a devil, as if it came from all directions, making everyone feel pain in their eardrums (actually, it was a loud noise) The air raid siren for future generations)...Under the influence of so many unimaginable and strange things tonight, most of the black robbers involuntarily slowed down. Bare-chested and waving the bronze battle axe, he rushed forward alone with a groan, keeping a long distance from the others.

——Five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps... Seeing this yelling and reckless guy, he seemed to be about to rush to the end of the stairs, let the battle ax in his hand drink up the blood, and the black soldiers behind were clamoring cheers...

However, the warrior's final sprint came to an abrupt end at the end of this long ladder.

Accompanied by a bright knife light and a headless corpse that fell down, a heroic purple-haired lady appeared on the top of the mountain:
"...The descendant of the Bujima style, Saeko Busujima joins in! Wait for these cowardly bastards, why don't you hurry up and die?!"

Immediately afterwards, the fat man who turned around and ran away just now also appeared on the top of the mountain with an automatic rifle equipped with many odds and ends, and pulled the trigger with a grinning smile at the black robbers gathered in the narrow mountain path The muzzle spewed out streams of flames, pouring down a deadly bullet rain:

"...Hehehe! Little thieves, try your master Hirano Toda's power! This new gun that I just refitted is finally ready for use!"

……

At the same time, Doraemon, Wang Qiu and others, who were drinking happily in the Temple of Amon in Thebes, Egypt, received a panicked call for help from Cyrenaica through the radio intercom. Communication, I broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and even woke up seven or eight points from the wine:

"...It's terrible! Our settlement has been attacked by an unknown enemy! We are currently fighting! Please think of a way!"
