Chapter 3: The Roaring Sea (3)

Of course Suo Zhongwu wouldn't be happy, as soon as his emotions came up, he quickly let the old quis catch him."Dolphins are there anytime, I see you vomiting sooner or later!" This time, Lao Kui behaved very impatiently, and trained a few more words with a bad attitude:

"We are at war! Su team deputy, if you have the spare time, go and study, learn one more word, and lose a drop of blood!"

That's right, it's too right.Suo Zhongwu immediately went down the donkey and seized this opportunity to apply for a "visit and study" below.Lao Kui was ordered by the army. He swayed his legs and feet uncomfortably at the time, his eyes narrowed so that he could interfere with the double slits, but in the end, this guy still didn't slap himself, and reluctantly nodded twice as consent.

The sky was high and the birds flew, Suo Zhongwu, who rushed down the bridge, felt like rushing out of the Bastille.He was dangling on the deck, originally intending to bow, but he looked strange everywhere along the way, his pace soon slowed down, and in the end he simply turned to wandering back and forth.He has been able to swim since he was a child and ride on ferries, but he didn’t know much about sailing warships and steam warships. He finally found opportunities, so of course he had to take a look.

So far, Suo Zhongwu's "celestial soldier" aura has not faded. The sailors are very polite to him, and they are never perfunctory in salute, and they do not hide their answers to questions.From the bridge to the mainmast, just 20 steps away, Suo Zhongwu actually did ten interviews. Not only did he get an ear of novel concepts, but he was also constrained to do some work.

Although the sailors handed him to the manual work of polishing burrs with pumice stones and oiling hard sail pulley blocks, Suo Zhongwu still enjoyed his curiosity.Those crew members were also very winking and praised, filling the deck with joyful air;

However, no one of the sailors actively invited the technical work such as retracting hard sails and rigging, and Suo Zhongwu was also very self-aware and did not dare to make trouble.As for the chimneys, boilers, and steam engines, the junior navy officers didn’t even want to reach out, let alone the passengers on the boat.During the voyage, the paddle wheels were always spinning, the machinery trembling, and the chimneys babbled, and black soot that had nothing to do with the common Qiubai came out.

Suo Zhongwu understood this. His original plan was to visit, but he didn't want to stay up late and spend his life at dusk to train himself as a 19th century sailor pacesetter.For him, the most important task is to survive the next week and protect Lao Kui's life during this time./Wait until the ability to traverse is restored, this guy won't even think about playing prestige for a second.Even with the knife, I will force him to go back and ask for help, and I will do what I say——/

"Is there anything you don't understand?/

A voice interrupted his thoughts.Very crisp female voice, although the Chinese accent is strange, but she can still understand it.Suo Zhongwu straightened up subconsciously and followed the prestige, and found that the first officer Hariata had walked over at some point and was standing shoulder to shoulder to his right."Don't understand?" He repeated the three words like a parrot, suddenly feeling extremely embarrassed, and quickly cleared his throat:

"Ahem! Uh, can you trouble-can you trouble the first mate to be more specific?"

"'Sir' is fine. You have been staring over there just now," the chief mate pointed to the other side and smiled friendly to Suo Zhongwu.That face has been blown by the sea breeze for a long time, showing a healthy red and black tone, the facial features are neatly arranged, the lips are plump and plump, and the charm of the black pearl-like eyes is comparable to that of a supermodel:

"Let me guess. Is the Su team deputy interested in this gun?"

"Cannon? Yes, yes, this is the cannon!" Suo Zhongwu nodded quickly to resolve the embarrassment:

"I always think, this one...what is this gun called?"

Only then did he realize that he had actually stepped to the starboard side platform unknowingly, with a very ugly large artillery in front of him.There are four doors on the ship, two by two distributed on the left and right sides, like a door god sandwiching the paddle wheel cover; each cannon is black, short and thick, and shaped like a wine bottle placed horizontally, but this one" The "Liquor Bottle" is more than two people in length, and even taller than the 186 Suo Zhongwu, including the rotatable pallet rack, and it takes up most of the field of vision at once.

If you look closely, the strong back half of the big iron cannon is actually an iron barrel tightly wrapped around the barrel of the artillery. The tail has both a lifting screw connected to the gun mount and a huge iron ring wearing a gun seat cable.Although its muzzle is blocked with a wooden cap, its diameter makes the scalp numb at a glance. It is absolutely no problem for a baby to enter./This is much more powerful than the army's cannon.Let me be named......Well, if you want me to be named....../

The understanding Hariata helped him avoid this trouble."What you saw is the fifty-jin Kalong cannon. The navy made it only the year before according to the enlightenment left by the Lord Fubo." She walked slowly to the cannon and stretched out her right hand lovingly. Tap on the tail ring:

"This door is the'Breath of Rualu' cast in our country of Kupé. In order to send it to the'Mingwei Xianxin', the whole family of warriors were dispatched that day to offer Haka to the transport fleet. War dance. I am honored to be able to come with it to this Phra, this floating castle that only accepts outstanding warriors, and to witness its first roar. Even now, I will still see that battle in my dreams. , Watching the flames gush out, crushing the evil spirits who climbed up the bulwark to pieces."

"That's for sure... It's very spectacular." Suo Zhongwu smiled reluctantly, his face seemed to be cramping.He looked at the bulwark on the left hand side and found that the wooden planks at the joints of the gun mounts were lighter in color than other places:

"The soldiers of the'Mingwei Xianxin' are really brave and good at fighting. Ashamed, I don't know anything about naval battles, and I don't know much about the prestige of Kupei Country. If the officer doesn't dislike it—what I mean Yes, I know it's rude, but I really want to learn something. If the chief doesn't dislike it, can you teach me some knowledge here during the shift break?"

After saying this, Suo Zhongwu felt like fifteen buckets fetching water, going up and down.The chief mate of the fleet's flagship is definitely not the school librarian. He is a bit presumptuous when he is a passenger making such a request.However, Hariata was not angry, but smiled happily, as if she had expected such a scene."It's a great honor, the Heavenly Soldier Festival." She looked at Suo Zhongwu enthusiastically, her eyes so focused that the "Heavenly Soldier Festival" involuntarily took a half step back:

"I'm happy to introduce you to the latest battle situation and the culture of the Eight Kingdoms of Yokohama. Look here, yes, it is the gun tail ring. The pattern around the circular hole. It is the shark tooth totem of Kupe country, marking the artillery strikes. Kill the number. Of course, we only count the big guys."
