The job of replacing the "bow image" is very simple.

The "bow image" can be changed at will, and the bow position is specially set up with adjustable card slots to facilitate adaptation to different types of bow images.

Gary stepped forward to dismantle the ordinary bow portrait of the boy blowing the conch on the original "Conch". Evan, on his own, easily lifted the "Monsoon Goddess", which required four or five guards to lift, and mounted it to the bow of the ship.

There is no need for any redundant processes.

Soon, with a gust of sea breeze blowing, no sound and light effects appeared in the mortal's field of vision. But in Aven's spiritual vision, a vague wave of sorcery had spread from the "Bow Statue of the Monsoon Goddess" and spread throughout the ship.

"It's done!"

Seeing the smooth launch of the "Bow Portrait", Evan couldn't help but smile on his face.

A few months ago, when the Combined Fleet fought the "Ghost Ship", Evan had been fascinated by its warped bow statue of three human heads, which was terrifying and terrifying. Just a single bow statue gives the "ghost ship" the power equivalent to that of a quasi-legendary warship.

It's just a pity that in the end, it was directly blown up by the real legendary battleship "Steam Fortress" and the entire "ghost ship", and there was not even a bit of scum left.

Originally, he planned to improve his wizarding abilities and then build a ship's bow statue customized for himself. Unexpectedly, the viscount generously "lent" Aven, the "goddess of the monsoon", in order for Ai Wen to catch up with those pirates in time.

Although it is a human creation, it is not necessarily less useful than a sea treasure when used well, at least in a sea power country like Faltitis, it can be called priceless!

Very good, very good, and then it will be called Galliot.

Soon, the crew of the "Conch" returned to the ship. Attentive people have noticed that the bow statue on their warship has been changed, but because of the prestige of the captain, no one dares to ask Evan about such a trivial "little thing".

"Report to Your Excellency, Captain, all the men are in place, please instruct!" the first mate Borg walked over to Evan and bowed in for instructions.

Evan didn't shirk and walked straight to the stern building to give a mobilization lecture to the sailors lined up on deck.

"Brave Navy soldiers!

I have just received a complaint from the local consul, Viscount Andrea, that a band of vicious pirates has just hijacked a Leopold merchant ship, and it is on our patrol route.

As the navy of the kingdom, we have always had only one attitude towards pirates, and that is to resolutely crack down on them and never let one go.

The majesty of the navy is not to be offended, let the most heroic officers and sailors of the kingdom give these pirates a little color!

A gang of pirates is wreaking havoc in the Conch's patrol area, wreaking havoc right under our noses.

Soldiers, do you agree to such a thing?!"

"No, no!" the soldiers echoed in unison.

"Moreover, His Excellency the Viscount is a benevolent consul, and at the end of his mission, he is willing to reward each soldier with two additional golden lions for the bravery of the navy!"

"Hooray! Hooray!" this time the harmony shook the sky with a neat sound!

"Let's go!"

Ai Wen waved his hand and gave the order, and the soldiers who were already full of energy quickly moved into action, lifting anchor and hoisting the sails to drive the "Conch" to the sea.

This pre-war mobilization was not because Evan wanted to show off the captain's presence, but in fact it followed the normal operational procedures of the Kingdom Navy.

After going to sea, in order to ensure that the kingdom has control over each warship, the captains and lieutenants of the auxiliary captains on the ship need to keep an independent logbook, and everything that happens on the ship must be based on an independent logbook.

Moreover, although the power of the captain is huge, he cannot appoint or dismiss any actual captain officer, and to a certain extent, this series of regulations is also a check and balance on the captain's power.

It's like Gary's boatswain's appointment, and it's just acting. Although there is Ai Wen, the weight of this agent may be greater than the main position, but nominally he can only do things according to the rules.

Therefore, it is impossible to conceal the Third Fleet's private work in this operation.

Ai Wen simply told the officers and sailors of the Navy the "true" information that had been deleted, and went through the normal process to exercise his cruising duties, even if something went wrong, he couldn't find fault with the captain at all!

The crew members worked together to give birth to the Conch and immediately catch up with the pirates to recapture the merchant ship for His Excellency the Viscount.

