Chapter 1723 Set sail

Chapter 1723 Set sail
Lu Chuan just wanted to keep it simple. Otherwise, with Lu Chuan's ability, not to mention the musketeer or swordsman who applied for the armed forces department, but also the accountant, the warehouse manager, the deputy, and the gunner on the ship... there is no one that Lu Chuan can't do.

This Neptune is currently the top armed merchant ship in the Star Empire, and it contains a series of current high-tech.

However, Lu Chuan scoffed at the high technology of the seventeenth century.

What I have mastered is even the technology of the ninth-level civilization. For the civilization of this planet, these technologies are completely theological-level technology.Taking the star gun as an example, they couldn't even imagine what this gun could do.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire planet cannot withstand a single shot from the star gun, and it will explode directly.

There is no problem for Lu Chuan to operate a sailing vessel.

But how tiring it is, you have to keep an eye on the post all the time.

But unloaders are different. They are not even sailors, they just carry goods.They go aboard the ship, go out with the ship, and return with the ship. They load the goods on the ship before departure, and unload the goods when they arrive at the destination.

During the voyage, they are free, as long as they don't break into important places, they are completely free people on the deck.

The reason why the Neptune needs to recruit personnel this time is mainly because it experienced a naval battle before and encountered a pirate fleet. Relying on its strong firepower, the Neptune, an armed merchant ship, forced the pirate fleet back.

Of course, the Neptune also suffered a lot of damage, not only to the hull, but also to the crew.

After a month of repairs, the current Neptune is about to set sail, and naturally the crew needs to be replenished.

It is said that the stevedores will not be needed, after all, they can't help during the fight, so they can only stay in the cabin.But the thing is so strange, the side of Neptune's ship was pierced by a shell, which happened to be the room on the floor where the stevedores were located. This shell smashed six stevedores and injured three of them.

This is still the power of a solid bullet. If it were an explosive bullet, I am afraid that none of the twenty or so stevedores would survive.

Lu Chuan didn't deliberately inquire, but he still knew a little bit from the chats of the gunners here.

The gunner should be the most technical and important position in the entire ship. This armed merchant ship is equipped with 72 cannons. It is definitely armed to the teeth. It is not even worse than ordinary sailing battleships. The largest sailing battleship is only equipped with 108 guns.

Each cannon requires three gunners to operate, and these 72 cannons alone require more than two hundred gunners, and counting the backup gunners, the number of gunners has reached an astonishing 300.

Not only that, but also musketeers, they will be arranged on the ship's side during the war, just to prevent the opponent's boarding battle.

Except for musketeers, there are swordsmen. They are responsible for melee combat. Generally speaking, they are rarely used. Once they are used, the result is the worst.

The number of musketeers plus swordsmen is about 60.

Next, there are the sailors, who are responsible for operating the ship, and the number is about 50 people.

Counting all the big and small bosses, as well as stevedores like Lu Chuan, the crew of the entire Neptune has reached 450, a very large quota.With this strength, the Neptune can be used as a warship.

With more staffing, the expenses will naturally be greater. The cargo hold of the Neptune is not comparable to that of a specialized trading ship, and the cargo it carries is much less.

After the trip, Lu Chuan heard from the gunners that he didn't actually make much money.

Only when the goods carried by a certain ship are popular in the local area, the profit will be considerable.

In fact, the main source of profit for the Neptune is to be the team leader and escort the ship. After all, the firepower of the Neptune is too powerful, and it is not inferior to a warship.Among the pirates, it cannot be said that there is no one better than the Neptune, but there are really not many.

Lu Chuan doesn't talk much, and he still listens to them more often, so as to know the information of this era.

After going through this, there is an indescribable sense of freshness, and it should be said that I participated in it.The current era of this planet is too similar to the earth, which makes Lu Chuan have a lot of illusions, which seems to be another parallel space of the earth.

Each universe is actually a different parallel space. The difference is that the bead where each governor is located, and its universe is different.

Like the human beads in Lu Chuan's hands, there are billions of trillions of parallel spaces in the universe.

Moreover, the time nodes of these parallel spaces are quite different. After all, the development of the earth in each universe is not static. There may be some events that will cause the earth to go another way.

In this way, the reference value of the parallel space is not great. The development of the earth in each universe is different. Some are similar, but some are completely the development of two concepts.

Meera's charm, in just three days, was enough to recruit the people she needed.

Those who can meet the conditions are all the best among them.

In this way, the strength of the Neptune has been restored, and it has been slightly improved.

Of course, besides admiring Mera, the people who arrived were also paid a lot of money by the Neptune.In this era, only money is the most important thing. What they board the ship regardless of life and death is actually money.

During these three days, what Lu Chuan heard in his ears was naturally more of a man-centered way of chatting, such as what kind of women in the port are good enough, who and so met what kind of top-notch women, etc., and occasionally he would be a little timid. Big one, put the fantasy object on Meera.

Sailors have been at sea for many years, and naturally they need these most.

