Whether the ships going to sea this time can be equipped with the latest guns is indeed a very big question, but this problem has long been solved.

When Rhodes and Ye Qing arrived at Merlin Bay, a brand-new ship was moored at the seashore.

"Gently, come up!" Rong Sheng waved to Ye lightly at the bow of the boat.

Ye walked briskly on the boat, there were only Rong Sheng and Shi Yin on it, Hu Yingfeng and Juan went to the Meilin Bay Ship Management Office, the ship had completed the final renovation work, and now it was necessary to register for sea navigation.

"All the artillery loaded?" As soon as Rhodes got on board, he ran to the gun bay, and their ship was not only equipped with smoothbore guns, but also the latest, with four guns!

"Hu Yingfeng's credit." Rong Sheng said, beckoning to the two of them and motioning for them to follow him: "I'll show you around." ”

"Our ships will be smaller than the average trading ship, but ours is better!"

Juan chose an aristocratic abandoned ship, the overall hull of the ship was small, and it was docked at the dock for more than a year, but the original wood of the ship was really high-quality, and after Juan's transformation, the ship's effect was maximized.

Even the largest tonnage ship had only three masts, and Juan added an additional diagonal pole in the bow, so that their ship had four poles, from bow to stern, with a diagonal bar, a nose bar, a main bar, and a rear bar, with one sail on the diagonal bar, three sails on the front and main bar, and a spinnaker on the aft bar.

More poles, more sails, and of course faster!

"Our boat is small, and if we go too fast in bad weather, it will be unstable." Rong Sheng continued: "So, Juan has worked the cabin, in addition to the place to live, he has also cleverly set up more storage space, we can store more food, fresh water and artillery, which can be regarded as adding weight to the hull. ”

Ye Qing and the two followed Rong to give birth to the deck.

There is not much space on the ship, below the deck, there is a gun storage cabin at the back of the ship, and the gunner also has to live in it, and go forward, it is the most shaky place under the entire deck, which is divided into two rooms, each room can accommodate four people, the pharmacist Franks and Hu Yingfeng will live here, the outside of the room is the oar room, and then the crew room.

"Juan said that the average boat would store food here, and he thought it was too stuffy, so he was in this location......"

Rong Sheng pointed in the direction above his head, that is, there was a separate space under the deck of the ship, which was dedicated to storing food.

"This place is very hidden, if they meet the bad guys who grab the food, they don't want to find it!"

"And the paddles, Juan's idea is amazing!" Rong Sheng praised Juan, especially on the modification of the oars.

"It takes three or four people to push a paddle, and there are four pulps on both sides, that's eight, and we need at least 24 people, Rod, we don't have that many people right now, right? It doesn't matter if it's just when it's safe to do so, but what do we do if it's critical? ”

"Look." Rong Sheng asked Shi Yin to sit in a rowing position, and he continued: "Juan has changed the traditional way of paddling, using this thing, three people can operate the left and right oars at the same time. ”

"What if you change lanes?" Rod clasped his hands on his chest, leaned to the side, and looked at Rong Sheng with a smile: "When you change course, you always have to separate." ”

"Uncle Thirteen, you show them this."

Shi Yin lifted a board under his seat and put his feet in, his legs moving like pedaling a bicycle, and at the same time, his hands kept pushing forward.

"One person can use this method as the power of more than two people."

"Juan is a genius!" Ye Qing couldn't help but clap his hands, Juan used levers, pulleys, and bevels, and the operation of the entire oar was perfect.

"Look at the gun bay again."

The few people returned to the boat and walked to the bow of the ship, Rod noticed at a glance that the ramming angle and the hull of the ship had changed, and then turned around to look at the additional front battery, Rod immediately understood Juan's thoughts.

"Went to the ramming angle and lowered the hull."

"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked.

"The ramming angle is used to ram the opponent's ship, and once it hits, it will use the front side of the tall hull to fall onto the deck of the opponent's ship and start a melee."

"A pirate-like foreship?"

"Yes!" Rod excitedly walked to the side of the battery, and then went to a battery room at the back of the ship: "The purpose of lowering the hull is to allow our light gun crew to complete long-distance projection!" ”

There were four guns on board, one on the left and one on the left and one under deck, one in the bow and one in the back, and the smoothbore guns for heavy counterattacks, and the other three were light guns with a longer range.

"If we really encounter pirates, instead of hand-to-hand combat at close range, it is better to hit the enemy from a distance, kill them with one blow, or catch the enemy by surprise, and we will hurry up and slip away." As soon as Rong Sheng said this, Juan and Hu Yingfeng both returned to the boat.

"Juan, I didn't expect you to have a lot of research on tactics!" Rod gave Juan a hug, and Juan almost lost his breath.

Juan gasped and said, "The method of the light artillery group was told to me by Rong Sheng, and I can't think of it. ”

Rod was taken aback: "Boy, you have had the brain of a captain since you were a child!" ”

"It's also the fox's credit to be able to get the latest artillery." Rong Sheng was embarrassed to touch his head.

"Fox?"

Rong Sheng looked at Hu Yingfeng: "His nickname." ”

"Hu, tell me quickly, how did you get the latest light artillery group? I've heard that Wendy's Maritime Service has just issued a rule that ships like ours can only be fitted with old smoothbore guns. I'm so curious, how the hell did you do that? ”

Rod's eyes widened with excitement, and Ye Qing also looked at Hu Yingfeng.

Hu Yingfeng glanced at Ye Qing, stroked a strand of hair on his forehead, and said lightly: "It's a little meaning." ”

"What do you mean?" Juan pouted: "Queen Sailer can receive him in person, and our latest light artillery group is specially approved by Queen Sale!" ”

"Queen Sale's special approval?!"

Now, Rode's mouth can be stuffed with an apple, not an egg but an apple!

"Hu, how did you meet Queen Sale? And how did Queen Sailer agree to give us permission for a light artillery crew? Also, What does Queen Thaler look like? Leon told me that she was an absolute example of beauty and intelligence! I don't even know if Leon is exaggerating! Hu, tell me more about ......"

Ye Qing didn't listen to how Hu Yingfeng persuaded Queen Sailer, to talk about the coexistence of beauty and wisdom, if the fox is called second, no one in the world dares to recognize the first, as long as it is a woman who is interested in men, up to eighty, down to three years old, Ye Qing believes that there is no Hu Yingfeng who can't take it.

At this point, the ship, crew and pharmacist are all in place, and Hu Yingfeng and the corresponding onboard materials have been purchased, but only the gunner has not yet been solved.

Now that their ship was equipped with a light gunner, Rhodes felt that his requirements for gunners could be lowered, so he did not rest, and immediately returned to the main city to the rooftop where the gunners were concentrated, hoping to find suitable personnel.

Tomorrow, they will be ready to set off, no matter what level of gunners, they must always have a few on board.
