At this time, the "skinny" Dako, who had been staying by the side for a long time, trotted over with a flattering smile on his face:
"Boss, it's already ready!"
As he said that, he kicked open the wooden board next to it, and there was a not too small fish pond in the bottom cabin, and there were at least dozens of fish swimming in it.
Sheyan nodded, put on the gloves with a stiff expression, and mechanically stuffed a gold coin into the belly of the fish. Of course, the fish was in great pain, but Sheyan then took a wooden stopper and put the fish He blocked his mouth and threw the fish into the sea.
Obviously, this unlucky bastard with a length of half a meter is bound to die, but the pain before death will make it swim crazily for a hundred nautical miles, two hundred nautical miles? This is actually not important, what is important is that the Black Pearl had to devote all its energy to hunting and searching for these gold coins that "will automatically run away with long legs", this is Sheyan's purpose.
After giving the order to set sail, Fang Senyan continued to do these tasks on the bow. For some reason, he always felt a little stiff in his gestures, but it was not convenient for other people if he didn't say it himself. Make an inquiry.
By virtue of his military rank privilege, Sheyan has obtained a crucial piece of information after paying 10,000 utility points:
That is, the Pirates of the Caribbean's sensitivity to Aztec gold coins is only general, and there is no way to be accurate to specific numbers, and at most they can only determine the approximate range of a few hundred square meters where the gold coins are located, and there is no way to be precise. superior.
For example, Sheyan has 821 gold coins here, and a fish 300 nautical miles away has a gold coin in its stomach, so they can only know that there are gold coins at Sheyan's current coordinates, and there are gold coins at the fish coordinates 300 nautical miles away . There is no way to know that grabbing Sheyan's side is the most efficient action.
As fish with gold coins in their bellies were released one after another, it was obvious that the crew on the Black Pearl began to struggle. For them, every Aztec gold coin must be obtained, which means that they may have to change their careers to become a guest fisherman for a long time from now to the next.
Fang Sheyan stopped after releasing seven fish, because with his own "Dingyuan" ship, there was already enough confusion, what they need to do now is to release seven or eight fish after sailing for one or two hundred nautical miles, and then continue Sail to the mainland closest to Treasure Island.
Before this, some pirates planned to take advantage of the time when the group of black dugongs had been killed to pieces to loot the hidden treasure of the Black Pearl. Sighing, followed Fang Sheyan and sailed away. Fortunately, Sheyan managed to snag a few valuable items, such as the heart of the ocean, which occupies a small area and has a high value...
…
Twelve hours later, the Dingyuan had already left the area of the Lost Sea, and the blue sky, white clouds and endless sea appeared before everyone's eyes. The thick bow cut deep into the blue ocean, splashing a lot of white waves. The oarsmen next to him were divided into three shifts, vigorously pulling the two-foot-long oars, and pushing this heavy big thing quickly to the distance.
At this time, after the speed of Dingyuan was enhanced, it could basically be compared with the speed of a normal merchant ship. That is to say, if there were no external factors interfering, it would only take two days for 1,300 nautical miles.
"It's about time." Sheyan stood on the bow of the boat and said with a blank expression, "If the black pearl is really as magical as Mr. Chauvin said, then it must be about fifty nautical miles behind our buttocks." .”
At this time, Fang Senyan had another cage at hand, and all the cages were filled with seabirds. He put one gold coin after another into the small skin bag, and then fastened the skin bag to the seabird's claws. superior.
"Fly, my friend."
In a short period of time, ten seabirds carrying gold coins and ten sea fish that were forced to swallow gold coins were released again, and they flew in different directions. Pirates are a huge problem.
"If we do this, it's almost impossible for Barbosa and the others to catch up with us." The black buddies couldn't help but excitedly said.
Sheyan shook his head and said:
"This is not always the case. Of course we can confuse Barbosa at the beginning, but when we are halfway through the voyage, Barbosa will definitely judge based on our course that our goal is to reach that new continent. We must use this To kill the biggest advantage of the Black Pearl, then they can only track the gold coins moving in the direction of the New World. Under such circumstances, with the strong speed advantage of the Black Pearl, the distance between the two sides must be getting closer. If If my estimate is correct, the really difficult voyage should be within the last hundred nautical miles from the New World!"
The black buddies suddenly said:
"We can blackmail them by throwing gold coins into the deep sea, which is what the female pig feet did in the movie."
