The three senior crew members are just clones of the ontology, and do not have any memory except the common sense and ability given to them by the system.

Everything has gains and losses, but without memory, they have the blessing of skills they originally did not have.

The skills of Barnabas and Kegan are reflected in the boat control and the commanding sailors, Herodotus is more special.

As a historian, Herodotus was given a conceptual skill - history.

He was able to check all the history of Xin Sheng’s known era. Although he was not detailed enough when refining the specific aspects of certain specialties, he could provide considerable help in the transformation and design of ships.

“Ship vessels in the age of sailing ships have undergone several revolutionary changes.”

Herodotus' eyes shone with wisdom: "According to the information provided by the captain, we are in the 17th to 18th centuries, and there are still a long time before the 19th century when steam ships appeared. Sailing ships are still the mainstream of the current world."

"The most advanced warship design of this era is a sail battleship, but according to the captain's requirements, our ship must take into account both maneuver power and firepower, and the battleship design is first excluded."

"We can refer to the masts and sail designs of 18th-century warships to make subtle transformations to gain greater advantages."

Herodotus continued with knowledge of it: "In the mid-17th century, the 'Soul of Sea' designed by Peter Pete was considered a classic work in the era of sailing warships."

"Excluding those flashy decorations, the most worthy of reference for the Maritime Sovereignty Number is her sail design. For more than 200 years, the sail design drawings of the Maritime Sovereignty Number have been widely used."

Under the guidance of Herodotus, Xin Sheng combined the opinions of Barnabas and carried out a major transformation of the Adristiya.

Modernization without armed forces consumes 10,000 energy, but it only takes 3,000 to transform the hull into a sailboat.

The complicated and refined transformations have successively used up about 1,000 energy, and the brand new Adristiya has basically been formed and has become a very common Galen ship type in this era.

Benefiting from the intelligence provided by Herodotus, Adristia has excellent balance.

If you buy artillery from this era alone, it will cost thousands of energy alone.

However, the system calculated the artillery purchased by Xin Sheng for Adristya in the cost of ship transformation, which gave him a larger discount.

After the transformation was completed, the Adristiya had a total of 46 powerful 16-pound cannons in the current era.

Among them, there are 18 doors on the top deck, 20 doors in the cabin, and 4 doors each for bow and stern.

In addition, there are 4 small-caliber circumferential cannons on the sides of the hull to kill enemy sailors, and the bow is also equipped with solid impact angles.

When Xin Sheng finally installed the Medusa bow image, the design of the entire ship was officially completed.

Including the consumption of renovating the hull and purchasing artillery, the entire ship spent exactly 10,000 energy after the renovation was completed. This is the price after the system Kaixiang gave a significant discount to the artillery.

Although a sailing ship is the same price as a modern iron boat, it is because the new Adristiya is a fully armed ship, not a bare-pole steel merchant ship.

Although it was a bit painful to use 10,000 energy, Xin Sheng knew that the cost of this transformation was the consumption necessary to complete the main task across the Caribbean Sea.

After entering the night, Xin Sheng and a group of more than 20 people sneaked to the back of Naba Port, found a coast with enough draft, and showed the brand new Adristiya.

The old warships of ancient Greece cannot be compared with the double-brigged Garen sailing ship in appearance.

This high-speed warship that has just been transformed is very beautiful, with snow-white sails roaring under the breeze by the sea.

"Back the ship and set sail!"

Under the command of Barnabas and Kegan, the sailors began to become familiar with the brand new ship.

The operation of the sailing warship is similar, and the sailors with the blessing of the legendary crew quickly adapted to the new Adristyia.

"By the way, Captain."

When Barnabas was about to leave the current waters, he suddenly suggested to Xin Sheng: "This ship has been completely renewed. Should we rename it?"

Xin Sheng nodded suddenly: "That's right, she is completely different from the Adristiya... and to be honest, that name is a bit difficult to pronounce."

"Or call me..."

A flash of inspiration in Xin Sheng's mind: "Crown?"

‘Although the worldview is different, Jackdaw is also a legendary ship on the Caribbean Sea. It’s okay to call this name.’

"Is Jackdaw? A good name."

Barnabas shouted loudly to the crew: "Craves! Get up the anchor and sail!"

"oh!"

...

"Port Royal?"

After hearing the destination where Xin Sheng was heading, Herodotus touched the beard on his chin thoughtfully.

"Captain, since Port Royal still exists, we can more clearly speculate on the specific years."

"According to historical records, Port Royal in the UK encountered a devastating earthquake in 1692, and two-thirds of the urban area sank into the sea and was unavailable for a long time."

"Port Royal, which was rebuilt many years later, was renamed Kingston by the British and later became the capital of Jamaica."

Xin Sheng said clearly: "In other words, the current time is 1692 years ago? It has not yet entered the 18th century?"

"Yes."

“1692 years ago…”

Xin Sheng pondered for a moment: "Herodotus, what dynasty is there in China now? The Ming Dynasty? Or the shameful dynasty founded by Wild Boar Skin?"

"Boar skin?"

Herodotus is just artificial intelligence and cannot understand what the term Xin Sheng said gritted his teeth and said.

"1692 was the 31st year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty. The time fluctuated too much, that is to say..."

“Haha~”

A cold light flashed in Xin Sheng's eyes: "It's time for wild boar skin to firmly sit down?"

According to the information provided by Herodotus, after the Qing Dynasty pacified Taiwan in the 22nd year of Kangxi, Kangxi relaxed the civilian maritime ban that lasted for many years. It was not until more than 30 years later that the sea ban in the South China Sea again was banned because of the rampant pirates.

After leaving Naha Port, Xin Sheng raised the British flag on the ship with a tiger-skinned look, sailing northwest and entering Quanzhou Port.

While replenishing food at the port, Xin Sheng and Herodotus disembarked together to collect information.

At this time, the people of the Qing Dynasty did not even have the yin and yang heads that were common in later film and television dramas, but the even more ugly money rat tail.

This hairstyle only has a very small piece behind the head, leaving hair, tied into thin braids, and the rest are bare, making it outrageously difficult to see.

At this time, the Mandarin was the dialect of Beijing, and the difference between it and Mandarin was not too big.

Xin Sheng had some difficulty communicating with the people of Quanzhou who spoke Minnan, but at least he asked the exact time he was now from these men who were seeking life at the dock.

"The 29th year of Kangxi, that is, 1690."

The dock workers who helped Jackdaw replenish supplies were strange why the ship used gold for easy-to-preserve food, and ignored freshwater, the most important thing in sailing at sea.

But this is not what they should worry about after all. After completing the supply, the Jackdaw continued to head north into the Yellow Sea.

Speaking of Tamsui, Xin Sheng also thinks it is a very coincidental.

The freshwater purifier he got in Atlantis actually came into use so quickly.

The legendary crew members shown in the system are not robots that are not human-in-the-world, they also need to eat and drink.

With a freshwater purifier in hand, the sailors of the Jackdaw can drink the purified sea water at any time without worrying about the exhaustion of freshwater.

Without the load of fresh water storage, the Jaw's navigation speed has also been improved in disguise.

After discussion with Herodotus and Barnabas, Xin Sheng finally decided to enter America from the Bering Sea, which means that the Jackdaw needed to head north along the coastline of China and the Russians.

"Captain! Official Qing Dynasty ships flying the yellow-bottomed dragon flag were found ahead."

"There are three ships in total, two frigates and one flagship."

‘Huanglong, is it the Huangqi?’

"Ha~ It's coming just right."
