Chapter 313: Seascape Gillette
"Set sail!"
With Yi Bao's shout, the strange mainsail of the "Feiyan" quickly opened, and at the same time, the spinnaker on the long beam of the bow of the ship also slowly rose, and under the blowing of the northwest wind, it quickly left the dock of Ushishima in the direction of due north.
After two days of transformation, the "Feiyan" has become completely unknown to Yi Bao.
Two 3-meter-long wooden beams stretched out from the bow and stern of the boat, connecting the long wooden pontoons made on both sides, which was a method that Chu Fan came up with in order to reduce the draft - the buoyancy increased, and the draft was naturally shallow; The actual measurement resulted in a reduction of 30 centimeters!
The main sail was changed the most, the stiff sail covered with bamboo ribs was gone, replaced by the two-sided wing sail that Situ Xiong had prepared for the new 600-material ship, which was divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, both of which were 6 meters long and 8 meters high. Chu Fan's original design of the spinnaker was added by Situ Xiong with an inverted triangle of the same size, and the wind surface was increased by at least 60-70%!
The "Feiyan" ship is small, so the winged sails are mounted directly on the mainmast, which has become the strange appearance of the current concave in the middle.
The mainsail is also not complicated to retract: the top two inverted triangles can be retracted when acceleration is not required, and the bottom two spinnals can also be folded and retracted when moored.
In addition to the quirky mainsail, the spinnaker was also used for the first time on an old ship, for which EPRO also transferred four sailors from other ships who had learned how to operate soft sails on the Golden Phoenix.
With the addition of these four sailors, the total number of people in charge of the boat is nine, thanks to the use of a large number of pulleys - a number of fixed pulleys are placed at the top of the mainmast and the top of the beam.
In addition to the sailors, there was a three-person reconnaissance team led by Bi Laozhuan - Zhao Hai attached great importance to this reconnaissance mission, not only sent Bi Laozhuan, who had been promoted to the captain of the third reconnaissance team, but also equipped him with Hailan Bao and another team member who was fluent in Korean, which can be said to have made a bloody investment.
The "Feiyan" sailed in a northerly direction for half an hour before turning due west. The cow island in the distance has turned into a line, and Yi Bao looks at the snow-white waves ploughed out by the bow of the wooden pontoon, and his heart is full of shock!
After all the transformations of his "Dawn" were done, he felt that it was already very fast, but compared with the current "Feiyan", it was still a little worse - just looking at the waves ploughed from the bow of the ship!
That's the speed. Yi Bao has more confidence in his heart: when he encounters a pirate ship, he will run, anyway, when it comes to running, the other party will not be able to outrun his own no matter what, regardless of the wind and headwind; If you really can't run, you can drill into the middle of the island - the draft of the "Feiyan" is much shallower, and even the reef-covered waters dare to break through.
Even if you hit the rocks, you are not afraid - the boat is small and easy to repair, anyway, there are enough spare materials on board.
Facing the howling northwest wind, Yi Bao was full of confidence and set his eyes on the endless sea ahead, and he thought in his heart about the sea near Jeolla Province in the north of Jeju Island. It's Choi Dabeard's territory, which is also the most powerful pirate along the North Korean coast, I wonder if this guy's lair is still on Niu'er Island west of Sin'an County?
Just thinking about it, he inadvertently turned around, but was taken aback.
I saw a fluffy guy standing behind him, and he couldn't even see his face - what the hell is this?
After calming down the fear in his heart, Yi Bao looked carefully. As soon as he looked at the figure, he knew who it was. Sure enough, after the other party took off the hood, Hailan Pao's smiling face with yellow teeth was revealed.
Yi Bao had never seen such a strange outfit, and he couldn't help but observe it curiously, only to see that Hailan Bubble's body was full of strips of cloth, and most of them were black. There are some strips of white cloth in between, and many stripes of green in different shades; To make matters even more bizarre, there was a lot of seaweed and moss tied to the strip of cloth, as well as broken pieces of wood.
"Childe, what is this called......" Seeing his surprised expression, Bi Laozhuan, who was leaning on the railing and smoking next to him, lazily explained. Oh yes, Gillette, hey, I really don't understand why Childe has some inexplicable names! ”
Yi Bao looked up and down around Hailan Bubble, but his mouth was not idle, "What's the use of this thing?" …… Isn't it too tiring to wear such a hammer? …… Could it be that this is the son who is upside down again? ”
"It's not good!" Bi Laoshuan's eyes were immediately full of mockery, and he puffed out a thick flue, "What's the use?" I'll tell you, it's very useful! What Childe invented, can it still be useless? Hey~~ The last time we scouted the Liu family's mansion, the big water of the dog * day was wearing this Gillette suit, and even Lao Zhao was deceived, what do you say? …… I told you, after I got this Gillette suit yesterday, I let this fool wear it on the beach by the dock, and guess what? ”
Yi Bao's curiosity was completely aroused, and he craned his neck and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There are a lot of people coming and going, and none of them found out that it was this fool!" Bi Lao shyly flicked the cigarette butt in his hand into the sea, and said with a smile, "I thought it was a stone!" Whoever on your boat, the one in charge of the sails, pulled me and asked me why such a large stone had washed ashore! Hahaha, I couldn't straighten my waist with a smile! ”
Yi Bao's eyes widened, and he looked up and down again at Hailan who was following the silly music, with an incredible look on his face, "Wouldn't it?!" Is this thing so godly? ”
Bi Laozhuan pursed his lips, glanced at Yi Bao with a hillbilly look, and said lightly, "Believe it or not, you will know how divine it is in two days...... Childe can say, this is what he specially sewed for us to scout this time, what is it called...... Seascape! Seaview Gillette suit! Hey! …… There are only three sets, one for each of us! ”
While talking and laughing, the "Feiyan" had already swept over the north of Jeju Island, and from a distance you could see Jeju City, which had turned into a small black line.
At this moment, in an alley diagonally opposite the Yamen of Jeju City Pastor, the sound of crackling firecrackers is ringing non-stop.
In the flashing flames, the fluttering trick of "Cui Ji Bean Soup Cold Noodles" is fluttering in the wind.
After a while, the 10,000 firecrackers were finally released, and the neighbors who had been gathered outside for a long time stepped over the confetti-covered ground with a smile and a smile on their bags, and walked into the spacious storefront, which was immediately filled with Korean with a Jeju accent.
The four shopkeepers, who had been cleaned up, carried wooden trays of cold noodles covered with large pieces of beef to each table—except for the white scarf around their waists, they were dressed exactly like their neighbors.
However, if someone has sharp eyes and looks closely, the dumb shop boy who can only "ahh
The shopkeeper is a thin man in his thirties with no beard under his chin, and in the slender sockets of single eyelids, a pair of black and white eyes are always turning around, and it seems that there is no time to stop.
However, most of the guests' eyes only swept over him, focusing more on the smiling and glamorous proprietress beside him.
There were more and more customers, and the store soon couldn't sit down, so the tables, chairs and benches were moved to the open space in front of the store, and the shopkeeper followed him to the outside of the store.
"Ding ding~~"
The sound of tapping on the iron plate sounded leisurely, and an old man with a big basket on his back and ragged clothes shouted weakly and slowly approached.
Hearing this shout, a glimmer of essence flashed in the shopkeeper's slender eyes, and he stepped in front of the old man in a few steps, and greeted him with a smile in a pure Korean dialect.
"This old man is polite, the shop opened today, and a special flowing water seat was prepared to entertain the neighbors...... Old man, enjoy your face! (To be continued.) )
