Pirates make jokes: Obtain eight magical skills at the beginning

The sky was gloomy, with light rain falling in the sky.

The capital of seven waters is close to the pier near a huge dock, which leads to the sea outside and the river channel inside, and ripples ripple on the surface of the river, and when the dock gate is opened, the river flows in, spreading along the channel that has long been preset.

The slightly chilly spring breeze swept in outside, and the shipbuilders in the dock tightened their work clothes to avoid catching a cold in this cold wave and delaying the work at hand.

Yang Ming has the intention to create a closer alliance with the revolutionary army, naturally he must show his muscles to his allies appropriately, so as to grab greater benefits in the next alliance process, it is best to completely bind the revolutionary army to his own chariot, and then jointly deal with the hundred beasts Kaido, which will have one more chip.

As the liaison of the revolutionary army, Kerra was naturally invited by Yang Ming to visit this dock belonging to the Carrera Company.

The dock covers an area of hundreds of acres, bordering the land on both sides, the sea on one side, and the river on the other, and its basic components are divided into dock mouth, dock room and dock head.

Dock openings are often used to enter and exit ships, with retaining dock doors to drain and irrigate water from hidden channels on both sides.

There are ships under repair or under construction docked in the dock room, and keel piers and side piers supporting the ship are set on the bottom plate of the dock room to stabilize the ship and prevent it from being washed away by the current, so that the whole ship can be parked smoothly, which is convenient for shipbuilders to board for maintenance or construction.

The dock head and the dock mouth are at the opposite end, resembling the field screw mouth, where many tools are placed, and there are specially placed security guards on duty here, and Franky is always on duty here as the security captain to prevent outside prying eyes from breaking in.

Kerra looked left and right, secretly marveling in his heart.

Before coming to contact Yang Ming, Kerla only thought that Yang Ming was a gifted naval genius and might become a general of the navy headquarters in the future, but he was just a general with excellent combat effectiveness, and in the end he would only become a high-level thug of the Draco.

But the experience of getting along during this time has long overturned Kerra's past ideas, and he only feels that the young man in front of him is deeply hidden, and he has accumulated considerable power in silence.

The current huge dock alone also needs at least hundreds of millions of Baileys to be successfully built, but Yang Ming relied on his superb skills to incorporate the original Tom Shipbuilding Company by injecting capital into Carrera Company, and it was logical to take Mr. Tom's property into his name.

This approach did not give the impression of being clever, but Mr. Tom and Esbagu, the two parties, wanted Yang Ming to do this, and they were full of gratitude.

I have to say that this method is really clever.

Kerla prides himself on being Yang Ming, and I'm afraid he didn't expect to do this at all.

Now Esbagu, as the boss of Carrera Company, is using a large amount of funds provided by Yang Ming, taking advantage of the imminent drought Jack and the panic in the capital of seven waters, through cheap prices, a large number of mergers and acquisitions of other shipbuilding companies, and collecting all kinds of skilled shipbuilders, so that Carrera Company has now become a giant that dominates the shipbuilding industry.

Seeing this, it is estimated that everyone will understand who is secretly promoting the news of Drought Jack's arrival.

Of course, Yang Ming is not deceiving the public.

In fact, surveillance ships at the Navy headquarters have already identified Drought Jack's ship crossing the windless zone, and there is no need to guess where the destination is.

When disaster comes, the rich will sell their fixed assets for cash, leave the local area with their families, and seek refuge elsewhere.

Under normal circumstances, this would have led to the dissolution of a large number of shipbuilders, the loss of countless shipbuilders, and the impoverishment of countless families.

Yang Ming did this for both public and private purposes.

The shipbuilder, who should have been unemployed, doubled his income after joining Carrera's company, which is also a blessing in disguise.

Steel giants under construction can be seen everywhere in the giant dock, and on the wooden frames sit all kinds of shipbuilders, or hammers "clanging" and pounding, or disassembling propellers and tail shafts for steel warships, or applying waterproof paint, everyone is busy doing their job.

"What kind of ship is this, and how come I've never seen it before?"

Looking at the steel giant ship with a length of more than 100 meters in the dock, Kerra was shocked in his heart and looked horrified.

In this era, most kingdoms still used wooden sailing ships, at most only the number of sails changed, or a layer of iron plated on the hull, and there were no real steel giants.

There are both limitations in science and technology, as well as limitations in terms of materials and costs.

