Chapter 1509 Raiders Under the Sea (2)
Due to the entanglement of the lizardmen soldiers before, the cruiser fleet ran a little farther, and under the sea, the sailfish people chased all the way, trying to launch another attack to further speed up the sinking of the cruiser.
For this situation, the captain of the cruiser fleet should have expected something, and in the sound of the whistle, a strange device installed at the rear of the cruiser quietly opened.
Immediately afterwards, with the muffled sound of a surging ocean current, one after another, special elliptical objects were thrown out.
At that moment, the sailfish people, whose speed had gradually increased, didn't have time to do any more action. They were moving at high speed in the ocean current, and at the moment they came into contact with the objects dropped from the cruiser, a shocking sound was heard. The explosion completely swept them into the frantically surging ocean current, and the huge waves splashed directly to the entire sea!
However, this is just the beginning, soon, the second, the third, the fourth! Continuous explosions raged frantically under the sea.
Even the lizardmen soldiers who had fled early could clearly feel the impact of the explosion, carrying the ocean currents, and after that, heart palpitations appeared on their faces.
They did know that their warships of Wanjie Civilization were equipped with a new weapon called 'depth charge', but they did not expect the explosive power of this new weapon to be so strong.
However, how did they know that although the original depth charge was used as an anti-submarine weapon, its destructive power was not so amazing.
However, after Bart Wildhammer received the blueprints, combined with Luo Ji's request, and learned that this depth bomb was to be used against those deep-sea beasts, he was suddenly inspired, and he was stunned to develop it. An improved and enhanced version came out.
While increasing the attack depth of depth charges, it also greatly increases the explosive power of depth charges.
At the same time, the triggering mechanism of the depth charge has also been further improved, becoming a dual mechanism.
The first mechanism, like conventional depth charges, explodes after reaching a certain depth after being launched.
The second mechanism is a triggered explosion.
How did Bart Wildhammer do it? Anyway, Luo Ji didn't quite understand it. At the same time, he was not that kind of material. However, the dwarves' super talent in developing hot weapons has to be admitted. Although The cost has also skyrocketed...
But in any case, after the successful development of depth charges, Luo Ji naturally hurriedly started mass production at the arsenal, and installed special bombs on his cruisers of the South China Sea Fleet and the Yangtze River Fleet.
After all, since the outer waters are already known, the murloc army on Europa's side has already begun to do whatever they want, then on his side, even if it is out of the mentality of taking precautions before it happens, it should be prepared early.
However, even Luo Ji himself did not expect that the hand of this army of murlocs would reach out to him so quickly.
In addition, due to the efficiency of message transmission, he also did not know that as early as a week ago, the foreign coalition fleet located in the outer waters of the South China Sea was one step ahead of him and was patronized by the murloc troops.
After Shalier's strategic-level Judgment Day round that year, this wave of losses is estimated to give several foreign players a stomachache for a long time.
As for Luo Ji, it was only now that he obtained this piece of news about the outer seas of the South China Sea through the channel of the Elf Druid.
As for the fact that his South China Sea cruiser fleet was also attacked by murlocs, it took him another two days to receive the news.
This situation undoubtedly surprised Luo Ji, and quickly sent five reconnaissance airships to the sea for intelligence reconnaissance work from the Imperial District.
Here, it must be mentioned that this reconnaissance airship, referred to as the reconnaissance airship, is a functional version of his Wanjie Civilization after completing the manufacture of the goblin airship, reducing the cost and size.
Even if it is calculated according to the size of the main airbag, it only looks like 20 meters. At the same time, whether there are any weapons and aviation bombs on it, there is only a simple radio communication equipment and radar detection device, as well as some corresponding instruments, thing.
Just like its name, it is not for combat, but for reconnaissance and is a typical auxiliary unit.
Different from those planes that have to land obediently after flying in a circle, with enough fuel and supplies, after testing, this reconnaissance airship can fly in the air for half a month without landing.
The relatively slow flight speed, coupled with their super airborne ability, make them an excellent aerial reconnaissance unit.
Even to a certain extent, the reconnaissance ability of the reconnaissance airship is stronger than that of the Elf Druid. After all, the Elf Druid can't fly around the world with cumbersome radio communication equipment, and it is even more impossible to fly continuously for the upper half. month without landing.
However, Elf Druids also have the benefits of Elf Druids. They are more flexible in the incarnation of giant eagles. At the same time, they can also use the cover of the transformation of the eagle spirit to make further observations.
In this way, Luo Ji combined them quite simply.
Each reconnaissance airship, in addition to the standard goblin airship pilot and a series of necessary airship staff, also has an additional elf druid for them, so that they can cope with various situations.
The issuance of the order on this side made the five reconnaissance airships located in the imperial area quickly dispatched.
The field of vision in the air was extremely wide. Just one reconnaissance airship had a huge daily reconnaissance range. The five airships dispatched at the same time gave Luo Ji an aerial view of the entire outer waters of the South China Sea.
The most important thing is that they can send the information back at the fastest speed directly through the radio communication device.
At the same time, in order to be cautious, he also sent reconnaissance airships one after another in the other sea areas around the central continent, and began to carry out long-term reconnaissance missions.
This kind of approach will definitely cost a lot more, but now is not the time to save that little bit of money. Anyway, the latest World Cup of his Wanjie Civilization has already begun to make a profit, and it will continue according to the current momentum. , In the next few quarters, and even in the next few years, the financial situation of his Myriad Realms Civilization will be relatively abundant.
In this way, after finishing all the arrangements, Luo Ji turned his attention back to the report sent by the South China Sea Fortress in front of him...
