When lanster cut off three dogs'' heads as he wished, the sea water from the hole in the bottom of the boat was no more than his knees, the water level was still rising at the speed visible to the naked eye, and the strong water was surging in the cabin, which made it difficult for the team members to walk, and they could not get close to the hole at all.
Evans wiped the water from his face and yelled in a loud voice:
"Captain, what should I do? The current is too fast. Things with insufficient weight can''t block the hole at all. They will be washed away unless they are very heavy... "
Lanster looked around and didn''t find anything big enough in the cabin. He clenched his teeth and yelled:
"who said that without big guys, we are ourselves?"
Evans was stunned and looked at lanster a little confused.
Lanster said in a deep voice:
"there''s no time to find a big guy now. Let''s plug the leak with our bodies and buy time for the sailors who repair the leak. Otherwise, the longer we delay, the more water will enter into the water..."
"Don''t just stand there. Evans, Marek and gweilim, you three hurry around. The weight of the four of us is absolutely enough. We won''t be washed away by the current..."
"The others come to help us, hold on to our bodies..."
All the team members of the island protection team immediately gathered to support each other and move forward step by step against the increasingly fierce current. When the sea water submerged their waist, the team members finally approached the edge of the hole.
Lanster put his hands on the shoulders of his companions and yelled:
"everyone hold each other tightly, listen to my command, step together One... "
A group of people took a step forward, and lanster only felt his right foot stepping on the empty space.
No, it''s not empty space.
His right foot was right above a violent current, and his body was suddenly washed to the ground. If not for several arms pulling him at the same time, I''m afraid he would have been washed away.
Rao is so, he also felt his body floating up, this kind of experience is too strange, just like driving the current.
Er And a little bit of egg pain.
Yes, it''s egg pain.
Because the water from bottom to top constantly washes his eggs. Despite the protection of thick military trousers, he still feels a strong sense of oppression, which makes him want to clamp his legs and take care of Shuanghuang.
However, his sense of responsibility still prompted him to give up protecting eggs and yell out a second voice:
"two..."
A group of tightly held tins took the second step.
On the deck of Odin, another group of people are also working hard to plug the leak.
Chief officer Ludford stood on the edge of the ship''s side, shouting anxiously, urging his men.
"Prest, your team quickly dive to the bottom of the boat and block the leak with a plank. Remember, press the plank hard..."
"Dicky, as soon as they hold down the board, you''ll use the magic drill to drill a hole, insert the fixing pin into it, and fix the board..."
"Meneka, your team will take magic glue sprayer and carry one on each person''s back. After the board is fixed, you immediately start to apply glue to block every gap..."
"Kieran, you are the backup team. If someone is not strong enough, go to support immediately. Don''t let anyone have an accident..."
"We have organized drills every week for this kind of plugging operation. I hope everyone can succeed this time. In addition, before everyone goes into the water, remember to check the air bottle first..."
"Everyone speed up, don''t dally, if anyone delays, not only the bonus is gone, but also I will kick his ass hard..."
In the roar of Ludford, groups of sailors carrying air bottles and various kinds of equipment rushed to the side of the ship and jumped directly off the Odin.
A series of "poop" sounds followed. The sailors fell into the sea like dumplings, splashing large waves. Then they quickly waved their arms and swam to the pirate ship nearby.
More than ten seconds later, several sailors with large planks dived to the bottom of the pirate ship. To their surprise, they saw several human legs protruding from the bottom of the ship through the goggles.
This What''s the status of Temo?
These dogleg pestles are here. How can we plug the loophole?
The sailors had participated in many leak stoppage exercises, and it was the first time that they saw this strange situation, which made them not know what to do.
At this time, the sailor of the team, Prester, suddenly loosened the board, took out a sharp knife from his belt, and quickly swam to the dogleg.
The other sailors were surprised, and everyone looked at each other.
This is Are you going to cut off the dogleg?
It can be seen that the style of armor on the dogleg is clearly the dogleg of the island guard. How can you cut it casually?
