On the cold Arctic Ocean, two ships are sailing on an ocean full of ice floes.
What Xiaofeng lent to Barbossa was a Chinese sailing ship that is very common in Chinese waters. This kind of flat-bottomed ship with tilted ends is the most common and oldest ship type in China. Its history can even be traced back to the Han Dynasty, even Zheng He's voyages to the West.
The improved version of this type of ship, the Daifuku ship, is used.
However, the boat Barbossa borrowed was not a lucky boat, but a Guangzhou boat.
Because they are mostly manufactured in the coastal areas of Guangdong, they are named Guangzhou Shipyard.
The characteristics of the Guangzhou ship are long nose, small beam arch, and low deck ridge. The transverse structure of the hull is composed of tight ribs and bulkheads, and the longitudinal strength is maintained by the keel. The structure is solid and has good seaworthiness.
and battery life.
Moreover, the Guangzhou ship is made of iron wood, which is stronger than the Fu ship made of Songshan. If the Guang ship and the Fu ship collide in the sea, the Fu ship will be smashed.
Therefore, most of the pirate kings of Singapore, Sao Feng, use these sturdy and durable Guangzhou ships, while Fu ships are mostly used as merchant ships.
This is true even for the ships under the Qing Dynasty who also operate in Chinese waters. After all, although the Guangzhou ships are expensive, they are indeed more suitable for pirates.
However, although the Guangzhou ship was good, the ship that Sao Feng lent to Barbossa was not a particularly big ship. It was just a fast ship. It didn't even have a few cannons on it. It was comparable to a standard high-speed battleship like the Blood Sail.
Than, like a dwarf next to a giant.
Especially the speed increase brought by the Blood Sail's clipper bow makes the Blood Sail look like a monster.
To give the simplest example, in this era, if a sailing ship catches the monsoon to cross the Atlantic, it will take about five weeks, but for a clipper ship like the Blood Sail, the time can be compressed to thirteen days.
And this is still under the condition that the Blood Sail does not use its special ability to accelerate.
So Barbossa had to find out very depressedly that the Blood Sail hardly even opened its sails, and easily followed the borrowed Guangzhou ship, which had all its sails fully deployed.
"It's such a good ship. I wonder how fast it can go with all the sails open?" Barbossa looked at the Blood Sail sailing aside and asked Chen Mo casually.
"Fully open the sails? In that case, the Blood Sail can travel back and forth between the Caribbean and Europe within a month. I have sailed with the Black Pearl before, and the Blood Sail only needs half a sail to catch up with it." Chen Mo was very satisfied with this.
Although the Blood Sail is not a steel battleship, it is the most perfect sailing ship.
Although the Bloodsail was a battleship, the clipper ship was the fastest sailing ship design in the age of sail. Even if it was eventually replaced by steam engines, it was still the best design for large ships.
Hearing what Chen Mo said, Barbosa said unconvinced: "Black Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean!"
"The Black Pearl is indeed very fast, but she is already older than the Blood Sail, isn't she?" Chen Mo smiled at Barbossa, but asked curiously: "I heard that the Black Pearl once sank to the bottom of the sea.
Jack Sparrow made a deal with Davy Jones to get it?"
While asking, Chen Mo turned a ring on his hand, quietly affecting Barbossa's mind, allowing him to reveal more things. At the same time, he also took out a bottle of rum from his pocket and handed it to him.
Gave it to Barbossa.
"Did that boy Jack tell you? She used to be called Bad Girl, and she was a trading ship of the East India Company. Jack was the captain at that time, and I was his first mate." Barbossa told Chen Mo about the Black Pearl and the
His story, which is not in the movie: "Originally, I was a pirate in the Caspian Sea, where I became the Pirate King and got my own eight rials, but the conditions in the Caspian Sea were really poor.
, so I defected to Jack’s father, Captain Teague.”
Hearing Jack's father's name, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "The protector of the Pirate Code?"
"Yes, Captain Teague. He was a very powerful pirate. He was also one of the nine pirate kings back then, until he gave up his seat to Jack and became the protector of the code." Barbossa bit off.
He picked up the cork of the wine bottle and took a sip before continuing: "You know, Jack was also a good young man back then. He came from a good background and came from a pirate family! He was also handsome and kind-hearted.
He was deeply trusted by Beckett of the East India Company and was appointed as the captain of Bad Girl. I was entrusted by Old Teague to take care of him. After all, you can only be young once, so of course you have to enjoy it to the fullest.
But this boy had a strong sense of justice and let go of a ship of black slaves that Beckett asked him to transport. As a result, he was branded a pirate and the bad girl was burned."
Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said clearly: "So Jack was unwilling to give up his ship, so he used his soul to reach a deal with Davy Jones in exchange for Davy Jones taking the ship from
Fished it out of the sea?"
"Yes, and then it was hung with black sails and renamed the Black Pearl! That was such a good ship!" Barbossa took another sip of wine in his mouth. Every captain talks about his ship.
, will be like talking about their dearest lover.
At this time, Gibbs also heard the conversation between Chen Mo and Barbossa, and couldn't help but come over and ask for a sip of wine from Barbossa to warm his body that was almost frozen in the cold weather, and then he sighed with the same emotion.
Said: "Jack loves the Black Pearl from the bottom of his heart. If there is anything more important to Jack than the Black Pearl, it is freedom. For the Black Pearl, he is even willing to fight against Kraken."
"So he was dragged into the Devil's Prison?" Chen Mo asked Gibbs, which answered him why Jack Sparrow was not locked on the ship by Elizabeth like in the original novel and died with the Black Pearl.
But besides these, Chen Mo wanted to know one more thing. He asked Barbossa in a low voice: "Barbossa, it is rumored that you were killed by Jack Sparrow before. How did you come back to life? Anything
There is a price to pay, and what did you pay to get the chance to be resurrected?"
Barbossa did not answer Chen Mo, but cast a complicated look at Witch Tia standing on the bow of the ship.
Chen Mo followed his line of sight and looked at Witch Tia. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and used a little necromancy to observe the goddess of the sea.
However, even though his movements were secretive, Witch Tia still turned her head as if feeling something and turned her gaze towards Chen Mo.
Noticing the human body of the sea goddess staring at him, Chen Mo just smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Although Corybuso was sealed in a human body, she was still a powerful witch. Although she was not worth mentioning to Chen Mo, he did not want to conflict with the goddess of the sea at this time.
