Chapter 344: The Big Ship That Lost Control (2/2)
Now, although the war is over, the territory of the human race is still not unified, and it can still be regarded as a troubled era.
In troubled times, there will be all kinds of forces.
The Gu family, where Gu Jing is located, is a large force in Jing Kingdom, and it is not as simple as those families in the past.
Huang Si taught him to improve the telescope, but because the telescope technology is quite important to the human race today.
Once unified, they can manage to explore overseas.
As for the rest, Huang Si didn't want them to get involved. For example, the other direction of the telescope is to look at the stars.
But the study of astronomy is not what should be done in this era.
They have some superficial observational experience, so let them accumulate it slowly. It was only at the end of the Middle Ages, in the Age of Enlightenment, that they began to study the trajectories of the stars on their own.
The planks of the sailboat did not stop him from observing, and Huang Si leaned against a pile of cargo, looking at the sky.
The sky is gloomy and the stars are not visible.
"False stars, but the trajectory works according to the principles of mechanics."
If the Terrans here want to study celestial mechanics, they may not be able to do so.
If Huang Si can go out one day, he will take them out as well.
Under the real cosmic starry sky, they will confirm what they have learned at that time.
Day 3.
Gu Jing talked to Huang Si in the cabin.
His attitude was extremely respectful, as if the person sitting in front of him was not a junior who was about the same age as his son and nephew, but an elder who needed his respect.
Huang Si still has no manners at all.
He replied casually with a word or two as he ate what was on the boat.
Because of the change in the attitude of Gu Jing and the captain, the sailors also treated him better.
The cook even took out the delicious food at the bottom of the box and invited Huang Si to eat.
Huang Si is quite comfortable here.
There is even a feeling of being overjoyed.
If Gu Jing hadn't talked to him about geography and the sea from time to time, he would have almost lost his mind why he got on this boat.
Another day passed.
On the fourth day, before I knew it, the shaking of the hull slowly increased.
You can still faintly hear the wind outside.
In the afternoon, Gu Jing finally couldn't sit still.
There were sailors and captains shouting outside, and it seemed a bit of trouble.
He left the cabin and went to the deck.
As soon as he went up, a fierce sea breeze rushed in his face, blowing his neck and cheeks cold.
"What a wind, what a wave."
Gu Jing looked at the sea, the sea that had been slightly choppy before, had become undulating at this time.
The waves are rolling on the surface of the sea, and it is estimated that they will soon catch up with the ship.
"Hey-hoo, hey-hoo......"
A barrage of slogans.
He looked to his side, and saw the sailors take out a very slender row of oars and paddle hard in the sea, trying to steer the direction of the ship.
And the sails that used to be before are now half-retracted.
The wind is strong.
In this case, there is no need for a full sail.
Gu Jing took a few steps on the deck, and the deck shook violently.
Some sailors saw him and shouted at him:
"Mr. Gu! Let's go back! It's windy and unsafe right now! ”
Gu Jing shook his head and said:
"It's okay, I can protect myself!"
Gu Jing stood on the deck and watched for a while.
As the sky grew darker, the wind grew stronger.
The wind wrapped around the sea, and it rained down on the boat.
In a few moments, the deck was completely soaked with seawater.
Some sailors hurriedly brought tarpaulins to cover the hatches of the ship to prevent the water from backing up.
Gu Jing slowly walked to the bow of the boat on the deck, looking at the rough sea in the distance, and was a little worried about his son in the cabin.
Gu Qian estimated that he would have to vomit again......
Thinking about it, he suddenly thought of Huang Si again.
This person......
Although occasionally they come up to the deck.
However, he must not be a fisherman.
On his body, there is no trace of begging for a life by the sea for a long time.
However, he doesn't seem to have any curiosity about the sea.
Although it is not the first time for Gu Qian and Gu Yu to go to sea, as long as the two of them are in good health, they will run out to watch the sea and watch the sailors fish.
They watched every fish in the nets with great interest, and if they caught something odd, they would scream with excitement.
However, Huang Si did not have this curiosity at all.
He even spent most of the time in the small cabin he was assigned to and did not come out.
However, Gu Jing could only suppress his desire to explore.
He subconsciously felt that it was better not to ask too much, that would be too rude.
"Mr. Gu!"
The captain shouted below.
"The boat is a little out of control! Come down! It's all dangerous outside! ”
Gu Jing looked back.
The sails have been completely unloaded.
Even the sailors who had been rowing before had mostly put away their oars and entered the cabins.
"What's wrong?"
The wind was loud, the waves were louder, and Gu Jing could only shout loudly.
"It's too windy! The waves push the boat away! We can't control the direction anymore! ”
The cabin was filled with voices of worry and fear.
The sailors were talking.
The captain caressed them.
Tani descended the bow of the boat on a wooden staircase.
The stairs were already completely soaked and the top was very slippery.
Gu Jing's internal force sank, and he stabilized his footsteps so as not to slip.
At the same time, three or two quickly stepped over the steps and came to the belly of the boat.
The sea breeze grew more and more violent.
The hull of the ship shook, and his long knotted hair was blown away, and his hat was blown away in the wind.
Gu Jing stopped the long hair flying with his hand and looked around.
Heaven and earth have been completely blurred. The light was dim, and you could barely see the wind sweeping the grey waves, obscuring most of the view.
The sea broke up into countless droplets, and it hit the deck in waves.
"This is the biggest sea breeze I've ever seen in my life!"
A sailor roared hoarsely in the wind.
"Mr. Gu! Hurry back to the cabin! There's no way to treat people up there! ”
There were also sailors shouting at him.
"Okay!"
Gu Jing shouted.
His heart was full of worry.
Abandoning the upper deck means that, in the captain's judgment, manpower is no longer of any use.
I can only resign myself to fate, and let the sea breeze and waves push the boat away.
If there is any danger at this time......
Gu Jing shook his head.
He walked forward, holding the side of the ship by hand, and it wasn't long before he came to the hatch.
Someone opened the flap inside.
Gu Jing was about to get in, but found that someone had come out of it.
It's Huang Si.
How did he come out on his own in this weather?
With the indifferent attitude he has shown in his life, he shouldn't care too much about anything?
Gu Jing was about to ask something, but he saw that behind Huang Si, the captain appeared again.
At this time, Huang Si had already gotten out of the cabin and stood in the pouring sea and the storm.
The captain poked his head out and asked him:
"Mr. Huang, is this method really feasible?"
"Yes, the wind and waves are so strong now, if not, the ship will capsize sooner or later, and only this method can ensure that the ship is stable in the big waves."
