Not to the south, Jiaozhou Bay.

When the fog of the night completely dissolves in the sky, a round of red sun slowly rises into the sky, and the bay under the red sun is lightly rippling, like a virgin who has just woken up; On the sea, several strange warships are lined up, quietly moored on the harbor wharf, bathed in the morning glow, looking mighty and mysterious.

The mysterious warship is completely different from the building ship of the Eastern Han Dynasty, its shape is slender and graceful, the hull of more than 30 zhang is laid with 3 decks, the bow tower is high and cocked, but the stern is level with the top deck, the handling is simple and generous, without dragging mud and water. In addition to the towering three main masts, the bow and stern of the ship are also equipped with a strange mast auxiliary rod, at this moment, all the sails are slowly rising, not long after, when the canvas is full of sea breeze, the whole picture of the battleship will gradually show in front of the world, and the European sail battleship of the Age of Discovery!

Yes, the few battleships that span the ages in front of me are the copycats that I accidentally did.

On that day, I was bored, so on a whim, I drew several 18th-century European sail warships in a row. Unfortunately, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan found that the two of them had obtained a treasure, and then attracted the onlookers and harassment of the naval army commander Tai Shici, Zhou Tai and other naval generals, and they all shouted that they must be built. So, after more than 50 days and nights of hard work by colleagues in the School of Engineering, today finally made a shocking appearance.

Knock knock! The drums of war for the maiden voyage have been beaten.

"Let's go!" I slashed the cable that was tied to the bow of my flagship and shouted loudly towards the wide ocean.

"No!"

The main general Tai Shici made a military salute, turned around and took out a small red flag, and between the waves, the flag began to swing in a unique rhythm, several times in a row, which was the flag that ordered the warship to set sail. In an instant, the other warships also waved their flags in response, and in a few moments, the entire fleet rushed out and rushed towards the blue sea.

Half an hour later, the fleet had sailed out of Jiaozhou Bay and into the vast Pacific Ocean.

Subsequently, all the way south, the fleet rode the wind and waves on the vast sea, and these Spanish galleon-style giants were undoubtedly the existence of this time and space beyond the times. It has a streamlined hull like a great white shark, a tall bow that pierces into the sea like a pyramid, and several thick and straight masts towering on the deck, the ship sailing on the sea is so majestic and magnificent! I stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, looking into the distance, thousands of dazzling and gorgeous morning sun sprinkled on the sea, the sea in the distance, sparkling, dazzling, as if countless rolling pearls composed of a brilliant and dazzling fairy tale world!

The sun was rising, the wind was blowing on the sea, and countless pearls were scattered in an instant; The waves on the surface of the sea swelled and set off white sprays. At this time, the sea, like a naughty boy who has nothing to do, chased each other, frolicked, hugged each other, chased after another, and the waves crashed on the bow of the boat, splashing everywhere, and drenching my face.

At the bow, a few seagulls accompany the boat, either flying close to the surface of the sea or flying onto the deck, circling between the ropes tied to the sails. Then, he glides out onto the surface and dances with his companions!

Tai Shi Ci didn't know when he stood beside me, he wiped the water droplets on his face, and reminded softly: "Lord, there may be a storm!" He said, pointing to the low-flying seabirds in front of him.

"Well, it makes sense, the bird flying low indicates that the sea surface pressure is low, which is a precursor to a storm." I thought about it for a moment and replied.

Tai Shi Ci expected a storm, which was learned from the experience of sailing at sea, but the cause of the storm is unknown. Hearing my explanation, he became interested and asked me sincerely how the storm was formed.

"The earth rises into clouds, and the weather falls into rain." I sorted out my thoughts, and then explained the reason for the formation of the wind in the vernacular: "Ziyi, the planet we live on is wrapped in a thick atmosphere, and the higher we go, the thinner the air and the lower the temperature, for example, the temperature on the top of the mountain is lower than at the bottom of the mountain. If you've climbed a mountain, you'll feel like you're not breathing as easily as you might be. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded, deeply convinced.

"The formation of wind is actually very simple, every place on our earth is absorbing the heat of the sun, but different regions are unevenly heated, and the degree of cold and warm air is naturally different; The warm air expands and rises lightly when heated, and the cold air cools and becomes heavier and falls, and when the cold and warm air meet, convection is generated, forming wind. The formation of rain is also a reason, first of all, there must be enough moisture in the air, you see, why does the seagull fly so low, because the air is too humid, its wings are covered with moisture, so it does not fly high. As we have just said, the temperature of the air below is higher, and the temperature of the air is lower the further up, and the cold air must be heavier than the warm air, so the warm air will rise, and the cold air will come down, and when the warm air meets the cold air, the water vapor inside will condense into small droplets when it is cold, and it will rain when it falls. What about the storm? When a strong warm air meets a strong cold airflow, they produce violent convection, which creates a storm! ”

Tai Shi Ci pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Listen to the words of the lord, let Ci Mao stop, please accept mercy!" ”

I hurriedly held up Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi, I have always regarded you as a brother, we are just chatting now, you are too polite to be so polite!" ”

At this time, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Shi A had arrived, and Tai Shi Ci saw that I was resolute, so I had to give up.

