v2 Chapter 12: Going to sea (20/64)

Ordinary heretics want to really go to sea and go to places with rich resources instead of wasting time on some offshore islands. There are two ways.

The first is to set up a fleet of your own, buy ships, select crew members, navigators, etc., and then hire some other strangers to go to sea independently.

The advantage is that you don't have to look at anyone's face, except for those islands that have been divided into territories, which other islands you want to go to, if you are lucky, you will get something, and the income will be yours, and you will make a lot of money.

The disadvantage is that this is a very risky investment, because the nearly 1,000 gold pounds that were spent before being returned are likely to be lost after a storm. Even if you are lucky enough to land on the island, you are not lucky enough to find enough precious Goods, also lose money.

Donald has no money or power, let alone buying a boat, he doesn't even have enough money to hire manpower and buy charts of overseas islands, so this road will definitely not work.

The second is to join the fleets of other forces and follow them to sea.

The advantage is that you don't have to pay a lot of money, and you can also get a remuneration from the employer. As long as your own harvest meets the requirements of the voyager and you hand in a certain amount of goods, you can earn some extra money for yourself in the extra time, luck Well, he can earn a lot of money.

The disadvantage is that you can't decide where to go by yourself. Due to the lack of information, some people are often taken by inexperienced and hot-headed captains to islands with rich resources but extremely dangerous, and they are finally buried with them. Moreover, the mission standards of each fleet are not In the same way, they paid, and if the hired person did not meet the requirements, they had to refund part of the remuneration. After all, they wanted people who helped, not people who had fished in troubled waters in the past.

"Have you ever been to sea?"

The boat that took them to the sea market was a ferry, but it was two laps bigger than the one that Donald sat on before. There were 16 seats on one boat. Before going to the island, Donald wanted to ask for more information.

"Then I must have gone out. I have gone out three times so far this year. I have gone to some islands that have been fully explored. The focus is on safety."

"Hey, where is a really safe island? Crescent Moon Bay is a safe island, right? It was a place that was discovered a few years ago. I heard that half a month ago, when a fleet docked, I found out that there was nothing nearby. At that time, a group of thorn-headed seagulls built their nests, and it was too late to run away. There was one on the whole ship, and they were all knocked down. Now some fleets with insufficient numbers of aliens dare not go up. Damn, for fear of being targeted!"

The discussion between Blackhand and Donald did not deliberately lower his voice. In fact, Donald did not know about these contents, so after Blackhand finished talking about his situation, someone next to him came in.

"The thorn-headed seagulls are easy to solve. As long as they leave a certain range, they will return to the nest. When I went out to sea, I ran into a group of assassin fish in the sea, but I kept shrinking in the cabin and did not go out. I didn't suffocate Lao Tzu to death."

Someone else shared their experience, which caused the people on the boat to sigh.

"What is an assassination fish?"

Donald didn't understand, so he could only lower his head and ask the black hand.

"It's a very strange kind of fish. These fish swim in groups beside your boat. As long as you get to the side of the boat and expose your body, these fish will jump straight out of the sea, and there will be a mouth on their mouth. If the thorns are pierced into the flesh, it will not kill them, but they will paralyze the whole body. If you are lucky, you can go in. If you are dragged into the sea by the barbs on the thorns, there will be a group of assassin fish waiting below. It only takes a few minutes. , a cow will turn into bones, let alone a man."

Black Hand's hands are about half an arm's length away, which is the general size of an assassin fish, and then he said,

"If you want to know more and more detailed information, you can go to the aquarium in Demingham, don't go to the low-level aquarium, go to the deep sea aquarium, the entrance fee is 1 shilling, but it is absolutely worth it, I remember There are such fish and other dangerous marine creatures in it, but in the end I would like to remind that going out to sea is something that needs careful consideration, especially those islands that are not fully explored. Many people may feel that the first time they hear it. It's fresh, but after going out once, there may be no second time. Those of us who have no background and no support from forces, in the eyes of many people, are going to die..."

As the scope of island exploration is still expanding, the mortality rate of going to sea has remained high, especially those aliens who come here to try their luck at sea. Many of them are often quite confident in their own strength. Landing on the island is just like a tourist outing. For the sake of a large remuneration, they joined the fleets of those big companies to explore the wilderness. When they landed on the island, they found that they had no resistance at all in the face of this savage and dense overseas jungle.

