Chapter 136 Gift-giving

After the Seawolf vacated the platform, the Seal was finally pulled to the shore and successfully fixed on the temporary simple platform.

There was already a batch of hardwoods specially stored on the island for shipbuilding. When building the village, Yu Xiaotian was not willing to use these rare good wood. Now he handed it over to Guo Fu and his apprentice to repair the ship.

Zhang's blacksmith helped Guo Fu make a batch of woodworking tools in advance, and the master and apprentice immediately began to work on the beach day and night.

Except after midnight, there is a jingling sound all over the island. In addition to training, the sea wolves also have to go to the platform to help, or help clear the sea creatures at the bottom of the ship.

Maybe it was because Zhou Cheng offended too much and his own conditions were limited. It was not easy for Zhou Cheng to repair the ship, so although the ship was overhauled more than half a year ago and replaced the damaged bow, the repair was not complete, and the bottom of the boat was not in place. In addition, it was basically parked at the seaside in the past few months. Staying still and soaking in the sea for a long time, the bottom of the ship has a thick layer of barnacles and other things, making the hull bulky, which greatly affects their speed and the flexibility and cargo capacity of the ship.

No wonder when Yu Xiaotian rushed back, Zhou Cheng didn't have time to escape. He was caught by Yu Xiaotian and injured his boat and killed him on the spot.

If the ancients want to do a good job, they must first use their tools! This sentence is really very reasonable. If you don't even serve the ship well, it will be a matter of losing your life sooner or later.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian valued the quality of his ship and equipment so much, tried his best to repair the ship, and also searched for weapons and equipment subordinates to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

After inspecting the whole ship, Guo Fu took his son and apprentice to remove part of the damaged board of the ship, and replace the damaged board with existing hardwood. The two damaged ship ribs can't be remade because they can't meet the current conditions. The ribs need a certain curvature, so they need fire. After baking, use a fixture to bend it.

At present, they can't do such a thing, so Guo Fu made a change, reinforced the two ribs with hardwood, repaired the ship's partitions in the hull, and reinforced the damaged parts, and then carried out an overall inspection and seams of the hull to repair the water leakage of the hull.

The bow of this ship was replaced and repaired before and reassembed. After inspection, Guo Fu found that the previous craftsman cut corners, and the connection of the bow part was not reliable. Once it collided a little again, it may be completely damaged. Now let him replace it all. With the manpower and tools at hand, he has a little insufficient. .

So after asking Yu Xiaotian, Guo Fu and his apprentice also reinforced the bow part to ensure the minimum strength of the bow part. In addition, Guo Fu also had to repair the rudder board and the connecting rod of the rudder, and the mast also had to be re-reinforced. As a way, he wanted to repair the boat for a while. It's unrealistic.

Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to let Guo Fu's father and his son repair it slowly. Don't rush to catch up with the construction period, and make the ship as strong as possible. In addition, let Xu honestly replace a new set of sails for this ship and expand the area of some sails in order to increase the speed. In short, since it took so much effort. Qi, to repair this ship, try to repair it as well as possible. If there is no way to solve it, it can only make do with it. At least it can be used as a subsidy for the Sea Wolf and become their second main battle ship in the future.

After the porcelain bottles were pulled back, Yu Xiaotian asked the idle people or women on the island to start cleaning up the porcelain bottles. More than 300 porcelain bottles were filled with whale oil, and then stuffed the mouth of the bottle with wooden plugs, and tore some of the rags they had stored into pieces of cloth, and *1 Put it in a wooden box and use it as an introduction to start the fire.

Once these* need to be enabled, pull out the cork, stuff the cloth into the bottle, and light the cloth to throw them out. Think about it, if dozens of these guys are thrown on the enemy's ship at once, no matter how the enemy saves it, it will definitely suffer a big loss. If not, the enemy's ship can be burned on the spot. So these * are definitely sharp weapons for maritime melee.

However, it is also dangerous to put these things on the ship. They are most afraid of breaking and leaking oil, so after loading, they are all put into wooden boxes filled with straw and stored carefully.

In addition, they have four cannons, two of which are their earliest big bowls, and the other two are 100 guns. One of them is from Zhoucheng, and the other is from a merchant ship. The two cannons are similar in shape, but the calibers are different, which makes Yu Xiaotian very helpless.

