CH.18 Transformation
"Beyond 1,000 yards of the sea, most of the game's system will be disabled, but character skills will still be available. When 1000 yards close to the sea, the game system will naturally recover. ”
After reading the prompt, Donk's expression returned to his original state, and he hired a carriage, paid the fare, and let the coachman pull him to the beach. He sat in the bumpy carriage and kept watching the game system in his head, and when he got close to the sea, the system was activated again.
After this verification, it was proved that this game system can only be used at sea, and will not work when it comes to shore.
He returned to the Black Pearl and led his sailors to an inn, where only the Tricksters remained in their cells. However, Donk left the trickster plenty of food and didn't intend to starve him to death.
The seaside is full of business opportunities, and there is a group of people who specialize in soliciting customers, and when they see the sailors disembarking, they will surround them and pull them to their own inn.
Donk opened a dozen double rooms, arranged for the sailors to stay here, and after a great meal and drink, he gathered the people together.
"You can indulge as much as you want during your stay in Port Carlin, but make sure that there are two people on call at the inn every day, because I have to plan another trip to sea for a while, and I need someone to run errands for me." Donk said to the five big and three thick sailors.
The sailors agreed, and Donk gave them some gold coins, enough for them to squander for a month.
"Captain, do you know where there is a girl in this place?" A sailor said with a wink.
"Inquire for yourself." Donk scolded with a smile.
Most of the pirates lived a life of drunken dreams, and when they had no money, they would go out to sea on pirate ships, and when they had money, they would go ashore to enjoy themselves, until they were kicked out by the old bustard when their pockets were empty, and the cycle continued.
The sailors were free, but Donk had a few things to do, the first of which was to repair the ship and buy enough artillery.
There are three shipyards built on the shore, and there are three of them, all of which vary in size, but the Black Pearl, a medium-sized ship, can be restored wherever you go. Donk chose a nearby shipyard, swaggered in, and was greeted by a smile on his face.
Donk talked about the situation of the Black Pearl, and the location of the docking, these ships will be numbered by the port authority after docking, and each ship is in order. In order to better express his intentions, he pulled the merchant in front of the Black Pearl, gesturing and talking about his thoughts.
"All the damage had to be repaired, and it had to be cleaned well, and now the ship smelled like mold. In addition, I want to change the ship well, give me a black base color for the hull, and draw some patterns in red on it, I want a simple pattern, but it needs to be beautiful. He did this to change the appearance of the ship, so that it would not be recognized as the ship of the black toad.
"Add a gun door to the hull, ten on one side, and get me a carving of a dragon head in the bow, remember, be fierce! I don't need to install the cannon first, I have to choose what cannon to install. You give me more spare sails, whether it's a square sail or a spinnaker, I have to choose different sails according to the situation. My flag has to be changed, you have a painter here, right? ”
The merchant used his notebook to record Donk's words, raised his head and lifted his glasses, and said: "Of course, the flags made by our shipyard will never fade, which are famous in the Greenland Empire, and the painters are also famous, and a painting is worth dozens of gold coins." But since you're here to repair ships and buy guns, I'll give you this flag for free. ”
Donk didn't listen to this set of arguments, and besides, he didn't know art, as long as the pirate flag he made was in line with his aesthetics.
His aesthetic is very simple, to be fierce!
Led by a merchant, he found the painter, an old man with a hexagonal hat.
The banner of the Dragon Pirate Regiment, which is naturally painted with an evil dragon. Donk had a dragon tattoo on his right shoulder, and he liked it, so he took off his clothes and asked the artist to draw it on his right shoulder, and then make a flag.
As soon as he showed his tattoos, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile wryly.
Tattoos are a big symbol of piracy, and a person who wants to drive a ship into a pirate city must show his tattoo, the pirate flag is a symbol of a ship, and the tattoo is a symbol of a pirate.
