Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 25: Start sailing

　　 Ivan is not a pure idealist. The ancestors of the family have the courage to explore the unknown world. The spirit of exploring the unknown world is worthy of recognition, but under the circumstances of being poor and white, it would be too empty and illusory to sell iron and investment ideals.

　　 However, when I truly master the power to control my own destiny, Ivan will probably follow in the footsteps of the ancestors of Galliot and choose to see the sky and water of this world!

　　 "Then... Warrant Officer Alvin, you have to come on, I'm very strict!"

　　 "Thank you, Captain, I will work hard!"

After 　　 sang and talked, both my uncle and nephew laughed at the same time. The feeling of alienation that hadn't been seen in five years gradually dissipated, and the two really began to get closer.

　　 push the cups and change the cups, concentrate on enjoying the rare food on the table, and chat until late at night.

　　 It’s just that another episode occurred the day after Ivan and Geer met.

　　 Early in the morning, Geer took Ivan back to the shore and found Ivan’s instructor Major Eugene.

　　 "Sir Gehr, early!"

　　Looking at Gehr who opened the door, Major Eugene, who was processing the documents, immediately got up and saluted. Whether it is the rank of colonel, the rank of knight, or the status of the captain of the main battleship, he needs to be treated with respect.

　　 At this time, he noticed that Ivan, who was coming in with Geer, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at himself, thinking that he was young and energetic and had caused some trouble on the colonel's boat.

　　 "Did this kid get into trouble as soon as he boarded the ship? You leave him to me and I will take care of him."

　　 Major Eugene said to clean up Aven, but secretly winked at Aven, the feeling of back protection was beyond words.

　　"Hahaha, Major Eugene, Ivan did not cause trouble, on the contrary, I want to thank you for sending him to my boat!

　　Walk around, let's go to the pub and say slowly, Aiwen and I will toast you! "

　　 Regardless of whether it's actually breakfast time, Gehr took Major Eugene to drink. Now Geer regards it as the benefactor who helped him and Aiwen reunite, and gave him the opportunity to make up for his friend's debts for several years. In any case, he must thank him before setting sail.

　　 Soon, the three of them were already seated in the tavern, and Lugel had already clarified Ivan’s situation to Eugene.

　　 "The kid is ignorant, and he didn't tell the family when he ran out. Fortunately, it was a great help to let you send it to my boat." Geer brought the wine glass to Eugene very sincerely.

　　" Officer Geer is polite. I was just doing my duty. I didn't think about it so much at the time. I just couldn't bear to watch Ivan waste time on the communication ship.

　　 An excellent young man like him can only get the best training when he gets on the chief's boat. "

　　 Eugene's attitude is very humble, not only did not take credit, but secretly complimented the pair of uncles and nephews, and there was a smile on Geer's somewhat cold face.

　　 The two chiefs can chat together.

　　, however, Ivan, who was sitting next to him, could only pretend to be a "problem child", smiled and respected Eugene a few cups, and by the way he rolled his eyes several times.

　　 In his mind, Ivan’s image has also been quietly changed from a lonely and desolate side branch to a young master of the family. Eugene, who was originally sympathetic to Ivan, would have to be if he weren’t still here. Kicked Ivan's ass.

　　 Oh, co-authoring with me, I am very compassionate, and finally helped you find a bright future thanks to the favor, but instead sent you to your relatives’ boat? What about it?

　　 But Eugene was not really angry. After all, young people, there is always this kind of aggressiveness of newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers, and it is understandable not to rely on the family to prove their abilities single-handedly.

　　 But most of these "calves" will recognize reality after several years of severe beatings in society. Although they have grown up, they have actually been wasted for a long time, and some of the gains outweigh the gains.

　　 From this point of view, in the end, it’s a good thing to make a mistake. I really admire Irvine, now with his uncle, Colonel Geer, his military career will definitely go smoother and avoid many detours.

　　 is actually very happy for him in my heart!

　　......

　　 Silver Wing stayed in Hong Kong this time for a total of two days, after a short period of maintenance of the ship, personnel repairs, and replenishment of supplies, it will continue to engage in cruise missions within the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet.

　　 And considering the outstanding ability of Colonel Gehr, their mission route risk factor will be relatively high.

　　 However, the sailors have become accustomed to this kind of life. The risk factor is high and the rewards are naturally high. As Zeng Geer said, a person who follows the rules and only wants to live a stable life cannot be a navy or even a sailor.

　　Most of these people are bold and bold, and they don’t even mind breaking into the famous pirate port "Shipwreck Bay" as long as they are given enough benefits.

　　In this atmosphere, Ivan also officially went to sea with the ship as a navy for the first time.

　　 Wow——

　　 Wow——

　　 patrolled back and forth on the deck, with the blossoming waves blooming around him, and Ivan’s mood now was different from that of leaving Leopold at the time.

　　 Today is the new starting point for my life.

