Chapter 499 The biggest threat!
Three days later.
Qin Chuan came to the place where the ship was docked.
Looking at those ten huge ships whose size far exceeds that of today's sea vessels.
If you want to rely on human power, it is too difficult. If you rely on the sea breeze, the speed will be extremely slow.
It is reasonable and logical that there should be evaporators to propel these huge ships!
This gave Qin Chuan some peace of mind.
When he got closer, hundreds of people appeared and quickly surrounded Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan first told them that Long Buzhou had given him the boat.
They don't believe it.
Qin Chuan was not polite and taught them a lesson until they all behaved themselves.
Ask carefully.
Qin Chuan was both surprised and speechless.
The surprise is that these ships are indeed steam-powered vessels.
What's speechless is that these guys don't even know how to use steam engines, but instead have hundreds of boatmen on each ship.
The people who negotiated with Qin Chuan were all managers, and the boatmen were still at the bottom of the boat.
What a waste of resources.
"Sir, has our sect leader given us the latest instructions?"
The leader among them was a bald man named Guda.
"I just said that I am the current owner of these ships! Where did Long Buzhou get the instructions?" Qin Chuan snapped his fingers, and the mimetic insect turned into a man in black. He took him to the sky and finally smashed him heavily on the reef, leaving him unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Send someone smarter and more clever over here!" Qin Chuan pointed at them.
Their hearts were trembling wildly.
Even though they often sail overseas and have a wide range of interests, they know many things that people in Qian Country and other countries cannot know.
But they had never seen anyone who could appear out of thin air and fly and float in the air!
They fully understood that Qin Chuan in front of them was no ordinary person.
It is possible that Long Buzhou really gave him control of the ship.
"What? No one comes out? You should know that this is a good opportunity for you to turn things around!" Qingyue said, looking down at everyone from a high position while being carried by the simulated insect.
Only then did they react.
A shirtless young man jumped onto the reef, drew his knife and stabbed Guda, whose life or death was unknown.
After making sure it is resolved.
He came to Qin Chuan and knelt down: "I am Mi Hong, willing to obey all your orders!"
Qin Chuan glanced at the man.
He seemed to be honest, but he just killed Guda directly, which showed that he was not only brave, but also thoughtful and knew how to eliminate the threat first.
He is a ruthless person.
If this person is used to manage these people, he should be very capable.
As for loyalty, that naturally needs to be controlled by the Three Corpse Pills.
"That's right. Now tell me about what you encountered when you went to the open sea and the customs and practices you witnessed." Qin Chuan ordered.
"Here!"
After Mi Hong finished his story.
Qin Chuan also had a general understanding. Every time Long Buzhou sent his men, they were responsible for transporting Long Buzhou's men to the open sea to capture masters.
Five thousand miles away from the coastline of Qian Kingdom.
There are the Chaos Star Countries.
There are hundreds of countries, big and small.
The local customs and practices are very different from those of the countries near Qian State.
Compared with Qian and other countries, their strength is much weaker. Each country has only one or two grandmasters.
In addition, there are some of their experiences at sea.
What evil wind, what sea monster.
However, from his description, we can guess that the evil wind is a typhoon and the sea monster is a whale or something like that.
After listening, Qin Chuan felt that the biggest gain was not the existence of the Chaos Star Countries, but that they were five thousand miles away from here, and there was no rumor about the Kaiyuan Continent.
This means that Kaiyuan Continent is even farther away.
Qin Chuan once worried that if Kaiyuan Continent was too close, there would be an invasion war in the future when sea transportation developed.
Now it seems that I am worrying too much.
No, maybe Mi Hong didn't remember it, Qin Chuan immediately asked: "Then do you know Kaiyuan Continent?"
As soon as these words came out!
Mi Hong's expression changed obviously.
Qin Chuan realized that he must know the news of Kaiyuan Continent.
"Say it out!" Qin Chuan ordered.
Mi Hong swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, how did you know about this continent?"
"These are not questions you should ask. Answer the young master's orders!" Qingyue said as she put the sword on Mi Hong's neck.
Mi Hong was so scared that he slapped his face immediately: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
Then he said in a panic: "I have heard from people in the Chaos Star Countries that there are three great divine countries in Kaiyuan Continent. They are extremely powerful and have an invincible fleet patrolling the boundless sea.
Whenever they encountered a country, they would order it to submit, pay tribute, and pay taxes. They would even select women. The princesses of many countries were forcibly taken away by them!
If they resist or are unwilling, they will destroy the country.
The Chaos Star Countries had already been conquered by them.
We were also afraid that they would discover our country, so we always hid our identities and pretended to be from a small country on the edge of the Chaos Stars. "
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows.
Why does it feel like Kaiyuan Continent has developed capitalism and is colonizing the entire world?
Now that they have conquered the Chaos Star Countries, it seems that they are not far from being discovered here.
If they wanted him to pay tribute, they also wanted to steal his women.
He will never agree to it!
The two sides will inevitably start a war!
And this war may break out at any time.
Qin Chuan had a strong sense of crisis.
"Then do you know how powerful the Kaiyuan Continent is?" Qin Chuan continued to ask.
"I heard that they have guns that can spit fire. Just ordinary soldiers can kill a grandmaster!" Mi Hong said with great fear.
"Is it the same thing?" Qin Chuan took out the musket that Xuanniao had used before.
"Yes! It is this thing!" Mi Hong was very shocked: "Sir, have you ever come into contact with Kaiyuan Continent?"
Listen to this.
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, as this meant that Kaiyuan Continent was still using muskets, and probably also ordinary cannons.
The level of development should be similar to that of the 17th and 18th centuries on Earth.
As for weapons, Qian Country already has machine guns, which are more advanced than theirs.
But currently the production is limited and the amount of ammunition is also limited.
The Kaiyuan Continent has had these things for a long time, and the quantity must be astonishing.
If a war breaks out in the near future, the people of Kaiyuan Continent will easily defeat them relying solely on numbers.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan felt lucky when looking at the ship in front of him.
Now that we have steam-powered ships, we can dismantle the steam engines and transport them back to the imperial capital for replication.
Once the imitation is successful, with the help of the steam engine, industrial development will increase rapidly and various types of automation will appear.
The production capacity of machine guns and other items will also increase rapidly!
Qin Chuan made a prompt decision and ordered Mi Hong and others to dismantle the steam engines of two of the ships!
