Chapter 406
The watchman's telescope is not a particularly excellent telescope. The telescope was made by the captain Quick himself. The output is very rare and has not yet been mass-produced. It is one of the captain's most cherished treasures.

The lookout Mom also felt the same way. Such a baby is really easy to use on the sea, and objects far away can be seen more clearly.

Pay attention to the wording, it is not particularly clear, but "relatively clear". If you want to see something farther away, it can only be described as blurry.

This time, what he wanted to see was no longer blurred, but something between "relatively clear" and "fuzzy".

Momme saw the vague shape of a ship, like the hull of a ship below, with a broad deck, though thinner than a wooden galen.

"Is it a boat, hell, why doesn't it have sails?" Mom wondered a little whether it was an island or something else.

"Could it be a sea monster?" Another more reasonable answer flashed in Mom's mind.

The watchman put down the binoculars and shouted to the sailors below, "Report, we found a strange creature approaching us. The bearing is 30 degrees to the port side. The visual inspection is..." He paused, thinking about the distance between the two, and then used Looking through the binoculars again, I saw the opponent's shape was a little clearer, and it seemed that the distance was a little closer.

Why is it getting closer? Could it be that its speed is very fast? Mom's mind is still clear. Years of sailing experience made him most wary of the existence of sea monsters.

It's not that there are no sea monsters in the Storm Strait of Hu Country, but the chances of sea monsters appearing are relatively low, because there are a large number of islands nearby, and the seabed is not particularly deep. Life here is not suitable for the huge size of sea monsters.

"The distance is predicted to be 3000 meters. The speed is a little fast. It is very likely to be a sea monster. Be careful!" the watchman trembled.

"Okay." The orc under the mast waved his hand to express his understanding.

When the orcs learned that the sea monster was coming, they all rubbed their hands excitedly, carried the shells and gunpowder to the deck, and the gunners took a mop to plunge into the gun barrel and wiped the gunpowder residue in the gun bore vigorously.

The front-mounted artillery is troublesome in this regard. Before each firing, the barrel must be cleaned. The orcs don't quite understand the principle. In short, it is enough to memorize the shooting process specifications by rote.

After cleaning the barrel, the gunner ran to the captain's room and asked the captain if he was going to fill the gunpowder and shells.

At this moment, Quick was hypnotizing a tiger orc with his hands tied, and asked him about the information in his mind. When he heard the gunner's question, he was taken aback.

Someone came in to announce the appearance of a suspected sea monster just now. He was still interrogating others and didn't care much about the sea monster. Besides, he didn't really believe that there would be sea monsters in Storm Strait, so he waved his hand to let the orcs go further. observe.

Hearing that the gunner was about to load the gunpowder, he realized something was wrong, "Is there really a sea monster?"

The gunner shook his excited tiger tail, curled it again and again, "Return to my lord, the watchman said that it is a bit different, and the other party is more like an unknown ship."

"Oh, is there still a fish that slipped through the net of the Orc Pirates?" Quick looked at the Khajiit sitting on the floor.

The tiger man's body is very strong, with protruding muscles visible to the naked eye. It is like pinching steel with his hands, and his eyes are also bloodshot.

When he saw Quick, his eyes were red, his muscles were faintly swollen by a quarter, and his mouth was hoarse like a beast, with a sense of strength.

But such hoarseness was useless, the orc not only tied his hands to death, but also pierced the tiger man's specific acupuncture points with dozens of long iron needles, making all his struggling efforts in vain.

"Do you still have reinforcements?" Quick said playfully.

"Bah!" Tiger Rendun spit, "I don't have any reinforcements, you humans have already won."

"Really, then I will take you out to see if it is the reinforcements you have prepared." Quick looked at the tiger man with contempt. The tiger man's eyes were temporarily confused, and he was hypnotized again just now.

One minute later, when the old pirate Langduel came back to his senses, he had come to the front of the ship's deck, kneeling on the deck, and the sea wind shaved his beard like a knife.

He just looked into the distance, his original angry expression also changed, and his face was full of doubts.

In the far distance, the black shadow of the ship is getting closer and closer, with no sails, a pointed bow, a graceful thin hull, and a ladder-shaped bridge.

"It's really a ship!" Langton was even more confused. In his impression, there was no reinforcements. Besides, there was only one ship in the distance, and there were no more than a dozen escort ships. How could he save people if he was weak?

At this time, Captain Quick's watchman also saw a relatively clear mirror image, which was a blade-shaped hull painted with black paint, like a sharp knife breaking through the water waves, rushing along the high-speed route.

In a telescope, its sharpness changes every second.

"What kind of strange ship is this? I've never seen such a ship. It's like a ship made of steel." Lookout Mom was surprised.

At this time, the human captain Quick also climbed onto the mast, took out his own looking glass, and looked at the distant ship.

The black steel hull, the trapezoidal steel plate bridge, and the tall circular column behind the bridge, the black smoke column is coming out of the chimney tube, the smoke column flies into the sky and is blown to the back by the sea wind, turning into skewed smoke .

Seeing this steel ship without sails, Quick's heart skipped a beat, and his heart was overwhelmed, as if a bright lightning flashed across his brain.

Click!The lightning in his heart was so bright, the voice was so violent, Quick's breathing became heavy, and the smile that was originally on the corner of his mouth slowly retracted.

Lookout Mom looked at the lonely iron ship in the distance, put down the binoculars, and found that the head of the group, Mr. Quick, was also beside him. He straightened his back with his legs together, and asked with curious eyes:

"Master Quick, that ship seems to be made of iron. Can a ship made of big iron sail on the sea? Why doesn't it sink into the water?"

After Mom finished asking, he found that Mrs. Quick was sweating a lot on his forehead, his lips were trembling slightly, and his hands holding the binoculars also showed signs of trembling.

The knowledge of the sailors on the ships in Tiger Country is really not very good. Although Captain Quick has promoted the knowledge crazily these months, the pirates are used to living a free and undisciplined life, and their learning efficiency is still a bit low. Only now have they learned the basics Elementary school mathematics, and sea-related knowledge such as navigation and marine knowledge.

More advanced chemistry, physics and other knowledge have not yet started to learn. Quake originally planned to pass on chemical physics and other knowledge to land colleges, or snatch the achievements of other players and take the formed college as his own.

Now the disadvantage of the lookout's ignorance of physics knowledge comes. He doesn't understand how the big iron block floats on the sea, let alone its terrifying speed. From the "fuzzy" image in the lookout mirror to "clearer" for a while!
"That's a steel ship, damn it!" Quick stared at the ship in the binoculars. After seeing the tripod-shaped six-barrel rotating heavy machine gun on the ship, his eyes almost burst open and his whole body trembled.
