Cole Busso has made no secret of her maliciousness.
The sky is full of eternal dark clouds and endless rain. The precipitation is getting bigger and bigger, and the empty wooden barrels placed outside often only need one hour to be completely filled with rainwater. And just one day & night, the wind force increased from the breeze to more than four levels.
The cargo was wet, the things were blown away, the preparations before going to sea became more and more difficult, and even impossible ...
You see, there is only one month left for our food, our ship is still on the mountain, our captain is a fool who can only give orders, we have too few sailors available, only a few sailors, they used to be musket ...
But none of this could stop it, and the whole "Ship City" fell into a frenzy before going out to sea.
The boat that people will take, the cruiser "Santa Gabriel", is still at the top of the hill, fifteen meters above the water level-a few ship masts stuck it there, if you want to get her down Impossible, can only wait for the high tide.
So under the leadership of Lu Yuan, people cleared a sloping slide on the side of the hill, connected the "St. Augustine" and "St. Gabriel", and then installed pulley blocks at both ends of the slide. Completely solved the problem of transportation.
Boxes full of coins were hoisted from the bottom of the "St. Augustine", and then pulled by the pulley to the top of the mountain. Packed into the bottom warehouse of the "St. Gabriel", it will be both valuable and high-quality ballast! In addition to Zade Kappa's treasure. Every household also brought their own stored goods. As mentioned before, the Shipwreck City is perhaps the wealthiest town in the entire Caribbean. Each household has tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pesos.
They handed over the money or property to Pedro Hotadu for evaluation, and then received a piece of evidence with the amount. Most of this money will be converted into investment in new usury shops, and 10% of them belong to Lu Yuan's freight, and he only collects the gold.
Everyone is working.
Lieutenant John Walkman, with a dozen or so past sailors found, recruited sailors among the young men and took turns training.
Most of the men are doing physical work such as carrying materials, and the children run on both sides of the ropeway to ensure that the goods will not slip out. The elderly are sorting and sorting supplies, packing them into wooden barrels, wooden boxes, packing or rolling them.
The woman, and anyone who was a little idle, hurried to the ruins of Shipwreck Island. In the past, they were searching for precious objects such as gold, silver, and gemstones. Today, they are searching for all good materials for navigation, such as cannons, canvases, ship boards, food, and wine.
"Seven days left!" Everyone met each other, so they inspired each other, and then passed by in a hurry.
The storm is getting bigger every day.
Every night, they gathered directly in a few large ships to rest, listening to the blessing of the priest and quickly fell asleep.
In the morning. People were assembled on the decks of various boats before breakfast-to exercise.
This is not only to open the body for activities and not to be injured in labor, but also to allow more people to survive the storm. In addition to those young men, there are many women and the elderly in the Shipwreck City. There are also a small number of children.
They are factors that must be considered.
Lu Yuan ’s approach is to openly supply these people with food, and then add some exercise, hoping to strengthen these people ’s system in a short time. As for how much can survive at that time. He also has no idea ...
"Collie shook her big **** ~ and told me you have to work hard all day ..."
"Collie shakes her big **** ~. Tell me that work is never done sooner or later ..."
Many people are jokingly rapping and landing far away specially edited tunes, these vulgar songs can quite relieve fatigue. When everyone knows who Coli is referring to ...
These were first sung by Lu Yuan. Under the influence of his spells, they soon became popular in the "Shipwreck City".
At this time, you can see that some people sing along indifferently, while others are silent, and others express an angry expression.
On a lookout that was invisible to everyone, a large bronze book spread out on its own, and turned over to the inner page of some magic. The falling heavy rain was bounced off by a light white film on the book "Sea Monsters". Every once in a while, the book "Sea Monster" inspires a spell. The magic was like a circle of transparent ripples, passing across everyone nearby. If it is not a heavy rain, even ripples will not exist.
This spell infects everyone with magical aura that is invisible to the naked eye. In Lu Yuan ’s arcane vision, most people are red, and they hate and fear Cole Buso; a small number of people are white, and they do n’t care about Cole Buso, such as Father Padley Angel. There are also people whose aura is azure blue. They worship and love Cole Busso from their hearts. Even though it ’s the mad woman who sinks them into the sea and banishes them here, and never gives the believer any benefit-but the world There is no lack of brain disabilities.
In the following time, some people would trip over the rope occasionally, and then just knocked them into sharp corners and knocked themselves to death. Some people will be dragged into the water by the pale, spectacled "water ghost" while walking by the water, and have never been up again.
In short, the recent casualties are relatively large.
In this regard, Lu Yuan could only shrug and say, "Make a mistake."
"Pull hard!" John Walkman grabbed the cable and cried out in a storm.
"Yo ~ Yo!" A dozen sailors shouted in unison, they tightened their muscles, leaned their bodies together, and the thick cable slowly dragged up a huge blue sail.
"Strong ~ Pull!"
"Yo ~ Yo!"
The open blue sail instantly soaked in rainwater and became heavy like an iron block. The hung wind blew thick blue sails, pulling the sails in reverse. But under the command of John shouting his horn. The sailors still followed the rhythm and applied the blue sail to the predetermined position successfully.
Lu Yuan changed all the "Saint Gabriel" into azure blue canvas. Higher durability means higher sail resistance to storms; and the guarantee of minimum ship speed will prevent the ship from suddenly stalling in the storm. These two improvements made everyone ecstatic. Treated as a gift from God.
They cherish Lanfan even more.
"Fixed!" Installing the sail is the most difficult step, and the next step is to fix it. John Walkman let go of the rope and climbed the rope ladder first.
