Chapter 82 The Black Ship Comes Early
Although the morning in Sakai Port in the second month of the lunar calendar is still a bit cold, it has come to the time of spring and flowers blooming.The wharf, which had been silent for a winter, finally became lively again at this time. Merchant ships from the surrounding area, the peninsula, Dameng, and even from Southeast Asia gathered here, pouring out the enthusiasm accumulated throughout the winter.

Early this morning, Inuichiro, an ordinary fisherman in Sakai Port, rowed his small wooden boat away from the fishing pier in Sakai Port. He rowed the boat to a deep water area far away from the coastline with great joy.Because he saw a large school of fish appearing in this water area yesterday, he wanted to try his luck here today to see if he could catch a big one.

Not to mention Inuichiro's luck, he really saw a big guy, a very big, very big one.It's just that this big guy didn't sink in the water, but floated on the surface of the sea.The whole body of the big guy was black, without a trace of reflection, and the speed of this big guy was too fast, and it rushed to the side of Inuichiro's boat in a blink of an eye.

Of course, this big guy is neither a whale carcass nor a sea monster, but a huge full-sail high-speed frigate.

"Fail the sails! Hurry up and furl the sails!"

The second mate stood on the deck and yelled to the sailors on the mast!

Raphael stood beside the acting captain of the ship and asked, "At the current speed, won't it hit the breakwater in Sakai Port?"

With an awkward yet polite smile, the acting captain replied, "Should...not be?"

Raphael glanced at the captain differently, and asked him, "Are you so unconfident?"

"Okay, Lord Admiral, the subordinates think they will bump into each other."

"Then why are you standing still?"

In an instant, the sailors on the frigate suddenly became flustered. Fortunately, they were chaotic and not bad, and finally stopped a few tens of meters away from the Sakai Port anti-wave embankment.Then slowly sailed into the port.

The merchants in Sakai Port and the ship owners in the port were taken aback by this big black ship that broke into the port suddenly, because they had never seen a sea ship of this size before. Rigging, everyone in the port was stunned for a while!

"God Amaterasu, there is such a big ship in the world!"

In front of this big ship, all the lucky boats around [-] materials suddenly turned into a little guy, and some ship owners estimated that this big black boat had at least [-] materials.

[Ding dong!Ocean Hegemony Mission 1 "Training Ship" has been completed! 】

[Ding dong!Ocean Hegemony Mission 2 "Sail" has been completed! 】

[Ding dong!Ocean Hegemony Mission 3 "Real Battleship" has started! 】

[Your training ship has helped you train qualified sailors, but they are only qualified sailors, far from real sea warriors, train them to become qualified gunners and musketeers! 】

[Task requirements: Please equip at least 24 18-pound front-loading smoothbore guns on the training ship, please prepare at least 100 muskets for the crew, and let your crew master these weapons proficiently. 】

[Completion standard: use thermal weapons to completely destroy an enemy ship in a naval battle, pay attention!The destruction of civilian merchant ships is prohibited! 】

[Influence buff-ride the wind and waves: increase the speed of the warship by 3%]

[Military Technology - Loading Master: Increase the artilleryman's loading speed by 5%]

[Engineering Technology—Brown Gunpowder: Greatly reduces the chance of bombing of artillery and muskets]

When Baoer's system suddenly jumped out of these messy things, he didn't need Rafael to notify Baoer in the communication, he already knew that Rafael's ship had arrived at Sakai Port, and it came with a huge surprise.

"I thought the training ship hadn't been built yet!"

"This boat is small and built faster."

Bao'er pointed at the big boat and asked, "Is this boat still small?"

"Of course it's small! The hull is only 40 meters long, and the bow girder is only 55 meters. My system tells me that the displacement of this ship is only 980 tons when fully loaded. How can it be considered a big ship? You must know that we were We are going to build a big guy with a bare hull of 47 meters."

"Then why didn't it be made?"

Rafael shook his head and said: "The engineers have repeatedly verified that with their current technology, they cannot guarantee the structural strength of the hull required for such a large ship. To be on the safe side, the size of the hull has been shrunk and shrunk, until now 40 meters away."

"40 meters is not too small!"

