Watching the Dawn

Vol 7 Chapter 54: Racer

"Oh ~ Oh ~, I'm almost done! Please, please give me a good time!" Elizabeth finished vomiting and looked pitifully at the landing. The so-called "give a happy" is not to let Lu Yuan finish her meaning, but to hope that Lu Yuan will cast a zero-ring spell of "lifting resistance" towards her ...

Lu Yuan took two young girls on board, and Misha was just fine. She was no stranger to life on the sea. When she was a child, she often sat in a canoe to shuttle between the big ships entering the port, selling some small things and snacks. For what it is. But Elizabeth collapsed completely, and in this "spacious" captain's room, squeezed together with Lu Yuan and Misha, vomiting in darkness.

Lu Yuan also had no way to do it. Occasionally cast an "enhance resistance" against her. Unexpectedly, it had a wonderful effect on the treatment of seasickness! Unfortunately, this spell can only be maintained for one minute, and Lu Yuan cannot come every minute anyway.

"It's strange, how did you get dizzy like this, how did you come by boat from Europe?"

"That's ... vomit ~ big ship ... vomit ~ please."

"Lu ..." Seeing Elizabeth's state, Misha could only grab the hand that landed far, and looked pitifully. It was just like Elizabeth, maybe her pirate dream was completely shattered before she even started.

"Okay, but this time, how about we use special medicine?"

"And ... vomiting ~ special effects ... quick ... quick use!" Elizabeth urged impatiently, Misha, who knew what, turned her head guilty. Hearing the sound of "Boo" and looking back again, Lu Yuan had withdrawn his palm and caught the faint Elizabeth.

"I'll give it to you, help her clean it up, I ... go to the deck to soak up the wind." Lu Yuan handed the knocked Elizabeth to Misha, and a "magic trick" cleaned the room and went out alone.

"Dugus" Sloop sloop: The hull is small and the surname is excellent, suitable for near-shore reconnaissance, coastal patrol and trade transportation.

Six-Star Offshore Sailing, Captain: Mike

Durable hull sails Durable sailing speed: 15.04 knots, steering maneuverability, wind-bearing efficiency, load-bearing capacity, British crew, crew: 23/73, firepower configuration: 12 pound guns / 0 doors

Loading information: 3000 barrels of rum (high quality)

...

——————

The "Dugus" Sloop schooner is a long, narrow, single-masted schooner, the main sail is a slanted sail, the bow is hung with a triangular bow sail and a triple slant jib. This kind of boat is fast, and it reached the 20th century. Later it was widely used on private yachts and rowing boats.

This kind of boat is easy to control, fast, and simple to install.

The disadvantage is that the slant sail requires a large area of ​​canvas, because the quality of the canvas is far inferior to that of future generations, so the sail needs to be replaced frequently. Once the sloping sails are damaged, the speed will immediately drop significantly. Hitting the sails with chain bombs during artillery battles can also cause major problems, so it is usually better to use this kind of sailboat as a sailboat, but it is very bad when it is a battleship.

When Lu Yuan walked up the deck, the ship had just sailed out of the Gulf of Havana-that is to say, less than half an hour before the suffering of Elizabeth had just begun! Lu Yuan returned with all his heart and threw her down.

The "Dugus" avoided the big ships entering and leaving the port, sailed to the shallow water channel on the left side, and took advantage of the convenience of the windsurfer to grab the wind, quickly caught a wind and turned, opened all the sails, and walked briskly The coastline drove west, leaving the lighthouse of Havana behind.

The so-called six-star ship is nothing more than a ten-meter-long offshore boat, which needs to advance against the coastline. If you want to enter the deep sea area, you need a boat with more than four stars. In Lu Yuan's view, his first ship could not be lower than the five-star rating. In front of him, this six-star ship was too small for him!

Because of the small ship, their route had to be designed to circle the Cuban island first, and then to Trinidad port via the port of Nombre de Dios and the port of Ivan Grista, which took two days and one night. Then we will depart from Trinidad and pass San Diego to Port-au-Prince. It will take two days and two nights. You have to stop at least three times on the way.

Lu Yuan walked along the narrow hull and quickly reached the stern of the ship.

Mike, the captain of the "Dugus", is standing there. Seeing Lu Yuan on the deck, he greeted enthusiastically: "Hey, Lu, what do you think of my baby? ! "

"Great! The speed is as fast as an arrow!"

"Of course! My baby is Cuba's premier Clipper!"

