Since coming to the Caribbean, he has waited too long to have his own battleship, for that first magnificent gunsoft salvo!

Lu Yuan looked forward to it quietly, and even the movements of operating the rudder became more and more gentle, trying his best not to let the moving ship interfere with the gunners' shooting......

"Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom~!" Five flames erupted from the starboard side.

Since the ship was downwind at the time of the shooting, the sea breeze blew the white smoke from the shooting onto the deck, choking several groups of gunners who were coughing desperately.

And the two cannons that didn't fire successfully, the people in the artillery crew checked the cannons in great fear, and even one guy put his head in the muzzle of the cannon to look in - that's enough!

However, there were only seven guns, and only five were fired...... Where can the smoke go?! Lu Yuan stood on the stern tower and easily observed the results of this shooting...... He was completely shocked!

"I just said I'm going to shoot that reef, right?!" Lu Yuan grabbed Auguste by the neck, pulled him in front of him fiercely, and asked angrily, "I did say it, right?!" I did mean to shoot that piece that looked at least fifteen feet tall! There's a sixty-foot reef, right?! ”

"Ah......" August looked at Lu Yuan's angry eyes in a panic, looking left and right at a loss, expecting someone to rescue him! But when he saw that all the gunners were huddled together with fright, and trembling, he had to nod his head and reply in a trembling voice, "Yes, your order is for us to shoot that reef......"

Don't look at him as big, don't look at him as the first mate of a certain ship. I've fought many bloody battles with people! But in the face of Lu Yuan's murderous aura that erupted at that moment, he was almost scared to pee his pants!

"Sure enough, it wasn't my problem, I thought I was hallucinating." Lu Yuan let go of his hand in despair, trembling and pushing August to the side, staggering to hold on to the rudder. "Are you shooting the moon?! Engage Billy! You scumbags! You should all be hanged and told to see Stalin! When I came to Hebei Province, I thought this ship was great...... But I'm POSE, so you're going to show me this?! I'm angry! ”

A hundred meters, a hundred meters, the shooting is still a static target, look at the distribution of the sea water splashed when the shell falls into the sea. Nima has to stop a Mi aircraft carrier to hit it!

Lu Yuan lost his temper. I laughed angrily after the end.

In the end, he could only put down the anchor like the Führer and sit down in frustration to figure out a way.

Train a qualified gunner in a day?

It's a fantasy! Take your time......

*********

When Lu Yuan woke up from his annoyance, he realized that he had made many mistakes that leaders should not make. For example, you can't get angry in public, for example, you shouldn't directly express disappointment with your team, etc.

Now the gunners. I was choked by the stormtroopers who were watching around. One by one, they bowed their heads. There is no place to look at yourself. They also knew that they had fought too badly. In the basic salary + sharing system stipulated by Lu Yuan, the basic salary of the gunner is the envy of everyone, and the income of the stormtrooper mainly depends on the share of looting. Of course. Most of the sailors have part-time jobs, and it is impossible to keep professional servicemen on board, so it is not suitable.

So gunner is also a profession that everyone envies, envy and hate.

Lu Yuan shook his head and walked over. He first praised the seventh group of guns, and although they were the slowest group when reloading, their guns were fired correctly and they were the closest to the target!

"That's it! Start the second round! Lu Yuan stood up and clapped his hands, shouting loudly, "You have four minutes!" Hurry up and get started! ”

Then he yelled at the stormtroopers, "Get back to bed!" Or I'll tie you to the reef as a target!" ”

"What are you afraid of tying up there?! They won't hit it anyway! "There's a guy in there who sneers and shakes his wit, and the stormtroopers are heckling again. Lu Yuan looked at it coldly, raised his hand violently, and a cable hung down, tying up the guy who was talking in the crowd.

A bunch of scum who are cannon fodder actually laugh at other people's skills and skills, I really don't know how to write Lu Dao to die!

A rag was shoved directly into the man's mouth, blocking his swearing. "Send him to the reef!"

Lu Yu coldly ordered, and the sailors became silent in an instant! The stormtroopers looked at each other and ducked aside with an old fellow.

After several sailors drove the small boat and sent the instigating guy to the reef, no one dared to laugh at the gunners, and they all hid and watched from a distance. But it wasn't long before someone suggested a gamble for the hapless guy on the reef...... What a bunch of undisciplined bastards!

At this time, Lu Yuan no longer paid attention to them, he handed over the rudder to an old sailor and drove it as he pleased. I walked over to the loaded cannon and checked them one by one. The projectiles are purchased uniformly and are basically the same; The gunpowder was a sub-pack that was weighed in advance, and Lu Yuan found that there was not much difference after measurement, and it was basically the same.

