"Cough~cough~", the owner of the dock, Old Man Oren, coughed loudly and climbed down from the "Siren", looking like he was about to die. Lu Yuan and Elizabeth separated in a panic, each pretending to look at the scenery as if nothing had happened. But I don't know what I can see in this dock.
Lu Yuan really didn't have any thoughts about Elizabeth. The initial thrill of seeing the plot and characters for the first time had long been completely forgotten by him as he was too busy with things. This "Elizabeth Swann" is good, but it's a pity that she's not a flat-chested person... Why are there so many tyrants in my world? Do flat chests really have a rare value?
Lu Yuan's habit of trying to make a mess when he saw the plot and characters in the past has not happened in a long time...?
"It seems... you seem to be a pauper?" the old man asked with a smile on his face.
Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly. Just now, he boasted too much and it hurt his balls.
Oren shook his head, noncommittal, he had seen everything that happened just now. He has never had a good impression of the new mayor of Trinidad who has eyes on his forehead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided it just now, and wouldn't even want to take a look.
Don’t think that McLaren is awesome just because he is the second son of the commander of the Spanish colonial navy. The old man has enough capital to look down on him! Oren was once one of the few master shipbuilders in Spain. It can be said that he had half of the credit for the birth of the Galen ship. In the Spanish Navy, he has a respected position.
It's just that as the quality of artillery is getting better and better, the technology of all aspects of ships has developed. Let the naval battle gradually transform from a broadside battle to a broadside battle. The "battle line" tactic also put Britain on the stage of maritime hegemony, and it took the lead. In this case, I feel that the Galen ship has completed its historical mission and is about to step off the stage. Well as one of the inventors of Galen's ship. It’s no surprise that Oren also chose to step off the stage and retreat to the remote Caribbean.
It's a pity that idiot McClun doesn't even know that there is a master shipbuilder hiding in his town! He only knows how to force these people to collect taxes, and then help them repair their ships for free. Otherwise, he doesn't even bother to look at them! McLaren's own shipbuilding consultant came all the way from Europe. He was only a disciple of Oren and had never even seen Oren.
If it weren't for the fact that what Lu Yuan was doing this time was really interesting, Master Oren wouldn't even have gotten involved.
Lu Yuan stared at the old man in a daze for a while, with thoughts running through his mind. Lu Yuan didn't think too deeply before. I just think the old man is quite strange. But when the old man shook his head, his indifference in overlooking all sentient beings made his thoughts clear as if the clouds had been lifted.
He immediately concluded that the old man was not an ordinary person - not because he could not identify it - but because the old man's temperament was very similar to that of Lu Yuan when he lived in seclusion in Shaoshi Mountain. It was the result of a long period of indifference. A kind of detachment.
Lu Yuan now works for Dawn every day. I'm afraid I don't have that kind of state of mind anymore.
Lu Yuan's mind moved, and he remembered something that was useless to him, but of great use to the owner of the dock.
When he turned his hand, there was already a thick roll of paper in his palm, about the length of an arm. Lu Yuan held it with both hands and handed it to Oren solemnly. "Old sir, you will not suffer any loss if your debt remains unpaid until death. Although I have no money in my hand now, I still have a priceless treasure! For a shipbuilder, a shipbuilder would not exchange such a thing for even a million pesos!"
"(One-star heavy Galenic warship blueprint)", obtained from Governor Leblanc's magic ship manufacturing blueprint.
Lu Yuan felt it was useless, firstly because he really didn't like Galenic sailboats; secondly, the analysis and use of shipbuilding drawings were all related to the level of carpentry. A one-star magic ship must have a full carpentry value of 100. Lu Yuan's current carpentry level is only 20 or 3, and the drawings are like a book from heaven.
During this period, not to mention almost all the masters of shipbuilding with full value should be living in Europe. Even if you can find someone in the Caribbean who can help build it and be trustworthy. The price of the boats that can be built is also in the millions! It’s not surprising that it cost tens of millions of pesos to build.
A price of tens of millions to build a heavy-duty Galenic battleship with unknown attributes? ! Unless I'm crazy...
For this drawing, Lu Yuan's idea is to discount it!
So it’s not a bad idea to send it out now.
The old man Oren's expression became very strange. Lu Yuan looked at him and couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad. What emerged at that moment was a very complex emotion, just like the life of an old man.
Oren did not open the drawing, he just kept touching the surface of the ship drawing, as if... caressing a child. Two lines of tears slowly welled up in his withered eyes, flowing slowly along the furrows on his face.
Like two streams appearing on the cracked land...
The old man raised his head, smiled, wiped away his tears freely and explained to Lu Yuan, "The drawing you brought was actually designed by me when I was thirty... Alas, I was young and energetic at that time, and it was just to compete with others... In short, after the design was completed, I presented it to His Majesty the King that day. His Majesty greatly appreciated my design and directly canonized me as a master shipbuilder...
Having said this, the old man shook his head again, this time with a hint of regret. "However, over the years, as I have built more and more ships, I have begun to reflect on my designs back then. The more I think about it, the more I feel that there are so many shortcomings in my ideas back then, which is embarrassing! Instead, it is the old man's original design Although his opponent left Spain in embarrassment at first, he later became famous in Britain and had disciples all over the British Navy.
