The sailors with the bottom of a building and a ship are relatively good at handling such situations.
It¡¯s just that the weather conditions are quite bad now. Hailstones as big as eggs are raining down like violent storms on the iron ropes of the building. In addition, the sudden strong wind has become more violent. The hulls of the tall ships were locked together. Under the dense hail, the force-bearing surface was larger, and the attack by the hail was particularly strong.
Therefore, the whole chain of buildings and boats, amidst the hail, strong winds and waves rising from the East China Sea, appeared like a small leaf, thrown up and down, constantly rising and falling with the waves.
The large ship that was smashed through the bottom of the ship could not escape the situation of being thrown up and down. The sailors had to stand in waist-deep water at the bottom of the ship, and they were so crooked that they could not stand steadily.
Gao Yingjie held onto the wooden ladder and tried his best to stabilize his body. His eyes fell on the fountain that kept rising upwards at the bottom of the boat. The water column gushing from the spring was not as thick as Gao Yingjie imagined. Gao Yingjie's eyes were motionless as he looked at the water column gushing out of the spring, his mind spinning rapidly.
Based on Gao Yingjie¡¯s many years of experience at sea, he could roughly judge the size of the hole in the bottom of the boat caused by the hail that he had not seen from the thickness and height of the water column breaking out of the water. What puzzled Gao Yingjie was that the hole in the bottom of the boat shouldn't be that big. Could it be said that the hail really became smaller after it penetrated the three-story storage room?
It¡¯s hard to say. The deck and bottom of the building ship are made of the best parts of the iron tree. It was able to break through the deck of a building ship, and it also broke through three storeys in a row. The density of the hailstones was considerable, and its toughness, according to Gao Yingjie's guess, would not really make it smaller when it reached the bottom of the ship.
So what is it that makes such a tough hailstone smaller?
This seemed like an unsolvable answer. Gao Yingjie frowned, hoping to find some clues.
The hailstones fell suddenly without any warning. Other hailstones are only as big as eggs, but this hailstone is as big as several people hugging each other. What¡¯s even more weird is that with Gao Yingjie¡¯s focus on the sky at that time, it was impossible for Gao Yingjie not to notice such a big hailstone. of hail.
How did this hailstone escape his eyes and fall directly on the chain-linked building ship?
Many mysteries were swirling in Gao Yingjie's mind, but he could not find any clues to answer these confusing questions. Even now, he has not seen the original appearance of the hailstone, but can only guess the size and appearance of the hailstone from the descriptions of the sailors.
Since there is the first such hailstone, there must be the second and third such hailstone. If every hailstone in this hailstorm is like this weird hailstone, then it will definitely be a disaster. .
His own personal life and death did not matter, but on top of this chain-linked building ship was the Supreme Ruler of the Green Empire, Emperor Taiping. If Emperor Taiping had any shortcomings, the reputation and integrity accumulated by his Gao family over the years would be destroyed in one fell swoop.
The Gao family, like the Lou family, is also an aristocratic family that has grown up with the empire since the time of Emperor Green. Such an aristocratic family has made countless contributions in the establishment of the empire, so it has a very depressing sense of dependence on the Green Empire. And this feeling has not changed with the passage of time, but has been passed down from generation to generation and has become the highest creed of a family.
Just like the Lou family, although the whole family was slaughtered, Mr. Lou did not have any resentment towards the empire at all. It is precisely because of this somewhat pedantic die-hard loyalty that Lou Wuxin can now stand on the chain-linked building ship. Above, protecting the safety of Emperor Taiping.
But the problem now is that Gao Yingjie clearly felt an indescribable sense of oppression in the water column coming out of the spring. The water column gushing out of the spring was not as strong as expected, but it clearly conveyed a message to Gao Yingjie that Gao Yingjie could not prevent the capsizing of this building ship.
This feeling made Gao Yingjie's heart sink.
He is not the kind of person who acts on impulse. He knows that since he has such a strange feeling, there cannot be no reason at all. Hail itself will not convey such information, so who is going to convey this information to him? Does this information contain other more information?
Gao Yingjie held his hand on the escalator going up from the bottom of the ship, and was lost in thought for a moment. He didn't even feel the rocking of the building, while those on the bottom of the building tried hard to repair the hole made by the hail. On the way, the shouts of the sailors became even more distant in Gao Yingjie's ears.
