Chapter 272

Everything is waiting for the east wind

"Hey, are you mistaken? How could I be that stupid Erlang's wife?"

Gong Zi, who was leaning on the bed in her pajamas, said this and stopped talking. She touched the decoration on her chest with her hands and looked at Juliana. Suddenly, a soft smile appeared on her face.

"Julianna, what do you want to have? You know his identity is..."

Looking at Gong Zi, Juliana's blue eyes, there was a strange smile. This expression was rare on the gentle and gentle Juliana's face. Moreover, she also interrupted Gong Zi's words directly.

"I know his identity!"

"And his age, my sister is several years older than him, and..."

"I know this too!"

When answering, Juliana put down the comb. She had just been combing her long golden hair, which had just been washed. With the fragrance of the shower, the tall Juliana came to Gong Zi. She used her slender fingers to pick up the tent from her chest, and carefully observed the cat's eyes with her eyes, with a little seduction in her tone.

"What a beautiful gem, Sister Gong, if you want this pendant to stay on your neck, then I'm afraid you really have to be his wife!"

Gong Zi raised her eyebrows and looked at Juliana's face carefully, wondering if she had any special plans. Then she seemed to have made a difficult decision and reached out to untie the necklace. But Juliana reached out to stop her movements, and then put her red lips close to Gong Zi's ears.

"We...you know, you shouldn't...but if you marry him, or..."

Juliana's ambiguous words and the heat she exhaled in Gong Zi's ears when she spoke made Gong Zi feel a little excited. She pretended to turn her head unintentionally, trying to catch Juliana's lips talking with her mouth. Unexpectedly, Juliana just kissed her lips like a dragonfly and then smiled.

"Well, this won't work. If you are not his woman, then we..."

Gong Zi stared at Juliana for a while before saying something.

"Wouldn't that be all cheaper than that stupid Erlang!"

Juliana looked at Gong Zi's appearance and leaned on her shoulder and laughed.

"But there is no rush to decide on these things. At least we have to wait until the war in Aden is over, and then we will talk about it when Fu Bo comes back!"

Speaking of this, she lay down on the bed again, looking at the ceiling.

"I really don't know when Teacher Martin and the others will be ready. It's basically the same here, now..."

Gong Zi, who had just been disturbed by Juliana's ambiguity, responded.

"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!"

So how are you preparing for the "Dongfeng" now?

At this moment, the people on Felekite Island were spending another busy late night. Because until now, the manufacturing of warships and merchant ships has not stopped. Compared with the manufacturing of merchant ships, the Qinhuang-class warships are easier to manufacture. Now Martin is transforming and upgrading these warships.

The reason for the transformation of the Qinhuang-class warship is that Gong Zi used Fire Rain and the missiles used by Muke. Martin importantly recruited and manufactured these two types of ammunition, and installed a stone thrower on the empty top deck of the Qinhuang-class warship. Unlike the land thrower, the counterweight used for ships uses convenient sea water. With the different weight of the sea water, the range of the stone thrower can be easily adjusted.

The transformation of Gong's Fire Rain and Mu's missiles is not difficult for Martin, a person who is not familiar with future weapons, but is familiar with mathematics, physics and chemistry.

First of all, the transformation of Gong's Fire Rain is that the shell uses porcelain, which is easier to separate the moisture and is also easier to control the combustion time of the gunpowder lead. The solid gunpowder lead has deep marks. The gunner only needs to break to the relative position according to the distance to basically ensure an explosion before landing.

Secondly, the transformation of the Muss missile is slightly more complicated. The round-shaped porcelain bullet body is even equipped with four tail wings at the rear. The front is equipped with impact fuzes of the crossbows used by the flying swallow crossbow cannon.

Martin's transformation gave death a wing. However, due to material issues and Martin's shallow understanding of weapons, he is better at transforming weapons of this era, and he is really unable to make new weapons. At least until now, he has not yet created a real cannon or gun that can be used.

In addition to installing four stone throwers on the forty-meter deck on the top floor. More importantly, Martin decided to install a human-powered drive system on the Qinhuang-class warship based on Abu Bakr's report. Although this system made him feel a little funny, Abu Bakr's experience in actual combat shows that this power device that increases maneuverability is very useful.

