From the Island Owner to the King

Chen Rui was shocked and walked over.

It was found that it was a gun barrel. The barrel was cast iron and had been stained with rust. It lay quietly in the dark, icy sea water, silently recounting the wave-like history.

At this time, viewers all over the world watching live broadcasts in front of TV sets, computers, and mobile phone screens are also shocked.

"A gun barrel is found, and there may be a wreck nearby."

The barrel is not long, and the caliber and size are relatively small. This is a light gun.

Chen Rui was looking for it off the coast of Cuba before? pig? pig? island? Novel ww.uua. When I was looking for the "Lucky Star", I checked some information about Spanish ships from the 16th to the 18th century, and I have a lot of knowledge about Spanish ships, including the assembly of artillery on Spanish ships.

The Spaniards used a variety of artillery pieces to make up their firepower system on their ships: cannons, long cannons, stone shooters, mortars and spinners.

The barrel of the gun found here is the barrel of the rotary gun, which was very common on Spanish ships.

It is mainly used to kill people at close range, and can fire solid rounds or grape bombs for mass destruction.

According to the different types and sizes derived from the rotary cannon, different important projectiles are fired. The general size fires 1-pound projectiles, and the larger and longer ones fire 1.5-pound and 2.5-pound projectiles.

All turrets are rear-loaded, and they can be reloaded very quickly if necessary.

This is a very practical, light, useful and cost-effective artillery.

Rotary guns are usually placed on the deck or under the ship's building, and if necessary, they can be installed on the two ship's buildings.

Chen Rui left here. Found it nearby.

Ten minutes later, a sunken ship was found about 200 meters away from the barrel of the rotary gun.

Viewers all over the world watching live broadcasts on TVs, mobile phones, and computers are also excited.

People who would have been working, resting, or had something to spare from next to strangers. Friends and netizens turned on their TVs, computers, and mobile phones to watch the live broadcast after hearing the news that the live broadcast found the shipwreck.

Major TV stations around the world discovered that from the moment the shipwreck was directly discovered,

The ratings are on the rise,

However, various video networks and mobile video networks are also in happiness and pain. The happiness is that the click rate has exploded, and the pain is that there are too many people watching at the same time, which causes the video card to explode, and is sprayed into slag by the angry viewers. They don't care why you are stuck.

There are a lot of people all over the world staring at TVs, cell phones, TV screens, expecting to discover a big treasure. With Chen Rui's knowledge of Spanish ships from the 16th to the 18th century, Chen Rui can see at a glance that this is a Spanish galleon. This wreck has various characteristics of the Spanish galleon. Advantages 4:1 aspect ratio, high chord. High poop, foredeck, flat stern, with a protrusion at the bow, like the ramming angle of an oar rowing boat. The hull has an obvious equilateral trapezoid shape and this slope extends all the way to the poop, with beautiful lines.

Arguably one of the most legendary sailing ships in history, the Spanish galleons are the epitome of maritime hegemony in the 16th and 17th centuries, often reminiscent of wreck treasures, pirates, conquistadors and armadas, they are the epitome of maritime hegemony in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Empire's hard-working packhorses guarded the Empire's interests in the seas and ensured that the royal family could obtain great wealth from the far-flung American colonies.

At this time, the former maritime hegemon lay quietly on the cold and dark seabed. After hundreds of years of immersion and erosion in seawater, the hull of the hull has been severely damaged. There is one bracket left, which is dilapidated. Some marine creatures use this place as their habitat. The bottom and right side of the boat have been half-buried in the sand due to gravity and the effect of current scouring.

Chen Rui swims on top of the boat.

Chen Rui found some artillery pieces on the deck, the stern, the sides of the ship, amidships, and in front of the mainmast. There were more than 30 guns, including two cannons, four long guns, ten semi-long guns, and four guns. Falcon guns, and more than 10 rotary guns, the ship is well armed.

However, it is well-armed. Most of the space on the ship is used to equip artillery and soldiers who ride on the cannon. Correspondingly, there is not much space to store treasures and goods. Chen Rui may be disappointed. This is an armed ship. ferry.

Sure enough, Chen Rui didn't find much treasure in the cabin and cargo hold, only some gold, silver, copper ingots, coins and some utensils.

"It turns out that this is an armed ship, which made me look forward to a game in vain. I thought it was a big treasure like the 'Lucky Star'."

"The former maritime hegemony has now become a wreck on the icy and dark seabed. Through this sunken ship, I seem to have seen the magnificent era of great sailing, the maritime hegemony of Spain, the Armada, the Golden Fleet, pirate,"

"Like one!! Chen Rui."

"I really hope to go on an adventure with Chen Rui. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil."

"I haven't watched TV for 10 years. I specially bought a TV and locked the World Geographic Channel every day. It's too slow to watch on the computer and mobile phone. Give me a like."

"Like!! +1"

"Has the World Geographic Channel ratings surpassed?"

"It's a must, it's over!!."

"Look forward to it!! There will be more exciting live broadcasts later."

"Damn!! Shipwreck Tombs!!"

"what happened??!"

"Watch the live broadcast!!"

In the picture, Chen Rui found two more sunken ships, a Clark cargo ship and a fully armed Spanish galleon.

"Spanish galleon!! Two ships!! You must know that the status of the Spanish galleon is equivalent to the battleships of World War I and World War II. In 1588, the Spanish Armada only had 20 Spanish galleons. At the end of the 16th century, the Spanish maritime empire was in At its peak, there were only 50 ships, and it was reduced to more than 20 ships in the middle and late 17th century.