"She can do that, but we can't." Fang Sheyan said flatly, "Don't forget that this is a world of magic, gold coins dropped into the deep sea can be driven by marine life to salvage them, but I guess it might cost Barbossa a lot More importantly, the reason why Barbosa compromised with Swann Elizabeth was that he suspected that Miss Swann's blood was the final step to unlock the curse, so what Barbosa was really afraid of at the time was Swann Elizabeth's suicide, while Not gold coins!"
After listening to Sheyan's answer, Jiaoshi looked at him, and after a while, he answered irrelevantly:
"Why do I always think you're getting weird?"
Sheyan lowered his eyes but did not look at him:
"Have it?"
Jiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief, frowned and looked at Sheyan:
"I can't tell what's strange, it's just... probably because I've been too nervous recently."
The corner of Fang Sheyan's mouth twitched. For some reason, this movement reminded people of dry leaves falling for no reason.
"Yes, you are indeed too nervous."
…
Just less than 60 nautical miles away from the New World, they released ten birds and ten fish at Sheyan again. Less than half an hour later, the mast of the Black Pearl appeared on the sea in the distance.
Under the monitoring and judgment of the naked eye radar, Barbosa, the old sea wolf, would no longer be confused, and he firmly bit the Dingyuan.
The black, abrupt sail mast seems to be piercing into the sky.
It's like a dark cloud that hides the sea.
The Black Pearl is here!
Fang Senyan and the others were able to sail here, in fact, they have tried their best, but it is still too early to say that the success falls short.
The atmosphere on the boat became tense all of a sudden, Sheyan stood at the bow of the boat, and calmly issued a series of instructions:
"Bring Chauvin up."
"Redbeard in place, gunner in place."
"Sailman in position."
"Nanuk is in place."
"All the oarsmen come in, and paddle at full speed."
"..."
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Just one minute later, the sixteen cannons that were pushed to the stern of the ship through the slide rails shot out tongues of flame at the same time. This was the first test firing organized by Redbeard!
This time, most of the shells landed on the Black Pearl, which was approaching from the tail, causing a splash of water. It can be seen that the artillery team that Fang Sheyan painstakingly built before was definitely not useless.
The hoarse voice of the red beard suddenly sounded again:
"Hinge...all replaced with hinge bombs!"
The hinge bomb is specially used to kill the mast and sail of the enemy ship. Its shell is very similar to the meteor hammer. It consists of two iron balls and an iron chain with a length of three to five meters. Afterwards, it hovered at high speed after tightening in the air, very sharp.
After the dull sound of "dong dong dong", black gunpowder smoke filled the air, but it was blown away by the sea breeze in an instant. The salvo power of a full sixteen guns was indeed quite terrifying. It can be seen that there is a mast of the Black Pearl It has collapsed, and the sail beside it has been torn. Its speed dropped all of a sudden.
But at this time, piercing whistling sounded in the air, and the Black Pearl was unwilling to be passively beaten and began to fight back. Two or three puffs of black smoke rose from its bow, but it was soon seen that two or three puffs from the stern of the Dingyuan A few jets of water rose from a distance of more than 100 meters. Obviously, in terms of the range of the gun positions, the Black Pearl would lag behind the Dingyuan.
It was just that the lookout soon reported back, saying that the Black Pearl was repairing the mast at an alarming speed, and its speed was also recovering rapidly. Chauvin said with a sullen face:
"I suggest allocating half of the gun positions to aim at the figurehead of the Black Pearl. Once it is hit, it cannot be repaired with the ability of carpentry. It can only be repaired slowly and automatically. This process takes as long as possible. Twelve hours, and it can also reduce the movement speed of the Black Pearl by 15% immediately."
Fang Sheyan immediately "followed goodness", leaving only four cannons to fire chain bombs to continue to destroy the sails of Black Pearl, and then the remaining twelve cannons were replaced with solid bullets to bombard the figurehead with concentrated firepower!
After ten minutes of tenacious suppression of firepower, a puff of black smoke finally rose. The crew on the Black Pearl ran like ants, and there was a shrill and shrill sound from the sea. The figurehead had been hit by a five-pound buckshot, from which a thin white cloud of smoke condensed into a mermaid bust that twisted and dissipated. Obviously also suffered a lot of damage.