There are naturally women who can satisfy them everywhere in each port, so the money they earn will be squandered almost as soon as they stop at the port.

On the fourth day, following the call of the steward, Lu Chuan and other [-] unloaders arrived at the pier.

Here, a large amount of goods were brought in one after another, and Lu Chuan and the others needed to move all these goods into the cabin.

This job is very simple and not complicated, as long as you are careful and don't make mistakes.

Lu Chuan took a look at the goods, and found that there were many kinds of goods, from tea to glass products, to iron products, and then silk and so on.This world is not the earth, so the output of items is naturally very different.

Lu Chuan didn't have the heart to figure out these goods, and he didn't need money. He was on this ship just to experience what it was like to be a sailor.

"Leave the heaviest one to me, and you can carry the light one." Lu Chuan said, which naturally attracted the gratitude of the other unloading workers.

Lu Chuan can easily carry two to three hundred catties of cargo and stride onto the ship.

This move, I don't know how many people gasped, this is definitely a natural supernatural power.This kind of person is definitely at the level of a monster. To know how many people there are, more than a hundred catties is already the limit.Looking at Lu Chuan's relaxed appearance, he is far from reaching his upper limit?

The gunners on the ship, they have nothing to do now, pointing at Lu Chuan and others below from the side of the ship, laughing from time to time.

"So what if you look good, so what if you have strength, can't you just be a coolie?"

"If it were me, it would be better to find a rich woman to take care of me than to be an unloader here."

"Tell me, does this guy look strong and powerful, but in fact he's just an idiot, the kind who just slaps on the bed hastily? Or why doesn't he eat soft food and come here to work as a coolie?"

The rare topic aroused the interest of these gunners, and they chatted enthusiastically and kept guessing.

Of course Lu Chuan could hear clearly. He didn't have any disturbances in his heart, and he didn't teach them a lesson.Moving these goods made Lu Chuan feel like he had participated in this era. It was very fresh, and it was naturally fun to work.

It took a full three days to move the cargo of a ship before it was finally filled.

The 20 unloading workers were exhausted, and only Lu Chuan seemed to be fine.

Mela was not on board, and the Neptune was temporarily in charge of the first mate, a retired rear admiral with 40 years of sea experience. He has retired and served as the first mate under the high salary of the Neptune.

After the cargo is full, it is the replenishment of supplies.

A large amount of fresh water and dry food were loaded onto the ship, such as vegetables and fruits, and there was a lot of meat. One supply can last about one and a half months of voyage. Since the route is established, it will pass by every few days. For a port, this supply is enough.

Everyone on the ship knew that they were about to set sail, so their expressions became a little more serious.

On this day, Mela definitely came in a carriage, along with many young and old people in the port, they were greedy for the beauty of Mela, and wanted to get it one by one.It's a pity that Meera's status and strength make them dare not use violence at all, and they can only pursue it through normal means.

Meera didn't seem to show any embarrassment to these young and old. When she got here, she boarded the Sea King with her luggage and several guards, but these young and old were all stopped overboard.

When the captain arrived, the crowd no longer dared to slack off. Under the yelling of the steward, they made the last inspection of this armed merchant ship.

After confirming that there was no problem, Meera gathered all the crew members together. She stood on the deck and said vigorously: "Most of them are old people, and everyone knows my style of behavior, so I won't say much. Everyone, work hard. Let's have a smooth ride."

Mela said very little, and when she finished speaking, she disbanded.

Of course, some ceremonies before going to sea are still indispensable, but they are done by the first officer.

When the sun was shining all over the land, the Neptune hung up its sails amid the roar of the sailors, and then left the pier, and stopped again after leaving the port. About an hour or so, the size of a dozen ships Trade ships of 30-50 meters were added to the fleet headed by Neptune.

"Full sails."

The first mate shouted, and he stood on the highest deck directing.

Under the advice given by the surveyor, the stewards took the sailors under their command to fill up the sails and then adjusted the direction of the sails. Under the force of the wind, they pushed this huge armed merchant ship to ride the wind and waves.

The huge sails were raised by the sailors exhausted their breastfeeding strength.

The Neptune, which had benefited from the power, adjusted its direction amidst bursts of sound, and began to continuously increase its speed.

The large and small ships behind got the banner of the Neptune, and they also filled their sails.

Now is the time for tailwinds, and the speed of this fleet is not expected to slow down in the next few hours.The sailing time has been calculated, and it is most in line with the sailing. If the wind is down, the speed can be increased and the destination can be reached earlier.

In the age of sail, the speed is uncontrollable. When the wind is down, the speed is fast, and when the wind is against the wind, the speed is slow.

Lu Chuan walked out of the cabin, stood on the side of the ship, and looked at the endless sea. Behind the fleet, this huge port was constantly being pulled away and gradually disappeared on the water level.

Here, there are many ships coming and going, but in the future, there will be fewer and fewer ships, and even ten days and a half months will not meet a ship.

"The Age of Discovery, here I come."

Lu Chuan was in a good mood.
