"What is this platform for? Why did the mast become two here, and what is this sledgehammer for? Jian Wenyue asked.

"Well, oh, this platform, in addition to doing sail hoisting and other work on it, it also allows soldiers with small arms to fight the enemy, and they can condescendingly shoot at the enemy deck from here!" Lao Pan said.

"Ah, that's good!" Jian Wenyue said excitedly: "Wouldn't it be possible to throw grenades or fire bombs at them?" ”

"That's good, but don't do that." Lao Pan said.

"Why not?" Yan Kun asked puzzled.

"In this way, those bullets dragging a long smoke make the soldiers above the most obvious targets, and the enemy will focus on shooting at him, so that he will ......" Lao Pan simulated the posture of the bird falling with his hands, he said briskly, but Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue didn't feel a little relaxed!

It's going to be a terrible battle position, and the fighters who go there will often have no return!

However, there is always someone who wants to get to this position!

Think about the degree of shadow in the heart of the soldier who received the order to "go to that platform", either to kill the enemy, or to be punished by military law if he did not comply.

Before they reached the battlefield, Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue began to understand the horror of war.

In Yan Kun's heart, he began to realize why his father wanted to implement the politics of the first army, and the knighthood was only given to soldiers? Unusually generous for soldiers?

Soldiers are really engaged in a profession with their heads on the top!

"Also, the top of the mast cable fixing plate on this side can fix the three-eyed wooden cake used for the middle mast side support cable, and the platform is relatively wide, you can put a twisted reel, and use the handle to curl up the cable more extensively. It's the same with the top ones, there are mast crossbars, which are used to separate the upper mast side cables, do you see those upper mast side tracks? Lao Pan indicated the location and said: "Look up, next to the mid-mast sail truss, where the lookout platform on the mast protrudes!" ”

Yan Kun looked at the clusters of support ropes and said in surprise: "It's very complicated!" ”

"Of course it's complicated, it's a must." Lao Pan said a professional term: "This is redundancy, to avoid giving the enemy's chain bombs to a pot!" ”

The soft rope fence on the platform is equipped with an iron bracket, the place is narrow, and the three of them don't even have a chance to turn around, so Yan Kun sat between the two iron pillars according to Lao Pan's teaching, one arm held one, and the two legs hung in the air, and he was a little scared at first.

"God, when my mother sees me like this, she will shoot me to death!" Yan Kun thought in his heart.

His mother Yang Yinger is very polite, and when she saw her son sitting with her legs crossed like this, she absolutely scolded her with P shares and meat sandwiched!

Speaking of which, Yan Kun is very afraid of his mother, but he is not very afraid of his father.

"Well, you're wearing your training uniforms, yes!" Lao Pan motioned for everyone to look at him, with a sling on his shoulder and a very strong belt around his waist, with a hook, he took out a rope, hung it on the belt at one end, and hung it on the iron bracket at the other end and said: "This is a safety rope, it can save your life when it is critical." ”

The two newcomers didn't have safety ropes, but Lao Pan had already prepared for them, giving them one and letting them hang it up.

Lao Pan admonished: "As soon as the people who go up to this battle position come up, hang up the safety rope, and always remember that the wind and waves are unpredictable, the gun has no eyes, and do enough safety measures!" ”

Yan Kun nodded again and again: "Understood, understood, I'll go back and talk to my mother!" ”

He sat comfortably and looked around, and now that the sun was high, it was shining brightly, and at the same time it cast pointed shadows on the white canopy, which were in geometric lines, straight lines and curves, which were only destroyed when passing over the unformed mainsail of the forecastle.

Looking far away, I saw the sails on the blue sea, there were so many Chinese ships, and many of them were Indian, Arab, and Persian merchant ships, and a coast guard ship was inspecting a dhow.

"That's the foremast, Xiao Yang, we call it the lower mast at the root, or simply the foremast, fixed to the inner keel, so be careful, if you are hit by a chain bullet on the foremast, it will hurt the keel, if the keel is injured, our ship will be irregular, listen to the commander, you are in the navigation department, you have to remember this." Lao Pan taught by example, and the two descendants listened to it with relish.

I have learned a lot of the knowledge in textbooks, and I have seen similar knowledge on training ships, but I have felt particularly deeply when I serve on a warship.

"The foremast was pulled forward by the side sparks on either side of it, three in groups of two each, which were pulled forward by those that extended to the bow mast, and the other rope parallel to the forestay was an auxiliary cable to prevent the mast from breaking. Looking up at the foremast, we find the hoop of the mainmast, and the mainmast is passed through here to secure the mainmast below us! ”

"It's so big, it's so thick!" The two young men exclaimed.

Indeed, this mainmast support cable is stout and strong, and the length of the caliber is more than a quarter of a meter (more than twenty-five centimeters, almost thirty centimeters)!

"Only the strongest sailors can do them!" Lao Pan said silently, and then talked about a dangerous topic: "Danger is everywhere on the ship, if you are hit by this cable, you can smash your head crookedly, so, what do you want to do?" ”

"Wear a helmet! Wear protective gear! The two young men said in unison.

“GOOD！” Unexpectedly, Lao Pan spoke red-haired words.

"Lao Pan, you can also speak red-haired words?" Yan Kun asked.

"Of course, I'll say, I passed the exam, and I have a stipend!" Lao Pan said proudly.

So Yan Kun used English to answer Lao Pan, and found that Lao Pan's answer was fluent, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"The former co-navigator was naturalized by the British, a young man, a few years older than you, who opened an English corner on a warship!" Lao Pan explained.

No wonder!

The southeastern country is strong and the military salaries are high, which attracts many nationalities to join in order to obtain the household registration book!

"Come on, let's move on."

Seeing that the two descendants were holding a notebook, drawing there with a pencil, and recording, Lao Pan should be quite high, and came one by one: "I see the foremast, which is the same lifter as us, which is one fifth above the foremast, and is built on the top of the mast longitudinal truss and the top mast crossbar, so that the remaining length of the lower mast coincides with the middle mast, just like the two of us here."

We first hoist it, and then install it on the lower mast, just like a soldier loading a bayonet on a musket, and when it reaches a certain height through the mast, the hole in the root is aligned, and we plug the mast into it, and smash it with a sledgehammer, which is the madness you just asked, and we smash it and shout 'Smash, hey'......"

He waved his arms, simulating a hammer swing, and the two afterlife couldn't help but laugh.

But Lao Pan's next sentence made them laugh abruptly: "If we catch a pirate, we will hang the pirate leader from here, he deserves this position, and ordinary pirates are not necessary." Or whoever commits the crime of condemning the country, it is appropriate to hang them, of course, including the great men of the enemy, and if the crime is very heinous, send him up.

Remember, boys, not that you are meant to know what it is for, and do not hesitate to use it when necessary, after all, you will be an officer in the future! ”

I see!
