Chapter 425: Sailing Out to Sea
The long banks of the river are flanked by endless greenery, occasionally dotted with a few perennial mountains, and the almost endless forests are an important source of income for the current Earls of Daystar
In addition to timber, through the investigation of Tianzhumen, a long-dormant coal mine was found nearby, which made Shui Chaoyang happy to laugh at night, the huge coal mine can not only be exported by sea, but also meet the heating problem in the territory, there is a coal mine, smelting technology will also develop day by day.
It's just that there aren't too many ships yet, and the port's transportation capacity is also quite worrisome, and everything has to be done step by step, and the lords in the Earldom of Daystar suddenly have a feeling that since the arrival of the new lord, the days of chaos and chaos have suddenly become bright, and there are things of hope everywhere.
A large crimson ship sailed proudly in the middle of the river, gradually leaving the narrow river channel and entering the nearby inland sea, the strange coffin-like ship that looked like a large ship did not look like a cargo ship or a warship, and was a completely different thing compared to the ships that ordinary people often see.
Among the current warships, the popular wooden battleships are still wrapped in copper skin, generally between fifty and sixty meters in length, hundreds of guns are installed on the ship, and the larger warships can sail for more than half a year.
However, it is said that there have been super warships of more than 200 meters long on the side of Yongguo, and it seems that one alone is enough to sweep the navies of all countries, of course, it is just a legend.
Although this large ship is also nearly forty meters long, it does not have any weapons on board, not a single cannon, and still uses the traditional three-masted sail structure, if there is any advantage, most of the only thing left is speed.
The rooms on the ship were also narrower than expected, but there were not many people on board, and there were only thirteen people in total, including Jiao Mu, who led the way, which was a bit unlucky, but sailors who begged for a living at sea did not seem to have this taboo.
"Berryberry, are you alright?"
Qiu Wuyi handed the water to the pale Liuberry berry, it was already the second day, she didn't seem to have used to the bumps of the sea, and she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday.
The sea is not so friendly, and humans are clearly better suited to land.
"I didn't ...... Never mind...... I was negligent...... At this time, if there is medicine......"
Liuberry leaned on the folded quilt and shook to take the water handed over by Qiu Wuyi, barely squeezed out a smile, and with a shake of his fingers, he almost dropped the water glass on his body.
"Be careful!"
Qiu Wuyi's eyes were quick, and he pinched the little hand of the willowberry berry, which avoided an accident.
As a pharmacist, she was seasick, and she couldn't be blamed, she had never seen the real sea since she was born, let alone the power of the sea, although she knew a few prescriptions for seasickness, but she didn't have any medicinal herbs at hand.
In the other room, Jiao Mu stayed there with a calm expression, and there was no seasickness medicine to sell, and the same was true for the sailors on board, and it was not a passenger ship, so it was impossible to prepare so much.
"Brother...... It's okay, leave me alone...... Take a break...... ...... for a few days off"
Before he finished speaking, the big ship suddenly shook, and the face of the willowberry suddenly became even more ugly.
"Medicine, by the way, is there any medicine that can be found temporarily at sea?"
Although he knew in his heart that seasickness could be solved by getting used to it, the painful appearance of the willowberry berry really couldn't reassure Qiu Wuyi, and he couldn't think of a way to think about it.
"Yes...... Yes, yes...... Heard...... The fish gallbladder of the red flying fish...... Apply it to the temples to ......"
"I'll take a look! You have a good rest first! If you feel uncomfortable, call someone quickly!"
Qiu Wuyi rushed out of the room without thinking about it, and didn't ask what the red flying fish was and if there was anything around.
"Hey......"
Raspberry stared at the closed door with a gloomy expression, biting her lip hard.
"Little brother, what's wrong?
Rushing out in a hurry, Qiu Wuyi climbed the steps to the deck, and as soon as he went out, he almost bumped into the oncoming person.
"Hello, Mr. Captain. ”
Qiu Wuyi looked at it, and the person in front of him was none other than the captain of the ship, Yuhu.
The fish tiger is a bearded man who is not easy to see his age, the ends of his beard are braided into braids of different sizes, he is born with a tiger's back, he is blind in one eye, and his left hand is not known to be injured, and now there is only an iron hook left, which is the type that is afraid that others will not see that he is a pirate.
Naturally, the ship brought by Jiao Mu, even if it was a pirate, was also a pirate belonging to Tianzhumen, and Qiu Wuyi didn't ask too much about this.
"Little brother, now that you have entered the sea, do you want to go to the deck to see the fish on the net today? ”
Although Captain Yuhu was born with a fierce appearance, he was a talkative and gentle person, but because of this, Qiu Wuyi was a little disappointed, in his imagination, such a man should hold a wine barrel in one hand and a short gun in the other hand and shoot all the way and sing all the way.
"Ah, Mr. Captain, there's something I'd like to ask, is there any flying fish around here?"
happened to catch the captain, Qiu Wuyi finally remembered his omission and hurriedly asked.