Many years later, the dragon tattoo with the surname had become famous, and as soon as the banner of the dragon pirate group was unveiled, even the navies of the five empires had to fire cannons and make a detour to pay their respects.
The shipyard opens its doors to do business, whether you are a merchant ship, a military ship or a pirate ship, as long as you pay for it, these people didn't ask Donk if he was a pirate, in a word, only talk about business, not about origin. With enough money, they could build even a 1st class battleship with 100 guns.
After Tang Ke dealt with the matter of the flag, he saw that it was still early, and went straight to the shipyard to build a fort facing the sea, the waves were crashing against the metal frame, and there was a row of all kinds of guns on the platform, solemn and majestic, and the cannon body shone with the cold light unique to metal.
These guns were breech-loading guns, which were stuffed with solid shells and blown out by the filled gunpowder. The basic theory is this, but the types of guns have developed according to the needs of the diversified.
First of all, the weight varies, small artillery weighs about one ton, and large artillery even four or five tons. The displacement of the Black Pearl is 150 tons, and this value must be taken into account when installing the guns, and the weight of the installed guns, plus the recoil when firing the guns, must be calculated.
Secondly, the range, rate of fire, and reload time are all different. The long range can be used to weaken the enemy ship in a little detour tactics at a long distance, but the long range combined with the turbulence of the sea makes the hit rate of the artillery pitifully low. Those with a fast rate of fire can choose melee combat, and the two ships are more than 100 meters apart and then bombard, this distance uses a horizontal shooting angle, and the artillery accuracy can be hit no matter how low.
Donk chatted with the artillery merchant for a long time, probably figured out the advantages of these guns, and at the suggestion of the merchant, he chose a medium cannon with a high rate of fire, with a body length of 2.7 meters and a weight of two tons.
With an idea, he used the investigation technique on the selected artillery, and it turned out to be effective, and the basic information of the cannon came into his mind.
Designation: Medium Cannon
Durability: 90 (Each shot is a wear and tear on the gun, and when the durability is 0, the gun will be scrapped)
Ammunition types: solid bullets, chain bullets, scattered bullets.
Destructive power: ★★ ☆
Bullet speed: ★ ☆
Range: 200 yards.
Reload speed: 2 minutes.
Equipment position: Ship side.
Due to its short range and fast reloading, equipped with this gun, the Black Pearl could only choose melee combat. Donk demanded that the gun mounts be made detachable, so that they could be used in place of the artillery after recruiting the Spitting Frogs in the future.
With a range of 350 yards and a rate of fire of more than ten seconds, the data is far superior to this artillery.
This time, the Black Pearl will have a new look, but the cost is also huge, and all the gold coins of Donk have been put up, and now there are only more than twenty gold coins left in the free money in his hand.
By the time Donk left the shipyard, the sky was already full of stars, the streets were lit up in the night, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and those who were in a hurry to get home were in a hurry, but some drunks were still unhurried.
His stomach was already empty, but he didn't plan to go back to the hotel, those sailors didn't have to worry at all, maybe now they were all holding the woman Hu Tianhu Emperor in their arms. As he walked, he looked for where to settle the meal.
He didn't find the dinner, but he first saw a notice board with all kinds of bounty orders pasted on it, and there was a portrait of the head of the black toad pirate group inside.
Name: Harold Haysen.
Reward: 45,000 gold.
"Ding! Activate the Bounty System, which allows you to view the Pirate's Bounty Leaderboard. ”
Although many functions of the system have failed, some recruitment and redemption functions have been disabled, and the interface can still be viewed. He clicked on the main interface and looked, and sure enough, there was an additional [Bounty] system, which was full of pirate information he had seen on the bulletin board.
His game system belongs to the absorption type, you can get port information when you touch a port, and you can get artillery information when you see a cannon. In addition, all the guns he saw in the shipyard appeared in the [Exchange] system, which can be exchanged for bonus points.
Red Rose Tavern.
Donk chose to fill his stomach here.