Abu Bakr's example is that when he launched a shelling on the castle in Hodeida City, he found that the battleships relying solely on fans were relatively large in targets and the maneuver routes were relatively fixed. These factors made the Qinhuang-class warships easily turned into targets when facing heavy stone throwers.

Martin sucked the popular pipe on the island of Felekay, complaining in his heart about the "things" Zhao Fubo and Abu Bakker found for him.

"Do you think the transformation of the human-drive system on the warship is so easy? This is really what I know about mathematics, physics and chemistry hundreds of years later, otherwise it would definitely not be possible!"

The human drive system designed by Martin is a power system using gears and transmission belts. Two propellers are installed at the tails of the two bodies of the two Qinhuang catamarans. The bronze-made spiral shaft has a groove like a gear, which transmits power through the conveyor belt.

Speaking of this conveyor belt, we must talk about Martin's new invention. The transmission belt made of glass wire cloth is installed with square blocks. These blocks can be matched with the grooves on the shaft to achieve the purpose of transmitting power.

These transmission belts will be combined with those imitating bicycle pedal systems. Their power is transmitted to a heavy flywheel system to increase the smoothing of torque and power output. Martin, who has never learned mechanical systems, almost exhausted his efforts for this system.

The person sitting next to him was because he could not go out to sea, and he was urging him almost every day. As the commander of a squadron in the future, he was also imitating Martin to get a pipe and was lying beside him and was sucking mist. He was not very satisfied with his coming to his place. Martin, who could not even drive away like a plague god, spoke with a sarcasm.

"Well, I said Matt, maybe when we arrive, they have completely occupied the province of Aden! So young people, don't worry, believe that the wealth your father gets will be left to you in the end!"

Martin is indeed a little disrespectful. If he had not designed and manufactured most of the things in many new things on the island of Ferai, then Matt, who was the captain and would be the commander of the squadron in the future, would not have listened to him as seriously as he had seen.

"My dear Teacher Martin, you don't understand. What a painful day it would be when a sailor can only live on the shore bored! So my people and I are very anxious and hope that you will complete the transformation of these warships as soon as possible.

What I want to say is that my father will certainly leave it to me about wealth, but if I could get some myself, maybe he wouldn't be so tired!"

Martin didn't believe his insincere words. He knew that young people always didn't like a stable and peaceful life. Like Martin himself, he was quite satisfied with life on the island of Felecai.

At least the lights here are bright, at least there is a toilet here. Although for the time being, there is no water tower yet, so there is no tap water, but it is better than using a wooden barrel or simply digging a hole underground. If that's the case, Martin would rather suffocate himself to death.

"Don't worry, young man, patience is a virtue. I can tell you about the time I will complete the preparation, and I believe it will take three to five days. I advise you to take this opportunity to train the new sailors you have attracted from slaves.

Just as your father told me, a good pirate captain always needs a group of good pirate sailors. Otherwise, you may never become a truly great pirate!"

Martin really didn't know what to say about Abu Bakker's pirate complex. This old pirate not only became a pirate himself, but even Martin felt that this guy was very proud of the name of pirate.

Matt, who received the letter, certainly did not want to accompany Martin to see how bored he was in building a ship, but he finally urged him.

"Ah, Teacher Martin, you are a person who has been imitated by the gods. So you know everything and are not in a hurry at all. But I am just an ordinary pirate, so I want to go back to the sea as soon as possible. In addition, you don't have to worry about training crew members. As a pirate captain who will inevitably be great, I will also have a group of excellent pirate crew members. Let's do our own things!"

After saying that, Matt left the captain with his pipe in his mouth. He found that Martin, who was getting more and more addicted to smoking, raised his neck and shouted.

"Hey, boy, please smoke less cigarettes. If you smoke too much, you will be deadly!"

Martin, who had already reached the door, stopped and turned around and looked back at the pipe that was putting back into his mouth, Martin replied.

"Teacher Martin, you are such a strange person. This reminds me of a fable that I heard from mixed-race people. Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. Teacher Martin, have you ever been a state official? I heard that it is not a good official position!"
