Chapter 26: Burst

　　 In the next few days, except for the knights who could not be beaten by the thunder early in the morning, Ivan just soaked under the mast, learning and practicing a little bit to digest the knowledge and experience taught by the long cable Jiabu.
　　 Strictly speaking, sailboats cannot generate power on their own, and can only rely on external wind and ocean currents. Therefore, no matter the wind or wind direction changes, the sails need to be adjusted in time, otherwise it will become Buddhist drifting and even the risk of the ship capsizing.
　　 brings a huge workload to the crew, and at the same time, Aiwen has a lot more opportunities to practice hands. Moreover, this guy relied on his high physical fitness, and also robbed a lot of the work of the sailors. Others needed the rigging pulled by several people, and he pulled it all alone.
Being modest and studious, there is no such thing as an officer. Even the sailors at the bottom can talk to each other. Ivan quickly became a part of the crew on and off the sail line. At the same time, his own sail control skills have also improved. Fast.
At least with the help of a data-based vision, as long as you have learned something once, you don’t need to repeat it again. It is even better than the old crew in distinguishing changes in wind direction, wind speed, wave height, etc., and the long sailing cable Jiabu dares to dare on the calm sea. Let him command and manipulate for a while.
　　 Up to now, the data-based vision has really helped Aiwen too much. Whether it is the parameterization of external things, the identification of details, or the attributes of itself, they are extremely useful capabilities. Aiwen no longer dislikes it at the beginning...
　　 The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and it is another peaceful day.
The cruise of 　　 Silver Wing has been close to one third.
　　Because they have been sailing on the route of offshore merchant ships, merchant ships have seen a lot, but Ivan has always wanted to use the pirate ship to test his skills, but he has not seen a single one.
　　 Even if you want to come, there are many naval ports nearby, and it is the place with the most powerful navy. Like the last time Blood Anchor was encountered in a place with lush coastal shipping, it was really only a small probability event, and most pirates did not dare to come here to die.
　　 Stepping on the tail of the early morning, Ivan climbed to the observation platform and looked at the sea routinely after finishing the exercise. There was nothing unusual about the sparkling on the sea in the slight morning light.
　　 Just because there is no shelter on the sea, it gives people a feeling that the time of the sun rises much earlier than on land.
　　 "Where are the pirates?" The sea breeze was blowing, and Ivan muttered to himself expectantly.
　　 "Hey, kid, isn't peace in the world?" Geer, who also got up early to patrol the battleship behind him, patted Irving's shoulder.
　　 Aiwen, who was too focused and didn't notice that someone came, smiled, he didn't dare to say his idea of ​​trying to find a few pirates.
　　 Fighting pirates is not telling a story. As long as you fight, there will be casualties. The sea is never a peaceful place. Whether it is pirates, disease, bad weather, or indescribable objects hidden under the sea, they are all enemies that threaten the lives of seafarers.
　　 The normal four-tier battleship has a crew of 350 people. At that time, the crew who followed Gehr to the five-tier ship "Silver Wing" were less than two hundred. As for the rest of those people? It speaks for itself.
"Uncle Geer, there is a situation!" Just about to ask Geer about the strange news on the ocean, Ivan suddenly caught a glimpse of the abnormality on the sea from the corner of his eyes, and shouted with a nervous or excited mood. .
　　 "Calm!"
　　Geer gave a soft drink, and raised the brass-clad monocular in his hand to look in the direction of Aiwen's fingers.
　　Broken ship boards, sawdust, canvas, buckets, wooden boxes, etc. and various debris floating on the surface of the water with the current. The experienced Geer immediately judged that this was a trace of a merchant ship's death.
　　 "Three-level combat readiness!"
　　 "Clang, clang, clang..." Ivan immediately sounded the alarm bell at his command.
　　 Then the two slid down the mast and ran to Geer’s commanding position in the stern tower, where the rudder was located.
　　 Hearing the alarm bell, there were some quiet Silver Wings in the darkness before dawn, like a behemoth that was suddenly awakened. Countless crew members gushing out of the cabin like tide, rushing to their jobs.
Originally, Ivan thought that the crew under the command of Captain Joseph on the Yellow Husk was already very well-trained. He didn’t expect to see the actions of the Silver Wing sailors before realizing that he should redefine the well-trained standards. .
　　 There is no need for Gerdow's words, just standing in his commanding post like a pin on the sea, everyone below knows what he should do with whom. In an instant, this Silver Wing was like a clockwork gear mechanism, the gears bite and rotate on their own, turning into a real war machine.
　　 "Raise the sail, turn the rudder!"
　　 Under the control of the crew, the Silver Wing deftly made a circle and sailed in the direction where the debris was floating.
　　 Soon, the crew on the Silver Wing had seen the scene of the merchant ship’s death.
　　The damaged sailboat was torn apart, floating quietly on the sea~EbookFREE.me~Flags, broken planks, wooden boxes and cargo were floating everywhere, but even a corpse could not be found.
　　 "It seems to be a merchant ship from Palos."
　　 already experienced old crew members have recognized by the ship's style and broken flags, this is a merchant ship belonging to the Palos Kingdom in the Tulip Alliance. I just don't know what happened to them, the ship is not much different from the broken bones. This is an effect that pirates can never produce.
　　 "Your Captain, things seem to be wrong." Naval Captain Trius frowned.
　　 A bizarre guess has emerged in his mind, but he is a little uncertain, after all, it is a threat that ocean-going ships may encounter in the open sea.
　　 It should not be possible in offshore areas where shipping is booming but marine resources are scarce.
　　 "Secondary alert!" Hearing what the captain said, Geer himself had guessed and decisively issued the order.
　　 The order was passed to all departments of the ship. At this time, whether it was a combatant or not, the crew took out long and short muskets and filled them with ammunition to deal with enemies that might appear at any time.
　　 Just as everyone on the boat was preparing nervously. I don't know when it started, a layer of mist gradually rose on the sea, and the visibility continued to decrease.
　　 Actually, after such a long time, the sun should have risen now, but the sea in everyone's field of vision gradually became darker, and the Silver Wing had to lower its sails to slow down to avoid accidentally hitting something.
　　 "click, click, click..."
　　 At this moment, a strange mechanical sound suddenly came from Geer's arms.
　　 Ivan, who was standing behind Geer, looked at it suspiciously, and found that Uncle Geer's face changed, and he dignifiedly took out a silver pocket watch-like thing from his arms.
