Chapter 502: Entering the Deep Sea Again (7/10)

Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update of my manor!

"Plop!" With a splash of water, Jiang Hai entered the water again.

As the bubbles around him gradually disappeared, Jiang Hai also turned on the headlight in front of him, and then swam rapidly toward the deep sea without moving. Jiang Hai was already familiar with this task. After all, he had already gone into the sea twice last time. .

He was very familiar with the activities in the sea, and he was not prepared to retrieve the treasures from the water in just one day.

He went down today to check. If there weren't many things in the ship, there was no need for him to take it.

He was wearing the thickest protective swimming suit with a wire net on the outside. He carried two fishing guns on his back and an underwater pistol. This was also brought here specially. In addition, it was just a metal There's a bag for samples.

After upgrading to a dragon, Jiang Hai really found that he had undergone a lot of changes. In addition to what he said at the beginning, his physical fitness had become four times the human limit, his sensitivity had also greatly increased, and his spiritual energy was released. His new abilities.

But what concerned Jiang Hai the most was his natural ability, his underwater ability.

He had already tried it in his manor. After entering the water, he still did not need to breathe and ignored the water pressure. The most important thing was that his body, which originally did not move quickly underwater, now felt like it was moving underwater. Like a dragon.

Although it is still not as good as sailfish or tuna, it should not be slower than an ordinary boat.

Take tuna, for example. The fastest speed of this fish can reach 160 kilometers per hour. Of course, the speed will not be maintained for long, that is, it will only burst out. After all, fish are cold-blooded animals, and blood vessels will burst if the blood is too hot.

But even so. The patrol speed of this kind of fish is also about 60-80 kilometers. Calculated as one nautical mile is approximately equal to 1.8 kilometers, that means it can swim about 33 nautical miles per hour.

Such speed. It's no slower than Jiang Hai's yacht at full speed, killing almost 90% of all boats in an instant.

Even a warship. It is rare to see something so fast. If it were during World War II, this speed would have almost killed the earth instantly.

Jiang Hai's current speed is far from that fast, and the speed of cruising cannot be compared. He is now swimming with all his strength, which is about ten nautical miles per hour, but this is already very fast. One nautical mile is 1,800 meters. Jiang Hai swims upstream regardless of the water pressure. . You can swim 18,000 meters in one hour, and the Mariana Trench is not that deep. That means you can only make it in 10,000 years. This is not slow for Jiang Haiwei.

Sneaking into the water, with his current perception ability, his physical fitness, swimming speed, and most importantly, his weapons, unless he encounters some creature unknown to humans. Ordinary sharks and the like are really no match for him, even if there are some that he can't deal with. Don't forget that his spiritual energy can be released, and he can force the other person to become his younger brother.

Therefore, Jiang Hai's speed after entering the water was extremely fast. In less than half an hour, he had arrived at his target this time.

Under the illumination of his headlamp, a dilapidated Spanish galleon like a ghost ship appeared in front of him.

In fact, the history of Europe from before 1500 can be regarded as the period of village chiefs competing for hegemony.

Because Europe as a whole is not that big, there are only a few people in total. What's yours today, I'll beat him tomorrow.

There are also some intricacies to the relationship. Some are like the pre-Qin period in China's oldest period, when princes were competing for hegemony. There are so many marriages between each other. Today we fight this family, and tomorrow we fight that family. It is very confusing.

However, after 1500, Columbus turned everyone's attention to the distant American continent. From then on, the original struggle between village chiefs became the strongest existence, whoever owned the most colonies in the world.

The strongest people in the first generation were the Spaniards, not because the Spaniards were so powerful, but because they had mastered a sailing technology called the Spanish galleon. This ship was the second strongest in the world at the time. The only ship stronger than this ship is the Chinese Zheng He treasure ship, but the Chinese are not interested in the expedition to Europe.

During the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Di who had some interest in overseas affairs, the subsequent emperors were not interested in Europe or the world. Instead, they were more interested in cultivating immortals, refining alchemy, and being carpenters. Of course, this may also be because they were forced. have no choice.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, although the emperor was the unified monarch of everyone, he did not have too many rights.

In some systems, like the current British constitutional monarchy, all power is controlled by the cabinet.

For example, the famous Zhang Juzheng and others were actually just like Prime Minister Cameron of that era. In fact, they had the final say in the Ming Dynasty. They could ignore or reject the emperor's words. Because of this, so Only the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had more eccentrics, and the main theme of that era was Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

What they pay attention to is stereotyped ethics and the like, and these officials have no sense of crisis.