As a result, the size of the ship is limited, and it cannot sail continuously for more than a year, at most half a year, it needs to dock for repair, otherwise the ship will be damaged and prone to problems during the voyage.

At present, this steel giant ship has completely subverted people's imagination in the past.

First of all, it is composed of a large number of steel materials, without any wood, which also means that the steel giant ship is not afraid of long-term sailing, for fear that the ship is immersed in seawater for a long time by seawater corrosion and rot, at most, the hull is easy to rust, need to go to the dock regularly for maintenance and repair, but the one-time sailing time is more than twice as long as in the past.

Secondly, the steel giant does not have any sails installed on the deck, which means that it does not need to rely on wind power, but is driven by other energy sources.

Finally, most of the guns that are prevalent today are solid ammunition, which will not have much impact on steel giants due to the limited power of explosions, which means that these steel giants can sail freely and become a nightmare for many pirates and even revolutionary troops!

On this sea, an important criterion for judging whether a person is a great sword is whether this person can cut off a three-masted sailing ship with one sword.

There are countless strong people like Da Jianhao in the new world.

Even in the original plot, often a large number of warships in the navy come to serve as a background board, as if they came out to go through the motions, they were sunk by a move by the strong.

But once the navy is fully armed with these steel giants, the past when the strong people sank warships with one move will be gone forever!

Kerra naturally understood such a truth, and in addition to the huge shock in her heart, she was not a silly girl, but because of her childhood experience of being a slave of the Draco, Kerra's mind was sharper than others, and she soon realized the purpose of Yang Ming specially bringing her to visit the dock.

"Is this showing muscles to our revolutionary army?"

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Kerra's mouth.

Among allies, it is also necessary to divide a high and low level in order to determine who will lead it.

Obviously, Yang Ming has never been a person who is accustomed to giving up the initiative to others, and he wants to be firmly in his hands in everything, but he does not want to show this meaning in a direct way, which seems to be very domineering and rude, in addition to making allies disgusted, it will also make people estranged, it is better to use this euphemism to reveal the meaning.

Yang Ming didn't seem to notice Kerra's slightly resentful gaze, and said to himself:

"Carrera Company has now undertaken a large number of naval projects to build these steel warships, with the current manpower and material resources, Carrera Company can build two steel warships in a month, and twenty-four steel warships in a year, if the proficiency of shipbuilders is improved in the future, it may be able to build more."

Crossing the steel giant that was still under construction, Yang Ming took Kerra to the completed steel giant ship.

The steel giant is 128 meters long, longer than the largest warship currently in service with the naval headquarters, with a standard displacement of more than 17,000 tons, a speed that has not yet been tested, and can use the steam engine as a power source, in theory, much faster than the sail warship, at least 20 knots per hour.

Not only that, the steel giant has three rows of gun doors, the 150 mm diameter pitch-black muzzle is polished to reveal its hideous side, and the armor thickness at the ship's waterline reaches 432 mm.

The commonly used disposable chopsticks are about 200 mm, which means that the armor at the waterline of the ship is as thick as two disposable chopsticks, and if there are fish-people or sea kings and other creatures, trying to sink the ship in the sea by gouging through the bottom of the ship under the sea surface as before, it will hit the steel plate and touch a nose of ash.

Hearing Yang Ming's words, Kerra's whole person was numb.

If the navy continues to develop in this way, how can the revolutionary army make waves?

At this moment, Kalifa twisted her thin waist and stepped on the lotus step slowly.

Kalifa leaned over slightly, the fishnet corset outlined a blood-spurting arc, a touch of white skin came into view, and the red lips smeared with lipstick came close to Yang Ming's earlobe and exhaled, tickling Yang Ming's ears.

"Captain, you really expected it, Luqi has already monitored that Drought Jack is currently less than a hundred kilometers away from the capital of seven waters, and it is expected that he will reach the capital of seven waters in more than two hours."

Kerra pricked up his ears and suddenly looked startled when he heard the news.

"Drought Jack has always been cruel and murderous, and once he is allowed to land in the capital of the seven waters, it will be a big deal!"

Yang Ming pressed his hand and signaled Kerra to be calm.

Immediately, he invited Kerra to step on the steel giant ship and travel with him.

The boy stood at the bow of the ship, his hands around his chest, his shoulders draped over a naval cape, and the word justice behind him caught the eye.

"In the face of disaster, if even the heroes run away, then who else can stand up?"
