Golden Fishery
One thousand seven hundred and sixty-five. Sky-high price nobles
phone-reading
The last Titan company was established in San Diego, and it has a big background. It is a major supplier of national security and homeland security products for the two major North American countries, the United States and Canada. Most of their customers are defense, intelligence and other government law enforcement agencies.
Little Black said that their auction hired this company to be responsible for providing the C4ISR system—a modern offensive and defensive exercise system integrating combat, control, communication, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. defense center.
"It's not a small price to hire four security companies, right?" Qin Shiou asked.
Little Black said relaxedly: "Compared to what we have gained, this amount of effort is nothing. The total is about eight million dollars. But the more difficult thing is to get the four defense companies to cooperate. These guys are very proud and all I feel that I am the best and disdain to cooperate with other companies.”
Although he didn't explain it further, Qin Shiou understood that this required network resources, and the Black family had no shortage of resources in this regard. The most common cooperation in these auctions was to defend the company.
Having met important members of the Little Black family, Qin Shiou entered the exhibition hall accompanied by Little Black. The exhibits were scattered on four floors, and each floor had at least twenty elite security personnel responsible for security work. These people wore Wearing sunglasses and earphones, he glanced at the visitors coming and going with a blank expression, like a RoboCop.
Walking into the hall, Qin Shiou saw a skeleton first. The skeleton was pale in color with tiny traces of sea creatures attached to it. Take a bow almost as tall as he is.
Among them, the bone of the arm holding the bow and arrow is particularly thick, and the back bone on that side is twisted and deformed, full of thick epiphyses and even bone spurs, which looks crazy and hideous, very strange.
Qin Shiou recognized it at a glance. This set of armor and this English longbow are cultural relic weapons they salvaged from the sunken ship. The bowstring of the longbow has been broken. He replaced it with a new bowstring, but looking at it now, it should be replaced again. The same old bowstring. But it was pasted and reconnected.
"Are these weapons and armor obtained from the sunken ship?" Winnie asked curiously. A reporter walked up with a camera, and she gracefully stood beside the skeleton smiling and took a group photo.
Little Blake introduced: "It's not just weapons and armor, even this skeleton was salvaged from a sunken ship." He looked at Qin Shiou, "Dude, do you still remember that there was a box with a lot of bones in it? Yes, this skeleton was taken from it."
Of course Qin Shiou remembered the box, Billy said when he salvaged it. The bones in the box were the pirates who were trapped at sea and had nothing to eat. The bones left by the people who ate them were left in storage. It's disgusting to think about it!
Wei Ni was surprised and said: "Then this person's growth is quite deformed, look at his shoulder blades..."
Little Black nodded and said: "Yes, it is deformed enough, but it also explains why some people can use the English longbow perfectly. I don't know if you have known it before. Many weapon masters question the power of the English longbow. They think that there is no mechanical With assistance, humans cannot fully draw this longbow."
"Look at this bone, this is the answer. Under normal circumstances, it is really difficult for people to fully draw this longbow to exert its power. But in that era, men wanted to become longbowmen. They had a lot of strength on one side of the arm and shoulder. After a lot of training, their bodies have become deformed, and they can fully exert the power of this longbow."
Listening to his introduction, Qin Shiou asked strangely: "That's not right, according to what you said, there should be very few people who can do this, right? In other words, longbowmen were very precious talents in their era, Then how can such a talent be eaten first?"
Little Black stretched out his thumb and laughed, "Qin,
Master, you are a master, you immediately got to the point! "
He looked at the skeleton and the armored weapon on his body, with an expectant smile on his face: "Among the treasures we salvaged, there are a lot of gold and silver coins, as well as gold and silver wares and ceramics. Among them, the second most valuable should be the one in your hand." A set of incomplete Philip IV commemorative gold coins, and the most valuable are this set of armored weapons and this skeleton!"
Qin Shiou exclaimed, "Are these weapons and armor so valuable?"
Little Black shook his head, pointed at the skeleton and said, "Actually, it is valuable! According to our research, the owner of this dead bone is not simple. Didn't you ask why such a precious longbowman would be eaten by pirates first?" ? The reason is very simple, he is a captive of pirates and an enemy of pirates!"
"His true identity is England's wandering baron, Chuck Leman-Chamberlain!"
Qin Shiou expressed that he was very unfamiliar with the name that Little Black said, and he had never heard of this nickname or this person.
Little Blake introduced him. Of course, this person is not well-known in history, but he is quite famous in the history of weapons and cultural relics. He is a baron promoted by accumulating military exploits as a civilian. A long bow has repeatedly made military exploits. But after obtaining the title, he didn't want to be imprisoned in the old-fashioned British barracks, so he took his famous longbow and left the British mainland to form a mercenary army to fight around.
Later, according to the genealogy records of the Chamberlain family, their marksman ancestor led his small mercenary group to Spain and disappeared. After several investigations, it was found that this ancestor was not missing, but died in the Bartholomew Pirates. During the invasion of San Cadarina Island. Among them, another theory is that the sharpshooter did not die in battle, but he joined the pirate group and fled with the pirates.
The latter statement is naturally an insult to the Chamberlain family, as well as an insult to the British aristocracy, so it has not been adopted. But what frustrated the Chamberlain family was that they had no evidence to refute this claim.
Now that the evidence has come out, it is clear that the Baron Marksman was captured during the battle. Little Black said that the original intention of the pirates to capture him may be to exchange him for money—in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, once knights and nobles were captured in European wars Unable to be tortured and injured, they could use money to redeem themselves, so it was very popular to capture nobles and knights in wars at that time.
But unfortunately, this pirate group did not survive until the day when they could ask for the ransom. They were trapped in the cold Arctic sea, and the Baron Marksman was not exchanged back, but was used as food... (To be continued continued.)
