Chapter 955: The veteran's words

"What's the use of this platform? Why are the masts turned into two here, and what is this big hammer for?" Jian Wenyue asked.

"Well, this platform, oh, in addition to reeling and other tasks on it, soldiers with light weapons can also fight the enemy, and they can shoot from here on the enemy deck!" Old Pan said.

"Ah, that's not bad!" Jian Wenyue said excitedly: "Couldn't you still throw grenades or fire bombs at them?"

"It's good, but don't be like this." Old Pan said.

"Why not?" Yan Kun asked puzzledly.

"In this case, those bullets with long thick smoke will make the soldiers above become the most obvious targets. The enemy will focus on him, so that he will..." Old Pan simulated the falling of a bird with his hand. Posture, he spoke briskly, but Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue did not feel a little relaxed!

This will be a terrible battle position, and the soldiers who go there will often have no return!

However, there is always someone who wants to get to this battle position!

Think about the degree of shadow in the mind of the soldier who accepted the order to "go up to that platform."

Before reaching the battlefield, Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue began to understand the terrible war.

In Yan Kun's heart, he began to realize why his father wanted to practice Songun politics, and the knighthood was only for soldiers? Unusually generous to soldiers?

Soldiers are really engaged in professions with their heads in their heads!

"Also, the mast top support cable fixing plate on this side can fix the three-eye wooden cake for the middle mast side support cable. The platform is relatively wide, and a reel can be placed, and the handle can be used to crimp and pull up the cable more. The above is the same. There are mast-top crossbars to separate the upper-mast side stays. Have you seen those upper-mast side stays?" Old Pan indicated the position and said: “Look up, in the middle mast sails. Next to it, the place where the observation platform protrudes on the mast!"

Yan Kun looked at the clumps of cables and said in surprise, "It's very complicated!"

"Of course it's complicated, it's necessary." Old Pan said in a technical term: "This is redundancy. Avoid giving the enemy a chain bomb!"

The soft rope fence on the upper platform is equipped with iron brackets, and the place is small. The three people stand together and even have no chance to turn around. So Yan Kun sat between two iron pillars, one arm holding one, as taught by Old Pan. With his legs hanging in the air, he was a little scared at first. When he held the iron pillar firmly and sat on the solid wooden board with his butt, he felt safer and more comfortable.

"God, if my mother sees me like this, she will shoot me to death!" Yan Kun thought.

His mother, Yang Ying'er, was very etiquette, and when she saw her son sitting with her legs spread like this, she absolutely scolded her with P-share meat!

Speaking of which, Yan Kun is very afraid of his mother, but not very much of his father.

"Well, you have put on training uniforms, not bad!" Old Pan motioned to everyone to look at him. There was a sling on his shoulders connected to a very strong belt around his waist. The belt had a hook. He took out a rope and hung it on the belt. The iron bracket was hung on the other end and said: "This is a safety rope. In a crisis, it can save your lives."

The two newbies didn't bring safety ropes, but Old Pan had prepared them a long time ago and gave them one for each of them, and asked them to hang it up.

Old Pan warned: "As soon as the person in this position comes up, he will hang the safety rope, always remember that the storm is unpredictable, the gun has no eyes, and take sufficient safety measures!"

Yan Kun nodded repeatedly and said: "Understand, understand, I'll go back and talk to my mother about this!"

He sat comfortably, observing the surroundings. Now the sun is very high. While emitting a dazzling light, he also sprinkled pointed shadows on the white cover. These shadows have geometrical lines, straight lines and curves, and they only pass through shapeless shapes. The main sail of the bow tower was destroyed.

Looking far away, I saw the shadows of sails on the blue sea. There are so many Chinese ships. There are also many merchant ships of Indians, Arabs, and Persians. A sea cruiser is inspecting a sloop.

"That is the foremast, Xiao Yang. We call its roots the lower mast, or simply the foremast, and it is fixed to the inner keel, so be careful. If the foremast is hit by a chain bullet, it will damage the keel. If the keel is injured, our boat will be irregular. I heard from the chief that you have to remember this in the navigation department. "Old Panyan taught by example, and the two younger generations listened with gusto.

Many of the knowledge mentioned have been learned in textbooks, and similar knowledge has been experienced on training ships, but the experience of serving on warships is particularly profound.

"The foremast is pulled by the side cables on both sides of it, three groups on each side, two in each group. It is pulled forward by the fore cables that extend to the bowsprit, and the other one is parallel to the fore cables. The rope is an auxiliary cable to prevent the mast from breaking. Look up at one-third of the foremast and find the hoop of the main mast cable. The main mast cable passes through here to fix the main mast below us!"

"It's a big, thick cable!" the two young men exclaimed.

Indeed, this mainmast stay is sturdy and sturdy, and its caliber is more than a quarter of a meter (25 centimeters or more, almost 30 centimeters)!

"Only the strongest sailors can do them!" Old Pan You said silently, and then talked about a dangerous topic: "Dangers are everywhere on the ship. If you are hit by this cable, you can give your head. Go wrong, so what are you going to do?"

"Wear helmets! Wear protective gear!" the two young men said in unison.

"GOOD!" Unexpectedly, Old Pan said red hair.

"Old Pan, do you also speak Hongmao's words?" Yan Kun asked.

"Of course, I will say that I passed the exam and I have a subsidy!" Old Pan said proudly.

So Yan Kun spoke to Old Pan in English, and was surprised to find that Old Pan had a good answer.

"The former deputy navigator was naturalized by the British, a young man, a few years older than you, he opened an English corner on a warship!" Old Pan explained.

No wonder!

The Southeastern country is powerful and the salaries of the soldiers are high, attracting many ethnic groups to join in order to obtain the household registration book!

"Come on, let's continue talking."

Seeing the two queens holding a notebook, drawing there with a pencil, and recording, Old Pan Yingzhi was quite tall, and came one by one: "See the fore mast platform, it is the same lifter as ours, it is just above the fore mast. One-fifth of the place is built on the mast top stringer and the top mast crossbar, so that the remaining length of the lower mast overlaps with the middle mast, just like the two here. .

The middle mast is optimistic about the remaining part of the upper section, that is, the thinner section, which goes all the way up. We first hoist it and then attach it to the lower mast, just like a soldier attaches a bayonet to a musket. It passed the mast top stringer and reached a certain height ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The root hole was aligned. We plugged the mast into it and smashed it firmly with a sledgehammer. This is the big mad you just asked about, we While smashing, shouting, "Come on, hello, hello"..."

He waved his arms, simulating the action of swinging a hammer, and made him laugh involuntarily.

But Pan’s next sentence made them laugh abruptly: "If we catch a pirate, we will hang the pirate leader from here. He deserves this position, and ordinary pirates are unnecessary. Or who committed the crime. It is also appropriate to hang them up if they are convicted of national crimes. Of course, they also include the enemy's big men. If the crime is extremely sinful, he will be sent up.

Boys, you have to remember it, not for you, but for you to know its purpose. Don't hesitate to use them when you need them. After all, you will be officers in the future! "

That's it!
