The interpreter hurriedly translated the black head's words to these Spanish soldiers hysterically, looking at the cold sea wolf soldiers, pointing at their black hole muzzle, these Spanish prisoners suddenly became deflated again, since they have become prisoners, then they can only succumb to the obscenity of others.

The clean-up process became much easier, and under the watchful eye of the Sea Wolf soldiers, the Spanish soldiers were stripped into pigs, and everything was confiscated, including their uniforms, all sorted and sorted together, and then loaded into large baskets.

This is actually a quarantine procedure for sea wolves, these Spaniards are actually not much cleaner than the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, and they will still have fleas and lices on their bodies, and they will not take a bath for many days, not to mention that they are trapped here now, and now the weather is already very hot, and they are all stinky, and many people are still having diarrhea, so they must carry out the necessary quarantine.

As for the remaining more than 200 craftsmen and the black-skinned monkey slaves in Luzon, it was even simpler, they didn't have any decent clothes, and many of them were almost naked, and after learning from the past, these guys, who had been half starved to death, were soon stripped into bare monkeys, and were bare-chested by the sea wolf tribesmen, a group of ten people, all tied their right hands, and began to lead them towards Keelung Fort.

The entire battle in Keelung Fort is now completely over, and for most of the next half a month, the entire Jilong Bay is in a busy state.

A large number of damaged ships need to be repaired in Jilong Bay, and Keelung Fort is not suitable for building a shipyard because there are too many rainy days here, and it is difficult for the wood to dry naturally here, so there are only a small number of craftsmen here, and only simple repair work can be carried out.

But fortunately, every ship, now the sea wolf will be equipped with one or two rough carpenters, these rough carpenters are not good at shipbuilding, but some rough repairs, they can still do it, these people gathered, here in Keelung Fort, some simple repairs to the damaged ships, so that they can restore their navigation ability, and then go to Tamsui and Nanri Island Shipyard for a complete overhaul.

And the two captured Spanish warships became Yu Xiaotian's treasure, Yu Xiaotian immediately arrived at the dock after a little rest, got into the two Spanish ships, and began to observe carefully from the inside to the outside.

In fact, the construction skills of Western-style sailing ships, compared with the skills used by Chinese craftsmen, are not high, many details, such as mortise and tenon structure, they are not as good as Chinese craftsmen, but after careful observation, Yu Xiaotian feels that Western shipbuilding craftsmen pay more attention to the problem of tolerance, and the parts produced are obviously relatively small, and they are good at summarizing experience.

In addition, these large plywood ships in terms of materials, not as he thought, all the hardwoods used are of the best quality, although the European timber resources are not exhausted, but the hardwood resources are not sufficient, and the Spaniards have a unique advantage, they are the first empire on the world where the sun never sets.

As the pioneers of colonialism, the Spaniards were the first to enter the Age of Discovery, enclosing land everywhere in the world, occupying a large number of colonies, and having great resource advantages, so they used much more convenient materials for shipbuilding.

There are a large number of oak forests in the Americas, which can be harvested for them to build ships, oak itself is the best material for shipbuilding, not because the hardness of oak is much more than other wood, the key is that oak is not only strong, but when it is shot, the fragments produced are much less than other wood, which can effectively reduce the killing of debris to personnel.

Some wood looks very hard, but once shot, it will produce a large number of fragments, these fragments fly around in the small cabin, similar to scattered bombs, so the harder the wood used in shipbuilding, the better, and the characteristics of oak itself, make it the best shipbuilding wood, this thing is tough enough, hard, and after immersion, it is not easy to crack or deform, and finally became the most important wood for Western shipbuilding.

In these two large Spanish ships, a lot of oak was used, but in some non-critical parts, they still used a lot of fir and pine to replace oak to reduce costs.

The most important thing is that the ribs inside these Spanish ships are very dense, far stronger than the rib structure used in Chinese ships, and the keel is also made of whole wood, which is very rich in materials, making their ship structure very strong and very resistant to blows.

Both ships had suffered a lot of shells from the sea wolves, but after so many shells, the load-bearing structures inside them were basically undamaged, mainly the side planks, masts and sail lines.

Therefore, as long as these two ships are carefully repaired, these two ships can continue to be used without any problems, and because these two ships use a through-cabin structure inside, it is more convenient to arrange guns in the gun compartment, and more guns can be loaded.

The merchant ship was not equipped with guns because the cabin was to be loaded, so if it was converted into a gunboat, it would only need a small modification to fit more guns, which would greatly increase its firepower.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian carefully observed the artillery loaded on their ship, these guns cast by the Spaniards, well-made, it can be clearly seen that their casting process is quite good, although the process used is not necessarily much better than that of the Ming craftsmen, but they pay more attention to tolerance control, and the artillery porosity manufactured is very few, which is inseparable from their rigorous style.

