Chapter 231: The Rescued Nabo
Ready to go out. ()
You have to get to the south as fast as you can.
However, the Lidong had to tow 3 whalebone boats forward, and the original power was definitely not enough, so Tianming made some improvements to the power system of the Lidong.
The steam chamber of the steam turbine has been enlarged to double the amount of water that can be held in it, so that more high-pressure steam can be used for work.
The radius of the blades of the two propellers under the water at the stern of the boat has been increased from O.8 meters to 1.6 meters, and the area of the blades in contact with the water has been increased by three times, which can effectively improve the thrust.
Boom! After some testing, the maximum power of the steam turbine increased by 1.2 times to 25ooo horsepower, plus the rocket engine with a maximum thrust of 27ooo horsepower, with a total power of 52,000 horsepower, towing the 15,000-ton Lidong and 3 whalebone ships with an average weight of 12,000 tons, with a total weight of 51,000 tons, and the unit power exceeded 1 horsepower/ton.
The resistance of the sea is only 1/2o of 6 places, that is, the Rikdong, and the pull generated can pull the fleet to sail at 18 knots.
In addition, each of the three whalebone boats is equipped with a 28oo horsepower diesel engine, just one diesel engine can top thousands of Blue Star people paddling sailors, and the sailors on the three whalebone boats only need to control the sails reasonably.
Of course, the underwater propeller of the diesel engine does not have a deflection device, and Tianming is also equipped with a set of mechanical rudders, which can be manipulated to achieve the effect of turning the boat.
In order to learn to use this rudder, Tianming found a few old Blue Star officers with decades of experience in manipulating ships, and just described the principle of the rudder to them, and they learned how to control the rudder like a car steering wheel, which was very handy, which made Tianming breathe a sigh of relief.
If you have a rocket engine, a steam turbine, a diesel engine, and a sail that can help you do something, you can move it at full strength. The degree of the entire fleet can reach more than 2o knots.
There is also the problem of fuel, Lidong burns hydrogen and oxygen fuel produced by decomposing water, the three whalebone ships burn diesel, diesel fuel is almost taken from the base, last time it pumped 15oo tons, the warehouse keeper of the fuel depot, saw Tianming is a bitter gourd face.
1,500 tons of diesel, plus 66 tons of 3oo tons and 18oo tons that Lan Luo continued to purchase outside, is enough for three diesel engines to be used day and night for 5o days.
As for hydro-oxygen fuel. Tianming will decompose as soon as he is free, he touched some rules, and after improving the method of splitting water, he finally reduced the consciousness consumption of making and decomposing one ton of hydrogen and oxygen fuel from O.3 to O.2 magazines, and decomposed for several days in a row, and finally stored enough 40,000 tons of hydrogen and oxygen fuel, and filled the two separated ability warehouses.
……
Another 1o days later, 45 degrees north latitude.
A fleet of 4 10,000-ton ships. One before three after that, with a voyage of 15 knots, it crossed a distance of 22 latitudes and several longitudes, and sailed 55oo kilometers. Came to a complex sea.
Piloting the aerospace plane, I flew 2oo kilometers forward, explored the way, and God knew it. Further on, there is the whirlpool sea.
The most obvious sign of the whirlpool is of course the large number of whirlpools.
The dawn dawned, and the whirlpools in the whirlpool sea area were different from those seen a long time ago. Bigger, denser, and more dangerous, even if the Lidong is sucked in, it may not be able to break free.
And the sea conditions in this sea area are complicated, the range is extremely wide, the whirlpool sea zone may be 3oo kilometers wide before, and now it has expanded to more than 18oo kilometers, during the day the sky is confident that you can go through guò, but at night, the black cloth is in the middle of winter, the boat travels in the dark, and something happens, which is almost a fatal thing.
"It's better to rest here for two days first, and let the motivation rest."
The eight rocket tail vents of the Lidong stopped roaring, the sails of the three whalebone ships fell, and the diesel engines stopped.
……
"The real challenge is coming." Tianming returned to his rest cabin with a heavy heart.
Although the waves were twenty or thirty meters high and the hull of the boat shook trembly, Tianming had adapted to this kind of boat ride a little.
The further south you go, the bigger the waves, but the wavelength of the waves is still relatively long, which makes the waves look more "flat", a bit like flat hills, although the altitude fluctuates greatly, but not as steep as the dangerous peaks, which creates an illusion: the further south you go, the more stable the boat becomes.
Even if it was an illusion, Tianming still had the feeling that he was going to vomit at any time, and when he slept at night, in order to be able to fall asleep, he put the Silver Steel Dome (sea motorcycle) in his rest cabin, or "stuck" in the rest cabin, so as not to let it roll around, and when he was resting, he slept on the steel frame bed in the Silver Steel Dome. Above.
The rolling sound of "click" resounded in the Silver Steel Dome from time to time, which was a bit noisy, but it still ensured 8 hours of sleep every day for Tianming.
"In the whirlpool sea, you must find a way to get there!"
……
Not far away, on the sea, a large hoist boat was struggling.
The watchman standing on the mast had his eyes lit up and suddenly shouted: "Big ship! ”
He hastened to report the news to the captain.
