Transcendent Journey

In the next few days, except for the Knight cultivation that was too early in the morning, Ivan was okay, soaking under the mast, learning and practicing a little bit to digest what Jiabu taught. Knowledge and experience.

strictly speaking, sailboats cannot generate power on their own, and can only rely on external wind and ocean currents. So no matter the wind or wind direction changes, the sails need to be adjusted in time, otherwise it will accidentally become Buddhist drifting, and there is even the risk of the ship overturning.

While bringing a huge workload to the crew, Ivan also has a lot more opportunities to practice hands. Moreover, this guy relied on his high physical fitness, and also robbed a lot of the work of the sailors. Others needed the rigging pulled by several people, and he pulled it all alone.

Be modest and studious. There is no such thing as an officer. Even the sailors at the bottom can talk to each other. Ivan quickly became a part of the sailing crew members. At the same time, he himself The technology of sail control is also advancing rapidly.

At least with the help of a data-based vision, as long as you have learned something once, you don’t need to talk about second time. It is better than the old crew to distinguish changes such as wind direction, wind speed, wave height, etc., in the calm and tranquil sea. The sailing line leader Jiabu dared to let him command and control a section.

Up to now, the data-based vision has really helped Ivan too much. Whether it is the parameterization of external things, the identification of details, or its own attributes, it is extremely useful. Ivan has no at first for it anymore. Dislike…

The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and it is another peaceful day.

The cruise voyage of the Silver Wing is close to one third.

Because I have been sailing on the route of the offshore merchant ship, I have seen a lot of merchant ships, but Ivan has always wanted to use the pirate ship to test his skills, but I haven’t seen a single one.

I want to come too. Near naval ports are everywhere, and it is the place with the strongest naval power. Like the last time Blood Anchor was encountered in a place where offshore shipping was prosperous, it was really only a small probability event, and most pirates would not dare to come here to die.

Stepping on the tail of the early morning, Ivan climbed to the observation platform and looked at the sea routinely after finishing the exercise. There was no abnormality in the gleaming of the sea in the slight morning light.

Just because there is no shelter on the sea, it gives a feeling that the sun rises much earlier than on land.

“Where are the pirates?” Ivan muttered to himself expectantly as the sea breeze was blowing.

“Hey, boy, isn’t peace in the world?” Gehr, who also got up early to inspect the battleship behind him, patted Ivan on the shoulder.

Ivan, who was too focused and didn’t notice someone coming, smiled straight at hearing this hehe. He didn’t dare to say that he wanted to find a few pirates to try his skills.

Playing pirates is not telling a story. As long as you fight, there will be casualties. The sea is never a peaceful place. Whether it is pirates, disease, bad weather, or indescribable objects hidden under the sea, they are all enemies that threaten the lives of seafarers.

The normal Level 4 battleship has a crew of 350 people. At that time, the crew who followed Gehr to the Fifth Level ship “Silver Wing” were less than two hundred. As for the rest of those people. Up? It speaks for itself.

“Uncle Gehr, there is a situation!” I was about to ask Gehr about the strange smell on the ocean. Ivan suddenly caught a glimpse of the abnormality on the sea from the corner of his eye, feeling nervous or excited. Exclaimed.

“Calm!”

Gehr lightly shouted and raised the brass-clad monotube Telescope in his hand and looked towards Ivan’s finger.

Broken ship boards, sawdust, canvas, buckets, wooden boxes and other sundries float on the surface of the water with the current. The experienced Gehr immediately judged that this was a trace of the death of a merchant ship.

“Level 3 combat readiness!”

“Clang, clang, clang…” Ivan immediately sounded the alarm bell at his command.

Then the two slid down the mast and ran to Gehr’s command position in the poop, where the rudder was located.

Hearing the alarm bell, the Silver Wing, which was originally quiet in the darkness before dawn, seemed like a giant beast that was suddenly awakened. Countless crew members gushing out of the cabin like tide, rushing to their jobs.

Originally, Ivan thought that the crew under the command of Captain Joseph on the Huanghu was already very well-trained. After seeing the actions of the Silver Wing sailors, did Ivan realize that he was right. Well-trained standards should be redefined.

There is no need for Gehr to spend much time, just standing in his command post like the Sea Calming Divine Needle. Everyone below knows what to do with whom. In an instant, this Silver Wing is like a gear mechanism that turns on a clockwork. The gears bite into voluntary revolving and turn into a real war machine.

“Raise the sails, turn the rudder!”

Under the control of the crew, the Silver Wing deftly made a circle and headed toward the direction where the debris was floating.

Soon, the crew on the Silver Wing have seen the death scene of the merchant ship with their own eyes.

The broken sailboat all split up and in pieces, floating quietly on the sea, flags, broken planks, and wooden boxes of goods floated everywhere, but even a corpse could not be found .

“It seems to be a merchant ship from Palos.”

We have already recognized by experienced old crew members through the ship’s style and broken flags, this is the same Palos kingdom in the Tulip Alliance. The merchant ship. I just don’t know what happened to them. There is not much difference between the ship and the broken bones. This is an effect that the pirate’s artillery can never produce.

“Your Captain, things seem to be wrong.” Marine Captain Treius frowned.

A bizarre guess has emerged in his mind, but he is a little uncertain, after all, it is a threat that ocean-going ships may encounter in the open sea.

It should not be possible in offshore areas where shipping is prosperous but marine resources are scarce.

“Level 2 alert!” Hearing the captain’s words, Gehr himself certainly guessed, and decisively issued the order.

The order was passed to all departments of the ship. At this time, whether it was a combatant or not, the crew took out long and short muskets and filled them with ammunition to deal with enemies that might appear at any time.

At the same time as everyone on the boat was preparing nervously. I don’t know when it started, a layer of mist gradually rose on the sea, and the visibility continued to decrease.

In fact, after such a long time, the sun should have risen now, but the sea in everyone’s field of vision gradually darkened, and the Silver Wing had to lower its sails to slow down to avoid accidentally hitting it. what.

“Click, click, click…”

At this moment, a strange mechanical sound suddenly came out of Gehr’s arms.

Standing behind Gehr, Ivan looked at it suspiciously and found that Uncle Gehr complexion changed, solemnly taking out a silver pocket watch-like thing from his arms.
