Act 279 Recruiting Cannon Fodder
The pirates stared at the collar blankly, feeling a little tingling on their necks.
Oh my God! The wooden board just now was made of oak with a thick fist! Is it still a problem to blow off such thick oak and blow your neck?
When they thought of this, the pirates who were planning to find an opportunity to escape in the future immediately extinguished their thoughts and could only lament that they were not lucky. Why did they encounter a monster from the other side of the Endless Sea this time!
A bold pirate raised his hand tremblingly and asked, "Can I know what our job will be in the future?"
Bai Gang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are the best at it."
The pirate was stunned at first, and then realized that His Majesty the King planned to make them his "seaters"!
The so-called "sea dog" is the official pirates raised by major kingdoms, which specializes in looting merchant ships from hostile countries. After the robbery, you can return to your master's house to sell stolen goods!
Although they are inevitably going to pay a large amount of protection fees to the master, their identity has been cleaned up after all! At least within the master's sphere of influence, they can swagger in the street to spend time and drink!
This is much better than the career of a black householder who has never spent money in the past!
However, the glory of "sea dog" has become a thing of the past. At that time, there were great open and secret struggles within the human kingdom, so "sea dog" was popular. However, the threats faced by humans at this time were too great that most of the internal struggles turned into conspiracy competitions, and it was very rare to actually take action.
I just don’t know what His Majesty the king in front of me wants to do.
Bai Gang stretched out two fingers and said, "You have two things in total.
The first thing is to help me find out the pirates who are not supported by powerful forces and swallow them!
The second thing is, I need you to map the charts of the nearby seas!"
After Bai Gang finished speaking, all the pirates fell into a state of dullness. After a while, the pirate who asked the question just now was the first to react and spoke again timidly.
"That... Your Majesty, we are very proud to be able to get... your appreciation, but we are afraid we really can't do what you said..."
As he said that, the pirate's face became bitter.
"You have all the most powerful ships that we have been sunk. The remaining ships have little combat effectiveness. If you want to fight with other pirates, you really have little chance of winning...
Also, surveying, mapping and charting... only navigators understand it. We ordinary sailors are not qualified to learn that kind of powerful technology.
Moreover, the most powerful of us have savings, and they can redeem themselves, and without them we will be even more unlikely to fulfill your orders by Your Majesty.”
As soon as the pirate finished speaking, he won the approval of others.
They are now a group of defeated soldiers and want to annex others!? Is it just a joke! When those pirate leaders of all sizes redeem themselves, they can only rely on sailors who don’t know a single word to drive a boat, but survey and map the charts!?
They would rather jump onto someone else's boat with a knife in their mouths and fight for their lives with them!
Bai Gang just smiled indifferently when asked about these pirates.
"It doesn't matter if the boat is not good, I will give it to you. What do you think of my boat?"
The pirates' breathing suddenly became heavy. Who wouldn't want to own a good ship if you make a living at sea?? Could it be that His Majesty the King planned to give us an iron warship?
Then what's the difficulty of traversing the sea!?
Just a bunch of little pirates who are not in a climate, it is easy to sweep away!
But before the pirates could finish their YY, Baigang poured cold water on them.
"Of course, at the beginning, you could only modify it based on these ships.
You will have a new automated composite sail. In addition to being lighter and more durable, the entire sail can be controlled by the ship spirit itself. The captain only needs to give orders.
In addition to sails, you can also get the simple version of the Karon cannon. Although its power is not as powerful as my ship used in the battle just now, it is definitely much better than your crossbow!
Every time you complete the task, you can get contribution points. If you have enough contribution points, you can exchange me for more advanced equipment. As long as you complete enough tasks, even a real steel warship will not be able to give it to you!
As for surveying and mapping charts, there is no need to worry about this, the ship spirit will do everything."
The transformation plan Bai Gang mentioned is to use modern sailing automatic control systems to transform the power of the corsair ship, and at the same time give them some original versions of artillery.
The so-called Karon cannon is simply a short and thick cannon dedicated to sailing ships. It has great power and low recoil, but its range is extremely close and its accuracy is touching!
The reason why this kind of cannon was popular in the sail era was because at that time, people could not shoot accurately on the shaking hull. The artillery battle was almost like facing each other. At that time, the shortcomings of the Karon cannon were the same as none, but the advantages could be infinitely magnified.
The Karon cannon provided to the pirates naturally would not be a black powder cannon. Bai Gang and others did not have the energy to make fun of things for a group of pirates. They were just simple cannons made by the processing factory, and they used the mortar's launching medicine to make do with it.
But even so, this thing can escape the pirates' crossbows!
As for surveying and mapping, naturally, the sailboat is equipped with automated surveying and mapping equipment. At that time, the sailboat only needs to be regularly returned to the storm angle to maintain the maintenance to keep these equipment running.
The pirates don't know what automatic sail control is, but they know the ship spirit and the steel warship!
Ship Spirit is a legend that is circulated by all people who seek life on the sea. It is said that only those legendary warships can have their own souls. Now, His Majesty the King actually said that he would give them these shabby pirate ship spirits!?
If all legendary things like ship spirit can be given, then isn’t this king the legendary sea god?
Also, as long as you work hard to complete the mission, you can get the steel warship!?
Oh my God! That's an iron warship! The steel that can float on the sea!
At this time, the pirates looked at Bai Gang with a hint of fanaticism, and an idea vaguely emerged in their hearts--the only one who can do such a magical thing is probably the only one in the Sea God!
Think about what this legendary king did - across the endless sea that no one can get involved, eliminating the storm that never subsides!
This is really the sea god!
They can actually do things for the Sea God next!? This is much better than being a pirate!
Bai Gang's actions next made the pirates' fanaticism reach a fixed point.
"Crash!"
Baigang sprinkled a handful of mitral coins!
Chapter completed!
