A trip to the second dimension

"Wow, is this our ship?"

Wen Na looked at the almost new two-masted sailing ship anchored in front of everyone at the port, grinning and saying in amazement.

"Yes, this is our ship. It cost a lot of money. Let's go on board and take a look." Hope grinned and stepped on the wooden ladder to board the deck of the ship first, and then watched Wen Na and others follow him up.

Behind Wen Na and others, there was a large group of workers carrying goods and two businessmen.

These workers were skillfully carrying barrels of goods from the port to the deck. When they heard that they didn't need to move them to the cargo hold, they were also relieved.

There were a lot of goods, most of which were some fresh water for daily use and some food.

But in terms of proportion, the amount of fresh water was a little more. As for food, Hope had a lot in his space backpack, which could ensure everyone's diet and nutritional supplements.

On the sea, it didn't matter even if Hope's space backpack had eaten up all the food.

Anyway, Hope could travel to other worlds to replenish supplies at any time.

It can be said that with Hope, the group of people no longer have to consider the danger of food when going out to sea.

If other people who make a living on the sea in this world knew about this, they would probably be envious and jealous.

In addition to food, fresh water and some necessary living supplies, the most important thing is the port map, coastal map, offshore map and ocean map of this location.

These charts are very valuable, and if they are detailed enough, they will cost a lot.

But Hope and others are not short of money, so they bought them all.

Originally, Hope wanted to get these charts directly from the Marvel world or the sub-human world.

After all, in modern society, the accuracy of charts and maps is much higher than this world.

But after comparing them, I found that although they are all Earth and Italy, there are still some differences in terrain and some sea areas from other worlds.

In this case, the idea of ​​obtaining high-precision charts from other worlds cannot be used.

Otherwise, after going out to sea, following the charts, but finally going the wrong way, that would be a lot of fun.

In addition to nautical charts, some navigation positioning tools are also indispensable.

Unlike other world historical developments, the technological development of different regions in the world of Assassins is different, and the Age of Exploration has already begun two hundred years ago.

Therefore, in addition to the compass, the sextant is also expected to appear in the instruments they buy now.

In the heyday of the Middle Ages, most merchant ships in Mediterranean cities still sailed along the coast. Merchant ships departing from the western Mediterranean coast all sailed south along the Italian peninsula, passed through the Strait of Messina, and then circled the Greek peninsula, sailed along the northern coast of Candia to Rhodes and Cyprus, and then sailed directly to the Syrian coast, and then sailed south along the coast to Tyre and Acre.

Those ships from northwestern Europe did not sail directly east after passing through the Strait of Gibraltar, but made a roundabout voyage along the Mediterranean coast of Spain, France and Italy. In short, no ship owner dared to venture out to the sea where land was out of sight.

Because they believe that the danger of shipwreck caused by encountering reefs and shoals is not as terrible as sinking in the sea. There are three reasons for not daring to sail across the ocean: one is fear of getting lost; the second is fear of storms in the ocean; the third is fear of being attacked by pirates. But in the final analysis, it is still the first reason. Fear of getting lost. Because, in the later era when navigation technology has improved, although the second and third reasons still exist, ships dare to sail across the ocean.

It can be seen that in ocean voyages, determining the direction of the ship is the first priority.

The two merchants who came with the team found that there were no sailors or professionals engaged in navigation on the newly purchased ship of Hope, which made them seem to have discovered another business opportunity, so they ran up to sell sailors.

But after asking in his team, Hope learned that Kuba knew how to use navigation positioning instruments such as sextants, so he drove the two merchants away.

He will strengthen the ship under his feet later, and the navigation problem in the Tyrrhenian Sea is not big. We are not going to sail across the ocean, so we don't need more professional personnel.

After all, they are not our own people, and Hope doesn't want to let others board his ship for no reason.

Although Kuba doesn't have much sailing experience, he has done this kind of work before, so he is not completely ignorant.

This is enough.

The workers spent a lot of time moving all the materials purchased by Nemo and others onto the ship, and Hope drove away all the irrelevant people.

Looking at the people standing on the deck, Hope smiled and said, "Next, it's time to witness the miracle."

After that, under the gaze of everyone, Hope clapped his hands, then squatted down and pressed on the deck under his feet, shouting, "Alchemy!"

Hope certainly doesn't know any alchemy, he just shouted for fun.

But this ship did react a lot.

I saw a series of blue strengthening lights, centered on Hope's hands pressing on the deck, constantly washing towards the entire hull.

Where the strengthening force passed, a torrent of data began to emerge and flash as if it was pulled from the root of the world.

The data seemed to have life, flowing continuously throughout the entire hull, and emitting a faint glow.

Standing on the glowing deck, Ezio and his party opened their mouths wide, looked around, and didn't know where to step, for fear of disturbing Hope who was doing something.

Finally, the light gradually faded, and the ship Ezio and his party were on had undergone many changes.

Although it was still a brig, it was one size larger.

The ship was 60 meters long, 48.5 meters high, 11.9 meters wide, and equipped with 26 sails.

It was not a big ship, but it was definitely not small.

Moreover, some cannons appeared on the originally empty deck at this time.

According to Hope's introduction, everyone knew the force system of this new ship.

Hardwood ram, 22 side-spinning cannons, 2 bow cannons, and 2 stern swivel cannons.

This kind of firepower is already very outstanding in the nearby sea area.

As for the name of the new ship, Hope didn't need to name it, it had its own name, the Jackdaw!

The data of this ship was originally in the origin of this world, and what Hope did was to use his own dimensional power and strengthening power to take it out, and then strengthen it on the ship he just bought.

Now the Jackdaw has been completely bound to Hope and has become a dedicated ship that belongs to Hope alone.
