"Have you looked at the weather forecast, and what will the weather be like tomorrow?"

Ye Hao asked again.

"On our route, the weather forecast for tomorrow is very good, with clear skies and only two or three southeasterly winds. However, the weather conditions in the depths of the ocean are very complicated, sometimes one second the sun is shining brightly and the wind is calm, and the next second there is a sudden storm and a tsunami. Therefore, in addition to always paying attention to the weather forecast, we often choose to drive cautiously and drive slower. ”

Liu Yuanhangdao.

"If we sail at the current speed, we will certainly not be able to reach Kansa Island before tomorrow evening. If you want me to say, while the wind and waves are calm, you better drive faster, and if the weather changes, it's not too late to slow down the boat!"

Ye Hao still thinks that he can try to participate in this World Gambling King Contest on time.

"Okay, I'll try to increase the speed as much as possible without compromising safety!"

After Liu Yuanhang finished speaking, he quickly instructed the helmsman standing in front of the main console to speed up.

Ye Hao entered the command room of the aircraft carrier for the first time, and he was very interested in everything in the command room. He deliberately walked up to the helmsman to see up close how he controlled the huge aircraft carrier.

On the front of the main console, there is a sail rudder with a diameter of about one meter, which looks very beautiful. The rudder is composed of two rounds of wheels inside and outside, and six rudder rods evenly distributed on the hub, the hub and rudder rod are made of pure steel, and the surface is all plated with a layer of metallic chrome, which looks silver and shiny, very handsome.

On the right side of the upper part of the main console, there is a device shaped like a round table clock, with two operating handles on it, and some buttons and brightly colored indicators next to the handles.

The helmsman is holding the joystick on the right and slowly pushing forward.

"Go to two!"

The helmsman shouted as he operated.

"The equipment that the helmsman is operating controls the forward speed of the aircraft carrier, right?"

Ye Hao asked curiously.

"That's right, this device is called the car bell, and it is used to control the aircraft carrier's forward, backward, stop, and sailing speed! Pushing the handle on the car clock forward is to accelerate forward, and pulling the handle backward is to slow down or reverse. ”

Liu Yuanhang introduced on the side.

"Then what does the helmsman mean by shouting 'into two' just now?"

Ye Hao asked again.

"The forward gear of this aircraft carrier is divided into four gears, which are into one, two, three and four. When the aircraft carrier sailed out of the port just now, in order to avoid causing a great impact and impact on other fishing boats in the port, it only put on the 'one step' gear, and the speed was only about 10 knots per hour, that is, a speed of 18 kilometers per hour. Now that the aircraft carrier has sailed out of the port, it can speed up, so the forward gear has been adjusted to the 'advance two' gear. ”

Liu Yuanhangdao.

"Then there's a fourth gear back?"

Ye Hao asked.

"That's right! Like the forward gear, the backward of the aircraft carrier is also divided into four gears, which are the first to retreat, the second to retreat, the third to retreat, and the fourth to retreat. Depending on the gear, the speed of reversing is not the same. ”

Liu Yuanhangdao.

When the helmsman increased the speed to the "advance second" gear, Ye Hao obviously felt that the speed of the aircraft carrier had become a lot faster.

Looking out of the porthole of the command room, it was obvious that the waves stirred up by the bow of the ship had become much larger.

"With such a large aircraft carrier, it seems that the operation is quite simple!"

Ye Hao said with emotion.

"The control system of this aircraft carrier is very advanced, and if it only carries out forward and backward operations under normal circumstances, it is indeed very simple! However, if it encounters complicated sea conditions and bad weather, the requirements for piloting this aircraft carrier become very high! If you want to control this aircraft carrier in a fierce battle at sea, it will be a very complicated and major test for the captain, the helmsman, and the people in the entire command room!"

Liu Yuanhang said with a smile.

"That rudder is used to control the course of the aircraft carrier?"

Ye Hao asked again.

"That's right! The rudder wheel is similar to the steering wheel of a car, if the rudder turns to the left, the hull will move to the left, and if the rudder turns to the right, the hull will move to the right. Both left and right turns are in different gears that are used to control the angle at which the hull turns. ”

When Liu Yuanhang said this, he turned his head again and said to the helmsman,

"Left rudder 20!"

"Left rudder 20!"

The helmsman immediately began to turn the rudder to the left and repeated Liu Yuanhang's command.

"What does 20 mean by left rudder?"

Ye Hao asked curiously on the side.

"Left rudder 20 means to turn the rudder 20 degrees to the left. The maximum steering angle of the hull is 90 degrees, so when I shout 'full left rudder', I ask the helmsman to turn the rudder to the left and turn it to a 90-degree shift to the left. We were going to Kansa Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, so I asked the helmsman to adjust the course a little after the carrier left port. ”

Liu Yuanhang explained.

"How do you determine the direction of the vast sea?"

Ye Hao's curiosity is very strong, and the questions are one after another.

Liu Yuanhang pointed to a large circular instrument in front of the main console and said,

"Look, that big circular meter in front is the compass. The compass consists mainly of a compass and a 360-degree circumferential ruler, which is used to determine our direction on the sea. Of course, now technology is much more developed than before, this aircraft carrier, in addition to the traditional electric compass and magnetic compass, is also equipped with a satellite navigation system, which can automatically locate the position and course of the aircraft carrier on the sea. ”

Liu Yuanhangdao.

He saw that Ye Hao was very interested in the knowledge of piloting an aircraft carrier, and led Ye Hao to a large electronic screen.

"This is an electronic nautical chart, which can clearly and intuitively see the current position of our aircraft carrier and the route it is traveling! It works together with satellite navigation systems, compasses, radar systems and other equipment to help us find the correct course in the vast sea!"

Liu Yuanhang explained to Ye Hao in detail.

Ye Hao listened very carefully, and kept asking all kinds of questions.

Liu Yuanhang also saw that Ye Hao was so interested in all the equipment in the command room, and it was very likely that he wanted to try to pilot this aircraft carrier with his own hands.

"Does Ye Dong want to learn how to fly this aircraft carrier?"

Liu Yuanhang asked with a smile.

"Hey, that's right!"

Ye Hao smiled.

"In fact, the basic operation of the aircraft carrier is not complicated, the difficulty is to deal with complex sea conditions and weather, as well as to maneuver the aircraft carrier for combat. Tomorrow our aircraft carrier sails to the high seas, and if the weather is fine and there are no other ships in the nearby waters, I can personally teach you how to drive this aircraft carrier!"

Liu Yuanhang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, great, let's make a decision!"

Ye Hao happily patted Liu Yuanhang's shoulder.