At noon, the wind is tighter.

Tai Shi Ci took out a small colored pennant and held it up to test the direction of the wind. "Oh no, the wind has changed!" He was secretly anxious, and looked up to see the bulging mainsails on the mast creaking in the wind, and the sails and rafters swaying in the sudden turn of the wind before they could be adjusted. Tai Shi Ci didn't care about the strong wind on the bow of the ship, tightened his cuffs and trousers, galloped to the mainmast, and climbed to the top of the pole in the strong wind. Holding up the "clairvoyant" I handed him, he exclaimed: "The storm ahead is approaching my fleet, everyone is out of the warehouse and ready!" ”

The order was immediately conveyed by the soldiers on the deck who ran into the cabin, and soon the sailors, soldiers, and logisticians below poured onto the deck, and even the female nurses of the sanitary battalion came out to help.

Seeing that the situation was grim, Tai Shi Ci slid down from the mast quickly, and immediately called the herald to contact other ships with flags, and gave the order loudly: "Second shift, quickly fix the iron anchor!" ”

Someone immediately came out.

He also assigned tasks to his subordinates in a loud voice, "First mate, quickly gather people to lower the main sail and adjust the auxiliary sail!" Needless to say, the sailors have already moved, and they quickly untie the sail rope and turn the auxiliary sail calmly.

On the other side of the sea, clusters of dark clouds are approaching from the sky, and the sea breeze is even more raging, and the storm is coming!

When he was busy, a thunderbolt rang loudly, and the downpour fell on his head and face. I was trying to tie the lifeline with a few guards, but the rain hit my face and I couldn't open my eyes, so we fumbled our way to the rear mast. Suddenly, a huge wave crashed into the left side of the ship, and the hull shook violently, and I slipped under my feet and fell on the deck. I rubbed my eyeballs and saw that many people were also rolling on the ground and falling to the ground like me, embarrassed!

The wind and waves were very urgent, and I couldn't do it without a lifeline, so I turned my head and took the lead in encouraging the guards around me, "Don't panic, everyone, come up, let's crawl forward, crawl over and tie the rope!" The usual hard training paid off immediately, and several men broke through the storm's resistance and made great efforts to tie the lifeline to the rear mast. I exhaled heavily and asked someone who couldn't help to come and grab the lifeline so that I wouldn't be thrown overboard by the wind and waves.

In an instant, the sky was dark, and the wind swept up the dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder! Tai Shici held a megaphone rolled into iron sheets and shouted: "Soldiers, work hard! Second mate, you take 2 squads of sailors to lower all the sails; The others fixed everything on the deck... Come on, come on! The storm is coming! ”

The sea in the distance has been stirred and boiled by the dark clouds and rolling waves, and wave after wave is pouring towards the fleet, getting closer and closer! At this moment, a strong wind struck the bow of the ship, and the waves came like a high wall, lifting the bow of the ship high. The unsteady rolls of canvas, ropes, and barrels slid down at a rapid pace, quickly disappearing into the waves. A female nurse did not grasp the lifeline and screamed and was swept into the sea, and the cry stopped!

The wind and waves are more urgent! The hull of the ship swayed from side to side, tossed up and down, like a lonely and helpless child in the stormy seas! Suddenly, a small whirlpool wind swept up on the port side of the ship, breaking the foremast and sending it into the air.

Seeing a few desperate screaming fresh lives disappearing, but he was helpless, a deep sense of powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart! My grip on the side of the boat grew harder and harder, and the hard oak planks were sunk by the hard pinching of my fingers, and I didn't even notice it. The howls of terror were soon drowned in the raging waves, and the tragedy that happened in front of them made the audience feel creepy and sad!

The mast that swept into the air was soon thrown down by the spiral wind, and it slammed into the sea against the starboard side of the ship, setting off a wave in the sky! Fortunately, this heavy mast did not hit the hull, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable! Despite the dodge, danger followed. At this moment, the hull of the ship is tilting to the right so badly that if there is another huge wave from the left, it will surely capsize in the storm! Just as the people on deck were in shock, a dam-like wall of water swooped down on the right side, and this huge hand pushed the ship right...... Everyone sweated, and they were all afraid of the rest of their lives!

The storm continued to wreak havoc on the ship, and everyone trembled, fearing that if they were not careful, they would be swallowed up by the waves without a trace! Under the storm and the mighty waves, the big ship deviated from its predetermined course and drifted with the current, and no one knew where the irresistible hand of the sea would push us!

The terrified torment continued until evening, and the heavens and the earth returned to peace.

The wind has stopped, the rain has stopped, the sea is no longer tossed, and it has returned to its former gentle demeanor! If it weren't for the devastated deck and the devastated hull warning you, no one would have believed that they had just experienced a catastrophe of nine deaths!

The flagship of the "Zhengyuan" is completely different and has suffered heavy losses! And the other ships are completely missing!

When a huge island stood in front of them not far away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