"How many ships are there, and an ark? Are you sure you read that right? ”
The burly captain asked, grabbing the thin sailor by the collar.
"Uh-huh, they're in that direction, not far from us, we can ask them for help!"
They did need to ask for help, the "Nabo" was already leaking everywhere, the plugging plates and rivets were basically gone, the ship's bilge was soaked with water, and if it was not helped, it might have sunk.
General Nabo quickly climbed up the mast, followed the direction of the lookout's finger, and observed for a while, but did not see, and when he was about to be disappointed, he suddenly saw a flag exposed, and then saw a row of masts behind him—indeed several ships.
Even though the waves blocked most of the view, General Nabo saw it several times in quick succession.
"Hurry! Blow the horn and the paddling sailors row that way! ”
Knowing that there were ships nearby, the good news got everyone on board the Naboh into action, and the trumpeters blew the conch with their maximum lung capacity, and the oarsmen rowed desperately to get closer to the boats.
Buzz~~Buzz~~Buzz~~
The trumpeter's conch blew very loudly, but it was not loud enough compared to the sound of the waves, as General Nabo saw. took the conch in the snail's hand and held his breath until his face was a little purple, "Hum~~~!! A loud, long conch sound rang out, and the sound spread for several kilometers.
"What sound?"
The lookout standing on the observation platform of the Lidong ship island, after hearing the voice, quickly appeared the gourd boat struggling on the sea, and quickly reported the news to the captain of the guard, Yin Guazi.
Silver melon seeds immediately rushed to the rest cabin where Tianming was resting, knocked on the door, and woke up Tianming, who was still resting in the Silver Steel Arena.
"The hosts. Master, there is a situation at sea, you hurry up! ”
shouted and knocked, and after a while, Tianming was finally woken up by him in his sleep.
"What's it called, I finally had a good night's sleep, and I was woken up by you again, and even my cultivation state was interrupted by you."
Tianming complained for a while, and he ordered the fleet to rest. He just wanted to get a good night's sleep, and in the 12-hour long sleep just now, he was lucky enough to enter a state of "realization", in a dream. He saw the law of water, the softness of water, and the strength of water, and he was only one step away from comprehending the "water dragon technique".
The water dragon technique is the basis of a qiē water system control method. If you have mastered the water dragon technique, you can 'stand' on the water dragon pillar and move the water dragon to attack. Or further comprehend on this basis a full set of water system control methods such as "water arrows", "water waves", and "water balls", and his attack methods will be much richer in the future.
Okay, the silver melon seed interrupted himself, there must be something important, and without much hesitation, Tianming flashed out, pulling the silver melon seed and flashing to the observation platform on the island of the ship.
"Master, it's in that location, there's a boat somewhere, they might need help."
Looking along the place pointed by the silver melon seeds, there was indeed a ship, about 5 kilometers away from the Lidong, struggling in the huge waves.
"Buzz~~~!"
Another long conch sound came from there.
"It's not my style to see death and not save me, I'd better go and see it."
Putting on the silver steel armor, Tianming flew over.
Five kilometers can be reached in the blink of an eye, but after seeing the flag hoisted on the ship, Tianming is a little deterred, isn't this the flag hoisted by the hostile fleet last time? That awesome Blue Star man's ship?
The ship of the once hostile forces, to save or not to save?
Looking at the appearance of this ship, it is estimated that it is about to sink, and even if these people are saved, there is no place to put them, so forget it.
Tianming turned around and was about to fly away.
"Help!"
"Mighty priest, don't go, please save us!"
"Merciful strong, please save us!"
When the people on the ship were full of hope, they knelt down in despair when they saw that the man in the sky was about to fly away, and they all pleaded, crying out bitterly and miserably, and made Tianming's compassion mourn.
"Whatever you say is also a piece of fresh life, forget it, let's save them."
Tianming turned around and flew to the ship again, and saw their captain, a strong and burly man around 165 tall, who looked a little taller than the golden melon seeds.
"I'm Nabo, the captain of this ship, please save us!" This tall Blue Star man actually knelt towards Tianming.
Helping him up, Tianming nodded, this Blue Star Man is too strong, if you can subdue him and join your camp, then it is necessary to save this ship.
The size of this gourd ship, about 1oo meters long, 18 meters wide, and 15 meters high, if all of them are included in the ability space, it will probably occupy nearly 20,000 cubic meters of ability space, and he can only free up 10,000 cubic meters.
The ship was dilapidated, and after Tianming put all the people on the ship into a special ability warehouse, he strengthened the ship - inside the hull, a dense reinforcement net was woven with silver steel wire, and with this layer of net, like adding steel bars to the cement, the bottom of the ship was broken, and there would be no big holes, strong and strong.
After the ship was released, Tianming used a thick silver steel rope to tie the ship to the back of the three whalebone ships, and the people in the ability warehouse were also placed on the ship.
After less than a day in a strange place, he returned to the Nabo, and the people on board screamed.
"We were saved, he saved us!"
"Our ship has also been repaired, and it will never leak again!"
"Thank God for the mercy!" One knelt down.
"Thank God for the mercy!"
Many people knelt down, including their captain, General Nabo.
