Giggle cluck cluck –

A scalp-tingling noise came from the bottom of the ship, and thanks to Yaha's command, the ship did not hit the sturdy spars head-on. In that case, the whale's wings may be broken, but the whaling ship will be completely stopped and become a target for the other two whales.

The bottom of the Moby Dick brushed against the spars, and the sturdy hull broke dozens of "branches" sticking out of the spars. The whaling ship and the whale are like two horsemen on horseback against each other, and the opportunity to strike is only for a moment when they intersect with each other, and then they will separate from each other.

In this round of exchanges, it was clearly the Moby Dick that had the upper hand.

Even Yaha's face slowly grinned, and she was about to open her mouth to give the next command......

Bang——!!

A loud bang suddenly came from the stern, and at the same time, the bow, which was turning to the upper right, suddenly and uncontrollably deflected to the left.

Before Yaha could ask a question, the voice of the chief engineer came from the microphone: "Stop left!" ”

Four words, indicating that the situation is serious.

The wheelhouse couldn't see the condition of the thrusters, and Yaha could only ask again, "What is the reason?!" ”

A few seconds later, the voice of another engine room crew member came: "It's the wing bones!" One of the wingbones got stuck in the left thruster! ”

“XXX！！” Yaha cursed that Summer Night didn't understand foul language.

"Right rudder 15, turn the direction back to the right! Horizontal rudder depression angle 10, press the bow down! ”

The helmsman quickly complied, and when the left thruster stopped, the Moby Dick slowed down significantly, and speed meant buoyancy, and the whaling ship began to lose altitude uncontrollably after gliding some distance by inertia.

"Report speed, helmsman."

"150 knots."

When the Debsota reaches a speed of less than 170 knots, it will have to prop up its airbags to maintain sufficient buoyancy, but once it does, it means giving up maneuverability altogether.

In front of the other two whales, who are still unscathed, this is tantamount to drinking to quench their thirst.

Before Yaha could come up with a solution, the first mate's report rang out: "Structural Division 1 can no longer maintain 'synchronous strengthening'. ”

"Change No. 3 and No. 4." She said without hesitation.

Summernight looked into the front deck to see the Structurist on the left side of the turret had fallen to the ground, curled up in pain.

"Synchronous Enhancement" can indeed strengthen the ship and the Structurist to a far greater degree than normal, but there is a limit to the damage that can be absorbed by this state. Once a certain threshold is exceeded, the "Synchronized Reinforcement" state can no longer be maintained, and the Structur will suffer immensely the moment the threshold is breached.

As a result, Yaha avoided the whale's breath as much as possible, and neither of the two structurists would have been breached the threshold, but the impact with the spar and the thruster stopped due to the wingbone getting stuck were unexpected, and the hull suffered more damage as a result.

Immediately, a crew member rushed to the foredeck and carried Structural Division 1 back to the cabin, while Structural Division 2 was helped off deck by another crew member. Structurists 3 and 4 quickly replenished their vacated positions, preparing to re-establish a "synchronous reinforcement" status with the whaling ship.

At this moment, the voice of the crew came over the microphone: "The chief engineer has left the barrier!" ”

"What? What is she going to do?! ”

"She said, she said, 'I, pull it out,'......" the crew stammered.

Yaha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Structural Divisions 3 and 4 stop entering the 'Synchronous Enhancement'!" ”

Her voice was heard through the microphone, and Structurists 3 and 4, who were about to recite the witch's script, suddenly stopped.

"Go and see what's going on at the stern." She then said to the crew beside her.

The crew nodded, and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Summer Night.

"I'll let my cat go." She said to Jaha.

Yaha nodded almost without hesitation, "Okay." ”

Xia Ye whispered a few words to the black cat hanging on his shoulder, Xiu nodded and rushed out of the cab at a great speed. It only took a few seconds for the cat to run to the stern of the boat, and through the sharing of vision, Summer Night immediately saw what was going on.

The first thing that caught her eye was the translucent lines that resembled magnetic induction lines, and Summer Night immediately understood why Yaha had called off the synchronization reinforcement of Structural Engineers 3 and 4 - because someone else had already entered the "synchronization reinforcement" state first.

Xiu's vision moved to the outboard again, and now he could finally see the propeller hanging from the stern. Summer Night was stunned to find that the chief engineer wearing black and white stockings was hugging the cylindrical thruster!

And the "magnetic induction line" is extended from her, she is also a structural engineer, and now she has obviously entered the state of "synchronous strengthening".

"Did your cat see that?" Yaha asked anxiously.

"I saw ......" Summer Night was still a little incredulous, "Chief Engineer...... Lying on the thruster that has been extinguished, it has entered the state of 'synchronous strengthening'...... What is she trying to do? ”

"She wants to restart the left thruster......" Yaha said. Second mate, tell me the distance between the whaling ship and the three whales. ”

"550 meters, 1.9 kilometers meters, 2.2 kilometers."

"It's the distance where whale breath can be launched." Yaha muttered, pondered for a few seconds, and then issued a new order: "Left full rudder, turn the ship sideways!" The main and secondary guns are ready to shoot to the port side! ”

With only one thruster left, the Moby Dick began to turn again, and the working right thruster continued to provide the hull with the torque to rotate to the left, and at this time, combined with the rudder effect of the left full rudder, the hull quickly turned sideways, and the port side was facing three whales.

Now the people in the cab can already see them through the side windows. With the exception of the badly wounded whale, which did not move, the other two were struggling to turn. They staggered with the Moby Dick with their backs to the whaling ship, and in order to guide the whale's breath to the target, it had to be within the Matrix Eye's field of vision.

While everyone was staring at the whale, Summer Night looked at the chief engineer through Xiu's vision. Although whaling ships can travel at "only" 150 knots today, the resulting winds are strong enough to blow a person off the thrusters.

But the chief engineer seemed to have a way of "sucking" on the thrusters, and although her black and white hair had been blown to the point where it fluttered almost horizontally, her body slowly climbed up.

Due to the heat of nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius in the shell of the propeller, her stockings and sailor suit were burned with large and small holes, but she herself was unharmed, although her skin was a little red as if it were hot, but there were no signs of burns.

The girl hunched over, braving the strong wind, little by little, moved to the edge of the air intake of the thruster. Through Xiu's vision, Xia Ye had already seen a white bone the thickness of a bowl inserted into the engine through the air intake, leaving only a section about half a meter long left outside, which must have been the wing bones in the crew's mouth—those "tiny" branches extending from the wing spar.

She couldn't help but wonder how the chief engineer was going to troubleshoot this problem.

Since he is the chief engineer, maybe he signed a contract such as "directional blasting", right? It should be possible to blast the wing bones into tiny pieces with this ability without damaging the internal structure of the thrusters......

Just as Summer Night was guessing this, she saw the chief engineer half-kneel, grasp the exposed wing bone with both hands, and then began to pull it out forcefully......

？？?

So you're going to solve it this way?