　　During the two days when the Silver Wing was docked for resupply, Geer had introduced the general situation of the ship to Aiwen, so that he could quickly integrate into this new group.

　　 The old crew on this ship were all transferred from the original Tier 4 battleship following Geer.

　　 I don’t know what they have gone through. The vacancy has not been completely filled. Official officers have been promoted internally through Gehr’s appointment. The main navigator, commander, sailing leader, first officer, second officer, third officer , Sailor captain, gun captain, artillery captain, etc. are all ready.

　　 But for the time being, there is only one alternate officer like him.

　　After boarding the ship, under the arrangement of the captain Geer, his tentative post is the messenger. Responsible for conveying the instructions of some captains, and you can also go to any post on the ship to observe and learn. It can be said that it is the most conducive to the growth of an alternate officer.

　　 I have to say, this is the advantage of someone above!

　　 Otherwise, the Shangguan throws you into the cabin, and the conditions are bad. If you can't learn anything, it will be really sad.

　　The officers on the battleship were surprised that the captain treated this newcomer differently, but they were not out of line. After all, he was the only alternate officer on the ship, and he didn't think much about it only when he took care of the young people and was willing to train him.

　　 This is Aiwen's request, although it is not so hypocritical that Geer treats himself equally. However, temporarily concealing the relationship between the two will help Aiwen integrate into the group, and even if it is exposed after being thoroughly familiar with everyone, it will not be too far away. The relationship households seem to be beautiful, but the estrangement between them and ordinary people is everywhere.

　　The only person who knows the hidden secrets in the middle part is Chris the sailor. But he is Geer’s true iron confidant and the manager of the sailors on the ship. Sooner or later Geer will find the opportunity to tell him that at least he should take care of Aiwen in the possible battle after going to sea.

　　hu——

　　Silver Wing gradually sailed out of the military port, and the water surface became open and the wind gradually increased. Sailors needed to re-adjust the rigging to control the sails in order to stabilize the navigation and obtain the best speed.

　　 "Hey--hey--"

　　 There were neat trumpets on the deck, and about ten sailors were manipulating the sails under each mast.

　　 "Your Excellency Jabu, can I help control the sails?" Aiwen, who had been watching for a long time, walked to the sail line leader Jabu who was directing the sailors to adjust the sails and asked.

　　During the three months of recruit training, both the instructor’s teaching and the knowledge that Ivan learned by himself in the library have already filled a lot of it.

　　 Although I have tried several times on a small training ship, this is the first time on a real battleship. Ivan is not sure whether the sailing leader will allow him, a novice, to try his skills.

　　 The beard-faced cable leader glanced at Ivan, and after a little thought, he agreed. After all, he has just gone out to sea and there is no danger. Novices who want to improve are now a good time to practice.

　　 "Well, I agree, but young people, you don't have to go to lift the rigging with the sailors, just stand by my side and watch. I will explain to you how to operate and why." The length of the sail has a good attitude, and he agreed very simply, but at the same time he also put forward his own requirements.

　　 Aiwen also knows that the length of the sail is not because he is afraid of breaking his sails, but because the lifting equipment is actually doing hard work. Knowing when to control and where to control is the real technique of sail control. .

　　"Thank you, Lord Jabu!"

　　Standing next to Jiabu~IndoMTL.com~ Listening to his narration, Ivan will match the knowledge learned in the training camp with the actual situation a little bit.

　　The sail is the most technologically advanced device on sailboats, and the only source of power for most sailboats. It is no less important than the engines in the modern world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the heart of a sailboat, but this heart is a bit biased, it is growing outside.

　　 The cables on the battleship are white, while the static cables are black. The white cables are mainly adjusted when manipulating the sail cables. For a layman, seeing the densely packed rigging on a sailboat is sure to be dazzled.

　　 But in order to accurately control the sails to fight the wind and waves, it is absolutely inseparable from the help of large and small rigging systems.

　　 Let’s take a look at how many riggings are on a three-masted sailing ship.

　　To control the girder, halyards, slings, and swivel ropes are required; to control the sails: slings, front slings, and slings; reefing needs: three sets of slings, bottom slings, and side slings Rigging.

　　A three-masted sailing warship has eleven cross-sails in the first four, four in the rear and three in the rear. These riggings have to be repeated eleven times. Only this requires at least ninety-nine riggings and no spare rigging. And part of the double rigging that requires additional load-bearing.

　　 These riggings on the sailing boat seem to be complicated, but in fact they are not messy. No matter what the wind direction and weather, experienced sailors can find the corresponding rigging at the first time and adjust him to the best. Location.

　　 Even when the sails are balanced, on calm waters, without using the rudder, the sailors can make the warship sail straight by adjusting the sails.

　　 So the sailor who works on the three masts bears the most important responsibilities and is also one of the most important technicians on the sailboat.

　　 Aiwen still has a long way to go if he wants to become a skilled sailor.
