Chapter 295: Whaling

Yan Changwu looked at the sails, everything was normal. He looked at how the sea water surging from the bow of the ship flowed backwards along the gang. From the draught difference between the bow and stern, he could find that the stern sail was putting more pressure on the forward bow. The extreme pressure on the sail surface may actually make the ship speed, that is, the stern sail eats too much wind and lifts the stern. At this time, the rudder effect will fail, the bow is easy to sink, and the swells in front of the ship will wash the open deck. The speed of the ship will slow down, and sometimes the wind will have to be used.

So he ordered the main mast top sail to be put away. Although the wind was very strong and it was as cool as a knife, the sailors were shirtless and doing steaming steaming. Yan Changwu cried, "Everyone worked hard, killed the whales, and got a bonus. , Improve food today!"

"Okay, Overseer!" everyone said in a spirited spirit.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, Tainan No. 1 (flagship) made it smoother. The wind pushed the sails and overcame the resistance of the waves. From the speed measuring rope, the speed reached eight knots per hour.

The wind started to blow north and formed a gust of wind. As the wind direction and the keel became right angles, Yan Changwu asked the sailors to hang up the support sails and the front and rear main sails. He looked up and saw that the front top sail was a little loose under the wind. , Told the sailors to tighten them...

The job of captain during the sailing period was not so easy to do. The ship saw the wind make the rudder, and how to let the ship gain the upper hand is a university question. Yan Changwu’s efforts and the careful teaching of many senior hong Maofans allowed him to The boat guide approached the whale.

Suddenly the lookout whistle shouted: "It's gone!"

Everyone's binoculars didn't see the whale on the sea, and they panicked.

Yamaki Dalang muttered something in Japanese, and the translator said that he thought it was a whale diving, and if it was not surprised, it would show up in a while.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the whale to reemerge, and the ship approached its side and rear carefully.

Without using a telescope, I saw that the head of the whale was extremely large. Compared with the body, its head appeared disproportionately heavy and large, while its tail appeared light and small, which made its body look like a big tadpole. .

"Sperm whale!" Yan Changwu remembered from the memory of the animal world.

This sperm whale is at least more than twelve meters in length. Seeing its body color, it should be an adult. It is not hurriedly spraying water forward.

They put down the two small boats, and the waves splashed when the boat entered the water directly onto the open deck, even if it was sunny, the surge was quite strong.

Yamaki Daro and Yamamoto Jiro each commanded a small boat with eight sailors each for paddling. Yan Changwu took the **** down to the boat of Yamaki Daro, while the other **** descended to the boat of Yamaki Jiro.

They were fully equipped, brought whaling forks, javelins, buoys, machete, and long cables and put them in the barrels. The sturdy barrels were nailed with bollards, and the cables were firmly tied to the posts.

Yan Changwu only wore a pair of leather pants (tied up), carried a knife and a dagger, and his upper body was naked, showing strong muscles in an inverted trapezoid shape, as strong as a calf.

However, Gan Hui heard the sailors whisper about things that seemed to have seen sharks.

The sailors paddled and approached the sperm whale gently.

The paddles were covered with cloth, and there was no sound, so as to avoid the whales from being stunned.

At this time, all the ships stopped their voices, and the senior officials watched the two small boats heading for the whale with a worried expression on their faces.

As far as they thought, Yan Changwu had better not do it himself. Anyway, the captain’s whale-killing "subject" test does not stipulate that the captain must kill the whales himself. It’s okay to send someone to do it, so you can take your own risk!

Although Yan Changwu's swimming skills are very good, they can be called a white stripe in the waves, but they are not at ease!

However, they couldn't stop Yan Changwu from dispatching himself. Everyone knew that it was not easy to be the boss. The first whale killer could express the courage to take the lead, which is very good for encouraging morale.

What they can do is to get four more small boats from another ship to follow behind.

Slowly it approached the whale. It didn't seem to notice that people approached it, or found it. It dismissed these "little guys", but I didn't expect the body shape to challenge it, but the little guy has real guys in his hands!

Approaching, less than three meters away, Yamaki Dalang sitting on the bow carefully looked at the whale. After its double fins once again pushed it forward, he immediately signaled to draw the oar closer, and he raised the tip. With the bright barb of the whaling fork, throw the fork hard!

The whaling fork plunged heavily into the back of the whale and inserted it behind its left fin. The whale let out a painful sigh, and the sea water showered everyone on the boat like rain.

The whale leaped forward, and the cable attached to the whaling fork immediately ran up quickly, and it was quickly exhausted!

It dived into the water, waves of blood spread in the sea.

Tie the cable to the water depth and two sailors to hold it tightly. The whale's powerful force acts on the boat through the cable and the human body, and it drags the boat and starts to accelerate!

At first, there was a big cloud of blood in the sea, and then the whale came out of its head.

Under the command of the Japanese, the small boat approached it, and then Yan Changwu used a javelin and stabbed the whale. At the same time, Yamaki Dalang also gave it a javelin.

It dived again, and when it surfaced again, the two javelins stuck in it had disappeared, so Yan Changwu and Shanmu Dalang each gave it a shot, and it dived into the water again.

After four times, after tossing for an hour, the whole area of ​​the sea has changed color, with a strong **** atmosphere!

It was killed by eight javelins and it was not dead. Miyama Mu Dalang also boasted that he was an expert in whaling, he was seriously suspicious!

In fact, Dalang Yamaki could not be blamed, because he had never killed sperm whales before. He killed most of the southern mallet whales. The killing method was different and he could not kill sperm whales quickly.

Yan Changwu felt impatient, and when it appeared again, he thrust a javelin with great force! It hurts to flick its tail!

Suddenly, as if the pain made it crazy, it ran into the boat that caused it pain!

In general, injured whales seldom attack small boats, but it is not without ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The force of its collision is extraordinary. The small boat flips instantly and everyone falls into the water!

In the exclamation of the crowd, Yan Changwu's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed the rope that had been let go, and could not help being taken out by the rope.

Then, alas, a pain in the ass!

Under the surprised eyes, they saw Yan Changwu sitting on the rope bucket, leaning heavily, holding the rope, and running away like a paddling water!

Everyone is stunned, is this okay?

Shi wakes up, no, it took the warlord away!

At this time everyone woke up, busy saving people, rowing hard, and Mr. David on Tainan No. 1 immediately commanded the warship to follow.

But the whale was full of energy and ran so fast that it took Yan Dashao away in a short while!

Everyone knows that Yan Changwu doesn't want to let go of the first prey in his life. After all, it is of great significance, but they are all complaining in their hearts, Boss, anyway, if you drop the rope, let's kill another one, OK!