"Mike ... oh no, Mr. Captain! On your ship, we must use the honorific title."

"Haha, Lu, you are really interesting. You are a good guy. You will make a lot of money this time!"

"Thank you, Captain Mike! You know, I am a young man who loves the sea. Can you give me a chance to try it?" Lu Yuan looked at the wheel rudder in Mike's hand with a hot expression.

"Hahaha, say what, come on! Come and try! I was like you when I was young, full of curiosity! For the first time, I secretly took the helm and was beaten hard by my dad! Of course, then he rewarded me with a bottle Rum! "Mike snapped his shoulders far away and dragged him to the wheel.

"Look, so, be gentle, like **** ..." Under Mike's guidance, Lu Yuan swiveled the rudder like a beginner, allowing the boat to draw a slightly swaying white arc on the sea.

"Good job, young man! Good job!" Mike boasted a few words. Anyway, there are no big waves, the weather is very good, and there are no reefs in this route. It is nothing to let him play for a few more minutes.

At the moment Lu Ding's ears continued to ring.

[You sail the ship and get +1 sailing]

[You sail the ship and get +1 sailing]

...

Lu Yuan is embarrassed, posing as an online game host ... Lord God, what about your festival?

However, after changing the six-star ship, the value of "Navigation" originally stuck at 31 began to rise. Since there is such a good opportunity, Lu Yuan can of course not let it go.

"That, respected Captain Mike, to thank you for your generosity, I have two bottles of superb rum in my luggage, which is my personal treasure! That's right, that red backpack. Can I give you a bottle? ? You can arrange for your lieutenant to get it. "

"Ogar's, is that true? Really the best rum from Havana? No, don't nod, I have to take care of my heart. That's too precious, I don't worry about letting others do it, or myself Go! You know, sailors are three-handed bugs! You can practice for a while, and I will go back!

Young man, let go, I'm optimistic about you! "

After speaking loudly, Captain Mike hurried away.

Lu Yuan guessed that he would drink both bottles before coming up. Rum is like a drug to a sailor. Especially the best, the best rum with no residue, emerald green, and sleeping pills!

"Yeah ~~~~" Lu Yuan screamed, turned the rudder violently, and now it's my turn! "Hi! Big man! Big man! Do yourself a favor! Take one third of the main sail!"

The first officer standing underneath the main sail was a middle-aged man with a squirting tongue. He wriggled his lips and wanted to say something. In the end, he didn't say anything against it! Because the hull had begun to lean at this time because of the excessive wind, he could only take one-third of the main sail according to Lu Yuan's instructions.

I saw that the "Dugus" Slop schooner seemed to pause lightly and then shot like an arrow! It's like flying against the water! Many sailors on the deck barely grasped the cables around them to maintain balance. Everyone looked at the young man sailing in astonishment!

Even though they are the crew of the fastest sailing ship in Cuba, it seems that they only experience such a sense of speed when the wind is strong!

But Lu Yuan seemed to be unaware that he was immersed in the sailboat! The ship is like a huge mechanical structure, and with his analysis of wind, Gulfstream and ship forces, it is easy to choose the best combination! So the young people made strange noises from time to time, and the ships were swaying from side to side, gradually accelerating, getting rid of the shackles of the sea and advancing at an unprecedented speed!

Captain Mike also felt the movement of the ship as he drank delicious rum in the cabin. Only this time, as long as Lu Yuan does not drive the ship on land, he will never come out! God, this wine is really delicious! He held the wine and leaned on the cabin, murmured.

Every time Lu Yuan makes a large-scale movement, the nautical skills have a visible increase.

"Everyone is on the port side!" Lu Yuan shouted, when the hull had begun to lean, and the port side was tilted upward. So more than a dozen sailors on the deck, including the first officer, had to rush to the port side, sitting on the side of the ship as Lu Yuan told, pulling the cable so that most of the body stretched out of the ship!

Toss with this **** boy!

With a dangerous gurgling, the last third of the main sail also opened, and the ship leaned, but because of the efforts of the sailors, they did not turn over, so they ripped open on the sea in a dangerous pose A curved white trace, in the collective excitement of the crew, "fly" faster!

"Oh my god! You must be crazy!" Misha, who could not stand the bumps in the cabin, walked out of the captain's room and was shocked by the sloping deck. No storm!

"Come on! Misha! Hahaha! Yeah ~~~~" Lu Yuan shouted, "Come here! Baby! Come here!"

