Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 300 Is there really such a big ship?

In fact, Zhang Jingyi had no idea how to fish. He didn't even have the basic common sense. He didn't know where to cast the net, from which direction to cast the net, or how to find schools of fish and shrimps. He was completely in the dark and didn't understand anything.

Fortunately, the 12 elves on the ship understood!

Their elf village has been built here for hundreds of years. All the elves are very familiar with the sea. They have a full understanding and knowledge of ocean currents, fish schools, etc. Moreover, they have used ordinary fishing nets before.

Coupled with excellent intelligence and insight, which brings a strong ability to draw inferences from one instance, smart people can figure out anything new faster than stupid people.

The elves know everything on the ship at a glance.

In this situation, Zhang Jingyi can only play the role of "teaching them how to use machines".

After teaching how to use the mechanical and electronic equipment on board, Zhang Jingyi became the mascot.

A dragon eagle archer girl shouted loudly: "Over there, the fish are over there."

"Get ready to cast the net."

"Click this button to lower the net?"

"Wow, the net on this boat is amazing, much bigger than the ones we cast with our hands."

"Well, after it lets out the net, it continues to sail forward and pulls the net apart... No wonder it's called a trawler or a net-pulling boat..."

"Sisters, let's catch all the fish in one net."

"Use magic to seal the left side of the fish school..."

"Use magic to seal the right side of the fish school..."

"The net here is not set properly. Hey, someone turn into a seal and go under the water to adjust the posture of the fishing net."

Zhang Jingyi took a look and said: Damn, these elves can not only make good use of the trawler, but also cooperate with magic. They can also turn into seals and go underwater to adjust the fishing nets. They are more powerful than the sailors in our world. The efficiency of the trawler is even higher.

Now that the net has been cast, it’s time to get ready to pull it in.

The Dragon Eagle Archer's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Zhang Jingyi and the other eleven elves and said, "Huh? A large merchant ship has arrived to our north."

Zhang Jingyi: "Big ship?"

The Dragon Eagle Archer smiled shyly: "Oh, no, compared to Mr. Zhang's ship, that ship can't be called a big ship. It is a 30-meter-class ship, the main merchant ship of the Desert Kingdom."

Zhang Jingyi: "Only one?"

The Dragon Eagle Archer nodded. "Yes, there is only one ship, and it is flying a Saint George trade flag."

Zhang Jingyi: "St. George's Trade Flag? What is that?"

The Dragon Eagle Archer smiled and said, "A thousand years ago, when the members of the Brave Team were still alive, the kings of all countries were as close as a family. They jointly launched the Saint George Trade Flag. As long as this flag is raised, it means 'I am not here to fight, but to negotiate business'. No country will rashly attack ships and caravans with this flag raised. Of course, we have been living in seclusion in the forest for hundreds of years, and we don't know whether the humans outside still abide by this rule."

Zhang Jingyi: "I see. It seems they are not here to fight, but to negotiate business to redeem their prisoners of war. Ignore them and continue to close our net."

The elves smiled: "Okay."
-
The large merchant ship of the Desert Kingdom is slowly sailing towards the Elf Village.

A few days ago, the defeated navy fled back to Huangsha Port and brought back the news of the "expeditionary fleet's disastrous defeat."

Ten main battleships and two light sailing ships went out to attack a small elf village, but only five battleships and two sailing ships returned, and all the army on board were captured. Commander-in-chief Akadula also failed to return, and only the letter he wrote for help returned.

This incident caused a huge shock among the top leaders of the Desert Kingdom!

Many people were frightened and had to re-examine the diplomatic issues with the Magic Kingdom.

The high-ranking officials of the Desert Kingdom sent people to Huangsha Pass to renegotiate with the Black-hearted Master. On the other hand, they sent a large merchant ship carrying a large amount of gold and silver to the Elf Village to redeem their nobles.

The person in charge of this ransom operation was not an official, but a businessman.

His name is Atayi, which means "gift" in the language of the desert kingdom.

At this time, Atayi was standing on the deck of a large merchant ship, looking towards the south.

An officer from the Desert Kingdom, disguised as Atayi's follower, stood beside him. This officer was the one who fled back last time and this was his second time here. He lowered his voice and said, "This place is very close to the sea area of ​​the Elf Village."

Atayi nodded and said in a low voice: "Wrap your headscarf tightly and don't let the elves recognize you. If they find out that there are soldiers on my ship, they might question our motives, and that would be very troublesome."

The officer whispered, "I understand."

Atayi looked at the officer deeply and said, "You said that in the last battle, the elves deployed four giant ships of about 4 meters. How is that possible? I have traveled all over the world for business, whether it is Rhodes, the country of knights, Fran, the kingdom of magic, or even the distant Tang Dynasty. I have never seen a 50-meter-class ship in the world... Not even one! How can the elves build such a large ship, and build four at a time."

Officer: "I don't know how they are qualified, but the fact is that there are four such ships, and each of them has 10 magic cannons."

Atayi nodded to show that he understood.

But I was thinking in my heart: None of the king and the great nobles believed what you said. They suspected that you lied about military intelligence in order to cover up your failure, so they sent me to come and see. If there is no such ship, you will have no excuse for your failure, and you will suffer the consequences when you return home.

Just as he thought of this, the lookout on the mast shouted, "Ship! There is a huge ship in the middle of the sea ahead, nearly 50 meters long, and the entire ship is made of metal. My God! A big iron ship."

Atayi: "What?"

He doubted his ears. How could a 50-meter-long iron ship float on the water? Wouldn't it sink?
I was about to scold the lookout for talking nonsense, but...

Soon, the big iron ship came into his sight!
so big!

Atayi has been doing business at sea for many years. Even from a long distance, he can tell the length of a ship at a glance. The ship is about 45 meters long, which is simply a huge vessel.

Moreover, it is really all iron!

Its metallic texture can be seen with the naked eye.

Atayi: "Oh my god! There really is such a big iron ship."

"The ship is full of elves," the officer whispered, "It's that group of elves, but we didn't see this ship the last time we came to fight... This is their fifth giant ship."

Atayi's face darkened: "Another fifth ship?"

The officer whispered, "Huh? They seem to be closing in their net."

As the two ships got closer, Atayi saw that the giant ship was actually collecting the net. There were some strange winches and machines on it that were rotating, pulling the net ropes up from the sea.

“It’s actually a fishing boat!”
