"Whose eyes are the sharpest among them?" Lu Yuan drove the boat towards Trinidad.

August stood behind him. He had just moved out of the captain's room and now he had to live in the officer's dormitory with grievance. However, he was the only one in the officer's dormitory now, whether it was now or in the future for a long time.

Even if Misha got on the boat, she obviously wouldn't live anywhere.

Lu Yuan vowed that even if he had the reputation of being a "gay", he would still pull "Mixia" into the captain's room to cause "ship shock".

Now, except for a small number of sailors who are still sorting out goods in the bottom cabin, most of the sailors gather on the deck, waiting for the arrangements of the new boss. However, Lu Yuan did not directly allocate them. Except for specific positions, he basically followed August's opinions.

"Jacques, he is the best among us!" August said, pointing to a young pirate, and Lu Yuan smiled at a glance. It was precisely the boy who first applauded when performing a drama today, and one of the only two remaining bronze lv9 players!

"Hi, Jacques! Do you want to be a lookout?!" Lu Yuan saw that he had the same ship skill as Jiang Wan, and he knew that his eyes were excellent and he was very suitable for being a lookout.

Jacques stood up and showed a embarrassed expression. He hesitated for a moment before refusing loudly, "Captain. I don't want to be a lookout! I want to stay in the stormtrooper. This is more suitable for me. Of course, it would be better if you could give me a musket."

"Okay, Jacques, I think you are indeed more suitable to use muskets instead of scimitars. Go up. Wait for me to find a good musket for you. I will allow you to shoot on it! It is easier to aim on it, and you will become the one among us who kills the most enemies!" Lu Yuan has seen that most of his skills are musket skills. Most of his lv9 strength is reflected in the use of muskets. Obviously, this guy doesn't know which musket team this guy ran out of elite shooter.

Because there was no musket team on this small boat, he was lined up in the stormtrooper to swing a scimitar.

"Ah, is this true?! Thank you so much, Captain!" Jacques bowed happily and prepared to climb the mast. "'Things that were hopeless, boldly try will often succeed'! You are absolutely right! By the way, Captain, will you... still perform dramas in the future?"

Looking at many pirates with hot eyes, Lu Yuan shook his head, "Stop talking nonsense, my level is as far away as the stars of the Havana Theater, just like the distance between the sky and the earth! I promise to find you a professional person in the future! Now, let me do the serious business!"

Jacques scratched his head and was about to scatter before the new captain got angry. The new captain looked weird and cold, and he didn't know how he had just said such a request.

"Wait, I'm giving this thing to you!" Lu Yuan took out the "exquisite telescope" and handed it to him, "It's very expensive, use it carefully... always help me look ahead, I'll discover those pirate ships in advance."

"I swear to you, I promise!" Jacques excitedly took the telescope that looked as exquisite as a work of art, and quickly climbed up the observation deck along the rope ladder, and couldn't wait to use the telescope with it. His excited screams could be heard from time to time below.

The people who left Caofan separated the stormtrooper and the gunner, even if they had basically completed the task.

As I said before, getting on a boat and being a sailor is actually an extremely professional job, but it is just that many places are not valued. For example, chefs directly let people who cannot fight take on it. In fact, this job is very critical. Lu Yuan has already made up his mind to find a better person.

Before that, he planned to eat the food in the space box to deal with it. He was really not used to the food on the boat. God knows what the chef made into it was in the sticky stuff!

There are also people who work in the gunpowder room, keep the gunpowder dry, and pack the gunpowder. This person needs to know how to use balances and arithmetic! In this era, they are also high-tech talents, but they are still not valued on pirate ships. Let three thin underage sailors serve as...

Lu Yuan shook his head. There was more than just this little thing on the boat that dissatisfied with him?!

Looking at the ten 16-pound cannons on the ship, two in front and three in the front and three in the left and right, Lu Yuan felt a headache again. Only two or three in the cannons were fired at each time, so it would not form dense firepower at all! Fortunately, the ship was originally designed with twenty cannon positions, with two in front and back, eight in the left and right, and space to adjust.

Of course, although this ship can be equipped with a maximum of 24-pound cannon, it is basically impossible. If it is really equipped with twenty 24-pound cannons, then the weight of the cannon, the turret plus the shells can reach about 30 tons, and no cargo can be installed. Only when you simply need to go to sea to fight, will you make such an extreme configuration before leaving the port.

"August, I need to concentrate all the artillery on one side to form an advantageous coverage of firepower. You can arrange this, I know this will cause the ship's center of gravity to shift. So it's good to move the cargo, it's fine. I hope to fill the eight gun positions on one side! That's it!"

"As for the order, sir." After August agreed, he walked away with a sad face, which finally made Lu Yuan feel a little better.

You know, since he has been busy with the ship captain’s room since he has not even had time to visit his captain’s room! How could he not drag others to be depressed?

But this weather... He looked up at the sky depressedly. The sea was clear in the morning. Now the clouds were shaped like clouds, and the wind gradually became stronger, as if it started from the moment he was the captain...

If this continues, you will encounter a storm when you arrive in Trinidad tonight.

