Akon glanced at Captain Hook's men behind him, which frightened the pirates except for Captain Hook's henchmen. They fear that once chosen by Akon, it will become the Shadow Baron's Dinner for the Living Dead.

"I wonder which guy flipped my fast dinghy over with a single shot during the last encounter at sea?" Akon squinted his eyes and said coldly.

As soon as Akon said this, most of the pirates behind Captain Hook breathed a sigh of relief. Only one of them had a strip of red cloth tied on his head, and the thin guy stepped back step by step like five thunderbolts. Then suddenly turn around and run! Captain Hook frowned and snorted at Scarface, who immediately chased after him with a few tall pirates.

Akon bowed slightly to Captain Hook, "We'll see you in the open sea in five days." After saying that, he beckoned to Stoke and Regulus, and the three of them took a few black crew members and walked away.

At night, there was a knock on Stoker's hotel door, and when he opened it, he saw no one found, but there was a large black cloth bag on the ground. Stoke immediately called out to Akon, who was living with him, and the two dragged the black cloth bag into the house and lit the lantern. When I opened the sack, I saw that there was a person who was tied up sturdily. Stoke looked closely, and saw that it was the pirate who had escaped from Captain Hook's men, with a red strip of cloth on his head.

Akon immediately called everyone over, and Regulus stepped forward to undo the blindfold from the man's head and dug out the rag that he had stuffed in his mouth. Stoke approached the guy with a lamp, shaking his eyes.

"You're the guy who knocked my speedboat over with one shot?" Akon asked with a fierce look on his face.

"Master, please forgive me!" The emaciated pirate immediately begged for mercy, "I can't help myself, villain!" "This guy was trembling, and when he saw the book demon, he trembled even more like chaff." Don't come, wizard, my lords, please spare me. I can do the work for you, I can do anything......"

"Work?" Akon smiled weirdly, "Our Baron has some work for you to do...... But how do you prove that you are the one who overturned my speedboat? ”

The pirate looked around and said to Aken, "Let me go, and I'll prove it to you......"

Stoke cut the rope that bound him with a sailor's knife, and the boy moved his shoulders, walked to the table, took a small spoon, and took a piece of sugar from the sugar jar. Walked ten steps away from the table, closed one eye, and glanced at one of the tea jars on the table. Then place the sugar cube in a spoon that rests on the edge of a chair, exposing the handle of the spoon. After adjusting the angle, he suddenly pressed his finger on the handle of the spoon and pry the spoon to pop the sugar cube......

The sugar cube crossed a graceful parabola above everyone's heads, "Bang! "With a bang, it was thrown into the tin cup with great precision! was so shocked that everyone couldn't keep their mouths together. Even Xuanyuan, a super archer with an ancient scout soul, doesn't have the ability to throw out a piece of candy like this! After a quick mental arithmetic, Akon was surprised to find that if this was a shell, then it could hit a mainmast half a nautical mile away!

Seeing that everyone didn't speak for a long time, the pirate said in a sincere panic: "I am also very accurate in throwing darts, and there is no one in the entire Caribbean who can beat me." If you spare me, I can make you a little money in the tavern at every port......"

Akon hahadaxiao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to do this little thing, the baron has something he wants you to do." If you can prove your loyalty, we will not treat you badly. ”

"Do you want me to be a gunner?" This kid is actually very clever.

"I don't know what else you can do." Akon laughed.

The Red Cloth Pirate patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to turn me into a zombie......"

Akon suddenly sank his face and frightened, "If you don't obey, we have this plan." You know, even if we turn you into the living dead, it won't affect your abilities, and we've saved money for food. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, you have to inquire, Red Cloth Striped Jack is the most loyal and brave sailor in the entire Caribbean!" Red Strip Jack patted his chest and reassured.

"It's going to take time to prove......" Akon ignored him and turned to Stoke and said, "Stoker, I'll leave this guy to you, greet him for me." This kid doesn't know that he hasn't taken a bath for months, and he stinks to death......"

The day after receiving Jack with the Red Cloth, a small auction of stolen goods was held in the Hidden Harbor on the island of Barbados. Zhang Fan's team was naturally invited. Most of the booty looted by pirates was ships and cargo, and there were some good things among them. For example, there are some ship heads, rare items, muskets, swords, cannons, theodolites, etc. The organizer of the auction is the fat man of the Pirate Guild, and this guy is very keen on this kind of thing, because he can salvage another ticket.