Misha screamed and ran across the sloping deck, rushing into his arms and hugging him. "I love you! I love to die like this!" Misha yelled with bright eyes!

"Call more buddies!" Lu Yuan shouted, "We are going to bend!"

"Crossing the corner ?!" The first officer turned his head and opened his mouth wide. This place has already reached the northeast corner of Cuba Island. Will he turn around to the south? ! "Oh my god! It's too fast! How did you do it, man! Now there are at least 25 sessions!"

Even the steadfast first officer was a little crazy. He took out a small hammer and struck a small iron plate on the gas window. "Everyone is on deck! Everyone!"

"Damn! I still need to sleep!" Was awakened by the emergency call, the part of the sailor who took a rest in the cabin, just scolded and slammed the ground, and was thrown to the side. "! Have we encountered a storm?"

The sailors rushed to the deck one by one, and then were shouted, "Guys, come here! Come with us!", And immediately joined the ranks of the ballast gang. "So fast !? Are we crazy ?! My heart!"

After more than a dozen new sailors joined, the ship's tilt was greatly eased, and it gradually became balanced. Misha no longer felt a sense of fear, and began to scream with her! Especially when the ship sails close to the coastline, the trees, cliffs, and small ports in your eyes are suddenly thrown away, which is very enjoyable!

Wait ... small port? ! "We missed the port of Nombre de Dios!" Misha exclaimed.

"No! We have passed through the port of Nombre de Dios! We never stop!" Lu Yuan shouted Zhang Yang! Sailing ship, it really is that everyone gets together. Every sailor was enjoying the moment with excitement, and Lu Yuan took out a dozen rum bottles from the space box, "Go and give them!"

Misha dragged the box happily and ran towards the sailors. She seemed to be a noble lady, but she could distribute rum to the sailors without care. Everyone took it shyly and shouted. Surprised, bite the cork and drink.

"Crossing ~~~"

Lu Yuan looked at the headland cliff in front of him and yelled, and further forward was the endless sea, and it was 200 kilometers away to reach Mexico. "We are going to cross the Yucatan Strait!"

"Crossing!" Most of the sailors still sat on the port side cheering, only the first officer looked at the young sailor with some anxiety. He has to admit that this guy is really great! But crossing the Yucatan Strait is different. The wind direction in this strait is north-south, and the driver must first consider the wind direction ...

"Wow!" Just came to the side of the mast with four senior sailors, ready to help him, and saw the boat rushing towards the cliff of the headland at an acute angle!

"God, is it out of control ?!" Just when he thought it was a driving error and turned to think of rushing to the stern to grab the rudder, he saw Lu Yuan's hand steady on the rudder, Jing Ruo Tingyuan Standing there, calmly adjusting the direction of the wheel rudder one by one.

The first officer, including the sailors, gradually realized that the ship would rub around the cliff! This is not just a matter of the shortest route! Also includes wind! No matter how the wind in the strait changes, the wind under the island is blocked by the island, just like the flowing water, it must flow along the island!

So exciting!

And in this way, the driver does not need to consider the problem of changing the wind direction, and there is no need to repeatedly adjust the sail in a short time! How did he learn these things?

The ship is getting closer and closer to the cliff at a very fast speed! The sailors all looked nervously in front of the headland cliffs like a beast! From the perspective of a ship in the distance, the ship crashed into the cliff!

"Touch the cliff!" Lu Yuan shouted suddenly with excitement. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Misha, who was the first to react, screamed and rushed to the port side, reaching out hard! So the sailors thought of it, this is a golden opportunity! They were unbelievable, but happily rushed to the side of the port side, leaned out and tried hard to reach out!

"Grab the sails and don't fall!" Wind and water pushed the Sloop schooner to its limits! Then the rudder deflects and the hull tilts sharply. When turning, the huge centrifugal force acts on the hull again, allowing the speed to break through the limit and go straight to the top!

All the sailors gathered on the port side, and the balance of the centrifugal force was just right. Turned a very beautiful 230 degree bend! When the closest to the cliff, the mast of the ship leaning inwards will almost be scraped to the top of the cliff!

"I have touched it! I have touched it!" A sailor roared with excitement, holding the soil and moss that had been buckled from the cliff on the headland. "Me too!" "And me!" They roared one after another, showing more or less green mud on their hands. Only Misha uttered her tongue and shrank her hand at the last minute.