(Your relationship with the sea god Corey Buso has dropped to "hatred", and the possibility of storms at sea is greatly increased!)

Is it true that I found the reason here? My sister’s!

Lu Yuan spat and gently swung the wheel rudder, allowing the boat to draw a beautiful arc. Riding on the wind that gradually became stronger, flying fish flew over the water!

*******

"Rice! This will overturn the boat! Drag it back! Drag it back quickly!"

"It's enough!" Lu Yuan roared with his blue veins exposed! While he was quickly hitting the rudder, letting the sail withstand greater crosswind. With the help of the sea breeze, he "supported" the sailboat that was tilted greatly so that the boat would not capsize immediately! On the other hand, he had to control a cable, wrapped around the main mast, and hang a 700-kilogram 16-pound cannon hanging from the side of the ship!

"Damn it! Osust! Pull it up!" Lu Yuan shouted at August who was holding the mast and was completely frightened! Lu Yuan's shouting this time completely awakened the sailors who were tilting around! They hurriedly joined the gunners and dragged the cannon that was about to fall into the sea back to the deck!

When the eighth cannon was placed on the starboard side just now, the ship finally couldn't stabilize the center of gravity and tilted sharply! The artillery that had been fixed even rolled out of the ship's side and fell towards the sea. If it weren't for Lu Yuan's superb driving skills and magic, they would have capsized!

Of course, it will cost 2,000 pesos to lose a cannon!

This made all the sailors on the deck so scared that their faces pale!

"I've had enough!" Lu Yuan grabbed his hair in pain. He only knew that he had snatched a new ship. How could he have thought that he also snatched a group of novices at the same time! Bastard!

Although his "Borrowing the Wind to Rescue the Ship" just now made him jump up a few small steps and stand at the 50 value! It was not helpful to the current situation.

There is no way, he will eventually go into battle!

Lu Yuan quickly calculated the load on the hull, and finally adopted the "three left and seven right" layout of ten cannons, and then fixed the sea water of ten wooden barrels outboards on the left side of the ship, which was to adjust the center of gravity back to the center line of the ship!

But he no longer believes in anything now - especially the qualities of these guys! You must know that August's "cannon" of up to 17 is actually the best among all gunners! It took him three minutes to load a 16-pound cannon, and he could still accept everyone's praise with pride... I'm so fed up! Enough! Lu Yuan turned the table in his heart!

Let him take these people directly to fight now? Is this a rhythm of trying to die?! How optimistic I was before!

************

Lu Yuan drove a sailboat and looked for a lonely reef, allowing the ship to wander about one hundred meters away from the reef.

Near the Port of Trinidad, there are Cayman Islands and the large coral reefs. The sea conditions here are complex, the routes are narrow, and there are reefs everywhere. Therefore, such a reef is not difficult to find. As long as it leaves the route, it can be encountered at any time.

Lu Yuan did not stop the ship. He just tried to stabilize the hull and let the ship circle around the reef in a shape that was not too far. In the era of sails as power, wind was the decisive factor in the sailing posture of the ship. He could be a helmsman like Lu Yuan, and there was no one in a hundred!

Lu Yuan's "sailing" value is rising rapidly, but now he is not concerned about this at all! He also has unrealistic fantasies about these crew members - he always thinks that they are not good in one aspect, and maybe in other aspects are very good... he is completely unwilling to believe the results he identified!

"All gunners, load me with starboard cannons! Aim at that reef!" Lu Yuan ordered loudly, and the gunners looked at each other... "Damn it! You guys didn't even have a gun to fire, right?" Lu Yuan roared angrily! He almost turned into the Roaring Emperor this afternoon. He wanted to hang all these people countless times, and then jumped into the sea to drown himself.

"Once I opened it..." August scratched his head embarrassedly and replied with a smile, "It costs more than 100 pesos to fire a cannon! Both shells and gunpowder are quite expensive, and the cannons are easy to break. If you can, save a little...hehe."

"Hey, your sister!" Lu Yuan kicked over unbearably, "Recharge all of them immediately! I want to see how bad you are!" He took out his pocket watch and lit it. "I will start counting the timing, and all the gun crews with a reload time of more than four minutes were executed!"

August immediately took the gunners to load them up, and everyone was sweating profusely. Even the stormtroopers who had nothing to do came to watch at this time. They had nothing to do and were very happy to watch.

Although the gunners were very hard, they had not had much training or practice at all. It took them almost six minutes to load all the seven guns on the port side!

All the gunners were pitiful, looking at the terrifying captain at the helm, waiting for the judgment! Especially the group of gunners who fell at the last, they were almost kneeling down to beg for God!

Lu Yuan closed the lid of the pocket watch expressionlessly, "The time is just right, let's move on to the next step. Now, start aiming..."

The aiming scene was so hard to bear to look directly at. August took the lead in lying behind the cannon, aiming at the reef with his eyes, calculating with the length of his fingers. Then he moved here and kicked the adjusting cannon there. This process took about the same time as loading, which made Lu Yuan extremely disappointed with the fighting rhythm of this era!

Seeing that they were all ready, Lu Yuan waved his hand simply, "Shit!" (To be continued...)
