An hour later, the "Gothenburg" came to the narrow bay. The smell of the city has completely dissipated in the mist behind. Only the salty sea breeze is oncoming, and its bow beam is almost facing a white one. A lighthouse, it is a lighthouse on an island, and you will enter the real ocean after crossing it.

The speed of the sailing boat is not fast. Although the "Göteborg" is excellent in hull and the captain is superb, he can only reach the speed of 15 km/h every time the sails get the upper hand. It took two hours to pass the lighthouse and the front is Open and bright sea.

The wind turned to the north, just in time for the ship to sail diagonally to the north. The air was exceptionally fresh and pleasant. The "Göteborg" was full of energy, and the crew were all motivated. The ship at their feet was the best ship in Sweden!

The hull is streamlined, the sails are reasonably designed, and there are also solar water generators, silver water tanks and air-energy automatic exhaust fans on board!

The solar water generator uses the principle of solar distillation to produce pure water; the silver water tank has silver ions precipitated, which plays a role of disinfection, and the water quality can be stored for longer; as for the air-powered automatic exhaust fan, no power is required , Installed on the cabin, using the energy of the hot air in the cabin to exhaust outwards, that is, the fan plays a role in improving the air quality in the cabin.

These three inventions come from South China. Newly built ships of various countries will be equipped with these three things as long as the funds permit. The "Göteborg" is no exception.

More than these three things!

For the safety of the voyage, the "Göteborg" does not plan to dock for replenishment, and mainly relies on its own replenishment for the voyage. Therefore, there are many rum barrels in the bottom compartment for drinking.

The rum is the standard equipment for the South China ship's voyage.

European white skins have also learned this. The rum rationed on the "Göteborg" comes from Central America, where the sun is shining, and white skins grow sugar cane and squeeze sugar to produce rum, which is very impressive.

Although the white sugar they produce is not white enough and the quality of the rum wine is not good, the quality is constantly rising. After all, the white skins also have a bit of background. For example, when they produce wines with a lot of impurities, white skins know how to clarify and filter? The method of gluing makes the wine clarify. The specific method is to add substances that can precipitate the colloids (tannins, proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) in the wine, make them coagulate, and then filter. The materials used for gluing generally include egg white, isinglass, bentonite, etc.

Newly brewed wine can be filtered after being glued. The filtering process can be done by gauze? Screen out the yeast in the wine? Make the look and feel clear;

The white skin can even remove the yeast without filtering, but is placed in a wine vat and uses gravity to precipitate impurities. Then the siphon method is used to draw out the wine from the lees. The siphon method can **** out the impurities that settle at the bottom of the vat? The turbid sake becomes sake. The clarity of the wine purified by this method can be almost the same as that of filtered wine.

They have a long history of wine production, and rum is also made in the same way? Can they produce more and better rum? Don't let Chinese businessmen make so much!

In this way? "Gothenburg" is fully equipped? They began their voyage.

Soon? The crew knew that this was actually a long and boring voyage. When on duty, everyone was busy, and it was okay to have a downwind, but sometimes the sea is calm and sometimes headwind? Sometimes the wind direction is not at all. Clearly? For a while, even the wind seemed to be in the wrong direction? The ship broke down and won't leave!

But? The "Gothenburg" is always advancing, firmly on its course.

Captain Eriksson thinks it's okay, the boat is good? The crew is also good.

Since it is a new ship, there is no annoying barnacle dragging speed for the time being, so when the "Göteborg" eats enough wind, it can travel 3-5 kilometers faster than ordinary ships, sometimes so fast that seagulls pass lightly on the sea. And it is a fully worn ship!

The deputy captain Larson, the navigator Sternman, the deputy navigator Elman and the sailor Burcher are all "top partners". They are all veterans in the wind and waves. Their business is proficient and level. Superb and reliable.

And Eriksson’s outstanding skills are able to give the ship the upper hand and the enough wind as much as possible. When he is commanding, the speed is a bit faster than the others, and the sailors can tell the difference.

The cargo on this ship is expensive. If you don't send a master to sail and you can't return, the shareholders of the Swedish East India Company will howl to unscrew the heads of the board members!

The ship passed through Denmark and traveled along the European coastline, but did not approach the coast, but used a telescope to observe the coast from a distance as a guide.

The telescope of the "Göteborg" made Eriksson satisfied. It was no longer the telescopic single-scope telescope before the white skin, but used a large barrel telescope and binoculars, and it was very clear to see the distant scene.

With the guidance of the coastline, their heading is clear, the speed is fast, and it is not easy to land for replenishment, which also saves a lot of time.

They passed through the Dutch waters and saw that there were a lot of ships and the shipping was prosperous.

Navigator Sternman said: “It’s much better now. I was on a Dutch ship before. The Dutch and the British went to war. The British blocked the Dutch waters and plundered everywhere~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Merchant ships did not dare to go to sea. No piece of sail."

"I heard that the Chinese are calling, so the Dutch and the British are not fighting!" Deputy Chief of Navigation Elman shrugged and said: "Look, if the Chinese disappear, then the Protestant brothers will be in full swing. The ground is dry, maybe you and I will meet at sea!"

Protestant brothers: Both the Netherlands and Britain believe in Protestantism, but the navies of the two countries are not at all ambiguous when they fight.

Elman used to work in the British fleet, while Sternman served the Dutch. Now the Spanish navy is declining. In order to fight for maritime supremacy, both Britain and the Netherlands will recruit a large number of foreign aid, Elman and Sternman. There is a chance to fight.

"Hey!" said Sailor Burcher, "I doubt you have a chance to fight!"

"Why?" everyone asked strangely.

"Because the Chinese will kill all the Dutch and the British, including the Spanish and Portuguese!" Burcher said, like a prophet: "Look, once the Chinese call, we Everyone is done!"

how can that be!

No one on the crew believed what he said.

However, Captain Eriksson was a little curious about Bullcher's words. He knew that Bullcher was knowledgeable. He had been to Venice and transported shells and gunpowder for Baotou. He was the only crew member on the ship who had seen those Eastern pagans.

So he asked why, and Burcher said: "The pagans in the East are not religious. They are hardworking, brave and obey the command of the commander. They are not afraid of death. They have a very high level of guns and strong supply capabilities. Captain you I also saw that we learned from them in many aspects. They have the most battleships and more artillery than any of our countries..."

Eriksson was not calm, and said: "Are you telling me that we will fight God's army?"
