Chapter 57: Incentives

George was fiddling with gadgets in the room, and when he heard the call, he hurriedly put on his glasses and ran out, standing in front of Zheng Fei.

"Captain, I don't know how to shoot," he said cautiously, thinking that Zheng Fei was asking him to learn to shoot.

Zheng Fei joked: "Who let you shoot, look at your woman-like hands and get down to business, I remember you once said that you were an excellent engineer." ”

"Yes, I know all kinds of machinery. George smirked.

"And will you modify the musket?"

"I don't know how to shoot. ”

"If you were given a ready-made drawing, would you be able to modify it?"

"I could try, but I didn't dare to pack tickets. ”

"Okay, wait for me for half an hour. After speaking, Zheng Fei went back to the room alone.

The soldiers of the Foreign Legion are equivalent to or even higher than the special forces, not only to be proficient in shooting and fighting and know how to use strategies, but also to understand the history of the development of various firearms.

It just so happens that Zheng Fei is a gun fan, and he has studied the principle and structure of guns, and the number of times he has disassembled and assembled guns is 8,000, if not tens of thousands.

Even if you can't draw a diagram of the construction of a modern precision gun, it is still feasible to design a simple rifled gun.

Half an hour later, he punctually lit up the drawings in front of George's eyes.

"The barrel is so thin," George looked at the structure he had never seen before, with a curious gaze.

"The combination of a thin barrel and threaded rifling increases accuracy. ”

"But I can't make such a thin iron pipe now, let alone have to carve threads into it. George shrugged and said calmly.

"I'm sure you can, George, there's a furnace and all the materials you need on the North America, so go over today. As he spoke, Zheng Fei smiled slyly and said in a low voice, "I'll let Vivian go over tomorrow." ”

"Ahem, I'll try it!"

At this moment, their conversation was interrupted by loud shouts.

"Captain!~" shouted the sailors who were still soaking in the sea.

Zheng Fei, who had been concentrating on drawing just now, remembered that group of unlucky guys, who had probably been soaked for almost an hour, right?

He hurried to the stern of the ship and looked down, only to see the sailors clutching the hull of the ship in a bitter manner, and they were extremely weak.

"Yes, I didn't leave any of them. Zheng Fei deliberately put down the gangway without smiling on his face.

As for the sailors of the other two ships, they had already consciously escaped from the sea of suffering, lying shirtless on the deck to bask in the sun, Zheng Fei decided to punish them, so after George packed his things, the two of them took a small sampan together and ran to the North America.

Seeing the captain coming, Santiago and a number of sailors quickly got up and waited anxiously for the training.

"Are you lying comfortably?" Zheng Fei smiled and hid a knife.

The sailors did not dare to speak, and puffed their heads in unison.

"Santiago go pour me a drink. ”

"Beer or?"

"I know you kid secretly hid a good sherry, take it out and give it to me to taste!"

Santiago pursed his lips and obediently went back to the cabin to pour the wine, which had been bought with the hundred silver coins that Zheng Fei had rewarded him.

After he disappeared from sight, Zheng Fei glanced at the remaining sailors, and said sternly: "Do you know why your boss can drink sherry and you can only drink beer?" After a pause, he continued: "Because I gave him a bonus, I didn't give it to you." ”

"Why don't you give it to you, because you are not qualified!" Zheng Fei deliberately sarcastic.

When the sailors heard this, they felt very uncomfortable.

"Money is earned by ability, and if you want to get bonuses and get rich, you have to put in more effort than others, understand?"

"Understood," the dull answer was, very reluctant.

Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows, knowing that their hearts were unbalanced, and said, "In a month, if any of you can surpass Santiago, I will reward him with a hundred silver coins!"

The sailors' eyes lit up, and they suddenly came to life.

"What are you waiting for, run ten laps around the deck! The first one to finish can sleep Lilith tonight!"

Almost instantly, the excited sailors dispersed and ran around the deck as if they were dead.

When Santiago came out, he saw the sailors with the appearance of chicken blood, handed the wine glass to Zheng Fei and said suspiciously: "What's the situation, man, do you know how to use spells? These guys are usually lazier than me." ”

"You're embarrassed to say that if you are overtaken by them one day, it will be up to you to mess around. ”

"Haha, it won't~" Santiago smiled confidently, completely ignoring his own men.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, George has to stay on the North America to develop new weapons recently, and you fully cooperate. ”

After settling George, Zheng Fei took the small sampan to the South America, using the same method to motivate Hans's men, except, of course, Grant.

Grant insisted on staying on the South America, as the ship was full of supplies, beef sausages, not to mention a full half of the ship's wine.

On the watchtower, the sea breeze was blowing, and the two were chatting.

"Grant, I'll be in Portugal in a few days, do you want to go ashore?" Zheng Fei asked after taking a sip of wine.

The reason why he wanted to call at the port in Portugal was not because he needed some supplies, but because he wanted to visit Lisbon, the westernmost city on the European continent and one of the most famous large ports in the Middle Ages.

"Well, my God, that's a tough choice. As he spoke, Grant inadvertently took Zheng Fei's flask, took a sip and returned it.

"You can keep it and drink it" Zheng Fei is a bit of a cleanliness fetish in this regard.

Grant didn't notice that he was disgusting himself, pouted and continued: "I returned to Barcelona from Liverpool not long ago, I originally wanted to get Alonso's guy a vote, but now it definitely won't work, I don't know where to go, the main reason is that the money on my body is almost squandered, and I can't pick up girls haha." ”

"Then you want to follow my fleet all the time?" Zheng Fei's brows frowned slightly, although this unruly legendary ranger has excellent skills, he is not easy to manage, maybe he will poke some kind of basket.

"Hmm, aren't you welcome?"

"But do you know where I'm going?"

"Nordic Africa?" Grant guessed, and finally smiled, "Isn't it the East that everyone wants to go to?"

"None of them are right. Zheng Fei's face became solemn, and he said seriously: "What I'm going to is a continent that no one has ever reached, and no one knows what kind of danger awaits us, are you sure you want to be together?"

"Was Ranger Grant ever scared?" Grant smiled faintly and took a sip of wine.

"Of course you won't be afraid, but you have to follow my instructions in the future, can you do it?"

Hearing this, Grant was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said, "What if I refuse?"

"Then go ashore in Portugal, and I'll give you some silver coins, and the rest is up to you, and go on with your fearful life, and hide from your enemies. ”
