"Due to the 1000-yard radius of the sea, most of the game system functions will be disabled, but the character skills will still be usable. When he was 1000 yards away from the sea, the game system would automatically recover.”
After reading the notification, Tongo's expression returned to normal. He hired a carriage, paid the fare generously, and let the coachman pull him to the seaside. He sat in the bumpy carriage and observed the game system in his mind. When he got close to the sea, the system was activated again.
After this verification, it proved that this game system could only be used at sea and would not work on land.
He returned to the Black Pearl and brought the sailors to a hotel. Only the troublemaker was still locked up in the cell. However, Tongo had left enough food for the troublemaker and did not intend to starve it to death.
The seaside was filled with all kinds of business opportunities. There was a group of people who were responsible for attracting customers. When they saw sailors disembarking, they would surround them and pull them to their own hotels.
" During your stay in Port Carlin, you can indulge yourself. However, you must ensure that there are two people waiting in the inn every day. Because I have to plan for going out to sea again, I need someone to run errands for me.”Tongo said to the burly sailors.
The sailors agreed one after another, and Tongo gave them some gold coins, enough for them to squander for a month.
"Captain, do you know where there are prostitutes in this place?”A sailor winked.
Most pirates lived a life of drunkenness. When they ran out of money, they would go on pirate ships to adventure. When they had money, they would go ashore to enjoy themselves. When their pockets were empty, they would be kicked out by the brothel's madam.
The sailors were free, but Tongo had a few urgent matters to attend to. The most important thing was to repair the ship and buy enough cannons.
The shipyard was built on the shore. There were a total of three shipyards of different sizes. However, a medium-sized ship like the Black Pearl could be repaired no matter which one it went to. Tang Ge chose a shipyard that was closer to him. After he swaggered in, someone immediately greeted him with a smile.
Tang Ge explained the situation of the Black Pearl and its docking location. These ships would be numbered by the port authority after they docked, and every ship was in order. In order to better express his intentions, he pulled the merchant in front of the Black Pearl, gesturing while expressing his thoughts.
"All the damaged parts have to be repaired and cleaned. The ship smells like mold now. "In addition, I want to make some changes to this ship. I want the hull to be black as the base color and some patterns to be drawn on it in red. I want those simple patterns, but they have to be very beautiful.”He did this to change the appearance of the ship so that people would not recognize it as the Black Toad's ship.
"Add cannon ports to the hull, ten on each side. Make a dragon head carving on the bow. Remember, be fierce! There was no need to install the cannon. I had to choose what cannon to install. Prepare more spare sails for me. Whether it's a square sail or a lateen sail, I have to choose different sails according to the situation. I need to change my flag too. Do you have a painter here?”
The merchant recorded Tongo's words in a notebook, raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and said,""Of course, the flags made by our shipyard never fade. This is famous even in the Greenland Empire, and the painters are all famous. However, since you are here to repair the ship and buy cannons, I will give you this flag for free.”
Tongo did not believe this. Besides, he did not understand art, so long as the pirate flag met his aesthetic standards, it was fine.
His aesthetic sense was very simple. He had to be fierce!
Under the guidance of the merchant, he found the painter, who was an old man wearing a hexagonal hat.
The flag of the Evil Dragon Pirate Team was naturally painted with an evil dragon. There was an evil dragon tattoo on Tongo's right shoulder. He liked this tattoo, so he simply took off his clothes and let the artist draw the tattoo on his right shoulder and make it into a flag.
As soon as he revealed his tattoo, the two of them could not help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
Tattoos were a symbol of pirates. If a person wanted to sail into Pirate City, they had to reveal their tattoo. The pirate flag was the symbol of a ship, and the tattoo was the symbol of a pirate.
Many years later, the iconic tattoo of the evil dragon became famous. When the big flag of the Evil Dragon Pirate Team appeared, even the navies of the five empires had to fire their cannons to signal and then take a detour to show their respect.
After dealing with the flag, it was still early. He went straight to the fort built by the shipyard facing the sea. The waves hit the metal frame, and there was a row of all kinds of cannons on the stage. They were solemn and dignified, and the cannons shone with a unique cold light.
These cannons were all muzzle cannons. They would stuff the solid shells inside and use the gunpowder to blast them out. That was the basic theory, but the types of cannons had developed into a variety according to demand.
The first was the difference in weight. Small cannons weighed about one ton, while large cannons weighed four to five tons. The displacement of the Black Pearl was 150 tons. When installing the cannons, this value had to be taken into account. The weight of the cannons, as well as the recoil when firing, had to be taken into account.
Secondly, the shooting range, firing rate, and loading time were all different. With a long range, he could use long-range tactics to weaken the enemy ships bit by bit. However, with the long range and the turbulence of the sea, the accuracy of the cannons was pitifully low. Those with fast firing speed could choose close combat. When the two ships were more than 100 meters apart, they would fire fiercely. At this distance, if they fired at a horizontal angle, the cannon would hit no matter how low the accuracy was.
Tang Ge chatted with the cannon merchant for half a day and roughly figured out the advantages of these cannons. Under the merchant's suggestion, he chose a medium-sized cannon with a high firing rate. The cannon was 2.7 meters long and weighed two tons.
[Durability: 90 (Every shot will damage the cannon. When Durability reaches 0, the cannon will be scrapped)]
[Type of ammunition: Solid Bullet, Chain Bullet, Scattered Bullet.]
[Destructive Power: ]
[Range: 200 yards]
[Charging speed: 2 minutes]
[Equipment location: Side of the ship.]
Due to the short firing range and fast reloading speed, the Black Pearl could only choose close combat after equipping this cannon. Tang Ge requested that the cannon mount be made to be disassembled. This was so that when he recruited Bullet Spitting Frogs in the future, they could replace the cannons.
The range of the Bullet Spitting Frog was 350 yards, and its firing rate was over ten seconds. Its various stats far surpassed this type of cannon.
This time, the Black Pearl would be completely renewed, but the expenses would be huge. Tongo had spent all his gold coins on it, and now he only had 20 gold coins left.
When Tang Ge left the shipyard, the sky was already filled with stars. The streets were lit up in the night. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and those who were eager to go home were in a hurry. However, some drunkards were still in a leisurely manner.
His stomach was already empty, but he did not plan to return to the inn. He did not have to worry about those sailors at all. Perhaps they were all hugging women in their arms right now. As he walked, he looked for a place to settle the meal.
He didn't find the dinner party, but he saw a notice board with all kinds of bounty notices pasted on it. The captain of the Black Toad Pirate Team's profile picture was on it.
[Name: Harold Heisen]
[Bounty: 45000 gold coins]
"Ding! Activating the Bounty System allowed him to view the pirate bounty rankings.”
Although many functions of the system had failed, some of the recruitment and exchange functions had been disabled, and the interface could still be viewed. He opened the main interface and saw that there was indeed an additional reward system. It was filled with information about pirates that he had seen on the bulletin board.
His game system was of the absorption type. When he encountered a port, he could get information about the port. When he saw a cannon, he could get information about the cannon. In addition, all the cannons he saw at the shipyard appeared in the exchange system and could be exchanged with reward points.
Red Rose Tavern.
Tang Ge chose to fill his stomach here.