After he swam near the dogleg, Prester turned back and made a gesture to his companions. He pointed to an area directly below the dogleg to indicate that they would drag the board here.The sailors nodded and took the board to the designated position according to Prester''s instructions.
As soon as the board was in place, Prester, against the turbulent current, held a knife and hit the leg armor on the dog''s leg with the back of the knife. The back of the knife hit the leg armor and made a dull collision sound.
"When When When... "
In the cabin, lanster immediately felt the vibration from the leg armour, and his face looked happy:
"here comes the plugging sailor, let''s get out of here quickly..."
A group of island guards breathed a sigh of relief and left the hole by the current.
At the bottom of the boat, the sailors were also greatly relieved to see the dog legs retract into the hole, revealing a hole with a diameter of nearly 1 meter.
The water flow near the entrance of the cave became more turbulent. The sailors holding the board felt a pressure coming from under the board and went up against the board. They stepped on the water with their feet and went upstream facing the entrance of the cave.
"Bang..."
With a slight sound, the board hit the bottom of the boat and completely covered the hole, and the turbulence disappeared in an instant.
It''s blocked!
Prester swam a few meters away with his hands and feet, and made a sign to another group of sailors who were waiting. The sailors immediately approached the board with their tools and accepted the follow-up work.
The next work is meticulous and time-consuming.
The sailors spent nearly ten minutes using magic drills to drill more than ten holes on the edge of the board, and even the bottom of the boat was drilled out together. They also took a metal hammer to knock the metal pin thick and thin with their thumb into the hole.
At this point, the board was fixed, and the sailors did not need to continue to press the board with manpower.
The next step is to apply glue.
The third group of sailors were in charge of this work. They carried strange tools. Everyone was carrying a square metal can behind his back and a long NIMA hose in his right hand. The other end of the hose was connected with the metal can.
It is worth noting that there is also a small Rune sleeve on the hose, which is just close to the hands of the sailors. A magic silver wire connects the sleeve and the metal can respectively.
This is what chief officer Ludford called "magic glue sprayer".
After the sailors get close to the board, they quickly aim the rubber hose at the edge of the board, activate the rune sleeve, and light blue light comes out from the Seamen''s fingers, which makes the flowing sea water halo blue. It looks like a dream.
A large amount of red and black glue poured out from the hose and smeared it between the board and the bottom of the ship. While the sailors swam slowly, they moved the hose along the edge of the board and kept spraying glue.
There are also two sailors wearing gloves made of NIMA glue, pressing on the surface of the glue to evenly smear the glue to prevent uneven thickness.
Five minutes later, a circle of red and black glue appeared on the edge of the whole board, like a box painted on the bottom of the boat.
Meneka, the leader of the gluing team, swam quickly to the bottom of the board and carefully checked the gluing situation. Then he nodded with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up to the seaman who was in charge of gluing.
Then he took a belt from his belt, untied the mouth of the bag, shook it a few times, a large number of white particles spilled out, quickly melted in the sea.
Then something strange happened.
The red and black glue on the board gradually turned into pure black at the speed visible to the naked eye. In just 10 seconds, the whole red and black box completely turned into a black box.
Meneka sucked hard at an air tube that he was biting in his mouth. There were many bubbles in his nose. Then he took out a knife and scratched it on the surface of the black gel.
The gel remained still, leaving only a few very slight scratches on the surface, which could not be seen without close observation.
Meneka began to laugh happily. She stepped on the water with her feet and swam to the sea. The other sailors followed.
Their mission is done!
After meneka''s head came out of the water, he spat out the hose he was biting in his mouth and exclaimed excitedly:
"boss, 10502 glue has come into effect, the hole is closed..."
The voice of chief officer Ludford came down immediately:
"well done! I will apply to the captain for 20% more bonus this month. "
There was a great cheer on the sea.
In this world, there are powerful water monsters all over the sea. Ocean going sailboats are often bitten by some curious sea monsters to taste. With their sharp teeth, they almost have a big hole.
