Reborn As a Pirate

v1 Chapter 69: Fluorescent cave

   Under the assessment of the master level, the condition of the Macaw is exceptionally good.

   The structure is intact and the boat material is tough.

   She doesn't look like an old woman who has experienced a hundred years of wind and frost. She looks more like a ship of 30 or 40 years, but lacks care for a long time.

   Lorraine lacks expertise in materials science, but according to what Kren said, the result seems to be a special oxide film on the surface of the hull.

   All exposed decks of the entire ship are covered with this special film, which is thinner above the draft and thicker below the draft.

   This kind of membrane insulates the corrosion of wood by ammonia, which slows down its aging, and can go out to sea at any time.

   Of course, this does not mean that the Macaw does not need repairs.

   The small iron parts on the ship are rusty badly.

  Karen’s plan is to directly replace the parts with sufficient spare parts on the Pansy, like cable buckles and masts, and the anchors can also be split from the Pansy.

   Brig and Brigentine are the same type of ships, each with four anchors, and keeping two feet allows them to stay stable in calm waters, such as Hebasil Island, or large piers in various countries.

There is no way to fix the rivets of the hull at the moment, but thanks to the same film, the rivets of the Macaw can still fight for a few more rounds. As long as there is no storm and battle on the road, you can drive back to Southampton for major repairs. replace.

  The problem of iron and wood was solved smoothly, which means that the problem of the ship has been solved 80%.

   The rest are small things.

   Waterproof glue is not a problem, and the material on the cable **** is also sufficient.

   As for the sails, Karen’s plan was to remove the two-sided sails of the Pansy and transform it into a bow sail, which can provide the Macaw with a certain amount of wind cutting ability.

The horizontal sail of the    Butterfly Flower is a three-sail system, only the bottom large sail is retained, and the mid-section horizontal sail is transferred to the Macaw to form a downwind side.

   The upper section of the horizontal sail is divided into two slopes, and it is modified into a double-sided rear mast Latin sail to increase the speed of the ship.

This adjustment can greatly reduce the use of cables. After the completion of the transformation, Klein predicts that the Macaw will be able to obtain a speed of five knots downwind and three and a half knots upwind in the Atlantic, which is enough to keep up with the lack of sails of the Pansy to form a ship. Drive back to Britain together.

   Lorraine was overjoyed. He entrusted the task of changing the ship to a trusted master, and immediately ordered people to bring the good news back to Xiangfeng Camp.

  The first round of sea cave exploration, the income was three thousand pounds!

   The memories of the heavy casualties were left behind by the excited sailors, and the second round of selection was started that night. This time Lorraine asked 28 people.

  The new expedition team will drive the repaired Macaw back to the sea cave in three days, and collect the pirate treasures that have been identified!

  ...

   After three days, the repair of the Butterfly Flower was orderly, and it was 40% completed.

   The unrecognizable Macaw carried the morale expedition slowly off the shore, using the wind and guns to start flying the bats, returning to the end of the waterway.

   The warship anchored.

   This time Lorraine brought more people, pushed three gun carts, and brought 20 copies of the light medicine bag, which can be used directly as an explosive bag without the artillery.

   The long line lit the torch and once again came to the place where it had encountered the monitor lizard.

   The corpse of the monitor lizard was gone, and the corpse of the sailor who was left behind was also missing. Only the light cannon and the remaining cannonballs are still stacked together intact, the same as they were three days ago.

   Lorraine knew that the Komodo dragon lizards had the habit of rot-eating and cannibalism. This change proved that the group of monitor lizards they encountered was not the only owner in the sea cave.

   They may have the same kind, and perhaps there are predators in the cave that are as powerful as them, or even more powerful.

   Lorraine raised his arm: "Take a rest, install the gun, and set the guard in three groups. Don't stay away from the brigade."

   That battle seems to have worked...

  Animals are much more sensitive than humans. In an approximately closed ecological environment like sea caves, Komodo dragons must be the uppermost overlord even if they are not at the top of the food chain.

They attacked new humans, paying the price of eight adult monitor lizards, and only hunted three people. This is enough for this ecosystem to rank human strength. More than half, this ranking will be higher than that of monitor lizards. .

   Thinking of this, Lorraine suddenly felt more confident.

   After the break, the team continued to move forward, passing through the narrowest point of the tunnel without rushing, and after that, it became more and more open.

