Chapter 1724 Popularity
The speed of the Neptune is not bad, but the speed of the large and small merchant ships following it is not high, so the Neptune needs to adjust its speed.

After moving away from the port, as the course was adjusted again, it became to sail against the wind.

In this way, the speed of the fleet is even slower, almost like a snail.

This kind of speed, in Lu Chuan's opinion, is really too slow.But people in this era don't have this kind of feeling.

Driving against the wind, the speed suddenly decreases. Anyone who is familiar with this route knows that this is normal. They will drive against the wind for three full days, adjust their direction, and leave the sea area in this area. Will sail again with the wind.

In this area, it still belongs to the sea area of ​​the starry sky empire, and there will be naval fleets appearing here from time to time, so there is no problem with safety.

That's why, during this part of the journey, the movement of people is not restricted.

Lu Chuan walked to the deck and watched the sailors struggling to operate the sails. They needed constant adjustments to ensure that they could gain power in the headwind.In the case of headwinds, they are also the hardest.

Lu Chuan leaned on the ship's side, folded his arms and watched the sailors try their best to control the sails. This kind of instant vision is far from what can be compared in the movie.

There are very few people like Lu Chuan, and most of them stay in the room.

"Come here and help."

A sailor shouted, who in the whole ship doesn't know that Lu Chuan is a strong man?

Lu Chuan smiled, but did not refuse, but walked over.

"You can do whatever I tell you later, do you understand?" the sailor grinned.

Lu Chuan nodded.

In fact, driving against the wind mainly depends on how to adjust the angle so that the sail can obtain the power in the headwind.This requires experience, and is usually directed by an experienced steward.

Don't think that the era of great voyages is magnificent, it's just that you look at it from a historical perspective. When you are in this era, you won't feel it.Here is full of darkness, full of injustice, full of blood and violence.

Take a ship as an example. You need to learn a lot of things in it. Everyone has a very hard life. After all, it is really not easy to drive such a huge sailing armed merchant ship.

Soon, the steward gave instructions through the rotation and direction of the wind signal.

"The mainsail is turned 17 degrees to the left and raised 3 meters, the jib is 6 degrees, and the jib is 11 degrees."

After getting the order, the following sailors will execute it.

"Quickly, raise it three meters." The sailor yelled, Lu Chuan nodded, and without using much force, he had already precisely raised the huge mainsail, which required several sailors to pull, by three meters.

Before and after is just a breath, Lu Chuan has already completed this extremely difficult task in the eyes of hand sailors.

All the sailors were dumbfounded.

Lu Chuan did it with one hand, which several of them could do. Judging by Lu Chuan's appearance, it seemed that he didn't even have the strength.If they hadn't been operating the sail all the time, they all doubted whether the sail was fake.

"so amazing."

"If you come to be your hand, it will be too easy for us."

"Why don't you become a sailor, you alone are enough to control the sail."

After being taken aback for a moment, the sailors all praised Lu Chuan.

In fact, they don't need too much technical content to operate the sail, as long as they have learned the degree of rotation, the rest will be directed by the steward, and they will decide their operation.All that is needed is strength.

In terms of strength, will Lu Chuan lack strength?
Even the steward came over and asked Lu Chuan if he was interested in being a sailor with him.

"I don't have the idea to show your kindness." Lu Chuan politely refused. Operating the sail is definitely a tiring task. It's not that Lu Chuan is afraid of being tired, but that he needs to stay here all the time, which is not what Lu Chuan likes.

Seeing that Lu Chuan really didn't have this meaning, the steward was also very disappointed.

With this capable subordinate, his job will definitely be easier.You must know that for a large sailing ship, if there is a person who can quickly control the sail, he only needs to constantly check the wind speed and direction, and Lu Chuan can do the rest.

On the next day, the Neptune encountered a caravan by chance.

They both belong to the Mela family, so the two fleets stopped on the sea for a short time. The caravan sent a small boat with a middle-aged businessman on board, and he came with two sailors up.

They met Meila. Others will not know why, but Lu Chuan still knows. The other party came to tell Meila a news, that is, due to some special reasons, the demand for ironware in Port Port has risen to a very high level. , the price is three times as high as before.

"It's best if you can arrive within five days. There are quite a few caravans that have disappeared. If the demand is saturated, I'm afraid Tie Qi will be irritable."

The other party left this message and left in a hurry.

In the ocean, especially in this era, news is almost closed.Only in the major ports can we get some news.If you encounter a caravan in the sea, if you are not very familiar with it, you will not stop at all, and it is difficult to know anything.

Lu Chuan's ability, not a single word of their conversation fell behind.

This time, the entire trading fleet carried a lot of ironware. If the news is true, the triple price would be enough to make people crazy.As long as you sell the goods in your hands, you will earn a fortune beyond imagination.

It's just that the wind is headwind now, and it seems impossible to arrive within five days, which means that this trip may miss the super high premium this time.

"Is this popular?"

Lu Chuan rubbed his chin. The popularity in reality is not like the popularity in the game. It requires a lot of iron. There is only one possibility. This is the port country where it is located. It should be preparing for a war.

