This is naturally the result of magic, which makes them stronger and more seamless.

Lucifer did not design a four-deck structure, but chose a three-deck structure. The main reason is that the cannons on this ship were produced by Chaldea taking into account the need to replenish ammunition.

However, the cannons produced by Chaldea are naturally not ordinary cannons. They are all strengthened by strengthening magic. Although the cannonballs have not been strengthened by strengthening magic, they can still get bonuses, such as shooting farther and being more powerful!

There are a total of 50 40-pound guns on the gun deck. The artillery shells of this era are roughly divided into three types, namely solid iron bullets, grenades with gunpowder in the air inside, and cylindrical bullets with various iron filings and nails inside.

Shotgun.

However, in the vast majority of armies, solid iron bullets generally account for the highest proportion, reaching 70% or even 80% of the total. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, medieval cannons are all solid iron balls.

.

The damage caused by solid iron bullets is generally linear and extremely penetrating.

Grenades are not suitable for naval battles, so they are not considered.

Shotgun shells are the last line of defense for most artillery. Its purpose is to kill enemy personnel approaching the artillery.

Both cannons and howitzers can fire shotgun shells, but the latter is relatively weak.

The outermost layer of shotshell is generally a thin cylindrical tin can, the bottom of the tin can is made of iron, and the inside contains 20-200 rounds of bullets with a diameter between 10-50 mm.

The moment the projectile leaves the barrel, there is a huge pressure difference between the inside and outside of the gun. The tin shell immediately breaks, and the bullet breaks out, forming a round cake-shaped barrage in the space.

Obviously, this kind of fire coverage will cause terrible losses to the dense formation of enemy forces at close range. It is the shell that pirate ships and naval ships will use after approaching the enemy ship.

The 40-pound cannon can only be said to be average, because there are 60-pound cannons and even 100-pound cannons on top. However, the heavy artillery is powerful, but it also makes the shells more difficult to carry and transport. In Lucifer's view, there are

The heavy artillery strengthened by Chaldea's strengthening magic, the 40-pounder cannon can fire 60-pounder or even more powerful, and the range and speed will be further.

The upper deck, that is, the open-air deck, also has 50 40-pound guns. The Chaldean side refers to the rotary cannon that combines the rotary gun and the cannon. It can be rotated to adjust the angle and elevation. The gun deck cannot rotate, so

Can only be used on the upper deck.

There are 50 20-pound guns on the bow and stern decks. If the shells are about 20 to 32 pounds, the power of the small shells, which are about the size of oranges, is very limited.

But it was used to attack ordinary ships, or in this era, it was actually enough. The pirates used the light-pound cannon so freely and comfortably.

Therefore, the Dongfeng has a total of 150 artillery pieces and is a super first-class sailing battleship!

But it is not a simple sail battleship. Lucifer designed a propeller and a large turntable. Only a crew of more than ten people needs to turn the large turntable to make the propeller rotate quickly and generate driving force.

It is definitely inferior to a steam engine. After all, a steam engine can continuously exert force and is much more powerful. However, if you bring a steam engine, you have to bring more coal and other things. It is better to use human power to drive it. Anyway, then

Multiple gears, through gear transmission, can make the propeller rotate quickly.

So much so that the Dongfeng, which has no wind and no rowers, would make those pirates exclaim that the Governor's witchcraft is terrible!

Only Drake looked at it thoughtfully.

Port of Tutuga!

After Lucifer's supervision and construction, it has changed a lot compared to before. At least the chaos and dirt are no longer visible.

Lucifer even came up with uniforms for the pirates to wear, and their mental outlook suddenly changed, as if they had become a regular army.

During this period, other pirates who came to the Port of Turtuga were also caught in a rush and became the subordinates of Lucifer, the self-proclaimed Atlantic Pirate King and the Governor of the Atlantic Pirate Fleet.

In the port of Tutuga Port, a huge black shadow is moored on the sea. Its mast stands as straight as a gun, and its sails are motionless.

It looks like a giant castle standing guard by the coast, giving it a majestic and solemn aura.

Although in front of the 10,000-ton giant ship, this so-called sea giant is just like that, and can only be regarded as average. However, the 10,000-ton giant ship feels like a dead thing, just a dead thing made of steel. This

A ship makes people feel strangely alive.

If you stare at it for a long time, you will even have the illusion that it is breathing!

Just docking quietly in the port and floating on the sea gives people a feeling of "dominating life and death, ruling the seven seas". It seems that the boundless and turbulent ocean will bow down in front of it, docile and submissive!

At the same time, the resources and information collected by the pirates were summarized and sent to Lucifer.

Lucifer summarized the information now obtained.

It seems that because of fear of Lucifer, the wizard captain, the fact that he became the pirate king of the Atlantic has not been spread until now.

Although his pirates are now more active in the Atlantic Ocean and the British Isles, they have not yet attracted the attention of Great Britain and the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Then there is the news about Yin Asong. Sure enough, this world still exists, and the Argo also exists. It is said that it is full of wizards and monsters, looking for a treasure called the "Ark of the Covenant".

"The Ark of the Covenant? Is it the Ark of the Covenant we know?"

Matthew immediately exclaimed, and Black Jeanne also clicked her tongue. After all, they both knew what the Ark of the Covenant was.

Scathach, Enkidu, and Medusa had different mythological systems, so it took a while to find the relevant information about the Ark of the Covenant from their memories.

"The box used by the ancient Israelite prophet Moses to seal the tablets of the Ten Commandments given by God."

"From a certain perspective, it can be compared to the Holy Grail. It is a legend that cannot be opened like Pandora's Box in Greece. It is said that whoever opens the Ark of the Covenant will be punished."

"That is something that is enough to destroy the world, and may make the world barren of even a single blade of grass!"

Matthew said in a panic.

"Both the Ark of the Covenant and the True Holy Grail, which represent divine punishment, have appeared. This unique point is really..."

Black Joan laughed. It was really interesting. I really wanted to see whether the world would really be destroyed if the Ark of the Covenant was destroyed or opened.

If that guy from Joan of Arc were here, he would definitely be very anxious, right?

"Miss Black Jeanne, that is not a punishment from God, it is an agreement between God and the Israelites..."

Matthew corrected.

"But others will die if they touch it, and others will be killed if they are opened. Isn't this divine punishment?"
