Chapter 211: Devil's Wave

Facts have proved that the structure of the trimaran is quite reliable, and it has withstood the bumps.

Then the "pit" bounced back, and the sea oscillated again and again, finally returning to "calm".

Of course, the word "calm" is only relative to the "hill of sea water".

At this time, there were still strong winds and waves on the sea, but after the test just now, everyone on the deck felt from the bottom of their hearts that such wind and waves are too cute.

After realizing that the "extraordinary movement" had completely passed, the sailors on the deck couldn't help but let out a loud cheer, and then the same warm congratulations were heard from all corners of the Ocean Tide.

Despite being in a safer cabin, the rest of the ship did not feel better.

Listening to the sailors frantically venting the joy of the rest of his life, Renault couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

He did not interfere, nor did Captain Elon interfere, just let everyone vent their emotions.

Renault flew around the Haichao, carefully inspecting the outer corners of the hull.

The results of the examination were mixed.

The good news is that despite the horror of the "Hill of the Sea", the main body of the hull is not damaged, and the hull film is almost invisible, which also shows that the internal structure is very stable.

It seems that the strength of the metal keel is sufficient to withstand such a sudden situation.

The worry is that the "wings" connecting the boats on both sides have undergone significant deformation, especially on the left side. Even the amazingly strong star blue ferroalloy has been bent by nearly 10 mm. The right side is slightly better, but the same appears. Many deformations.

This shows that the strength of the two wings is insufficient, and the main structure of the wing needs to be redesigned, which also means that more star blue iron alloys need to be used.

The current structure can withstand the turbulence, but it is not enough to withstand this sudden upwelling on the seabed.

Because the two auxiliary ships on both sides also used metal keels, they were also safe and sound, but they had been soaked in the sea for a long time, and there was some accumulation of water inside.

But it doesn't matter.

As early as the design stage, the Department of Navigation considered this situation. Magic pumps are installed inside the boats, and there are also special drainage channels. After a while, just send someone to start the internal magic pumps.

As for how to adjust the design of the trimaran and how to transform the hull, Renault does not plan to take care of it anymore. Let Elon have a headache.

After the sailors celebrated, Elon also issued instructions at the right time, and the Haichao suddenly became busy, and there were running sailors everywhere.

Cleaning the deck, draining water, organizing the cabin, and treating the wounded all require manpower. Even the island guards are also under the command of Moose, sharing part of the work.

In order to deal with the turbulence, the main objects inside the cabin were fixed, especially those heavier objects, so as to prevent them from moving suddenly and hurting people.

But many small things are difficult to fix. In the violent turbulence just now, they were thrown all over the floor, and most of the cabins were in a mess and needed to be rearranged.

It’s kind of funny that a few hapless guys survived the violent oscillations, but were injured by these flying little things.

In addition, there were more than a dozen sailors who didn't hold their hands firmly and accidentally fell. However, all the wounded were not serious. Most of them were bruises, but this also kept the doctors on board busy.

"The Devil's Wave?" Renault asked curiously.

"Yes, Lord Lord, the oceanic upwelling we just encountered should be the rumored wave of the devil."

Seeing Renault's interest, Elon immediately began to explain in detail. He has been wandering on the sea for many years, and the secrets that ordinary people can't know are common sense to him.

"It is said that the Devil's Wave only appears during the heyday of the storm season, that is, the first snow month and the cold winter month, and this phenomenon occurs only in the depths of the ocean. Generally speaking, it is a very rare ocean... Natural disasters."

"The devil's wave has a very wide range, at least 10 square kilometers or more, and even a super giant devil's wave of more than 100 square kilometers has appeared. The devil's wave that Hai Chao has just encountered is not too big..."

Having said that, a trace of fear appeared on his face.

As for why this phenomenon is called the "devil's wave", Elon did not explain, nor does it need to explain.

In another world, the name "devil" often indicates death, and the meaning of the wave of the devil obviously means that it will only bring death.

"In the past 100 years, there have been no more than three'Devil's Waves' incidents recorded, all of which are the outcome of ship destruction and death."

"I remember the latest Devil’s Wave incident happened more than 30 years ago. At that time, two 1,500-ton main battleships belonging to the Navy of the Silver Lion Kingdom ventured out during the storm season in the southern Xinghai Continent, but unfortunately they encountered the Devil’s wave."

"According to rumors, the two battleships capsized on the spot. Under the huge impact, they even broke their main masts. Except for a superhero who was with the ship successfully escaped, no one was spared..."

Listening to the tragedy told by Elon, Renault couldn't help but feel grief.

In the storm season, the storms and turbulence alone are enough to be scary. Unexpectedly, there are even more terrifying things like Devil's Wave.

This is just a phenomenon observed by humans. How many phenomena have not been observed?

Conquering the stormy season is not as easy as Renault imagined. The "prestige" of the stormy season is not just in words, but written with countless lives.

However, even if the road ahead is sinister, and there is even a major loss of "the sinking of the entire fleet", Renault's determination will not be shaken by half.

The ocean must be in your own hands!

After hearing enough of the story, Renault finally started talking about business.

"Elon, where are you going to avoid the coming storm?"

Elon bent over slightly and said, "Your Excellency, please allow me to look at the chart..."

Renault gestured to Elon to help himself.

He knew well that Elon didn't know where to hide. In fact, this old guy knew so much about the ocean that no one else could.

When the White-tailed Sparrow was voyaged, Elon served as the captain and navigator, and led everyone to Odin Island safely from memory.

Therefore, the purpose of Elon's chart is obviously to facilitate Renault's understanding. When describing geographic information, no matter how accurate the language is, it can't compare with the intuitiveness of the map.

It's just that he is so sophisticated and smooth that he will deliberately say "Allow me to look at the chart". The implication seems to be that he is also not familiar with the surrounding situation. He deliberately belittles himself to take care of Lord Lord's face.

Lord Lord knows that you are an expert, but is it really necessary to put an attitude of "I am an expert, I am definitely right" in front of a superior person?

Do not!

There is no benefit at all. If you encounter a high-minded person, you might even invite disaster for yourself.

This kind of extremely subtle speaking skills cannot be easily mastered by a hairy boy.

After the slightly old chart was spread on the table, Elon pointed to an island’s mark and said: "Your lord, I think the Boot Island should be the most ideal place to hide. According to a rough estimate, we are less than 50% away from it. Nautical miles."

"There is a ridge in the center of Boot Island, and a bay on the south side. If anchored in the bay, the ridge can be used to block the strong wind and huge waves going down south."

We are in the northeast of it. Now the north wind is relatively strong. The sails can borrow more wind and sail at a speed of 2 gears. It only takes 3 hours at most, and the Haichao can reach the Boot Island..."

Renault couldn't help but nodded. Elon really was old enough. 2 gear sailing was the most economical speed and the most fuel-efficient.

"Just do what you said, yes, why is this island called the Boot Island? Is it because it looks like a boot?" Renault asked curiously.

"Your Excellency, this name is related to the tradition of the pirates of Odin Island. In the past, every time I passed by the Boot Island, some recently unfortunate pirates would throw their broken boots on the island to pray to get rid of bad luck..." Long laughed.

After a pause, he added: "Uh, if you are willing to change the name of Boots Island, this is definitely the glory of Boots Island."

Renault was speechless, and Elon's flattery was too shameless.

MMP, didn't this master just name a few islands? Why do all of them regard labor and capital as naming madmen?

When the two stayed in the captain's room to discuss, the outside deck had become quite lively.

Because the sudden wave of the devil just now caused a huge shock and also brought some special "gifts".
