Chapter 263： telescope

After the mine was opened, Narant left two guards behind, and another person was sent to inform Mario.

He took the rest of the people towards the sea.

A few days ago, it was quite busy, and Narant didn't have time to go to the beach to check it out. Today, I just went to see the repaired ship and the training of the crew.

"Sir, you are here!"

From a distance, Kenby Cow Dung saw Narant, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he ran up to greet him attentively.

"Well, Kenby Cow Dung, how are the new serfs these days, are they still used to the life of Storm Collar?"

"Sir, that must be a habit. With a kind lord like you, not only will they be fed, but they will also get paid for their work. How happy these new serfs are!" Kenby cow dung flattered.

"very good!"

"Sir, are you here today to check out the ships?"

"yes!"

"Sir, that little one will guide you!"

Saying that, Kenby Cow Dung diligently led the way for Bailong in front of him.

Soon, Narant came to the beach.

"Move quickly, raise the sails immediately!" Narant heard the shouting from the front from a distance.

I saw Jack and eight crew members were practicing sail raising. Following his urging, several crew members quickly pulled the hemp rope, and the white big sail on the mast was slowly raised by the crew. After a while, the big sail on the mast rose. fully expanded.

Nalanda nodded, although he knew nothing about sailing, but at least the crew members were more agile.

"Jack, the lord is here!"

When he came to the bottom of the sea boat, Kenby Cow Dung immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

"Little Jack has seen Lord Lord!"

Hearing the shouting, Jack, who was standing in front of the rudder at the stern, trotted off the ship.

"Get up Jack!"

Narant waved his hand, and at this time he became more and more satisfied with this Jack.

He has observed the shell of the sea-going ship, and the large holes that were broken last time are intact.

And the level of the seamen who had been taught for a few days was not bad, which showed that Jack was indeed a sailor.

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 quite proficient in raising the sails. I don't know how many days it will take to 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 now they are proficient in raising and lowering sails. Next, as long as they continue to practice the direction of the sails, they will be able to truly sail. Sailing at sea!"

"Oh? Are you sure you can do it in three days?"

"Yes, Lord Lord, the little one is confident to teach them well within three days!" Jack answered affirmatively.

It can be seen from the expression that this Jack really has full confidence in sailing.

"Very good! Then when you are sure that you can sail to the sea, tell Kempi as soon as possible and let him send someone to inform me! If this voyage goes well, I will have a great reward!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After getting the three-day deadline, Narant didn't stay any longer and let Jack continue to start training.

"Since the voyage is going to start, the compass needs to be prepared! I heard Boris say that he has one in the castle, and send someone to get it today!"

There is also a compass in this world. It's not a special thing. Last time I was going to buy it in Narant, the city of tulips, but Boris said that he had one in the castle and told Narant not to buy it.

Because this thing needs a gold coin to buy, and it is useless to use it normally.

The compass used by Boris was left over when his caravan went to the Gobi desert in the northwest.

Later, there was a war over there, and his caravan stopped going, but the compass remained.

Narant didn't have a compass when he picked it up, and now he has to prepare one even if he is sailing offshore. After all, he is prepared.

"Besides a compass, what else do you need for sailing?" Narant thought as he walked forward.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "By the way, a telescope! However, it seems that there is no telescope in this world!"

Telescopes and compasses are standard for sailors in pirate movies and TV dramas in previous lives. However, because there is no glass, it seems that the existence of telescopes has not yet been invented in this world.

However, as a transmigrator, since there is no one, he will be the creator himself.

"Kenby cow dung!" Narant immediately ordered.

"Sir, the little one is here!"

"Go and call me the jeweler among the new serfs now!"

"Yes, my lord!" Kenby Cow Dung didn't dare to ask the reason, and immediately went to find someone when he heard the order.

"The villain Val has seen the Lord Lord!"

A few minutes later, Kenby Cow Dung brought a middle-aged serf in his forties to Narant. The middle-aged serf was shabby and thin. It was obvious that his career as a jeweler was mixed in with the serfs. It's not delicious.

"Val, I heard you used to be a jeweler?"

"Yes, Lord Lord, Xiao used to help make all kinds of jewelry in a jewelry store in Hei Tie City for twenty-five years!"

"Twenty-five years? Very well, Val, you follow me to the castle now, I have something to tell you!"

"Yes, Lord Lord!" This Vaal naturally did not dare to have an opinion, and was taken directly to the castle by Narant.

Outside the castle, let the guards take Val to wash in the creek, while Narant went directly to the third floor of the inner castle.

Needless to say, the principle of the telescope is also very simple. It uses two lenses, the objective lens and the eyepiece, to zoom in and zoom in on the distant scene.

If Narant wanted to make a telescope before today, he would have to send someone to the Tulip City to purchase materials specially, because there is no glass in this world, so only ultra-high-quality crystals can be used as lenses.

Fortunately, the yellow elf of Narant gave him a high-quality crystal mine.

There are no impurities in this high-quality crystal, and it has fully met the requirements for making telescopes.

Narant directly picked up the pen and paper and began to draw and draft the plan.

What he was going to make was the simplest monocular.

The iron shell of the telescope needs to be made by John Blacksmith, and the lens of this telescope is naturally made by the Val jeweler.

Although this jeweler is probably not as good as the masters in the sapphire treasure shop, but with twenty-five years of experience, grinding and cutting gemstones is absolutely no problem.

When Narant finished drawing, the Val jeweler had washed up in the creek and put on a new linen blouse from the castle.

"I have seen Lord Lord! Thank Lord Lord for the gift of clothes!" Val was a little excited when he came to the castle hall and saw Narant.

His worn linen clothes had been worn for two years, and today he finally got a new one.

"Get up! Val, I have a few pieces of white crystal here. I want you to help me polish it into a specific shape, and at the end, the surface of the crystal is required to be as smooth as sea water. Can you do it?"

"Adults, small ones can do it. When the small ones were in the jewelry store, the most they made were crystal stones!" The jewelry store where Val worked at the beginning was for the wealthy businessmen and the common people, so crystal and copper materials were mostly used as jewelry. , after all, gold and precious stones were only consumed by nobles.

Narant entrusted this matter to him, but it was really the right task.

"Very good, then this matter will be handed over to you! If you do it well, you will be able to become a jeweler again in the future, and I will open a small workshop for you!" Narant nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Xie, the little one must do his best!" Val responded excitedly.
