The oath-taking meeting was very short. In the afternoon, Houyi and Xingtian were already sailing on the rippling sea. In order to avoid people’s eyes and ears, they chose to sail slightly away from the coastline. Although I had encountered other ships during the sea trials of the two ships, and some people secretly peeked at them with small boats nearby, it was not a big secret that the two large ships in Bailang City were bought and modified. However, it is better to have less trouble than more things. Xiao Chen is not afraid of trouble but hates trouble. He is full of trouble.
On the bridge of Houyi, Jerez stood beside Xiao Chen and was flirting with a telescope. This is a military telescope standard for the Tower of China, and it is a gift from Xiao Chen to him.
Seeing this middle-aged man’s strange look, Xiao Chen focused all his attention on the telescope.
Jerez suddenly made this request when the fleet set sail and wanted to come on board. There are three old brothers outside him. Of course, Xiao Chen welcomed such an old captain, but he still had to ask him clearly what he really thought.
Xiao Chen asked curiously: “Mr. Jerez, do you really want to follow us to the Sea of Furious? Most of the sailors I recruited here are young people without family members, who go out to sea to try their best for their future, but you have your own family in Shuangfan City. Of course, I really need an experienced navigator like you, but…”
Jerez said: “Mr. Xiao Chen, I know how dangerous it is to go to the Sea of Furiousness, but when I heard you speak at that oath ceremony below, I wanted to climb onto the ship immediately and follow you! No, think about it carefully, I didn’t have this idea today. I participated in your entire shipbuilding process. I had such an idea a long time ago. You know that the Sea of Furiousness is a nightmare for sailors, but it is also a place where many people have tried their best to go and take a look. Which sailor wouldn’t have thought of conquering that place when he was young? Being able to cross the Sea of Furiousness and reach the Western Continent, you are the same as the legendary captains! This is the dream of all seamen.
Although I am not a master of sailing, I have thought so too. Now there is a chance in front of me. I see the methods you used in transforming ships these days. There is a voice in my heart saying that if such a person does not succeed in going to the Sea of Furiousness, there is no way anyone will succeed. And I only have one chance to achieve this goal in my life, that is, to get on the boat with them. Do whatever you want, just give me a chance to go with me.
The people who walk on the sea do whatever they want, so I came. As for my family, they have their own destiny. I gave them enough money to live on, and I can’t take care of that much.”
Xiao Chen said, “Then I understand. You and your companions can serve as consultants on our ship now. Many of your experiences are something we can’t buy.”
“Sir. I’m not boasting about my experience and experience at the sea, here in Shuangfan CityThere are not many people in the area who can compare to me. Most of the old guys who have more experience than me can’t go out. “Jeres said.
“You should also be very proficient in naval warfare, right? “
Seeing Jerez was stunned, Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Your old guys are very interested in our pneumatic cannons. I have noticed their discussion, and it sounds like some ideas, such as how to fire a cannon first, then jump to the gang, what wind directions are more beneficial, etc., it must be people who have fought many naval battles, otherwise they would not have thought of these things. ”