Some people may want to ask, can''t we use very strong wood to make sailboats that can''t be bitten by sea monsters?
It''s a very good question, and businessmen want to do the same.
Unfortunately, the higher the strength of wood, the more difficult it is to process, and the manufacturing cost will be several times higher than other sailboats. It''s not that businessmen don''t want to use wood well, but they can''t afford it.
Well, since we can''t afford a good sailing boat, we can only patch it.In any case, the sea monsters can only chew a few bites at most. When they find that the wood doesn''t taste good, they will leave consciously. What is damaged is only the ship wall, and the keel won''t be damaged. Just plug the leak in time.
The new three years, the old three years and the mending three years are almost the most appropriate description of foreign sailing ships.
Many sailboats that have been used for a long time, if you look at them from the water, you can see that the bottom of the sailboat is covered with patches, which is worse than the dog''s gnawing.
Therefore, in the alien world, repairing loopholes is one of the necessary skills for almost every sailor. From this point of view, the sailor in the alien world is much harder than the sailor in the middle ages of the earth.
MMP, which side of the sailor will be as unlucky as us. If you have nothing to do, you have to plug a leak and seal a hole
There are many ways for foreign people to mend the loopholes. Some merchant ships use resin bonding, some use iron plate to mend, some use heavy ballast, some from the inside to mend, and some play external plugging.
The seamen of the sea tide collar also summed up a set of repair methods of their own, that is, using hard wooden boards to repair the holes from the outside.
Because external repair is significantly better than internal repair.
If it is repaired from the inside, the "patch" will continue to be subjected to sea water pressure, and the durability of the patch is not high. It will not take long for secondary water leakage to occur, so it can only be repaired again.
The external repair is different. The water pressure will press the "patch" on the bottom of the ship, and it will not leak for a long time. The only disadvantage is that sometimes the sea monster will linger, and the sailors dare not go into the water. They can only make a temporary patch inside and then make a permanent patch outside.
The reason why the pirate ship was broken was because there was an internal patch on the bottom of the ship. Seeing that they could not escape death, these guys simply broke an internal patch with the same mentality.
Otherwise, how can a good sailing boat, clearly covered with thick planks, be easily made a big hole in just a few minutes by some ordinary pirates who are not even awakeners?
Thanks to the unparalleled organizational power of the sea tide leader, the Department of navigation often organizes relevant training to practice the skill of plugging loopholes over and over again. In this skill, the skill level of the sailors is far higher than that of their peers.
In addition, with the help of the Institute of rune, the Department of navigation and oceanography also got a large number of magic machines, which greatly improved the work efficiency.
For the same loophole, it takes 10 minutes for sailors from other chambers of Commerce, but it takes only 2 minutes for seamen from tide collar. The gap between the two sides is very different.
"10502 glue" is the glue used by sailors to plug the leak. Its name naturally comes from Renault. This glue is one of the many achievements of Haichao collar in material science.
The main raw material of this glue is a kind of resin secreted by a tree called "pester tree", also known as "pester resin". Both human and wild animals can''t avoid pester resin.
If the skin is not carefully adhered to this resin, and there is no timely cleaning, it will definitely take off a layer of skin, which shows the great viscosity.
The rune magician studied for a period of time, added several other resins and mineral powder into the strangler resin, and made a strong glue, 10502 glue.
After testing, Renault found that the viscosity of this glue is at least 10 times stronger than that of 502 glue on earth, so this evil guy decided to name it 10502 glue, which means 10 times 502 glue.
In addition, 10502 glue has many interesting properties.
Because the raw material is resin, 10502 glue has excellent combination with wood material. After complete hardening, the two are almost a whole and can be cut continuously with a knife.
Moreover, its durability is very high, and it will not fall off in 3 or 4 years. If the use environment is good and there is no wind and rain, there will be no problem in 7 or 8 years.
On the other hand, the adhesion of 10502 glue to metal is not very good. After 2 or 3 months, it will fall off from the metal surface.