I have always wanted to take back this manufacturing blueprint, but firstly I don’t know who the emperor gave the blueprint to, and secondly I have never heard of the news that this ship was built. Later, my emperor... let this matter go.
I thought this regret would last a lifetime. Unexpectedly, God would hand her back into my hands when she was about to be buried!
This gift...can't be worth just by renovating a small boat! You wait first. "
The old man rubbed his hands. Turned around and entered the inner room of the dock.
After a while, he took out two golden drawings. This kind of shipbuilding drawings is different from the shipbuilding drawings that Lu Yuan took out. It belongs to the same category as the "deterioration" drawings and is a transformation drawing.
"These are some of the old man's thoughts over the years. They're not worth much, just think of them as the old man's thoughts."
*******
At this time, some noisy sounds suddenly came from outside the dock! An iron piece hanging in the corner of the dock buzzed, but it was the people outside giving a warning. Lu Yuan heard more clearly that there were about a hundred musketeers outside the house who were dividing their troops into several groups and surrounding the place. It was obvious that McLaren was up to something else.
It turned out that after McLaren returned angrily, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. He simply sent people to surround the dock, intending to arrest Lu Yuan and Elizabeth directly! Anyway, Elizabeth sneaked away to the New World. The aristocracy only comes into contact with Helena's family... McLaren is the second son, and he will do anything for the title.
Lu Yuan glanced regretfully at the modified "Siren", pulled out "Thanatos", and prepared to rush out with Elizabeth first. The ship can look back. McLaren's fall out was so fast that Lu Yuan didn't even have time to prepare!
"Wait!" Oren shouted, "Go and prepare your ship! You have a quarter of an hour."
Old man Oren picked up a carpenter's ax, held a cigar in his mouth, and cut off several ropes tied to the pillars in twos and twos. Only a "boom" was heard outside, followed immediately by the cursing and beating sounds of the musketeers. The door of the workshop was firmly pressed by a fallen log gate! Then there was another "boom" on the inside of the door of the dock. A gate also fell down, completely blocking the aisle!
Oren dropped the ax and turned a nearby wooden winch. With a toothache "gurgling" sound, the water gate of the dock slowly stirred the water flow upwards, and the road leading to the sea was completely cleared!
"Uncle Oren, thank you!"
"Let's go! Let's go! I hope we can see you again in the future!" The old man waved his hand. Holding the design drawings of Galen's ship, he got out through the small door on the side. "The old man ran away first. He won't have a good life for a few years. I won't commit suicide with you."
Lu Yuan chuckled and saluted the old man's back with a mage salute. I think it's just the strength of your axe. Why do I think it’s okay for you to live another ten years? I will definitely have to ask you to change my ship in the future!
In terms of physical value alone, the one-star Galenic Magic Ship manufacturing blueprints are worth millions of pesos at least! There is no way two golden transformation drawings can be equivalent. However, in the old man's heart, that drawing must be full of flaws and regrets. Apart from being a memory of his youth, it has no more realistic value - the greatest possibility in the future is that the old man will hide it quietly and accompany him. Passed away with the old man. Instead of actually building a last-generation magical Galen ship for the world to criticize.
In the old man's heart, no matter how reluctant he was to accept it, his dignity as a master shipbuilder forced him to admit that the era of Galenic ships was indeed coming to an end.
[Quasi-gold level transformation drawings are only available to Lu Yuan and require a carpenter skill of greater than 40 to view them. 】
[Gold-level transformation drawings are only available to Lu Yuan. You need a carpenter skill of greater than 60 to view them. 】
Lu Yuan laughed and put away the two drawings whose contents could not be seen.
Because he has a background as a machinist and has strong hands-on skills, he has precise measurements in his eyes, and has more than ten years of forging experience in his hands. The work results that Lu Yuan always produces are so perfect that no one can be picky about them. The old man said many times these days that he wanted to teach him how to build a boat, but Lu Yuan refused without hesitation. As a result... I'm tricking him here.
Listening to the increasingly intense crashing sounds outside, "Let's go!" Lu Yuan picked up Elizabeth by the waist and jumped onto the stern of the Kraken.
**********
This dock was built on the west side of Trinidad Harbor, quite far from the town. The dock room is long and narrow from front to back, half of which is sea water. When the water door is opened, it is directly connected to the sea. The other half is a cascading approach road, with logs paved underneath. The "Siren" is parked on the uppermost edge, with the entire bottom of the ship exposed.
There were no dry docks at this time, and docks were built directly on the seaside. Below is the sea water. The boat was driven into the dock, and then logs were placed underneath and pulled up along a slope to lift the bottom of the boat out of the water. (Only small boats do this. Large boats may be crushed by their own weight.
Everyone knows that marine life will adhere to the bottom of boats, especially wooden hull boats. Algae and barnacles grow on the waterline, and clams and sea anemones grow on the bottom of the boat. If not cleaned up in time, it will no longer be a dream for you to gain 20% weight in a year! Eventually the fast boat becomes a slow boat, and the slow boat becomes a tug boat.