Finally, he stopped his gaze on the lead of different lengths that was exposed beyond the cannon door. At this time there was neither a British improved flintlock, nor such a thing, only this ordinary fuse. Lu Yuan silently pulled out his bayonet sword, and cut the excessively long line of fire in turn, leaving only a length no longer than his index finger outside the barrel.

Immediately, Lu Yuan's sword tip picked up a wooden block that pads the barrel of the cannon, and the sword light flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it was cut into a square wooden pillar 20 fingers long.

"Each gunner takes one, and after each reload, the excess is cut off by itself. If someone violates ......"

Lu Yuan didn't continue, but everyone understood what he meant.

"But such a short lead is too dangerous for the person who ignited the fire!" Most of the gunners silently picked up the sticks and pinned them to their belts, but one gunner protested.

Lu Yuan didn't even look at him, but said coldly. "Then run faster!"

Under high pressure, no one said anything.

***********

After that, Lu Yuan corrected what he thought was inappropriate, because he had found a way to solve the problem.

Since the mountain doesn't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain!

Since the energy system has been transformed into true qi, the vice-brain that has been replaced with a new type of energy has been like taking a stimulant, and the amount of calculation has directly doubled! Lu Yuan, who has the support of the amount of computing power of the auxiliary brain, can definitely do things beyond the limits of human imagination!

Lu Yuan figured out the details of the salvo of naval guns in this era little by little, it was really very complicated, but it was very rough.

For example, artillery aiming in this era. Basically, it depends on the experience of the gunner. The elevation angle of the cannon is adjusted by prying the wooden block under the barrel of the gun, and it can only be selected between horizontal, 4 degrees, and 8 degrees. Pull the knots on the left and right sides of the cannon to offset the cannon left and right. Lu Yuan directly fixed the firing angle, and then forbade the adjustment of the left and right directions of the cannon.

However, the gunpowder loading is quite complicated, and the full, half, or even one-third gunpowder is completely reloaded according to the gunner's experience. It is said that the mortar has more than a dozen kinds of charges. It cannot be used smoothly by non-professionals.

……

"That's it! Let's do it again! ”

Lu Yuan shouted loudly. The rudder was reinstated.

"Number 1!" August lit the fuse. Three seconds later, with a "boom", the 16-pound medium cannon erupted in flames! The shell cut through an almost straight line. Accurately hit the reef 100 meters away and blast down a piece of rubble!

The gunners were shocked, their mouths wide open and they couldn't close! The sailors of the whole ship were also shocked, and they couldn't close their mouths when they opened their mouths wide! What just happened? No one would have imagined that they would be able to hit with one shot! That's a hundred meters! In today's sea conditions, what even the most elite gunner would not dare to think of, is he possessed by the god of luck?!

"Ah~! Ahhh August beat his chest excitedly and hugged each other with the same crew to celebrate!

"Number 2!" But when he tried to hug Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan ignored him, and continued to give orders with an almost indifferent expression, and at the same time, he fine-tuned the rudder little by little with all his concentration - he now felt that this thing should refine the transmission gear below ten times! Otherwise, it will not be possible to meet his requirements for maneuvering accuracy at all!

The gunner of gun No. 2 ignited the wire with some trepidation, and three seconds later, there was another cannon sound! This time it landed right in front of the reef, less than a meter from the reef! The whole ship let out a cry of regret. But the No. 2 gunner still jumped up excitedly and hugged the guncrew excitedly! This is a near-miss, and it's also remarkable in naval battles!

"The No. 2 gunner always has a smaller charge than others." Lu Yuan silently recorded it in the auxiliary brain.

"Number Three!"

……

One cannon after another fired, sending the sailors from shock to numbness and from numbness to shock. Seven shots, three hits! And the other four also landed near the reef! What kind of hit rate is this?! But the battery is obviously not allowed to adjust the angle of fire, right?! It is not allowed to adjust the left and right, how did you hit?

Only August could see something, and his mouth grew in disbelief. August felt that if he told someone else what he was guessing, that person would think he was crazy!

But Lu Yuan didn't need him to ask questions at all, and directly ordered, "The third round!" Reload now! You still have 4 minutes to chat before you get hanged! ”

So the gunners went to the third round of reloading!

At this time, in Lu Yuan's eyes, countless data were flashing! "The firing curve of the No. 4 gun is 0.6 degrees", "The error of gunpowder combustion is 0.2 seconds", "Nearby sea state and surge model"......

On the sea, ships are chasing each other, and the speed is constantly changing in an extremely complex relative motion! And because of the waves, the boat itself is also rocking longitudinally and horizontally, and the smaller the boat, the more violent the rocking. In this era, there are no giant ships that cannot be shaken by the sea.