Because the Galen merchant ship captured by Zhang Fan's team from Hawkins was too heavy as a prop to fit into the weight space of the ring, it could only be used in this scene. Therefore, Akon didn't care much about the ship. Just thinking about this trial scene before selling the ship and getting more scene wealth. If it weren't for the naval battle with Captain Hook right now, and the Caribbean Sea for the next twenty years, Akon wouldn't bother to rebuild it.

One of the cannons caught the attention of Akon and the Bookdemon at the auction, a bronze cannon mounted on a round cast-iron frame fixed to the deck. The barrel of the gun is very long, close to four meters, and there are six iron hoops on the barrel. The caliber of the gun is 14 centimeters, and it is a Kofilin long-barreled cannon that fires 17-pound shells! Although the ground is fixed on the deck, the direction can be adjusted 360 degrees through the movable turntable at the junction of the chassis and the gun body, and the elevation angle can also be adjusted from near flat to 30 degrees.

According to the analysis of the length of the cannon, the book demon and Akon have a long range of this cannon, and there is a natural rifling in the cast iron chamber of this cannon. This rifling is very shallow, and it is clear that it is not artificially processed, because in this era, although the rifling of the barrel of a musket appeared, the cannon was not yet capable of making rifling.

The rifling of this gun is formed naturally during the casting process of the barrel. And because of this natural rifling, the fired shell is constantly rotating and rubbing in the barrel, and this rifling becomes clearer. That is, with the increased use of this gun, after the rifling was more pronounced, the range of the shells was longer.

With this one-in-a-million natural rifling cast from the barrel, this cannon can be said to have become a wonder with a super long range! According to the ratio of the caliber of the cannon body, as well as the appearance of natural rifling, Akon and the book demon analyzed, the firing range of this large long-barreled cannon can reach more than three nautical miles, and the effective firing range is also more than 800 meters!

In this day and age, there should be no one to beat it! Thus the cannon also has a prefix name:

'Nasty Tongue' (dark green): A large long-barreled cannon with a natural rifling that has a long range! It's a very nasty guy who always spits insidious attacks out of other people's range.

Spit Contest Winner: In competitions like this, I'm always number one! Increases the range by 50%, regardless of the type of shell fired.

Nasty Prank: Increases the ability of chain-fired projectiles to destroy mast sails by 50%, increases the damage coverage of grapetear shells by 50%, and increases the penetration of normal shells by 50%.

…………

Such a weapon is naturally what Akon is determined to obtain. Because in the naval battles of the era of sail gunboats, the long-range Kou Feilin long-barreled cannon must have been the mainstream. However, twenty years before the 'Anglo-Spanish Naval War', all the navigators and ship commanders were not aware of this. They are also trying to maximize the power of destroying enemy ships at close range before the broadside battle, and the short-range short-barreled cannon is still being sought.

That's why there will be pirates in Weishenme who will put this weapon up for auction. This extra-long big guy is just taking up too much space. And the power at close range is not as good as that of a cannon, which is really chicken. But the book demon Akon, who is familiar with history, did not hesitate to buy this large long-barreled cannon of Kou Feilin, which no one cared about.

But the nasty did take up space, and the 150-ton Galen had a deck that was only 6 meters wide and barely fit the long-barreled cannon. However, the lateral adjustment of the launch angle can only be within 60 degrees in front of the bow, and if you want to shoot laterally from the side of the ship, the huge recoil will make the warship roll on its side, which is not only dangerous, but also seriously affects the shooting accuracy!

The old sea wolf didn't lie, and ten days later, Zhang Fan's team's Galen sailboat was indeed transformed. The newly purchased cannon was also installed. The aft deck has been drastically reduced, with all the decorations that do not help the boat and the balcony-style aft deck for the captain's enjoyment have been removed. The wind resistance during navigation is greatly reduced. This ship was perhaps the shortest Galen warship of its time.

Then the keel was reinforced, and the original bow image was replaced. The old sea wolf found a bow statue with a style that represented the island of Barbados, a pelican, among a pile of tattered shipheads. This made Akon cry and laugh a little. What did he think, even if he couldn't get a lion's head like Captain Hook, he had to make a sea monster or something. A pelican, isn't it a little funny?

But it's no wonder that the old sea wolf, this bow statue is already the most complete one in his repair shop, and this pelican bow statue can also increase the speed and loading capacity of the ship by 10%, which is very practical for a modified light Galen warship. Therefore, the pelican shipwreck was recognized by the book demon, and he even named the ship 'Pelican'! According to the book demon's information, the pelican will be the national bird of the island nation of Barbados, and the 'pelican' is ......
