"The situation is not right." Lu Yuan and several adjutants sat on the stern of the ship, looked at the ship not far behind the left of the "Maria", and said dejectedly.

Everyone laughed because it was so obvious that everyone saw it.

Lu Yuan shook his head and had nothing to say.

*

After a short battle, after unloading food and newly rescued slaves on the island of Stray, "Maria" drove into the dock for emergency repairs. The chick took August and all the sailors busy day and night. The white sailors have already said that they will go ashore at the next port. They are fighting for the salary they can get when they leave; young people of color are to become qualified within a short time Sailors study hard.

Lu Yuan is busy building a small country that can improve itself.

When he finally left a few months later, he hoped that the black people on the lost island would survive independently.

Stray Island already has a population base and a simple social structure. A system similar to tribes has been established from scratch. Now Lu Yuan carries new black slaves, which can be easily added. There are still a lot of things missing on the island. In addition to the fact that the food cannot be completely self-sufficient for the time being, daily necessities, weapons, tools, small fishing boats and so on ... Every acquisition. Or commonly used tools picked from the loot, Lu Yuan will owe them a credit at a relatively low price. And the tribe is required to repay by repairing ships, building docks, planting cocoa, etc.

After trying for a month, the Lost Island gradually became able to operate on its own.

Lu Yuan also started as a founder and mentor. Towards the role of a businessman. As for the ownership of the land ... he is not an indigenous person, why would he want that thing?

...

Two days later, the new "Maria" was repaired and attacked again. They sailed south into the deep sea and then east. They bypassed the Spanish control area and entered the "Caribbean Crossroad" again. Strait of Xiangfeng.

After a short stop near Port-au-Prince, the ship unloaded the white sailors who wanted to leave and started chasing its prey again. This time, the news that Helen had to find. Slave ships of the East India Company will pass through the area south of the Port of Saint Martin.

But this time they encountered this annoyance. When they had just left Port-au-Prince, a clipper found them. It was the **** "Blue Bird" who was entangled with them like dog skin plaster.

"Bluebird", Zebeck's three-masted ship (xebek / bragana), a three-masted sailing ship commonly seen in the Mediterranean or Indian Ocean. All three masts are slanting spinnakers. This spinnaker, also known as the Latin sail, was introduced when Lu Yuan grabbed the first boat. There is a diagonal beam above the sail, which is easy to operate. Especially good at snatching winds and headwinds.

Zbek's three-masted ship originated from the Arab Clipper, more streamlined hull and special shipbuilding technology, allowing them to build ships that are much faster than European sailing ships. This is their true ocean pride.

The Europeans' ocean fleets were arrogant and arrogant, but they suffered a lot from the Arabs. They are relying on the advantages of Zbek's three-masted ship's flexibility and speed. Fighting guerrilla warfare with the Europeans above the oceans has blocked the footsteps of the Europeans. Unfortunately. This situation only occurs in the Mediterranean where the wind and waves are not strong. In the Indian Ocean, they also lost terribly. And most of the time it is lost to tropical storm weather!

It is precisely because this kind of boat is more suitable for the sea conditions of the Mediterranean, so it is very rare in the Caribbean region with more wind and waves. Most of what you can see here is its truncated version-the single-mast spinnaker Tanta sailing.

Two ships talked about firepower. Twenty-four 32-pound guns vs. twenty-two 24-pound guns. The "Maria" won. In terms of volume, this ship, although it is also a four-star sailboat, has At the same time as the "Maria", the width and height of the hull are much different. The overall displacement of the ship is only about half of the level, and the cargo load and hull strength are far inferior to the "Maria" .

But her length reached 35 meters, but the hull width was less than six meters, and the aspect ratio was close to the astonishing seven to one! Make her look like a blue barracuda!

Coupled with three easy-to-handle oblique spinnakers, the ship is now swaying around the Maria at a speed of 20 knots. She continued to disrupt the course of Maria and tried to approach, and also used her 24 pound guns to bombard the main mast of Maria ... continued to harass the speed of "only" only 15 knots. Maria.

And she seems to know that the "Maria" artillery is amazingly accurate, so as long as the "Maria" is slightly exposed on the side, she can swish out of range like a rabbit with an arrow. !

Lu Yuan is going crazy, to say that in the late seventeenth century, when sailing ships were only about 10 knots in the late seventeenth century, the speed of 15 knots of the “Malia” was able to finish 80% of the ships. But your sister! Actually drilled a demon with a speed of up to 20 knots! In the case where the speed difference is as large as one-third, even if Lu Yuan's driving skills are even higher, it can't go against the sky.

Not to mention the state of the sea ... Since being shot by Lu Yuan, who pierced Yun Tian, ​​the sea **** Collebso even cursed him in his dream! Crazy curse him! So it is absolutely impossible to stand on his side.

