Chapter 101: Out of the Vortex (Part 2)
It turned out that the watchtower and the wheelhouse of the whole ship were all idle, and only Wang Daxing, the captain of the bare pole, was there.
Now the problem was troublesome, he ordered the two sailors to find a cabin, let Wang Daxing rest first, and at the same time let the sailors who were still following the order to speed up to stop their movements, and wait for him to change course, and then speed up with all his strength.
After all this, he hurried to the helm of the ship, hoping that everything was still in time, after all, if he was close to the eye of the storm, it was difficult to say whether he could turn around, maybe it was the line between life and death.
Before reaching the deck, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently from side to side, followed by a violent cracking sound of wooden planks.
Did you hit a reef? It wouldn't be so unlucky, would it?
I hope that the hull of the ship is not flooded, otherwise even if it can survive by then, it can only swim or float to Dongying, there is no rescue ship in this era, and in this case, with their own swimming skills, the problem is not big, Su Yuan, Yuhuan, and Xu go to them will be dangerous.
He no longer walked the steps carefully, and even if he slipped accidentally, he continued to climb forward without hesitation, and soon returned to the deck.
The sky was even darker, and the prototype of the tornado, which had been seen from afar, had already taken up half of the field of vision, and it seemed to be fully formed.
Soon, a large whirlpool appeared in the distant sea, and even if the sailors stopped accelerating over the weekend, the hull continued to roll into it by inertia.
On the weekend, he half-climbed and half-walked, and with great difficulty reached the rudder at the stern, and at a moderate speed, he made a circle vigorously, and hit the right full rudder.
The "rudder", attached to the outside of the hull, uses the fluid power acting on the rudder blades when the ship is sailing, so as to control the course of the ship.
The ship's U-turn was similar to that of a car, but it was much slower, and the direction of the ship was only halfway when the tornado was getting closer, but fortunately, the sailors in the bilge were all journeymen, and they felt that after the rudder turned over the weekend, they immediately turned full power and pushed the hull.
However, it seems that human power can no longer stop the tornado, and the large whirlpool in the center of the eye of the storm, the ship is gradually approaching the center of the storm, and the suction of the wind can already be felt by the weekend, and can only firmly hold the railing next to the rudder.
He began to worry about Su Yuan and Yuhuan in the room, and he didn't know if they were thinking about him now, no, he definitely couldn't just give up, and he suddenly remembered a method he had heard before, and now since there was no way to break free from the vortex, he could only use the power of the vortex to throw their ship out.
But to do this, there has to be an excellent point, that is, all the oars are pushed at the same time to break free from the vortex. If you miss this point, you will only be swallowed up by the storm, and each one depends on the destiny of heaven.
At the end of the week, I began to carefully observe the trajectory of the vortex, and at the current visual speed, it should take another 1 to 2 minutes, which is the water flow area of the vortex and must be entered.
In addition, there is another very important problem to be solved, because he must grasp the direction of the hull, so there must be someone to inform the sailors in the cabin when to start exerting force.
At this moment, a rolling figure rushed on the deck, it was Wang Daxing, who had woken up.
"Great!" Weekend joy.
After Wang Daxing arrived in front of him, he hurriedly handed over the rudder to him and said, "Captain Wang, I am not very good at running a ship, so this task will be entrusted to you, and now the fate of the entire ship is in your hands." ”
Then he pointed out the water, and said to Wang Daxing, "I want you to fill the left full rudder when the ship reaches that area, and then follow the direction of the current, and come out of this whirlpool together." ”
Wang Daxing rolled all the way, his brain was a little dizzy, he had just woken up, and his spirit was not very good, but when he saw the eye of the storm so closely, his heart was in his throat, and his spirit immediately fought, he wanted to let the weekend continue to be at the helm, he didn't know what the weekend was thinking, if it was a mistake, he was the sinner of the whole ship.
Knowing that he wanted to refuse, he didn't give him time to react at all, and went directly to the bilge to "climb", and now the whole ship is so swaying that it is a very difficult thing to even stand.
Wang Daxing watched the weekend enter the cabin and disappear, and had to silently cheer himself up, "I can do it!" If you want to take my ship, even if it's God! ”
Then his hand, clasping the rudder tightly, kept his eyes on the waters of the weekend.
The bottom of the cabin is windowless, and the outside scene is completely invisible, and the direction of the hull can only be discerned by relying on people's sense of direction, which means that the fate of the entire ship has now been completely put into the hands of Wang Daxing.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't feel the change of direction of the hull over the weekend, but the friction between the woods became louder and louder, and it was clear that it was getting closer and closer to the whirlpool.
Weekend was secretly anxious, if he missed that opportunity, there was no way he could get out of the storm zone.
Minutes and seconds passed.
At this time, it was completely too late to go back outside to replace Wang Daxing.
Just when I was about to grit my teeth and ask for help from the pit daddy's system on the weekend, finally, the ship changed direction!
He hurriedly shouted to all the sailors in the power cabin who were barely standing, "Give me all the thrust!" ”
The bilge shook much more vigorously than on the deck, and the sailors, hearing his anxious voice, and realizing the seriousness of the matter, hurriedly pushed the ship's oars with all their might.
The oars were quickly turning, and the weekend continued to cheer on the sidelines, allowing the sailors to keep pushing.
Slowly, the sound of the planks touching the waves became quieter, and Weekend realized that everyone had successfully escaped the storm zone, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to the sailors, "Just rest and maintain your normal speed!" ”
Then he turned and ran to the deck.
By the time we got to the deck for the weekend, it was dark, but the clamor of the storm was already behind the ship, getting farther and farther away.
Yuhuan and Su Yuan felt the gradual stabilization of the hull, and at this time they also walked out of the room, came to the side of the weekend, hugged him with tears on their faces, and said in unison, "We heard the creaking sound of the boat in the room, so scared, Brother Zhou just left us." ”
They all know that they have the ability to leave in an instant on the weekend.
Weekend also stretched out his arms, hugged the second daughter, and comforted, "I won't just be separated from you, it's okay, we have escaped from the storm area, if we don't die, there will be a blessing in the future." ”
And Wang Daxing sat at the stern of the boat, looking at the distant storm area, and suddenly laughed from the bottom of his heart, he had never done such an exciting thing, after experiencing this incident, his confidence returned again, he would not give up again, and he would definitely inherit and carry forward the family business.
He turned his head, looked at the weekend on the deck, and whispered to himself, "Thank you, Master Zhou, it was you who made me regain my confidence." ”
