Chapter 666: Stabilizing the Ship
As the Pirate King, it is the actual beneficiary of this black market, a lot of gray resources will be aggregated on the Pirate Island, and this kind of aggregation often produces sparks that others can't imagine, as far as the largest bulk of materials is concerned, the price of food on the Pirate Island, compared with other places, is lower than forty percent, or even fifty percent, this is not the price of bulk supply, which has formed an indescribable attraction, all kinds of treasures, secret treasures, as long as you can give the price, there is nothing you can't get, of course, As for whether you can get out of Pirate Island after you get it, that's another story, the competition between the various urban areas has never stopped, and in the chaotic environment, the basic law of the jungle is rendered extremely clear. Everyone has to weigh their own weight before they want something.
But sometimes between pirates, strength is not absolute, many times, a word and a look are worth fighting with their lives, fundamentally speaking, pirates are a chaotic creature, and the order in chaos shows an uncertain stability.
Ling Xingyue has always had no good impression of this kind of place, but he can't help it when he hates the chaotic system the most, after all, sometimes, the land of order is rare, and most of it is still a place of chaos, although several people don't want to wade into the muddy waters, but there is no way, they still have to go.
Several people began to prepare in these days, Maserado is a place of abundant materials, all kinds of resources, especially for navigation, that is everything, a few people not only in these few days, enough for half a year's dry food, fresh water to prepare on the ship, but also buy a lot of plants that can bear fruit on the ship, all kinds of apples, oranges, and small breadfruit, all in a large wooden basin, there is a thick soil underneath, a special basin bottom, can be fixed on the ship, even the biggest hurricane, can not take this basin away. And as long as these plants have sufficient sunlight and water, they can continue to bear fruit and ensure the supply of vitamins for several people during the voyage, Ling Xingyue knows that septicemia in the Age of Exploration is the number one killer that threatens the crew. Pirates and sharks followed. It's a pity that these things are used when they are specialized in the ocean, that is, the taste is secondary, and the first thing is to ensure that this thing is rich in vitamins, so you know, these guys are so sour that people can't swallow it. However, listening to the sailors of the ocean, don't look at these things now sour and can't swallow, when you walk for half a year, every day facing the sea, these little green guys are simply more lovely than all the things, and the sour taste will become a supreme delicacy. It seems that the world is like this, there is no best state or anything like that, only a comparison of one state with another.
On the one hand, it is a kind of adaptation, the three of them are land creatures, they have never set foot on the sea, and they are occasionally okay, but this time it is a relatively long-distance trip, adapt to the life on the ship as soon as possible, and improve their state is the best posture in the face of the unknown future.
Felena is very relaxed, the dragon clan can basically be regarded as a kind of water tribe, in Ferena's words, that is, there is a boat, and it is very convenient to go there, a race that can fly, and a race that can sneak in the sea for a long time, for things like boats, it is generally considered a luxury, and it is more used to ensure the comfort of the journey. Felena can operate a boat, it's more of a tradition, just like a steppe person wants to be able to ride a horse, many times, you may not have much chance to ride a horse, but you can't be vague about whether it will be a question.
The whole ship is a new ship that has just come out of the dock, exuding a good smell of wood, and the front and rear cabins, each with seven or eight rooms, which is actually prepared for the captain of the ship, the first mate and the like, or the merchant with the goods, the bottom of the ship is the place of the average sailor, but this time, the ship has four people, so the spare room is there, a few people discussed, all live in the stern, close to the position of the steering gear, after all, the response will be faster. Dry food and water, part of which was placed in the bottom compartment and part in the front room,.
Before the delivery of the ship, the shipowner repeatedly instructed that it was best to get a few big cats on the ship, because, no matter how good the wooden ship, no matter how good the shipyard, there is no way to completely avoid the problem of rats, the rat is only hateful, for the shipowner, that is the most hateful thing in the world, as long as it can drive out the rats, the shipyard can bear any price. So in the workshop where the boat is made, there are a lot of cats patrolling back and forth, but unfortunately, there are so many cats, and there is no way to completely isolate the rodent infestation, these little gray things are simply the nightmare of the boat owner.
But Ling Xingyue was noncommittal about this suggestion, after all, it is more troublesome to have a cat on the boat, you imagine, after all, as a civet family, Ling Xingyue deeply knows that cats like to be alone, and no cat likes to have a cat on their own territory, so when the new ship has been handed over, Ling Xingyue got on the boat first and walked away, and then said to everyone with great certainty, "Don't worry, there are no mice." ”
I did a good job of repelling rats, brought dry food and fresh water, and arranged my room. Felena began to fulfill her responsibilities as captain. All the people were assigned tasks, Zhang Yishan was in charge of the main sail, Ling Xingyue was in charge of the lookout mission, Zhao Jinlong was in charge of the boatswain and deputy sail tasks, and Felena was the captain and helmsman. Under the command of Ferena, the three of them began to operate, began to familiarize themselves with their tasks, and perfected the details step by step.
With Felena's order, Ling Xingyue climbed up in a few steps, not to be precise, it should have jumped up to the lookout of the main mast, and looked into the distance, while Zhang Yishan began to use the zipper to collect the main sail of the ship, the tall main sail, for a berserker like Zhang Yishan, it is not the same thing at all, the sail rope that others need three people to work on, Zhang Yishan pulled it alone as if he had a sling, and the huge canvas fell directly, and it was followed by Zhao Jinlong, and the auxiliary sail was also lowered in an extreme time, Zhang Yishan, who lowered the sails, did not pack up the sail ropes, but ran directly to the bow of the ship, completely abandoned the winch, and directly put the anchors with iron chains into the water one after another, and finally the boat finally stopped smoothly.
