When I woke up the next day, the cabin was full of golden light, and Yan Changwu looked at the time, it was terrible, it was almost eight o'clock.

He didn't sleep well last night, he always dreamed of this punch, that punch, in the size of a fist, and said that whoever has the bigger fist is right, which provoked Yan Changwu to be angry, pulled his pants, and shouted at a 32-pound cannon: "Whose fist is hard enough for me?" ”

Then I woke up from a dream, and then I couldn't sleep over and over, and I fell asleep dimly at dawn, and woke up with a pair of cat-and-bear eyes.

After a quick wash, he went out of the cabin at eight o'clock to inspect, and saw that Gan Hui, Shi Daxuan, Storm, and Mr. David were all on the deck. But the gestures of the brethren are not enough! The action is still slow! ”

"Good, keep practicing!"

Yan Changwu took the lead, inspected everywhere, and saw that everyone was working hard, the cabin and deck were cleaned, and the rigging everywhere was neatly arranged, and he nodded slightly.

The place of the warship is not large, and it is most taboo to be dull, and when it is boring, there will be everything, and the officers should arrange work for the soldiers to do, and the non-commissioned officers should take the soldiers to work, and try not to let everyone stop.

He went up to the roof of the stern cabin and saw the long and narrow white wake dragging on the stern of the ship stretching for miles in the blue sea, and the sailor at the helm was a good hand, and he could make the ship move so smoothly that the battleship made a straight track on the sea, and Yan Changwu praised the helmsman.

The helmsman nodded at Yan Changwu, very calm, this is an old helmsman, brought from the former flagship Southeast.

"Here, give me a try!" Yan Changwu said.

"Captain, move lightly!" The helmsman admonished.

When I took over the rudder, I immediately felt the difference.

Compared with the previous batch of British battleships, the rudder of the Nanhai No. 1 is more responsive, agile, and easier to operate.

Due to the preparation, Yan Changwu steadily turned the rudder to the three compass points to the right and let it sail in the wind.

The battleship's mast sails adjusted to a halt, and the battleship was pushed by the wind, and the battleship cleaved the waves, so light that it was as fast as the cruiser next to it.

Yan Changwu had a good time, just like a man's car and wife would not be borrowed, Yan Changwu didn't want to hand over the rudder.

"Captain, how fast do you say this is?" Mr. David asked.

"Eight knots on average!" Yan Changwu is not quite sure.

"Eleven knots at top speed, nine knots on average!" Mr. David replied.

"Great!" Yan Changwu couldn't help but say.

“This is a good Battleship！” (Very good battleship) Mr. David sighed authentically.

"A good ship indeed!"

Although the sailors were stupid, under the shouts of the shrewd and capable officers and non-commissioned officers, the speed of this large ship made it impossible for the fast cruisers commanded by the rookie captain behind to keep up.

Mr. David turned on the binoculars, commented on the two cruisers behind him, and smiled at Storm, "Do they have certificates?" Asked if the captains of the two ships had a certificate of induction, Storm said yes, and Mr. David smiled and said, "You Dutch students are not very good!" ”

He unleashed the map cannon, and Storm sneered, "Wrong! I'm now a naturalized Mingguo! Authentic Ming people, you red-haired fan! He said sternly.

"Although the Dutch are not very good, but they control the Strait of Malacca, you British have to pay taxes when you cross the border, do you understand?"

It's really a pot that can't be opened, Storm betrayed the Netherlands, it was the pain in his heart, in order to find the sustenance of the soul, he naturalized the Ming Kingdom and became a Ming country, but in his heart, he must be haunted by the Netherlands.

Mr. David took his own humiliation and changed the subject: "The battleships built by the British (Mr. Phineas Pate) are still good!" ”

He boasted of his British compatriots, and Storm couldn't deny it, but he said sharply: "The battleship of the next class is completed by our Ming people independently, and it must be better than the current class!" ”

Looking at a red-haired fan, we Mingren kept talking about it, saying that another red-haired fan was a red-haired fan, and there was a bickering, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

But Storm is really right, as soon as he joins the Ming Kingdom, then he is a native of the Ming Kingdom, no longer a red-haired fan, a fan, a Yi person, a Chinese person who enters my country is a Han, and everyone else is Yi.

Under the premise that Yan Changwu's "development is the last word", everyone knows that it is useless to talk about it, everything depends on the effect, and it is useless to talk about it.

……

"It's not good to say that the instructor can't do it, it's good to see Yan Dong control the battleship over there!" Storm scolded Mr. David, but he regretted it a little, after all, there were not many red-haired fans in the southeast mansion, and everyone had to help each other, so he opened the topic.

Everyone envied Yan Donglai's good luck, he could command such a large warship at a young age.

However, the best luck is the black warrior Siresma, there are two newly built third-class battleships, namely Nanhai No. 1 and Nanhai No. 2, the first is Yan Changwu's ship, and the second is Siresma as the captain!

The Nanhai 2 is now the flagship of the forward, the second hero in the fleet.

When the weather gets hotter, he still wears a black helmet, a black coat, and a black cuirass, but those helmets and cuirass have air intakes to dissipate heat for him, and he wears black boots and black breeches, which are no longer as tight as the winter suit.

He was given a preferential treatment of a shade cloth on the stern and bow of his battleship, and he could stay below and command.

Everyone looked at him, he looked back in the binoculars, waved to everyone, and everyone returned the salute.

I envy his style, but I also know that he is particularly risky, such a dazzling master, when fighting, the enemy must focus on him!

Thinking of this, everyone thought that it was better to eat a little thinner, at least not as dangerous as him.

……

At noon, the whistle called for the officers and men to eat, and a special ceremony took place on the deck.

The boatswain's ritual of mixing light liquor with water involves three parts water, one part rum, and the right proportion of lemon or orange juice and sugar.

Battleships sail far, food storage is not a problem, the problem is fresh water.

No matter how much fresh water is preserved, no matter how good the water is, if it lasts for ten days and eight days, the fresh water will definitely deteriorate, and drinking it will cause diarrhea and even an outbreak of plague.

In order to solve this problem, Yan Changwu came up with many methods, including using alum to clarify water quality; Filtration with activated carbon; Use a steam pot to boil water; Drink tea; There is also the establishment of supply bases as much as possible, the use of supply ships to transport water, etc.

Among them, the activated carbon filtration method is unique to Southeast Province, and the activated carbon method has not been passed on so far.

A lot of methods were used, but there were flaws in the end, and in the end, Yan Changwu sacrificed the method of seeping wine, which was not a way to solve everyone's drinking water problem.

There was wine to drink, and this method was warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers!

Yan Changwu is much loved, and the popularity rate is explosive all of a sudden!

Each warship was given a ration of rum, which was distributed twice a day, at twelve o'clock at noon and six at night, once at the end of the day, and a short ceremony was held, which became a happy hour for the officers and men!

Yesterday because of the impact of the storm, first of all, the storm was not tenable at all, after the storm was busy repairing the damaged places and pumping water, everyone drank water directly (the water quality is not bad), today can be carried out ceremony, the officers are all in attendance, and toast to each other, to celebrate the smooth sailing.

The soldiers smiled and stepped forward in turn to receive their share, and drank comfortably, which was a reward for their hard work!
