Chapter 231 The First Formation of the Fleet
Sandy has every need to doubt this, because 100 million gold coins is a number enough to scare many people to death.

Even Brigadier General Norrington may not be able to spend so much money all at once...

Feng Yi smiled lightly, reached into his arms with his left hand and made a groping motion, and then handed the banknotes he took out together with the previous stack to Sandy's hands.

"make a deal!"

Looking at those thick silver bills shining with gold edges, Sandy couldn't help but tremble all over.

sky! 100 million gold coins!This was the first time in his life that he saw so many gold coins!
And more importantly, at least one-third of these gold coins will go into their pockets!
"I need to prepare all these ships within an hour, including the modification of the ship's name, the placement of guns and ammunition, etc."

Feng Yi glanced at Sandy's greedy expression, with a trace of disdain hanging from the corner of his mouth.

How can one's own money be so easy to earn?Sooner or later, the entire wealth of Port Royal will be in his pocket!
In fact, Feng Yi has always only had a simple concept of numbers for money. He does not know how to calculate carefully, let alone a miser.

In his view, money is for spending, as long as it can create corresponding value, then he will not be stingy.

Sandy gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes! I will immediately order people to gather most of the shipwrights and slaves, and complete your request within an hour!"

Port Royal is actually not a very good port, but its vertical and sunken coastline is very long, which is suitable for the construction of a huge wharf system, so it has its status today.

The waves slamming on the cliff made a shocking sound, and the other piers in Port Royal were silent, but at the moment, Pier [-] was brightly lit and crowded with people.

Countless figures were busy running amidst the sound of whips, scolding, and urging, and in the darkness before dawn, some huge shadows were straddling the sides of Banqiao.

Those shadows are exactly Feng Yi's fleet that is about to take shape. In Xiwei, there are fiery red lights flashing on both sides of the ship's side and on the flag that symbolizes power on the highest mast.

If you look closely, it is a strange and somewhat frightening pattern.

On the outside, there is a blood-red line that looks like a cluster of flames, and on the inside is a ghost face pattern that is almost exactly the same as Feng Yi's hideous mask.

Under the action of Huoyao powder, the whole pattern can be seen from a distance even in the dim sky.

The deployment of the ship can be completed immediately, and the next step is the selection and allocation of crew members.

At this moment, many people have gathered one after another, but Feng Yi didn't pay much attention to it;
The standard has been explained, and Ian's people will naturally organize the details.

What Feng Yi is really interested in at this time is those crystal cannons and crystal guns, or more precisely, the construction principles of those crystal cannons and crystal guns and the raw materials of ammunition.

Strolling to the sixth-class battleship, Feng Yi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as he stroked the sword traces on the gangway.

This battleship is indeed weather-beaten, but only a ship that is completely accustomed to the violent temper of the Caribbean Sea can exert its strongest strength and be as flexible as a fish.

I picked up a crystal gun from the side and looked it over carefully, and found that its shape was very similar to the original smoothbore gun, but its structure was a bit shocking.

The whole gun does not have the slightest gap to connect, the whole is an all-in-one machine;

And there is no ignition device, and the facilities similar to the hammer and firing pin are all a bronze-colored, crystal-clear unknown material.

This made Feng Yi very depressed. He couldn't figure out where the ammunition was stuffed in. Could it be that it was stuffed into the barrel from the front muzzle like a front-loading gun?

At this moment, Ian took a booklet and walked quickly to the battleship from a distance.

Before Ian could speak, Feng Yi asked suspiciously: "Ian, where did the ammunition for this crystal gun come from?"

Ian couldn't help being taken aback, he really didn't expect Hades to ask such a question...

Although a bit dumbfounded, Ian quickly replied:
"Yan Wang, the crystal bullet is inserted from the muzzle. Under normal circumstances, the gunner needs to use the embedded hook to fix it to the firing groove deep in the barrel;

However, if a gunner is proficient enough, quick-eyed, and experienced enough, he can complete the loading process without the assistance of the embedded hook at all. "

Feng Yi sighed lightly, and nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that it was similar to what he thought.

However, such constraints are in line with the fairness of the game. Otherwise, if a large number of gunners who do not need much strength to operate crystal guns appear on the battlefield, and the guns fire fast, it will be a disaster for the enemy.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not easy to judge whether the crossbowman or the gunner is stronger or weaker. It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

There is no limit to the strength of the gunner, and if the strength of an archer reaches the fourth level and above, then in terms of the distance of the arrows he can shoot, it is not much different from the range of the crystal gun.

Moreover, the shooting speed of the archer is five or six times that of the crystal gunner. With this advantage, the gunner has almost no room for display.

