Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 159 Chapter 159
"Boom!" A new round of salvos hit the pirate's warship again. This time, unlike the previous two times, the already embarrassed pirate ship was finally overwhelmed and began to slow down significantly.

In this round of salvo, a shell directly blasted the rudder of the pirate ship below the watchtower, causing the pirate ship to lose the most effective steering method in an instant.

Although it can also use the method of adjusting the sail to achieve steering, the efficiency is obviously much lower.

After another shell crashed into the warship, it crashed through the hull from below the waterline on the other side. This hole caused a water leak, which made the pirate ship worse.

What made the pirates even more desperate was that another shell hit their artillery position, completely destroying the only artillery on their side!

Now they have no room to fight back, and the loss of personnel is heavy. More than 80 pirates crowded on the ship died or were injured, and the rest have been scared out of their wits, and they have no previous arrogance at all.

"Quickly! Fly the white flag! Quickly!" Finally, a pirate who realized it yelled hysterically. He regretted why he was so stupid just now, and why he only thought of such a creative solution now.

The old pirate captain did not object to this subordinate's self-assertion, and he even had the idea of ​​surrendering.He had even thought out the lines for his forgiveness, after all, a seasoned sailor could have a meal anywhere.

Ever since, the pirates climbed up to the mast and hung a dirty white sheet on the top of their mast.

They were sure that the other had seen the big sheet, and although it was patched and dirty, everyone knew what it meant.

"We surrender! We surrender!" The pirates shook their hands, begging for mercy loudly towards the approaching battleship on the other side of the sea.

What responded to them was the fourth round of ferocious artillery salvo.This time, because the distance has been shortened to less than 200 meters, the hit rate has increased visibly with the naked eye.

Five shells hit the pirate ship impartially, directly smashing the remaining side boards, causing the ship to slowly sink.

It wasn't until this time that these pirates realized that the other party really wanted to kill them all, rather than playing a game of officers and soldiers catching thieves with them.

On the opposite side of the sinking pirate ship, Bernard looked coldly at the dilapidated sailboat that had already rolled over, and muttered expressionlessly: "Sorry, sir, you said you don't want pirate prisoners, so you can only die here... Listen to me, don't be thieves in your next life. You have done too many bad things, and you can no longer be good people, so you can only die and atone for everything you have done... "

……

"Wow!" Looking at the port in front of him, the captain of the merchant ship couldn't believe his eyes. He really couldn't believe that there was such a huge crane in this world.

That is really a very, very huge crane. Just looking at its size, it is nearly 20 meters high. It stands in the port and looks as majestic as a lighthouse.

Of course, the new lighthouse in Bunas seems to be more spectacular. It is on the other side of the port, built on top of a towering cliff, and with a cliff of more than 50 meters, it is a full [-] meters high.

It was built with local boulders and cement, it was unimaginably strong, a huge light was installed on it, and it used electricity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Mo manufactured the world's first electric searchlight, and applied this achievement to the new battleship under construction.

Now Tang Mo's battleship is ready for night battles, because there are two large searchlights installed on both sides of the battleship, the model is exactly the same as that used on the lighthouse.

Moreover, during the construction process, through computer simulation and deduction, this battleship still has the problem of being light at the front and heavy at the rear, so the final revised style is no different from the Zhiyuan ship.

One of its front triple-mounted 120mm caliber naval guns was cut and turned into an honest dual-mounted main gun, while the rear dual-mounted 120mm-caliber main gun was changed to a single-mounted one. 120 mm caliber main gun.

This is basically the number of main weapons of the Zhiyuan ship, with two in the front and one in the back, a very classic and familiar layout.

The only difference is that the Zhiyuan ship's main guns are protected by gun mantlets, and the rear is open, while Tang Mo's capital ship uses a closed turret, although the thickness of the rear armor is only 8 mm.

Moreover, this battleship uses the latest generation of steam engines. After modification, the power has been greatly increased. It is definitely a qualified battleship power.