At the moment when everyone jumped, the ship swept across the narrow headland like a bird, and left countless ships behind, smoothly re-entering the east-west monsoon ...

"This is an experience that I will never forget!" The first officer walked to Lu Yuan and saluted. "I'm so excited to pee my pants!"

Many sailors did that! Especially the sailor who caught the mud of the cape, he thought it must be his lucky day today, so he hoped to find a box to save the mud.

When Misha came back, she lay on his back and gasped violently. "Touch me below!" She said behind Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan reached out and explored it, it was more moist than the sea water on the side! Actually high into this way.

She licked her lips charmingly and returned to the captain's room to change clothes.

Passion is followed by fatigue. Most of the sailors went to rest one after another. The first officer took a few people to check if there was any problem with the voyage. The boat with a single-mast slanted sail is already very vertical, with the help of Misha. Occasionally, Lu Yuan made use of the "activate rope" spell, and the ship's speed continued through the Ivan Grista on Youth Island Port, went straight to Trinidad.

When it was almost night, Lu Yuan was driving a light clipper, and finally sailed out of the coral reef islands, seeing Trinidad in the distance.

"Oh, this is good wine."

Mike walked out staggeringly, looking at the scene dizzyingly, "Okay, boy, it's time to give me the baby back. Ha ha, let me see, where are we ..." He wiped Eyes, incredulously towards Trinidad, confirmed again ...

"God! How long have I been drunk ?!"

Fuck fuck

"Congratulations," when Lu Yuan returned the rudder to Captain Mike, and came down from the stern on the stern, the very first-looking first officer came to congratulate him.

Seeing Lu Yuan's doubtful eyes, he took out his pocket watch and pointed to the number above, saying, "It took 16 and a half hours from Havana to Trinidad. I think you set an unprecedented record, sir! Me and me His friends will pass on this matter, I believe that it is the King of Spain, and I hope you can help him sail the boat! "Immediately, he smiled for the first time, and his white teeth," Of course, not so fast , You will scare him! "

"Hahaha, thank you, can you tell me your name?" Lu Yuan felt that the first mate had a deep affection for him now, so he wanted to cultivate feelings and would be able to solicit it in the future! In the future, if you have a ship, a gun, and a base, then you must consider the question of the adjutant!

"Doug! My name is Doug, sir." Obviously, the first officer, Doug, also meant this. A nobleman who sails so beautifully must be a great captain in the future! But ... obviously Lu Yuan has doubts about his name. The two Dougs he met, one Doug Sudong xx, one Doug Lie, and his results were not good.

"Oh, it's ... a good name ... many people call this recently ..." So Lu Yuan can only say so perfunctory, so farewell first.

After driving the boat for more than ten hours in a row, even Lu Yuan was exhausted. He didn't enter the smoky and damp cabin, he found a clean place directly on the deck, and fell asleep soon.

It was almost midnight and Lu Yuan was woken up by a ringing bell.

He opened his eyes and saw a lighthouse stood not far away, with flames burning above it, which could be seen more than a dozen nautical miles on such a clear night. Slup schooner sailed into the waterway at a very slow speed. There was a small boat in front of him. One person rocked the boat and the other held the bell and jingled to guide the boat. Lu Yuan was awakened by him.

Trinidad is a small port, and there are no good docking conditions, and as a semi-military port, its entry and exit are very strict. The "Dugus" lined up for four hours ~ www.readwn.com ~ before they were qualified to enter Hong Kong. In Lu Yuan ’s recorded history, even if it was so tightly defended, Trinidad was still occupied by British pirates a few years later, and then transferred to the United Kingdom, becoming a nail that the British nailed on the island of Cuba. Made an outpost for the occupation of Havana.

[The fastest legend: It only takes 16 hours and 44 minutes from the port of Havana to the port of Trinidad. You not only created an amazing result, but also broke the speed record of the sailing ship for three hundred years! The fastest speed is when you pass the Yucatan Strait, and you get the title "Speed ​​Racer" per hour, with a reputation of +500. 】

[Speed ​​Racer: When equipped with a title, the steering surname of the ship can be increased by 15%, and the "nautical" skill +10. 】

Lu Yuan looked at his “Navigation” skill of 43, and after being equipped with the title of “Speed ​​Racer”, his navigation skill reached 53, which exceeded the ownership and driving standards of the five-star ship. “Well, it seems that I need to adjust my goal "..." (to be continued.)
