Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 221 Sea Storm
The wind became stronger and stronger, and Chu Yun's face became distorted and turned pale.The waves began to be restless, and huge waves several meters high began to beat the ship.This is clearly a typhoon at sea!
"Lower the mainsail, raise the triangular sail, stay away from the eye of the storm!" Nelson and other naval officers hurriedly directed the naval soldiers to deal with this unexpected natural disaster.

Almost all the naval soldiers were in a hurry to follow the operations during the usual exercises.This moment is the life and death moment that really tests the sailors!Most of the sailors on board the Victory were former naval soldiers of Great Britain who fought in the Atlantic Ocean. They had rich experience in fighting storms, and they were much calmer than soldiers on other ships when dealing with typhoons that were not too crazy.

Huge waves kept beating the Victory, and the Victory was rolled up by the huge waves, fluctuating, and Chu Yun on the deck couldn't stand steadily.And around him are soldiers who are busy fighting against the sea storm.

"Major Ira, I want to command the fleet, and I will leave it to you, the commander." Nelson, who has the most experience in sailing, did not dare to underestimate the sudden typhoon. What's more, he not only has to lead the Victory against the typhoon, but also to ensure The entire fleet was safe and sound.As for the burden of this fleet, Chu Yun didn't have time to take care of it.

Not just the strong wind, but as the eye of the storm approached, the rain fell from the sky. The strong wind, heavy rain, and big waves made Chu Yun tremble with fear.The Victory has a draft of thousands of tons, but even a modern 100-ton ship cannot say that it is [-]% confident that it can survive a typhoon at sea. As a wooden sail, the Victory cannot guarantee that it will survive a typhoon at sea.

"The lord will follow me back to the cabin. There are our brave sailors on the deck. They will definitely be able to keep the Victory." Ayla took a few navy soldiers to protect Chu Yun.

Boom!The sudden huge wave rolled onto the deck, slammed Chu Yun heavily against the wall of the ship, and Chu Yun was almost swept into the sea!

Chu Yun, whose whole body was wet by the seawater, got up and felt pain all over his body.The waves were still churning, the waves were raging, and the rain was pouring down, which made Chu Yun a little confused.

Chu Yun's guards and the naval soldiers led by Ayla were also overturned by the big waves. After getting up, they immediately searched for Chu Yun's whereabouts.

"Master, follow me into the cabin!" Aila couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Chu Yun hadn't been swallowed into the sea by the huge waves.

Chu Yun hastily led people into the cabin.The naval soldiers staying on the deck sealed the entrance of the cabin with wooden boards and canvas to prevent the seawater brought by the big waves from pouring into the cabin.

Hoo, hoo.After entering the safer cabin, Chu Yun regained his strength slightly.

"Uncle, it's so dangerous to sail at sea." Chu Yun took the towel, wiped off the sea water and rain on his face, and said bitterly.

Just a little bit, he was buried in the sea!

The storm was still going on, and the huge hull of the Victory was shaking violently in the terrifying storm. Even in the cabin, Chu Yun could feel the surging waves outside.One can imagine the pressure on Nelson and the sailors who are still fighting the big waves on the deck.

"At this time, I can only pray to heaven." Ella was also wet by the huge waves and was wiping her hair.

Pray, Chu Yun smiled wryly. In the face of nature, the sail seemed so powerless, and there seemed to be no better way than to pray.

By the way, I don't know if the system in my body can do it?

"System, is there any way for the ship to escape this storm? I am willing to pay all my civilization points in exchange for the safety of the fleet." Chu Yun asked the industrial revolution system consciously.

"..." The industrial revolution system was silent for a while, "Do you think I am omnipotent? But you don't have to worry, according to the system's calculations, the probability of the Victory sinking in this storm is only [-]%. You have great Chances are you won't die."

"Then I'm relieved... Wait, no, what if I win the [-]%?" Chu Yun said anxiously.

I haven't established a great empire across the seven oceans, how can I die in a storm in this small Ryukyu Islands?
"You'd better pray that you don't become that [-] percent." The industrial revolution system fell into a deep sleep after finishing speaking.

Alas, I still think the expedition is too easy.Chu Yun regretted going into the sea himself. In the vast ocean, the death rate is quite high.

Chu Yun drifted for half a day in fear, before the cabin gradually calmed down, as if the wind and waves outside were not so big.

The wooden boards of the cabin were opened, and Deng Qianlong got out of the cabin: "Fortunately, the military lord, we have escaped from the eye of the storm. Although there is still some wind and rain, but there is no serious problem."

Chu Yun, who was in panic all day long in the cabin, finally felt relieved after hearing this: "Are General Nelson and the others all right?"

"General Nelson is fine, but..."

"But what?"

"We had a gunboat and a supply ship sunk by the storm, and the rest of the ships were damaged. Some of the sunken ships were rescued, and some... I'm afraid they were killed..."

Two ships sank... Chu Yun was silent for a while.Such a loss is a disaster for the fleet of the newly established Liao Army.

"I'm going to the deck." Chu Yun felt distressed when he heard the news that the two ships had sunk.

When Chu Yun returned to the deck, the sky was still gray and it was raining lightly.The deck is in a mess, and the sailors are cleaning it up.Many sailors who were fighting the storm on deck were swept into the sea because of the storm.The sailors of the Victory have seen many such disasters, and they can bear the pain of losing their comrades.However, the sailors on other ships other than the Victory fell into grief and helplessness.

Many of them struggled against such a storm for the first time and experienced the cruelty of long voyages.

"Calculate the list of casualties. For the sailors who died in this voyage, the pension will be doubled." Chu Yun could only use money to appease the soldiers a little.

In this shipwreck, the loss of a 24-gun gunship and a supply ship, plus the damage to the rest of the warships, was less than a day, causing direct losses of more than 10 taels of silver, not to mention sacrifices. soldiers.

Although the fleet suffered a storm, the voyage continued, and the fleet gradually sailed towards Miyako Island in the gloomy weather.The typhoon is expected to last for another two or three days, and it is not known whether there will be a stronger storm behind. After leaving the center of the storm, Nelson and others pulled up the sails and headed towards Miyako Island at full speed. Make sure nothing goes wrong.

Finally, Chu Yun saw the edge of Miyako Island filled with mist on the deck.