When these sailors from the distant Dorne Kingdom looked up at the huge crane, they were completely overwhelmed by the magnificence of Burnas.

When unloading, they only need to move the iron ingots on their ship into a huge fishing net one by one, and then this huge crane directly lifts these heavy goods, and then gently puts them on the on the pier.

This kind of efficiency has completely crushed the small cranes on other piers, and there are actually not many cranes on the piers of this era.

Most of the time, the sailors can only pass through the springboard and carry the goods one by one. It is okay to say that for small goods, some large goods can only bite the bullet and try again and again.

And like this, it is really very rare to unload all the contents of a cargo ship in less than a few hours.

Although it is not impossible, this kind of efficiency is generally only available in large terminals, which are among the best large ports in the world, and the scale is not comparable to that of a small Bunas.

What shocked these sailors from afar was not limited to this. After they completed the loading and unloading ignorantly, they were ordered to drive the ship away, drive to the shallows outside to anchor, and then the crew used small boats to board the ship. shore.

The purpose of doing this is to move out of the dock as soon as possible so that more merchant ships can dock.After all, because Tang Mo ate a large amount of various ores, merchants from some nearby kingdoms were moved by the news and began to frantically transport supplies to Bunas.

Large and small merchant ships are crowded around the already small Bunas Port, which directly overwhelms the terminal, and the throughput has become a bottleneck restricting the development of the port.

In order to solve this problem, Tang Mo had to spend money to expand the port, and built this huge crane on the port - it was driven by electricity, but most people didn't know it.

This crane relies on a motor to control the counterweight. From a distance, everyone thinks it is an ordinary gravity crane, but only the user knows that it actually uses part of the electricity.

With this crane, the work at the dock can be carried out quickly, which also solves Tang Mo's material demand problem.

Now the throughput of Bunas has doubled, many ships are using Tang Mo's new port, and some ships are using the old Bunas port.

On the side of the newly built port, the goods were secretly sent to the nearby railway station, and then loaded and transported directly to the No. [-] factory.

On the old Bunas port wharf, the sailors from Dorne visited everything here with novelty, as if Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, they felt their own ignorance and insignificance.

They saw the new city hall built of cement, and saw the brand new fountain square that was just completed here.

The sailors also tried the new veggie burger, which nearly swallowed their tongues in a delicious ketchup.

They were excitedly carried by the crowd to the casino, where they saw the most fun game.They ecstasy stood beside the table, yelled numbers in hoarse voices, and then wailed and beat their chests and feet one by one.

They from Dorne had never seen such an interesting thing, and it was the first time they had seen such an exciting game.

Some of them won a full 30 gold coins with only one gold coin, and became a little rich overnight.

There are also people who lost all their money in one night, and were so poor that they couldn't even afford another vegetable burger.

There are also some sailors who came to the street full of feasting and feasting. They were shocked by everything in front of them and couldn't speak.

They saw girls in tulle singing and dancing on the street, and the scented clothes brushed their cheeks, making them almost drool on them.

Then, after a few minutes, these sailors all remembered that there seemed to be a large sum of gold coins that they had just earned with their lives in their pockets.

Then, they desperately returned all the money Tang Mo had just paid them to Mr. Tang Mo.

"Thanks to the great god! Let me find the real paradise!" A sailor squeezed his head out of the two women with difficulty, raised his wine glass with intoxication and shouted cheers.

"For Burnas! Cheers!" His companion was no better than him, and he, who had drunk too much, was trying his best to untie his difficult belt.

Luxurious luxury is the main theme here, and being happy and unrestrained is the keynote here.The sailors who were nervous and restrained at sea finally understood what is the source of happiness.

Although when they wake up tomorrow morning, they will bitterly find out how crazy they were last night—they may not even have a single copper plate left of the gold coins they earned by going to sea.

However, after seeing the other side of this wonderful world, they will soon fall in love with Burnas, this gold sanctuary, and such an unfettered life.

Then they will send more raw materials to Tang Mo, in order to get more gold coins here, and then spend these more gold coins more freely here.
