125: Chapter 125 Tang Dynasty Sailing Ships, One Ship Per Person
Jiang Chen returned to the small fishing boat.
General Meng Tian was jumping over from a destroyer not far away.
The three Terracotta Warriors once again entered their standing guard mode, lined up on the deck.
Jiang Chen looked left and right for a while, but did not see Murong Aotian and Yunhai Marie returning automatically.
"They weren't actually destroyed by the missiles, were they?"
Jiang Chen returned to the cockpit and issued a command.
[Radar scan, search for Murong Aotian and Yunhai Marie.]
A short while later.
The radar displayed.
Murong Aotian and Yunhai Marie were two nautical miles away, five hundred meters underwater.
Because their power systems suffered damage, they are currently in standby mode.
"A dozen damage points, but they haven't disintegrated."
"Then there is still hope."
Following the radar's instructions, Jiang Chen steered the small fishing boat to a sea area two nautical miles away.
Splash.
Jiang Chen cast the fishing net.
It went down to catch them.
This fishing net was magical; it could expand or shrink, had elastic stretching capabilities, and could automatically track downwards. Once it caught something, even a shark could not break free.
The fishing net kept sinking.
When it sank to two hundred meters.
The cockpit interface suddenly displayed that near the dim water surface, there was actually a dilapidated ancient sailing ship.
"Strange, why is there a sailing ship floating in this water?"
Puzzled, Jiang Chen pulled the fishing net forward and successfully hooked the sailing ship.
Just as he was about to hoist it up, the system issued a notification.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for catching a big net, retrieve it promptly.]
"Oh? Is this also black technology?"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
He was originally just curious about why there was a sailing ship here.
Now, after the system's notification, it seemed that this sailing ship was not simple.
So, he pulled hard.
The underwater sailing ship began to float upwards.
Splash!
Accompanied by a huge wave.
The sailing ship broke through the water.
It floated on the sea surface.
The sailing ship was about the same size as the small fishing boat, but it was made entirely of wood. It was unknown how long it had been soaking underwater, but it looked very dilapidated.
But what was strange was.
It had not disintegrated.
Even the masts and sails were still intact.
[Sailing ship, a merchant ship from the Tang Dynasty, used for trade, powered by the Earth's magnetic field.]
Just as Jiang Chen was puzzled, the system gave a hint.
Some knowledge about Tang Dynasty shipbuilding techniques and magnetic field propulsion flooded into his mind.
"The propulsion is also the Earth's magnetic field?"
Jiang Chen suddenly remembered that when he fished up the Terracotta Warriors earlier, it was also mentioned that ancient levitating boats were also powered by the Earth's magnetic field.
"After so many years, the hull hasn't rotted, and it's still powered by the Earth's magnetic field... This sailing ship is too awesome."
"I don't mind you being the little brother of my small fishing boat."
Jiang Chen looked at the sailing ship, then at the three Terracotta Warriors, and made up his mind.
He planned to form a combat fleet composed of the fishing boat and sailing ships.
Meanwhile, General Meng Tian, who was standing to the side, seemed to have taken some interest in this sailing ship.
He turned back and said.
"I can tell, this sailing ship is very suitable for me."
However.
General Bai Qi snorted coldly and said, "Clearly, my temperament is a better fit."
"Move aside, everyone. This sailing ship clearly has the scent of my Li clan descendants," General Li Xin said leisurely.
The three Terracotta Warriors had suddenly all taken an interest in this sailing ship.
They even drew their weapons, wanting to fight over it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Chen quickly shouted.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! There is no point in you all fighting like this!"
"Can't you just sit down nicely and stab each other... oops, I mean, discuss it with each other?"
"For example, Rock, Paper, Scissors?"
Jiang Chen advised.
"Fine! Then Rock, Paper, Scissors it is."
The three Terracotta Warriors looked at each other and all extended their fingers.
General Meng Tian made a fist.
General Bai Qi made scissors.
General Meng Tian won.
Then, in a PK with General Li Xin, General Meng Tian made a fist again, while General Li Xin made paper, so General Li Xin won.
But just then, General Meng Tian suddenly noticed that General Li Xin's paper only had four fingers, and he said, "Your paper clearly cannot cover my fist."