It's just not long before going to sea.

"Vader, do you think our 'Conch' is running very fast today?"

"Tracy, do you feel that way?"

Tracy, the ship's chief steward, asked with some confusion as he stopped Vader, the chief of the cables, who had passed by him. After all, the two of them, plus Captain Adrien, were probably the three most speed-sensitive people on board.

"I've just dropped the speed line, and we'll know how fast we're going to be in a minute. "Captain Vader is clearly a man of action and reacts as soon as he notices that the boat is not going at the right speed.

In this era, there was only a blue wave on the sea, there were few references, and there was no advanced equipment, so it was not easy to accurately measure the speed of the ship.

But clever seafarers invented the speed rope method.

The specific method is to throw a floating body with a rope towed to the sea surface when the ship is sailing, and then calculate the speed of the ship according to the length of the rope pulled out in a certain period of time.

In order to reduce the error, the rope may be placed very long, and many knots are tied at equal distances of the rope, so that the whole speed rope is divided into sections.

As long as the number of sections of the rope being pulled in the same unit time is measured, the corresponding speed will naturally be measured.

This is also the origin of "knot" as a unit of measurement for the speed of sea vessels.

Soon, through the precise timing of the portable pocket watch, they were surprised to find that according to past experience, the speed under normal conditions today should be about 6 knots, but the actual measured speed reached an astonishing 7 knots and nearly 8 knots.

It increased by 20%-30% out of thin air, and the hull was still very stable.

"What's going on?" the two looked at each other, only to see the confusion in each other's eyes.

In fact, their status as full-fledged officers is enough to know part of the truth about the otherworld, but they are limited by the seclusion of long-term service on a Tier 6 cruiser.

Except for the official information on knightly cultivation and the legends and stories circulating on the sea, there are simply no more channels to get more information about the transcendent world.

Fortunately.

There's no way Evan will allow his ship to remain the status quo forever, and his wizarding abilities won't be used forever. He was already prepared to open up some of the extraordinary common sense to the crew to a limited extent, starting with this "Shipbow Statue Monsoon Goddess".

It's okay if you just want to mess around, but whether you go to the New World to find your sister, take revenge on an enemy in another country, or realize your ambitions, you can't do it without a group of high-quality teams.

They must be armed with knowledge and skills to keep the crew up to their pace.

Just like industrial development, no matter how powerful you are, it will not work without a large number of high-quality industrial workers to lay a solid foundation.

......

On the sea, the two ships were slowly moving one after the other, but most of their sails had been lowered, and they were obviously not in a hurry.

The one in front of it has black sails, clearly revealing the fact that it is a pirate ship.

The Iron Bone is a three-masted pirate ship converted from a merchant ship.

The ship was forty meters long, with twenty guns, and a bow gun that was more symbolic than practical. However, the bow gun was covered with iron hoops, like the vertebrae of a giant creature, which was very worthy of the ship's name.

A middle-aged man wearing a triangular captain's hat and a cyan stubble stood behind the bow gun and looked at the sea in the distance, holding a pirate scimitar at his waist.

Wearing a not exquisite but very clean white flower-sleeved shirt, long pants and leather boots, and a slight laziness that can't be concealed, it is the captain of this pirate ship "Iron Bone William".

"What happened to the people on the Twinfish?"

"Don't worry, captain, it's all explained, and I won't abuse them if I eat and drink. ”

Behind him, a sturdy young man with a shirtless body, revealing a bronzed skin, holding a dagger and playing with a knife flower, immediately put away the dagger when he heard this, bowed slightly and replied.

"But, Captain, do you think that fat pig in Westcoll will keep his promise?

Dutifully answered the question of the most respected captain, and the stout young man also asked his doubts.

In his impression, the so-called magnates on the shore are all hungry wolves in human skins, who have always eaten people without spitting out bones. Even if they only say one word, they have to consider whether there will be seven or eight layers of meaning in the back.

If you're not careful, you'll be deceived by them!

"Hehe, he doesn't dare!" "Iron Bone William", a middle-aged man who is the captain of this pirate ship, touched the double knives on his waist and said categorically.

It's a short story, but it contains infinite confidence!