Nowadays, in haichaoling, it is widely used in furniture manufacturing industry. In many occasions, it has completely replaced tools such as nails.
Under normal circumstances, 10502 glue needs at least 15 minutes to completely harden when it is exposed to air. However, when it is exposed to salt water, the speed of hardness is five times faster than that under normal circumstances. The higher the concentration of salt water is, the faster the hardening speed is.
Just now when plugging the leak, meneka took advantage of this feature and sprinkled a bag of salt in the sea water, which greatly improved the hardening speed of the glue. It took only 10 seconds to complete the hardening.
The capture operation of the other three pirate ships was very smooth, and there was no breaking of the bottom of the ship.
After more than 20 Island guards led by bareheaded John successfully boarded another larger pirate ship, it took less than 20 minutes to complete the cleaning of the whole ship and occupy the pirate ship.
On the other side, Haichao, under the command of gulum, soon caught up with an escaped pirate ship. After several rounds of air gun fire, the pirates on the deck suffered heavy casualties, and then a team of island guards boarded the ship by force.The rest of the pirates saw that the enemy was so fierce and ferocious that they would not let go of the corpses. They took that kind of powerful strange weapon and shot each corpse several times. They were all frightened and rushed to surrender.
As for the last pirate ship, the smallest of the four, when the full speed Haichao was within a kilometer, it put on the white flag cleanly.
If you can''t fight but you can''t run away, what else can you do if you don''t surrender?
Ironically, because the pirates were the weakest and the fastest, after the battle, the pirate ship with the least crew became the sailing boat with the largest number of survivors.
At this point, the short encounter was completely over, and Renault got the result he wanted.
According to his agreement with the Duke of Castro, as soon as half a month later, the first batch of civilians near Nassau wetland will begin to move. The Duke will persuade the local nobles to jointly transport the civilians to port Arendt, waiting for Renault to take over.
Renault will pay the Duke a certain reward for each civilian according to his age. The specific distribution of the reward is negotiated between the Duke and the nobles themselves, and Renault will not participate.
There is no doubt that Castro, an old dog, will surely get the biggest share of the deal. However, Renault is willing to give up part of the benefit for the sake of his promotion.
Without certain benefits, who is willing to work hard?
It is precisely because there are a large number of civilians waiting to be received that Renault is eager to collect a number of sailing boats to prepare for the coming tide of immigration. As soon as he sees the four pirate ships coming, he orders his men to capture them completely.
At this time, the three merchant ships, who had been watching from a distance, saw the end of the battle, and then began to slowly approach the fleet.
After the leading merchant ship approached the Haichao, the two sides cried for a while in the air. Then a small boat was put down on the merchant ship, and several figures came down from the deck to the boat and swayed their oars to the Odin.
Before long, a bearded businessman with two entourage, panting up the deck of the Odin.
"Dear Mr. Renault, I am Gary, director of Maxwell chamber of Commerce. On behalf of the chamber of Commerce, I am very grateful for your help. For this, we are willing to pay a certain amount according to the tradition..."
After meeting Renault, the guy named "garridge" put forward his willingness to give money directly. It seems that he was worried about Renault''s evil intentions. He specially added:
"the Maxwell business association is one of the industries of the Maxwell family. The patriarch, Mr. Krupp Maxwell, holds the count title of Silver Lion Kingdom in Xinghai continent At the same time, he is also a powerful and extraordinary man
"If you know something about the Silver Lion Kingdom, you will probably know that the Earl of Maxwell is one of the wealthiest territories in the kingdom. Please believe that with the strength of Maxwell business association, you can definitely pay a satisfactory reward..."
Renault couldn''t help laughing at the half warning and half show off.
He glanced at geridge faintly and dropped a sentence lightly:
"I''ll take all your boats!"
Garrichton was shocked:
"Mr. Renault, we have something very important to go to thousand Lake kingdom. We can''t do without these three sailboats. Could you change the terms?"
