Gulum was sitting on the back seat of magic boat, firmly fixed by two safety belts. He was holding a black crystal disc the size of a palm in his hand. His eyes were staring at the disc, and his mouth kept shouting:
"it''s changing direction again, 30 degrees to the front left, hurry up to catch up..."
An island guard who controls the steering wheel turns the steering wheel quickly with both hands. The boat paddles an obvious arc on the water, throws up a large spray and drives to the left.
"It''s accelerating, shifting into third gear, full speed ahead..."
Another member of the island guard quickly stretched out his right hand and stuck it on the rune board on the surface of the gearbox. With a few slight "clicks", Gollum immediately felt the thrust from the seat back.
The sound of the three blade propeller stirring the sea water is more and more obvious. The speed of magic boat increases a lot, and even the white wake behind the boat widens by nearly 30%.
Shortly after the boat passed, strands of light red liquid floated out of the water, floated and sank in the waves, and gradually spread out, forming a striking red water belt.
It''s blood!
Renault stood quietly in front of a large magic fish gun on the left side of the boat, holding the body of the gun in both hands, scanning the sea with his eyes, searching for any possible abnormality.
Three large magic fish guns were installed in other positions of the boat, which were operated by muse and two other island guards.
Compared with the small magic fish gun operated by a single person, the design principle of the large magic fish gun is completely the same. It also uses high-pressure air, Rune group and high-strength spring as the power.
But in the specific structure, the difference between the two is very big.
First of all, the length of the small fish gun is only 2.5 meters, while the length of the large fish gun is 4 meters. It''s a bit too modest to use "gun" to describe such a size. Maybe "fish gun" is a more accurate way to name it.
But Renault, a paranoid, insists that it can''t explode. How can it be called a "gun"?
The second is "ammunition". Small fish guns use all metal catapults, which are nearly 2 meters long and can only shoot one catapult at a time.
But the big fish gun is different. It can shoot three crossbows at a time. The length of the crossbow is amazing 5 meters, and the weight is more than 30 kg. It can be called the lethal weapon among the lethal weapons.
Thirdly, the difference in size and quantity of "ammunition" also leads to great differences in structure.
Because the large fish gun can load three crossbows at the same time, the structure of the gun body is much more complex, which puts forward higher requirements for power.
The magicians had to redesign the whole system. Rune Group [linear acceleration] had higher power, higher pressure of high-pressure air, better material and more springs.
This series of changes has made the total weight of the large fish gun exceed 250 kg. Even a strong man can barely hold it up and want to walk or run with it. There is no door.
The best way is to install a large fish gun on the ship, so that where the ship goes, the large fish gun can move.
In addition, although the large fish gun is large and heavy, it is not bulky at all.
The magic boat is specially welded with four bases, which are installed with large "high-precision bearings" made by Renault. It can rotate freely just by clamping the large fish gun in the base, and the bearing will reduce the block to a very low degree, so the operation is quite flexible.
Renault ordered the research and development of large-scale fish guns for the purpose of dealing with large-scale marine animals. This magic boat equipped with four large-scale fish guns is the first hunting boat transformed by the tide collar.
On the earth, the European white skinners drove special whaling boats and used large whaling forks to kill countless whales in hundreds of years. In the United States in the 19th century, more than half of the fishing boats were used for whaling.
We can imagine how much resources humans get from whales.
The ocean is so rich that the number of large sea animals is far more than that of the earth, and the resources available are dozens or even hundreds of times more than that of the earth. How can Renault want to miss it?
if you kill a 30 meter long large sea animal, how many tons of meat can you get? How many barrels of oil can be boiled out? How many people can we support?
What''s more exciting is that large sea animals have a great chance to produce magic power crystal, which is an extremely important strategic material. For this reason alone, Renault can''t let go of large sea animals.
In the future, Renault will set up a fleet to hunt and kill sea animals, and at least make up its mind to develop a fleet of sea animals.
Just imagine, if you kill 10000 large sea animals every year, according to 20% of the magic crystal production rate, it will be 2000 magic crystals, which is absolutely a huge wealth.
Renault felt his heart beat faster just for a moment.
Kill!
It''s necessary to kill. A fool won''t!
Don''t be silly, as to whether the large sea animals will be extinct. You don''t have to consider this problem in 100 years.In such a vast ocean, more than 50000 large sea animals die every year for various reasons, and the 10000 planned by Renault is only a small part.
Moreover, even after years of hunting, the number of sea animals has decreased by 50% or more, which is a good thing.
Because it means that the navigation channels in the major sea areas will become safer.
