After all, the people of this world were tough, and the crew members had strong nerves. It did not take long for the new captain to stabilize the situation. However, the memory of Marionette killing dozens of people in an instant had not completely disappeared. The only people who dared to appear on the deck were the engineer and the new captain.
"I come from another world. I am a higher being that you cannot comprehend," Baiyi introduced himself with the help of Marionette. Baiyi briefly introduced himself with the help of the marionette. Then, he pointed at the charred corpses on the deck and said, "I was just curious about this place, but I was treated unkindly by you lot, so I decided to show you my power."
Neither of them dared to respond, much less say that Baiyi had killed the captain first. They just kept nodding and kneeling on the floor.
"Right now, I need to learn more about this world. Steer the ship to the nearest city," Baiyi ordered. "Find me the ship's logbook, as well as all the books on history and technology. Then, take me to the ship's propulsion system, which is what you call the heart of the ship."
According to the captain's memory, the most important part of a ship was the engine room. The heart of the ship, which allowed the ship to fly, was located there. He did not know how the heart of the ship worked, but he did know that it could not be produced. It could only be found in abandoned cities, or stolen from other ships. Perhaps the people who produced new ships in the cities would know more?
In any case, Baiyi wanted to take a look at the engine room. He also wanted to know if this world once had an advanced civilization.
A moment later, Marionette arrived at the engine room of the giant ship. There was a small interlude in the process. The new captain was a little stubborn, so he had arranged for some executioners to ambush him outside the engine room. When the Engineer Engineer came to the engine room with a large bookcase in his arms, he was shocked by the pile of mutilated bodies.
"From now on, you are the new captain. If anyone objects, bring them to me," Marionette said. She took the bookcase from the stunned Engineer Walker with her bloodied palm. "Do not disturb me until we reach the city," she said. Then, she entered the engine room alone and closed the door.
The Engineer Walker, who was still in a state of shock, scrambled to escape. Marionette, on the other hand, used her red eye to monitor the propulsion system of the ship's core. It was not some kind of science fiction technology. Instead, it was a gigantic magitek device that Marionette was familiar with.
The device was about five meters tall, and it looked a little like the conductors in some RPG games, except that it was much larger. It was shimmering with a mysterious light, and it looked completely different from the sleds and gunpowder guns outside.
"It's quite an exquisite design. I can tell at a glance! If I were to use my current technological prowess to create a propulsion system that would allow this giant ship to fly, it wouldn't be difficult, but it definitely wouldn't be as small as this, "the engineer exclaimed.
"The specific power system is different, and the rules are also different. Don't make random analogies." Baiyi replied calmly. He did not feel that it was all that amazing. In fact, he even felt a little disappointed. In fact, he was hoping that there would be an advanced technological civilization in this world. After all, the technology that the Voidwalkers currently possessed was not that advanced yet.
For the next two days, the new captain did not disturb Marionette. The Voidwalkers, on the other hand, studied the ship's core and various books and documents, and managed to deduce some information that was not in the captain's memory.
First of all, magic existed in this world, and its operating rules were not that different from Isythre's. There were many similarities, and basically, they could be considered as different branches of the same system. This situation was within Baiyi's expectations. After all, if the basic rules of the two worlds were too different, how could they open a portal?
Secondly, there was indeed a higher civilization in this world. Of course, it was only in comparison to their current level. In fact, based on the level of this magitek propulsion system, the understanding and application of this civilization was still far behind that of Isythre's.
Furthermore, there was no concept of sorcerers in this world. Baiyi could not find any words or concepts related to sorcerers in the various documents and the captain's memory. From this, he could roughly deduce that although magic existed in this world, the people here could not directly use magic. Instead, they used various magical devices to achieve the application of mana.
Therefore, the development of this world should have taken a completely different path from that of Isythre. Although they had some achievements and some ingenuity, the overall level of their civilization would not be higher than that of Isythre. If the two sides were to start a war, not to mention the current half-broken civilization, even the previous civilization would be forced to the ground and fight.