"Don't be angry, it's the fastest boat in the Caribbean." Misha smiled and hugged Lu Yuan's arm, hinting at it between the hills, helping him ease his depression.

Lu Yuankou was a little dry. He subconsciously wanted to say, "Is n’t the fastest ship in the Caribbean Sea the Black Pearl?" But then he swallowed back dangerously, as if the "Black Pearl" is still in the UK. In the shipyard of the people, it has not been built yet. And it is said that it is a three-star magic ship.

This ship is also numbered in Lu Yuan's plan, and he has to check the progress of the ship's construction through Helen at any time. It's just that this ship is a slave ship built by the East India Company. Not a battleship, the standard firepower ... quite average.

So on Lu Yuan's list. The position is backward.

"Bluebird has been famous for a long time. She was a vessel specially prepared by an Arab prince for voyages around the world. But when it first appeared in the Caribbean a few years later, it was already a black flag flying pirate ship. All along, the Bluebird has been relying on her own speed to specifically rob commercial ships that transport valuables such as jewelry and gold. Her alarming speed has caused considerable panic.

But gradually, everyone realized that the speed of the ship was realized by the narrow hull like a fish and the amazing shipbuilding technology of the Arabs. The price is that the narrow and long hull cannot resist the storm. Changlang can break her like a sugar cane! And she can't load larger caliber artillery. Although she can't catch up with her, her threat to us is limited. You just think it's a nasty bug, she won't affect us. "

Looking at the scene where the "Mary" turned around to reveal the side, the "Blue Bird" must run with his legs dropped. Lu Yuan had a sense of sight to see the "Siren" a month ago, and he couldn't help but lose his voice. Laughed out.

"Jin!" He greeted Jin who brought him coffee and took the coffee in his hand. "Today you are at the helm, Kim. When you see it running, you will frighten her slightly by the side of the hull! If she dares to move closer, I grant you the right to order the firing!"

"Follow the order! Captain!" Although the young Jin was wearing his servant's clothes, he still sorted out his clothes and then paid a respectful naval salute.

Lu had coffee at the far end, and returned the gift formally. He smiled and touched his head again, "have you practiced in private for a long time? Then, prepare the adjutant Kim ..."

"Yes. Captain!" Kim stood upright after hearing the order. Excited until the body trembles slightly and looks far away.

"The Maria will be given to you," Lu Yuan pinned the officer's badge on his chest. "I formally handed over the rudder and deck command to reserve adjutant Jin."

"I accept the rudder and deck command!" He shouted loudly, reaching for the wheel with excitement.

Perhaps it was because of the extreme tension in the heart that the teenager's hands were shaking violently, and he couldn't stop at all. He didn't dare to put his hand on the wheel rudder, but just stood there in a daze, his body shaking violently. The double attack of tension and mistakes made his body stiff even struggling to lift his hand, and a heart fell towards the abyss.

Lu Yuan did not intervene. He just smiled and added some pressure to Kim. He wanted to see the potential of this teenager.

But he was surprised to see a shocking scene!

Jin Meng raised his arm and smashed it **** the guardrail beside the boat! With the slap of the slap, the young man's pair of little hands turned blue and purple, and a little blood was spilled! But Jin stubbornly bit his lip and said nothing, as if he were not his own hands, he continued to slap, until he slapped the entire pair of arms carefully.

Although the palms and arms are in pain, all those tense emotions are shot and the whole body is completely relieved from the stiffness.

He pressed his hands softly against the compound wheel rudder, and gave it a soft swing. The wheel rudder made a crisp and rhythmic "click" sound, and turned obediently. The teenager's face that was tense because of pain has changed magically. There were tears in his pure eyes, and the corners of his mouth had been raised happily, showing a bright smile.

"A really good seedling, I have never seen someone who is both talented and resolute!" Lu Yuan returned to the army of officers, and he did not hesitate to praise everyone. He knew that with his evaluation, these people would teach Jin, and the future of the boy was bright.

"Are you only going to run away ?! Asshole!" Auguste snarled by the side of the boat and came back sadly to sit down. In order to prevent the "Blue Bird" from making a sudden attack, he had to take the shift charge and stay on the deck.

"This kind of goods that only run away, only women will like it! It's disgusting to look at that ship's bells and whistles! I bet that the owner of that ship must be a lady!" Auguste Nagging complained, "Captain, we have to find a way to be her! Now everyone is mad at her ..."

"What did you say just now ?!" Keeping your eyes closed, leaning on Misha's arms to recuperate Lu Yuan. Hearing Auguste's complaint, suddenly there was a flash in his mind! Asked hurriedly.

"Me?" Auguste pointed at himself in amazement. He just complained casually on the edge of Lu Yuan. The habitual brushing is just a sense of presence. Jacques said it was important. "I ... I said we should have done the Bluebird ..."

"No, the previous sentence!" Lu Yuan shook his head in denial.

