Master of Thermodynamics

Grum was sitting on the back seat of the magic dinghy, firmly secured by two seat belts. He was holding a palm-sized black crystal plate in his hand, staring at the plate closely, and shouting constantly. Yelled:

"It changes direction again, 30 degrees to the left, hurry up and follow..."

An island guard member manipulating the steering wheel, turning the steering wheel quickly with both hands, the boat drew a clear arc on the water, threw a large wave of waves, and drove forward to the left.

"It's accelerating, switching to 3rd gear, and moving forward at full speed..."

Another member of the island protector hurriedly stretched out his right hand and attached it to the rune plate on the surface of the gearbox. With a few slight "clicks", Grumm immediately felt the thrust from the seat back.

The sound of the three-blade propeller stirring the sea water became more pronounced, and the speed of the magic boat increased by a large amount, and even the white wake behind the boat was also widened by nearly 30%.

Soon after the boat drove past, strands of light red liquid emerged from the water, floated and sinked in the waves, and gradually spread out, forming a striking red water band.

This is blood!

Renault stood quietly in front of a large magic speargun on the left side of the boat, holding the speargun body with both hands, scanning back and forth with his eyes on the sea, searching for any abnormalities that might appear.

Three large magic spearguns were installed in other positions of the boat, operated by Moose and two other team members.

Compared with the small magic speargun operated by a single person, the design principle of the large magic speargun is exactly the same. It also uses high-pressure air, runes and high-strength springs as power.

But in the specific structure, the difference between the two is very big.

The first is the length. The small speargun is only 2.5 meters long, and the large speargun is 4 meters long. It is a bit too modest to describe this size as a "gun". Maybe "fish cannon" is a more accurate naming method.

But the paranoid Renault insists that this girl can't explode, how can he be qualified to be called a "cannon"?

The second is "ammunition." The small speargun uses all-metal crossbow arrows, which are close to 2 meters in length and can only shoot one crossbow bolt at a time.

But the large speargun is different. It can shoot 3 crossbow arrows at a time. The length of the crossbow arrows reaches an astonishing 5 meters in length, and the weight is more than 30 kilograms. It can be called a murder weapon in the weapon.

Third, the difference in the size and quantity of "ammunition" also caused huge differences in structure.

Because the large speargun can carry 3 crossbow arrows at the same time, the structure of the gun body is much more complicated, which puts forward higher requirements on the power.

The magicians had to redesign the entire system. The power of the rune group [Linear Acceleration] is higher, the pressure of the high-pressure air is greater, the spring material is better, and the quantity is greater.

This series of changes made the total weight of the large speargun exceed 250 kilograms. Even a brawny man can barely hold it up. If you want to walk or run with it, there is no door.

The best way is to install the large speargun on the boat, so that the large speargun can be moved wherever the boat goes.

In addition, despite the large size and heavy weight of the large speargun, it is not at all cumbersome to use.

Because the magic boat has 4 bases specially welded on it, the large "high-precision bearings" made by Renault are installed on them. You only need to clamp the large speargun in the base to rotate freely, and the bearings will stop. Hysteresis is reduced to a very low level, and it is quite flexible to manipulate.

The purpose of Renault's order to develop a large-scale speargun is precisely to deal with large sea beasts. This magic boat equipped with 4 large-scale spearguns is the first hunting boat transformed by Hai Chao Ling.

On the earth, European whiteskins drove special whaling boats and used large whaling forks to kill countless whales in hundreds of years. In the 19th century in the United States, more than half of the fishing boats were used for whaling.

One can imagine how many resources humans have obtained from whales.

The oceans of other worlds are so rich, the number of large sea beasts is far more than that of the earth, and the resources that can be obtained are dozens of times, or even a hundred times that of the earth. How can Renault want to miss it?

If you kill a 30-meter-long large sea beast, how much meat can you get? How many barrels of fat can be boiled? How many people can you feed?

What's more exciting is that large sea beasts have a great chance of producing mana spar, which is an extremely important strategic material. For this alone, Renault can't let the large sea beasts go.

Renault has made up his mind to vigorously develop the marine animal hunting industry in the future. In the future, Haichao will form a large fleet of at least dozens of hunting ships to shuttle through various sea areas and hunt marine animals everywhere.

Imagine that if 10,000 large sea beasts are killed every year, calculated according to a 20% production rate of magic crystals, that would be 2,000 magic crystals, which is definitely an incomparably huge wealth.

Renault felt his heart beat faster just by **** in his heart.

kill!

You have to kill, the fool won't kill!

As for whether the large sea beasts will be killed or not, don't be silly, you don't have to consider this question for 100 years.

In such a vast ocean, there are probably more than 50,000 large sea beasts that die every year due to various reasons. The 10,000 planned by Renault is only a trivial part.

Besides, even after years of hunting, the number of sea beasts has been reduced by 50% or even more, which is a good thing.

