"I mean, you can't be blindly pessimistic, everything has two sides, our attribute point distribution model may not have much advantage in terms of main attributes, in terms of a single attribute, it is indeed not as strong as others, but doesn't it also show from the side that the average distribution of our attribute points is very good, and the combat scenes adapted to are more extensive?" Takenaka then finished his opinion.

"There is some truth in what bamboo says. Lao Wang nodded and agreed: "But we never know how this bird space chooses people, to put it bluntly, does it need specific talents who are outstanding in a single aspect?

"The problem is too long-term, and I can only say that with the current data, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. The little guy concluded: "Because of the stage we are currently in, our strength is low, so the difference between the attribute values is also very small, so even if the enemy is higher than one of our individual attributes, this number will not exceed 10 points." ”

Takenaka's eyes rolled, and he further explained: "Uncle, think about it, when we fought against the Black Turban Pirates of the Drake Group, that guy's attribute conversion can be said to be amazing, but when we fight against it, isn't it not to the point of exhaustion? ”

"So should we continue to stick to our bonus line, or should we learn from other selectors to change their strategy and become more focused?" Mary asked, then looked at Takenaka and said, "What Takezhong said is that you don't have to be careful for the time being, that is, you still have to pay attention to it in the future, right?"

"That's right, Miss Mary, think about it, in the future, our attribute points will inevitably become hundreds or thousands, and at that time, a single attribute of different selectors, because of the different directions of the points, the difference in its value can reach hundreds or even hundreds of points, and when it reaches this order of magnitude, it is a factor that must be considered. Takenaka replied, "In the future, we will definitely have to face a choice." ”

"Well, anyway, it's okay for the time being, hundreds of attribute values are still far away from us, as far as the current situation is concerned, it's not too late to wait until we can get out of this trial world. Lao Wang groaned and cut off the topic and discussed.

He understood very well that it wasn't that what Takenaka said just now didn't make sense, but that there were still things they had to worry about in front of them right now.

When there are signs of appearing, it is naturally not advisable to let things go, and things can be done, and they must always be prioritized.

To put it simply, random space is a combination of strategy games and action games, which requires the selector to be sensitive, sharp with hands and feet, able to kill, and able to fight;

Everyone returned to their posts according to Lao Wang's orders, because the air race was still going on.

After the concentrated naval battle on the southern side of the island of Cuba, the contestants were indeed injured, so much so that during the subsequent voyage of the White Tulip around the island of Cuba, the Invincible Uncle team encountered almost no danger, in fact, let alone danger, even the other contestants did not encounter a few.

According to the route design of the contestants, after the end of the voyage around the island of Cuba, these surviving participants only need to pass through the Windward Channel and the Jamaica Channel again to be able to return to the starting and ending point of the race - the port of Royal.

These straits are old friends, and it is not unfamiliar to the contestants to cross them again, after all, this is the second time they need to pass through these two straits.

But when everyone finally arrived at the entrance of the strait, the contestants still found a very specific problem - the wind direction of the Xiangfeng Strait seemed a little weird, at least a little different from the first time they passed through.

Not only that, but the problem that had been ignored by everyone was also in front of all the participants at this time, this air race is time-limited, and now there are less than 16 hours left before the total time of the 3 days.

That is to say, the contestants basically have no time to think about how to cross the strait, nor do they have time to formulate a reasonable navigation plan, they can only plunge into the windward strait with complex hydrological conditions, and then rely on their own boat handling skills and adaptability to find a way out of the wind and waves.

It is a problem that all the contestants will encounter, Lao Wang and they are certainly not immune, the approach of time and the complicated sea situation are like a noose, instantly wrapped around everyone's neck, although there is no battle here, but the feeling of suffocation is even worse.

Suffocation is suffocation, things can't be left undone, Lao Wang simply took a look at the several alternatives provided by the automatic navigation skill of surveying, and immediately selected the one with the shortest time consumption, and did not dare to delay in entering the Windward Strait.

When they first entered the Windward Strait, the White Tulip took a total of 15 hours to pass, and the wind direction was not completely positive at that time, and it was always inevitable to be cautious when they entered the Strait for the first time, so it took them half a day to pass through this not very long channel.

But now the situation is different, if Lao Wang takes another 15 hours to pass through the strait, it is equivalent to giving up the race directly, even if the situation at sea is good, after passing through the Windward Strait, the White Tulip also needs to sail for at least another 2 hours to reach the port of Royal, so that the time is added, the shortest time they need becomes 17 hours, which is 1 hour more than the stipulated time at the end of the race.

The arithmetic is very clear here, Lao Wang and they must grab at least 1 hour in the voyage through the Windward Strait, so that they can run the whole race before the time arrives, but in the windy and turbulent Windward Strait, it is not a simple matter to grab time.

Looking back on the air race, in addition to deliberately controlling their speed at the beginning of the air race, Lao Wang and his team have been running as hard as they can in the subsequent races, and sometimes, they even go full speed at all costs.

But even so, they are ranked in the middle of the competition, and the ships after them have more to do if they want to complete the race within the allotted time.

Individuals have their own means, if the previous airline competition was focused on the combat part, from this moment on, all the participants in their right minds understood that the only focus of the airline race at this stage is the racing competition, to arrive at the port of Royal within the specified time, that's all!

In this situation, before entering the strait, Lao Wang first notified the Tulip sister ship and Ferdinand's round-bellied merchant ship with a flag, telling them to find a safer route back to Port Royal.

Then, Lao Wang also made a simple adjustment to the division of labor among the ship's personnel, the helm responsibilities of Takenaka remained unchanged, and Boss Tan withdrew from the position of the deck dignitary, and handed over the work of coordinating the sailors to his deputy.

