The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse
Chapter 46 The Conversation with Barbossa
On the cold Arctic Ocean, two ships are sailing on an ocean full of ice floes.
What Sao Feng lent to Barbosa was a Chinese sailboat that is very common in Chinese waters. This kind of flat-bottomed boat with two ends tilted is the most common and oldest ship type in China. Its history can even be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Even Zheng He sailed to the West All of them are improved ship type Daifuku ships of this kind.
However, the one that Barbosa borrowed was not a blessing boat, but a Guangzhou boat.
Because it is mostly manufactured in the coastal areas of Guangdong, it is named Guangzhou Shipyard.
Guangzhou Ship is characterized by long head and long body, small beam arch, and low deck ridge arc. The transverse structure of the hull is composed of tight ribs and bulkheads, and the longitudinal strength is maintained by the keel. The structure is solid, and it has good airworthiness and endurance.
In addition, the Guangzhou ship is made of iron wood, which is stronger than the Fuchuan made of pine and cedar. If the Guangzhou Ship and the Fuchuan collide in the sea, the Fuchuan will be smashed.
Therefore, Sao Feng, who is the Pirate King of Singapore, mostly used this kind of sturdy and durable Canton Ship, while Fu Chuan was mostly used as a merchant ship.
This is the same even for the ships under Mrs. Qing who are also operating in China's waters. After all, although Guangzhou Ship is expensive, it is indeed more suitable for pirates.
However, although the Guangzhou Ship is good, the ship Sao Feng lent to Barbosa is not a particularly large ship, it is just a fast ship, and there are not even a few cannons on it, which is comparable to a standard high-speed battleship like the Blood Sail. Than, like a dwarf next to a giant.
Especially the speed increase brought by the flying clipper bow of the Blood Sail made the Blood Sail look like a monster.
To give the simplest example, in this era, it would take about five weeks for a sailing ship to cross the Atlantic if the monsoon catches up, but for a clipper ship like the Blood Sail, the time can be compressed to thirteen days.
And this is still under the condition that the Blood Sail does not use special abilities to accelerate.
So Barbosa had to be very depressed to find that the Blood Sail hardly even opened its sails, so it easily followed the borrowed Cantonese ship with all its sails fully opened.
"It's really a good ship. I wonder how fast she can run with all sails open?" Barbosa looked at the Blood Sail sailing aside and asked Chen Mo casually.
"Full sails? In that case, the Blood Sail can go back and forth between the Caribbean and Europe within a month. I have sailed with the Black Pearl before, and it only takes half a sail to catch up with the Blood Sail." Chen Mo was very pleased with this. Although the Blood Sail is not a steel battleship, as a sailing ship it is the most perfect.
Although the Blood Sail is a battleship, the clipper ship, as the fastest sailing ship design in the age of sails, is still the best design for large ships even if it is finally replaced by steam engines.
Hearing what Chen Mo said, Barbosa said unconvinced: "The Black Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean!"
"The Black Pearl is indeed fast, but she is older than the Blood Sail, isn't she?" Chen Mo smiled at Barbossa, but asked curiously: "I heard that the Black Pearl once sank to the bottom of the sea. Jack Sparrow made a deal with Davy Jones to get it?"
While asking, Chen Mo turned a ring on his hand, which quietly affected Barbossa's mind, allowing him to confide more. At the same time, he also took out a bottle of rum from his pocket and handed it to him. To Barbossa.
"That boy Jack told you? She used to be called a bad girl. She was a trading ship of the East India Company. At that time, Jack was the captain and I was his first mate." Barbosa told Chen Mo about the Black Pearl and the ship. His story, which is not in the movie: "Originally I was a pirate in the Caspian Sea, where I became a pirate king and got my own eight riyals, but the conditions in the Caspian Sea are really bad , so I defected to Jack's father, Captain Teague."
Hearing Jack's father's name, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "The protector of the Pirate Code?"
"Yes, Captain Teague, he is a very powerful pirate. He was also one of the nine pirate kings, until he gave up his seat to Jack and became the protector of the code." Barbossa bit off After taking a sip, he continued: "You know, Jack was also a good guy back then, he had a good background, a family of pirates! He was also handsome and kind.
He was originally trusted by Beckett of the East India Company, and was appointed as the captain of the bad girl. I was asked by the old Teague to take care of him. After all, people can only be young once, so of course we must enjoy ourselves.
But this kid was too righteous, and let go of a ship of black slaves that Beckett asked him to transport. Because of this, he was branded as a pirate, and the bad girl was burned because of this. "
Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said clearly: "So Jack was unwilling to give up his boat, so he used his soul to make a deal with Davy Jones, in exchange for Davy Jones taking the boat out of the boat. Fished it out of the sea?"
"Yes, and then it put on black sails and changed its name to Black Pearl! That's a really good ship!" Barbossa took another sip of wine, and every captain talked about his ship , will be like talking about your dearest lover.
At this time, Gibbs also heard the conversation between Chen Mo and Barbosa, and couldn't help coming over to ask Barbosa for a sip of wine, warming his body that was about to freeze in the cold weather, and then he felt the same emotion He said: "Jack loves Black Pearl from the bottom of his heart. If there is anything more important than Black Pearl to Jack, it is freedom. For Black Pearl, he is even willing to fight against Kraken."
"So he was dragged into the devil's prison?" Chen Mochong asked Gibbs, which answered him why Jack Sparrow was not locked on the ship by Elizabeth as in the original book, and still disappeared with the Black Pearl.
But apart from these, Chen Mo wanted to know one more thing. He asked Barbosa in a low voice: "Barbosa, it was rumored that you were killed by Jack Sparrow before, how did you come back to life? You need to pay a price, what did you pay to get the chance of resurrection?"
Barbosa didn't answer Chen Mo, but just cast a complicated look at Witch Tia standing at the bow.
Chen Mo looked at Witch Tia along his line of sight, raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and used a little necromancy to observe the goddess of the sea.
However, even though his movements were secretive, Witch Tia still turned her head as if feeling something, and cast her gaze on Chen Mo.
Noticing that the human body of the goddess of the sea was staring at him, Chen Mo just smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Although Cory Busso is sealed in a human body, she is still a powerful witch. Although it is not worth mentioning to Chen Mo, he does not want to conflict with this goddess of the sea at this time.
