What will the blind Falconi and the big Ivan discuss next, let's not talk about it for the time being, and turn the perspective back to the White Tulip.

If you want to talk about this ship, it can be regarded as unlucky, since the new factory, it has not lived a good life of calm and waves, and it can be said that it has suffered a lot of hardships with Lao Wang.

From the North Sea to the Leviathan's fuel, from the Atlantic to the strange waves of the Caribbean, she is also a seasoned and experienced type in the ship circle, but Rao is so, this "veteran of a hundred battles" still can't have a break now, and still struggles to continue her mission, because she still needs to help Lao Wang continue to run the rest of the voyage.

The position of the White Tulip at this time was already properly located in the first half of the Mona Strait, because of the success of Wang Mancang's sailing plan, although the ship had withstood a great test, but when it entered the Mona Strait, the speed was very fast, and the sail was very small, which made their speed and attitude very good.

Compared to other competitor boats with full sails and low speeds, a severely shifted center of gravity, and a shaky hull, the White Tulip resembles a sturdy gazelle, slitting past the toddler buffalo with brisk steps, leaving only an angry trail.

Speaking of which, Lao Wang is indeed a duty person who pursues low-key survival, but he is not a mediocre talent, and the response is not small, not to mention that he has attracted everyone's attention, at least the guys who have been overtaken by them have sorted out their eyes and are ready to re-recognize this ship that has not been taken to heart.

"Bamboo, do we have that kind of data similar to real-time rankings here?" The boat line was relatively stable, and Lao Wang settled down and began to pay attention to the rankings.

"Uncle, the space doesn't give anything like that, but I can roughly get a result according to the distribution of the beacons of the selectors, our location... Around the middle and back of the entire line, if you estimate the exact number, I think it should be around 220, plus or minus 10, but I'm sorry, the exact value can't be smaller. Takenaka replied.

The little guy is very spiritual, and will never throw a dry "no" or "no" to the final conclusion to Lao Wang.

When things are unsatisfactory, he often puts forward alternative plans at the first time, even if he can't fully achieve the goal he is satisfied with, he can temporarily save an emergency, which is especially appreciated by Lao Wang.

"Well, I see, that's a good estimate, oh, by the way, what will this data channel look like when we pass through the Mona Strait?"

The little guy continued to calculate for a while, and replied to him: "According to our current speed, assuming that 30% of the strong men in the second echelon can catch up with our position, then, our ranking after passing through the Mona Strait should be around 180, of course, the plus or minus is still that big." ”

"Stinky boy. Lao Wang shook his head and said: "Sometimes you don't be coquettish and don't eat something made by your uncle, I really think you are a recharged robot!" Mary and Tan Liang's approving chuckles came at the same time, diluting the tension of the thrilling voyage just now.

"In that case, I'm not a complete robot yet. Takenaka picked up the joke and continued, "At least I can't predict what Uncle's next sailing plan will be after passing through the strait. ”

"Yes, since that's it. Mary said: "How should we plan our next voyage, Lao Wang is going to talk about it." ”

"Hey, you think, I can't even guess the bamboo, what other reason can there be?" Lao Wang asked rhetorically, and then said mockingly: "It's because I haven't paid attention to it now, so while we are relatively safe in the surge area now, let's sum up and look at the light curtain!"

As soon as Lao Wang said a word, the remaining three people called up their own information light curtains, looked at the routes marked by different colors on it, and asked in unison: "This is an alternative plan?"

"Yes, that's it, you see..."

"Please wait a minute, uncle!" Takenaka rarely interrupted Lao Wang's words and said: "Although it is rude, I still want to know, when did the uncle draw these lines, and if we want to talk about the plan to enter the Mona Strait, we have witnessed it with our own eyes, and it can still be completed in a short time, but now how long has it been since we entered the strait, how can the uncle make so many alternatives? Can you know the route in advance?"

"Okay, I know you have questions, I'll just say that, I've all used smartphones, right?"

"Does Uncle mean that these routes are all set in random space for us to choose?" Takenaka was a little surprised, when did random space become so kind.

"Not really, it's only a feature that can be turned on by people with surveying skills, and I promise, I didn't have it before.

It's just that, after I just completed the maneuver into the Mona Strait, my surveying technique has the function of automatically selecting the path and planning the route, tsk, like I said, it is completely automatic navigation software. Lao Wang sighed.

"This is great, it can indeed bring us a lot of advantages, it takes a lot of time to formulate a route in the air race, after all, we can't always rely on the old king god to make a stroke, every time like entering the Mona Strait, right?" Mary was impressed by the new expansion of the sailing skills, and immediately said.

"That's for sure, but through this, we can also know that the random allocation of seafaring skills can be advanced. Takenaka paid more attention to the deeper things and said: "If the navigation skills of the few people left of us can be advanced, then how big will the effect be, can Miss Mary shoot the flowering shell, or can she increase the range and initial velocity of the cannon projectile, which is not a little bit of an advantage in naval warfare." ”

"Don't think about it so much, I don't know how to advance, but according to the urine just now, it should be a routine of accumulating experience through difficult operations. Lao Wang put forward his point, and then turned the topic back and said: "But whether the automatic formulation of this route is reliable or not, I don't know yet." ”

"Even so, but give it a try, it's always possible!" Takenaka looked at the charts carefully, and his voice in the team channel became serious.

"Tell me. Lao Wang and the little guy don't need to talk much to reach a tacit understanding now, and when they heard that the little guy had ideas to discuss, they naturally responded.

