The cave is covered with stalactites, dripping and dripping, which are gorgeous and dazzling against the backdrop of the sea water.
The interior space is not large, only a few hundred meters in length, but there are several dusty ships hidden in the deepest part.
The canvases on these large boats were all torn, and they were blown by the flowing wind, making a creaking sound that spread widely in the empty cave, adding a bit of horror.
"The little guy is right. Is there really a Guangzhou ship here, or is it a Guangzhou ship with a sea-suppressing cannon?"
There was a narrow land in the cave. Jiang Jiahao came out of the water, shook off the water stains in the barrel, held the pistol, and approached the first Guangzhou ship.
Although the ghost ship is scary, Jiang Jiahao is a man who has been stained with blood, and the evil spirit in his body is enough to scare away all ghosts and monsters!
It's close, the Guangzhou ship is right in front of you.
The Guangzhou ship is named after being built in Guangdong. It has a long nose and body, deep draft, small beam arch, low ridge arc, and good seakeeping.
Structurally, the transverse direction is composed of closely spaced ribs and partition boards, and the longitudinal strength is maintained by keels and large ribs.
The side and front are equipped with a falling plate that can lift vertically and extend under the bottom of the ship, which can reduce shaking and stabilize the heading.
There are rows of small diamond-shaped holes in the ship's board, which saves effort in steering without affecting navigation.
Guangzhou ships are divided into three types: large, medium and small. Small Guangzhou ships are equipped with oars and oars, and have good wave-breaking performance, which is conducive to deep-water navigation.
The topmast and foremast of the large Guangzhou ship are tilted forward, with hard canvas hanging on them, and the canopy poles are thick and sparsely arranged.
Most of the shipbuilding materials are lychee wood, camphor wood, and iron wood, which are strong and durable.
But the cost of building a ship is very high. To put it bluntly, it is a toy for the rich and not cost-effective for the poor.
Thinking back on the Guangzhou ship information he had found in his last life, Jiang Jiahao stared at the Guangzhou ship in front of him and frowned.
The various ships of the Ming Dynasty were quite satisfactory and could be used for what they were supposed to be used for. There would never be any random modifications.
But the Guangzhou ship in front of me has simply changed into something new. Judging from the date of the wood, it must be from the Qing Dynasty.
Can it really be called Guangzhou Shipyard? It's more like calling it a battleship!
The length of the hull is at least five meters, which is one size larger than the largest Guangzhou ship in history.
The ribs on its left and right sides are elevated, the curvature is removed, and they are made into vertical panel shapes. The decks inside the ship are stacked from one layer to three.
On the middle deck, there are three windows each, and behind the windows are the black sea-suppressing cannons.
What is Zhenhai Cannon? It was a smaller version of Zhu Yuanzhang's Shenwu cannon and a simplified version of Kangxi's red cannon.
If you are desperate, people can lie down under it and use it as a cannon stand, and the mobility is extremely high!
This cannon uses gunpowder and large iron bullets. Once fired, it will make a big hole in any wooden ship, no matter how hard it is. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was its most glorious time!
If the sea-suppressing cannon is exaggerated enough, then the three whaling guns more than two meters long on the bow are even more exaggerated.
Whether it is the Guangzhou ship of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it saves all the cumbersome structures and focuses on speed. It is usually the target of major pirates.
A fuchuan with a little bit of combat capability has a whale gun on the bow as standard equipment. Why do you have three whale guns in one Guangzhou ship? As the Trident of Poseidon?
After circling the number one Guangzhou ship twice, Jiang Jiahao found that the few Guangzhou ships in the deepest part were quite satisfactory, but most of them were in disrepair.
The only thing in the entire cave that is relatively well preserved is the explosively modified battleship in front of me. Don't be exaggerated.
"If Lao Li had had a few Guangzhou ships like this back then, he would have dared to attack Tokyo and capture Sho and Hirohito alive!"
Smiling to himself, Jiang Jiahao did not dare to let down his guard. He carefully stepped onto the deck with a gun in hand.
After feeling that the deck was fairly solid, he began to look at the layout of the ship.
The ship's plank is three meters wide in the transverse direction, and the cabin in the middle occupies two meters. There are three levels above the deck.
What Jiang Jiahao is facing is the first floor, which is connected to the cabin. The second floor above is the captain's cabin. The third floor has no roof and is regarded as an observation deck.
The captain's room was filled with dust. Jiang Jiahao twisted the rudder. It was fixed and made a crunching sound whenever he moved it.
The captain's indoor life jacket, early diving goggles and diving bottles are all available, but they are covered in dust and should no longer be used.
After rummaging through the captain's cabin, Jiang Jiahao pried open the iron cabinet and found an unopened sailor uniform. He compared his figure and put it on hard.
