Pirate Kingship

"The best in the world! Title special effects!"

A huge surprise suddenly hit, and Byron, the designer and owner, was stunned.

Whether it is a person, a ship or a [holy relic], the [titles] deeply rooted in their hearts represent real power.

Naturally, among these titles are various famous names such as the best in the world!

For example: the world's first matchlock; the world's first cannon; the world's most powerful gunpowder formula; the world's fastest horse.

These are all well-known in the extraordinary world.

Of course, just fame and legend are not enough.

If a media tycoon spreads false news every day through the newspapers he controls, claiming that he is the richest person.

Even if thousands of people are deceived into believing that he is the richest man, they will not get the corresponding title.

Because the name is not worthy of the name!

The owner of the [Title] must have truly influenced history through a certain event, or is about to influence history without any doubt, in order to be recognized by the law and the world.

The matchlock gun changed the mode of war; artillery is the god of war; the fastest horse can improve horse breeds, improve transportation efficiency and cavalry strength

And the real influence on the world is more important than the former.

The same goes for the [Golden Deer], which represents the current highest speed of the three-masted sailing ship.

Maybe someone used forbidden knowledge, rare objects, or other extraordinary means to make the ship run faster than the [Golden Deer].

However, the design and construction process of the "Golden Deer" can be replicated on a large scale, improving the overall level of the shipbuilding industry for all mankind.

Even after Byron, the inventor, passed away.

Other [craftsmen] and [naturalists] can also directly see the most original first-hand information in the inventor's mind from the public library of the Law Network!

The inheritance of civilization is a great contribution.

This is the victory of knowledge and the victory of human civilization.

[The fastest three-masted ship in the world] Effect:

On the basis of the designed normal speed, it can be increased by an additional 20%, and the impact of severe weather such as strong waves, strong winds, and heavy rains on it will be reduced by 20%.

But it may be because this ship is a modified version, and it still lacks the V-shaped bottom and 5:1 aspect ratio from the most complete version on the design drawings.

There is still considerable room for improvement.

Therefore, it was the name [Golden Deer] that won the title of "the fastest three-masted sailing ship in the world", not the ship itself.

If Byron rebuilds any three-masted battleship in the future, just give it the name [Golden Deer] and it can inherit all the special effects!

The records of the pirate ship in the [Navigation Log] have also changed drastically.

"[Golden Deer]: A Tudor-type three-masted hybrid sailing ship that was improved from a Galen-type sailing ship.

Specifications: Total length 23.5 meters, width 6 meters, draft 2.55 meters, displacement 200 tons, maximum basic speed of 11 knots, bonus speed of 13 knots, capacity of 100 people, actual 56 people.

Armament: After heavy outfitting, there are seven 6-pound cannons on each side of the open deck and a 32-pound carronade gun on the aft deck.

Sail rigging: bow staysail (lifting sail), foremast, mainmast and mizzenmast.

Title special effects: The world's fastest three-masted sailing ship.

Extraordinary pirate officers: Captain [Wild Hunt·Storm Knight] Byron; first mate [Iron Wall·Oath Knight] Bruh; second mate [Phantom Blade] Gus.

Contract object: 27 alienated man-eating sharks. "

Although this kind of mixed sailing ship is small in size and cannot carry a few large-caliber artillery pieces, it is of little significance to the naval fleet in a frontal naval battle.

But it can be said that he was born for privateering activities.

Particularly worth mentioning is the terrifying 32-pound caron gun on the rear deck that is covered with a rain cover and looks like a monster.

This was the last tearful sale from Golden Palm Trading Company before they left.

Although Byron almost emptied most of his savings on the Golden Deer, in his opinion, everything was worth it.

The profiteer Michael may make some profit, but he will definitely not lose.

This type of artillery has a large caliber and a short barrel, between a mortar and a cannon.

Instead of a regular cannon, which is usually cast in one piece, it is machined using a boring machine.

The hydraulic flywheel drives the barrel to rotate, and gradually pushes a fixed iron column into the solid barrel and drills out of the barrel.

The barrel shape is more regular than the cast barrel.

The connection between the spherical projectile and the inner wall of the barrel is tighter, so the gunpowder gas is less likely to leak when firing, and the effective thrust is greater.

The barrel walls can be made thinner and the projectile made larger.

Therefore, the lethality at a distance of tens of meters greatly exceeds that of standard artillery of the same weight.

The carronade gun, which fires a 32-pound projectile as big as a grapefruit, weighs only one-third of a standard artillery gun of the same caliber.

A 32-pound long cannon used as the main gun of a second-level battleship often weighs 3 tons, while the same 32-pound carronade weighs less than 1 ton.

It's almost the same as a 12-pound or 9-pound standard artillery that fires fist-sized projectiles.

The final victory in robbing a merchant ship must be the boarding battle. The carronade can intimidate the merchant ship with high firepower output at close range, and even sweep across the opponent's open deck.

Byron believes that although not many people know the goods yet, this kind of artillery will definitely shine on pirate ships and even small warships in the future.

The profiteer Michael still sold it cheaply.

"Take a secondary ship's main gun to rob?

Cruel! So cruel!

High-speed maneuverability, both long-range cannons and short-range carronades, capable of long-range and short-range attacks.

This ship will surely become a nightmare for all enemies in the future.

The only shortcoming is that the Marine Corps is not strong enough to have an overwhelming numerical advantage over ordinary merchant ships.

But as long as the battle in Iron Anchor Bay is successfully passed, personnel will no longer be a problem. "

Looking left and right, Byron simply couldn't let go of the big baby he created with his genius idea.

It was already just under the "tentacles".

At this time, near the waterline, a series of dark shark fins cut through the water and ran into the distance.

Those were the twenty-seven alienated man-eating sharks that served as knife-carrying guards.

After they ate [Blood Eye] Salman and dozens of secondary ghouls that were transforming in one breath, their bodies expanded a lot.

The blood in their eyes almost condensed into substance.

There was no need to feed them with living people every three days as in the past. They could completely use the blood wine produced by the extraordinary people instead.

And the effect was much better than that of humans.

Feeding them a few more times could completely solidify the control effect, and it would become an extension of Byron's eyes and ears.

"Turn, headwind, sail close to the wind! "

Just as Byron ordered to turn around and return to continue testing the ability of the fore-and-aft sails to catch the wind.

"Report to the captain, at ten o'clock, about seven nautical miles (1 nautical mile = 1.85 kilometers) away from our ship, there seems to be something wrong with the movement path of a group of fog.

It's coming towards us!"

The lookout on the mast suddenly issued an abnormal warning.

At the same time, the group of man-eating sharks also caught a strong smell of blood in the sea water in the north, and they all became a little agitated.

Byron's [weather intuition] did not fall behind, and he immediately sensed the abnormal weather changes on the opposite side.

Looking up, he saw a group of white fog in the distance floating straight towards him.

And in the depths of the fog, there was a huge black shadow, drifting closer and closer along the ocean current along the coast of the ice field.
