v2 Chapter 229: Crocodile with toothpick bird (2/2)
It was not until he saw the sunset in front of him that he remembered every bit of another world. Perhaps this was the only thing that had not changed for more than two hundred years.
However, he did not indulge in some kind of nostalgic or sad emotions, and quickly drew himself from the memories, finished the bottle of rum with Anne silently, and the two returned to the camp where the camp was located. On the beach.
Billy came right over to him at this time, ”I don't know if Anne has told you that our repair and cleaning work is nearing completion, and we can launch again tomorrow at noon.”
Zhang Heng nodded. ”Everyone is working hard these days. After repairing the boat, take a half-day break and rest. Let's get better. Let's set off the next morning.”
Billy has no objection to this, and Freine came shortly after he left to make a routine report to Zhang Heng before going out to sea. ”Our food and freshwater problems have been solved, and the reserves on board are sufficient One and a half months of sailing, but considering the survivors on Parrot Island, I hid the rest of the food and fresh water in a cave on the west side of the beach, which can ensure our mobility to the greatest extent. At the same time, if there is a need, we can also come back to take out this part of the supplies. After all, these two places are only separated by a day's flight. ”
”You did a good job.” Zhang Heng praised the quartermaster's work, but the latter did not leave.
Di Freine paused and said, ”In terms of artillery shells, we have experienced several fierce battles in a row. Our consumption is relatively large, but in addition to the 24 pound artillery shells, we also found a supplement on Miranda.
Zhang Heng frowned. ”If it doesn't work, replace the 24-pound cannon with a 12-pound cannon.”
”In fact, what I am most worried about is not artillery shells, but gunpowder,” Mr Quartermaster said gravely. The gunpowder buckets were all dismantled. We rescued some of them. Before I opened the two buckets and looked at them, I thought there was nothing wrong, but I just checked them again and found that several of them were very wet. ”
”Then the amount of gunpowder on board now is enough to support us in a battle?”
”It's almost enough for us to fire seven or eight rounds of shells,” Difraine said briefly, and replied.
This number is still within the acceptance range of Zhang Heng. Seven rounds of attacks, almost a battle can be divided into victory and defeat ~~ However, their fault tolerance space is indeed smaller, but here One step, there is no reason to give up.
The Jackdaw has now completed the repair of the hull, and is no longer in a fragile state. Even if it cannot fight, it can choose to escape. After sailing sailing skills rose to lv3, Zhang Heng was also very confident in his helm technology.
Whether for that 5,000 pounds of gold, for the surviving pirates on the island, or for the revenge of a previous arrow, this battle is imperative.
Zhang Heng patted Difraina's shoulder. ”Don't worry, we will kill them in seven rounds of fighting.”
”Yes, Captain.” Obviously, the quartermaster was not willing to return to Nassau with such empty hands. He just fulfilled his duties and truthfully reported the situation to Zhang Heng. As for the subsequent decisions, the captain made the decision.
No words overnight.
The next day, the pirates sent the repaired Jackdaw back to the sea by rolling wood. It was not until the witness that the refreshed Jackdaw was launched successfully. There was a burst of cheers in the crowd. Their work these days was not wasted, not only repair The previous hull had holes and cracks, and the Jackdaw was reinforced with extra material to prepare for the upcoming final battle.
