My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 481 Dismantling

These intimidating black crossbow machines exude a cold light.

The crossbow body is several meters wide, and the bow string is made from the large sinews of the two golden dragons that were hunted in Jinling last time.

The two ends of the bow string are connected to two huge crossbow arms, which are curved, and two dragons with long teeth are installed above them. When the bowstring is pulled, the crossbow arm suddenly stretches forward, shooting the arrow out at an astonishing speed.

The armor-piercing arrowhead was carefully crafted by the Ministry of Industry because of Wang Jinglong's request.

Each one uses the empire's most precious cold iron reserves.

These precious resources were brought to Xiyuan by the emperor to cast armor and short weapons for the Forbidden Army.

The Ministry of Industry has only a very small part at its disposal.

Wang Jinglong used up more than half of the reserves of the Ministry of Industry for the special sea-going crossbows in his hands.

He was able to use the court's reserves in this way because, on the one hand, he took into account the bright future of the Ministry of Rites. The court's large resources were tilted towards the navy and he was prepared to rebuild the naval guards as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, there is the influence of Wang Jinglong’s father Wang Qiong and Wangge Lao in the cabinet.

If it were another ship, Magellan probably wouldn't be so panicked.

When people used huge iron hooks to fish the thing out of the water, most of the sailors were not interested in these four-legged, stupid beasts that seemed to be able to walk in the sea.

In desperation, I said that your old ship, which is about to be retired, should be regarded as a gift from me.

For these naval forces, these crossbows and arrows are even more important than the big ship underneath them.

While Magellan was busy repairing the warship like an ant on a hot pot, the small boat on the other side that had just gone to sea to hunt down those black figures also returned from a distance.

The weight of the crossbow arrows was far greater than that of ordinary iron arrowheads. Dozens of people on the ship worked together to recover the entire bundle of weapons.

Before leaving, Zhu Houcong said to Magellan, "Emperor, you must not forget our promise. We agreed to give me a fleet to complete the circumnavigation of the world——"

The spear, which was like a work of art, slowly fell into the deep sea along with the ship beast.

Cold iron's own characteristics make it impervious to blood stains, and its extraordinary toughness allows it to penetrate muscles and bones without damaging itself.

Even after Wang Jinglong sent two teams to chase the black figures that had just jumped off the ship beasts and fled, he lay on the bow of the ship and watched Magellan with great interest while cursing loudly in Frankie language. Due to bad luck, he had no choice but to lead his fellow Frankies to repair the warship.

After all, in terms of price alone, the value of each of these crossbow arrows is enough to be equivalent to the same amount of gold.

The well-prepared navy soldiers dived into the water with iron chains and used harpoons to make several holes in the ship beast's body. After confirming that the thing was really dead, they pulled out the crossbow arrows from the ship beast's body.

After all, the others are all imperial ships. If they cannot be rescued and sink to the bottom of the sea, they will be rebuilt next year.

Then pull the iron rope and bring them all to the boat in one go.

But this thing is different.

They have seen a lot of ocean giants, and with the alliance with the sharks, it is foreseeable that they will see more in the future.

This ##￥ is Magellan's own ship.

However, if a third-rank official of the imperial court takes the lead in the ashes - and he is also a Western Hu official who directly belongs to the emperor, this kind of thing cannot be seen every year.

These cold iron arrows were placed on the crossbow again without having to be cleaned again.

More people were more interested in watching the officials transferred from the Ministry of Works and the sailors repair the ship that had just been damaged by the impact of the ship beast.

When you return to Daming, I will go through the procedures for you to transfer the ownership.

The sailors from the land of Wuyue hung a man and a woman on the pole. They were wearing red and green robes and had blood on their faces. Apparently they were treated well by the Ming army who led them when they arrived. Treated a lot.

"Senior brother? Junior sister? You guys - I knew you would definitely come to save me! Woohoo!"

He Yingjun didn't know where the strength came from at this moment and stood up from the ground, holding the edge of the boat and looking at the two people, his expression was particularly touched. "Don't be moved so easily. Why don't you take a look again -"

Adhering to the guidance of the emperor's usual saying that when three people are together, there must be a light bulb.

Although Fan He didn't quite understand what a light bulb was.

The emperor said that it was an invention recently being made by the Ministry of Industry.

Following closely are things like internal combustion engines, engines, and automobiles.

Fan He said that the smart people in the Ministry of Industry are really useful, so they must know how these things work!

Looking at the eyes of the girl next to him, Fan He, as a person who had been there, could easily tell that this guy was probably interested in the man tied to the flagpole.

but--

Fan He looked at the couple's robe opposite.

Then he looked at the busy Magellan and the self-deceiving He Yingjun below, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Why don't you use your brain and think about it? If it weren't for Lord Wang's crossbow arrows being so fast and accurate, you would have sunk into the river to feed the fish right now."

Looking at the girl on the side who still seemed to be unable to see the situation clearly, Fan He felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel.

The emperor asked himself to bring this guy back to the capital with all his beard and tail intact. If he was a fool, he would be in trouble along the way.

How did this guy bypass so many people and enter Penglai Immortal Island?

After saying that, Fan He looked at the girl beside him who fell into silence, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this guy is not too stupid, otherwise he should have asked Zhenren Zhang for some secret medicine.

The old Taoist doesn't have much seriousness in him, and he doesn't seem to be a good person.

Fan He always had an inexplicable hostility towards Zhang Fawei.

This kind of hostility came from instinct, and even Zhu Houcong was amazed by it.

"Bring them here - it seems they are here for this imperial prisoner."

Wang Jinglong's eyes were vicious, and he could naturally tell the relationship between several people at a glance.

And the old man was extremely vicious. In order to alienate the relationship between a few people, he directly pointed out the woman's harmful intentions.

He cursed at the young man in his twenties.

"You are stupid enough. A woman and a bastard who doesn't know where she came from have charmed you so much that you can actually do things that harm your fellow disciples... You'd better tell the truth. After all, other than joining us, you can go back It’s also death.”

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Jinglong's words, the man's face suddenly turned pale.

"I……"

"Brother, don't listen to this old guy's nonsense, I..."

"hehe--"

Wang Jinglong sneered.

He looked at the panic-stricken woman in red, and the panic that flashed in her eyes just now proved Wang Jinglong's guess.

Next to him, He Yingjun saw the speechless scene of the man in front of him, and his heart was filled with despair for a moment.
