Chapter 358: The ship rolls

Compared to the Black Yao, which sailed hard in the big waves, the killer whales that followed behind were not easy.

They are not fish and can hide directly in the quiet deep sea.

They need to come to the surface from time to time to breathe, so it is a little dangerous to encounter such storms and sudden storm weather.

When huge waves hit, every time a killer whale appears on the surface of the sea, it is always dizzy and its body rises and falls with the waves.

If they hadn't lived in the ocean since birth, they would have fainted by now.

Chu Mingcheng was too busy to take care of himself, staring closely at the direction of the waves, turning the rudder from time to time.

The Black Yao suddenly slanted to the left with the waves, and then to the right.

The two dogs and the two sea otters in the cabin were all terrified, especially the baby sea otters, who were so scared that they all ran to hug Jiang Luoluo's calves and beg for comfort.

But she didn't care about the pets now, she just went and took the kennel and the sea otter's kennel to the cab and put them aside for them to stay here.

Of course, she herself was already wearing a life jacket and a rope tied around her waist.

So she also changed the dogs into specially customized life jackets, also tied with a rope.

Baby sea otters don't need to, they can dive.

It's just that such an undulating boat also begins to make people and animals gradually uncomfortable.

The night couldn't help it at first, and it was shaken to the point of vomiting.

Jiang Luoluo himself was also dizzy, and his face turned pale when he saw this.

She tried to hold back, but no matter who was dizzy in this weather, she could only untie the rope and cover her mouth and run to the bathroom quickly.

Chu Mingcheng was a little worried about her physical condition, but he couldn't do it at all at the moment.

After a while, Jiang Luoluo staggered back.

"Lolo, how are you?" Chu Mingcheng stretched out a hand and touched her forehead, and said with concern.

Jiang Luoluo had just re-tied the rope to herself and was about to speak, but the next moment she showed a frightened look and pointed out the window: "Ah Cheng..."

Chu Mingcheng looked back, and a foul sentence suddenly burst out of his mouth: "Convex (艹)"

Because right in front of him, the sea was gradually rising, which indicated that there would be a super wave coming in the next moment.

Seeing this, the killer whales that followed the boat appeared on the surface of the water and changed their breath, and then immediately dived into the water.

Chu Mingcheng had no choice, he turned the bow of the boat and began to rush towards the huge waves that had risen to five meters.

But it was still a step too late, and when the boat rushed to a height of five or six meters, the huge waves had risen to about ten meters and smashed over.

"Boom~"

The hull of the ship was smashed violently, and even the hull made a "creaking" sound.

However, it was not over yet, because it was followed by a huge wave about ten meters high.

This time there was no chance to react, and the Black Yao was completely lifted by the waves directly from the side, and then smashed heavily into the water.

In an instant, the inside of the ship turned over and overturned.

Chu Mingcheng only had time to protect Jiang Luoluo in his arms, and then turned on the Seagod mode to increase his defense.

There was a "crackling" sound, and there was a lot of damage inside the ship.

From the outside, it can be seen that the entire Black Shine was overturned, and then it automatically turned back under the action of the keel.

This is the advantage of a monohull, as long as the hull shows that there is no water leakage, it is basically unsinkable, but the people inside the ship are a little offended.

Chu Mingcheng first smashed his back on the window, then rolled to the wall, and finally slammed into the ground.

As for Jiang Luoluo being firmly protected by him, except for being dizzy, nothing else is fine.

The hull of the ship stabilized for a few seconds, Chu Mingcheng hurriedly hugged her and got up, and continued to drive the boat, otherwise it would be overturned again.

"Luo Luo, are you okay, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine, what about you, I saw you hit it a few times just now!" After Jiang Luoluo came back to his senses, he hurriedly checked his body, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after finding that there were no injuries.

Then she looked at the pets, but the sea otters were fine, and the dogs kept barking.

They were lightweight, they weren't crushed, and the chairs and tables in the cab were fixed, so they were lucky not to be injured.

It's just that after this will be fine, the night and hardware pee instead, and the angry Jiang Luoluo can't wait to throw them into the sea on the spot.

But she didn't notice that Chu Mingcheng's expression was solemn at this time.

Because he found that the diesel engine could not start, only the electric engine was still working, and the speed of the sailboat dropped several notches.

"Lolo, the engine is broken, I have to go out and hoist the sails and get out as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll have to finish the next few big waves. ”

Jiang Luoluo chuckled in his heart, pursed his lips and couldn't speak.

