Chapter 126 Oil in the Middle East
Chapter 126 There is oil in the Middle East
The warhead of the thick crossbow bullet is about 80 mm thick, which is close to the limit of the arrow branches used for large crossbow bows. Its strange appearance looks a bit like the RPG series rockets.
Behind the warhead is a bamboo tube wrapped around glass wire and glue, so that the elastic body can withstand the huge stress when the giant crossbow is fired.
After the crossbow flew out, the resistance will open the sickle-shaped short wings, giving it a more stable ballistic and reducing airflow interference, which is the characteristic of the RPG series rockets.
The inside of the crossbow bullet is filled with a completely sealed glass bottle, and the other spaces contain gunpowder that is at least simpler than the raw material of the fire foam.
Of course, Martin doesn't expect that such a little gunpowder can be used to destroy the target. The function of these gunpowder is to be ignited during impact, and then the explosion will break the glass bottle and ignite the cheaper things inside.
The black gold, oil, which is actually produced by the Arab Empire, will only be known to people for more than 700 years after the glass bottle.
After mixing honey, lead powder and colloidal ingredients, the charge of petroleum matrix is easy to burn and becomes sticky.
When the impact burns the gunpowder and causes the fuel to explode, a large flare-induced point will form, which looks a bit like a tactical weapon on the modern battlefield... Why haven't you thought about it?
——Namon bomb, this dangerous and deadly weapon.
The result of the explosion of gunpowder, just as Abu Bakr and his son saw, would burn hostile ships into a huge torch. Then before a warship that was truly made of steel appeared, it should be said that there was no warship that was not afraid of this fierce fire attack.
Facing the huge oil sea in the Middle East, Martin often feels a little regretful. He is not a good mechanic, otherwise in this era, even if the shell is a wooden tank, he can conquer the entire world at will.
Although he knew the principle of the internal combustion engine, unfortunately, the distance between the principle and the physical object was as far away as from Earth to Mars. At least Martin did not consider these things before the first batch of students he educated became teachers.
After all, the failure of making muskets and cannons has almost hurt him. He began to doubt whether the physical and chemical properties he had mastered had changed in this world.
However, when the shooting effect of the flying swallow i-type crossbow he designed appeared, he became happy again. No matter what, this weapon that would pierce there as long as it hits and bursts out a large ball of flames should be the most powerful weapon in the world before the cannon was developed.
Juliana ran to Zhao Fubo and took his hand happily.
"What kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful. With such things, we are safe no matter where we go on the sea!"
Zhao Fubo agreed with this matter. Although his teacher told him that this thing was just a very primitive thing. The firelight in front of him told him that this weapon was the most powerful weapon used to conquer the entire world in this era.
And the things loaded in this weapon are really worthless in the Middle East.
Looking at Juliana, who had her blonde hair tied behind her head, and her bright appearance in the sun, Zhao Fubo couldn't help but move, and reminisce about the smell of "France wet kiss" at first.
Unfortunately, the time was wrong at this moment. He turned his head and looked at the burning flames. Faced with Juliana's curiosity, he learned from Teacher Martin when he made this weapon and said something.
"We have oil!"
Yes, at this time, the state of oil in the world was basically still one or two. It is estimated that the number of people in the world will burn them to ashes, which is enough!
Zhao Fubo's happiness did not last long. After a few minutes, he received a problem thrown from Shu Yuer. Just like Shu Yuer, he felt that he really couldn't refuse this, and the only tears of the girl who had close contact with him.
"When are you going to take me to travel to Datongbu Island? Look, our crossbows have been built and the ship has been built. When will we set off? And don't throw me away, otherwise I promise, if you come back, you will never see me!"
When someone put this threat in front of him, Zhao Fubo was really in trouble. He stretched his neck awkwardly to find Shu Yuer, but unfortunately this ghost girl turned her head and chatted with Martin with great joy.
Zhao Fubo said hatefully: "Hmph, this Yu'er... It's true. If I hadn't gone to Datongbu Island, I would have left her at home!"
Facing Juliana's questioning, Zhao Fubo looked at the blue eyes that had become bright and shiny because of travel, and could not say anything he refused.
"Okay, okay, I... let's put the crossbow on the ship and then test it a few more times and it's almost done..."
Listening to Zhao Fubo’s humming and hilarious words, Julianna understood that Zhao Fubo originally planned to leave herself at home. However, she was generous and no longer angry since she had the opportunity to travel.