However, this is already the most powerful weapon for him at present. No matter how crude it is, it is not better than nothing, so Yu Xiaotian still attaches great importance to these four guns. During this period, he asked a blacksmith to help him polish the guns again. In addition, he added several iron hoop to each of them, and added Strengthen the strength of the gun barrel to prevent accidental explosion and injury.

After using their latest grain gunpowder, the power of these guns has been improved. Two bowls of guns were temporarily placed in the stockade, while two hundred guns were placed on the Sea Wolf by Yu Xiaotian as their main weapons.

While they were preparing hard, the news finally came from Nanri Island.

This time, not only Wang Hong came to Treasure Island in person, but also Xiaotian's new acquaintance, Lao Wu Fang'an came to Treasure Island with Wang Hong.

For Wang Hong and Fang An's coming, Yu Xiaotian was very enthusiastic. He personally welcomed them to the seaside, took them to the island and received hospitality from the village. Even their men were invited to get off the boat and set up a big pot, large pieces of meat and a large bowl of wine outside the village.

Fang An came to Treasure Island for the first time, and he was also surprised by the situation here, especially when he saw that Yu Xiaotian and others were repairing their own boats, which surprised him and Wang Hong.

The strength of their shark gang is much stronger than that of Yu Xiaotian, but at present, they can only make minor repairs to their ships, but they didn't expect that Yu Xiaotian could make major repairs to their ships by themselves now. Although there is no boat house here, they still built a simple platform and used a simple slide to The ship was towed ashore for repair.

This makes them have to look at Xiaotian even more impressively.

What surprised Fang An more was that after arriving here, he really felt the quality of Yu Xiaotian's subordinates. They were all peers. However, in contrast, these sea wolves under Yu Xiaotian were all regular. Under the command of Xiaotian and several leaders, they did everything like arm fingers. There is a degree of entry and retreat, and it is forbidden.

Looking up at the people on the wall. Although the island is very lively because of their arrival, the gate and the walls of the wall are still shy, standing like javelins, doing their things calmly, almost Not moved at all.

Compared with the followers brought by their men, Fang An suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Fang An has a strong self-esteem. In addition, because of his left hand disability, he doesn't like to communicate with people, which makes him look a little arrogant. However, after arriving at Treasure Island recently, he had to put away his arrogance. After entering the stockade, he carefully observed everywhere and began to take the initiative to communicate with Yu Xiaotian. Get up.

"Brother Yu, there is nothing good for you when you come here, and this time you have to ask Brother Yu to help us box. Brother Yu can't let Brother Yu do it for nothing!

So Brother Yu thought about it for a moment, and he couldn't do anything else. This time, he sent a Franco cannon to his brother!

Brother Fool has seen the guy on your ship. The two cannons are not bad. Although they are not as big as the guns on my ship, they are okay. It's just that your hundred guns and bowls are too slow to fill. Once you fight with people, you will suffer a little loss, so Brother Fool gave me the French machine at hand. You sent it here.

Come on! Send the cannon to my brother!"

When Wang Hong came over, he brought several of his men and carried two boxes long and short. After sitting in the stockade, he carelessly looked like his brother and said to Xiaotian.

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked several people to lift the box and put it in front of Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Hong to be such a friend. This time, he came to call him to help him punch, and even sent him such a big gift.

So Yu Xiaotian quickly hugged his fist and thanked him repeatedly. While saying that he didn't dare, he focused his attention on the two boxes sent by Wang Hong.

After Wang Hong put down the box, he immediately lifted the lid of the box and presented the contents in front of Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian lowered his head and looked at it carefully. The excitement just now cooled down a little. Just now, he heard that Wang Hong gave him a French cannon. He thought this guy must not be small, but after opening the box, he found that the Frank machine was really too small.

Even if the whole Franco cannon mother gun is equipped with a handle on its tail, it is only more than one meter. The outer diameter of the barrel is no more than seven or eight centimeters, and the tail of the gun has a square groove, which is obviously used to fill the gun.

In another small box, there are five guns. As far as he knows, under normal circumstances, the Furan machine gun needs to be equipped with at least six to nine guns, which is a set, but this Furan machine gun is only five guns, which is obviously not a complete set.

For good, this set of Franc machine guns is cast in copper, which is relatively good, and the quality of the surface casting of this Franc machine gun is acceptable. The gun body is relatively smooth, and there are no burrs on the edges and corners. The whole has been polished by the craftsmen, and the quality seems to be good.

(Today, I would like to thank yezhongye's friend for the reward! Let the red ticket come more fiercely!)
