Lu Chuan just wanted to be simpler. Otherwise, with Lu Chuan's ability, not to mention the number of players who applied for the armed forces or the swordsman, he said that from the accountant to the warehouse manager, to the deputy, and gunner on the ship... there is no one Lu Chuan cannot do it.

This Neptune is currently the top armed merchant ship in the Star Empire, and contains a series of current high-tech technologies.

But Lu Chuan sneered at the high technology of the 17th century.

What they have mastered is even the technology of a level nine civilization. At present, these technologies are completely theological-level technology for the civilization on this planet. Take the Star Gathering Spear as an example, they can't imagine what this gun can do.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire planet can't withstand the shot of the Star Gathering Gun, and it will explode directly.

Lu Chuan is no problem in operating a sailing ship.

But it's so tiring that I have to keep an eye on the job.

But the unloader is different. They are not even sailors, they are just carrying goods. They go on the boat, leave with the boat, and return with the boat. They move goods onto the boat before departure, and unload the goods when they arrive at the destination. The money they get back and forth will not be less.

During the sailing process, they are free, as long as they do not break into important places, they are completely free people on the deck.

The reason why Neptune needed to recruit personnel this time was mainly because it had experienced a naval battle before and encountered a pirate fleet. Relying on its powerful firepower, the armed merchant ship of Neptune forced the pirate fleet back.

Of course, Aquaman is also damaged, not only refers to the hull, but also the crew.

After a month of repair, the current Aquaman is about to set sail, so naturally we need to replenish the crew.

It is said that they would not have to be loaders. After all, when they were fighting, they could not help and could only stay in the cabin. But the matter was so strange. A cannonball was penetrated by a shell on the side of the ship, which happened to be the room on the floor where the loaders were located. This shell smashed six loaders and unloaders and injured three people.

This is still the power of a solid bomb. If it is a flower bomb, I am afraid that none of these more than 20 loaders and unloaders will survive.

Lu Chuan didn't deliberately inquire, but after hearing the gunners' chat here, how many people know about it?

The gunner should be the most technical and important position in the entire ship. This armed merchant ship is equipped with 72 artillery pieces, which is definitely armed to the teeth, and is not even worse than ordinary sail battleships. You should know that sail battleships of this size are only equipped with 108 artillery pieces.

Each cannon requires three gunners to operate. For these 72 cannons alone, more than two hundred gunners are needed. After counting the reserve gunners, the number of gunners reached an astonishing 300.

Not only that, there are also ** hands. They will be placed on the side of the ship during war to prevent the other party from fighting on the side.

Apart from the stern hands, they are swordsmen. They are responsible for close combat. Generally speaking, they are rarely used. Once they are used, they will be successful.

**With the hand and the swordsman, the number of people is about 60.

Next, there were sailors, who were responsible for operating the ships, with a number of about fifty people.

Including the leaders of all sizes and loaders like Lu Chuan, the crew of the entire Neptune ship reached 450, a very large number. This strength can be used as a warship.

With more staffing, the expenses will naturally be greater. The cargo holds of the Neptune cannot be compared with specialized trading ships, and there are much less cargo on it.

After a trip, Lu Chuan heard from the gunners that he actually didn't make much money.

Only when you encounter goods that are sold locally in a hot spot, will the profit be considerable.

In fact, the source of profit of Aquaman is mainly to be the leader and serve as a guard ship. After all, Aquaman's firepower is too strong and no less than a warship. Among the pirates, there cannot be said that there are no ones that are stronger than Aquaman, but there are really not many.

Lu Chuan didn't talk much, and most of the time he was listening to them and thus knew the information of this era.

After experiencing these things, it makes me feel indescribable, and it should be said that I have participated in it. The current era of this planet is too much like the earth, which gives Lu Chuan a lot of illusions, which seems to be another parallel space on the earth.

Universes are actually different parallel spaces. The difference is that the beads where each governor is located, and its universe is different.

Like the human beads in Lu Chuan's hand, there are billions of parallel spaces in the universe.

Moreover, the time nodes of these parallel spaces are not quite equal. After all, the development of the earth in each universe is not static. Some events may lead to the earth moving towards another path.

In this way, the reference value of parallel space is not great. The development of the earth in each universe is different. Some are similar, but some are completely a development of two concepts.

Mela's charm was recruiting enough people she needed in just three days.

All those who can meet the conditions are the best among them.

In this way, not only will the strength of Aquaman be restored, but it will also be slightly improved.

Of course, in addition to admiring Mela, the other person who arrived was that the Aquaman gave a lot of money. In this era, only money is the most important thing. What they boarded the ship regardless of life and death is actually money.

During these three days, Lu Chuan heard more of the chatting methods with men as the main line, such as the women at the port tasted good, whoever met the best woman, etc. Occasionally, he would be a little bolder and put his fantasy object on Mela.