In the TV series, all major captain's cabins have secret compartments. Jiang Jiahao banged on the tin cabinet and found something different.
He moved the iron cabinet and found a hidden compartment behind it, which contained a double-barreled shotgun with two triggers.
"Is this a Stevens shotgun? Nest, this thing is an antique, at least 150 or 60 years old."
Carefully stroking the complex patterns on the Damascus steel barrel, Jiang Jiahao wiped the dust off with his clothes and tried the two triggers.
When the first trigger is pressed, the barrel of the shotgun folds in half, revealing two holes for inserting ammunition, but there is no ammunition in the gun at this time.
Continuing to rummage in the secret compartment, Jiang Jiahao found an M16 rifle, two boxes of 2mm shotgun bullets and three boxes of 5.56mm caliber rifle bullets.
In addition to these things, Jiang Jiahao also dug out a gorgeous wooden box, engraved with complex carvings and inlaid with gemstones and agate, but it was locked.
"Who~"
There was a sudden sound, and Jiang Jiahao rushed out of the captain's cabin with a pistol in his hand. He saw Abao moving on the deck with fear on his face.
When he saw Jiang Jiahao holding a gun, he was so frightened that he immediately waved his hands and whispered: "Brother, there is a Guangzhou ship coming outside, it is the one you are looking for."
Jiang Jiahao heard this and looked towards the entrance of the cave, and sure enough he saw the silhouette of a Guangzhou ship in the distance.
He quickly returned to the captain's cabin to restore the iron cabinet, took a bag and packed it with firearms and wooden boxes, then took Abao's hand and hid in the cabin.
The cabin was dark and exuded a disgusting stench.
Jiang Jiahao covered Abao's mouth, raised his finger to him and made a silent gesture, and the latter immediately nodded desperately.
Looking out through the gap in the hatch, a somewhat dilapidated small ship sailed into the cave and docked in front of the large ship.
A strong Nanyang man appeared on the bow of the boat. He carefully looked at the situation in the cave. When he saw nothing unusual, he started to release the water.
"Is this the ship you saw before?"
"Um."
"If you don't want to die, just stay here."
Gently pulling out the M16 rifle and blowing on it, Jiang Jiahao pulled the bolt and found that it was jammed. He could only take out the Stevens shotgun and add two rounds of ammunition.
He checked the two pistols, put them on his waist, and brought several shotguns with him.
Jiang Jiahao made a silent gesture to Abao again, quietly opened the door of the cabin, and left the cabin on his knees.
There was a quarrel in the cabin of the target Guangzhou ship. Jiang Jiahao came to the corner of the ship's mast and took a peek from above. He saw two familiar figures, Duan Li and Wu Tao, who were exactly the two people in the photo.
"There are two people smoking on the bow. Only Duan Li and Wu Tao can be seen in the cabin. There are at least four people on Fang Guang's boat..."
"Creak, clank"
"who?!"
The sound of stepping on wooden boards sounded behind him. When Jiang Jiahao turned around, he saw Abao holding an M16 rifle and preparing to squeeze out of the cabin. His clothes accidentally scratched the door panel.
He exerted force, and the door panel was pulled halfway.
In the empty cave, this clang was clear and sweet, and several people rushed out of the target Guangzhou. They looked around and locked their eyes on Jiang Jiahao's hidden Guangzhou.
With suspicious expressions on their faces, these people returned to the cabin, took out their iron blades, and surrounded the Guangzhou ship where Jiang Jiahao was.
Jiang Jiahao glared at Ah Bao. Ah Bao knew that he was in trouble, so he could only hide in the cabin aggrievedly. His clothes scraped against the door panel again, and there was another bang.
If one abnormal noise was a coincidence, two consecutive abnormal noises made these Nanyang people immediately alert. Their iron blades were replaced by guns, and they hid behind the bunker and looked at Guangzhou.
Looking from low to high, they could not see Jiang Jiahao. Looking down from high, Jiang Jiahao saw six Nanyang people, four men and two women.
"Eighteen Nanyang people, five were electrocuted in the refugee camp, I killed four, and there are six more here. Without Huang Yi, at least two of them are still hiding."
Jiang Jiahao peeked at the movement in the cabin of the target Guangzhou Ship. It was so quiet inside that Jiang Jiahao was not sure if anyone was hiding.
Seeing that the other party has stepped on the pedal, approaching the deck of Guangzhou Ship.
Jiang Jiahao knew that there was no point in hiding any longer, so he immediately rolled out from behind the bunker, revealed his figure, and fired two shots in succession with the deadly spray gun in his hand.
The two Nanyang men closest to the deck were knocked upside down and fell into the water, making no sound.
"Ali, Xiaorui!"
