"I've sent sailors to look out from the mast, and now our ships are at the front, and if none of our ships can avoid the storm, the other ships will be really in danger?"

With Ke Ming, a professional in command, there is no need for Bai Ding to command indiscriminately, the sailors and pulpers on the ship are the best, and the Qianshi sea ship is also the top in this era, if this is not safe, Zhen Qian will not have the slightest complaint even if he dies.

As Ke Ming's orders were conveyed to all ships, all the ships knew what was happening, and no one dared to take it lightly, one was afraid of losing his way on the sea, and the other was afraid of encountering a storm, no matter what kind of situation he encountered, finding an island as soon as possible, or the mainland was the key to survival.

At the beginning, Ke Ming and he wanted to change the course, but now it seems to be very correct, and deviating from the course means avoiding the route of the storm's movement.

There are many islands around the Wa Kingdom, and if you give this fleet another five or six days, you will definitely encounter an island, even if it is a small island, it can take shelter from the wind, at least there will not be much loss of personnel, and the property and ships are nothing at all in Zhen Qian's eyes, now it's okay, this fleet may collide head-on with the storm, and it's too late to say anything.

Zhen Qian now wants to scold his mother, a general is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies, this sentence is really true!

Abe Nakamaro also sneered at himself for telling all the ships to disperse, now that the distance between the ships could not be widened, it would be good for the best sailors to be able to see sixty miles in the distance when the weather was clear at sea, and the smaller the search surface, the smaller the chance of discovering the island, and the island would not wait for the fleet in front.

Zhen Qian comforted the light smoke and asked the guards to put on life jackets, although the life jackets made of cork boards would not be too effective, but they were much better than no protection.

Ke Ming stood at the bow of the ship facing the wind, the wind mixed with raindrops on his face, and looked at the southern sky motionlessly and said: "The storm is coming soon, and now we still have four or five hours to go, if we don't find the islands and the mainland within this time, our fleet will be in danger."

Fujiwara Shuo also began to be afraid after listening to Ke Ming's words, if he met someone at sea who was not afraid of the storm, then he was not a human at all, but a god. As long as people will tremble in the storm, fear, and even frighten the farts and urine, this is the awe of nature, but also the nature of people to seek advantages and avoid harm, gentlemen do not stand under the wall of danger, this is not a scandal at all.

In the face of the approaching storm, Jianzhen and his disciples seemed much calmer, clasped their hands together and said: "This may be the life of the poor monk, since it has been encountered by the poor monk, it should be faced calmly." The poor monk thanked Master Ke first, we will influence Lord Ke here, and the poor monk will take his leave."

Those charming singers screamed on the boat, and the seasickness had just improved, and now it was in a storm, and it felt like the sky was really about to collapse, and they couldn't stop begging the sailors not to abandon themselves.

Zhen Qian's psychological state at this time was not much stronger than those singers, but as the highest official of this ship, he still stood on the deck of the ship without hesitation, letting the wind and rain blow on him, and erected a confidence and desire to survive for everyone.

Wang Tianxing had a rope tied around his waist, and the other end of the rope was tied to the mast, and there were many people who did this, just now there was a lookout who fell from the top of the mast, if it wasn't for the rope tied to his body, he would have fallen into the sea long ago, and even then the lookout broke his ribs and fell unconscious.

Ke Ming threw away the airbag made of pig urine bubble in his hand, the airbag just rose into the air, and disappeared into the sky by the wind, there was no wind measuring instrument, this simple measurement method provided Ke Ming with the most intuitive data, "The storm is approaching rapidly, more violent than expected, the good news is that the storm may not hit our fleet head-on, the fleet is moving away from the storm, I hope the current speed can buy us more time?" ”

Wang Tianxing held an airbag and put it to his ear, listening to the low-frequency sound amplified by the airbag, and adjusting the angle from time to time, this is the method that Ke Ming handed over to Wang Tianxing.

Before the storm came, you could hear the extremely low audio sound in the storm from the balloon, as long as you adjusted the direction of the balloon, you could roughly guess the direction and time of the storm, but this method was not very accurate, especially when the storm was coming, this method was useless, Zhen Qian didn't expect this common sense to detect the storm Ke Ming also knew.

When Zhen Qian saw Light Smoke sticking his head out of the cabin, he waved his hand and shouted, "Light Smoke! There will be nothing wrong here, this sea ship is the strongest warship in Datang and can withstand any wind and waves. Now that the deck is stormy and rough, you should be careful of catching a cold, so let's go back to the cabin and rest! ”

Ke Ming also held a pig urine bubble in his hand and said, "Sir! If you listen to this, the loudest is due south, and the quieter is in the southeast and southwest directions, and if this is the right thing, the storm should come a little east due south. ”

"Most of the storms this season are coming from the south, and the direction of movement is mainly west and north, if we continue to drive eastward at this time, even if we can't break out of the storm, we can avoid the center of the storm, we should be right?"

The current fleet course is north-east, and Zhen Qian is secretly glad that he did not choose to continue sailing north, otherwise the speed of the fleet will not be faster than the speed of the storm anyway.

The sky soon became gloomy, and the wind and waves on the sea became stronger and stronger, usually there were no wind on the sea and there were three feet of waves, but now the storm was coming, and the waves became higher and more violent. The ship seemed to be moving on a valley, held up by the wind and waves, and then thrown into the valley by the waves, and the sea began to boil before the storm appeared.

Ke Ming ordered all non-sailors on board to leave the deck and return to the cabin to tie themselves to the fixation of the cabin to avoid injury in the wind and waves. This was Ke Ming's order, and Zhen Qian had to strictly enforce it, but Zhen Qian wanted to see what was going on with the storm, so he quietly tied himself to the window very closely, wanting to get close to the storm.

"Sir! There seems to be a mountain peak ahead, about forty miles from the fleet, maybe a small island? ”

At this time, the rain in the sky was heavier, and the sailor standing on the lookout seemed vaguely to see something vague, so he hurriedly reported to Ke Ming, who didn't want any ambiguous results now: "Continue to observe, I need accurate information." ”