The transformation of the "Siren" this time is mainly based on thorough cleaning and reinforcement of the bottom compartment, which is considered a minor change.
Not only the sails but also the masts of a ship that has been heavily modified for a long period of time need to be removed. It is not uncommon for the entire ship to be dismantled with only the keel remaining. Every modification point of Lu Yuan's ship was calculated by Lu Yuan. Take it out directly. Therefore, the "Siren" just left the water, rolled up the sails, and that was it. Now it is not troublesome to pack it up.
But the time was only a quarter of an hour, so it was still very urgent.
"Go and untie the cable!" Lu Yuan pointed at the rope connecting the dock and shouted, and he began to untie the rolled-up sail one by one. The loose sail ropes were waving. Also joined in to help.
"Captain!" Elizabeth shouted excitedly, and only heard a "stab" sound. When Lu Yuan turned around, he was surprised to see that she actually tore off the lace of her skirt!
Even though Lu Yuan was right next to her, Elizabeth still didn't care. After she tore off the obstructive lace, she did not hesitate to tear open two large slits in the skirt. There were no underwear in this era. Lu Yuan could directly see the girl's firm white hills... She tied it into a knot and turned into a strange outfit like bloomers, revealing two crystal clear legs. After feeling that this aristocratic dress was no longer in the way, Elizabeth quickly ran to untie the cable.
"What are you looking at! Get to work quickly! Do we have a lot of time?!" She shouted aggressively, "Oh, ah!" Lu Yuan was completely attracted just now. He turned around in embarrassment and manipulated the hanging ropes again!
"We're going to start escaping! Yohoo~!!" Elizabeth cheered, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, and most of the tension just now dissipated! Yes, I'm already on the boat. What else can stop me? !
There is an explosion outside! Did they start using powder keg to blow up the door? !
"Lu, did you really defeat the Obstacle?" Even though it was urgent, Elizabeth couldn't help her curiosity. Mainly because what McLaren said was true, she couldn't help but doubt it.
"Is it difficult?" Lu Yuan untied the last sail rope and unfolded the stern sail. He looked at the wrench hanging by the door - the wrench fixed the rope, and the rope pulled the log at the bottom of the boat. "You'd be honored to see it a second time!"
"Coax!" With an explosion, the last gate into the dock was blown open, and the log collapsed to the left!
Lu Yuan lifted up a long truss pole with his toes and reached out to grab it. Just like throwing a javelin, the body is bent into the shape of a bow, full of power. Elizabeth peeked from behind, her little mouth slightly open.
"Catch them!" Lu Yuan saw with regret that the person who took the lead in rushing in was actually only a member of the McLaren officer corps, not McLaren. Otherwise, Lu Yuan really wanted to teach him a profound lesson first! He exerted his body strength and shot the beam out like a bow and arrow!
The flying truss brought up phantoms. Because the speed was too fast, the tail of the truss shook violently and made a strange whistling sound. In the officer's surprised eyes - it brushed past his cheek, and there was a crisp sound. Impact on the fixed iron wrench!
"Crack!" With the sound of wood breaking, the logs laid on the slope at the bottom of the ship became loose, and then rolled like a tide!
"Hold on!" The Kraken bounced and jumped on the rolling logs, rushing straight towards the ocean! The entire hull was shaking violently, and the waving mast made a dangerous overload sound. Lu Yuan firmly grasped the wheel platform with one hand and stood there steadily. He saw Elizabeth lurching this way and that, in danger of being thrown out at any time, and immediately stretched out his hand. The "activated rope" controlled a cable to fly up, grabbed Elizabeth from below, and then tied her to the main mast in seven twists and turns!
It's going to kill me! As soon as Lu Yuan tied her up, he heard a "squeak", and then there were wet marks on the roots of the "bloomers"... Lu Yuan swallowed and forced himself to turn his head away, not to look at Elizabeth's completely blushing face. He hated his keen senses so much now that he could clearly see the process from being tied up to the peak just now, and he could still play it back in his head... It was so obscene! It must be deleted...it's better to keep it for a while. This is an emergency moment, not the time to think about this!
Hmm, I didn’t expect that she would actually be tied up! ? Could it be the attribute that was activated last time?
Being tied up by a sudden attack, she was defeated by the sudden feeling. Elizabeth was so ashamed that she couldn't move at all except her head, and the strange rope seemed to be slowly moving back and forth, bringing an increasingly strange feeling... Ahhh, I can't do it again! In order to avoid Lu Yuan's sight and calm herself down, Elizabeth had no choice but to look up at the zenith.
"Ah~ah~ah~ah~!!" She suddenly let out a sharp cry, "There is a rope there!"
Lu Yuan looked up in surprise, only to find that there was actually a rope connecting the main mast and the ceiling! And the rope is rapidly tightening as the "Siren" slides downwards...
"Shoot! Shoot quickly!" The frightened officer before touched his face, which was shaken by the wind and was still unconscious, and shouted frantically. "Bang~bang~bang~" The musketeers who had lined up beside the wooden platform pulled the trigger. The muskets sprayed out streams of flames, and the projectiles swarmed towards the two people.
