The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

After the sound of Dangdang bell awakened the sleepy Yan Donglai, he looked at the schedule on the table and knew that it would be his turn to work soon, so he arranged his clothes and left his room and went up to the open deck.

Seeing the female officer Chen Yuxue and Captain Kostit with him, "I'm taking over!" Yan Donglai said briskly. The captain and the female officer nodded, and the last shift was a female officer's shift. She completed the handover procedure with him.

When Yan Dong came to work, he raised his head and observed the stringers in a circle: they have turned to the smallest angle that the mainmast and foremast can drive, but they are still not ideal enough, so he plans to take the sailor to the outside of the ship. Adjust those knots on the waist plate, which may reduce the angle a little more.

"Sergeant Wang!" He said: "Please deflect to the downwind and raise the main sail. The direction is south-southwest."

"Yes, sir, shrink two sets of sails? (Reduce the wind-receiving area Sergeant Wang asked.

"No, no reefing." Yan Donglai laughed, and the order came out one by one. The sound of comfy footsteps continued, and the sailor's command sounded. He watched the ship's actions with a critical eye and patiently corrected the sailor. Actions.

Those sailors take the old and bring the new. In order to ensure the safety of the new ship, there must be many veterans, but there are also many novices.

"Southeast Asia O" turned downwind smoothly, and Yan Donglai said loudly from the podium: "Set it!"

The helmsman tried to stabilize the rudder, and when the battleship was turning, the mainsail was exposed by the wind. It bulged for a while, then shuddered again. After tossing for a long time, the sails unfolded towards the stern direction, and the battleship moved further, and when Yan Donglai shouted "Stop", its speed had increased to at least three knots.

The sail caught the wind, and the mainsail was pulled as tight as a drum. The bow of the battleship plunged into the sea, and the stern was raised high. This was not good, and the sails had to be adjusted to make the bow smooth to increase the degree.

Therefore, the operation during the sailing period is cumbersome enough, no wind will work, and no wind will work, it will always be a toss!

Yan Donglai added a person to the steering wheel to prevent a sudden turn of the rudder when the sail was downwind, and the ship would be exposed to the wind horizontally. That would be a joke.

The steering wheel and the big rudder are rigidly linked, and the power is fed back. Sometimes a person can't control the steering wheel, and the steering wheel drags people around!

He glanced at the female officer Chen Yuxue. He knew that this girl often controlled the rudder by herself, and she could actually control the steering wheel, which was powerful enough.

"Teach the sail workers!" Yan Donglai ordered.

Soon the sail repairer came and listened to him: "Sergeant Xu, can you add another layer of cloth to this sail, or add a triangle scarf to each corner (to increase the wind-receiving area)."

"No, sir!" The sail repairer said with certainty: "No, even if other things are possible, this one is not possible, that stringer won't work, sir, you see how bulging the belly of the sail is stronger than the inflating of pig urine! "

Yan Donglai did not insist, waved his hand to let the sail repairer leave.

He walked to the guardrail of the battleship and watched the sea rushing away. The seawater on the leeward side of the ship hit the ship's gang and rolled up, forming a long silver belt.

Regardless of the size of the battleship, and the speed is not slow at all, Yan Donglai is very satisfied.

He turned around, stepped on the deck, made a thump, looked at the main mast of the sail, and carefully observed the sail that was affected by the wind. The wind gradually increased, and the sail began to adjust the direction of the wind, and the sail was dragged by the wind. The mast and the sails were under force, and Yan Donglai seemed to hear the groan of the mast.

Yan Donglai stood under the mainmast with his hands on his back, his eyes fixed on the stringer.

The captain, official Hong Xi, Chen Yuxue and the young officers all stayed on the open deck solemnly. Everyone looked at Yan Donglai's command and looked at the sails.

They are now downwind, keeping the direction of the wind in the same direction, so all the riggings are quiet, and the sea is not very windy. The "Southeast Asia O" bumps up and down quietly, and gently slides across the water.

"Thisisagdbb! (BB ship, battleship, NAI Yan Changwu's remarks The captain did not hesitate to praise.

"Good ship!" everyone said one after another, happy for being able to serve on such a big ship.

"The wind is increasing, sir." Sergeant Wang asked when seeing the eye-catching red ribbon on the mast float up, "Should I put the mainsail away, or the bow girder?"

Before Yan Dong came to make a decision, everyone heard the ominous crackling sound of the wind blowing, and Yan Donglai yelled anxiously: "Control the slings, put the slings, and lower the sails. Act fast, hurry. ,fast!"

The sea is always so unpredictable. A while ago it was calm and the waves were calm, and the next moment the wind suddenly increased, blowing like a beast, blowing the huge battleships around, up and down like a piece of paper on the sea!

The sailors moved fast enough. They were all veterans. They jumped up and down as instructed by the officers. Hundreds of people worked together, but the wind was faster. The sail on the right was torn off by the wind and fell to the deck. , The sails were unloaded, the trusses became polished poles, and everything on the poles hung up.

"The sails are broken at the girders, sir!" The carpenter said sadly. This day is his good day. "I can try to reinforce it with splice plates, but it's no longer symmetrical, horrible,"

Yan Donglai nodded blankly, walked to the side of the guardrail, stepped on one foot, climbed up the rope ladder, and then he opened the binoculars to observe. When the battleship was pushed up the Valley of the Waves, you could see the seaside lighthouse of Rising Sun City. It was located at three compass points at right angles to the starboard side, which looked like a big sesame.

"Three compass points on the starboard side!" Yan Donglai ordered.

Although he had a minor accident ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, no one accused him, because in the battleship's voyage, there are always problems of various sizes and problems. It is a small matter to drop the roots of the sails. It can be repaired by itself, and there is no personnel. The casualties were too small to be too small. As the sailing the day before yesterday, it was under the command of the captain. The wind and waves were very strong. The sea seeped in from many places. Water accumulated in the cabin quickly. The crew was busy pumping water at night. No rest!

However, Yan Donglai still wrote it in the logbook truthfully. In the logbook, nothing is safe. Anything, no matter how big or small, must be registered.

Almost at the end of Yan Donglai’s schedule, the "Southeast Asia O" entered the channel of the Rising Sun City Naval Fleet's garrison area. The crew was crowded on the open deck, ready to mooring rigging, and talking excitedly. , And on the military pier, you can see many people waiting. They are all the crew’s family members. The "Southeast Asia O" has been sailing for a full month. The navy members who are home in Rising Sun City look forward to it. For them to return!

The big ship hugged and drew to the shore slowly after the four oar-scraping tugs called forward. The crew stood on the **** in a group, and there were cheers from the people on the shore!
