Chapter 10 There is a situation
"Fuck you! What the hell......" Finally, Hong Tao came to his senses, he drilled the tip of the horns, looking at the drawings on the table and the ground, he hated it! Hating myself for being a stupid X and drawing a piece of waste is simply self-harm.
"Carl! What about Po Jiao? "But if there is a mistake, he can't carry it himself, he must find a reason to appease himself, what reason? Po Jiao! If he hadn't come in and asked himself questions, there would have been no satellites, and there would have been nothing afterward, let alone let himself have to endure for days in vain, and nothing would have come out. No, the culprit must be severely punished!
"He sleeps in the cabin......" Carl looked at Hong Tao, whose face was red with vicissitudes of life, and instinctively sensed that a storm was coming.
"Go and grab him for me, wipe the deck and the mast and let him choose, right now!" Hong Papi was annoyed and angry, and the consequences were serious, especially on the boat.
"So how do I talk to him? He has been very disciplined in the past two days, and he has not made a mistake...... "Carl also wants to fight for Bo Jiao a chance to be lenient.
āā¦ā¦ Was the Predator's mainsail torn by a storm last year due to his command error? Hong Tao rolled his eyes, and quickly found a very powerful reason, this crime is already very big on the ship.
"Bang Bang...... Boom ...... ......"Carl had already succumbed, and last year's mistakes could now be used to punish people, and he didn't even have the courage to distinguish for Bojiao, if he counted so, he would have a bunch of sins on his own body." This adult is obviously starting to get mentally ill again, so it's better to talk less and do more. However, Bo Jiao's luck was very good, before Carl could enter the cabin with people, a bell rang from the top of the mast again, this time the sound was obviously different from the discovery of the mainland, it was the discovery of the ship, alarm! According to Hong Tao's regulations, the discovery of a ship on the sea is an alarm, and before confirming the accurate identity of the other party, it directly enters the combat state.
"! This is the heart that makes me unhappy! Don't bother with that coward, Carl, tell me, where are we? Where's my telescope! Where's my battle cap! "Hong Tao is holding back a belly of evil fire and has no place to sprinkle it, originally he said that he would torture Bo Jiao for a while, but he didn't expect a ship to appear at this time, yes, it's you!
"28 degrees north latitude, 128 degrees east longitude, just past the island of the Ryukyus." Carl accurately reported the latitude and longitude, he didn't know what the Ryukyu Islands were, and he didn't know why he used the number 1234 to mark the islands, anyway, he learned how to write on the chart, why this kind of thing, can only be asked when Hong Tao is in a good mood, otherwise the end will be the same as Bojiao.
"One island of the Ryukyus? Be on the alert! Hong Tao suddenly confused the name of the island he gave, the Ryukyu Islands are the Okinawa Islands in later generations, a big island, he himself can't remember what the name of each island is, so he used the number one, two, three, four, the specific number one is which, you have to look at the chart to know.
Ryukyu Island, in fact, is the later Amami Island, it is the largest area in the Ryukyu Islands, Hong Tao set it as the No. 1 island, in fact, it doesn't matter what the name is, even if it is called a shit egg, as long as it can be recognized by most people, then it is called a shit egg.
"Ring the battle bell, hang the battle flag, and raise the sails! Full! Not a minute had passed, Hong Tao, who had returned to the captain's room to read the charts, rushed out again, shouting at the top of his throat, with a hideous evil smile on his face, even the midshipmen who followed him on his voyage for the first time could see that the ship coming from the opposite side must be unlucky. I didn't even see what kind of ship Nima was, and how many ships there were, so I raised the battle flag, which is really going to start.
"All armor-piercing...... Ammunition preparation ...... Left rudder ten! Starboard to meet the enemy! Karl had already run to the stern, and was looking forward with a telescope, when he heard Hong Tao's battle order, he immediately carried out his first mate's work, and began to direct everyone on the battleship to take their positions.
With the rapid sound of the brass bell, all the sailors and officers who were not on duty in the cabin ran out, and there was a lot of chickens and dogs on the deck, and everyone put on a kind of leather armor made of crocodile skin, and interestingly, the leather armor also carried several short wooden sticks on its chest and back. This thing was also made by Hong Tao, not so much an armor as a life jacket. Those short sticks are a kind of vine on Luzon Island, and when dried, they are very buoyant, and after carrying them on their backs, people will not sink even if they do not swim in the sea. As for the ability to protect, there is basically none, Hong Tao's theory is to ask for a fart armor at sea, and he doesn't plan to jump into a white-knuckle fight, instead of defending against arrows that can never fly over, it is better to ponder what to do if he falls into the sea. To this end, he also prefabricated safety buckles and safety ropes on this leather armor, and stipulated that when entering the combat state, everyone on the deck, mast, and lookout must fix the safety rope to the iron ring around him, and he was not allowed to untie it unless there was a special need. How to quickly tie a special rope buckle is also a basic knowledge that every sailor must learn, and if you can't play this, you are not allowed to board the ship.