The sailors have been floating on the sea for many years, so naturally they need these things most.

Of course, they can satisfy their women everywhere on the ports, so the money they earn will be squandered as soon as they stop at the port.

On the fourth day, with the shouts of the manager, Lu Chuan and twenty unloaders arrived at the dock.

Here, carriages transported a large amount of cargo, and Lu Chuan and others needed to move all of this cargo into the cabin.

This job is very simple and not complicated. Just be careful and don't make any mistakes.

Lu Chuan looked at these goods, and there were many kinds, from tea to glass products, to iron products, and silk, etc. The world is not the earth, so the product output is naturally very different.

Lu Chuan didn't have the heart to figure out these goods, and he didn't need money. On this boat, it was just to experience the taste of sailors.

"Leave the heaviest one for me, you can move the small one." Lu Chuan said, which naturally attracted the gratitude of other unloaders.

Lu Chuan could easily carry the goods of two or three hundred kilograms and move them onto the ship.

I don’t know how many people sucked in cold air. This is definitely a natural divine power. Such people are definitely at the monster level. If you know how many people you have, more than 100 pounds is the limit. Looking at Lu Chuan’s relaxed appearance, he is far from reaching his upper limit?

The gunners on the ship were idle now, pointing at Lu Chuan and others below on the side of the ship, and laughing from time to time.

"So what if you look good, so what if you have strength? You can only be a coolie?"

"If I were to find a rich woman to support her, it would be better than to be an unloader here."

"You guys think this guy looks strong and powerful, but in fact he is just a fool, and he just makes trouble on the bed? Otherwise, why don't he eat soft food and go here to be a coolie?"

The rare topic made these gunners interested, and they were able to chat and kept guessing.

Of course, Lu Chuan's ears could be heard clearly. He had no trouble in his heart and did not teach them a lesson. Moving these goods made Lu Chuan feel like he was involved in this era. It was very fresh, and he would naturally be happy when he worked.

It took three days to move the goods of a ship to be fully filled.

The unloaders of twenty people were exhausted one by one, and only Lu Chuan seemed to be fine.

Mela was not on the ship. The first mate of the Aquaman was temporarily in charge. A retired major general with 40 years of experience going to sea. He has retired and served as the first mate under the high salary of the Aquaman.

After the goods are full, it is a supplement to the supply.

A large amount of fresh water and dry food were carried onto ships, such as vegetables and fruits, and there were a lot of meat. They could last for about one and a half months at a time. Since the route was formulated, they would pass through a port every few days, and this supply was enough.

Everyone on the ship knew that sailing was about to set, so their expressions became more serious.

On this day, Mela definitely came in a carriage, and there were many young men in the port who were jealous of Mela's beauty and wanted to get it one by one. Unfortunately, Mela's status and strength made them dare not move at all, and they could only pursue it through normal means.

Mela seemed not to show these young men's face. When she got here, she boarded the Neptune with her luggage and several guards, and all of them were stopped outside the ship.

When the captain arrived, everyone no longer dared to relax. With the shouts of the manager, they conducted the last inspection of the armed merchant ship.

After confirming that there was no problem, Mela gathered all the crew members. She stood on the deck and said enthusiastically: "Most of them are old people. Everyone knows my style of conduct. I won't say much. Everyone works hard to make our journey smoothly."

Mela rarely said anything, and after she finished speaking, she would disband.

Of course, some rituals before going to sea are still indispensable, but the first mate will do it.

When the sun shone on the ground, the sails of Neptune hung up amid the roars of the sailors, and then left the dock and stopped again outside the port. About an hour, more than a dozen trade ships with a size of 30-50 meters were added to the fleet led by Neptune.

"Full sail."

The first mate shouted, and he stood on the highest deck and directed.

Under the advice given by the surveyor, the managers began to take their sailors to fill the sails, then adjust the direction of the sails, and under the wind, pushing this huge armed merchant ship to ride the wind and waves.

The huge sails, the sailors were rising with all their strength.

The Aquaman, which made the profit, adjusted its direction with the sounds and began to continuously increase its speed.

The ships behind were given the banner of the Neptune and also filled the sails.

Now is the time for a good wind, and it is expected that the speed of this fleet will not be slow in the next few hours. The time to set sail is calculated, which is most suitable for the boat trip. In the case of a good wind, it can increase the speed and arrive at the destination earlier.

In the sailing era, the speed is uncontrollable. The speed is fast when the wind is up, and the speed will be slow when the wind is up.

Lu Chuan walked out of the cabin, stood on the side of the ship, looking at the endless sea, behind the fleet, this huge port was constantly being pulled away and gradually disappeared on the horizontal plane.

Here, there are many ships coming and going, but next, there will be fewer and fewer ships, and you won’t even encounter a ship in ten days or half a month.

"I'm here in the Age of Discovery."