Because this means that the navigation channels in the various sea areas will become safer.

Don't forget, the large sea beasts in the alien world are not gentle and harmless creatures. On the contrary, they are extremely dangerous. After seeing them, the aliens will only walk around.

It's not like the whales of the earth at all, it has no hindrance to human beings.

"It is floating, please be prepared..."

Grum, staring at the crystal plate, started yelling in excitement again. Renault took a step forward, pressed his body against the large speargun, placed his right finger on the trigger, and was ready to shoot at any time. Made the same action.

The crystal plate that Grumm was holding was the "Tracking Magic Disk", that is, the strange thing that Renault obtained after pretending to be a devil and killing Earl Eriksson on the Starfish Island.

This strange object has a magical effect. As long as the blood of the target is obtained and dropped into the groove in the center of the magic disk, the user can sense the specific position of the opponent through the strange object, and the closer the distance, the induction will The more accurate.

At this time, Grum is no more than 200 meters away from the target. No matter what actions the other party makes, whether it is acceleration, deceleration, or snorkeling or diving, he cannot escape his induction.

This is simply a perfect match for hunting sea beasts.

As we all know, the biggest difficulty in dealing with sea beasts lies in the environment. If the opponent dives into the water, who can find it with the naked eye alone?

As long as the sea beasts cannot be killed quickly, the sea beasts can only be allowed to escape.

But with the tracking magic disk in hand, this problem is perfectly solved.

However, this is only limited to certain mammalian sea beasts, because this kind of sea beasts need to surface regularly to breathe.

Sea beasts like sea sharks that can breathe in the water, although tracking the magic disk can keep up with it, large spearguns can't use them.

Two minutes later, a huge shadow appeared under the sea in the distance. It was the large sea beast that Renault and others were chasing after.

Judging from the size of the shadow, this is a behemoth close to 40 meters in length, and a powerful sea beast that ordinary merchant ships can avoid.

But today, there is a group of people who dare to take it.

"It is decelerating... I feel the wave of magic energy, it is about to fight back... Hurry up and avoid it, full rudder left..." Grumm suddenly changed his expression and started to warn loudly.

The island guards who drove the hunting boat hurriedly hit the steering wheel, the boat passed a steep arc, set off a nearly 2 meter high wave on the sea, and drove quickly to the left.

Due to the rapid turn, the angle of inclination of the boat body is almost 20 degrees, if not everyone is wearing a seat belt, it will definitely be unlucky to be thrown into the sea.

Grum's warning was very timely. The boat had just completed its turn, and a sea surface more than 80 meters away suddenly bulged 5 or 6 meters high. In the blink of an eye, a wave of more than 20 meters wide was formed, and it quickly rolled towards the boat.

"Boom... boom..."

The waves move fast on the surface of the water like a giant wall, making a deafening sound, which is quite overwhelming.

Thanks to Grumm’s timely warning, the boat has already sailed more than 30 meters away. The waves swept through the foamy wake, and did not hit the boat at all, only the rolled up waves splashed on the boat.

The attack launched by the sea beast failed.

At this time, at the location where the waves originally appeared, a behemoth finally emerged from the sea.

"Wow..."

The water splashed into the sky, and the surface of the water was like a light rain, and a giant black and brown beast imprinted in everyone's eyes.

Its body is round and chubby, and its neck is almost invisible. Its head is large and round. It has a pair of round eyes distributed on both sides of the head. The diameter is close to 1 meter. There are a pair of small bends on the forehead. .

Of course, the so-called "small and exquisite" is just relative to the giant beast itself. For humans, the length of the bend is more than 2 meters, which is an out-and-out giant horn.

The forelimbs of the giant beast are oar-shaped, and they look very strange. The hind limbs are extremely short and curled up together, looking like a pair of fleshy **** from a distance, with a huge flat tail fin trailing on the tail.

It is worth noting that there are 6 or 7 large crossbow arrows inserted on the giant sea beast, and more than 60% of the length of the crossbow bolt has been submerged in its body, and red blood is constantly pouring out from the wound.

This is a crossbow arrow shot by a large magic speargun.

As soon as the giant beast appeared, it swung its tail fin high and slammed into the sea, seeming to vent its anger, and it seemed to be deterring the enemy.

"boom……"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the sea seemed to have exploded, and water splashed all over the sky, flying out nearly 80 meters at the farthest point, and splashed on the island guards on the boat.

Renault's expression changed slightly.

Obviously, the power of the behemoth is amazing.

If this "flick" falls on a thousand-ton sailboat, it will have an explosive effect, hammering a huge hole in the hull, and the sailboat will definitely be severely damaged.

What if it falls on the magic boat?

Even if the small boat is an all-metal ship that Renault personally picked up, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the blow of the giant beast, and it will inevitably be severely deformed.
