After the meeting ended, Tang Mingtong left Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue and gave them a tutorial, explaining that this was an assignment for them to "turn regular" into a second lieutenant officer.

The tutorial was printed and marked with the words 1646, "There are eighteen assignments in all," Tang Mingtong said: "Complete the first assignment by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then hand it over to me on my desk, and henceforth the warship will complete one every day in the harbor and one in three days at sea!" ”

Yan Kun opened it and looked at the first task: draw a sketch of the left and right sides of the Navy cruiser 181, draw each compartment and explain the purpose, and draw a schematic diagram of all the sails and main ancillary facilities.

This is not a small project, the 181 ship is a three-masted warship, and it is also a new ship, with many and complete sails, and the previous experience may not be enough.

If it was an ordinary candidate, Tang Mingtong waved them to take a walk, let them do it themselves, and have enough food and clothing.

However, in view of the captain's attitude just now, Tang Mingtong summoned an old non-commissioned officer named "Lao Pan" to take the young man to observe the battleship and take a look everywhere.

"Hey!" Lao Pan said: "Two young men, I will take you to the mainmast platform, where the scenery is the best, you can see the entire deck of the ship, you are not afraid to go to a high place, right?" ”

Because of the instructions of the department chief just now, Lao Pan asked in advance, otherwise he wouldn't even ask, this is a good way to trick Xinding on the warship, let them make a fool of themselves, know that it is powerful, if Xinding has fear of heights, it will be even better!

"Nope! No! The two descendants hurriedly responded.

They went out onto the open deck and found that the warship had already set sail for the harbor.

The action was so fast, I ate the wind outside the port and headed east.

The sailors on board were busy, doing their errands according to the officer's instructions.

"Let's go!" At the rope ladder next to the mainmast, Lao Pan said, instructed the two new Ding to rub a little talcum powder on their hands, he took the lead and climbed with Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue.

The rope ladder is very solid, and the three of them go up, as the body continues to climb, Yan Kun feels a little flustered, speaking of which, the length of the main mast is more than ten meters long on the ground, but under his feet is a soft rope ladder swaying back and forth, so he feels very high, feels very hanging, and has no sense of security.

In the past, in the military academy, I also went to the mast, but it was not a high mast, and the left and right were guarded by people, and he was like flat ground up and down.

Now that he is on this mast, there is only his comrade-in-arms Jian Wenyue below, and no one else is watching, everyone is doing their job, there is no extra manpower, this is the career of the Navy!

When he climbed to a height of three-quarters, there was a shout of "fastening" from the deck, which indicated that the sail had been fixed, and the sail had been tilted towards the stern, so the hull was tilted more downwind, Yan Kun looked down, and saw that the ship's side railing was slowly moving, and behind it was the sea----- sparkling, endless sea, which seemed to be at his feet.

A gust of wind blew, crackling the sails, and the hull of the ship tilted sharply, as if the warship was about to fall on its side!

And Yan Kun on the rope ladder felt panicked, feeling like he was rushing towards the sea in the air!

His hands seemed to have ankylosis and he clung to the rope ladder tightly, no longer climbing up, he stood on the rope ladder in a "big zigzag" shape, under the action of the earth's gravity and centrifugal force, his whole body froze there, unable to move, and his heart produced nameless panic and rational worry.

The lattice of the rope ladder and the crossed rope pedals stuck to him one moment, and then pushed him backwards like a shirt to dry.

As a result, Yan Kun, the crown prince of the southeast, was so bad that his performance was not outstanding.

At his age, his son Yan Changwu has become the leading boss among Taiwanese pirates, wielding a knife with his own hands and cutting off the enemy's head in public!

And after Yan Kun grew up as a woman in the deep palace, even if he grew up in a military academy since he was a child, who dares not to give him face, which can be described as a flower in a greenhouse.

Therefore, Yan Changwu drove him to the westernmost part of the current Chinese power to join the army, so that he could understand the true meaning of life from his military career.

A figure descended along a rope to his left, it turned out that Lao Pan slid down from it, he gently held Yan Kun's wrist with his hand, and encouraged him: "Come on, young man, you can do it, follow me up, eyes up, go!" ”

Watching him climb the rope with his hands and feet, rubbing upwards, while Yan Kun climbed the ladder, how could he fall behind!

Yan Kun's right foot went up a step steadily, stepped on a ladder on it, and then his left foot followed, but as the sail was forced, his body shook back violently, and he quickly closed his eyes and held his breath.

opened his eyes and climbed up again, while Lao Pan quickly boarded the platform from the side support cable of the mast, dragged Yan Kun up, and signaled: "Hey, young man, pick up your brother too!" ”

So Yan Kun stretched out his hand and pulled Jian Wenyue up behind him, and when the two of them touched each other, they both felt a little stiff!

couldn't help but smile at each other, the eldest brother didn't say the second brother.

Three people were crammed into the main mast platform, which was not large and crowded.

"It's the mainmast, boy!" Lao Pan said that he consciously ignored the embarrassed appearance of the two new Ding, and in the past, he would taunt the new Ding. "The one in the distance is, of course, the foremast!"

"Old Pan, I thank you for helping me up just now." Yan Kun said: "Thank you, call me Xiao Yang, Yang Zai!" ”

The master is the teacher, Yan Kun does not dare to be arrogant!

"You're welcome! Xiao Yang! Lao Pan said enthusiastically: "Look, this is a rope sail!" ”

He pointed to some triangular sails, which Yan Kun recognized were hanging on the skeins, swinging on the ropes like curtains.

"I understand that the sparks are used to unfurl these sails." Yan Kun said.

"Well, that's right, Xiao Yang, they did spread the sails, but their real purpose was to fix the mast and pull it forward, so that the mast would not fall backwards when the ship swayed back and forth." Lao Pan instructed him to show him the role of the side sail.

In fact, Yan Kun has learned it all in books, but when he was immersed in the scene, he had an intuitive impression and really understood it.

"That is, the mast needs to be supported?" Yan Kun patted the mast and said, thick and solid, but the crew is still afraid that it will fall?

"It's very windy at sea! The sail has a large stress area, and the stress acts on the mast...... "Lao Pan said: "If it weren't for those side sails pulling them from both sides, as well as the rear support cables, these would have pulled the mast into the sea long ago!" ”

"Not to mention the mast, even the ship can be overturned!" Old Pan preached.

"However, the wind direction is uncertain, and we have to constantly adjust the side sails and rear support lines, otherwise we will not benefit from them, but will suffer from them!" Lao Pan said with emotion: "When the sail rope soldier is very bitter, the wind changes all the time, and there is no rest!" ”

"Hmm!" The two young men nodded their heads again and again, and began to appreciate the difficulty of being a soldier.
