Lu Chuan just wanted to make it simple, otherwise, with Lu Chuan’s ability, not to mention applying for the gunner or swordsman of the Armed Forces, he would say that from the accountant to the warehouseman, to the deputy, the gunner…there is no one that Lu Chuan can’t do.
This Neptune is currently the top armed merchant ship in the Star Empire and contains a series of current high-tech.
But Lu Chuan sneered at the high technology of the seventeenth century.
The technology he owns is even the ninth-level civilization, and these technologies are currently completely theological-level technologies for the civilization of this planet. Take the star-gathering gun as an example, they couldn’t imagine what this gun could do.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire planet can’t hold a shot of the star-gathering gun, it will directly explode.
Lu Chuan had no problem operating a sailboat.
But so tired, I have to stare at the post from time to time.
But unloaders are different. They are not even sailors, they just carry goods. They went on board, went out with the ship, and returned with the ship. They carried the goods on the ship before departure, and unloaded the goods when they arrived at the destination. The money they would get back and forth would not be less.
While sailing, they are free, as long as they do not break into important places, they are completely free on deck.
The reason why Neptune needed recruits this time was mainly because it had experienced a naval battle before and encountered a pirate fleet. Relying on powerful firepower, Neptune, an armed merchant ship, forced the pirate fleet back.
Of course, the Neptune also suffered damages, not only to the hull, but also to the crew.
After repairing for a month, the current Neptune is about to set sail, and naturally it needs to be refilled.
Ordinarily, there will be no loading and unloading workers, after all, they can’t help when fighting, they can only stay in the cabin. But the thing is so strange. The ship’s side of the Sea King was penetrated by a shell, which happened to be the room on the floor where the stevedores were located. This shell shattered six stevedores and injured three.
This is still the power of a solid bullet. If it is a bomb, I am afraid that none of the more than 20 stevedores will survive.
Lu Chuan didn’t deliberately inquire, but after listening to the chats of the gunners here, he still knew a little bit.
The gunner should be the most technical and the most important position in the entire ship. This armed merchant ship is equipped with 72 artillery, which is definitely armed to the teeth, not even inferior to ordinary sailing battleships. You must know like this one. The sail battleship of the size is only equipped with 108 artillery.
Each artillery requires three gunners to operate, and these 72 artillery alone require more than two hundred gunners. After counting the reserve gunners, the number of gunners has reached an astonishing 300.
Not only that, but there are also musketeers, who will be placed on the ship’s side during the war to prevent the opponent from being connected to the ship.
The musketeers are swordsmen. They are responsible for close hand-to-hand combat. Generally speaking, they are rarely used. Once they are used, the result is the most tragic.
The number of musketeers plus swordsmen is about sixty.
Next, it is the sailors. They are in charge of operating the ship, with a number of about fifty people.
Counting the various bosses, as well as loading and unloading workers like Lu Chuan, the crew of the entire Sea King has reached 450, which is a very large number. With this strength, the Sea King can be used as a warship.
With more staffing, the expenditure will naturally increase. The cargo hold of the Neptune is not comparable to a specialized trading vessel, and it carries much less cargo.
After one trip, Lu Chuan heard from the gunners that he actually didn’t make a lot of money.
Only when the goods carried by a certain kind of ship are hot-selling in the local area, the profits will be considerable.
In fact, the main source of profit for the Neptune is to be the leader, acting as the work of escorting the ship. After all, the firepower of the Neptune is too strong to be inferior to a battleship. Among the pirates, it cannot be said that there is no better than the Sea King, but there are really not many.
Lu Chuan doesn’t speak much, and he listens to them more often, so he knows the information of this era.
After experiencing this, there is an unspeakable sense of freshness, 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, it seems like another parallel space on the earth.
Each universe is actually a different parallel space. The difference is the bead where each governor is located, and its universe is different.
Like the human beads in Lu Chuan’s hands, there are billions of parallel spaces in a billion-trillion-weight universe.
Moreover, the time nodes of these parallel spaces are quite different. After all, the development of the earth in every universe is not static. It is possible that some events will cause the earth to go another way.
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 the development of two concepts.
Mela’s charm, in just three days, recruited enough people she needed.
Those who can meet the conditions are the best among them.
In this way, the strength of the Sea King has been slightly improved, not to mention the recovery.
Of course, besides admiring Mela, the other manpower who arrived was that the Sea King gave a lot of money. In this era, only money is the most important thing. They don’t care what they do to board the ship, but it is actually money.
In the past three days, what Lu Chuan heard in his ears was naturally more of a way of chatting with men as the main line, such as what kind of port women tasted good, who and who met what kind of top women, etc., and occasionally felt a little daring. The big one put the fantasy object on Mela’s body.
Sailors have floated at sea for years, and naturally they need these most.
In each port, there are naturally women who can satisfy them everywhere, so the money they make is almost a squandering once they call at the port.
