Chapter 29: In the inevitable war Even though they searched every house on the seaside with torches, they could not find any foreigners to slaughter and plunder.
After discovering that they had failed, these black robbers who were eager to try were greatly depressed and deeply confused for a while.
Not knowing what to do next, some of them began to check the grain, dried fish and dried vegetables piled in the house, and prepared to bring some food back.
They couldn't just run away in vain.
Others waved their swords angrily and chopped down the walls of these houses as if to vent their anger.
Then they were shocked even more.
At first, they thought that the seemingly thin "mushroom houses" were all wooden boards.
Unexpectedly, they slashed at the house with a knife, but the bone dagger in their hands was shaken to the point of cracking and curling, as if they had chopped a stone.
Because the weapons were damaged, some people cursed and tried to set fire, but even if they burned torches on these walls, there was no reaction at all.
When these curious black people held torches and came closer to take a closer look, they couldn't help but take a breath: these light and colorful "mushroom huts" were all made of some kind of extremely thin material.
Made of metal plates For God's sake, what was the concept of using metal to build a house in ancient society before the industrial revolution?
Before the Industrial Revolution, due to technological limitations, metal production in the world was pitifully low, both in the East and in the West.
For example, during the Northern Song Dynasty, China's annual steel production was about 50,000 tons, which was already known as the first in the world.
It is said that it was close to the total steel production of other civilized countries in the world.
But in later generations, it would not even be enough to build a giant oil tanker.
By the beginning of the 21st century, China's annual steel production exceeded 700 million tons, still the first in the world.
Compared with the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, production has increased 14,000 times.
Even in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, many farmers were still too poor to afford a kitchen knife.
Even the bit of iron on a hoe was a huge fortune for them.
Pig iron bars in many remote places can be used as currency and are very popular.
This is still the situation after entering the Iron Age.
Today, the iron smelting technology has not spread on a large scale from the Hittite Empire.
Most civilized countries in the world are still in the Bronze Age in the 14th century BC.
Due to the copper mines on the earth, Far rarer than iron ore, the amount of metal in human hands is even rarer.
In the current "Four Ancient Civilizations" areas, even the armies of the richest civilized countries can hardly issue a bronze weapon to each soldier, and the surrounding poor and backward tribes can only use it pitifully.
Stone spears and bone knives come to fight Now, about one-third of the black bandits who are attacking Cyrenaica are holding bronze swords and battle axes.
Their leader also has a Hittite iron sword that he got by chance in this desert.
It can already be called luxury equipment.
Even if you start a fight with the regular armies of Egypt and Minoa, you don't have to feel guilty.
Many of Egypt's second-rate soldiers can only fight with stone spears.
That makes them quite proud.
Who would have thought that when I got here, I saw that there were so many people out there that I was so irritated.
I couldn't even use enough metal to forge weapons, but here they were actually using it to build houses.
In short, in the eyes of these poor black people, this kind of iron mushroom house, which in later generations can only be placed in a children's park as a landscape to withstand the sun, rain, peeling paint and rust, is simply like a golden palace in the eyes of modern people.
Marble villas and Egyptian pyramids are a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more luxurious.
What's more, the metal houses that appear on this beach are not just one or two, but dozens or hundreds.
In addition, the several steel hoes and shovels found in these mushroom houses also made every black bandit marvel.
In this era, using steel that is "more expensive than gold" to make farm tools is, in ordinary people's eyes, It can no longer be described as luxurious, but as pure waste and fighting for wealth.
You know, even the Egyptian farmers on the banks of the Nile are still plowing the land with wooden plows and harvesting with stone sickles.
In short, the above-mentioned discoveries in this settlement not only made these dark-skinned bandits more greedy, but also made them involuntarily feel a little afraid.
They had this wealth, but they threw it away carelessly. guys, what kind of group of people would they be?
However, now they can't find anyone to answer this question.
The houses and fields shrouded in darkness were all deserted, and the docks on the seaside were also empty.
The merchant ships from Crete had long since left, and the whining wind whistled in the ears, making people feel like they were in a ghost town.
Surrounded by wandering ghosts Only above their heads, behind the empty village, on the steep cliff dotted with Mediterranean juniper trees and shrubs, was a towering highland lighthouse, emitting bright light, which finally dispelled the darkness a little.

Deep and terrifying.
Looking up at the staggeringly bright lighthouse on the mountain, the black leader frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled out the dagger at his waist, pointed at the lighthouse on the top of the mountain, and issued an order to his subordinates: "Go up and take a look at that lighthouse."
There may be someone inside” What the black leader didn't know was that it was precisely because of this order that they lost their last chance to escape intact.
