Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Brig!
The sea breeze stirred the rippling waves, constantly washing the reef on the shore, the original sharp reef after an unknown amount of baptism, but also slowly became rounded, on the road markings imprinted with the traces of time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And in the corner of the slightly raised bay on the coast, Chopin has long determined the location of development.
"Oh, if you build a fishing ground here, that's a pretty good decision." Kitt subconsciously rubbed his newly grown beard a few times, and said with a little appreciation.
Natural deep-water ports are scarce, and there are not many of them on the entire lazy island, but the conditions here are a bit unique, and it was a good decision to build a fishing ground here.
Although as a military minister, he received all the knowledge about the development and construction of the army at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, but before the minister of the navy had a suitable candidate, the heavy responsibility for the establishment and development of the navy fell entirely on the other side.
"In that case, let's build the fishery here."
Chopin also nodded slightly, and as he spoke, his consciousness was already connected with the game instructor in his mind.
"Fishing ground: a concentrated place with fishing value, the construction of which requires 600 gold coins."
"Introduction: The resources on the Drifting Island are limited after all, but the resources of the ocean are almost endless. The fishery is based on the construction of a nearby fishing village, and the surrounding fishermen are gathered for concentrated fishing. ”
"Features: 1, Empire increases taxes by 1% per month.
2. The monthly population growth will increase by 0.5%.
3. Allowed to recruit: Light Canadian Battleship, Heavy Canadian Battleship, East India Merchant Ship, Fast Sailing Ship. ”
Half a moon flies, and a new round begins, and this time the system rewards 1,200 gold coins, which is enough for Chopin to build a fishing ground that he has always wanted to forget.
With the movement of consciousness, the power of the mystical came again, different from the last time when the university was built with the magnificent light, this time the energy fluctuations were obviously much softer.
With the ripples of the three-dimensional phantom in my mind, the surrounding environment is also changing rapidly, like a slide, constantly switching from page to page, which seems real and illusory.
White walls stand dreamily around the waves, like the most loyal warriors, stopping the rough waves, and on the inner side of the bay, wooden docks have been built for ships to dock.
As for the soft mud under Chopin's feet, it was completely hidden by the neatly paved bricks and stones in the ripples that fluctuated and spread like water.
Almost at the same time, a row of neat houses was also lined up in an orderly manner, and immediately after that, a fisherman dressed in sackcloth came out of the houses in an endless stream, either fishing or drying nets, in short, all began a busy and intense work.
"Your Majesty, I think we have to speed up the construction of battleships." Looking at the few small fishing boats on the coast that were summoned by the system, Kit couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said helplessly.
There is no doubt that the first maritime power in the game is naturally the empire on which the sun never sets, followed by the Spanish Empire, which once had an invincible armada, and the French navy, although not particularly strong in the game, is definitely not weak.
However, on the Drifting Island, in addition to a few dilapidated three-masted galleons looted from Damatheus and Charles, there are only these fishing boats that can only roam the offshore area at most, which is really a bit unreasonable.
Hearing Kit's words, Chopin couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face, but just a cursory glance at the price of those warships by the connection system, he completely dispelled the idea of recruiting warships, even the cheapest light Canadian battleship required 1000 imperial gold coins, far from what Chopin could afford now.
But at this time, he has a better choice in his hands......
The golden card emits a faint glow, covered with mysterious and obscure lines, and on the front of the card, the image of a sailboat is printed.
Absorbing the energy of the magician's collapse before, the system carried out a new round of self-examination, so that the system has a clearer and more accurate understanding of the energy structure of this world, and the card in his hand is a special reward given by the system.
"Brigs: A brig is a sailing ship with two masts and sails mounted as a crosssail. In the age of sail, brigs were widely used as warships and commercial ships because of their fast speed and high maneuverability. ”
"As a type of brig, brigs with crosssails on both masts have greater sailing ability, better maneuverability, and require less manpower than mainship schooners, so they are very popular. Although it is not as good as a schooner, it can even turn around on the spot as a schooner, under the command of an experienced captain. ”
"Now it has sixty seamen as sailors and 12 9-pounder guns as weapons for self-defense. If the high maneuverability and agility of the brig can be used reasonably, it will be an absolute nightmare for all enemies. ”
With Chopin's palm gently thrown forward, the golden card seemed to turn into a blazing sun, and the scorching brilliance overflowed in all directions, and in the rippling golden ripples, a battleship more than thirty meters long also landed steadily in the bay.
The streamlined, slender hull swayed as the waves waved, and the snow-white sails were already hanging high and began to vibrate at a tiny frequency at high speed under the blowing of the sea breeze.
Hundreds of tons of behemoths were pressed down abruptly, and even though seawater was a good buffer medium, it could not completely offset this huge impact force for a while.
Bursts of waves kept stirring, setting off one white practice after another, like a crazy beast, releasing the wildness and unrestrainedness in their hearts.
This lion, who showed his majesty in the sailing era of the previous life, will eventually bloom more brilliantly in this other world.
And with the construction of a thick wooden plank, the sailor, whose name contains youth and vitality, led by the slightly vicissitudes of life at the head, also paced quickly towards Chopin's position.
"Captain of the brig, Giman, salute you, Your Majesty the King."
The knife-like face, the lean and sturdy body, and the eyes rich in wisdom also contain an irrepressible fanaticism at this time.