In addition, the Spanish artillery was not of the imperial system, and of course the artillery was not called an imperial system of thirty-six or twenty-four pounds.

These cannons are often cast with some patterns on the outside, which looks very beautiful, and at the same time, they are also carefully polished, and the craftsmanship is quite exquisite, which also has a lot to do with the development of their European ironmaking technology.

But after careful observation, it can be found that although the tolerance control of these cannons is much better than that of the Ming gunsmiths, there is still a big gap between them and the guns made by the sea wolf.

This is all thanks to Xiaotian's "invention" of the iron fan casting method, the advantage of the iron fan casting cannon is that the iron fan can be used repeatedly, and each cast cannon is a mold out, so the tolerance is naturally much smaller.

And these Spanish gunners have not yet mastered this technique, of course, the tolerances of the artillery they make cannot be better than the tolerances of the guns made by the sea wolves, and the gap is still quite large.

Another problem is that the weight of the Spanish cannon is much larger than the weight of the same type of cannon made by the Seawolf, at least more than one-third of the weight of the same type of cannon of the same type of Seawolf.

The main reason for this situation is that Western gunsmiths, when casting cannons, they also dare not guarantee that their molds are completely dry, and there may also be some flaws inside the cannon wall when casting cannons, in order to ensure the safety of artillery, so when casting, the cannon wall should be thicker.

The sea wolf itself uses the iron fan casting method, which has solved the problem of moisture in the cannon fan, and now uses the inner mold water cooling technology, the quality of the cast cannon is quite good, and the scrap rate is also very low, the gun wall from the inside to the outside, because the interior is the earliest and hardest, so the barrel wall of the gun can be cast thinner, and the weight of the gun is naturally greatly reduced, and at present, the weight of these guns can continue to be reduced, at least about one-third, making the gun lighter.

The application of these techniques also provided the possibility for the Seawolves to forge heavy artillery in the future, as long as they needed, they could open the mold at any time and cast a heavy cannon or snake cannon of more than thirty-six pounds.

It's just that at present, their ships are limited, and they don't need such a large cannon for the time being, so now the heavy artillery is not needed for the time being, but as long as one day his big ship can be built, he will cast heavy cannons, and then let these maritime powers also experience the power of the Chinese's iron fist at sea.

What's more, he will have more than that, one day his ultimate goal is to use a steam engine to replace the sail and push the era into the age of steam power, and then I am afraid that there is no country in this world that can compete with him anymore.

However, to build a steam engine, I am afraid it will take a long time to accumulate skills, and in addition, he has not been in contact with a real steam engine, but he has only understood the basic principles of steam engines in some materials, and if he wants to build a steam engine, it is estimated that it will be difficult without ten or twenty years of technical accumulation.

As for the captured arquebuses, he just took a brief look, mainly in their barrel manufacturing, the Spanish arquebuses should belong to heavy arquebuses, the caliber is relatively large, larger than the caliber of the sea wolf's own musket, about eighteen millimeters, and may even reach twenty millimeters, this thing is very powerful, ordinary armor can't stop it at all, and even a big boar can be killed at close range.

The barrel is also made of two layers of wrought iron, and the way of building it is basically the same as the method used by Daming including his gun craftsmen, but in terms of craftsmanship, it is not much stronger than his gun, and now his gun is not a small workshop-style production.

Seawolf's guns are completely standardized production mode, each craftsman is only responsible for the creation of one part, there are special molds for testing, the quality of the guns produced is definitely not inferior to these Arquebuses made by the Spaniards, not to mention that now he has trial-produced rifled guns, using Minne bullets, as long as a large number of production and modification, his infantry will become the most powerful infantry in this world, and the infantry of any country will be bombarded into slag from afar when they meet them.

All these things in the eyes of others, the extreme of the bull fork, in the eyes of Xiaotian, but it is nothing at all, but these two ships, or very good in his eyes, so far, he has not been able to build such a Galen ship for the time being, this kind of ship is temporarily in the seas of East Asia, and it can definitely be called an overlord, as long as he repairs it, then for a long time in the future, it is estimated that there will be no opponents among peers.

So he ordered the two ships to be repaired briefly for the time being, so that they could be restored to a certain degree of navigation, and after a certain amount of navigation capacity was restored, the two ships were sent to Tamsui and Nanri Island Shipyard for thorough renovation and reinforcement and a certain degree of transformation.

In addition, he did not forget the ship that was sunk in the shallow water of the seaside, the ship did not know how serious the injuries were, and whether there was any repair value, but at least there were a lot of artillery and various materials on board, which was quite valuable.

Therefore, after collecting the hundreds of Spanish infantry on the shore, he immediately arranged for people to start to the place where the shipwreck was, and sent water spirits into the water to explore the ship and check the damage to the ship.

But while doing these things, Yu Xiaotian felt very uncomfortable, because the wound on his leg actually began to inflame, and it began to cause him to have a fever.
