Chapter 17 Steam Technology, Boy! 【Sturdy single cannon*3】 【Quality: Ordinary】 【Type: Component】 【Description: An old-fashioned cannon that is not too old. Its strength and durability are trustworthy, but please do not expect its accuracy and range. 】 【Equipped on a ship, it can increase the "firepower" attribute! 】 【Truth exists within the range of the cannon! 】 These three artillery pieces were of course also looted from the Blood Wolf. Although this strange piece of machinery is called a "steam turbine." Xia En’s eyes were shining with excitement, but he still suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and waved his hand.
With his current moral level, it would be unrealistic to directly rob merchant ships, but... Not only did he send his own head, he also sent over all the property on the "Blood Wolf", which directly solved Xia En's debt problem. The hull of this ship is painted with scarlet paint. It is four or five times the size of the Black Swan and is enough to accommodate hundreds of people going out to sea together. Achieve two birds with one stone! Isn’t it wonderful? … It is hard to imagine how many ships are setting sail on the entire sea area. But it's clearly worth it. He also knows that his current strength is far from being able to dominate the sea, and he still has to kneel when he encounters a truly powerful Mystic. “One day, people all over the sea will look up to us!” “Captain Hansen, you are truly my noble man!” The sails are painted with a magnificent pattern of roses, which is the emblem of the Nova family and the symbol of the duke. this day. “But...how to install this thing?” Not long after, as the Black Swan was about to sail into the port, a sailboat of similar size approached. 【Description: Machinery powered by steam was once one of the advanced technological products of the previous era, and is now widely used in navigation. 】 On the opposite deck, there stood a rich, bald man. Having made a lot of money, a boatload of loot (including heads) is in urgent need of disposal. In addition, there is not much fresh water and dry food reserves left on the ship... Xia En's eyes also fell on the "Blood Duke", but his heart felt a little hot.
At this moment, Xia En also understood the reason why the Blood Wolf could catch up with the Black Swan. Shaan shook his head to calm himself down. On the other hand, Xia En has not forgotten that the attributes of the ship are also linked to himself. Shaan had some impression of this person. He seemed to be a fishing boat captain named "Jani", who had some issues with the original owner's father. Compared with ordinary steam engines, they are more like creations that come out of some fantasy theme, full of weird and contradictory beauty. Gradually, a bold idea suddenly popped into Xia En’s mind. It has the meaning of hundreds of teams vying for the current and thousands of sails sailing. And this is just a small Duke Island. Xia En naturally has no reason to stay in this sea area anymore. The top priority is to quickly return to the island to replenish supplies. 【Equipped on a ship, it can increase the "speed" attribute! 】 But it is indeed a way to make a fortune. Like many Chinese, Xia En also has a "phobia of insufficient firepower". There is no such thing as too much artillery. This is the Age of Discovery! It took Xia En a lot of effort to fish them out of the sea. Xia En was surprised by his idea at first, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was actually somewhat feasible. This place is not too far from Duke Island, and many ships can be vaguely seen on the sea. Previously, Jani approached the original owner and wanted to buy the Black Swan, but was rejected. ifier “It seems that after returning to Duke Island, we need to find a reliable shipwright.” If you could take charge of such a huge ship, how high would your attributes soar? “Let’s set sail and return!” Precise gears, extremely complex cylinders, as well as brass-colored pipes, valves and connecting parts...just looking at it makes people have headaches. It can be called steam black technology! Xia En looked up and saw a huge three-masted sailboat slowly passing by on the sea. Second order? Third level? Or stronger? He patted the mast next to him and said to himself: "Xiao Hei, you have to work harder and upgrade quickly. Let's work hard together." Upgrading the ship's equipment is upgrading yourself.
The difference in accuracy can be made up for by quantity! “Why don’t you just change your job?” —— As for the strange machinery next to the artillery, it is even more heavyweight! 【Steam turbines of some years】 Xia En studied for a long time like a novice who was installing the computer for the first time, and finally came to the conclusion- Although the Blood Duke is large and powerful, it does not look down on small ships like the Black Swan, so it poses no threat. However, just putting it on the boat does not seem to be considered a "assembled" state. A long whistle sounded in the distance. That is the largest and most magnificent ship near Duke Island, and it is also the embodiment of Duke Nova's force and authority. Think about it, this is the product of this world’s weird technology tree. 【Type: Component】 After counting all the trophies, Xia En felt happy and couldn't stop smiling. … Looking at this scene, Xia En felt a burning fire in his heart. 【Quality: Rare】 The pirate ship came to steal the Black Swan, and it was quite reasonable to kill the pirate ship himself, right? It can not only seize pirate bounties, but also loot the entire ship's property. “Hey, isn’t this Captain Shane?” This is the most valuable trophy on the [Blood Wolf]. If you want to install this steam turbine on a ship and use it as a reliable source of power, you need to make certain modifications to the ship's hull! This task is obviously not something that Xia En can do alone. “It is still necessary to take a long-term approach and not to rush.” “It’s better to make money as a pirate. After working so hard to salvage sunken ships for so long, the income is not as good as this wave of robberies.” Joy exclaimed softly, with a little awe in his eyes. But after Xia En looked at it carefully for a long time, he felt that it was completely different from the steam engine in his impression. If it were put up for auction on the island, I don’t know how many Silver Snake coins it would sell for. The gap between the two was thus forged.
The sails on the mast swayed gently, as if responding to Sean's expectations. Shane planned to wait for them to dry before loading them on the side of the ship. Shane and Joey were wiping the trophies on the deck and putting them into sacks in categories. Now, it’s fantasy time! “Ahem.” To be honest, although the crabs and fish in the sea taste good, Xia En can't stand eating them every day, so he has to change his taste with food on land. The ships are large and small, some have just left the sea, and some are returning. 【Steam technology, boy! 】 The power sources of the two are not at the same level, so the speed is naturally incomparable. “It’s the Blood Duke!” Xia En was in a hurry to get rid of the loot on the ship and didn't want to waste too much time on him, so he asked calmly. “Captain Jani, are you okay?” (End of this chapter)