I wanted to help, but I knew I couldn't help at all.

Her state is not good and her strength is small, and the wind and waves are a little smaller, but to this extent, she can't pull the rope at all, and she is even easily swept away by the waves.

"I'll wait for you to come back!"

"Don't worry, it's okay!" Chu Mingcheng saw her thoughts, so he showed a relaxed smile and touched her face to comfort her.

Raising the sail is a helpless choice, but he is not an ordinary person either.

Walking out of the cabin, the Black Yao barely continued to sail against the waves, apparently Jiang Luoluo was operating the rudder.

Without hesitation, he closed the door and ran steadily to the middle of the deck, and then hoisted the storm sails.

Ordinary sails will be blown by the wind when raised, and special storm sails will not.

Storm sails are much smaller than normal sails and very mini.

Chu Mingcheng first fixed the hind feet of the central mainsail on the low guardrails on both sides of the ship's side, and then fixed the rear corner of the storm sail directly in front of the mast.

As soon as the sail was set, the Black Yao, which had been undulating and tilting sideways, suddenly regained its balance.

Because the center of force on the foresail is on the center line of lateral resistance of the hull, this keeps it balanced.

As soon as the two sails were raised, the speed of the Black Yao suddenly soared from less than ten knots to more than forty knots.

Finally, Chu Mingcheng came to the bow of the ship, grabbed the rope that adjusted the direction of the front sail, one by one, and began to adjust the angle to let the Black Yao sail in a place where the waves were gentle.

At this time, he had already turned on the Poseidon mode, because this was an operation that could only be done by at least two people.

The resistance of the wind blowing is very strong, and there is no way to adjust the direction without enough strength.

Secondly, Chu Mingcheng didn't have enough sailing experience, and although he tried hard to adjust, the Black Yao still hadn't completely gotten rid of the tall waves.

The waves crashed on him from time to time, and even if he turned on the Poseidon mode, it was very painful.

That's why he hadn't sailed like this before, and now he can't help it.

Seeing Jiang Luoluo's heart at this scene, tears flowed down his cheeks.

Fortunately, he was a quick learner, and after a few minutes of operation, he was much more familiar with them, and their direction was away from the center of the storm.

Driven by the wind, the Black Yao sped across the sea, and after only ten minutes, they were out of danger.

The surrounding waves have also increased from ten meters to five or six meters, and although they are still shaking, they are still not dangerous.

In such an environment, Chu Mingcheng became more handy, and he had no problem turning off the Seagod Mode.

As he became more proficient, the Black Yao sped as much as he could, making him feel a little bit surfing.

Another twenty minutes passed, and a bright ray of sunshine shone down.

The golden light in front of him was calm.

Behind him, lightning and thunder roared, and huge waves were monstrous, forming a very classic opposing picture.

"It's safe!" At this moment, Chu Mingcheng finally relaxed, and the next moment, he felt that something was wrong with his body, and everything hurt.

Just then, there was a rush of footsteps on the deck.

As soon as he turned around, Jiang Luoluo had already run to him and pounced, and then hugged him tightly.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Chu Mingcheng patted her on the back and comforted her softly.

Today can be regarded as a narrow escape from death, and it is normal to be emotional.

It's just that the thought of the boat being overturned by the waves today, Chu Mingcheng's face suddenly collapsed.

It's nothing to lose a little money, the point is that it's too much trouble to clean up.

Now in the depths of the sea, there is no country or city where you can log in and invite someone to clean up, and in the end everything has to be done by themselves.

The only good news is that a lot of the furniture in the boat is fixed on board, which reduces the hassle of tidying up.

After a while, five killer whales also appeared around the boat, which made Chu Mingcheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Later, after he raised the storm sails, the Black Yao suddenly accelerated and threw them off directly, thinking that it would take a long time for them to find them, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

After Jiang Luoluo's mood stabilized, the two prepared to return to the cabin together.

As soon as the cabin door opened, the messy picture suddenly appeared in front of them.

The two looked at each other silently, looking at each other without saying a word.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng came to the wheelhouse, drove the boat with electric power, and found a shallow water area to lower the anchor.

Then they simply cleaned up the bedroom, went to take a shower, and went to sleep first.

It didn't take more than an hour before and after the storm, but the two were so exhausted that they didn't have the strength to move anymore.

