Super Doctor of the Universe

"How long until we get to Port Royal!" Looking at the blue sky, Lord Beckett asked the people around him.

"There are still twenty nautical miles to reach Port Royal. We will probably arrive at noon when the tide is highest!" Arnold, the captain of the Endeavor, quickly took out his pocket watch and counted the water patterns before answering.

"If His Majesty the King knew that the mighty Port Royal was actually occupied by a pirate, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep well!" Beckett had a proud smile on his face.

He came to the Caribbean to expand the British sphere of influence on the orders of King George II. Before coming to America, he was still thinking about what excuse he should use to seize Port Royal, but now he encountered a golden opportunity.

Weatherby Swann actually let Port Royal be occupied by a pirate, and I heard that his daughter even became the pirate's.

In this way, no matter how the other party makes excuses or what kind of connections he has in London, he can directly order someone to hang him.

After the Age of Discovery began, as a late-comer power, the British developed silently, defeating the Dutch, the French and their most powerful enemy, the Spanish, and now have become the number one maritime power in Europe.

It is just because Britain is now so powerful that it has caused dissatisfaction in other European countries.

George II felt that he could not continue to stimulate other countries at this time, lest he be attacked by a group, so he decided to send a fleet to the Caribbean to expand colonies and search for wealth.

There is obviously no problem with this decision of the British. It was only after this that the United Kingdom was able to continue to develop rapidly, transforming its current strength into more benefits, and transformed from an island country into an empire on which the sun never sets.

Lord Beckett, who was dining on the deck, was in a very good mood. As for the pirates who occupied Port Royal, according to his thinking, most of them had already fled without waiting for him to arrive.

Since the other party knew that he was leading such an unstoppable army, the best choice was to immediately pack up the wealth in Port Royal and escape by boat.

In this way, they can recapture Port Royal without a single blow. As for the future, unless they can go directly to the heart of America and become savages, sooner or later they will fall into their hands.

But he never expected that when approaching Port Royal, he received unexpected news from his subordinates. The other party did not follow his script:

"The patrol ship just reported that Port Royal is currently under martial law, and it is said that the pirate is preparing to fight tooth and nail!"

"Those people didn't escape?" Beckett raised his eyebrows, stood up, and took the binoculars from the captain next to him.

Now they were less than ten nautical miles away from Port Royal, and they could already see the top of the port in the distance. Beckett observed it with a telescope and found that the port was well-fortified, and the strange-looking coastal defense guns were just on the turret.

The opponent's cannons were of a style he had never seen before, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, in terms of strength, he should have an absolute advantage.

Port Royal could not hold up more than a hundred artillery pieces, but he brought 16,000 soldiers, plus fifty warships. Each warship had at least forty or fifty artillery pieces, and the total number of artillery pieces exceeded two thousand, all at once. Thousands of artillery can be invested!

"Pass my order, all ships line up in a row, and open fire freely when they reach the firing range!" Beckett directly ordered: "Since those guys are determined to seek death, then destroy them here!"

"Yes, sir!" After receiving the order, Captain Arnold immediately ordered his sailors to start signaling. Soon all the warships were sent out in a line, and thousands of artillery were pushed out.

The British's goal this time is to rule the entire Caribbean, so let these guys who overestimate their capabilities be their first sacrifices after arriving in the Caribbean!

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion suddenly sounded, and water waves soared into the sky. The huge impact even shook the battleship Endeavour. The people on the deck were caught off guard, and many fell down. On the ground.

"What happened?" Lord Beckett stood up quickly after falling down and asked directly without caring about anything else.

"Lord, the battleship next to you!" Captain Arnold looked at the side in shock.

"What happened to the battleship next to it?" Lord Beckett was stunned for a moment and followed Captain Arnold's gaze. He saw that the battleship next to him had been turned into large and small fragments, and incomplete bodies could be seen on the sea. , as for the original living crew members on the battleship, basically they can no longer be seen.

"Where did the attack come from?" Lord Beckett asked quickly.

"I don't know, there are no ships within the range." Captain Arnold said.

With the current range of cannons, three nautical miles is close to the limit. As for Port Royal, which is ten nautical miles away, they really have not thought about it at this time. After all, this really subverts their common sense.

The number of survivors was not large, it could even be said to be very few. The new coastal defense guns were too powerful. Many crew members and soldiers on the ship were killed by the shock after the explosion.

"This!" Governor Swann, who was observing the situation with a telescope on the shore, was stunned. His hand slipped, and the telescope worth hundreds of pounds fell to the ground with a clatter, and the lens shattered.

"What happened?" Elizabeth Swann asked quickly.

"How is that possible!" Governor Swan was still doubting life.

For people these days, battleships are definitely a killer weapon at sea. Even a third-level battleship is more than 40 meters long, has a displacement of more than a thousand tons, and is equipped with dozens of artillery. It is almost rare on the sea except for natural disasters. Encounter an enemy.

The upper and lower layers of oak boards, which are fifteen centimeters thick, can withstand all physical attacks. Even if it is hit by artillery, with the current power of solid bullets, it would take at least a dozen cannons to sink a battleship.

Considering the impressive hit rate of current artillery, it can be said that it is basically an impossible task to sink a battleship in a naval battle.

But now, that first-class battleship couldn't resist even one shot, and the hit rate was too high. It was just a test shot and it hit directly. Is this a blind cat encountering a dead mouse?

who I am? where am I? What am I doing?

Governor Swan asked the three soul questions, and then he understood why before the war started, Link seemed to have no intention of watching the battle. Using modern cannons to bully the ancients of the 18th century was nothing like adults bullying kindergarten children. the difference.

Wooden warships have no defense at all. No matter how thick the wooden boards are, they cannot block the power of modern artillery shells. Even in terms of caliber, this is far from a heavy artillery.

After being surprised, the soldiers on the port shore immediately let out a huge cheer, and now their faces were full of excitement.

"What is going on?" Lord Carlert Beckett could no longer maintain his so-called aristocratic calmness at this moment, grabbed Captain Arnold's collar, and asked loudly.

"I guess it may be a new type of artillery newly developed by the enemy?" Captain Arnold could only say this guess which was not very reliable in his mind.

He has never encountered such a strange incident. He is still so far away from the maximum range of the artillery, but the opponent's cannon can attack his own side!

Not to mention the terrifying power of the opponent's artillery, which makes people feel terrified. A first-class battleship that is the same as the flagship he is riding on immediately turns into a pile of broken wood floating on the sea with just one blow!

Captain Arnold had never imagined such a range and power. If this was really caused by the opponent's cannon, if he and his team attacked the opponent, they would simply die!

"Damn it!" Lord Beckett opened Captain Arnold's collar, knowing that asking him would have no effect, and quickly forced himself to calm down.

But very quickly, before he could figure out whether to continue the attack or retreat, successive bombardments fell on the fleet.

"Boom boom boom!!!" Just now it was just a test fire, and the next was just three rounds of salvos. The fleet that was still showing off its power on the sea just now has completely turned into a wreckage on the sea, along with Lord Beckett's distress. They were taken away together in a wave.
