Chapter 86
The storm intensified and the sky gradually darkened.The thick dark clouds completely covered the sky, and nothing was revealed.

The strong wind rolled up the dark clouds, and the layers of sea water brought up were as high as [-] centimeters, fiercely hitting all obstacles that dared to block its progress.In the salty sea breeze, mixed with snow-white waves, it hurts people like flying needles.

The captain was surprised to see Fang Ze driving the cruise ship skillfully, although at the beginning, Fang Ze's operation was not smooth.But after one or two times, he was able to control the ship very easily.

And it seems that he is more skilled than him, who has been a captain for more than ten years.

In front of Fang Ze was a sailing table that he had calculated based on the wind direction of the typhoon, and carefully steered the cruise ship forward.

What a terrifying young man, the captain couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Fang Ze at work.I thought that he could give Fang Ze some advice based on his own sailing experience, but unexpectedly, he couldn't get involved at all, because some places on the nautical table were marked in more detail than he thought.

Looking at Fang Ze's young and immature face, the captain really didn't know where he got these experiences.Sailing experience is accumulated by years of sailing, so it is hard to be a person who knows it from birth.

At this time, the cruise ship has lowered three berths, and the two empty compartments in the cruise ship have been put into seawater.

"Captain, what time is it?" Fang Ze asked after glancing at the captain.

"At 42:[-], there are still [-] nautical miles away from entering the typhoon safe zone." The captain replied truthfully, looking at the weather data on the computer. Now he has changed from the captain to the chief mate.

"What is the magnitude of the change in the typhoon's wind speed, and what is the direction of the typhoon's wind?"

"Well, according to the data from the Provincial Meteorological Bureau." The captain looked at the latest data and said, "The wind force is gradually increasing, 43 meters per second, and the wind direction is westward. We must speed up. If it is not within 10 minutes, If we sail internally into a safe area, our ship will not be able to withstand the huge waves brought by the wind speed."

Fang Ze nodded, and continued to concentrate on driving the cruise ship, constantly calculating the direction of the cruise ship in his mind.

Driving a cruise ship, driving skills only account for 90.00% of the driving ability, and the remaining [-]% of the ability is the comprehensive knowledge and experience of sailing other than driving skills.

Driving at sea is different from road driving on land.The situation of cars driving on the road is relatively clear, but the waterway of cruise ships is more complicated.

Sometimes the waterway is wide, but there are reefs, shoals and other problems on the underwater riverbed or seabed, which are difficult to find with the naked eye.Land roads have street signs, marking lines, and traffic lights at intersections to guide drivers. Drivers can see the road conditions clearly with the naked eye.

However, there are no road signs, no markings, no depth and no traffic lights in maritime traffic, and cruise ship drivers often cannot judge the road conditions ahead with their naked eyes.

Having to rely on electronic instruments such as weather detectors, satellite positioning systems, radars, and autopilot systems to navigate is often an oversight that can lead to shipwreck.

Moreover, now that the typhoon is approaching, the situation at sea has become more complicated.Fang Ze had to put all his energy into navigation. Although he had rich experience as a pirate, he still had to be more careful when things happened.

"Captain, the course is about to be changed now, and the turbulence may intensify. Please broadcast and ask everyone to hold on to the nearest stable place." Fang Ze saw on the cloud map that the typhoon had deflected.

"Well, change the route?" The captain frowned and asked subconsciously, "Now that the typhoon is heading west, wouldn't it be the fastest to proceed along the current route?"

Fang Ze shook his head and sighed, "That's right, the current route is the fastest, but the hot and cold convection ahead is too great. The range of the typhoon is too large, and the nearby sea areas are in high temperature periods. If we continue sailing, the cold and hot Once the convection changes, the wind direction is likely to be southerly. At that time, huh, huh, the result goes without saying.”

The captain suddenly realized, but his thinking was too simple.That's right, although he has been sailing for decades, he has never encountered a typhoon or a big storm.

Modern technology is so advanced that it is possible to predict typhoons in advance.The typhoon can be avoided when sailing at sea, but this time Fang Ze and the others were unlucky and encountered a sudden typhoon.

The pirate created by Fang Ze was a character from the age of great exploration in the [-]th century.At that time, typhoons were often encountered when sailing on the sea. If you can escape, you will be lucky, but if you cannot escape, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

Naturally, when it comes to the ability to survive typhoons, Fang Ze's experience far exceeds that of the captain.

After understanding Fang Ze's meaning, the captain turned on the radio and reminded the crew on board to hold on to the fixed objects.

The anxious people in the restaurant heard the captain's announcement, and subconsciously grabbed the fixed table next to them.Looking at the others with a pale face, some people have already felt uncomfortable during the previous voyage. If it is more bumpy, they don't know if they can persist.

Cruise ships are divided into automatic driving and manual driving. If you are driving automatically, you only need to enter the coordinates into the computer and the navigation route will appear. It is enough to drive according to the route.

And then Fang Ze will switch to manual driving, there is no doubt about the bumps, and now he can't care if others will get seasick.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the storm has begun to brew.Raindrops as big as pea dots fell on the side of the ship, making a crackling sound.

Lightning pierced the sky, bringing a brief gleam of light to this dark world, and then thunder rolled in.

The hurricane howled and howled sharply.The rolled up huge waves hit the cruise ship, and the salty sea water flew into the deck.

Seven minutes later, the cruise ship had sailed into the safe area.During this period, Fang Ze relied entirely on his own manual driving and avoided two or three small whirlpools.

The captain, who had been at sea for most of his life, looked up at Fang Ze with almost admiration.

Every small vortex Fang Ze brushes past the edge, this is undoubtedly dancing on the tip of a knife, Fang Ze can still be calm at this time, this psychological quality is against the sky.

The cruise ship sailed hard in the sea breeze, and now it has reached a safe area, and the wind and waves are no longer so strong.

But then the cruise ship will go through the eye of the wind, and that is the most dangerous time.

"Xiao Xue'er, do you think Fang Ze is under a lot of pressure right now?" In the restaurant, Zhang Xiao hugged the table and asked Xia Yixue with a pale face.

Zhang Xiao's stomach was churning now, the boat was pitching too badly, she couldn't take it anymore.If she doesn't find someone to talk to, she really can't hold on anymore.

Xia Yixue shook her head, "No, I believe he will take us out safely, I believe him, he must have that ability."

For Fang Ze, Xia Yixue believed blindly, because Fang Ze could bring her safety every time she was in danger.

And she knew that now she just had to trust Fang Ze.Any worries, any doubts are Fang Ze's disapproval.

Fang Ze has now fully integrated into driving the cruise ship, and he doesn't think about other things.

Nervousness, fear, all left behind.Now he just wants to rush into the eye of the wind, and he has also found a weak opening into the eye of the wind.

Next, he was going to rush into the eye of the typhoon.