As for Tan Liang himself, the work of the sail cable and mast is independent from the large piece of the deck, and Boss Tan is responsible for the elite sailors full-time, cooperating with the rudder to increase the speed, and strive to pass the Windward Strait as soon as possible.

There is also Mary, the work content of the beautiful reporter has also changed, the current stage of the air race will no longer involve much combat, Lao Wang is ruthless, and half of the sailors in the gun position who are in charge of the battle are transferred out to support the deck operation to ensure that the sailing speed is on a higher level, and Mary is naturally no longer responsible for the lookout and gun position, she is now on standby on the deck as a firefighter, and in case of any emergency, she will take the sailors to fill in first to ensure that the ship is safe.

Everyone has arranged the work, it does not mean that Lao Wang can be relaxed and happy, he is now the guide of the ship, the fine-tuning of the route, the direction of travel, all rely on him to correct at any time during the voyage, solve at any time, simply put, he is a director on the set, need to overall scheduling and adjust the overall situation, so look at it, his task can be said to be the heaviest.

"How did the wind change again?!"

It was the fifth hour since the White Tulip entered the Windward Strait, and Wang's face was covered with seawater, and his voice sounded very floaty in the storm of the Windward Strait, so Wang Mancang had to use all his strength to make the sailors on the ship hear.

At this moment, he needs the whole ship to work together, and the small area of communication on the team channel is somewhat unsuitable for the current situation, so he can only shout loudly and mobilize everyone to obey orders in the most traditional way.

"Admiral, the wind has indeed changed again, tsk! It's like an Amsterdam girl, very fickle! Ever since entering this damn strait, the wind has changed almost every hour, and the sail rope brothers have changed several times, but even so, everyone is still tired, the weather here is too torturous. The deck sailor of the White Tulip was closer to the old king, and when he heard his question, he immediately shouted back.

"Don't talk about that, if the pressure on the sail cable is too great, let the gun position go up to the top first, and tell Captain Alice that she knows what to do. The old king roared loudly, squinting at the sky covered with leaden clouds.

The current under-fighting situation in the Xiangfeng Strait must be arranged in random space, but the more so, the more we must hurry up and pass, risks and opportunities have always coexisted, and the current sea situation in the Xiangfeng Strait seems to be a random space to simply force the selectors to death, but in fact, Lao Wang found that in this kind of turbulent wind, there are joints to increase the speed of the ship hidden.

The phenomenon of turbulent winds, Lao Wang has actually been aware of it a long time ago, compared with the first time he passed through the strait, this turbulent wind has brought greater trouble to the ship, and the most intuitive reaction is what the deputy chief of the deck sailor said just now.

Because of the turbulent wind, the position of the sail cable must follow the wind direction in real time, and in this era, the adjustment of the sail cable is not easy, almost every adjustment, must require the participation of a large number of sailors, several positions work together, in order to adjust the sail position to the most suitable wind side, so as to obtain power.

In the long run, the sailors will be unable to bear it, and their work efficiency will decrease, and eventually they will only be more and more unable to keep up with the changes in the direction of the wind, and they will be tired of running, and the speed of the ship will naturally become slower and slower.

And the problem joint that Wang Mancang saw just now is in the change in wind direction.

After these few hours of sailing, Lao Wang found that there seems to be a certain law in the change of wind direction in the strait, and there are many changes in the wind direction in the navigation, theoretically speaking, the random space can be changed according to the 360 degree angle to make the wind direction more disgusting.

But after all, this space is still a little reasonable, if you really play like this, the boat will not have to run, Lao Wang found that the wind direction change in the Windward Strait is roughly limited to the four large surfaces of the southeast, northwest and north, and its order seems to be carried out in the counterclockwise order of north, west, south and east.

Judging from the nautical charts, Lao Wang's current target course is southeast, with the ultimate goal of entering the port of Royal, and from this point of view, the northwest wind is the most suitable wind direction for them to accelerate.

But according to the current change of wind direction, it is definitely unrealistic to get the northwest wind all the time, and when the wind direction changes to the southeast wind, the white tulip will also face a large headwind, and if the sail cable is not adjusted in time, the ship will have to make a circle.

In this way, they looked very positive and the sailors were tired and half dead, but what was the actual effect?

The world of trials is set in the 17th and 18th centuries during the Age of Sail, and it takes nearly 20 minutes to complete a change of direction of the sail cable, during which the ship can only sail by inertia, and the speed is very slow.

Wait until you finally change the direction, run less than 40 minutes before the wind direction changes again, well, no rut, brothers work harder, continue to follow the change, so the cycle repeats, the sailors are tired to death, the speed of the ship can not be raised, this is like the process of racing just add up the speed to step on the brakes, brake and then accelerate, do not add up and then brake, run not fast is certain, maybe the damage of the car is not small, no matter how you look at it can not run the race in a limited time.

"I don't think we can go with the wind like this anymore, we don't know how much time we waste adjusting our position, and if we continue like this, we won't be able to finish. Lao Wang cut the team channel and discussed with the members of the Invincible Uncle team.

"Don't you follow the trend, then we don't have the motivation, or let the sailors work harder, I'll put all the people in the gun position up, anyway, we don't need them now. Mary said anxiously.

"No, at home, manpower is limited, you put people up, the essence of the problem cannot be solved, and no one is left on the gun position, can we really feel at ease?" Lao Wang asked rhetorically: "Now the odds of fighting are one out of ten thousand, but what if we encounter it, how can we react?"

"So, what should I do?" asked Mary.

"I have an idea, but I can't do it that fast, I have to have someone to help me put together the numbers. Lao Wang Yan pointed out.

"Uncle, say it, I'll do it!"
