The lookout said clearly, "I understand, first mate, I will always remain highly alert and report any situation immediately."

The first mate smiled again and patted the lookout on the shoulder, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes!"

During their pleasant conversation, the passenger ship continued to move towards the sea where the waves were rolling.

The first mate left shortly after, and the lookout continued to watch the sea.

Seeing that the first mate had left, Qili walked from the side of the deck to the front, ready to chat with the lookout.

Just now, she was listening to the chat between the first mate and the lookout, and she was almost dying of anxiety.

Under the blue sea and sky, the strong wind was raging. Qili's brown hair was blown to pieces by the wind, and her skirt was clinging to her body and trailing back.

The lookout had noticed the girl approaching.

He smiled and said, "Good afternoon, beautiful lady."

It was already sunset time. The fiery red sunset just emerged from the clouds and then disappeared into the clouds below. The sunlight shone through the gap between the two clouds, like an abyss of light.

"Hello!" Qili smiled and then asked, "Why don't you use a telescope?"

In this era, there should be telescopes. In Blue Star's era, there were telescopes hundreds of years ago. It makes no sense that the world has developed to this extent without even telescopes.

The lookout smiled and said, "There is a telescope, but I can't use it now. I can only observe with the naked eye."

"Can't use it?" Qili wondered, why can't it be used?

Using a telescope is much easier than sending a telegraph, so why can't it be used? Qili is very puzzled.

She frowned and looked at the lookout in confusion, waiting for his answer.

"Yes, it can't be used." The lookout explained, "It's not that I don't know how to use it, but our telescope is very valuable, so the second officer carefully locked it in the cabinet, but because of some things, the second officer This trip was canceled at short notice, and the key is still with him, so without the key, we can't open the cabinet, and we can't use the telescope."

The lookout sighed after finishing speaking, looking helpless.

"How could this be possible?" Qili could hardly control her temper. The sea breeze was a bit strong. She raised her voice and said, "Aren't you making fun of the lives of all the passengers on the ship? You are too careless. "

She was very angry after hearing what the lookout said.

This should be one of the reasons for the disaster. If you have a telescope, you can detect the danger much earlier, and the ship will not be unable to react in time and eventually sink to the bottom of the sea.

The lookout didn't pay much attention to Qili's reaction. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Madam, please believe me. Even without a telescope, I can detect all dangers in time and will not risk the life of any passenger." If you are threatened, you will reach the port of Tianhei Empire safely."

The lookout is very confident. Although he is not old, he has spent most of his time on the boat so far, so he is very confident about sailing.

He intuitively felt that this voyage would be as smooth as before, without any danger.

Seeing his confident look, Qili secretly took a breath and asked, "Are you so confident? If danger comes, but nothing can be changed, won't you regret it?"

Arrogance is also a factor in accidents.

Only by being careful can you sail the ship of ten thousand years.

The lookout said: "I have a lot of sailing experience. I intuitively feel that there will be no problem with the ship. We will reach our destination safely. Don't be too nervous, beautiful lady."

He felt that this lady was too nervous. Didn't she feel safe on such a giant ship?

Qili didn't talk to him anymore, she turned and left.

Go down the stairs to the deck below, then enter the corridor and pass under a scaffolding to the boiler room below.

As soon as I went there I saw the black boy Moses smoking.

"Hey! Madam, are you here again?" The black man greeted Qili enthusiastically.

The work in the boiler room is very boring. It would be great if there is someone to chat with.

But Qili didn't come to chat with him.

"Hey! Moses!" Qili greeted him with a smile, and then said, "I need a hammer. I forgot the key to my cabinet at home. I can't get my clothes out now. It's very cold today, right?"

Moses was very enthusiastic and agreed immediately, "Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment."

Qili looked at Moses. He walked to the other side and then opened a tin cabinet with various tools inside.

He took a medium-sized hammer and handed it to Qili, "How about this one?"

Qili took it, weighed it in her hand, and said, "It's very good. I'll return it to you after I finish it. Thank you! My friend!"

"You're welcome, please." The black man smiled politely, then raised his palms in a gesture of invitation.

Qili couldn't stay any longer and had to quickly open the lock of the cabinet and take out the telescope.

She intuitively felt that with the telescope and their current sailing speed of only 20 knots, the disaster could be avoided.

In this way, she can pass the level perfectly.

Qili left the boiler room through the scaffolding and quickly followed the elevator to the deck outside the cockpit above.

The lookout was still there, smoking and looking at the endless sea.

The wind had stopped at this moment, and they seemed to have sailed out of the windy sea. The sea was now very calm and calm.

But the air is getting colder.

Lookout Charlie saw Qili and greeted her warmly, "Hey! Beautiful lady, how can I help you?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the hammer held in Qili's hand.

Qili lifted the hammer higher and said with a smile, "Please tell me, which cabinet is the one where you store the telescopes?"

She was just ready to smash open the cabinet.

Just kidding, such a big ship sailing on the sea doesn't even have a telescope.

"Well, ma'am, while I don't recommend violent unlocking, I won't stop you if you're going to do it."

Charlie said, extinguished the remaining cigarette, and took Qili into the lounge at the back.

There was no one in the lounge now. It felt much quieter once entering, and the only footsteps could be heard.

Charlie pointed to the locked cabinet on the far right and said to Qili: "This is the cabinet. The telescope is inside. I saw the second officer put it in with my own eyes, and then he put the key in his in the pocket and ended up not boarding the ship.”

"Okay, please go away, I'm worried about hurting you."

Qili said, Charlie walked away a little.

Then she raised the hammer and struck it hard.