"When the battle was over, all the sailors of the first class went to the side of the ship to get a bucket of water. A quarter of an hour has passed, and what about those who have not put on their armor, have not fastened their buckles, and have not prepared their ammunition? What do you usually train! Hong Tao was holding a small hourglass in his hand, which had been draining for exactly a quarter of an hour, and when the last grain of sand fell, Hong Tao was very dissatisfied. The deck is still in a mess, the cables are not coiled, the buckets for firefighting are still unfilled with water, the pumps have not been brought up from the cabin, and the two lookouts on the lookout have tied the safety ropes, but you continue to look out, watching the hair below!
"I'll let you forget! Let you forget! You wait, don't think about letting Lao Tzu be punished! "As soon as they heard the requirements for a bucket of water, the eyes of the first-class sailors on the deck were red, that is, they did not have whips in their hands, if there was a guarantee to draw them to the second-class and third-class sailors under their command. A bucket of water! Who knows what it tastes like......
A bucket of water is a criminal law invented by Hong Tao, and Hong Tao has a deep understanding of the profession of sailors, and must not be soft on them, just like when he tortured the Paris sisters on a sailboat. A large group of old men, all day long on the same boat, if you don't know what to be afraid of, then you can't manage it. Persuasive education works for them, but it is not the main thing, and the most effective is the criminal law.
What is a bucket of water? It is to tie the person to the side of the boat, cover the face with a damp cloth, and then slowly pour a bucket of water on it, so that the person wants to breathe and breathe unhappily, and he will be choked by the water when he takes a big breath, but he can't suffocate to death, which is said to be very uncomfortable. This method was seen by Hong Tao from the movie, and as a result, he tried it, hey, it worked, and anyone who had received it once would never dare to try it a second time, so this rule was set. Whipping can't do that kind of thing, it's hard to treat the skin that is inflamed, or torture people with this method of not seeing blood or injury, which is more in line with Hong Tao's compassionate character.
Actually, a quarter of an hour more is too late, the distance between each other on the sea is very long, and there is a formula that can be calculated by yourself: Dā4.12(āh+ān). D is the visible distance, h is your height from sea level, and n is the height of the target from the sea surface. This is a theoretical formula for removing vision and weather factors, and if you want to say that you are short-sighted, and there is fog, then it is another matter. If you drink too much, you might fall into the sea and drown, and look at it!
Because the earth is round, the range of observation of the target in a straight line on the sea is limited, even if you stand on a mast lookout more than ten meters high, and equipped with a telescope, the weather is still very good, theoretically you can only see a small boat more than 30 kilometers away, in fact, it is only about 20 kilometers. Observing with a telescope on top of a rickety mast is a very uncomfortable job, and you will get dizzy after looking at it for a while.
Is it 20 km away? It's not far for a modern warship, and it can go to war directly, but for a 13th-century sailing ship, it's a bit far, and it takes almost an hour for two ships to face each other, and it has to be a clipper like the Hypo. When the sailors were all ready to stop, the ship on the opposite side was not yet visible on the deck, and the sailors in the first armor were blind, and could only listen to the commanding commander on the stern. In fact, the commander on the stern was also blind, and he had to listen to the mast lookout.
"Two dhows, probably ...... About 15 meters, heading 280! The speed is unknown! The lookout looked through the binoculars and told the deputy next to him, who shouted to the deck by the neck. This job is very demanding, not only do you have to be familiar with the angles and coordinates, but you also have to have a good pair of eyes and a good mouth, which you must not only see but also shout clearly, so that the captain can understand.
"Left rudder 5......" Hong Tao held a plate-sized thing in his hand, looked down for a while, and then gave another order. This thing is also another of his great contributions to this era, the simple compass! It is improved according to the compass. I have to say that the craftsmanship of Guangzhou goldsmiths is stronger than that of Zhenzhou, and the silver box is extremely exquisite. With this thing, you can roughly know the direction of your own ship and the direction of the opponent's ship on the sea surface at any time.
