"I gave you two yuan before, and I used one. Four yuan were used to recharge the energy furnace..." Qian Hai thought for a moment, "There are still one hundred and ninety-two yuan left. I have used one in the past two days and it is not used yet. over."
"I remember the last time the energy furnace was charged was three days ago, right?" An Xiu continued to ask.
"Yes, it was three days ago. I haven't consumed much in the past few days."
"Then after entering the sea area in front, if you encounter a situation where you need to turn on the magic circle, what power should you turn on?"
"Brother, where are you planning to go!?" Qian Hai was asked a little impatiently, "How about I give you a signal in advance, with half power, eight success rates and full power before the time comes?"
An Xiu sighed slightly, "Then...okay."
In fact, An Xiu wasn't nagging on purpose, nor was he afraid of taking risks. He just didn't like the feeling of being unable to predict or control everything.
After eating, the two of them put away everything on the deck. An Xiu walked to the rudder and pressed a symbol on the rudder. The next second, the deck around the rudder opened, and wooden boards slowly rose from the inside to surround the rudder into a pilothouse of about four to five square meters.
"Holy crap!" Qian Hai looked at the cab made of special transparent material and wood in surprise, "How come I never knew there was such a thing?"
"When the patriarch was teaching how to operate the ship, you were running around on the ship. Of course you didn't know." An Xiu pointed to another symbol on the rudder, "There is also this one, which turns on the lighting and also consumes the energy furnace. The energy in it may be used after entering the sea area ahead."
"And the hull lighting device?! Then why haven't we used it at night for so long?"
An Xiu looked at Qian Hai as if he were a fool, "There are few clouds in the windless sea. The moonlight is so bright at night, why turn on the light?"
'This kid is really cautious. He has thought of all the ways to save energy. Qian Hai was a little speechless, "Okay, I guess you're right, let's go."
An Xiu activated the acceleration magic circle in the cab and drove the sailboat towards the dark clouds ahead. Listening to the increasingly dense sound of rain, Qian Hai felt inexplicably excited.
When the sailboat passed the dividing line between the two sea areas, the small sailboat rose and fell with the waves on the vast sea. Dense rainwater hit the cab, and the originally quiet cab was instantly filled with the sound of knocking.
Qian Hai opened a window, and the cold sea breeze carried the rain and hit Qian Hai's face. The excited Qian Hai laughed in the wind: "It feels so good!! This is the taste of the sea, this is the sea where men should ride!!" "
"Stop shouting, close the window quickly!" An Xiu tried to stabilize the boat in the wind and waves, and kept turning the rudder, but instead, the sailboat became more and more out of An Xiu's control.
"Brother, do you think this is on land? You can go wherever you want. We are on the sea now." Qian Hai looked at An Xiu with a serious look on his face, "Don't fight hard, okay? Adjust with the wind and current. direction."
An Xiu glanced at Qian Hai and said, "That's easy to say. How about you do it instead?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you wait a moment." Qian Hai first put his hand out of the cab to feel the wind direction, and then looked at the flow of the sea water. Although he didn't understand which direction the sea water was flowing, Qian Hai felt that it would be fine to follow the direction of the wind.
"Show me the azimuth ball," Qian Hai took the azimuth ball from An Xiu's hand, "Go to the right and forward, right? You stay out of the way, I'll do it."
Qian Hai took over from An Xiu to control the rudder, adjusting the direction of the sail and turning the rudder at the same time.
An Xiu leaned aside, looked at Qian Hai who was busy with his hands, and asked lightly: "How is it? Have you figured it out?"
"Wait a minute," Qian Hai concentrated on feeling the influence of the sail, rudder, and wind direction on the ship's course, and slowly raised the corner of his mouth, "This thing is quite difficult, but interesting~"
An Xiu stood back quietly and waited for a long time. It wasn't until he saw Qian Hai controlling the boat that it began to circle on the sea that he spoke again: "Forget it, I'll do it."
"Just wait a little longer! I'll get the feeling right away." Qian Hai stared ahead, "It's just a little rain now, and we can't even sail the boat. If we encounter big waves in the future, will we just capsize and wait for death? "
An Xiu was not in a hurry and stood behind Qian Hai waiting for him to study. Anyway, he had just entered this sea area. If it was not possible, he turned the bow and retreated to the windless sea.
Suddenly, Qian Hai laughed and said: "Haha, look! I figured it out!"
I saw Qian Hai controlling the sail control lever with one hand and the rudder with the other hand, actually steering the ship smoothly and in a straight line in the established direction.
An Xiu walked to Qian Hai in two steps, "How did you do it?"
Qian Hai turned to look at An Xiu and laughed, "Talent, understand? It's talent, haha."
"Tell me, how did you do it?" An Xiu really couldn't stand Qian Hai's narcissistic face, "Otherwise, you can sail the boat alone from now on!"
"Haha, as I just said, you have to master the direction of the wind and don't compete." Qian Hai continued to adjust the rudder and sail. "The main reason is that the cooperation between the sail and the rudder is not easy to master. It takes more practice to find the feeling."
"You stay away and I'll give it a try." An Xiu, who refused to admit defeat, wanted to succeed Qian Hai and do better than Qian Hai.
"No, you go out and have some tea first." But Qian Hai looked ahead with excitement, "I haven't had enough fun~"
In the next ten days, Qian Hai and An Xiu took turns practicing driving a sailboat in wind and waves. Because the difficulty of the operation has doubled, the two novices decided to shorten the duration of each sailing and increase the number of rotations to prevent accidents caused by lack of concentration.
I don't know if this sea area was deliberately training these two people, or for some other reason. From the moment they sailed into this sea area, the heavy rain never stopped.
The amount of rainfall and wind and waves have neither increased nor weakened at all, as if it has been raining continuously in this sea area forever.
"Sigh... I'm really convinced. Either there's not even a breath of wind and it's surprisingly quiet, or it rains non-stop. Can't the sea be more normal?" Qian Hai lay in the cab and complained: "These days I I feel wet all over.”
"The problem now is that according to the records in the voyage diary, there should be an uninhabited island to replenish supplies after leaving the windless sea." An Xiu controlled the rudder with worry in his tone, "But we have already left the windless sea. It has been more than ten days and the island has not been found at all.”
"You don't have to worry about supplies." Qian Hai looked at the heavy rain outside the ship. "I can use my power to extract fresh water. I also roughly calculated the food. It will definitely be enough for us to eat for another four or five months. Recently we have I haven’t even activated the magic circle on the ship, so the original energy stone is enough.”
"What I'm worried about now is not the supplies," An Xiu shook his head. "What I'm most worried about is that we have completely deviated from the route recorded in the voyage diary."