On the fourth day, as the supervisor shouted, Lu Chuan and 20 other unloading workers arrived at the dock.
Here, a large amount of cargo was brought in by carriages, and Lu Chuan and the others needed to move all these cargoes into the cabin.
This job is very simple and not complicated. Just be careful and make no mistakes.
Lu Chuan took a look at these goods, which were very diverse, from tea to glass products, to iron products, and then silk. This world is not the earth, so the output of goods is naturally very different.
Lu Chuan didn’t have the mind to figure out these goods, and he didn’t need money. He was on this ship just to experience the taste of a sailor.
“Leave the heaviest to me. You can move the light ones.” Lu Chuan said, naturally attracting the gratitude of the other unloaders.
Lu Chuan can easily carry two or three hundred kilograms of cargo and move it onto the ship in great strides.
This action, I don’t know how many people sucked in the cold, this is definitely a natural supernatural power. This kind of person is definitely of the monster level. To know how many people, more than a hundred catties is already the limit. Seeing Lu Chuan’s relaxed look, is he far from reaching his upper limit?
The gunners on the boat, they are idle now, pointing at Lu Chuan and others below from the side of the boat, sometimes laughing.
“What about looking good? How about having strength? Isn’t it just a coolie?”
“It’s better to find a rich woman to take care of me instead of working as an unloader here.”
“You said, this guy looks strong and powerful, but in fact it is a kind of straw bag, the kind that has a few hastily on the bed? Or why doesn’t he eat soft rice and run here as a coolie?”
Rare topics made these gunners interested, and they were able to talk vigorously one by one, constantly guessing.
Of course, Lu Chuan’s ears could be heard clearly, there was no wave in his heart, and he didn’t teach them what they were thinking. Moving these goods gave Lu Chuan a sense of being involved in this era. It was very fresh, and it was naturally fun to work.
It took three full days for one ship to move the cargo before it was finally full.
Twenty unloading workers, one by one, became tired into dogs, and only Lu Chuan seemed okay.
Mela was not on the ship. The Neptune was temporarily in charge of the chief mate, a retired rear admiral with forty years of sea experience. He has retired and served as the chief mate under the high salary of the Neptune.
After the goods are full, it is a replenishment.
A large amount of fresh water and dry food are carried on ships, such as vegetables and fruits. There are a lot of meat. One replenishment can last about a month and a half. Because the route is established, it will pass every few days. For a port, this supply is sufficient.
Everyone on the ship knew that it was about to set sail, so their expressions became more serious.
On this day, Mela definitely came here in a carriage, and there were also many young and old in the port. They were greedy for Mela’s beauty and wanted to get it one by one. It’s a pity that Mela’s status and strength make them dare not to be rough at all, and can only pursue it through normal means.
Mela didn’t seem to give these young people a face, and when he arrived here, carrying his own luggage and a few guards boarded the Sea King, and these young and old were all stopped outside the ship.
When the captain arrived, everyone no longer dared to relax. Amidst the cries of the steward, the armed merchant ship was inspected for the last time.
After confirming that there was no problem, Mela gathered all the crew members. She stood on the deck and said vigorously: “Most of them are old people. Everyone knows my style of doing things, so let’s not say much. Everyone works hard. Let us have a smooth journey.”
Mela said very few things, and when she finished speaking, she disbanded.
Of course, some ceremonies before going to sea are still indispensable, but they are performed by the first officer.
When the sun was flooding the ground, the Sea King hung up the sails amid the roar of the sailors, and then left the pier. After leaving the port, it stopped again. It was about an hour or so, the size of the ship. Trade ships at 30-50 meters were added to the fleet headed by the Sea King.
“Full sail.”
The first officer yelled, he stood on the highest deck and commanded.
Under the suggestion given by the surveyor, the stewards took the sailors to fill up the sails, and then adjusted the direction of the sails. Under the wind, they pushed the huge armed merchant ship to ride the wind and waves.
The huge sails, one by one, the sailors have exhausted their strength and are rising.
The Neptune, which had profited from its momentum, adjusted its direction amidst bursts of noise, and began to continuously increase its speed.
The large and small ships behind, got the banner of the Sea King, and followed with full sails.
Now is the time for a tailwind, and it is expected that the speed of this fleet will not slow down in the next few hours. The time of sailing is calculated, and it is most suitable for the sailing. In the case of tailwind, the speed can be increased and the destination can be reached earlier.
In the era of sailing, the speed is uncontrollable. When the wind is upwind, the speed is fast, and when the wind is upwind, it will move slowly.
Lu Chuan walked out of the cabin and 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 disappearing to the horizontal surface.
Here, there are a lot of ships coming and going, but in the future, there will be fewer and fewer ships, and even ten days and a half months will not encounter a ship.
“The era of great voyages, I’m here.”
Lu Chuan was in a good mood.
