Chapter 216 Pirates
"The weapons are: one 130mm main gun with 500 rounds of ammunition, three small drones, two armed patrol boats, seven lifeboats, and a small number of other self-defense weapons."
"The loading module adopts a large suction automatic loading system, with a loading capacity of kg per minute."
"In addition, this ship has crew cabins that can accommodate up to 8,000 people."
"There is also a machining workshop and a seawater desalination plant on board."
"......"
Wu Yong reported in detail.
"Huh, there are also small drones and patrol boats?"
Ning Quan asked in surprise.
“Yes, sir, but our drones are reconnaissance type and do not have combat capabilities.”
"The armed patrol boat is equipped with a 27mm cannon and can strike threatening targets."
Wu Yong explained.
"The patrol boat is also equipped with a 27mm cannon?"
"How many rounds are there?"
Ning Quan was surprised when he heard this.
"Master, each machine gun is equipped with 3000 rounds of ammunition."
"Fuck, 3000 rounds of ammunition?"
“So many?”
Ning Quan said happily.
"You just said there are self-defense weapons. What weapons are they?" Ning Quan asked immediately.
"Master, the self-defense weapons include 12.7 pistols, 6 automatic rifles, bazookas, and mm machine guns."
"Among them, there are 50 rounds of ammunition for each bazooka, 50 rounds of ammunition for each pistol, 300 rounds of ammunition for each rifle, and 12.7 rounds of ammunition for each 3000mm machine gun."
The more Ning Quan listened, the wider his eyes opened, and he was deeply shocked.
So many weapons and ammunition?
It's simply an invincible rhythm.
"Master, according to system rules, all weapons on board cannot leave the ship's range, except for drones and lifeboats."
Wu Yong continued.
"what?"
"Can't leave the ship's range?"
“Why is there such a rule?”
Wu Yong's words instantly poured cold water on Ning Quan, and he asked hurriedly.
Just when I was thinking of becoming invincible, it turned out to be a bubble.
He couldn't leave the ship, which meant he couldn't take those weapons away!
This is such a rip off.
"Master, what you have is a transport ship, not a warship. The weapons on board are only for self-defense."
Wu Yong explained.
"Oh I see."
"This must be another restriction imposed by the system on me."
Ning Quan nodded suddenly.
The system has been restricting him for more than a day or two, changing the lottery deadline and modifying the number of space collection times, all in order to restrict him.
It cannot be said that the system is wrong to do this. After all, nothing should be excessive.
Otherwise, what will happen?
If he were given an armored brigade, wouldn't he be able to conquer the world easily?
One should not be too unsatisfied. It is a great profit to get this ship.
After figuring out the problem, Ning Quan comforted himself.
"Master, seven pirate ships have been spotted ahead. Please prepare for battle."
At this moment, a crew member suddenly shouted.
"What? A pirate ship?"
"Hahaha, you're just in time. It's a good opportunity to test our firepower."
Ning Quan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Captain Wu, can our patrol boats deal with the pirate ship?"
"Master, as long as it's not a large pirate ship, our patrol boats can deal with it." Wu Yong affirmed.
"Okay, then let's go out immediately. It's a good opportunity for me to see it for myself." Ning Quan said happily.
"Yes, Master."
Wu Yong said respectfully and then gave the order.
A moment later, the side hatch of the ship slowly opened and a crane lifted the two patrol boats into the sea.
These two patrol boats are twenty meters long, about five or six meters wide, and can carry seven people.
A 27mm machine gun is installed on the bow and is operated by two crew members.
The remaining one was responsible for driving, and the four were equipped with automatic rifles and two rocket launchers.
"boom!"
With the roar of the engine, the patrol boat quickly headed towards the pirate ship ahead.
Ning Quan stood in front of the hanging window, looking at the patrol boat excitedly.
It’s exciting to think about a patrol boat attacking a pirate ship.
"Boss, look, there are two ships coming towards us."
"Boss, what kind of strange ship is this? How can it be so fast?"
"And that big ship in front, how could there be such a big ship?"
At this time, the pirates also noticed the patrol boat, and several pirates shouted.
"Whatever it is!"
"Brothers, load the guns. Let's take out these two small boats first."
The pirate leader roared.
The pirate leader was named Dai, a Persian.
He was at least 1.9 meters tall, with dark skin and a strong body, looking like an iron tower.
Dai was one of the famous pirates in this area and was extremely cruel.
"Yes!"
The pirates responded loudly and then got busy.
Dai's pirate fleet consisted of seven pirate ships, equipped with more than one hundred cannons in total.
Among them were eighty six-pound guns, twenty 12-pound guns, and seven 20-pound guns.
The so-called pound refers to the caliber. The six-pound gun has a caliber of 64 mm, the 12-pound gun has a caliber of 76 mm, and the 20-pound gun has a caliber of 95 mm.
It looks like the caliber is quite large and the number is quite scary.
But the artillery of this era cannot be compared with modern ones.
Cannons are all made of iron, and so are the shells.
To put it simply, a so-called artillery shell is either an iron ball or an iron ball filled with explosives, and its power is extremely limited.
And the shooting distance is not far, no more than two thousand meters at most.
The key is the lack of accuracy, especially at sea, pirates can only rely on experience to shoot.
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
Soon, the cannons on the pirate ships opened fire.
But in the first round of salvos, all the shells missed by several hundred meters.
"Damn it!"
“Again!”
"Aim and shoot!"
Dai Yi saw this and said angrily.
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"
Another volley was fired, but again it missed.
"Come again!"
Dey gave the order again.
The pirates quickly reloaded and prepared to continue firing.
But just then, the patrol boat opened fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The 27mm machine gun spewed out flames and shells poured down like raindrops.
In an instant, dense shells fell on the pirate ship
"what!"
“My legs!”
"Help, help."
......
The pirates screamed in agony and fell to the ground one after another as they were riddled with bullets.
In just a few minutes, the pirates were beaten without any chance of fighting back.
"Boss, this, this..."
The men were so frightened by the bloody scene that they trembled all over.
"Damn it!"
“Retreat quickly!”
Dai was also dumbfounded. He did not expect the enemy's firepower to be so strong, and quickly gave the order to retreat.
But it’s not that easy to run away.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The patrol boat opened fire again, and dense shells poured down.
"Boss, we..."
Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was hit by a shell and his body was shattered.
Looking at the situation before them, all the pirates became scared.
They had never seen such horrific artillery fire.
The key is that they can't escape now because the enemy ships are obviously faster than the pirate ships.
