The Cursed Ship Chapter 10: Cross the sea with long winds and waves

　　 After completing the second transformation of the spirit ship, Zheng Yang put down the anchor, walked from the bow to the stern, and looked hard at his new ship.

　　Look at the spirit ship information again:

　　 finished the second renovation, it was only 8 o'clock, and I hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I happened to try cooking on the boat.

　　 There is only one flashlight for lighting, so you need to save electricity. It also happens that the night of the full moon is bright as day. Zheng Yang took out a small wood stove and various utensils from under the deck, and started cooking at the stern-dried fish and Chinese cabbage Stew corn kernels.

　　 This night, Zheng Yang slept comfortably on the ground floor, and did not enter the ghost ship dream. The hull shook gently, as if lying in a cradle.

　　 After waking up in the morning, Zheng Yang found that he, who had slept next to the front door, had already slept at the door of the bathroom at the back door.

　　"The last heavy rainstorm was very thorough. The weather has been good these days, and the wind is sunny, so it is suitable to go out to sea!"

　　 Zheng Yang stood on the bow deck and waited for a while, then set sail decisively. Xiao Zheng Yang grew up on a small island and incorporated his memories. Zheng Yang naturally knows how to predict the weather on the sea. As long as he doesn't encounter the small air pressure group that changes, his accuracy is close to ten.

　　 It’s a pity that Zheng Yang needs to change direction every time he walks, deviating from the positive direction forty-five degrees and advancing in a zigzag pattern. But don't look at the headwind. In terms of speed alone, even with the presence of the forward spinnaker, this dhow will run faster than downwind when it is headwind.

　　 Zheng Yang is fortunate to have seen the principle of the dhow in his life, which uses the "Bernoulli effect."

　　The simple explanation is that when the wind is blowing from the front to become a headwind, turn the sailboat to an angle of forty-five degrees and obliquely forward. At this time, the sea wind blows on the spinnaker surface, and the wing of the airplane will be formed due to the oblique angle. The same effect, the wind force is broken down into two forces of horizontal movement and vertical advancement. And because the longitudinal section of the sailboat in the sea (from the bow to the stern plus the stabilizing plate) is much larger than the maximum cross section (taking Zheng Yang’s spirit ship as an example, the maximum width is only 2.5 meters), which causes the sailboat to move laterally The resistance to seawater at time is also much greater than the resistance to longitudinal advancement. Therefore, under the action of the two forces resolved by the sea breeze, the sailboat will not be pushed sideways and diagonally to the rear, but will move forward slippery.

　　 Since the speed of a sailboat is related to the pressure of the sail, which is related to the area of ​​the wind, even if the wind speed is less than 3 meters per second when the slanting wind moves forward, a dhow with a huge sail surface But the speed can exceed the wind speed, and can run faster than the wind. But when the wind is downwind, even raising the spinnaker is not fast enough...

　　 Saying that Zheng Yang crossed the sea, he did not have satellite positioning, and the compass and an old chart were his means of navigation.

　　 This chart was also requested from Old Hans, and I carefully asked how to use it. Even today’s fishing boats are generally equipped with satellite positioning systems, what if the equipment breaks down? Therefore, fishermen generally still keep a copy of the chart and compass for future use.

　　Zheng Yang didn't expect to reach the English Harbour accurately on the first voyage. He set a small goal first, and he would succeed if he saw the coastline alive.

　　 Soon after leaving the shipwreck, I saw a small fishing boat on the sea in the distance. Zheng Yang picked up the telescope on his chest and looked at it. He ignored him, set the course so that the boat could glide with the wind, and then went back to wash and cook.

　　 Except for the sound of the sea breeze stirring the sails, the sailing boat is very quiet, without the roar of diesel engines and engines, and glide quietly and elegantly on the sea.

　　 Zheng Yang likes this feeling very much, and he doesn't have such a strong desire to install an engine. After eating, he even climbed onto the roof of the cabin and lay on the roof to admire the sea view-although in memory, the vast sea surface was tired of seeing it, but lying on his own boat to watch the sea feels different.

　　 The huge sail casts a large shadow area. Zheng Yang lies in the shadow area, listening to the sound of the waves breaking through the bow of the ship, and perceiving fish swimming in a 6-meter radius underwater through the spirit ship. Extremely cozy.

　　 After two major transformations, the rudder disc and several sail control reels of this sailing ship are on the bow deck. When the direction needs to be adjusted, Zheng Yang does not go down to turn the rudder, and directly consumes 1 point of psychic control. The spirit ship is automatically completed, anyway, the psionic reserve at this time is 100 points in the full grid.

　　"If there are no so-called curses and evils, it would be great!"

　　 "When you arrive in the seaport city, you have to find a way to collect knowledge about the occult, and find some ways to deal with evil. It is best to get a few holy artifacts, and look for information on the upgrade of the spirit ship-evolution."

　　 Thinking of this, Zheng Yang got up, went back to the cabin to open one of the decks, and took out a box of books from below, looking for information about occultism one by one.

　　 This box of books has actually been turned over by Zheng Yang. It contains astronomy, geography, history, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biomedicine, but these are basic books for teaching only, and it was Xiao Zheng Yang’s father who went to the harbor to buy these books. Come back and let him broaden his knowledge, each of them is so small.

