After the mine was mined, Nalant left two people to guard it and sent another person to inform Mario.
He took the remaining people towards the seaside.
The past few days had been very busy, and Narant had no time to go to the beach to check. Today, he just happened to go to see the repaired ship and the training of the crew.
"Sir, you are here!"
Kenbi Cowdung saw Narante from afar, his eyes lit up and he ran up to greet him enthusiastically.
"Well, Kenby Cowdung, how are the new serfs these days? Are they still used to life in the Storm Territory?"
"Sir, that must be customary. With a kind lord like you, not only can they be fed, but they can also be paid for their work. I don't know how happy these new serfs are!" Kenbi Cowdung said flatteringly.
.
"very good!"
"Sir, did you come here today to inspect the ship?"
"Yes!"
"Sir, the little one will guide you!"
With that said, Kenbi Cowdung diligently led the way for Bai Long.
Soon, Narante came to the beach.
"Move quickly and raise the sail immediately!" From a distance, Narant heard the shouts coming from the front.
I saw Jack and eight crew members practicing raising the sail. Following his supervision, several crew members quickly pulled the hemp rope. The white sail on the mast slowly rose under the pull of the crew. In a moment, the big sail on the mast was lifted.
It unfolded completely.
Nalant nodded. Although he knew nothing about sailing a ship, at least the crew members were relatively agile in their movements.
"Jack, the Lord is here!"
Arriving below the ship, Kenbi Cowdung immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Little Jack has met the Lord!"
Hearing the shouting, Jack, who was standing in front of the rudder at the stern of the ship, trotted off the ship.
"Get up Jack!"
Nalant waved his hand, now becoming more and more satisfied with Jack.
He has already observed the hull of the ship, and the large holes that were damaged last time are now intact.
The level of the sailors who had been taught for a few days before was also pretty good, which shows that Jack is indeed a talent in navigation.
In this world, talent is often hard to find even if you have money.
"Thank you, Lord!" Jack stood up carefully.
"Jack, I just saw that the crew members are very skilled at raising the sail. I wonder how many days it will take before we can go to sea?"
"Go back to the lord, it will be done in three days! The eight sailors you selected have studied very hard and are now able to raise and lower the sail proficiently. Next, as long as they continue to practice rotating the sail direction, they will be able to truly
Sailing on the sea!”
"Oh? Are you sure it will be fine in three days?"
"Yes, Lord Lord, I am confident that I can teach them well within three days!" Jack answered affirmatively.
It can be seen from his expression that Jack is indeed confident in sailing.
"Very good! Then when you are sure that you can go sailing, tell Kenby as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to notify me! If the voyage goes well, I will give you a big reward!"
"Yes, sir!"
After being given a three-day period, Nalant did not stay any longer and asked Jack to continue training.
"Since we are about to start sailing, we need to prepare the compass! I heard Boris said that he has one in the castle, and I will send someone to get it today!"
There is also a compass in this world, and it is not a particularly rare thing. Last time in Tulip City, Narant was about to buy it, but Boris said that there was one in his castle and told Narant not to buy it.
Because this thing requires one gold coin to purchase, and it is of no use in ordinary times.
Boris's compass was left behind because it was used by his family's caravan when they headed to the Gobi desert in the northwest.
Later, a war broke out there, and his caravan stopped going there, but the compass remained.
There was no compass when the ship Narant was picked up. Now, even if you are sailing in the near sea, you need to prepare one. After all, you are prepared.
"Besides a compass, what else is needed for navigation?" Nalant thought as he moved forward.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, a telescope! However, it seems that there is no telescope in this world yet!"
Telescopes and compasses were standard equipment for sailors in pirate movies and TV shows in previous generations. However, because there is no glass, it seems that the world has not yet invented the existence of telescopes.
However, as a time traveler, since there is no such thing, he will be the pioneer himself.
"Kenbi cow dung!" Narant immediately ordered.
"Sir, the little one is here!"
"Now go and call me the jeweler among the new serfs!"
"Yes, sir!" Kenbi Cowdung didn't dare to ask why. He immediately went to find someone after hearing the order.
"Villain Val has met the lord!"
A few minutes later, Kenbi Cowdung brought a middle-aged serf in his forties to Nalant. This middle-aged serf was wearing shabby clothes and was thin. It was obvious that his profession as a jeweler was mixed in with the serfs.
It is not popular in China.
"Val, I heard that you used to be a jewelry maker?"
"Yes, Lord, I used to help make all kinds of jewelry in a jewelry store in Black Iron City. I have been doing this for twenty-five years!"
"Twenty-five years? Very good, Val, follow me to the castle now. I have something to tell you!"
"Yes, Lord!" Val naturally did not dare to have any objections, and was taken directly to the castle by Nalant.
Outside the castle, he asked his bodyguard to take Val to wash up in the stream, while Nalant went directly to the third floor of the inner castle.
Needless to say, the principle of a telescope is very simple. It uses two lenses, the objective lens and the eyepiece, to magnify distant objects.
If Nalant wanted to make a telescope before today, he would have to send someone to Tulip City to purchase materials. Because there is no glass in this world, the only thing that can be used as a lens is ultra-high-quality crystal.
Fortunately, just before, Nalant's yellow elf opened a high-quality crystal mine for him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There are no impurities in this high-quality crystal, which fully meets the requirements for making a telescope.
Narant directly picked up the pen and paper and started drawing and drafting.
What he planned to make was the simplest monocular telescope.
The iron case of the telescope needs to be made by blacksmith John, and the lens of this telescope is naturally made by the Val jeweler.
Although this jeweler may not be as good as the masters in the sapphire treasure shop, with twenty-five years of experience, there is absolutely no problem in grinding and cutting gemstones.
When Nalant finished drawing the drawing, the Var jeweler had washed himself in the creek and put on a brand new linen blouse given by the castle.
"I've met the lord! Thank you lord for the clothes!" Val was a little excited when he came to the castle hall and saw Nalant.
His shabby linen clothes had been worn for two years, and today he finally put on a new one.
"Get up! Val, I have a few pieces of white crystal here. I want you to help me polish them into a specific shape. Finally, I want the surface of the crystal to be as smooth as the sea water. Can you do it?"
"Sir, the little one can do it. When the little one was in the jewelry store, what he made the most was crystal stones!" The jewelry store where Val worked was for the wealthy businessmen and civilians, so they mostly used crystal and copper materials as jewelry.
, after all, gold and gems can only be consumed by nobles.
Narant entrusted this matter to him, which was really a worthy task.
"Very good, then I'll leave this matter to you! If you do it well, you can work as a jeweler again in the future, and I will open a small workshop for you!" Nalant nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you Lord, I will definitely do my best!" Val responded excitedly.