Just keep him aside and let him reflect on himself!
"Sister Yu'er, Sister Yu'er, we're going together..."
Faced with Juliana's excitement, Shu Yuer gave Zhao Fubo a blank look and blamed him for not sticking to the principles. Then, he raised the problem that Zhao Fubo had assigned to him when he was the first to ask for his mission.
"Hey, we all went to Datongbo Island, what should we do here? Are there only Teacher Martin and Muke left here?"
To be honest, Zhao Fubo had to have a bitter face and was speechless.
No matter how you sail to Datongbu Island, you must do it. It not only represents the development of trade routes, but also is the source of the Song people in the Yulin Army of Zhao Fubo.
As a means of increasing population, this is just a short-term behavior. The longer-term decree was promulgated to the people on the island before Zhao Fubo prepared to leave the Isle of Ferai this time.
He gave everyone on the island an order, requiring the people on the island not to be compatible, but to be able to marry. And when one of the parents becomes a free man, the child is born to be a free man.
Obviously, as a means to increase the population, this is really a long and painful process. The premise of marriage is carried out according to the ethics of the Song Dynasty. In addition, anyone who prevents marriage due to race and religious belief will be hanged in any situation. Another thing is that parents cannot arrange the marriage of their children.
At this time, most of the young people on the island were already there, and as slaves they were bought, they had no fathers. Martin's "unacceptable" proposal was almost useless.
With the issuance of the order, I believe everyone can think that Zhao Fubo's order will make the people on the island cheer.
What made them even more cheered was that a subsequent decree issued stated that if a couple gave birth to more than two children, they would be exempted from their slave status and become free. If they gave birth to more than three children, all the parenting costs will be borne by the respected island owner.
Such an announcement did not make Zhao Fubo's reputation on the Island of Felekai sharply increase. In addition, there was already a rumor among the slaves as mentioned in the previous chapter.
"Have you heard that the island master was chosen by the gods. His representative on earth is the emperor of all of us!"
"Mr. Martin has accepted the metaphor of God and asked him to assist the island master, and he will become a greater emperor than Saladin!"
"The island master is simply the son of the god. Who has ever heard of him having parents?"
If the source of such rumors is traced, I am afraid that Captain Matt's father Abu Bakr will be traced.
With the laws of the island owners that made all slaves grateful, Shu Yuer and Juliana also added icing on the cake to these laws according to their different educations.
For example, if you are over forty years old and have no children, you are not allowed to take concubines. This order applies to people below the general, etc., those who violate the order will be demoted to slaves.
No infants are allowed, no abortions are allowed, no marriage is allowed, and no living together without marriage is allowed. This order applies to people below the general, and those who violate the order shall be demoted to slaves.
Such commands with different characteristics come from Martin and even including people around Zhao Fubo such as Amina. Although they cannot issue orders themselves, when Zhao Fubo issues orders, they usually have to discuss them.
Not long after, the Feiyan I-type crossbow was finally installed on the ship, and the factory also provided enough crossbow bullets. As the travel date approached, Zhao Fubo had to send someone to send a secret letter to Sanniang, he had to arrange the defense on the island.
"Teacher Martin, you and Muke are the only ones who stay here, I'm a little worried!"
Martin took the pipe from his mouth and scoffed at Zhao Fubo.
"Tsk, you can still think of me as a teacher. You just want to accompany those three girls leisurely. I, the teacher...hum..."
Martin's reaction made Zhao Fubo ashamed. After he was bought, he was either engaged in various conspiracies or constantly educated Zhao Fubo, or wrote the "Heavenly Book" that would be handed over to Shu Yuer for safekeeping in the future.
I have never had time to spare for so long.
"Or...or...or...or... teacher, I'll buy you a woman, what kind of thing do you like?"
Martin never expected that Zhao Fubo would "progress" so quickly after he opened this trick. He even began to care about his teacher's "sexual blessing" life.
"Tsk, little shit, do you have to worry about my business?"
Zhao Fubo, who flattered and slapped his feet, smiled awkwardly.
"Teacher, you once said that you are the third in charge of the family. I promise to buy you an obedient one this time so that you can also taste the feeling of being a top leader!"
Martin suddenly remembered that when he talked to Zhao Fubo, he talked about these things, but he didn't expect it to be used here.