And the firing of the cannon itself is much more complicated, artificial charge, the amount of gunpowder cannot be determined; inaccurate firing curves due to problems with the quality of the cannon; When you reload the cannon, you need to drag the cannon back, and then push it back when the reload is complete! The change in position before and after determines that the target of each shot changes......

Among all the factors, Lu Yuan can have a full grasp of the influence. It's just the ship itself! So he fixed the firing angle of the cannon on the battery, prescribed the direction of firing, and first of all ensured that the artillery salvo could be concentrated within a range!

Then, through the calculation of the sea breeze, ocean currents and the movement of the ship itself, Lu Yuan estimated the firing curve of the seven guns at the moment of shooting, and adjusted the posture of the hull in the process, so that the area of the shelling could directly cover the target!

Although it is still impossible to shoot accurately, the probability of hitting will undoubtedly increase greatly!

Naval battles have always been this probability!

"The loader of No. 2, deduct 10 pesos from his salary. Your gunpowder is missing for the second time; The commander of the gun No. 6 was the loader. Every time you push the cannon back, it will shake from side to side, causing misalignment. August, let the people in the powder room make an accurate half-packet, and don't let the gunners estimate for themselves. Then I will draw a line at the position of the gun door. You find someone to carve into a groove. Later, the front wheels of the artillery had to be stuck into the trench in order to shoot! ……”

Lu Yuan explained one item at a time. More than a dozen opinions were made in a row. And made several adjustments to the promotion and promotion of positions. There is also a slight adjustment of the horizontal direction of the gun emplacement, which can further narrow the left and right width of the covered area.

"I remember!" August replied obediently, and the more he looked at Lu Yuan, who was at the helm, the more frightened he became.

"Wait. You...... Ah, no! It's the captain! Captain, you say I get paid? Instead of being frustrated, the No. 2 loader asked in surprise.

"If you continue to ramble, I'll hang yourself from the mast in two minutes! Don't worry, I'll bring your salary to your wife today! Lu Yuan raised his head and said. Hearing that the salary calculation has begun from today, all the gunners remembered their lucrative contract, and suddenly became full of energy!

"This time we're going to have a salvo!" Lu Yuan shouted loudly, "One, two, three, ignition!" ”

The gunners took turns to bring the fire rope to the fuse and ignite it, and then quickly moved out of the way. Three seconds later, a neat gradual firing once again raised a thick white mist, and this time the experienced Lu Yuan let it stay on the side of the ship. And the hull of the ship was pushed outward by a full five meters by this salvo!

When the rhythmic shooting was completed, Jacques on the lookout was the first to shout, "Two out of seven, five close to missing!" It's so beautiful this time! The old sailors on board couldn't help but cheer! This kind of hit rate has never been heard of! But they still can't see how!

"The No. 1 Artillery Group and the No. 3 Artillery Group are full members, and there will be one more round!" Lu Yuan continued to give orders indifferently, and at this time, all the people were actively acting, and there was no longer any doubt! Although I don't know what the road is for, the hit rate of the artillery suddenly increased to a terrifying level! But there is no doubt that the key lies in Lu Yuan!

Everyone peeked at the cold captain in awe.

Lu Yuan's authority was gradually erected.

……

When Lu Yuan drove the boat away from the reef, no one cared about the situation of the idiot on the reef. Look at the reef that has become like a dog gnawing and you will know that the guy above ...... I don't know what is left of the road.

Of the seven groups of gunners, five groups of Shunlin were promoted to official gunners, and the guaranteed salary rose by 30%! The other two groups of gunners were left with only qualified ones, and the others were kicked into the stormtroopers, and the personnel selection was reconducted.

Since then, this rule has been maintained.

After an afternoon of training, on the increasingly gloomy and windy sea, Lu Yuan led the fleet and once again attacked the pirate fleet without hesitation! On the sea, there is no too clear route. In order to catch the sea breeze, the ship always goes around the course repeatedly, rather than strictly following the course. So, perhaps, a gust of wind can cause two ships on the same route, traveling in the opposite direction, two nautical miles apart, to pass by without even seeing each other.

That's why you need a lookout with a keen eye!

Towards evening, Jacques on top of the mast shouted, "I see them!" Northwest Direction! A four-star galleon and a five-star Caravel! ”

"Ring the alarm bell! Raise our flag! It's time to fight! Seeing Lu Yuan's gesture, August yelled with enthusiasm!

A unique flag painted with a kraken was raised and fluttered under the Caribbean sky for the first time! (To be continued......)
