Vol 2 Chapter 1325: Speculative sailing
Cai He yawned. Although there was sunlight in the cabin, but the room was too big, he still turned on the oil lamp. He listened to Duran's need to record his work every day, but sometimes he was so sleepy that this work could only be done the next day, anyway, he was not busy every day.
It can be said that it is extremely boring above the sea. It processes the information sent by each ship every day and determines the location of the fleet. In addition, it is a long wait.
"... Yesterday I saw a big fish on the sea, like an island on the back, and sprayed water. I thought the big fish could swallow the boat. I don't know its name and its full picture. When I return to Daqin, ask the teacher to name it." However, the fleet ’s ships are not smaller than whales, so no accidents occurred, but some crew members thought that this was the Dragon King in the sea and said they were angry with the Dragon King. Cai He finally quelled this feudal superstition and shut down the people who spread the rumors for two days.
"... It has been 13 days to go east to the sea, and it is positioned daily with a star compass, supplemented by charts, controlling the sea breeze, and dare not slack. Since it met the island supply 10 days ago, there is no land on the 10th, the trend of the sea It is terrifying. "If Cai He had 100% confidence in Duran, he would doubt if they could not go home.
As the time on land disappeared, the crew became more and more disturbed. They did not know what would be waiting for them.
This fleet consists of three huge building ships, sixty supply boats, and twenty cargo ships. Including three thousand elite infantry of Qin State, three thousand crew members, one thousand merchants, and thousands of animals: horses, poultry, cattle and sheep.
This is definitely the largest ocean-going fleet in the world. No Romans or Macedonias have plug-ins like Duran in this era.
This is an era when all civilizations on the earth are in their own closed circles, especially the Mayan civilization in South America, which is solitary overseas and far away from other civilizations.
"Sir, there are a lot of dark clouds in front of me. I'm afraid there is a storm." This is not the first time they have encountered a storm. It can be said that the weather on the sea is more unstable.
Cai He stood up and went outdoors. He was on the second floor of the building ship. Below was a wide deck, and many sailors were cleaning the deck.
Picking up Duran's "magic weapon"-the telescope, Cai He really saw the sea water surging ahead, and the dark clouds and sea water were connected together, knowing that this is not a good phenomenon, although the ships of the fleet are very strong, but if they are overturned by the waves If they do, they are also weak.
"Submit the order, fix all the items, and then keep all the ships at a distance to prevent runaway collisions." "Command the captains of the ships, take good care of the crew, we must go through the storm." You can't hide, you can only cross .
Cai Hejian's herald officer faithfully conveyed his orders to other ships with flags, and smiled, at least he did not disappoint Master.
At the top of the flagship, there is the largest semaphore device of the fleet, as long as the watchers of the entire fleet can see it. Although there are no pinyin in this era and syllables cannot be transmitted, it is still useful to separate nautical terms. Other complicated orders still need to be passed with pigeons or direct boating.
In short, simple commands are very convenient to use flag words.
Everyone immediately acted. In the face of the storm, Cai He was also very nervous. The strong winds and big waves were enough to subvert the entire fleet. It was dark just after the sun was shining. Cai He made people light the lanterns on all corners of the building and guide the other ships. However, the lantern is also easily extinguished by the water that is thrown up. You can only judge the distance between yourself and the surrounding ships based on the blurred outline.
This time the storm is several times stronger than the previous one, this is really the temper of the sea.
Cai He couldn't help worrying, they would definitely deviate from the course in such weather. Apart from the loss of the fleet, getting lost is even more terrible.
During the first voyage, without anyone's guidance, Cai He was under great pressure. He didn't want to delay Master's task. With the ups and downs of the building ship, the guard's face changed, and they heard the sound of the ship seeming to be disconnected in their ears, but Cai He's face was as admirable as usual.
At the beginning, they still looked down on Cai and this young eunuch, but his uncompromising temperament still won the respect of the fleet.
For example, now Cai He is also focused on the chart, calculating the direction and distance they may deviate from.
Cai He didn't sleep all night. The big storm lasted day and night, and the sea calmed down the next day.
During a major storm, three cargo ships and two cargo ships were missing, and it was estimated that they were sinking. Several ships were damaged by the waves, and two were too serious to move anymore.
Cai He made a decisive decision, ignoring the lost materials and crew, and first transported the people and things on the ship that had lost power to the building ship. The entire fleet calculated the loss as soon as possible, and the injured were immediately treated; the ship with minor injuries was still repairing while walking, and they still have a long way to go.
Cai He walked back onto the deck again. The sea was still outside. Many crew members knelt on the deck to thank God for their life. The scene was very funny. Cai He did not stop this time, and there were countless difficulties ahead. A storm caused them to lose seven ships. I am afraid that by the time they return to Daqin, it will be good to leave three building ships.
You should know that other ships are not small. Although compared to two hundred meters long and thirty meters wide, the fifteen-meter-high building ship is a small boat, but this small boat is also seven or eighty meters long. It is also a monster in this era.
All are ready, Cai He looked at the sun, determined the direction, and set sail again.
So Cai He said something that clearly should not belong to this world: "All ships turn on the power mechanism, and the six marks to the left of the direction, all ships keep up."
At the bottom of the cabin, two crew members rotate a huge stone-like mechanism. Once the ship is turned on, it will be powered. It does not know the principle at all, but it can make the ship move forward quickly.
Obviously it was a great ancient sailing trip, but the power organ became less magnificent as soon as it appeared, but on the contrary, there was a little more speculation.
However, the party Cai He said that it was okay. The important thing was to complete Duran's mission to find a new continent and then circle the earth. The encounters and encounters along the way were still full of infinite unknown.
"... On the thirtieth day after going out to sea, a crew member saw a flying bird of unknown name, and I knew we were close to the land." Cai He ’s another day ’s logbook, a full thirty days of sailing, has made him fully mature. A lot of things happened after the storm, and a group of people wanted to rebel and grab the ship and return to the country to be suppressed. Cai He showed supreme martial arts, jumped from the building ship to the cargo ship where the rebellion happened 100 meters away, beheaded the promoters, and used force to deter everyone ~ www.readwn.com ~ There was also an infectious disease, Fortunately, Cai He had medicine to suppress the disease outbreak. This is not easy, the most serious is the rebellion and infectious diseases, which have almost shaken the entire fleet.
Today, a flying bird excites everyone, because the bird always has to land, which means they are already very close to the land.
"Report-" An excited long roar made Cai He stand up.
"Report, Lu ..."
Cai Hebu waited for the guard to finish his speech, and walked a few steps outdoors, and there was a undulating black shadow in the distant sky. That's right, it was land, and it would never be wrong.
Finally arrived, Cai He, in his early twenties, couldn't help but shed tears. On this way, his thin shoulders took too much and resisted too many doubts about the great country teacher. Now that he has finally arrived on the mainland, he can ask everyone It was announced that his master was right, and there was another continent on the other side of the sea.
Thinking of this, Cai He turned and bowed in the opposite direction of the mainland, expressing his trust in Dulan ’s loyalty and his joy in not insulting his mission.