　　 In addition to these, some travel novels and the like collected by his father himself over the years have also been read by Zheng Yang.

　　 So it didn't take long for Zheng Yang to give up the idea of ​​finding occult information in these books. The only ancient travel note that records the information of the spirit ship is no longer useful. In order to avoid people seeing his ship and the spirit ship associating it, Zheng Yang burned it as firewood when making breakfast.

　　 The sailboat took a zigzag route all the way to the east. The wind was low and the speed could not go up. Zheng Yang estimated that it could have about 4 knots. Because of the zigzag pattern, the speed would be less than 3 knots when converted into a straight line.

　　 The whole journey was very quiet. After eight hours of sailing, the wind direction quietly changed at 2 noon, and the wind increased significantly. Had it not been for the mental state of "the unity of man and ship" that Zheng Yang had noticed for the first time, he estimated that he would soon go wrong.

　　The sea breeze turned from the left and back, Zheng Yang quickly adjusted the direction according to the chart and compass, raised the spinnaker and sailed straight, the spirit ship's forward speed suddenly doubled, like an arrow from the string fast in front of him Shoot away.

　　 basically maintained a speed of more than 8 knots and moved forward for two hours, and the total stroke has passed halfway. Zheng Yang looked at the electronic watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

　　 Zheng Yang observed the sky for a while, predicting that the sea breeze would be even greater at night. But by then, he was not far from the coastline.

　　 Thanks to the normal weather, the first cross-sea voyage has been smooth so far. Zheng Yang feels that the skills that he learned from Old Hans to use the compass and chart to grasp the navigation direction have been integrated with theory and practice, and sailing skills Because of the subtle control of the spirit ship, he became adept at cheating.

　　 went on for half an hour. Zheng Yang was using a telescope to observe the sea in front of him. He accidentally saw a small double-decker yacht stagnant about two nautical miles away with people moving on the deck. Comparing the dimensions, the length of the yacht is about ten meters. .

　　 "It seems that they are close to the destination. Are these people planning to fish in the deep sea? They will stay here at this point."

　　 On the yacht ahead, a few young people are waiting for rescue, some people are still making satellite calls. Someone also spotted the approaching sailing boat with sharp eyes, yelled in excitement, and kept waving to the sailing boat.

　　"They seem to be very happy, saying hello to me. Encountering another ship in the vast ocean is really very happy!"

　　 Zheng Yang thought so, because he was also very happy, so he fine-tuned his direction and drove the sailing boat closer to the yacht, stalking silently like a big fish.

　　 There is no mechanical power. This kind of deceleration and parking when approaching the target is a test of driving skills. It is necessary to fully grasp the inertia and make accurate predictions. Ten minutes later, Zheng Yang retracted the spinnaker and slowed down; fifteen minutes later, the distance to the yacht was within 100 meters, Zheng Yang also lowered the spinnaker and continued to glide by inertia.

　　 finally heard the shouts from the yacht, to Zheng Yang's surprise, they were asking for help.

　　 This is a double-deck small yacht that can take less than ten people, and the second floor only has an awning.

　　 Zheng Yang’s prediction was not very accurate. The sailboat glided four meters away from the yacht, and stopped moving nearly ten meters ahead, which caused another yelling on the yacht.

　　 embarrassing.

　　 Zheng Yang ran to the stern and waved his hand first as a response. Seeing the other side calm down, he said: "What's your situation?"

　　 There are seven people on the yacht~IndoMTL.com~three men and four women, all of them in their twenties, all dressed casually and coolly. Men’s beach pants and short-sleeved shirts or T-shirts, women’s long skirts, short skirts and hot pants even have a bikini.

　　 Looking at the four young and beautiful girls, Zheng Yang's heart is hot.

　　Any young model in a club is more desirable than having a big boat of your own and taking a few beautiful women out to sea!

　　 mad waves mad waves mad waves...

　　 There, everyone on the yacht looked at each other, and one of the black guys exaggeratedly exclaimed:

　　 "Hey, brother, please don't tell me you are driving this sailing boat alone!"

　　 is too unexpected. Just now I saw Zheng Yang working in the bow of the ship, and thought he was cooperating with the captain. Now I saw Zheng Yang running from the front to the back to respond. It was clear at a glance that there was no one else in the cabin. They I was surprised that Zheng Yang seemed to be the only person on this sailing boat.

　　 This is obviously just a young boy, a few years younger than them, just sailing on a sailboat alone?

　　God, are you kidding me!

　　 Other people also probe their heads into the cabin of the sailboat. They really can't believe this fact.

　　 "Don't look at it, I'm alone!" Zheng Yang said while supporting a pillar on the side of the stern that supports the awning.

　　 "Oh, my God, it's amazing!"

　　The girl in hot pants is petite and the youngest in this group. She is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is very delicate and beautiful. She held her head in her hands at this moment, and her big sea-blue eyes looked at Zheng Yang desperately, shocked.

　　 The tall and beautiful girl in a gorgeous beach dress clapped her hands to attract everyone’s attention, and said, "I said everyone, we should discuss how to go back now, instead of marveling here... Oh my God, we are drifting, think about it. The way, Entes?"