The previous sailors continued to pull the sails, and under the leadership of John, another group of sailors quickly climbed the rope ladder, put the upper edge of the blue sail and the crossbar on the rope, and fixed it firmly. Transfer the gravity of the sail to the crossbar. This step adds some risks due to the large tilt of the ship. But for residents who jumped around in the wreckage of the ship all day. This is nothing.
"Shut up!" In order to prevent the mast from being destroyed by the increasing storm, the installed sail was pulled up again. But this time the bottom edge is pulled up, the canvas will be folded up on the crossbar, and then tied firmly. When it is necessary to unfold the sail, just cut the fixed rope.
In this layer-by-layer installation, dozens of sails were gradually in place.
...
"Left full rudder ~!"
After installing the sails of the "San Gabriel", the sailors' training venue was transferred to the "Saint Augustine". Within days, everyone in the past can see it. A group of sailors were turning the empty mast of the "St. Augustine" at the command of a growing storm ... they all operated very carefully.
And another group of people cut through the bottom of the "Esmeralda" ship, and then the men all over the city took turns to train-learn how to rock the lever. Withdraw the accumulated water in the bottom silo.
Controlling the wheel rudder, maneuvering the sails and draining the accumulated water are the three essential tasks for crossing the storm.
"St. Gabriel" is like a tinkering bottle, although it does not leak. But it can't be said how useful it is.
Henrik Van Dyck's twenty years of work only made it into a ship. A vessel that can sail to sea. If she wants her to be able to complete the normal sailing with perfect performance, then there is unlimited work to be done!
Among the two hundred people in the shipwreck city. Lu Yuan's carpentry rank is second only to Henrik Van Dyke. So he holds seven or eight tools every day and is busy in the cabin. However, he has tentacles to help, and has a deputy brain command, efficiency is often the sum of several people, he alone undertakes most of the basic transformation work. Lu Yuan has been involved in the enhancement of the "Siren" and "Maria" before, and these tasks are easy for him.
"Captain!" John the Bald hurried in and hurried in. Although there was no one around, he still leaned over to Lu Yuan's ear and whispered a report. Come……"
"So now?"
"Arranged people to keep guard, I'll come back to report first." John said in a panic. Lu Yuan arranged that he was on duty at the place where the East India Company and Zade Kappa met. This is the information Lu Yuan directly read from his mind. Lu Yuan's original plan was to let John take someone to ambush, it was better to **** the boat, but no one came?
Lu Yuan thought about it and shook his head. "Withdraw people, the ship will not come."
The only reason why the East India Company ’s ships could n’t enter the shipwreck island was that Cole Buso did not expect them to enter.
Another option was completely cut off-first the dive boat, then the East India Company, and now there was only the only option "San Gabriel" ... Colibri was tightening her noose.
If Cole Busso destroys Shipwreck Island now, Lu Yuan ’s only way is to hide in the deep sea and dive back a little bit! He now has "The Book of Sea Monsters", and the sea will not drown him.
But Lu Yuan knew that this crazy woman was still playing, she hadn't taken it seriously! Lu Yuan couldn't guess what her plan was, and it was to be destroyed when the manufacture of the "San Gabriel" was completed? Or destroy all the food and make them a little bit desperate? But Lu Yuan knew that she would push all the fleeors into the abyss when everyone thought victory was in sight.
"How much dry gunpowder has accumulated?" Lu Yuan asked.
"There are only fifteen barrels. We have been using the drying method, which is too dangerous to operate!"
"Well, do the waterproof work for the gunpowder barrels and leads. I want you to put these gunpowder barrels here, here, and here ..." He quickly hooked on the map of the Shipwreck City and listed the need for gunpowder The number of barrels ... "Okay, that's it, let's arrange it!"
Then there was the priest. In any case, he asked Lu Yuan to leave him a place on the ship as a chapel, and put forward a lot of moral requirements. The two quarreled and spit each other. The final result was that Lu Yuan vowed not to plunder ordinary people, and the priest vowed not to refuse anyone to enter the church. After that, the two sides reached an understanding. Lu Yuan was on the second deck, under the artillery deck He found a place to serve as a church and infirmary.
Then, the shop owner reported the material collection ...
Lu Yuan went to the next work place while handling the affairs.
When passing by the stern, he saw Henrik van Dyck installing the rudder. The wheel rudder is a "new gadget" that has only appeared in the past ten years. Henrik Van Dyck, a veteran shipbuilder, also needs to learn and sell now. Seeing Lu Yuan passing by, he sneered, raised his hand, and a gear was drawn into an arc, and fell into the sea on the side!
"Ah! I'm sorry, it was a mistake!" Henrik Van Dyke pretended to say, "But if you give me a million pesos ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I will work overtime overnight, and make another one!"
Lu Yuan coldly took off the large bronze book hanging from his waist and flew a kick to kick it into the sea! Then the two stood opposite each other so angrily, staring at each other with glaring eyes!
It didn't take long for the sea monster's soul to fly out of the water with a bronze book. After a period of study in the world, the soul of the sea monster has a little wisdom and is able to act autonomously. Now it was holding the gear in its tentacles and happily revolving around the landing, seemingly having a lot of fun-its consciousness constantly sent signals to Lu Yuan, "Let's throw it again!", "Let's throw it again!" … There was almost no tail wagging.
Lu Yuan slapped the gear in Henrik Van Dyck's palm, causing his old face to twitch.
"Working attitude is not good, 50,000 pesos deducted!" Lu Yuan finished the punishment he made one by one, and then left on his own, leaving Henrik Van Dyck screaming and protesting.
The two million pesos amount proposed by the old shipbuilder, of which 1.4 million is the money needed to upgrade the ship, and the remaining 600,000 pesos is his reward. Lu Yuan does not buckle much, that will affect his work efficiency, as long as he is heartbroken enough ... (to be continued ...) ()