This feeling is like a person who is about to fall into coma. At the moment when he still retains consciousness, the world outside him is reflected in his consciousness, all with a weakened effect: he cannot see clearly. I can't hear what the person is saying clearly, I only know that something is happening, but I can't do anything about it.
There was a confusion in Gao Yingjie's eyes that no one had ever seen before. This confusion made Gao Yingjie hold on to the handrail of the escalator and remain motionless. Until the sailors coming down from above woke Gao Yingjie out of this confusion.
"Iwhat's wrong with me?" Gao Yingjie shook his head and saw the sailors who were looking at him with surprised eyes. In the hearts of these sailors, Gao Yingjie is the man who has defeated the sea countless times. Gao Yingjie's perseverance, tenacity and resilience that he would not give up until the end all strengthened Gao Yingjie's image in the minds of the sailors.
Gao Yingjie has become the son of the sea in the hearts of these sailors. This image was established by Gao Yingjie in the hearts of the sailors through countless battles with the sea. And the establishment of this image will be extremely solid. No one will believe that this son of the sea in the minds of sailors would show such a confused look. This is completely different from the usual Gao Yingjie.
No need for any explanation from the sailors, Gao Yingjie had already understood from the sailors¡¯ eyes how bad his performance was just now. This is extremely lethal to an army or even a kingdom.
The power of the spirit can give rise to unlimited fighting power. As long as the spirit does not die, the death of the body is never the final way of death. But Gao Yingjie's performance today made these sailors feel a kind of fear from deep in their hearts. Mental collapse is the most fatal.
Gao Yingjie immediately realized what he should do to save it. He is the core of this fleet going to sea. As long as there is a trace of confusion in this core, this confusion will expand into a huge loophole in the entire team. And such a loophole, in such a harsh environment, may lead to consequences , was the demise of the entire fleet.
"Mate, immediately ask someone to fill the undamaged sandbags in the storage room with soil." Gao Yingjie shouted.
"But, there is no dirt on the ship" The mate was even more confused.
Gao Yingjie slapped his head bitterly. His behavior today was so abnormal that he still thought he was on the shore.
Gao Yingjie took a deep breath to calm down the anxiety in his heart, and then breathed out slowly, as if all the anxiety in his heart had dissipated with the slowly spit out turbid air.
After exhaling, Gao Yingjie's energy perked up, and his eyes immediately became firm. Looking around again, in the midst of the storm, the sailors were all looking at him in surprise. The confusion in their eyes was just like that of new sailors who went to sea for the first time.
Gao Yingjie felt tense. It's really mysterious. It's just that the team he led to defeat countless bad weather collapsed.
"Everyone, sound the horn urgently and ask all the people who can be mobilized to come here." Gao Yingjie's tone was clear and loud this time, and every word fell to the ears of the sailors like a lead ball. With sound.
The mate beside Gao Yingjie immediately came to his senses. He immediately jumped up and ran towards the deck of the building ship.
Horn blasting is a special way of contacting this team, and it will not be used until the situation is in danger. Normally, semaphore is used for contact information. At this time, the speed of communication using semaphore is obviously a bit slow.
On top of the chain-linked building ship, a shrill and heavy horn sound rang out. This horn sound was still vigorous and powerful despite the sound of the huge waves on the East China Sea and the sound of hail hitting the ship. The penetrating power of this horn was extremely strong, and the sound spread through the chain-linked buildings and ships, and reached far, far away to the East China Sea, which was shrouded in clouds.
On top of the chain-linked building boats, sailors were seen constantly jumping out of their respective building boats and running towards the building boat where the accident occurred. These sailors have been trained to identify the position by listening to sounds early in the morning. Especially when there is a danger with this chain of iron chains, how to judge which building ship it is from has been trained countless times early in the morning, and in actual combat has been widely used.
Therefore, when the horn sounds, the sailors can immediately determine the location of the accident in a scene that looks like the end of the world.
People kept running towards the large ship, and the sailors at the bottom of the ship who were busy repairing leaks also became energetic. As long as Gao Yingjie doesn't fail, they all have absolute confidence in this team. This is the power of leadership.
?The brief confusion just now also made Gao Yingjie look at the nature of the incident where the building was smashed from another angle. He had clearly realized that the strange hail that hit his ship could not be without reason. It may not be possible to patch up the hole in the bottom of this ship using ordinary methods.
Because, Gao Yingjie felt that the strange hail was still under the water at the bottom of the boat.
