The wind was still raging, and the waves were still beating against the hull.

Without light, we don't know if it's day or night.

The constant jolting made some of the poorly adapted sailors vomit, and the cafeteria, infirmary, training room, and rest room were also in shambles.

From fear to habit, it often takes a complete process.

The storm came violently, and it went simply.

By the time people had become accustomed to the irregular bumps and thunder, the clouds and rain had dissipated and the sea had returned to calm, as if everything had been a dream.

Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's a few days, and the red sun hangs over the sky.

Three warships and one is not a lot, which is a great luck.

Repairs to the ship's power room began, the boatswain arranged for crews to repair the area on deck, and medical staff struggled to treat the wounded.

As a result of the storm, 16 people were killed, 128 were injured and 36 were missing.

Although there is enough preparation and sufficient training before going to sea, when danger comes, it is still vulnerable and vulnerable.

Da Gaoqiang signed the "Logbook" with a heavy heart.

There is little damage to the interior of the ship, and most of the locations have parts replaced.

The area on the deck is different, there are more woodwork, and after experiencing the impact of the waves, some locations have varying degrees of damage, and these are not spare.

Looking at the desolation, the people who lived the rest of their lives after the catastrophe were not in a good mood.

"Thoroughly investigate the cause of the mainsail jam, and I'll see a detailed report before dinner. ”

"Yes, Commander. ”

The Navigator had made his preparations and began to study the cause of the accident.

"Head, this is the cable that was torn off after the mast broke, you see here. ”

The ropeman handed the short rope to the navigator, and there was obvious rust at the break.

"It's ...... Rust. ”

When I twisted it with my hand, the dark red powder adhered to my hand, and it smelled of blood.

"Navigator, have you found the reason for the jam, so you don't have to be punished?"

When the other sailors heard this, they rushed over and stared nervously into the Navigator's eyes.

"Success can't cover up failure, merit can't cover up mistakes, mistakes are mistakes, I just hope that this lesson can make us grow, and the same mistakes won't be made a second time, so I'm grateful." ”

Everyone understands these truths, and the quality of professional soldiers is not bad, so after the atmosphere was dull for a while, they began to be active again.

"Captain, the mast of the supply ship has not been lost, it has been hanging on a cable and dragging it in the sea, the captain asked you to go over and take a look. ”

Putting down the raft, several people rowed towards the supply ship.

Once on deck, the navigator noticed that something was wrong with the mainmast in front of him.

The auspicious sail is raised and lowered through the guide trough of the main mast, and the wooden frame on the sail is equipped with a bearing in the middle, which is stuck in the guide trough.

The guide trough can be moved left and right, so that the direction of the sail can be adjusted at any time, and the wind can be used to move forward effectively.

On the half-section of the main mast in front of him, the guide trough has been deformed, and the interior is already rusty.

"It's rusty. ”

There was a circle of people around, and the root of the problem could not be found, and no one was at ease.

"Polishing the inner surface of the guide trough to see how deep the rust is. ”

Several sailors began to polish it with 20 mesh sandpaper from Kichiko.

The outer layer is very easy to polish, and it takes almost no great force to grind off the skin, and then it reveals a white metallic luster.

However, on the smooth surface, there are still many rust spots.

After about half a cup of tea, the dark red rust spots disappeared.

This result already shows a lot of things.

"Navigator, this~"

"This is my mistake, you don't need to comfort me, stick to your post. ”

The other two battleships were also inspected in turn, and the pulleys and bearings were covered with rust, and the balls could no longer turn.

Before dinner, the investigation report was handed over to Da Gaoqiang's desk.

The content is very simple: more than 20 days of full sail sailing, so that the pulleys and bearings do not get a chance to turn.

During this period, a light rain, coupled with the high humidity of the sea, the sea breeze was highly corrosive, causing the metal parts to rust.

After a long time, the rust increases, and the rust increases the friction, clogging the guide trough, causing the sail to get stuck and unable to descend.

This is the root cause of the incident.