Although the cliff with the lighthouse behind the port of Cyrenaica looks very steep from a distance, even if you climb it in the dark, it is not difficult at all because the people who built it carved a straight staircase into the mountain. , leading from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
And tonight is the full moon.
The bright moonlight combined with the light of the lighthouse itself makes every step shine brightly, and there is no danger of stepping on the air and falling.
But the problem is that this group of black robbers armed with murderous weapons only had time to climb halfway up the mountain when they suddenly heard an earth-shattering bang from behind and even the earth seemed to be shaking.
Immediately, some people were so frightened that their legs weakened, one foot fell in the air, and they rolled down the stairs.
The remaining people looked back in fear, and saw a burning mushroom cloud rising from the desert in the distance. , like a blooming flame flower, instantly lighting up the night sky, and there are also balls of flames flying everywhere, trailing burning trails and falling from the sky like fire rain.
"Great God, what happened is so terrible" Faced with this fiery scene that completely exceeded common sense, many black soldiers were so frightened that they fell to their knees and prayed to the gods of their respective beliefs.
In fact, the explosion was entirely the work of their own people.
When the black leader led most of his soldiers and rushed towards the "mushroom house" on the seaside, the minions who stayed behind in the oil field, Also in the concrete building of the oil refinery, holding a torch and digging around They were looking for it in an attempt to collect some loot.
As a result, these guys somehow caused an oil well fire and turned the oil storage tank filled with oil into a huge torch.
From a distance, it looked like it had been shaken hard and then burned.
Like a soda pop or champagne that was opened, the whole thing spurted out.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of liters of oil were thrown into the air tens of meters, forming a spectacular fountain of flames.
Then, like an incendiary bomb, it splashed down to several unlucky black people who were surrounded by a large amount of burning oil.
His head was poured all over him, and after letting out a scream, he could no longer make a sound.
After struggling for a few times, it became a piece of barbecue with the smell of burnt and petroleum.
The few remaining uninjured black men were frightened out of their wits by the terrifying flames.
They ran away almost as a reflex, as if they saw the end of the world coming.
At this time, the main force of the black bandit group on the mountain road finally leaked its whereabouts: it was obvious that in such an earth-shattering explosion, even the dead would be frightened to jump up and look like they were parked on the stone steps halfway up the mountain.
While the black people were still looking blankly at the pillars of fire rising into the sky in the distance and muttering to themselves and praying to the gods, a fat man in strange clothes suddenly ran out from the lighthouse on the top of the mountain.
It seemed that the fat man was probably alarmed by the fire and explosions in the distance, so he ran out to see what was going on.
Then, the guy was shocked to see the black soldiers huddled on the steps, their faces painted with horrific paint, and their All kinds of strange weapons in hand.
Due to the sudden encounter, the two sides could not change their minds for a while, so the two sides stared at each other for a moment.
In the end, the fat man on the top of the mountain was the first to let out a panicked howl, turned around and fled back.
The black leader who reacted quickly stood up again, raised his iron sword, and took the lead in flying towards the top of the mountain, still shouting loudly, "Catch that coward and catch him!"
However, before they could continue to run a few steps to the top of the mountain, they heard a sharp, piercing and strange sound, like the roar of a demon, which seemed to come from all directions and stung everyone's eardrums.
In fact, it was a ringing sound.
The air raid warnings of later generations will make many people feel strange tonight.
Under the influence of Si's strange thing, most of the black robbers involuntarily slowed down and wanted to see the situation.
Only one silly big man who believed in his bravery still waved his bronze battle ax bare-chested and screamed alone.
At the front, there is a long distance between you and the others.
Five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps, watching this roaring and reckless guy seem to be about to rush to the end of the stairs, let the battle ax in his hand drink blood, the black warriors who followed behind all shouted and cheered However, the warrior's final sprint came to an abrupt end at the end of this long staircase.
Accompanied by a bright sword light and a slumped headless corpse, a heroic purple-haired lady suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain: "Heirs of the Busujima style, Busujima Saeko Ginseng, you and other cowards like you, please accept your fate quickly."
Immediately afterwards, the fat man who turned around and ran away also appeared on the top of the mountain holding an automatic rifle equipped with many gadgets.
He grinned at the black bandits gathered in the narrow mountain road and pulled the trigger.
The muzzle sprayed out strings of fire and poured out a deadly hail of bullets: "Hehehe, you little thieves, let's have a taste of the power of your Mr.
Hirano Toda.
My newly modified gun can finally be used."
At the same time, Doraemon, Wang Qiu and others, who were drinking happily in the Temple of Amon in Thebes, Egypt, and were already drunk, received a panicked call for help from Cyrenaica through the radio walkie-talkie.
Communication, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and I even woke up from the wine: "It's terrible.
Our settlement has been attacked by unknown enemies.
We are currently in a battle.