The current level of technology that they had developed was far behind that of the previous generation. For example, the arquebus-like weapon that was found on the body of the executioner was not based on chemical energy. It was still magitek technology, but it was cruder and clumsier. As a result, the power of the magic arquebus-like weapon was slightly weaker than the antiques on Earth.
It seemed that the people here were also trying to study past civilizations and develop their own technology, but their progress was too slow. According to the captain's memory and the historical documents, the BB bullet musket had appeared ten years ago. After so long, how could it still be the latest model with the best performance?
The same went for the sled. Because it was powered by the monkey version of the propulsion system that was invented by the later generations, it was so weak. It was already impressive that it could carry two knights in the air, but it was difficult to use it to tow a three-ton marionette.
In short, this was a more backward world. Of course, all of these were inferences made before they had any more information. Who knew, maybe there would be more surprises in the city?
Before that, however, the newly appointed captain knocked on the cabin door.
"What is it? Have we arrived? "The marionette's cold and heavy voice came from behind the door.
"N-not yet … I'm sorry, sir. There's been an accident …" The captain replied with a trembling voice.
After opening the cabin door and asking around, Baiyi found out that the ship had been attacked by hostile forces. When he followed the captain to the deck, he just happened to see dozens of airships attacking the deck. The hostile knights on the airships were firing at the crew on the deck with their muskets and crossbow bolts, while the crew fought back with all their might. Both sides fought back and forth, and the scene was very tense for a moment.
However, after fighting for half a day, there were only a few casualties. After all, the weapons of both sides were too outdated. It was inevitable that a bloody battle that was supposed to be cruel would seem like a child's play.
Although it was a little primitive, this kind of battle, which mainly relied on small aircrafts, was somewhat similar to the naval battles on Earth during World War II.
Further away, there were three other airships of the same model, flying white flags as they charged towards the ship. That's right, white flags. In this world, this was a flag that meant that one side would not rest until the other side was dead.
"Our Merry is a little too old. It's not as fast as their ship, and because of you, our knights …" The captain hid behind the cabin door and carefully explained the situation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a crossbow bolt pierced the door frame beside him. It turned out that the enemy had also noticed the huge and eye-catching target that was the marionette. Some of the bolder knights had even driven their airships closer, waved their lassos, and accurately caught the marionette's huge body.
"I've got it! Pull it! "The knight on the airship shouted excitedly, patting his partner's shoulder.
"Ants trying to shake a tree …" The marionette said coldly. She casually grabbed the lassos and swung them a few times. The tremendous force immediately disintegrated the airship in the air, and the two knights screamed in pain as they fell out of the airship.
"Hahaha! Did you say that installing the multicolored cannons was unnecessary?" The engineer said excitedly. He opened the aiming interface again and began to lock onto the flying flies that were flying in the sky.
After a burst of colorful light dissipated, the dozens of airships that had been showing off their power were hit at the same time. They were turned into burning fireballs, leaving puffs of black smoke behind them as they fell to the ground.
The crew members looked at the horrifying monster in horror, and then they looked up at the quiet sky and gulped.
The new captain was the first to react. He quickly knelt down, and the others followed suit and knelt on the deck.
It was a kind of fear and reverence for great power. It was a kind of biological instinct.
At the same time, the captain of the enemy's airship took off his binoculars, rubbed his eyes hard, and put them back on. After carefully looking at the situation, he looked at the chief officer next to him blankly and asked, "Our knights are all gone?"
"No … the ones that attacked the airship are all gone …" the chief officer replied in a daze.
"Does anyone know what happened? All I saw was a beautiful light, and then all of us were gone? "The captain continued to ask.
No one could answer his question, because almost everyone was in a daze. Then, someone shouted, "The enemy is coming!"
The old "Merry" on the opposite side actually turned the bow at this time and rushed to this side?
"Their knights are all dead, right? Are they planning to fight us head-on? " The captain's brain had not yet recovered from the shock, and he was still subconsciously making a judgment. He had three airships on his side, and they had the absolute advantage in numbers!
