Chapter 881

Akon laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to do this little thing, the baron has something he wants you to do." If you can prove your loyalty, we will not treat you badly. ”

"Do you want me to be a gunner?" This kid is actually very clever.

"I don't know what else you can do." Akon laughed.

The Red Cloth Pirate patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to turn me into a zombie......"

Akon suddenly sank his face and frightened, "If you don't obey, we have this plan." You know, even if we turn you into the living dead, it won't affect your abilities, and we've saved money for food. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, you have to inquire, Red Cloth Striped Jack is the most loyal and brave sailor in the entire Caribbean!" Red Strip Jack patted his chest and reassured.

"It's going to take time to prove......" Akon ignored him and turned to Stoke and said, "Stoker, I'll leave this guy to you, greet him for me." This kid doesn't know that he hasn't taken a bath for months, and he stinks to death......"

The day after receiving Jack with the Red Cloth, a small auction of stolen goods was held in the Hidden Harbor on the island of Barbados. Zhang Fan's team was naturally invited. Most of the booty looted by pirates was ships and cargo, and there were some good things among them. For example, there are some ship heads, rare items, muskets, swords, cannons, theodolites, etc. The organizer of the auction is the fat man of the Pirate Guild, and this guy is very keen on this kind of thing, because he can salvage another ticket.

Because the Galen merchant ship captured by Zhang Fan's team from Hawkins was too heavy as a prop to fit into the weight space of the ring, it could only be used in this scene. Therefore, Akon didn't care much about the ship. Just thinking about this trial scene before selling the ship and getting more scene wealth. If it weren't for the naval battle with Captain Hook right now, and the Caribbean Sea for the next twenty years, Akon wouldn't bother to rebuild it.

One of the cannons caught the attention of Akon and the Bookdemon at the auction, a bronze cannon mounted on a round cast-iron frame fixed to the deck. The barrel of the gun is very long, close to four meters, and there are six iron hoops on the barrel. The caliber of the gun is 14 centimeters, and it is a Kofilin long-barreled cannon that fires 17-pound shells! Although the ground is fixed on the deck, the direction can be adjusted 360 degrees through the movable turntable at the junction of the chassis and the gun body, and the elevation angle can also be adjusted from near flat to 30 degrees.

According to the analysis of the length of the cannon, the book demon and Akon have a long range of this cannon, and there is a natural rifling in the cast iron chamber of this cannon. This rifling is very shallow, and it is clear that it is not artificially processed, because in this era, although the rifling of the barrel of a musket appeared, the cannon was not yet capable of making rifling.

The rifling of this gun is formed naturally during the casting process of the barrel. And because of this natural rifling, the fired shell is constantly rotating and rubbing in the barrel, and this rifling becomes clearer. That is, with the increased use of this gun, after the rifling was more pronounced, the range of the shells was longer.

With this one-in-a-million natural rifling cast from the barrel, this cannon can be said to have become a wonder with a super long range! According to the ratio of the caliber of the cannon body, as well as the appearance of natural rifling, Akon and the book demon analyzed, the firing range of this large long-barreled cannon can reach more than three nautical miles, and the effective firing range is also more than 800 meters!

In this day and age, there should be no one to beat it! Thus the cannon also has a prefix name:

'Nasty Tongue' (dark green): A large long-barreled cannon with a natural rifling that has a long range! It's a very nasty guy who always spits insidious attacks out of other people's range.