Da Gaoqiang looked at the short lines of handwriting, and his heart was extremely heavy, he had an unshirkable responsibility for this accident.

This is a dangerous situation caused by human negligence, although the inspection form was signed, but he is sure that the inspector must have been lazy and perfunctory, only signed but did not carry out a substantive inspection.

After archiving the files of this incident, they were locked in a safe and waiting for verification by the technical department of the Navy Headquarters.

After another day, the outline of the land was still not visible, but everyone was not in a hurry.

The day before yesterday, in order to cope with the wind and waves, the ship changed its direction and moved a little easterly.

Now that the course has been realigned, land will be discovered by tomorrow at the latest.

The number of seabirds in the vicinity began to increase, which was where everyone's confidence lies.

On the Starlight Continent to the north, few people knew that the auspicious advance fleet had been setting off for a whole month.

The factories built with the help of auspiciousness are blooming everywhere.

Raw materials and semi-finished products are being shipped south.

The storage area of Hunan East Avenue began to expand, from west to east, along both sides of the avenue.

Temporary storage areas on both sides of the Xingyao River are also being built, followed by artificial canals on the Liuyin River, Jianye and Lianhua.

The Lyuin Shipyard has applied to the royal family to purchase a tidal flat at the mouth of the Lyuin River and plans to build a shipyard.

Wang Xuan has sent the application to the cabinet for their consideration.

Guo Wei's idea is very simple, now sea trade is the trend of the times, early entry into the game early to gain a firm foothold, and early to make a fortune. Just like he used to lay out Hedong, now it is harvest season.

The application clearly states that once approved, the Lyuin River Shipyard will be relocated to the estuary in its entirety.

After the construction of the new plant, it will concentrate on the development of large container carriers.

The current Lyuin shipyard produces small container carriers, so they have enough confidence in this regard.

They produce container ships with sub-deck compartments that are divided into compartments for containers.

Containers can be placed on the deck on the first or second floor, and in the port, the containers can be loaded and unloaded in a few hours by crane.

The advantages of this kind of ship are fast loading and unloading, convenient transshipment, safe and secure goods, and good transportation quality.

On the thirty-first day of the voyage, there was fog.

Despite this, Song Feng and the others also discovered the first island.

The island is like a man's toe in front of everyone, and the shore is covered with pale yellow rocks, and the top is covered with green trees.

In order to prevent running aground or running aground, the fleet kept a sufficient safe distance from the island.

Through the telescope, there is no trace of human activity on the island, and the most common thing is a variety of seabirds.

"Keep going. ”

They rounded the island and sailed into the flank of the sea, where they found a huge group of islands, which appeared in front of everyone like an inverted triangle.

They are either surrounded by groups of three or five, or they live alone in a corner, and some of them are connected to form a sea fortress.

"It's like a sea labyrinth. ”

It is not only Da Gaoqiang who sighs, but if there is no compass to indicate the direction, it will be difficult for ordinary ships to come in and then want to go out.

The further you go in, the more complicated the waterways become, and the slower the speed of the boat.

"Look, there's someone there. ”

The excited shouts of the lookout were heard, and the battleship, which had turned to combat readiness, began to assume a combat posture.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

It's a pretty large island, so let's call it an island, because we haven't seen the border yet.

The people on the shore had apparently also spotted the three behemoths, and they stopped what they were doing and pointed at the sea.

"It's supposed to be a dock, and there are a lot of rafts, but I don't know if we can stop our boat. ”

The staff officers inside the flagship were extremely excited and began to plan their next move.

"Order, the first shift of the great white shark is tentatively logged in, the second shift remains in a state of support, and the third shift and the fourth shift are on alert. The starboard side of the battleship is ready for artillery fire, and it is ready for combat readiness. ”

Liu Zhi was not surprised to receive the landing order, checked the equipment, and after giving a lecture before boarding, they rowed to the shore.

This is the job of their marines, to do the most dangerous things, to get the highest salary.