As for archers of the fifth rank and above, except for those who are proficient in using crystal guns, the rest can only be severely suppressed.

However, with such a sharp weapon as the Crystal Cannon, the Crystal Clan can slightly recover some disadvantages.

While Feng Yi was thinking, he came to the back of a crystal cannon...

This sixth-class battleship has three floors, and there should be more than [-] crystal cannons on it. In addition, there are eight large hunting crossbows.

The hunting crossbow was even longer than the crystal cannon, and the arrow dangling on it was nearly three meters long, as thick as an adult's arm, and it was a necessary sharp weapon for hunting large ferocious beasts in the sea.

Compared with the large hunting crossbow that can flexibly adjust the shooting direction, the crystal cannon is undoubtedly extremely clumsy in this regard.

The shape of these crystal cannons is similar to that of the front-mounted smoothbore cannon, but it is shorter, only about 1.5 meters;

On the first floor of the upper deck and the middle floor, crystal cannons are fixed on the deck, and the muzzle protrudes out of the crenel or square muzzle of the side string parapet by one third.

After observation and Ian's description, Feng Yi learned that this crystal cannon is similar to a crystal gun, and its firing principle is driven and maintained by mysterious crystal energy, which has nothing to do with firearms at all.

And Ian also solved Feng Yi's long-standing confusion at the same time.

It turns out that the casting of crystal guns, crystal guns, and the production of ammunition all need something called spar;

The difference is that crystal guns and crystal guns need not only crystals to be added, but also other minerals to be condensed;

The ammunition is entirely made of spar.

The crystal stone is crystal clear and white, and it contains strange and extraordinary energy, which is mined from crystal mines.

However, crystal mines are very rare, so every time a new crystal mine is discovered, it will cause a great battle;

And there are countless battles surrounding the discovered crystal mines. After all, the strategic significance of a crystal mine is too great;

Even if it is just a crystal mine with a small reserve, it is worth fighting with many forces.

Regarding this crystal mine, Feng Yi had never heard of it when he was in Shenzhou, and he rarely visited the official website forum, so he didn't know anything about it.

However, according to Feng Yi's guess, the appearance of this crystal mine should be something created by the system to maintain balance;
After all, the Chinese army is extremely powerful, and some other countries or dynasties also have powerful armies;
But there are still many forces that are not very good at hand-to-hand combat, and what they rely on is historical firearms.

In order to make up for this gap, it is understandable for the system to come up with a substitute.

And the reason why they didn't come up with firearms should still consider the fairness of the game.

After all, in the real world, there are countless military technologies. If the original firearms can exist, then there is no reason why the thermal weapons will not appear.

Technologists are a group of lunatics who have no scruples, as long as they can do it, they won't think about the consequences;
At that time, semi-automatic rifles, grenades, repeating guns, and even aircraft and modern ships may be produced by them.

Thinking about that kind of scene makes people shudder, just like the time when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China in history, the soldiers and righteous soldiers sent their flesh and blood to death with a sense of courage...

Although the aborigines are strong, but in the face of the ravages of planes and tanks, except for the most powerful crowd, how can others resist it?
This should also be the reason why the system stipulates that no thermal weapons will appear?

"Yan Wang, the statistics are all over.

This Youtu ship is 110 meters long and 18 meters wide, and can accommodate 1000 or [-] crew members, with a maximum capacity of more than [-] people;

There are 88 crystal cannons, of which 52 are distributed on the upper deck and 36 are distributed on the middle layer.

Everything is in good condition and there are no hidden worries.

In addition, the left guard, the right guard, and the other fifteen ships are in good overall condition. As long as the supplies are purchased and the crew is in place, they can go to sea at any time.

The entire fleet requires a total of 8000 crew members and can accommodate up to [-] people.

As for the overall firepower of the fleet, the eighteen warships have a total of [-] crystal cannons and [-] hunting crossbows.

At this time, the ammunition and crossbow bolts have all been transported, plus the [-] gunners who are about to be armed with [-] crystal guns, the combat power of our fleet is already strong enough to overwhelm an ordinary medium-sized pirate fleet! "

Ian's voice trembled with excitement, and his eyes were even more fiery.

Such a fleet was beyond his imagination.

The entire fleet is led by the sixth-class warships, and the last is the fourth-class warships. How can such a composition not be called an elite fleet?
And the more than [-] crystal cannons are even more frightening. These are the weapons and equipment that a medium-sized pirate fleet may not have...

Although he still doesn't know what kind of goal Hades has, Ian is full of confidence and fearless at the moment, even if it is attacking the small fleet of the British Royal Navy...

"Very good! It's already dawn, assign people to complete the purchase of supplies as soon as possible, and when the personnel are in place, you should prepare to go to sea!"