“这不光是大小的问题！她也达不到理想中的航速，我当初以为她能跑到13节（24公里/小时），可这一趟跑下来我才发现她的平均航速只有7节（13公里/小时）左右，而最高也只有9.5节（17.6公里/小时）的速度。从仁川到这里竟然花了五天多的时间”

"How many days?"

Raphael was very puzzled and said, "It's been more than five days, what's wrong?"

"It took us nearly 8 days to travel from Busan Port to Sakai Port by Ryushin Maru. Are you still not satisfied with that?"

"Okay, forget it." Raphael pointed to the big ship behind him, and said, "When we are sure that the ship will not fall apart as it walks, we will drive her out for the first ocean trial."

"So you are still in trial voyage?"

"Of course, the engineers in charge of building the ship are all on board!"

"Then since you all have tried the voyage, why didn't I receive the system's mission completion notification until just now?"

Raphael showed a fox-like expression, and said: "Of course it is to surprise you, the governor. When you asked me to touch the knife, the ship was almost finished. So I let the system stop when the ship is ready in advance. Notify your system, so that we can give you a big surprise when we meet!"

"What? Your system can actually intercept notifications?"

"Who made the governor only responsible for paying the money?"

Bao'er was silent for a few tears, and then made a small report with the system in her heart.

[This system has received the player's report and is preparing to counterattack...]

[The counterattack begins...]

[Counterattack failed! 】

[Please continue to work hard...]

Raphael: "My system seems to have won!"

Bao'er: "But you're already dead."

Raphael:? ? ?

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, Raphael fell to the ground covering his left eye.

After a long, long time, it was ridiculously long... No, it was so long that Raphael felt like his butt was pulled out when he was lying on the ground, he finally got up again.

"I was wrong……"

Bao'er nodded, and praised: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing better than being kind."

"Actually, I came here not only to show the governor that our training ship has been built, but also to bring you back to Incheon. I have not only built this ship in the past few years, other parts I have also completed a lot of various commercial missions and expedition missions, and got many rewards for new technologies, such as muskets."

"Musket?"

"That's right, it's a musket." Raphael walked to a wooden box that had just been unloaded from the ship, told the sailors to open it, and then Raphael took out an arquebus from the box and threw it to Bao Son.

"Hey, your matchlock gun still has a butt!" Because Bao'er remembered that many primitive matchlock guns did not have a buttstock.

"Shooting without a butt against the shoulder always feels very awkward." Raphael continued: "The ship is loaded with 3000 trial-made matchlock guns like this one, 10 rounds of lead ammunition and 2 tons of gunpowder. As long as the governor you If you agree, I will distribute these 3000 matchlock guns in Japan."

"Let's go, even if you don't leave, in a few years, when your compatriots arrive here, they will bring matchlock guns to Japan. Moreover, Japan will become more and more chaotic from now on. When we really enter the era of war, we just happen to This opportunity can also be used to test our weapons."

"I think so too." Raphael also said: "I still remember that you in the illusion made me continue to work hard and surpass myself, but I am even more curious about what kind of enemy we will face by then."

"I don't know too well, but it won't be human after all, and I always feel that the trend of this world is becoming more and more magical. Forget it, let's not talk about it." Then Bao'er changed the subject, pointing to the black boat and asking Phil: "Did I say you did it on purpose? You don't want to be Matthew Perry and force Dongying to open the country by driving a black boat to Sakai Port to show off your power?"

"How is it possible? Dongying is not locked up now. This ship is completely painted black because it uses asphalt from Sichuan. Everyone wants to try to use asphalt-soaked wood to make the hull waterproof, so they didn't paint it outside the asphalt. Apply a layer of ship paint. But from the perspective of pure deterrence, the black hull is indeed more intimidating to the enemy."

(Author popular science: Matthew Perry, commander of the US East India Fleet, founder of the "Black Ship Attack" event in Japanese history, forced the Tokugawa Shogunate to open ports by force.)

first change

I didn't make it to next week's recommendation, so I can only see if I come next week or not...

I feel like my life has lost momentum...

My mood almost collapsed...

Then collect the draft...

　The sadness comes from it, and I will add more tonight.
