When the bell woke Yan Donglai, who was asleep, he looked at the schedule on the table and knew that it would soon be his turn to work, so he packed his clothes and left his room and went up to the open deck.

Seeing the female officer Chen Yuxue and the captain of the ship, Costit together, "I've taken over!" Yan Donglai said briskly, the captain and the female officer nodded, the last shift was the shift of the female officer, and she completed the handover procedures with him.

Yan Dong came to work, he raised his head and turned in circles to observe the booms: they had turned to the minimum angle that the mainmast side support cable and the foremast side support cable could drive, but it was still not ideal, so he planned to go to the outer waist board of the bow of the boat to adjust the knots, which might reduce the angle a little more.

"Sergeant Wang!" He said, "Please deflect downwind and raise the square mainsail." Direction: South-Southwest. ”

"Yes, sir, two sets of sails? (reduce the wind-affected area)" asked Sergeant Wang.

"No, don't crane the sails." Yan Donglai said with a smile, the orders came out one after another, the chaotic footsteps continued, and the boatswain's order sounded, and he watched the actions on the ship with a critical eye and detached, patiently correcting the sailors' movements.

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

"Southeast Asia No. 10" smoothly turned downwind, and Yan Donglai said loudly on the command platform: "Set!" ”

The helmsman struggled to hold the rudder, and as the battleship turned, the mainsail was exposed under the influence of the wind, and it puffed up and pulled down again. After tossing for a while, the sail surface stretched out in the direction of the stern, and the battleship accelerated, and just when Yan Donglai shouted "stop", its speed had increased to at least three knots.

The sails were caught in the wind, the square mainsail was pulled as tight as a drum skin, the bow of the battleship was inserted into the seawater, and the stern was raised high, which was not good, and the sails had to be adjusted to make the bow smooth so that the speed could be increased.

Therefore, the manipulation of the sail period is cumbersome enough, it can't be done without wind, and it can't be done when the wind is strong, it will always be a toss!

Yan Donglai sent a man to the steering wheel to prevent the sail from being downwind in case the steering suddenly turned and caused the boat to be sideways by the wind, which would be a joke.

The steering wheel and the big rudder are rigidly linked, and the power is fed back, and 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 came to control the helm by herself, and she could actually control the steering wheel, which was strong enough.

"Sail Repairer!" Yan Donglai commanded.

Soon the sail repairer came, and he said, "Sergeant Xu, can you add another layer of cloth to this sail, or add triangular scarves to each corner (to increase the windy area)." ”

"No, sir!" The sail repairer said with certainty: "No, even if there is anything else, this one can't, that sail boom can't work, sir, you see how the belly of the sail bulges, it is stronger than the pig's urine bubble!" ”

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

He walked over to the guardrail of the battleship and watched as the water rushed away, the water on the downwind side of the bow striking the gang and rolling up, forming a long silver belt.

Don't look at the huge battleship, the speed is not slow at all, Yan Donglai is very satisfied.

He turned around, stepped on the deck, made a clanging sound, looked at the boom of the main lower mast, and carefully observed the boom affected by the wind, the wind gradually became stronger, the boom began to rush to the wind and turn direction, the sail was affected by the wind, the traction mast and the boom were stressed, Yan Donglai seemed to hear the moaning of the mast.

Yan Donglai stood under the mainmast with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the sail boom.

The captain, Hong Xiguan, Chen Yuxue, and the young officers all stayed solemnly on the open-air deck, and everyone looked at Yan Donglai's command and then at the sails.

They are now downwind, in line with the direction of the wind, so all the rigging is quiet, the sea is not windy and waves, and the "Southeast Asia 10" quietly bumps up and down gently, lifting weights lightly and gently gliding across the water.

“This is a good BB！ (BB ship, battleship, is Yan Changwu's speech)" The captain did not hesitate to praise.

"Good ship!" Everyone said that they were happy to be able to serve on such a big ship.

"The wind is getting stronger, sir." Seeing the red eye-catching streamers on the mast floating, Sergeant Wang asked, "Do you put away the mainsail or the bow truss sail?" ”

Before Yan Donglai could make a decision, everyone heard the ominous cracking sound of the wind blowing, and Yan Donglai was so anxious that Yan Donglai shouted: "Control the sling, put the sling, lower the sail, act quickly, quickly, quickly!" ”

The sea is always so unpredictable, one moment the wind is calm, the next a while the wind suddenly increases, like a beast of prey, blowing the huge battleship around, like a piece of paper up and down on the sea!

The sailors moved fast enough, all veterans shot, and still the officer's instructions jumped up and down, and hundreds of people worked together, but the wind was faster, and a sail boom on the right side was torn off by the wind, and it fell to the deck at once, and the sails were unloaded, and the sail booms became bare poles, and everything on the poles hung up.

"The sail truss is broken at the part of the tie stringer, sir!" The carpenter was saddened, and this day was his Good Friday. "I can try to reinforce it with a joint plate, but it's no longer symmetrical, scary,"

Yan Donglai nodded expressionlessly, walked to the guardrail, stepped on it with one foot, climbed the rope ladder, and then he pulled out the binoculars to observe. When the battleship was pushed up the valley of waves, it could see the seaside lighthouse of Rising Sun City, located at three compass points at right angles to starboard side, like a large sesame seed.

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

Although there was a small accident, no one blamed him, because during the voyage of the battleship, there were always large and small problems that occurred and appeared, and the loss of the sail boom was a very small thing, which could be repaired by itself, and there were no casualties, so small that it could not be smaller, such as sailing the day before yesterday, when the captain was commanding, the wind and waves were very strong, the sea water penetrated from many places, and the water quickly accumulated in the cabin, so that the crew was busy pumping water non-stop, and they could not rest at night!

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

Almost at the end of Yan Donglai's shift, the "Southeast Asia 10" entered the channel of the naval fleet berthing area of the Rising Sun City, and the crew members were crowded on the open deck, ready to mooring the rigging, talking excitedly, and on the military dock, you can see many people waiting for them, they are all the families of the crew, "Southeast Asia 10" has been sailing for a full month, and the naval families who are in the Rising Sun City are looking forward to their return!

The big ship slowly docked under the front and back hugs of the four oar-scratching tugboats, and the crew stood on the slope in a whole group, while the people on the shore let out bursts of cheers!
