Chapter 234 Sailor School
The spring of 1029 came earlier than in previous years. Kaspar got up early, arranged the pillows, folded the quilt into tofu cubes, changed into long-sleeved sportswear with his classmates, and came to the playground to start participating Daily laps.

Sea ships are a place that places great emphasis on discipline. Recently, the Dawn Chamber of Commerce has counted the casualties of seafarers in the database. The proportion of violating safety regulations and then dying is second only to encountering pirates, and it actually exceeds nature.

Frederick and Adiken made up their minds and decided to train students according to the navy's standards to minimize unnecessary casualties.

In order to train these students who were farmers and craftsmen not long ago into disciplined sailors, there are many places in the school to strengthen discipline, and even require everyone to walk in the same pace when running circles.

During breakfast, Caspar found that Duke Wesson was queuing behind him.

As soon as he wanted to make room, Frederick smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm fine in line."

Casparma replied: "Master, I found that my tableware seems to be dirty, I will wash it!"

His voice was not too loud, but the people in front of the queue consciously went to wash the dishes, and Frederick came to the first position with a black line.

Today's breakfast is tomato chicken noodles, two boiled eggs, and a cup of herbal tea so strong that it is about to crystallize.

The taste of this tea is not very good, but on the boat, people usually drink tea made from various strange plants to prevent diseases. Getting sick at sea is almost like jumping into the sea with a stone in their arms.

Frederick called Casper over to sit with him, and asked while eating, "What class do you have today?"

Kasparma replied: "Signaling and anti-seasickness training in the morning, combat training in the afternoon, and physical training in the evening."

Frederick nodded, and this time he asked the students next to Kasper, "What else do you have to teach?"

The student was older and replied nervously: "Report to the principal, we still have swimming, knotting, skimming, sailing, boat repairing, maintenance, rowing, safety regulations, oh, and listening to stories told by the instructor."

Seeing that he was quite strong and seemed to have received military training, Frederick asked, "What's your name?"

"Alfred." The student replied, "Can I leave out my last name?"

Frederick just nodded, and then said to them: "Today I will follow your class."

The students around didn't respond, but the faces of the instructors turned bitter.

Frederick finished all his official duties and was about to leave for the Kingdom of Sardinia in a while. As a result, Philip heard the news and took Maria back. He came here to relax in depression.

Now Frederick's side is empty, Maria has gone back, Lilu has gone to sea with Adiken, Susan has started to learn medical skills from her grandfather, Altaxia has returned to Cod Island to dig the fire magic crystal, and his personal maid Tarot Recently, she is getting ready for marriage. The girl in her early twenties is considered late to get married at this age, so she won't go to the Kingdom of Sardinia with him.

Signal flags and lights are commonly used means of communication at sea. Today, Beihai still uses the signaling system of the Guild Hall Alliance back then, and no one thinks about replacing it with a new one.

Frederick took two flags, and under the leadership of the instructor, he and the students shouted slogans and did signal flag exercises, from 0 to 9 to all letters, and the corresponding flags were typed out after shouting one.

The first half of the class was all used to practice in order. After a short break, the second half of the class began. The instructor asked Frederick to come on stage, and he called out a number or letter, and the students used semaphore to indicate.

Frederick yelled 1234 one after another, and no one did anything wrong. As a result, when 4 was yelled after 6, a small half of the people played the semaphore of 5. The instructor was so angry that they went over and kicked each of them, and asked them to clean the toilet for ten days.

After the class ended, Kaspar and other students began to look serious, and many of them went to the toilet first.

The next step is anti-seasickness training, all of which were invented by Frederick.

Frederick didn't know much about anti-seasickness, but he still knew a little about anti-sickness training for pilots, so he created a lot of training facilities, which were quite useful according to the old sailors.

The instructors here dare not let the principal use the equipment, in case something happens to him, he will be miserable.

Frederick didn't make it difficult for them, he just watched from the sidelines.

Kasper got on the fixed roller, stood on the big iron wheel with arms and legs apart, and then the others started to turn the iron wheel.

The student named Alfred got on the Giant Swing and spun the rollers. After he stood up and held it steady, he began to swing back and forth, and finally started to turn in circles.

Some students sat on a four-post swing. This guy is like a pirate ship in an amusement park, but it is much smaller and it is still propelled by manpower.

These few training sessions are just appetizers, the real difficulty is the two training equipments that have just been made recently

The heaving anti-seasickness simulation trainer simulates the up and down action of the ship in the sea. The user sits in the narrow cabin, and the cabin starts to reciprocate up and down after the door is closed.

The old sailors thought this thing was very exciting, and many instructors even used it to compete to see who could support it for a long time.

There is also a simulated cabin. In a circular pool, there is a smaller cabin floating on the water surface. There are several wooden poles around it. After the students sit in, others will manipulate the wooden poles to make the cabin rotate and shake up and down.

After such a set of training, only a few students seemed to be fine, most of them were a little dizzy, and a small number of people sat on the ground and returned to their souls.

In the afternoon, the students' fighting training was carried out on the waves.

The dummy was placed on the four corners of the plank like a swing. The students stood on the swaying plank and chopped the dummy with unsharp machetes.

Frederick tried it, and he did well. Years of training kept him in good shape, and his movements were not deformed by shaking.

During dinner, he found Frio, who was in charge of the teaching work. This middle-aged man was extremely strong, and he never left the bottle of wine, and he had been floating on the sea for decades.

Frederick asked him: "What is the level of these students after graduation?"

After taking a sip of wine, Frio replied: "They are all good boys. After a few trips to the sea, they are qualified sailors. It is much better than directly recruiting people who know nothing."

Frederick smiled and said, "That's all because of your good teaching."

After taking two sips of wine, Fulio asked, "My lord, have you heard of the legend of the king of the sea?"

Frederick thought for a while and said: "I read it in the book. It is said that he was once the most powerful man on the sea. He visited every inch of the coast of the land, and visited every port with the most beautiful woman. To the deep sea."

Fulio nodded and said, "Yes, there is another legend about him. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"He went west on his last voyage, and was never heard from again."

"After more than ten years, someone found his boat near Cod Island. Everyone on board died. His body was found in the captain's cabin. He was writing a letter before he died."

"There was no addressee on the letter, only half a sentence, which said 'You are right, I found out'."

"The great-grandfather of one of my neighbors was one of the sailors who found the ship. He also went into the captain's cabin and saw the letter, which he later wrote in his diary."

Frederick squeezed his chin and said, "So, there is something extraordinary in the west of the ocean."

Frio drank his wine and said, "It's just that the ship's logbook is missing. No one knows whether the west is hell or heaven."

"At that time, some people also went to sea to search west, but no one came back. Everyone said that the west is hell, and the crew members were all starved to death by the devil pulling out their teeth. After a while, no one mentioned this anymore."

Frederick nodded, thinking that he probably knew what was going on.

If there is a new continent here, then the Peach Blossom Stone in the east may have already arrived first, and it is estimated that the route of the galleon is taken.

Here Frederick doesn't want to hand over the honor of discovering the New World to others, let's talk about it later.