Therefore, they have no idea about expanding overseas, which also makes China miss the opportunity for its second rise.

Of course, saying this now is all hindsight. Who knows what will happen if China really fights?

But it is undeniable that the reason why the Spanish dominated Europe for two hundred years was because of their ships, the Spanish galleons.

It can be said that before the advent of the steam engine, this ship was a giant on the sea. It had a strong load capacity, strong wind power, strong defense and fast running speed. It is not fair to say that it is today's aircraft carrier. Almost all pirates in the past used it as a carrier. Proud to have a Spanish galleon.

At this time, what was in front of Jiang Hai was a Spanish galleon.

The owner of this ship was not the Spanish government at the time, but a pirate.

Bartholomew Roberts, when you think of this name now, maybe 11 out of 10 people don't know who this person is.

However, in the Caribbean three hundred years ago, no, it can be said that in the entire Europe, he was known to everyone.

Because after all, he is also a legend. Roberts was born in 1682 and died in 1722, only living for forty years.

But these forty years can make him famous. He first served as a sailor on an armed **** ship.

The business they were doing was not a good job. The main owners were slave transport teams, which brought black slaves from Africa to mine gold or grow cocoa.

But later he was robbed by pirates. After being robbed, the pirates wanted to kill him, which made him very scared, so he told the pirates not to kill him, he wanted to join the gang, and the pirates also needed to have personnel to supplement them, so I agreed.

This guy himself is also very smart, and he has gradually become a bit like a pirate.

Until the pirate he joined named Davis was killed by the natives in Africa.

He just fought out, the taller one among the short ones, and finally he became the captain. His first battle as the captain was when they quietly came to the coast of Brazil and attacked a fleet of forty-two ships at night. of the Portuguese fleet.

The victim never imagined that he would be robbed in such a huge fleet. When he came to his senses, he had already escaped with 40,000 Brazilian gold coins, which he gave to his men. A reassurance.

Later, his pirate team grew larger and larger, with a total of more than 400 ships in its heyday, but it was precisely because he was too powerful.

And there was no government support behind him, which aroused public outrage in the Caribbean. Finally, in the early morning of 1722, he was attacked by his home country, Britain, and was hit by shrapnel. He died on the spot, ending his life of crime.

The reason why he is remembered is mainly related to his style. This guy is particularly stinky and sour.

He usually likes to wear a black dress with jewelry all over his body. He never drinks alcohol and likes to drink tea. The most important thing is that he believes in Christianity. Not only does he believe in it, he also makes his subordinates believe in it and even organizes church meetings. band.

Although he had always wanted people from the church to become pirates, people from the church didn't know how to do it, and he never succeeded until his death.

And speaking of it, according to current parlance, 13 is full of flavor, very filling, and very sour.

It is precisely because of his style that people also gave him the nickname "Black Baron".

The ship Jiang Hai is targeting today is his ship, but it is not his flagship. It may be a big ship or something, just like the one that was accidentally sunk when he came to South America to fight the autumn wind.

According to the map Jiang Hai bought, there are a lot of treasures hidden on this ship, but it is unclear whether they are still there now.

Looking at the giant ship in front of him, well, according to what was said at the time, it was indeed a giant ship. Jiang Hai slowly approached it, gently grabbed the edge of the ship, and then slowly turned over and jumped on. I have to admit, the ship is well protected here.

Unlike the last ship Jiang Hai visited, which was in a bad state of decay, this ship basically still maintains its original appearance. It is not stuck in the trench, but fell directly to the bottom of the sea. Here The ocean floor is only so deep.

After Jiang Hai turned over onto the boat, he stomped his feet. The deck of the boat did shake, but it did not break.

It seems that the wood of this ship was indeed very rare at the time. It has been more than three hundred years and it has not rotted to the root. It is really not easy.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the ship, Jiang Hai also took out his weapon, holding the spear gun in both hands, and slowly walked towards the lower level of the ship.

Although there are many buildings on the upper floors, it is obvious that there is no treasure that Jiang Hai wants here.

A tattered, long-rotted wooden sail frame without canvas, and a small house that was half broken.

There was nothing to see, so he walked slowly to the stairs. Jiang Hai threw a fluorescent stick down first. In an instant, many fish were scared away by the light source thrown down by Jiang Hai. However, these fish were all small fish. Jiang Hai Already seen it once at sea. (To be continued.)
