Chapter 579 Greek Fire

After Blackbeard laughed, he said coldly: "However, this is a rebellion after all. No captain will tolerate his crew rebelling."

Jack opened his mouth, "This question is still open to discussion."

He is also the captain, and has been rebelled twice by his own men.

Blackbeard asked coldly: "When someone rebelled, why didn't the siren sound, and who was on duty at that time?"

A revenant boatswain points to a pirate sailor hanging from the mast.

"Ah, cook." Blackbeard said coldly: "I still like your cooking very much, but unfortunately... bosun, put down the escape boat. Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to lose an escape boat."

The rope that bound the cook loosened automatically, and the cook fell heavily on the deck.

The other pirate sailors were secretly glad they got away with it.

The cook climbed up from the deck and said with a pleading face: "Captain, don't kill me, please, don't kill me, I too... was confused for a while. If I knew you were really on this ship, I would absolutely There will be no rebellion."

Blackbeard said coldly: "I won't kill you, I will give you a chance to escape, you can jump on the boat right now and row to any position, of course, I will hit you with shells, only once, if you can escape If you do, you will be successful."

The cook was startled, then nodded anxiously, and then hurriedly jumped onto the escape boat.

There was a pair of oars on the boat, and the cook checked to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the oars and the boat, so he rowed desperately forward.

Black Beard smiled coldly, "Hmph, I'm still a little smart, knowing how to move forward."

Blackbeard's "Queen Anne's Revenge" is a huge pirate warship. The sides of the hull are full of cannons, and there are also curved cannons on the deck. These cannons are extremely powerful, and there are at least two hundred of them. Door.

A salvo of fire, not to mention an escape boat, even a large ship like the Endeavor, the flagship of the Empire on which the sun never sets, would be wiped out in an instant.

And these cannons are installed on the side of the ship, and it is difficult to adjust the angle of the shelling greatly. Therefore, if you run to the side of the ship, you are looking for death. The best escape route is to run to the front or back of the ship. .

The cook had observed it a long time ago. On the Queen Anne's Revenge, there was a statue of a steel skull standing on the bow. Therefore, the bow gun could no longer be installed on the deck of the bow, but two huge guns were installed at the stern. stern cannon.

Therefore, it is safest to run from the direction of the bow.

Blackbeard smiled coldly: "It seems that we have to use the secret weapon of our Queen Anne's Revenge."

"Yes!" The corpse sailor snickered, and moved a joystick next to the rudder wheel.

Immediately, two long metal pipes stretched out from under the Iron Skull, aiming at the cook who was struggling to row.

These two metal pipes are not thick, and they are not muzzles, but very long, about ten meters long enough, the pirates on the ship are full of doubts, not knowing what kind of weapons they are.

Angelica said eagerly: "Dad! Don't do this! Can't you hold your hands high?"

Blackbeard smiled coldly and said: "My daughter, this is rebellion, and rebellion should be punished. I only punished one person for your sake, and it's not about punishing the mastermind. This is to thank me, not prevent me from exercising my most basic rights as a captain."

Angelica said eagerly: "But Dad, you have the right to kill him, but you also have the right to let him go."

Blackbeard smiled and said, "Yes, so, I gave him the opportunity to decide his own destiny, which is not something everyone has."

The missionary walked to the bow and prayed for the escaped cook in a low voice.

Blackbeard smiled and said, "Let's take a look at this devout missionary, praying or not."

At this time, the cook had already rowed the boat a hundred meters away from the Queen Anne's Revenge.

The missionary kept praying for the cook's boat.

Blackbeard smiled coldly and shouted loudly: "Launch!"

Whoosh!

Two pillars of fire erupted from the nozzle of the bow in an instant, and the entire sea area was completely engulfed in flames, including the cook and the small boat.

The pirates all exclaimed.

They had never seen such a powerful flame, which burned directly on the sea!

Even though the pillar of fire has been sprayed out, the entire sea area within a range of [-] meters is still full of fire. The flame does not have any medium, it just burns on the sea surface, and there is no intention of extinguishing it.

The missionary was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Cook, jump off the boat! Jump off the boat!"

However, the cook had already been completely swallowed by the fire waves, and the whole person, together with the boat, burned blazingly.

Fear spread in everyone's heart.

"What is this..." Jack asked tremblingly.

"This is Greek fire." Xufeng came out and said calmly.

Jack looked at Xufeng in surprise, "Xufeng? You are also on this ship? Are you also tricked into coming up here?"

Xufeng smiled and said, "No, I came up on my own initiative."

Jack asked, "Then why didn't I see you?"

Xufeng smiled and said, "Because I've been in the private room all the time."

Jack said in astonishment: "What? You...you are in the private room, and I'm cleaning the deck?"

Xufeng smiled and said, "Yes, it was arranged by your girlfriend."

Jack sighed helplessly, "Okay, but I feel at ease if you are here. If I had known you were here, our rebellion would have succeeded."

Xufeng shook her head, "If you had told me earlier, I would have stopped you from doing such a stupid thing."

Jack opened his mouth, changed the topic and said, "...you just said that the kind of fire that can burn on the sea is called Greek fire?"

"Yes." Xufeng nodded and explained: "The so-called Greek fire was invented by a Syrian alchemist during the Crusades. He discovered a kind of oil in Syria, because of the existence of this oil. , It is almost impossible to grow crops there. This kind of fat is black, thick and sticky, but it can burn when it encounters sparks, and it can also burn on the surface of water. He improved this discovery and produced A fire-breathing device, and this kind of fire is also called Greek fire."

In fact, this fat is petroleum.

Under the conditions at that time, no one would think that oil would be the most important energy source in the future.

Jack nodded slightly, "I think about it, I have indeed heard this legend, but it was a long time ago, the recipe of Greek fire has been lost."

Xufeng smiled and said: "Obviously, it has not been lost, but it is in the hands of very few people, and Blackbeard is one of them."

Seeing everyone's expressions of astonishment and fear, Blackbeard proudly said to the missionary: "Do you know when I can feel most close to the Creator?"

The missionary clenched his fists and did not respond.

Blackbeard asked himself and answered: "When I see pain, despair, and fear, the true face of the world will be revealed."

The missionary gritted his teeth, "When suffering and tragedy happen, those who need comfort will receive kindness and sympathy."

Blackbeard smiled and said, "Your Lord, did not answer your prayer."

The missionary said firmly: "No, he gave me greater courage in the face of evil."
