The light boat successfully set sail under the gaze of everyone, and Elena carefully steered the rudder and slowly sailed towards the center of the river.

"Elena, adjust the course, it's time to speed up!"

"Okay!"

With the hull in the middle of the river, Elena flicked the wrench again, and the speed increased steadily.

"Be careful, Alice. ”

The people on the shore were a little nervous, not because of the boat, but because Alice and Elena were not professional boatmen, let alone swimming. Leah's original suggestion was to teach the method to others and let some boatmen and sailors handle it.

However, Alice insisted on experimenting herself, believing that she could better find and solve problems.

The Blackstone accelerated steadily, Alice's face was full of excitement, she gestured towards the shore, flicked the wrench again, and increased to three speeds, the stern propeller spun rapidly, and the white waves rolled.

"Amazing installation. ”

Looking at the boat with a white wake trail on the river, Lia's face was full of admiration, she lived by the sea, she was familiar with boats, and she had also consulted Carrick about ships, navigation, oceans, etc., and knew very well the importance of power.

The speed of the sailboat is also highly dependent on the force and direction of the wind, which requires a lot of experience on the part of both the captain and the sailor. Barges and flat-bottomed boats on inland rivers rely more on paddling, which is too wasteful of manpower and difficult to sustain their speed.

The emergence of the crystal power device has completely solved the power problem, and it is no longer restricted by wind and manpower, and everything is controlled by people. Theoretically, as long as the energy in the crystal is sufficient, it is possible to achieve long-term stable sailing.

The other is speed, and when added to three speeds, the Blackstone's speed far exceeds that of a well-trained pulp ship.

"yes. Veronica smiled as she was involved in the design of the ship from design to launch, and even many of the key components were designed in collaboration with Alice.

During this period, the experience and advice of two old shipwrights, who had been craftsmen in the shipyards of the Duchy of Vendôme, were also consulted for advice and advice.

The inconspicuous-looking Blackstone is full of drawings alone. Veronica's unique talent for drawing is on full display, and she doesn't even need a compass to draw a perfect circle.

Even Qin Song's face was full of surprise when he saw the design drawings, the drawings with detailed parameters were really like they were printed. Veronica is simply a drawing expert with her own CAD, and she works perfectly with Alice.

"It doesn't rely on the wind, it doesn't rely on manpower. Veronica continued: "It turns out that Alice was right and could be presented perfectly. And I believe that we can drive small boats, but we can also drive big boats. ”

"Wow, look, so fast!"

Luna suddenly screamed, and saw that on the river not far away, the bow of the Blackstone was slightly cocked, and the speed was faster and faster, and the cleaved white waves rolled backwards.

The Blackstone, which is in a six-speed state, already has the momentum to ride the wind and waves. Standing at the bow of the ship, holding the rudder steadily, Elena's long hair is flying, and the mist raised by the bow of the ship is sprinkled on her face, which is cool and pleasant, and her heart has become extremely open-minded.

"Success, success!" Alice leaned on the side of the boat, looking at the waves rising at the stern and the long trailing trail, her delicate little face full of excitement.

"Elena, do you want to hurry up!"

"I think so!"

"Then stand firm!"

This time, Alice pushed the last wrench directly into third gear at once. The Blackstone paused for a moment, its bow jerking, and its speed skyrocketed.

If it hadn't been for Elena's steady grip, she would have almost been lifted to the deck.

Fortunately, the boat was generally stable, and there was no backflip on the river, but because the speed was so fast, it was almost catching up with the speedboat in the previous life, and the shortcomings of no handling experience were exposed.

Elena was just a simple turn, but because it was too fast, the amplitude of the turn was directly amplified. When she came to her senses, she busied herself with correction and turned the rudder in the opposite direction again, and the whole ship made a sharp turn almost instantaneously because of the amplitude.

In the violent jolt, Alice is thrown aside and loses control of the wrench.

Then, the whole ship went out of control and began to sail irregularly on the river.

"Oops, it's dangerous!"

Everyone on the shore noticed the Blackstone's loss of control, but because the Blackstone was sailing a little far, a group of people could only chase it along the riverbank.

Alice was now fully aware of the terrifying speed of the Blackstone, unable to maintain her balance during the violent turbulence, and Elena had almost lost control of the rudder.

Eventually, the danger happened.

The Blackstone, which lost control, drifted with a gorgeous tail flick, and rushed towards the shore with its bow raised high. Under the horrified gaze of Elena and Alice, the Blackstone rushed onto the river bank and flew up.

"Ah~~~"

Elena and Alice were turned upside down at the same time.

When Leah and the others found the Blackstone, Alice and Elena were sitting on the grass, one rubbing their shoulders and the other their butts, both with tears in their eyes.

Not far from them, the Blackstone's bottom was facing the sky, a large hole had been broken, the rudder blades were broken, and the propellers were still humming.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing that the two of them were fine, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Leah rushed forward and anxiously grabbed Alice's shoulders: "Alice, what's going on? Are you two okay?"

"We're both fine, but the Blackstone ......"

Alice's face was hot, and she had a very successful debut, but because of her and Elena's overexcited actions, she was completely screwed up.

"Lia, it's all my fault. Elena bowed her head like a child who had done something wrong, her eyes full of tears: "It's because I didn't control the rudder and didn't care about Liz." ”

"What!" Alice shook her head suddenly, "Elena, I don't blame you, I blame me." I didn't expect it to be so fast, and it would be difficult for anyone to control it. ”

"Alright, alright, you two don't fight. No one is wrong. Liya waved her hand: "When new things appear, there will always be new problems, and it is normal for everyone to be unprepared." For example, when I was studying, I also fell a lot, as long as you two are okay, it will be a success. ”

Veronica, who was observing the Blackstone, looked at the rotating propellers, muttered for a while and turned her head: "Alice, I guess you didn't have time to slow down after you increased to the top speed, for some reason. Coupled with the fact that the speed is too fast, the amplitude of the turn is difficult to control, which leads to the eventual loss of control. ”

"Yes. Alice nodded, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and her face was full of chagrin: "It's bad, it seems that I really blame me." I was trying to move the wrench back by hand, but I forgot that I could control the wrench in the air. Oh my God, what an idiot...... Ah, why am I so stupid!"

"Alright. Liya couldn't help but laugh: "Now that the cause has been found, there is nothing to be upset about." But there's one thing I have to say to you - you've been too risky, too uncool, too irrational. It's okay if the boat breaks down, but if something happens to the two of you, that's the biggest loss. ”

"Got it. Alice stuck out her tongue and looked at the tragic Blackstone: "Except for the speed, the rest should be said to be successful." ”

In a sense, the first voyage was actually a success. The accident happened entirely because Alice underestimated the strength of the crystal engine.

Push up three gears at once - it's almost up to speed.

Coupled with a female driver with no driving experience, it is strange that there are no accidents.

"Phew, fortunately Qin is not here. Luna leaned over with a grin, squeezing her eyebrows, "Otherwise, I guess your faces will be green when I see the two of you walking in snakeskin on the surface of the river, and soaring into the sky." ”

With a poof, Alice couldn't help but laugh out loud.
