    But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The cement boat itself is extremely heavy. It is quite strenuous to run such a behemoth. If there are such many sandbags to increase the weight, it will be even more overwhelming.  It does increase the weight of the boat, which is a burden on the speed of the boat.  After this enemy salvo, the role of the sandbags was lost. For the sake of speed, we had to give up this hero.  "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The cannon arrived again as promised. This time, although the enemy fired in a hurry, the hit rate was several times higher than the previous times. After all, the distance was close.  The reason!  "Did you see it? The hit rate this time has improved a lot! Hahaha" The coalition ship saw the fireballs shot by the cannon, and forty or fifty of them landed on the Mingguo ship.  The power of the cannon is also much greater than before. Once it is hit, cracks, pits and the like will continue to appear in the cement ship.  ¡°The next round will be even more powerful, I¡¯m really looking forward to it,¡± ¡°The power of God is everywhere!¡± And the final mission of the sandbags has been completed. This time they did not disappoint, and still played the biggest buffering role in this battle!  Withstood the huge bombardment, preventing it from ravaging the deck.  I can finally be successful and withdraw from this battle.  Many sailors immediately ran out of the cabin. They began to carry sandbags and threw them into the vast sea.  "Yuan Aiqing, the enemy did not retreat this time. They turned the rudder. Great! Let's start!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the enemy ship with a telescope. After turning from the port side, it reached 90 degrees, and then turned again.  Obviously thinking one hundred and eighty degrees.  This time the bombardment had already allowed the Ming fleet to advance as much as half a mile, so it was time to start.  "It's the Emperor." "All ships, activate the charging settings and move forward at full speed!" "All sniper crossbowmen, armed with sniper gasoline crossbows, are in position!" Yuan Keli gave the order, and the entire fleet passed the semaphore. Everyone knew that this was the biggest counterattack.  The time has come.  And the sailors quickly ran to their positions one by one.  A group of three people hold their own sniper crossbows, and the crossbow arrows in the previous sequence have been loaded before the battle begins.  So time is not tight.  One by one, they began to adapt to the ups and downs of the ship.  Aim the sniper crossbow in front of the battleship.  The rest need to load petrol bombs before they start loading crossbow arrows.  The sniper crossbows on the plate armor are ordinary, and those gasoline bombs cannot be on the deck. Once placed on the deck, it is equivalent to doing the enemy a favor.  Exploded by an iron ball.  That would be great fun.  The sniper crossbow has the Vientiane Wheel as its fulcrum.  Theoretically, it can rotate 360 ??degrees, but of course that is impossible, because the body against the side of the ship has to be suspended in the air.  However, the opening angle is indeed large. Compared with the artillery on Western ships, which can only reach 60 or 70 degrees, the shooting area is much stronger.  And some sailors who had no weapons due to the artillery bombardment could only wait nearby to prepare for casualties so that they could act as substitutes.  "Come up and torture this son of a bitch to death!" "Yes, it's time for our sniper crossbows to show off their power!" The snipers said arrogantly one by one. At the beginning of the battle, they had nothing to do and could only watch.  , or grinding down below, this battle is extremely breathtaking.  And the sniper without the sniper crossbow is like a tiger without teeth. He stares from the side and can only act as a supporting role for other groups. On this occasion of the war, it is extremely depressing.  The power storage equipment has been around since the birth of the cement ship. It is a device that stores power by squeezing the spring group, and then releases it to act on the propeller, which can instantly accelerate the ship.  Now with Song Yingxing's wind power generation, this move can be reinvented.  But now the transformation has not started, we can only continue to use it.  As soon as the power storage device is turned on, the speed of the ship immediately increases!  Although this kind of thruster is primitive, it is definitely the most advanced at this time.  At this time, the coalition's second round of artillery was ready and started shooting!  With the roar of the artillery, the iron ball roared out and rushed straight towards the Ming army warship.  However, due to the sudden acceleration of the cement ship and the iron ball heading towards the Ming army, the hit rate did not increase due to God's blessing. On the contrary, it dropped a lot.  Hundreds of iron cannons were falling from the sky like dumplings.  There was quite a spectacular splash behind the Ming army's fleet.  "This Westerner is so hateful! Hahaha, but now my fleet should start to perform." "No!" When Zorn saw the Ming army's warships speeding up collectively, he quickly shouted, "No!"  It's not scary for the sailors of the Ming Army to wear plate armor. The crossbow has a short range and the speed of everyone's ships is not much different. Just play slowly at a safe distance. Even if they have no choice but to face each other, they still have a considerable winning rate.  But now it seems that the speed of the Ming army's ships has beenCollision is no joke. With this kind of collision, Zorn has no doubt that he can sink his ship.  The current fleet no longer has paddlers or paddle slaves, and relies on wind power, so this sudden acceleration was something he never expected.  "The order is given to change direction immediately and retreat quickly!" The Western Allied Forces, who had just finished firing artillery fire, began to turn the rudder after receiving the order.  But this process is not about a car making a 90-degree turn, it also takes time.  "How is it possible? Why can Mingguo suddenly accelerate!?" Jinni Ge was immediately shocked. This acceleration came too suddenly.  "There is no oar sticking out!" "Is it a car and boat design?" The word "car and boat" means that there are water wheels on the boat that can be stepped on.  "Even a car can't be so fast! This is too abnormal." Everyone was stunned by the speed of the Ming army. Of course they knew what it meant.  Even Luo Bao, who had always been at odds with Zorn, did not speak.  Of course they could not imagine that the reason for the accelerated speed of the boat was that it was an improved version of the bamboo dragonfly made by Emperor Ming Dynasty - it was cut from bamboo slices, and the blades were like propellers. A bamboo pole was inserted in the middle. When the bamboo pole was rubbed hard, the blades would rise.  Looks like a dragonfly.  The bamboo dragonfly is a great invention in ancient China. Bamboo dragonfly toys were produced more than 1,400 years ago.  In the Ming Dynasty, bamboo dragonflies were introduced to France and performed at the French Academy of Sciences.  Because the bamboo dragonfly's blades can spin at high speed like a top, it was called the "Chinese top" at the time.  A few decades later, Xu Zhengming, a craftsman from Suzhou, spent his whole day thinking about the bamboo dragonfly that children played with, and wanted to build a helicopter similar to a dragonfly, and also wanted to take people into the sky.  After more than ten years of research, he built a helicopter.  It has a bamboo dragonfly-like propeller, and the driver's seat is like an armchair. It relies on a foot pedal to drive the propeller through a rotating mechanism. During the test flight, it actually flew more than a foot above the ground, and even flew over small rivers and ditches.  Falling.  This must be the first time the propeller is used.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
