Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep
Chapter 45 The Evolution of Dragons
A mansion in Meereen.
Jack opened Korakshu's mouth and reached out to touch the two "fuel pipes" inside his mouth.
Korakshu's body trembled when the "fuel pipes" were touched. Obviously, the "fuel pipes" were very sensitive and fragile.
"Quiet, it's okay, believe me, Korakshu." Jack gently comforted Korakshu.
Then he continued to study the fuel pipes in Korakshu's mouth.
It is said that the dragon's dragon flame is fire magic, and the disappearance and appearance of magic coincide with the disappearance and appearance of the dragon, so this statement has been generally recognized by the warlock community.
Jack did not care about the connection between the appearance of the dragon and the magic tide, but noticed an organ in the dragon's mouth.
Jack named this organ a fuel pipe. The pair of fuel pipes grew on both sides of the dragon's mouth. Korakshu's fuel pipe was a little closer to the inside, while Drogon's was very obvious.
Jack has carefully observed Korakshu's fire-breathing, and it is certain that when it breathes fire, the fuel pipe will spray out some mist-like combustible gas.
But Jack has not figured out how Korakshu ignites these gases.
Perhaps it is bioelectricity, or perhaps it is magic.
But no matter what the method is, it is enough to make Jack marvel at creatures like dragons.
In the previous life, many biologists studied why animals on the blue planet did not evolve the ability to breathe fire.
After all, in the era of prehistoric biological evolution explosion, flame can be said to be the most powerful "weapon" on earth.
In the end, the most widely spread and most recognized statement is that the evolution of the fire-breathing function is too cost-effective, because if you want to breathe fire, you must evolve a large enough lung capacity, fuel injectors and fuel storage tanks.
The complex evolutionary process has made animals give up the characteristic of breathing fire.
But the dragon, the dragon in Game of Thrones, although it is a nuclear bomb-level air force, it is simply a pterosaur that can breathe fire, which is far from the dragon in mythology and legends.
This made Jack very interested in the evolution of dragons. As for the legend, dragons were transformed by Valyrians using blood magic and pterosaurs.
Jack sneered at this. He didn't believe that the Valyrians, a small nomadic people, would have such advanced blood magic.
For a civilization like nomadic people who depend on the weather for food, it's good enough to be full. How can they have the leisure time to study such advanced blood magic?
Unfortunately, Jack himself is not a biologist, and there is no such high-tech civilization to support Jack's research.
Helplessly letting go of Korakshu, Jack patted the cage and ordered: "Enter!"
Korakshu got into the wooden cage without hesitation. Although the wooden cage had no binding force, for Korakshu, the real binding force came from the owner, not the wooden cage.
"Great, good boy!" Jack rubbed Korakshu's head, then opened the wooden cage and let Korakshu out again.
At this moment, an Unsullied came in, "Your Majesty, what you asked for has been done. A total of 1,126 knives have been collected, and 300 Unsullied have all sneaked into the city."
"Okay, hide the weapons, and wait. It will probably be a short time before news from Yunkai arrives."
Sure enough, that afternoon, the news that Yunkai had been conquered by Daenerys reached Meereen.
The nobles of Meereen held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Dany, who had 9,000 Unsullied and an unknown number of slave soldiers.
In the end, everyone gave up the idea of hiring soldiers. The hiring money for mercenaries was too expensive. Ordinary mercenaries usually had to pay about 100 gold dragons to participate in the war, and senior officers had to pay more.
The walls of Meereen were tall and strong enough, and there were enough slave soldiers in the city. There were also many gladiators who could participate in the war, so they were not afraid of Dany relying on the walls.
The last step was to build walls and clear the fields. A fire directly burned down the manor farms outside the city, destroying all available resources including food and cash crops, and not giving the Mother of Dragons any resources.
After the discussion, everyone started to act immediately. Everyone was fully prepared, but they forgot about the sewers in Meereen.
On the other side, after conquering Yunkai, Dany liberated nearly 300,000 slaves. Everyone held Dany in their hands and raised her high, shouting "Mother".
Dany enjoyed the feeling of being relied on by everyone, and also enjoyed the pride of being admired and surrounded by everyone.
But after enjoying it, she still had to consider the reality. After confirming that tens of thousands of people were willing to leave with her, Dany knew that this would bring great pressure to logistics, but she still gritted her teeth and took on these burdens.
The team expanded several times, and the speed of Dany's army slowed down a lot. It was a total of 163 miles from Meereen to Yunkai.
As Dany continued to approach Meereen, she became more and more angry. On this road, a slave child would be nailed to the cross and died tragically every mile.
Jorah came to Dany and said, "Your Majesty, Meereen has adopted the tactic of building walls and clearing the land. All the slave estates around have been burned down. There is no supplies at all."
Dany's chest rose and fell slightly. She didn't expect that the slave owners in Meereen would do such a thing.
The building of walls and clearing the land by the nobles of Meereen has undoubtedly greatly increased the logistical pressure of Daenerys' army. Before, she brought these new free people with her just to rob the estates along the way, but she didn't expect Meereen to directly build walls and clear the land.
"It's okay. Although our logistical pressure is great, it's not unbearable. After conquering Meereen, we can still get supplies."
"After we liberate the three cities in Slaver's Bay, we can take Jack's ship to cross the sea to attack Westeros and take back the Iron Throne that belongs to me!"
Jorah's face turned red when he heard this. As a man, and even more of a senior bootlicker, he naturally understood what it meant for the cunning Jack to lend Dany a warship.
It was a pity that he was not there that day, and the "drunk" Queen was tricked by Jack and lost her body.
It was originally only a few days' journey, but Dany's army took more than a week to reach Meereen.
After setting up camp not far away, Daenerys led the vanguard troops to the foot of Meereen.
At this time, the city wall was full of nobles watching the show, and a large number of slave soldiers were preparing city defense equipment.
At this time, the gate of Meereen slowly opened a gap, and then a horseman rushed out and came to the opposite side of Dany.
"This is the tradition of Meereen. Send out their most powerful gladiators in the arena and then fight one-on-one with the enemy. This is a good way to boost morale and intimidate the enemy." Jorah explained.
At this time, Jack in the stands was watching the urinating gladiator, which was a mockery of Dany. How dare a rootless army led by a woman attack Meereen?
