As the group of veterans in strange white naval uniforms stepped onto the former battleship Maidno Navy, which had been painted with a new port, Ston was taken aback by the situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Aror is not his ship, it is also a sharp class, and he has been to Yarol many times to direct operations, but now this familiar battleship under his feet suddenly makes him feel a sense of strangeness.

The hull of the Fengrui-class is not wide, even with the guardrails on both sides, it is only more than 50 feet wide, and if a large amount of debris is piled up on the gun deck or next to the mast, there is often only a place of more than 10 feet wide, and it is extremely inconvenient for personnel to come and go. Ston has always been extremely dissatisfied with this situation, but these uneducated and thick-skinned sailors who are not afraid of being beaten do not care about the captain's various punishments, and have always gone their own way, empty buckets, old fishing nets, and broken cables are often piled up on the deck, often leading to hindering the sailors' actions in battle, but at this time there is no force at sea that can stop the Fengrui-class battleship, so Ston does not take it too seriously, and turns a blind eye to it. The wooden deck has been trampled by barefoot sailors for many years, and has been covered with a thick layer of putty, which can even reflect the light in the sunlight.

But the situation was very different now, in the distance a few sailors were kneeling on the wooden deck at the stern of the ship, desperately grinding the deck with what looked rough in their hands, and behind them someone was scrubbing the polished deck with a rag, and they were picking up the freshly cleaned rag from a bucket and scrubbing it. They had apparently only started this morning, as only the stern of the entire deck was now scrubbed and polished, and it looked very clean.

"What is this for? Why wipe the deck so clean? Ston certainly couldn't understand the reason, and muttered to himself in a somewhat odd official tone. Zhong Bin on the side laughed, "I was also taken aback when I saw it for the first time, I didn't know why they were cleaning the deck, but later I learned that there are many doorways in it." The first is that no matter whether you are barefoot or wearing shoes, you will not easily fall down when walking on the polished deck, which virtually reduces many accidents of slipping into the sea. ”

Ston nodded hurriedly, not to mention that if there was a war or a storm, it would be common for a few sailors to go to the sea.

"The second, of course, is to cultivate the feelings of sailors for warships." Zhong Bin said as he pointed to the Chunxiao moored next to the trestle in the distance. The Chunxiao is a neat example of all sailboats in this time and space, the deck is polished to a woody color, there is no debris to be seen next to the mast, the cables are neatly tied to the side of the ship, and the buckets are neatly arranged under the stairs of the aft tower, which will not cover the people walking on the deck at all. "Only if you put in the effort can you be full of affection for it." Zhong Bin patted lightly on the railing of the Aror.

"Is there any other reason?" Ston agreed with Zhong Bin's explanation and hurriedly asked.

Zhong Bin smiled and nodded, "Of course, a clean and tidy environment can reduce the chance of disease and plague outbreaks, and of course, the most important point, cultivate the respect and obedience of sailors to the captain." ”

"Yes," Yang Junbo, who was on the side, saw Zhong Bin giving a lesson to Ston and stepped forward to explain, "I know that you used to rely on officers and punishments to control sailors, but this is actually a palliative rather than a cure. Sailors under the oppression of high-pressure methods are ostensibly loyal to the captain, but will not hesitate to betray the captain when it comes to a major event. ”

Ston bowed his head and said nothing, Medenor was a sea race, and although they had managed sailors this way for hundreds of years, and had experienced countless sailor rebellions, no one had ever come up with a solution, so they had to continue like this. At this time, as soon as the unattractive senator in front of him said it, he was shocked to realize that if this problem was not solved, the supremacy at sea would inevitably be unreliable, and he decided to settle down in the Senate Navy to see if he could learn their management methods for the crew and understand their magical weapons.

Over the next few days, Ston opened up to teach the "veterans" in white naval uniforms the skills of sailing warships, and he kept nothing to himself. From the conversations he had with these veterans in the past few days, he was surprised to find that they knew a lot about the navy, and many of them even surpassed his own, and what they lacked seemed to be more practical experience. In terms of actual operation, a veteran named Lin Chuanqing was quite experienced, and under the demonstration, these veteran officers slowly began to become familiar with the operation methods of these warships. But he scoffed at the courage of the fellows to climb even the mast, and in his opinion, a captain who didn't even dare to climb the mast was a sturdy sturdy shit. With the exception of a few elders who were quite experienced in climbing trees, they slid down halfway through the climb, and almost all of them gave up climbing the mast.