The final result is to use his own life to exchange some useful or useless information for those big companies. As for the high remuneration that should have been paid to them, with the death of the person involved, it will naturally not count.

Donald listened to the conversation between the black hand and the people nearby, and he also had a general idea of ​​the danger of going to sea.

Dangerous for danger, this activity he would not miss.

To win the battle against pain and destruction in the future, he must become stronger.

And the money, treasures, and combat experience needed to become stronger are things that you will never get by exercising yourself in a hidden place all day long.

Now that he knew the way to go to sea, Donald's mind became alive and he asked the black hand how to participate in other fleets.

"This is simple. Most fleets will hire foreigners to ensure safety. Later, after you land on the island, you will find that there will be many extra tables and chairs placed in the port. They are all recruiting people. They will ask about your ability. Some fleets will have requirements for this aspect after they recruit a certain number of people, and then they will talk to you about remuneration and so on. If you close the booth fast enough today, you can try it. Anyway, you can’t participate. Participation is voluntary, and when the time comes, they will leave after asking, and they will not say anything.”

The words of the black hand made Donald involuntarily think of the dungeon activities in certain games in his previous life. He formed a good team to play dungeons together, and everyone obtained money and various resources together to improve their combat effectiveness.

It's just that there is no resurrection here. To die is to die.

It has been about 10 minutes since the ferry left the port in the Tallinn area of ​​the port, and Donald noticed a blue light in the distant sea.

"That's the searchlight on Whale Island. Oh, I forgot to mention that in addition to exploring the island, there is another way to make money. Whaling, now a whale over 10 meters in length can be caught on the outskirts of Whale Island. The whale factory sells for more than 500 gold pounds, and the price of those big whales in the deep sea is several times higher. I heard that the most expensive whale seems to be more than 20 meters long, and one is equal to two large ships in Demingham today."

"I heard that whale oil technology was researched on that island?"

Donald asked, thinking of the whale oil technique the boatman said when he first arrived in Demingham.

"That's right, the original whale oil technology came out of there. For example, the ferry under our **** is also driven by whale oil technology. Recently, I heard that they seem to be studying some steel airships... these things It is gradually spreading to the coastal areas of the entire Lane Empire. I heard that a ton of whale oil can be used for nearly three months of energy loss for an entire block as long as it is converted and purified. There is no place to catch whales, but they have coal mines, and the effect is estimated to be similar, for example, there are still many steam ships using coal at sea in Demingham."

Whale oil energy is a brand new energy source, Donald knew that this energy did exist for a while before oil was fully developed in the previous life, but the world obviously found a new use for whale oil.

"Shore ahead!"

The man at the bow let out a roar, and Donald turned his gaze forward. In the vast white mist, the sea market was finally unveiled in front of Donald.

It is said to be an island. In fact, the prototype of the sea market is a large reef in the ocean. Most of the areas are far away and can't be seen clearly, but Donald can see that the area on the side facing them should have been transformed. Originally The uneven reef surface has long been flattened.

When I got close, I could see that a large number of metal pillars were rising from below in the mist on this platform, and I heard the sound of collision between steel and steel, and then I saw a cloud suddenly appear in the mist in front of me. Bright yellow light, and this is like a signal, in just ten seconds, the entire sea market is completely illuminated!

What appeared in front of Donald was an offshore platform the size of a football field. The ground was covered with steel plates, and on top of these steel plates, in addition to the lamp posts for lighting, some mechanical buildings were gradually rising. .

Like the recruiting office next to the port that the black hand said, it was originally empty, but after the lamppost was lit, several large-scale specially made steel plates first sank, and then indented to both sides. Donald, who got off the boat, happened to see the metal table and chairs being raised. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In places farther away, the situation is similar. The sea market abandoned the stalls or counters, and uniformly used half-person-high metal tables and chairs.

Compared with the slightly mysterious underground market in Preston, the sea market in Demingham is more of a mechanical simplicity and convenience, and everyone seems to be used to it, holding their own goods. , looking for their respective booths.

On the right side of all the tables is a small round metal post. The black hand told Donald that this is where the stall rent is paid. The fee is 3 shillings an hour. This price is probably to be greeted by the merchants in the ordinary market. But here, everyone is used to it.

After discussing with the black hand, Donald decided that the two would share a booth. The goods they sold were very small in size, and they sold very quickly. If they opened it up, they would have to pay an extra portion of the booth rent. , the length that can seat 3 people.