   Noya followed Lorraine step by step, watching the increasingly dark cave wall vigilantly.

   "Captain, do you think the cave is getting hot?"

   "It's a bit..." Lorraine pulled at his collar. "Lizards are cold-blooded animals. If there is no warm environment, their desire to act will decrease and they will not be so aggressive."

   "Really?" Noya's big eyes blinked with curiosity, "Captain, how do you know everything?"

   "Basic biological knowledge..." Lorraine shrugged helplessly. "Kren and Acharin also know."

   "I know that humility is the virtue of a gentleman!" Noah nodded seriously, "Captain, there is no light in the cave, why does it get hot?"

   "Probably, we are marching towards the volcano..."

"volcano!"

   The two were chatting, the team turned a huge arc in the process, and their eyes suddenly lit up!

   They entered a flat and wide cave.

The cave is more than ten meters high, egg-shaped, and shaped like a theater. The widest point is thirty to forty meters, and there are clusters of red or green, peculiar plants growing everywhere in the cave, reflecting the entire cave. Weird and strange, like a dream and illusion.

   The light is faint, not enough to hold, but the sailors have traveled in the dark sea cave for a long time, except for the orange-red square inch of the torch, they have already adapted to the invisible darkness.

   The light and clear holes in front of my eyes make people feel relaxed unconsciously.

   Lorraine looked at all this in disbelief: "Are these fluorescent mushrooms?"

   Fluorescent mushroom is a peculiar creature that emits light when it grows. It is a fungus and is not edible.

   This is still the strange cold knowledge that Avatar brought to Lorraine in the last life, knowing it, but not knowing it.

   This kind of precious species suddenly appeared in Hebasi, which naturally surprised Lorraine?

   Noya next to him was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he couldn't help but leaned up. After two steps, he was pulled by Hina, who didn't know when he came to the front team.

   "Henna?"

   "Beautiful things often contain danger." Hina pointed at a luminous mushroom not far away, "At least those monitor lizards dare not come here."

   Through her, Lorraine and Noya saw that there were more or less bones accumulated in the slices of fluorescent mushrooms.

   Most of them are animals, but there are occasional human heads.

   They are hidden in the brightest part of the cave, looming and hard to detect. If it were not for Hina's sharp eyes, even Lorraine would have almost missed it.

   In fact, he did miss it.

   To be more precise, apart from Hina, no one in the entire expedition found the danger hidden in it. Everyone was bewildered by the untold beauty in front of them!

   At least ten sailors are walking towards the luminous mushroom, and the nearest one has almost reached into the light cluster.

   "Everyone stay away! Cover your face and don't touch it!" Lorraine warned the team loudly.

   His voice is not unpleasant. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is not fast enough compared to the agile and defenseless sailor.

   There are already two sailors reaching into the light bushes, and they were taken aback when they heard Lorraine's voice.

"what!"

   screams suddenly!

   The sailors who reached into the plexus raised their arms and staggered backwards, with a colorful ribbon wrapped in their hands, and after only a few steps back, they twitched and fell to the ground.

The ribbon loosened from their arms and swam to the next sailor. Only two sounds were heard. Henna's red velvet flying knife pinned one, and Noah's silver tarot cut the other into two. part.

   "It's a coral snake!" Henna quickly drew a new throwing knife, "They were scared!"

   "I was also scared!" Lorraine drew out the double knives with a sound, spread his arms, and protected the sailors behind him back slowly.

   There are hundreds of colorful ribbons swimming out of the light clusters, and each one is only fifty or sixty centimeters. The body is slender and beautiful.

   They approached the expedition from all directions, pressing down the circle smaller and smaller, most of them held up their chests, propped up their triangular heads, hissing bright red snake letters.

   This is a sign that an attack is about to be launched!

   Lorraine, Noya, and Hina stand in a line in the finished fonts, each guarding their companions, but even they are stared at by hundreds of snakes, and there is no guarantee of getting out.

   Even more so, even if they smashed out of this cave, what should they do when they come back?

   "Acharin! Fire the cannon into the open field, hurry up!"

   Yacharin's face blushed with blood: "If... Captain, what if you can't scare them away!"

   "If you can't scare them away... The Drake Chamber of Commerce can be renamed the Attis Chamber of Commerce. Shoot!"