"Front? Oh, I said that the Bluebird looked like a ship that was driven by a lady ... Misha, I don't look down on a woman! You know, her hull is blue, and the sails are white, It looks like the kind of underwear & pants invented by the captain, hahaha ~~~ This kind of boat is a man. Even if it is not a woman, it must be a sissy! "August smiled as if he was very honest , Actually has been explaining to Misha ...

"Blue and white stripe ... whose underwear & pants have you seen?" Misha asked with a smile, pulling a flintlock pistol from her waist. Frightened by the messy words of August, August turned around and fled immediately, and even Lu Yuan couldn't take care of anything! But he had seen the scene where the boss lady pulled a gun and shot the boss. The person who could make a shot deliberately couldn't make a shot, and the person who could dodge it deliberately couldn't avoid it-that scene ... it hurts.

"Don't care about that bastard!" Misha hugged Lu Yuan back. "I think blue and white look good! Including underwear & pants! What's wrong with the girls? The few of us are girls ..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet. I saw Lu Yuan break away from his arms and jumped up again.

"Good-looking! That's right, that's good-looking!" He leaned over to the side of the boat and carefully looked at the "Blue Bird". There was even greed in his eyes. Misha looked at the excited Lu Yuan strangely, and wanted to touch his forehead in the past, saying, "Dear. Have you got a fever?" It should be understood that Lu Yuan is an outright speed party in dealing with ships. But he also pursued fierce firepower. All along, he always equipped the ship with the best artillery to the maximum! Even if it is only a little improvement. He was also reluctant to throw money at the cost.

So Misha never thought that Lu Yuan would be able to see it. This thin-skinned stuffing is like the "blue bird" like a delicious dumpling, but looking at Lu Yuan's appearance now, his expression tells Misha that he is definitely moving heart!

*

At this time, Lu Yuan changed the angle to observe the Bluebird, and he finally noticed the amazing beauty of the boat.

The long and narrow blue hull, the outer shell is painted with dark blue and light blue stripes; it is carved into the bow like a bird flying wings, standing like a bird pecking on the bow. The stern replaced the traditional transom with a wooden shed decorated with gold, and narrowed rapidly, just like the thin waist of the girl ...

Coupled with two big and one small, three white big triangle sails, just like the wings and tail of a bird! It's really worthy of the name "Blue Bird", and it really fits the image!

With the help of a telescope, his abnormal eyesight can even see the delicate patterns on the wall of the "Blue Bird" ship. The bird's bow has a girl's face on its bow. The design of the stern building is definitely art and A model of combination of practicality ... Lu Yuan began to believe that this was indeed a prince's ship. Although it may have fallen into the hands of the pirates and was poorly maintained, almost all patterns and sculptures were somewhat damaged and dull in color.

But Lu Yuan can bet that the art cost of that ship is definitely several times the cost of the ship itself!

"This is the perfect gift I want! No, you can't use a cannon to fight and break her, it's a crime! And Nana won't let me go ..." Lu Yuan squatted by herself He muttered to the side of the boat, and looked at the "Blue Bird" up and down in a frivolous way, "Come, turn around, let the uncle look behind you!"

The most useless "beautiful" in the eyes of others has become the most important value in Lu Yuan's eyes! As a gift to the little girl, a silly, big, black type like a battleship should never be considered. Only the Clippers with beautiful shapes, light postures, bright colors and rich details are the little girls' favorite! He can guarantee that if he captures the ship in front of him, and then transforms her into a yacht, and symbolically installs a few small guns, Nana and Ke Xue will love him!

Even if it is an opportunity to push down ... cough ...

In order to bring Nana a gift back, Lu Yuan can be said to be painstaking.

He has heard of the French super one-star legendary battleship "Sun King". It is said that it is extremely gorgeous, and the interior decoration consumes several tons of gold. Lu Yuan imagined this ship as the classic version of the Dubai Sailing Hotel, and once happily set this ship as the first goal ... but after waiting for the Elizabeth to see it painted ~ www.readwn.com ~ Lu Yuan moment Was knocked down!

Compared to battleships, this ship can only be described as bigger, more silly and rougher!

Nima's speed of ten knots, a hundred cannons, a thousand sailors, and the shape of jj-is this not the sail version of the bb party fetish? ! A gorgeous face! How about a few hundred kilograms of gold decoration? Are you saying that Jin Cancan's big ass?

Lu Yuan is desperate for this world where his aesthetic is completely different ...

Once, he once wanted to use the Kraken as a spare tire, but the Kraken was too common. Since Lu Yuan became famous after driving the "Siren", it seems that overnight and overnight, the Caribbean Sea is full of fast, sharp wind "X demon", not even the Skuna sailing!

Now ... hehe.

Lu Yuan looked at the "Blue Bird" and smiled happily.

It is said that the old man of Trinidad owes me a favor! Before he dies, find him to transform into a great yacht ~! (To be continued ...)