Don''t forget, the large sea animals in the alien world are not gentle and harmless creatures. On the contrary, they are extremely dangerous. When the alien humans see them, they will only walk around.
It''s not like the whales on earth. They don''t hinder us at all.

"it''s floating, please be ready..."
Gulum, staring at the crystal disc, began to scream excitedly again. Renault stepped forward, leaned close to the big fish gun, put his right finger on the trigger, and was ready to shoot at any time. The three muses also made the same action.
The crystal disc that Gollum was holding was exactly the "tracking magic disc", which was the strange thing that Renault got when he pretended to be a devil to kill count Eriksson on starfish island.
This strange object has a magical effect. As long as the target''s blood is obtained and dropped into the groove in the center of the magic disk, the user can sense the specific orientation of the other party through the strange object, and the closer the distance is, the more accurate the sensing will be.
At this time, Gollum''s distance from the target is no more than 200 meters. No matter what actions the opponent makes, whether it''s acceleration, deceleration, or floating and diving, he can''t escape his reaction.
This is a perfect match for hunting sea animals.
As we all know, the biggest difficulty in dealing with sea animals lies in the environment. If the other side dives into the water, who can find it with the naked eye?
As long as we can''t kill the sea animals quickly, we can only let them escape.
But with the tracking magic disk in hand, this problem has been solved perfectly.
However, this is limited to certain mammal species, which need to surface regularly to breathe.
Sea animals like sea sharks, which can breathe in the water, can''t catch up with them even with large fish guns, even though they can follow the magic disk.
Two minutes later, a huge shadow appeared under the sea in the distance, which was the large sea beast pursued by Renault and others.
Judging from the size of the shadow, this is a giant beast with a length of nearly 40 meters, which is also a powerful sea beast that ordinary merchant ships can''t avoid.
Today, however, a group of people dare to operate on it.
"It''s slowing down I feel the wave of magic power, it''s going to fight back Get out of the way, left full rudder... " Gulum''s face suddenly changed and he began to give a warning.
The island guard driving the hunting boat drove the steering wheel wildly. The boat rowed a steep arc, raised nearly 2m high waves on the sea, and quickly drove to the left.
As the turning is too fast, the inclination angle of the boat body is almost 20 degrees. If everyone does not fasten their seat belts, they will be thrown into the sea.
Gollum''s early warning was very timely. The boat had just completed its turn when a sea surface more than 80 meters away suddenly swelled 5 or 6 meters high. In the blink of an eye, a wave more than 20 meters wide formed and rolled rapidly towards the boat.
"Boom Boom... "
Like a huge wall, the waves are moving rapidly on the water surface, making a deafening sound, which is quite overwhelming.
benefited from the timely warning of gurum, the boat had already sailed more than 30 meters away, and the waves swept through the frothy wakes, without touching the boat. Only the rolled spray splashed down on the boat.
The blow launched by the sea beast failed.
At this time, in the original location of the waves, a huge object finally surfaced.
"Wow..."
The water rose in the sky, and the water was like a light rain. A dark brown beast was printed into everyone''s eyes.
Its body is round and plump. It can hardly see its neck. Its head is big and round. A pair of round eyes are distributed on both sides of its head, with a diameter of nearly 1 meter. There are also a pair of small corners on its forehead.
Of course, the so-called "small" is only relative to the giant beast itself. For human beings, the length of the corner is more than 2 meters, which is truly a giant angle.
The giant''s forelimbs are paddle shaped, which is quite strange. Its hind legs are very short and curled together. It looks like a pair of Meatballs from a distance, with a huge flat caudal fin trailing behind.
It is worth noting that there are more than 20 large catapults on the giant sea beast''s body, and more than 60% of the length of the catapult has penetrated into its body, and red blood constantly gushes out from the wound.
This is a crossbow from a big magic fish gun.
As soon as the giant beast appeared, he swung his tail fin high and hit the sea. It seemed that he was venting his anger and deterring the enemy.
"Boom..."
With a loud noise, the sea was like an explosion, and the water was flying all over the sky. The farthest distance was nearly 80 meters, and it fell on the island guards on the boat.Renault''s face changed slightly.
Obviously, the power of the beast is amazing.
If this "tail flick" falls on a 1000 ton sailboat, it will have an explosive effect, hammer a huge hole in the hull, and the sailboat will be seriously damaged.
What if it falls on the magic boat?
Even if the small boat is Renault''s all metal ship, I''m afraid it will not be able to withstand the blow of the beast, and it will be seriously deformed.
