Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 177 The Age of Discovery ([-])

"gunner?"

Several people turned their heads to look at Rhodes. At this time, the Nolan Continent already has black powder?

"Isn't there one in Huaxia?" Seeing several people shaking their heads, Rhodes unconsciously showed a proud look on his face: "More than 100 years ago, Wendy's genius bachelor Galen invented a very powerful thing that ignited a head Such a big ball, thrown at a ship, can sink the whole ship to the bottom of the sea! At that time, pirates were rampant..."

According to Rhodes' description, Ye Qing guessed that what Galen developed should be a smoothbore gun.

The front-mounted smoothbore gun is a long-barreled artillery invented by the British in the mid-16th century, which is also called the Hongyi (cloth) cannon after China.

However, the overall level of the existing smoothbore guns in Nolan Continent is far from reaching the level of later generations. Bachelor Galen passed away after seeing the first-generation smoothbore guns installed on royal ships.

After large-scale production of a batch of smoothbore guns to deal with pirates, the royal family took them as their own private property and collected them into the treasure house. The adjustment and upgrade of smoothbore guns has been sluggish until Wendy was the last king and squandered all the property in the treasury. That's when the idea of ​​a smoothbore gun came up.

The king recruited Wendy's most powerful bachelors and craftsmen, handed them the development manuscript of the smoothbore gun, and ordered them to make the best ships at that time as soon as possible. Let the king of the country visit together and show them the most powerful water warship in the Nolan continent.

At that time, everyone knew the power of smoothbore guns, but because of the complicated craftsmanship, no one could decipher them. Now, King Wendy is willing to sell them good things, so every king ordered this kind of warship.

"King Wendy is quite smart, and knows how to pre-order."

"After so many years, other countries have not been able to develop the mystery of smoothbore guns?"

"The current King Wendy, Queen Seiler, is even smarter than his father." Rhodes said as he walked, "The Queen trains bachelors and lets people specialize in the study of smoothbore guns. The most critical method is only in the hands of a few people. Others don’t know it at all, so how could they steal it?”

The study of smoothbore guns requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and Wendy's ship is not expensive. Except for maritime trade, several countries on the Nolan continent have maintained peaceful relations for many years. Even if someone studies it privately, no one is doing it A costly affair.

This also allows Wendy to maintain the unique position in the Nolan Continent - the number one shipbuilding country.

As far as the current situation is concerned, smoothbore guns are powerful, but the strike accuracy is not enough.

For example, when projecting shells to ships at a certain distance, the hit rate is about 55%. This probability is related to the configuration and also to the gunner. A good gunner cannot guarantee a significant increase in the hit rate, but it can improve the accuracy speed, and predicted avoidance directions.

"Under Leon's operation, the effective hit to the enemy ship can be as high as [-]%!"

"So high?" Ye Qing asked.

"I'm not talking big, Leon is definitely the best gunner I've ever seen! Although he looks very young, haha, he's already two years younger than me... that's right!" Rhodes grinned at her and looked back. Taking a look at Hu Yingfeng and Shi Yin, he pulled Ye Qing two steps forward and asked in a low voice: "According to my observation, neither of them is your lover?"

"Ah?" Ye Qing didn't understand what Rhodes said.

"Leon is quite handsome. A few years ago, when he went to Wendy, he met Queen Seiler, and the queen fell in love with him at first sight! Ye, you are not from the Nolan continent, but you are very good, you can consider it Leon!"

"This……"

"Rhode, what do you want her to think about?" Hu Yingfeng put his shoulders and dragged him to the back.

High West is in the northwest of Ebbins, and it belongs to an inland city. If you want to get from Ganbo to High West, the best way is to travel by land.

At this time, the carriage was exclusive to the nobles, and the only way they could choose to travel was walking, riding a horse or cart.

When leaving Ganbo, they bought a horse-drawn cart, Shi Yin drove, Ye Qing and Rong Sheng sat behind, and Luo Luode and Hu Yingfeng rode first.

"Haywest" means "harvest" in the Norland Continent. It is also the largest agricultural kingdom in the Norland Continent. The climate is suitable, the land is fertile, and the sunshine is sufficient. The king and residents are committed to the development of agriculture. The crops here are Several countries grow best.

If you want to live and work in peace, High West will be the best choice.

Because Shi Zhenxiang said that as long as you find the key person, you can complete the task in the direction of the key person. During this period, they can stay in the current time and space, so Ye Qing and the others are not in a hurry to complete the task. At that time, they were all hurrying to absorb the soul of the sea. Although the "spiritual energy" on the mainland was weaker, it was stronger than what they felt before.

Ye Qing and the others also tried to guess who the master who created this sea area and continent was, but the three of them had no idea, and they had never heard of such a saint.

Perhaps, their abilities are still too low to touch the higher world for the time being.

More than 20 days later, Ye Qing and his party finally entered Heiweist's territory.

There is a stone tablet on the side of the road with the words "Hey West" written on it, and several huge farm tools carved in stone are erected beside it, symbolizing Hey West.

After a night's rest, while Shi Yin was making breakfast, Ye Qing and Rong Sheng went to the woods alone.

"Be careful. After half a day of walking, you should enter the main city." Seeing the two of them walking into the woods, Rhodes reminded them.

Ye Qing gestured that there was no problem, and led Rongsheng inside.

"Is her injury serious?" Rhodes hesitated for a while, but turned to look at Hu Yingfeng. Every morning and evening, Ye Qing had to apply medicine on her body, and her collar was always tightly closed.

"I was injured very badly." Hu Yingfeng's eyes flashed intense worry, and his tone was filled with self-blame and guilt: "I left some scars on my body, so many scars, it's not good-looking."

When Ye Qing was fighting with Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu cast a blood curse on her body, and the skin healed, but the scar remained.Hu Yingfeng tried many kinds of ointment for removing scars, but none of them worked. In the end, she could only coax Ye Qing to apply some ointment every day, saying that it would definitely be effective.

I heard that there was a kind of monster in ancient times, eating it could remove scars, heal skin, and lighten the skin. Hu Yingfeng is waiting to find someone to inquire about it when he returns next time.

On the other side, Ye Qing and Rong Sheng walked to the end of the grove, with the woods behind them and the top of the hill in front of them, looking down, there was a horizontal path below, Ye Qing sat behind a big rock and took off his upper body Clothes, revealing the back to Rongsheng.

The little hand touched the plaster, and gently applied it to the skin on her back: "Does it hurt?"

"No pain."

Rong Sheng didn't speak anymore, every time he applied medicine to Ye Qing, every time he saw the scars on her body, he secretly vowed to become strong as soon as possible, strong enough to protect her.

Rong Sheng just helped Ye Qing pull up his clothes when he heard heavy footsteps coming towards them from the west.

Ye Qing and Rong Sheng looked down, and saw a middle-aged man running and looking back, his expression was nervous, and he grabbed a rabbit with one hand.

"Stop for me—"
