A certain scientific pirate

Chapter 80 Too lazy to care

In the age of sails, the length-to-width ratio of ordinary sailboats was often between 4 and 5, so that they looked a bit "round". But the navy surveillance ship in front of Mo Fei was different. Its aspect ratio was around 7, and it looked very slender.

The three masts are exceptionally tall, and the total sail area is estimated to be between 9,000 and 12,000 square meters.

This type of ship looks like a high-speed sailboat at first glance.

The only problem is in terms of firepower. This surveillance ship has a three-gun turret on the bow and four artillery pieces on the sides. This means that it can only invest a maximum of 7 artillery pieces in an artillery battle. Compared with the main force of the navy, The caliber of the artillery on the battleship and the artillery on the surveillance ship are "small water pipes".

Mo Fei wanted something hard, long and thick.

But this is normal. The main purpose of the surveillance ship is not frontal combat. The slender ship shape, high mast and wide sail area, weight reduction, etc. are all designed to run faster. If you fill this kind of ship with artillery, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

After waiting for a while on the shore of the port, Avril also arrived. She was carrying a suitcase in her hand and a very large flat weapon case on her back, which should contain her weapons... Obviously, Avril also considered the possibility that the mission would become a long-term mission. .

What surprised Mo Fei was that when Avril came to him, she first put down the suitcase in her hand, and then saluted him with a military salute.

Well, this change made Mo Fei realize that the place she was going to next was different from the school.

He returned the military salute and then said, "Warrant Officer Avril, come aboard."

With that said, he took the first step to help lift Avril's luggage, and then walked towards the warship. In terms of positions, Mo Fei is the temporary captain this time, and Avril is the temporary first mate, but their military ranks are equal.

There were people on the warship waiting for them, so after seeing them approaching, they immediately lowered the gangway.

Mo Fei and the two boarded the warship, and the two sailors immediately put their feet together and straightened their bodies to salute them, "Warrant Officer Ailidel, Warrant Officer Afriel."

After saluting, the two sailors took the luggage from Mo Fei's hand with great discernment.

"Have the mission instructions been received on the ship? We need to set sail immediately."

Mo Fei asked the sea soldier, while Avril stood quietly behind him.

"Yes, Warrant Officer Erindel, the warship is ready to depart at any time."

The arrival of the commander naturally alarmed everyone on the warship. However, after Mo Fei stood by the side of the ship for a while, she still didn't see the person who was supposed to appear.

"Where is Chief Lasu Cao?"

Captain Rasu Cao, the second mate and boatswain of this ship, after Mo Fei and Avril arrived, in theory, even if the other party did not show up at the first time, he should rush over at the second time.

"Chang Cao...will be here soon."

The speaker winked at the other sailor, who quickly left and rushed into the cabin.

This situation made Mo Fei frown a little... Unless Chief Cao was deaf, there was no way he wouldn't be able to hear what was going on outside.

After a while, Commander Lasu Cao walked out unhurriedly, and Shi Shiran gave Mo Fei a military salute.

This seems to be more than just a matter of "impoliteness".

"Warrant Officer Erindel, welcome..."

"Captain Lasu, prepare to sail. I think we have received orders here. Next, we are going to the 558-3 sea area."

Mo Fei interrupted the other party's nonsense without hesitation.

"……yes."

Captain Lasu Cao responded, then went to convey the order and direct the sailors to raise the sails and set sail.

Airborne commanders like Mo Fei and Avril do not have the ability to control lower-level soldiers for the time being, so the role of Rasu is very important.

"Warrant Officer Ailidel, Warrant Officer Afriel, please come with me."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the sailor took Mo Fei and the two of them into the cabin first.

The room where the commander rested was naturally different from that of ordinary sailors. It could barely be regarded as a room with a bathroom. Mo Fei put down her luggage in her room and went straight to the command room.

After a while, the surveillance ship slowly left Marinevando.

Although Mo Fei's academic performance in the naval school was average, he still learned basic knowledge, including navigation methods, ship control, speed estimation, etc.

So three hours later, when Mo Fei walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to observe the situation, he immediately discovered something was wrong, and then he called Chief Lasu Cao to his side.

"Captain Lasu Cao, there is a problem with the angle of attack of the sail. The sail surface is not full of wind, and our speed is insufficient... In this case, this ship will not be able to reach the mission sea area tomorrow."

"Warrant Officer Erindell, you didn't know something when you first boarded the ship. There is a problem with the design of this type of surveillance ship. The sail is too high. If it is full of wind, there is a risk of capsizing... In fact, it is already Our maximum speed is reached." Lasu Cao explained with a smile.

Mo Fei nodded, "Okay, I understand... the designer who designed this ship really deserves to be shot to death."

Then he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder

Lasu's words... he really thought that Mo Fei was mentally retarded. First, the navy's surveillance ship couldn't be as fast as it is now. Second, he didn't believe that a sailboat that was full of wind could capsize so easily. It just couldn't be done. Can't we just put a few more rocks in the bilge?

Chief Lasu Cao showed an expression of "It's good if you understand", and then turned around and left without Mo Fei's permission.

However, just after he took a few steps forward, he suddenly felt something tug on his shoulders and clothes, and then he was top-heavy and plunged into the sea.

"save……"

After finally struggling to get out of the water, Rasu was about to call for help when he saw the young man standing on the side of the boat pointing a black pipe at him.

Then……

boom!

Muzzle flash filled his vision.

Mo Fei withdrew his pistol and still stared coldly at the sea. At the same time, he said to Avril behind him:

"Record, 3 hours into the voyage, Captain Lasu Cao unfortunately fell into the sea.

Later, it was besieged by sharks. Although the ship tried its best to kill the sharks, the trace of Captain Rasu Cao still disappeared into the waves. The ship was not allowed to dock due to its important mission. We hope that the headquarters can send follow-up rescue ships. "

Mo Fei didn't bother to worry about what reasons and tricks this Chief Cao was using. He only knew that the next person he had to face was the Four Emperors.

Why is it such a strange thing to say that "the lower class overcomes the superior force" in the army? Because if "upper" wants to deal with "lower", it is not "counter" at all.

Since the middle command layer on the ship is unwilling to play a role or even obstructs it, then the way to deal with this kind of thing is very simple... just remove this middle layer.
