Of course, it is not a good choice to go to the Americas now, and Krunik is not a fool and wants to develop, so how can he develop quickly after leaving the transit station of Nanmingguo?

They exchanged so much money to come in, didn't it just to be next to Nanmingguo, a transit station connecting modern times and this world, and to buy materials that were not available in this time and space from the current Dingyuan City for the development of their own family!

If you leave Dingyuan City and go to the Americas, you can only go back and forth in a few months or even a year, then the gap between the Morgan family and the natives of this world should only be the understanding of the American continent.

Of course, if Nanming Kingdom came up with that kind of modern steamship in this world now, not to mention the Americas, even if it was the North Pole, they would dare to go, but now it is not nothing!

"Okay, okay! When people get old, they become children, and although my body has become thirty years old, my mind is still in my nineties, and I always want to tease you young people. ”

Ning Siyuan smiled and said, "Okay! It's up to you to decide where you want to go, and now you need a captain.

It's hard to recruit a captain, it's even harder to get a good one, and there are two kinds of captains at Cape Storm. ”

"The first type is those who have been out to sea, know how to use things like sextants and compasses, can read nautical charts, run to the sea without losing their way, and have the ability to judge whether there are reefs under the water through hydrology, and how to keep their boat from being photographed to the bottom of the sea by the wind and waves when they see the wind and waves coming."

"That is, an experienced old captain, of course, looking at the charts. With a sextant, a compass these. The gentleman next to you, who retired from the Navy, should be up to the task, if he hadn't been in the army until he retired. ”

"But. How to drive a sailboat to survive in the wind and waves should be his shortcoming, so his ability is similar to that of the second type of captain. ”

"The second type of captains, they don't know how to read charts, they don't know how to use sextants, they don't even know how to read, they're just sailors, and they've saved enough money. Brave enough to buy a small boat to walk along the coastline, once such a captain is blown by the wind and waves into the ocean far from the coast, they have only one result, and that is death. ”

In fact, if there is still a good captain in Dingyuan City, it is the fat man who let him out, because if he is really a good captain, then he will definitely be invited to enter the navy of Dingyuan City in Nanming Kingdom.

Of course, there is another option. That is the student who graduated from the Maritime Academy in Dingyuan City.

For example, Peter.

Peter was only a sailor before, he has been a sailor for ten years, and if anyone does not believe that his ship is already ten years old, then. He'll open that half-lost mouth and tell you that this is the proof!

This is evidence that you have been out to sea, and there is nothing wrong with that. Just look at the gums that have lost half of the tooth to know that the tooth was not smashed with a fist. Rather, he had sepsis, and by looking at the gums, he knew that it was a feature that had festered and then healed.

Sepsis. Then there is only one reason, and that is that this old sailor who was already adrift on the far seas before the bloody count of the East in Dingyuan City arrived in Europe.

Because since the Bloody Count of the East came to Europe, the Europeans knew that using beer instead of water on ships, bringing garlic seeds to ships and planting them in pots, could minimize the loss of personnel going to sea, or even none.

You must know that in the past, sailors went to the open sea, then they had to leave a last word, because every time they went to the open sea, someone must die, just depending on the captain's ability, whether to die more or less.

And the biggest cause of death is sepsis.

So, Peter managed to prove that he was ten years old with his half-toothed mouth.

Of course, there is also his ability, whether it is the oars of the old type of ship, or the retracting and releasing of the sails of the new ship, the maintenance of the sails, and the repair of leaks in the seams of the ship, etc., he does a better job than ordinary people.

Ten years of sea life has allowed him to know what kind of situation the ship will have, what kind of problems will occur, what kind of wind and waves will occur at sea, and how his ship must face the wind and waves in order for his ship to survive in the wind and waves.

Ten years is enough time for a sailor to grow into a qualified captain.

However, he had a hard flaw, and that was that he was illiterate.

Illiterate, he couldn't read charts, he couldn't read a sextant, short distances, or an old route, he could still recognize it, but if it was a new route, he might get lost.

But now he has solved all this, because after receiving the decree of Dingyuan City, Storm Point has built a maritime academy to recruit people like Peter who want to be a good captain but have many shortcomings.

Uniformly, systematically learned the knowledge that can be used at sea now, such as literacy, then reading charts, and then using artillery, etc.

For the use of artillery, as long as you know the Nanming Navy, you will understand, to be able to skillfully and rationally use artillery, how powerful it must be, if you still don't understand, see the pirates on the sea now as long as they hear that the Nanming Navy is coming to encircle and suppress them when they run faster than sharks.

You must know that in the past, when the European navy encountered pirates, everyone had to fight until they were tired and half dead, and in the end they didn't know who would win, but now compared with the navy of the Southern Ming Kingdom, the gap is not ordinarily large.

The power of artillery, do you need to talk about it?

Today, it was a good day for Peter to finish all his studies at the Maritime Academy and get his certificate from the Academy.

So he set up a table in the best tavern in Dingyuan City, and beckoned his best friend to have two drinks.

In fact, he was showing off, you know, he has been on the ship since he was fourteen years old, even if he has been on the ship for ten years, but he is only twenty-four years old, although in this world twenty-four years old is already too mature to be mature, after all, the average age of this era is thirty or forty years old.

But it's not that you won't do this kind of thing when you're mature, but no matter what age you are, you have a stinky nature.

Peter planned to use the gold he had saved for ten years to buy a dhow, a ship of his own, and run the route from Cape Storm to Casablanca, and in two years he would be able to change to a big ship......

Peter...... Peter...... Excuse me, can I come in? "Outside the door was an Oriental man with black hair and black eyes.

Oriental?

In addition to the Bloody Earl of the East, the only Oriental people in Dingyuan City are those who came out of the temple, Skywalker.

But what is Skywalker looking for himself?

But it was impossible for Peter to refuse, although Skywalker had to abide by the same laws as himself in Dingyuan City, and even stricter, but no one dared to underestimate these people who came out of the temple.

Even if it's an inconspicuous person.

"Yes, I can also ask you for a drink, today is a great day for me, Mr. Peter, to graduate from the Maritime Academy, so I have to treat you to a drink, strange friend!" Peter called in the guy and brought the Skywalker a large beer.

The other party didn't shirk, picked up the big cup and touched it with Pete and drank the wine in the cup in one go: "Cool!" Thank you for the wine, Peter, then, do you want to be the captain of a big ship? Big ship! (To be continued......)