"If you don't even dare to climb the mast, then what are you talking about dominating the sea? No matter how good your weapons are, you will lose the battle at sea. "Ston finally caught the sore feet of these patriarchs, so naturally he stepped on two more feet.

"How so?" He Lin pouted on the side, "We have higher technology, and climbing the mast is a sign of low technology, do you think our cruiser destroyer and the Dongfeng need to climb the mast?" ”

Ston immediately stopped talking, and from the moment he attacked the Oriental Harbor, he saw the Dongfeng quietly moored in the harbor. This 161.4-meter-long, 20.2-meter-wide steel giant ship pressed on his heart like a mountain from the first time he saw it, he couldn't imagine how to fight against such a huge steel giant ship, encountering such an enemy, even a Fengrui-class battleship was afraid that it would not be able to withstand its impact, right? Not to mention that this huge ship, like most of the ships in the Senate Navy in front of him, has no sails and no oars, and if you fight it yourself, you have no chance of winning at all. At least this big ship does not need to seize the upper hand, it can go in any direction at any time and at any time according to the captain's wishes, although I don't know what its speed is, but just by looking at the high speed of the cruisers and destroyers they say, this huge ship should not be much slower. If you can't beat it and can't run away, how can you deal with such a ship?

"Wow......" Yang Junbo on the mast began to vomit, and the crowd below was surprised, today is calm, and he is in the port berth, how can this guy vomit? Is it seasickness?

Yang Junbo hurriedly slid down the sail rope all the way, ran quickly to the side of the boat and vomited below. He didn't know how this could be, he hadn't been on a sailboat, he took 10,000 steps back and said, Chunxiao is always a sailboat, right? Why did you feel a little seasick on this captured battleship?

However, everyone's attention was quickly attracted by other things, and from the stairs on the deck came several elders in chemical protective suits, carrying several sacks in their hands, which contained quite a few things.

"What are they?" Bu Zhongfu was a little curious, and stepped forward to ask.

The leader was Wang Yizhi from the epidemic prevention port of the health group, and he didn't mind opening the sack and letting Bu Zhongfu look inside, "It's nothing, it's just rats, the rats here are really big enough." ”

Everyone came up to take a look, and sure enough, they were all mice, all with dark hair, and they didn't know how much food they had eaten to grow so big.

"How did you kill these rats?" Ston couldn't help but be quite surprised when he saw a few sacks in front of him. Rats are a terrible thing for ships at sea, these little things are not big, but they have a big appetite and a keen sense of smell, and no matter where you hide your food, they can quickly be spotted and scourged.

"You are?" Wang Yizhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know the person in front of him, and at this time, things like rat poison were top-secret high-tech means in this time and space, and they couldn't be spread.

Zhong Bin on the side hurriedly replied, "Report to the chief, this is the commander of the Maidno Naval Fleet, who was captured in the battle a few days ago, and now serves as the chief adviser of our sail fleet. ”

"Oh," Wang Yizhi understood, he was just a coach, and his level of exposure to the black technology of the Senate was not enough, so he couldn't explain it to him, so he casually found some other reasons to be perfunctory. But Ston didn't think so, and his attention was all focused on the strange clothes of the people in front of him. The yellow garment obviously doesn't look like a fabric, but it reflects light, from boots to hats. The short-haired patriarch in front of him turned his hat back to reveal his head, but judging from the combination between the collar and the hat, it seemed that he could isolate the whole person from the outside world.

Curious about the baby, Ston immediately changed the subject, "What is this dress?" ”

"Oh!" Wang Yizhi smiled and replied: "This is a chemical protective suit, which is used to prevent the body from coming into contact with toxic substances...... His words stopped abruptly, and the patriarch of another epidemic prevention gate behind him stabbed him in the back.

Ston knew that he was not from the Senate after all, and he was still wary of himself, so he did not ask any further, but he smelled a slightly pungent smell wafting in the sea breeze. Just as he was about to ask, Wang Yizhi knew that if he said too much, he hurriedly took the people at the epidemic prevention gate to carry the corpses of these cleaned rats and cockroaches off the boat, and they would burn these animal carcasses on the beach and bury them deeply, so as not to cause infectious diseases.

However, the ship was not completely cleaned at this time, and for several days, the veterans of the epidemic prevention port had to spray insecticide once a day, and emptied all the edible things on the ship. Despite this, they can still sweep out a few sacks of rats every day, I really don't know what these things rely on to survive, after a few times, Shi Li of the Ministry of Chemical Industry even directly proposed to get a tank of chlorine gas and spray it directly from the ship, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