As for eating, it was so miserable before that even the dogs had no appetite, let alone them.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when he got up the next day, and Chu Mingcheng had a sore body for the first time.

Jiang Luoluo's face was pale and his body was also very uncomfortable.

And her appetite was very poor, even if Chu Mingcheng only got some vegetables, she didn't eat a few bites.

In this state, there was naturally no way to clean up in the cabin, so he had to put away the anchor and raise the sails, and let the sea breeze carry the ship towards the South Pole.

After the storm the sea was indeed calm, not even much wind, and the sailboat moved slowly at a speed of seven knots per hour.

He needed to find a desert island and let Jiang Luoluo go to land for two days.

Otherwise, if you continue on the ship, the sequelae of seasickness will last for at least a few days.

Unfortunately, the engine broke down and the speed couldn't get up.

He had to use several life transformations to eliminate the sequelae of his body.

After feeling better, Chu Mingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had a plug-in.

Otherwise, they may not be killed in the sea during this storm, but it will definitely be even more uncomfortable.

After all, they were not in the real center of the storm, and the quality of more than 20 million sailboats was guaranteed.

He then went into the engine room to look for a problem with the engine.

He learned the repair technique very well, and the engine was only a minor problem, so he repaired it quickly.

Chu Mingcheng had to be glad that he had specially bought a new ship, if it was a second-hand ship, the engine problem would be not small.

After the engine was repaired, the speed suddenly increased a lot.

After a day's sailing, he finally found a small archipelago.

Choosing an island with a sandy beach, Chu Mingcheng set up a tent in a suitable location on the beach.

The moment he stepped on the beach, Jiang Luoluo obviously felt much more comfortable.

Even the dogs who have been cowardly have been a lot more lively, and the sea otters have been eating Ma Ma Xiang.

For the next period of time, Chu Mingcheng had been cleaning up the cabin.

Jiang Luoluo recovered quickly after coming to the island, and then helped clean up together.

Everything else was fine in the cabin, but the most serious damage was the bowls and plates, which were almost lost.

In the past few days, they have almost stewed in a mess and eaten directly in the pot.

If it weren't for the stainless steel bowls, they would all have to use the lid as a bowl.

The bed in the guest room also broke his leg, Chu Mingcheng simply found wood on the island and made a leg to replace it, and then changed the bed when he had the opportunity to come to some city.

After a few busy days, the two finally cleaned the cabin and continued to set off.

With the experience of experiencing a storm, Chu Mingcheng was full of confidence this time.

If there was another storm, he decided that he would pass safely.

Then, Chu Mingcheng, who was very effective with a crow's mouth, really encountered a storm again when he first entered the Antarctic waters.

But this time he fearlessly hoisted the sails of the storm, rode directly through the wind and waves, and moved away from the center of the storm at great speed before the storm approached, without any incident.

As long as he knew how to sail in the storm before, he and Jiang Luoluo would not be so miserable.

During this period, the maximum speed of the boat reached nearly 50 knots, which was like riding a speedboat.

And they are only a thousand nautical miles away from the South Pole.

"Wow, it's almost there!" Jiang Luoluo stood on the deck for a walk, in a very happy mood.

It was another calm day after the storm, and now she could reach the South Pole in a week at the latest, which filled her with anticipation.

From the first storm, they sailed on the sea for almost a month and a half.

The main distance is too far, and they mainly rely on sail power as well as electric power to sail.

The fuel tank is only big, and it is difficult to meet oil tankers on this side of the sea, of course they have to save money.

Therefore, the speed depends on the weather, the sea breeze is stronger, and they can basically maintain a speed of 20 knots.

If the wind had been lighter, they might have sailed only forty or fifty nautical miles a day, which is why they were delayed for so long.

The wind slowed down, so the two of them simply came out to relax on the deck and breathe in the fresh air.

While they were chatting, the originally deep blue water was covered by a sudden spread of red.

"Why is the water red here?" Jiang Luoluo was inexplicable.

But the next moment, without Chu Mingcheng explaining, she saw a lot of small red shrimp jumping on the side of the boat.

She is all too familiar with this shrimp, because she often uses this bait for fishing.

That's right, it's the Antarctic krill, which raises many cetaceans.

It is also the Antarctic shrimp they usually use to go out to sea to catch deep-sea fish for nesting.

Such a large area directly dyed the sea surface red, and the number unit cannot be calculated in billions, but in trillions.
