Chapter 135: Mysterious Island
Due to the extra weight of several hundred kilograms, the balance arm extended down three or four meters, the center of gravity is more stable than before, and now the speed has exceeded 50 knots, climbing more than 20 meters of surges, and even rushing out of the storm area, it is no longer a problem at all.

However, there are two deadly threats to this crazy behavior -
At such a fast speed, whether the sails will be torn apart, and whether the hull will be subjected to such a strong load, no one can predict, everything can only depend on the luck of Hu Xiaodao.
The diameter of this storm cloud is only about 200 nautical miles, that is, it is only more than 100 nautical miles from the central typhoon eye.
Theoretically, it would only take five or six hours to traverse the entire storm area, even at a speed of 40 knots!
When Hu Xiaodao came in, one of the reasons why he floated in it for more than ten hours before he encountered the eye of the typhoon in the center was that he was lost.
The ship's satellite navigation equipment, isolated by the atmospheric electronic field in the storm cloud mass, could not provide an effective bearing, causing the sailboat to gradually lose its direction in the process of adjusting the bow and constantly hitting the waves.
Of course –
The factor of trek is very small, and the main problem is...... The boat capsized!
Unable to control the direction by himself, he could only let the waves push and frustrate like a toy, accounting for four-fifths of all the time.
This time the boat rushed out of the remaining half of the journey, and as long as the sailboat did not turn over, according to normal logic, it should take much less time.
And yet—
Hu Xiaodao drove the sailboat, at a speed of 50 knots, and after fighting the wind and waves for nearly four hours, he still did not break out of the storm clouds, and was still in this dark and violent world.
After more than two hours of sailing, I couldn't finish it in four hours, and the problem is already clear-
It seems, as if, I have lost my course again!
With the current high-speed extreme sailing mode, although the risk of capsizing is reduced, the fatigue and wear of the sailboat are very serious.
If it can't get out of the typhoon cloud area as soon as possible, how long the "Riding the Wind and Waves" can last, Hu Xiaodao has no bottom in his heart.
It's a tragic thing!
It turns out that in the face of the terrifying roar of nature, the instinctive sense of direction of human beings is useless at all!
However, at this critical juncture!
A surge more than 10 meters high struck, and when the sailboat was emitting all kinds of abnormal noises and climbed up the waves, Hu Xiaodao inadvertently saw that a light flashed in front of the bow at 10 o'clock.
Before he could make a quick discernment, the sailboat slid down the waves, and the lights disappeared from view.
The nautical knowledge loaded into the system made him keenly aware that the light that appeared just now was definitely not an illusion, it must be a real thing.
And in this stormy cloud, it can transmit a few nautical miles of light, either a searchlight on a large freighter or a lighthouse on an island.
Large freighters laden with cargo should not venture into the storm zone for safety reasons, but the possibility of some accidents cannot be ruled out.
If it is a lighthouse, it proves that the location of the lighthouse must be an inhabited island, and it is very likely that a sheltered harbor has been built on this island.
According to Hu Xiaodao's current situation, it will help him-
Just a lighthouse, not a large freighter!
In order to determine the specific source of the light, Hu Xiaodao tried to adjust the direction of the sailboat and sailed towards ten o'clock.
"Bang! Squeak, Kaka......"
With a shrill noise, the sailboat climbed up a wave more than ten meters high again, and the distant lights appeared in sight at the same time.
Although the lights are constantly changing between light and dark, the position is very fixed, and there is no sign of being pushed by the waves!
"If it is the searchlight of a cargo ship, it must be swaying with the hull of the ship, and the color is mostly white, but the position where this red light appears has always been stable, and there must be an island in front. If I had sailed over and docked at the island's harbor, I should have been able to defuse the current crisis. ”
Secretly made up his mind, Hu Xiaodao did not hesitate, and immediately adjusted the direction of the voyage and headed towards the position of the light.
The lighthouse standing on the sea is usually composed of a lamp and a tower body, and the lamp is composed of two basic parts: a luminaire and a light emitter.
The range of the lighthouse can reach about 30 nautical miles, and the intensity of the light can reach hundreds of millions of candles. Lights include flashing, fixing, and bright, and dark, among others. There are three types of light colors: red, white, and green, and they are usually exchanged with red and green light, indicating that there is an obstacle in the arc of light.
If it's always flashing red, then the meaning is very clear-
Stationary docking!
Whether this island with a red lighthouse belongs to a private island or the territory of a certain country, Hu Xiaodao at this time did not think about it at all.
It doesn't matter whose island you are, I'll stop for a moment!
In the live broadcast room with only the ship light source, needless to say, the interface must be very dim, but through Hu Xiaodao's head-mounted live broadcaster, the front lens installed on it, the audience can still clearly see the turning of the sailboat, as well as the red light in the distance.
"The lost child has finally found the direction of home, congratulations, there should be applause here."
"The situation is not optimistic now, and there is no need to hold on all the time, it is indeed a good idea to find an island to hide."
Unable to be holy: "Ami Tofu, the big hanging cute girl blesses King Sao and hopes that he will reach the location of the island safely." ”
The island represents the land, and at the same time represents stability, perhaps its appearance has relieved the audience's original nervousness, and the content of these barrages is obviously much easier.
Due to the loud noises in the storm, it was very difficult to communicate with the audience, so Hu Xiaodao didn't pay too much attention to the barrage, and-
Although the sailboat is only about four nautical miles from the lighthouse, it is not easy to sail past the waves and the wind direction is so strong that it is difficult to control the direction of the sea.
Find the right wind, cut the angle, adjust the rudder, cross the waves, and hold on to the hull handle to prevent your body from being thrown overboard.
Continuous cyclic movements, high mental concentration, and the coordination of body and consciousness are indispensable!
After more than half an hour of difficult sailing!
Under the red light, a lighthouse thirty or forty meters high, seven or eight meters wide, pure white in appearance, and hexagonal in shape as a whole, appeared on the island more than 100 meters away.
There was only one last bit of distance left, and victory was in sight, Hu Xiaodao shook off the right hand that was frequently at the helm and was now a little swollen, and rushed forward with all his might.
However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred!
"Woo-woo-"
The undulating earth-shattering sirens instantly drowned out the sound of wind and waves, resounding throughout the island.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Several searchlights lit up throughout the island, all in one direction.
"I'll go, this ...... Is it in the wrong place? ”
Hu Xiaodao, who was shrouded in strong light, covered his eyes with his hands and pouted helplessly.
The familiar sound of the siren, the quick and unified response, where does this island belong, if Hu Xiaodao can't comprehend it, then his mercenary for so many years has really done it in vain.