"Do you dare to break the rules?!"
General Li Xin glared at him.
"Give me some face."
"Let's give this sailing ship to General Li Xin first."
"If there are more sailing ships later, everyone will share them equally, how about that?"
Jiang Chen suggested.
Given the vastness of the ocean, was there any need to worry about not catching the next sailing ship?
"Fine!"
The two Terracotta Warriors finally stopped the dispute.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
He cast the fishing net again, preparing to fish up those two mechs.
However, this time.
When the fishing net submerged to three hundred meters.
The interface in the cockpit displayed that there was another sailing ship nearby!
"Ha!"
"Speak of the wife, and Cao the Thief appears!"
Jiang Chen was overjoyed.
Without waiting for the system's prompt, he directly pulled up the sailing ship.
This sailing ship weighed about ten tons.
But fortunately, there was buoyancy, and it quickly broke through the water.
"This sailing ship should finally belong to me!"
General Meng Tian was the first to jump over.
General Bai Qi was displeased and was about to argue, but Jiang Chen quickly held him back and said, "Don't worry, there are still people below... oh no, there must still be sailing ships below!"
General Bai Qi had to continue waiting.
After saying this.
Jiang Chen cast the fishing net for the third time.
This time.
When it submerged to four hundred meters.
Sure enough, another sailing ship appeared!
This sailing ship was larger than the previous two and seemed to be the flagship of this sailing ship formation.
Splash!
This flagship rushed out of the water, and its sails opened automatically.
Even after a thousand years, its sails did not have a single trace of wear.
"This wife, er no, this sailing ship, it's yours, General Bai Qi."
Jiang Chen said.
General Bai Qi was so happy that his mud teeth were exposed.
He cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks, young man!"
After saying this.
He stomped his foot and rushed onto the sailing ship.
Jiang Chen looked down and saw that a footprint had been left on the deck of his small fishing boat...
"Brother, take it easy."
Jiang Chen looked at the small fishing boat with heartache.
This was coated with Carbon-9, how could a single stomp leave a mark?
Whoosh!
The wind suddenly picked up.
The sailing ship set sail.
Seeing that the three Terracotta Warriors were all about to leave, steering the sailing ships.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to follow, he suddenly remembered something.
"Wait, why did I come to this sea area again?"
Jiang Chen thought for a few seconds before remembering.
Oh.
I am here to fish up Murong Aotian and Yunhai Marie.
He shook his head.
He cast the fishing net for the fourth time.
This time.
Jiang Chen did not see any other sailing ships.
It seemed that this merchant fleet only had three sailing ships.
[Mechs have entered the fishing net.]
Looking at the prompt in the cockpit, Jiang Chen pulled up the fishing net.
"Stay in the warehouse for now, I'll repair you later."
Jiang Chen placed the two mechs in the recessed area of the deck.
These two mechs stored a large amount of combat data.
And they were not completely destroyed.
After repairing them later.
They could still be used.
Jiang Chen started the small fishing boat and headed north at three times the speed of sound.
After driving for about half an hour.
He saw the distant sky, where there was the roaring sound of many fighter jets.
Clearly.
An air battle was still taking place there.
"It should be the USS Constellation carrier strike group."
Jiang Chen took the lead.
He was preparing to take the three Terracotta Warriors and charge over.
Just at this moment.
General Meng Tian suddenly laughed up at the sky, "Haha, this general now knows how to use this sailing ship!"
As the words fell.
The sailing ship, which was originally relying on wind power, suddenly shot up into the sky and hovered in mid-air.
General Li Xin, not far away, seemed to have realized something.
Soon, the sailing ship beneath him also slowly floated up.
As if an invisible force of the Earth's magnetic field was supporting it.
Seeing this, General Bai Qi, whose comprehension was not bad, also made his sailing ship hover.
For a moment.
General Meng Tian steered Sailing Ship No. 1, floating on Jiang Chen's left.
General Li Xin steered Sailing Ship No. 2, floating on Jiang Chen's right.
General Bai Qi steered Sailing Ship No. 3, floating behind Jiang Chen.
"Damn!"
"They seem to be able to use the Earth's magnetic field!"
Jiang Chen exclaimed.
The scene of these sailing ships hovering in the air looked extremely stunning.