And this war will come very suddenly, otherwise it is impossible to triple the price.

Meera is naturally excited, but now she is headed against the wind, so she might miss this opportunity.

Lu Chuan smiled, they couldn't help it, but he had it.Lu Chuan also wanted to experience this so-called fashion once, and this is the complete era of great voyages.Therefore, Lu Chuan decided to help them and let them make a fortune.

Staying on the deck, with a thought, Lu Chuan thought, the wind was against the wind just now, but it suddenly changed direction and turned into the wind.

"My God, it's a good wind, a good wind..."

This sudden change made the sailors on the whole ship excited. They cheered one by one, and then worked hard to adjust the angle of the sails to obtain the maximum speed.

"It's so strange. I have never seen a tailwind on this section of the channel. What's going on?"

The person in charge just muttered, but it was a good thing, and he didn't think it was anyone's fault. After all, it was a change of nature, not human.

With such a change, even Meera appeared, feeling the wind.

And some fleets were depressed, because they were going with the wind, but suddenly turned against the wind. This unprecedented event made them unable to understand.

It turned into a tailwind, and with full sail, the speed gained was not slow.

Lu Chuan's control is very good, the wind force is the maximum range that the boat can withstand, and the maximum speed can be obtained without damaging the pole of the boat.

What the whole fleet couldn't figure out was that the whole day was full of tailwinds. It used to take three days to travel, but now it only takes one day.Many sailors all claimed that this was the blessing of the sea god, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.

After only three days of departure, they completed the seven-day journey and arrived at Port Port.

It can be said that this is absolutely incredible, because it is hard to imagine that there is a smooth wind all the way, and it allows them to obtain the maximum speed.

Not to mention the people on the Neptune, but the caravan that followed all the way. When they arrived at Porter Port, they all cheered, because it was unimaginable that they could sail the previous seven-day voyage in three days.What's more, they caught up with Port Port's needs.

In the mouths of many sailors, they all think that Mera is favored by the sea god and is the goddess of luck.

After arriving at Port Port, the next step is for the trade steward to communicate.

After about an hour, the commercial steward returned with the sailors and brought back an official who looked like a local.The next thing is that Meera talked about it in person. It is indeed the same as the previous news, and the price is still three times, but only for today. His Majesty's order is until today, and then all will be shipped away.

"so close!"

Meera was also lucky, if it wasn't for the unbelievably smooth sailing, it would have been impossible to catch up with this transaction.

This time they carried a lot of ironware, almost every ship in the entire fleet had them.

After finalizing the price, Lu Chuan and the others worked hard next.The ironware is extremely heavy, so it is the most troublesome to carry it. They need four people to work together, but Lu Chuan is holding this huge box in his arms, carrying it over and over again.

With such divine power, it naturally surprised countless people in this pier.

Meila might be in a good mood. Standing on the deck, she watched Lu Chuan move these iron objects off the boat effortlessly, with a strange gleam in her eyes.

It took half a day to finish unloading the ironware. The other loaders were too tired to move a finger, but Lu Chuan seemed to be fine. I don't know how many people regarded Lu Chuan as a monster.

Replenishment was carried out at the local pier, and then Lu Chuan and the others rarely had a small plate of air-dried meat when they ate.

This kind of treatment is rare, no matter in what era, eating meat is a luxury.

The ship docked, and the sailors and gunners all seemed to be in a panic. Except for the necessary garrison personnel, they all swarmed into the city. You don't need to think about what they are going to do. Naturally, they are looking for this place. woman fooling around.

Things like this run through the entire history of human navigation, even in modern times.

Lu Chuan didn't have much interest. He stayed on the deck, one of the few people still on board.People like the unloading workers have all gone to the city. Their income is low, but there will always be some low-consumption people everywhere, right?
"Why don't you go for a stroll?" A voice came from the aloof Meera. She stood there, very indifferent, like a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks.

Lu Chuan actually knew she was coming, but he didn't expect to greet him.

Lu Chuan turned his head, his eyes were clear without any impurities, and he didn't have a trace of fear or nervousness, as if he was not facing a captain.

"I just like sailing, and I have no other interests." Lu Chuan shrugged and said in fluent astronomical language. This tone is definitely a native of the starry sky empire.

Undoubtedly, Lu Chuan's tone of voice made Mei La feel a sense of relaxation, which may be due to the fact that she is also from her hometown.

Mera nodded and said, "I also like sailing, so I became the captain of this Sea King regardless of my family's objections. If you don't believe it, I bought this ship with all my money. Because my family doesn't support me doing this at all. My father said that if I can't support the boat, I have to go back and follow his arrangement to marry the third prince."

There is a lot of information revealed in these words.

A woman who has just grown up, the money she saved can buy such a huge armed merchant ship, which shows how rich Meera's family is.In addition, the person she was going to marry turned out to be the third prince in the royal family. Although he was not the heir to the empire, he was still a prince after all.

How should I put it, Meera is completely powerful and has such a beautiful face, she is definitely one of the lucky ones on this planet.