"Flying fish, flying fish is just in time, there are many flying fish in the south of the sea, usually there is no north, fortunately in May and June they will come to the north to spawn, you can definitely see it outside, but what do you want this thing to do? big fish are there! haha!"
The fish and tiger is worthy of being a man who works the sea, and when it comes to aquatic products, he is like a few treasures, and he doesn't ask much, and he tells the matter thoroughly in 1510.
"Thank you!"
Qiu Wuyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed towards the side of the ship, and out of curiosity, Yuhu also followed.
The moment he put his hands on the side of the ship, Qiu Wuyi's vision was immediately frozen by an infinite silver white.
Instead of the sea, the silver was a myriad of fish that converged into ng, vigilantly leaving the boat's path and stretching far beyond the horizon as far as the eye could see. I don't know how many fish are on their own journey, and one by one the palm-length fish jumped out of the sea, and actually spread their wings and glide at a height of more than ten meters, flying hundreds of meters.
"That's the flying fish, they don't usually fly, because they are scared by the boat, you just wait, and there will be a lot of seagulls coming to catch them, and that's also very interesting. ”
The fish tiger pointed at the fish with an iron hook and explained that there are many landscapes on the sea that cannot be seen on land.
"Flying Fish...... Mr. Captain, why are the flying fish all silvery white, and what does the red flying fish look like?"
Standing on the side of the boat and observing for a while, Qiu Wuyi didn't see the so-called red flying fish, all the flying fish were a touch of color.
"Red Flying Fish, little brother, you still know a lot, Red Flying Fish is the king of every flying fish group, and it is also the most courageous of this group of flying fish, and it will never fly in normal times, unless the danger is particularly close to it. You can't do that, you see our boat is too big, and with the guts of the Red Flying Fish, by the time it starts to get scared, the boat will already crush it to pieces. ”
The tiger hung the iron hook on the side of the ship and raised his right hand intact.
"So it's just a little smaller......"
Qiu Wuyi's gaze fell on the stern of the boat, where several sailors were processing the fish they caught, and as the fish tiger said, there were several fat and large blue fish in the net, each weighing hundreds of pounds.
Just as a sailor below was calling for the fish tiger, he said goodbye to Qiu Wuyi and returned to the cabin.
Fish, the shape of a fish.
Qiu Wuyi walked quickly to the stern of the boat, leaned down, and began to discuss certain things with the sailors.
Five or six minutes later, there was still no sign of abating, and the red flying fish generally swam in the center of the school, very close to the current position of the big boat.
The fish tiger, who was busy in the cabin, suddenly heard an excited cry from above, and wondered in his heart, opened the door of the captain's room and walked to the upper deck, wanting to see what was going on.
"Captain!
A water finger pointed to the distant sea and shouted.
Hearing this, the fish tiger rushed to the side of the boat in a few steps, followed the direction of the water finger and looked far away, and immediately opened his mouth wide.
A strange fish composed entirely of metal threads rampaged through the school of flying fish, Qiu Wuyi stood on the back of the big fish, pulling the strings of his fingertips back and forth with both hands, causing the tail of the metal fish to swing forward. The fish tiger has been rampant at sea for decades, and naturally it will not make a fuss because the metal is floating on the water, but the metal fish is clearly only a small skeleton, neither waterproof nor closed.
When the fish tiger took a closer look, some ripple-like ripples faintly appeared on the abdomen of the metal fish, and it seemed that it was these ripples that cut off the seawater.
The tip of the nose of the metal monster fish has a long sharp thorn, this kind of fish is called a swordfish, many flying fish pierced by the sword are inserted into the spine and struggle, under the clever manipulation of Qiu Wuyi, the tip of the swordfish's nose is thrown around fiercely, throwing the stabbed flying fish to the sea, and soon it becomes a seagull's meal.
"Red Flying Fish!"
Although the fish tiger only has one eye, this eye is extremely sharp, and it instantly catches the bright red that leaps out of the silver light.
Bigger than ordinary flying fish, the red flying fish, which is almost the length of Qiu Wuyi's arm, finally realized the danger coming, and flapped its powerful fins and jumped out of the sea.
The flying fish glided at an extremely fast speed, and if it didn't care, it would slip away, Qiu Wuyi naturally wouldn't give it this chance, and at the moment when the red light just flashed in front of its eyes, the more agile strings had already wrapped around it firmly.
"Pull him into the Heavenly Judgment Gate...... How much did it cost you?"
Yuhu didn't look back, he knew that Scorched Wood was behind him.
"Quite high, just to get this far, it cost the price of at least two territories, and maybe more in the future. ”
Scorched Wood opened his mouth, his voice so low that only the fish tiger could hear it......
"I've heard that when the Red Flying Fish disappears from the Flying Fish, the biggest Flying Fish will become a new Red Flying Fish, so that the school will always have a leader. ”
The fish tiger groaned thoughtfully, waving his hand to slow the ship down for a moment, waiting for the return of Qiu Wuyi, who had caught the spoils of war.