The people on the shore were a little flustered, and after arguing, they began to run deeper into the land.

Liu Zhi and the others went ashore without danger, and the team members performed their duties, and the vigilance, pathfinding, and mapping were carried out in an orderly manner.

They marched south along the shore, and after about 1,000 meters, a warning signal from the team members came from the right side.

Someone came, and there were quite a few of them.

"Go back the way you came, remember, no attack without an order. ”

Once an attack is launched, causing casualties on the other side, it is almost a situation of no death.

The speed of the arrivals was not slow, and when the first group retreated to the landing point, the arrivals also arrived, and surrounded Liu Zhi and his party of twelve people on the shore in a fan shape.

“#*&~”

The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader asked Liu Zhi and them.

They were dressed in linen clothes, and their feet were black shoes, and they couldn't see the material clearly.

Many people wear bone jewelry, on their necks, wrists, and ankles.

They have dark skin, bald men, and only women have long hair.

The leader on the other side saw that Liu Zhi and his entourage did not talk, so he asked a few more words, but no one understood.

"What kind of bird language does this guy say, why can't you understand it?"

The broken-mouthed warrior chattered again, and his hand subconsciously reached to his side, where the dagger was.

"Don't move, the language barrier and gestures, I'll try, I didn't order you not to make unusual movements. ”

Liu Zhi admonished everyone, then slowly raised his hands and walked to the opposite side.

The leader was puzzled by what he meant, and in another dialect he didn't understand, the natives raised their wooden spears in their hands and made a throwing gesture.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi immediately stopped.

Then he shook his head, pointing to his backpack.

This group of actions seemed to have an effect, the opposite side did not attack, and the leader began to chat with a few people around him.

After a few words, they stared at Liu Zhi again, neither attacking nor confiscating their spears.

What is this going on? ’

Liu Zhi muttered in his heart, the other party didn't move, he had to move.

"We're not bad people, I have good food in my backpack to give to you. ”

Knowing that the other party couldn't understand, Liu Zhi still said this sentence out loud.

What the two sides lack now is communication, even if it is a chicken and a duck, it is also a way of communication, at least let the other party know that they have the willingness to communicate.

Liu Zhi slowly took off the backpack, then slowly untied the strap of the backpack and took out a can of canned beef.

"Try this, it's delicious. ”

As he spoke, he held the can and handed it to the other party.

The other party understood this action, and a small man walked over, grabbed the can and quickly folded it back.

A group of people on the opposite side sniffed and bit at the can, but they couldn't open the trick, and their emotions gradually became anxious.

They looked at Liu Zhi with a clear lack of kindness.

'Oh no......

Thinking of this, Liu Zhi took out another can from his bag, "Look, like me." ”

As he spoke, he cocked the lid with a dagger, and then forked out a large piece of dark red beef with a dagger, and the fragrance instantly spread.

Liu Zhimei took a sip of it, and then gestured to the other side.

Fortunately, the natives were not stupid, and after learning Liu Zhi's method, they also opened the can in three or two clicks, and divided it one by one.

The natives who have eaten beef have wonderful expressions, and the soup on their fingers has been sucked clean.

The leader hid the empty canned bottle in his arms like a treasure, and then took out a red stone the size of a baby's fist from his belt, followed Liu Zhi's example, and handed it over with his hand.

Liu Zhi understood that this was an exchange, so he stepped forward boldly, gently and slowly took the stone from the palm, took it from the palm, and put it in his pocket after a cursory observation.

“#*&~”

The leader of the other party is obviously more eager to communicate.

With a successful exchange, the vigilance of both sides has weakened, at least it is no longer tense.

Liu Zhi carefully observed the other party's facial expressions and speech and demeanor, hoping to establish effective communication as soon as possible.

Then he simply sat down on the ground and started painting on the beach.

As the length of the painting increased, the expressions of the natives became more and more excited, and their eyes were full of sincerity and respect when they looked at Liu Zhi.

'There's a play. ’