"I'll paraphrase my uncle, our itinerary is a rally, and it's necessary to do the right thing at the right stage, everyone look at the charts. "After we pass through the Mona Strait, the next stage we enter is along the second long straight channel north of Hispaniola, which is technically outside the Caribbean.

Because of the break-through of the island chain, the waters are wide and the waves are small, but the wind speed is impressive, compared to the Mona Strait where we are located, it is a paradise for sailing. ”

Takenaka habitually set aside more time for the team members to digest in between speeches, and after confirming that there was no objection, he continued: "The water area with such characteristics is suitable for training, and even if there is a problem with the automatic navigation route, we can also correct it in time, so it is just used to test the bottom force of the uncle's automatic navigation system, and to see the effect, it is also decided whether we should invest time to improve everyone's navigation skills." ”

"Yes, Takenaka and I thought about it together. Mary echoed, and Boss Tan, he would only speak out when he was opposed, and he remained silent in the team channel, which meant that he also supported.

"That's right. Lao Wang clapped his hand, and then asked: "Which of these routes do you choose, do you have any points in your heart?"

"This is not my specialty, uncle can come. Takenaka smiled slyly.

"This bear child. Lao Wang also smiled, and then said: "In this way, from the perspective of surveying, the route that is too close to the shore has large wave feedback, and the bump is not conducive to acceleration; ”

"Uncle's decisions have always been reliable. The little old king in the bamboo said.

"Alright, let's not talk about this blowing and beating scene between us, let's go through the Mona Strait first. Lao Wang walked to the helm and gently patted Zhuzhong on the shoulder.

The rest of the voyage was thrilling, and the White Tulip was like a flower in the breeze, dancing with the waves of the Mona Strait, and the large shaking made the sailors who had lived at sea all year round gradually show signs of seasickness.

Not only them, but even as selectors, Takenaka and Mari, who have relatively low physical strength attribute points, are pale and mentally depressed.

However, they did not dare to relax, because the number of other contestants on the route gradually increased.

Lao Wang and the others were brought to the direction of the east side of Hispaniola Island by the principle of artificial slingshots, and after the correction of the rudder position, it was equivalent to sailing on the east coast of the island.

In order to be able to enter the bend at as high speed as possible, many of the contestants choose a relatively large turning arc when cutting into the Mona Strait, so that their routes are generally close to the west side of the strait, that is, they sail on the west side of Puerto Rico, the opposite island of Hispaniola, and they happen to be in the two pairs of doors in the strait.

The strait is wide, but the two sides can still see each other, just like Takenaka expected, the white tulip overtook along the road, successfully in the first echelon of participants, gradually pulling back the ranking.

Even more noteworthy are the participants in the second echelon, who not only have the thinking of a strong man, but also have the strength of a strong man, at least in the field of navigation, they perform very well.

These powerhouses are getting closer to the first echelon of competitors in the Mona Strait bend, and some of them with special sea vessels have even begun to overtake the competitors at the end of the first echelon.

What Wang Mancang could only do with his own life and the ship's life, they seemed to have completed it easily.

Lao Wang was surprised to find that compared with these contestants, the white tulip's unambiguous body was really a little shabby, and in his observation, there were no less than 4 large battleships that already had the prototype of a sail battleship, and they went out of the crowd.

They took advantage of their tonnage advantage to forcibly suppress the waves with full sail open, moving forward at a relatively stable speed, while the waves squeezed out by the huge hull made the waves around them even more unstable, and there were not a few ships affected.

However, when the people on the ship who were about to attack took a closer look at the opposite ship, the forty or fifty gun windows on one side at every turn, and the complaints about the "overship" could only be swallowed silently.

In addition to those who speak in terms of displacement, there are also various ships with strange tactics, and they are also achieving their goals through strange means.

For example, there are multi-powered ships with full sails folded and propelled by paddle wheels, and it can be determined that there were no steam engines in this era, and this kind of large paddle wheels, if nothing else, should be human-driven.

In addition, Lao Wang also met the contestants who drove large fish forward, although he didn't know that these creature charms did not match the word "boat" in the boat, but he thought that the use of creatures to compete should not be prohibited.

Moreover, the sharp-eyed Mary even found a sneaking track under the sea, and the lookout of this era generally does not pay attention to the underwater track, and it is thanks to modern people like Mary that they have discovered the traces of submarine vehicles, which shows that some contestants have used tools similar to submarines to sail, and they are aiming to use props, and the identities of these people can already be locked as selectors, and their strength should not be low.

The heroes of the world are really not to be underestimated!

Lao Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the guys who were able to survive the previous mission of this trial world were really a top powerhouse, and they really didn't know what to think about fighting and competing with them.

"Admiral, we're about to get to the exit of the Mona Strait!" shouted Takenaka from the helm, not only telling Lao Wang, but also letting the sailors of the whole ship know about it, so he didn't go to the team channel, and shouted directly.

"What is the condition of the ship?" asked the old king loudly.

"The White Tulip is in good condition and able to sail normally, which has been diagnosed by the shipwrights, and there is no big problem. Tan Liang, as a deck dignitary, is a role similar to that of an office director, and miscellaneous things are on him, and when he heard Lao Wang's question, he immediately replied.

"Young men?" asked Wang again.

"It's still a majestic man with courage, and he can drive the ship directly into the lava of hell!" Boss Tan replied exaggeratedly, this way of boosting morale is not to tell the truth, but a common metaphor at sea.

"Okay, give me the left full helm at the helm, and we'll start sailing along the north side of Hispaniola..."

"Boom ~ boom!"

After all, some people couldn't get used to seeing Lao Wang, and they were too far ahead in the corner, so they shot angrily.
