The fleet sailed on the sea for three days, the sea was gentle and considerate, and the wind and waves were understanding. Everything was safe and sound.

But at the early morning of the fourth day, an ominous hyacinth suddenly blew from the eastern seas, and the sea and sky that were within sight, a faint blue-black color appeared.

Supervisor Haiyong and Li Luo's student Zheng He reported to Li Luohui as soon as possible: "Teacher, based on the students' experience, there may be a big storm, which should be more than an hour later."

Li Luo looked at the sea breeze that changed his face like a sympathizer and asked, "How far is the nearest island?"

Zheng He opened the chart and calculated, "There are several islands nearly a hundred miles to the west. The fleet can sail for forty miles in more than an hour with this east wind."

Choi Soo-ning frowned and said, "That means, when a big hurricane really came, we haven't reached the island to the west yet?"

She didn't know much about sailing, so she was very worried. There were more than 5,000 lives on the fleet, if something happened...

Zheng He said: "Madam, don't worry. Even if we don't go to the west island to hide, the hurricane may not be able to do anything to our fleet. These ships are all suitable for long-distance sailings. Going to the west island is just in case."

Li Luo nodded and ordered: "Zheng He, the fleet is now under your command."

Zheng He received the order and immediately ordered the sail to be adjusted and the rudder was turned. The captains and sailors on the seven ships received the order to operate the sailboat together, and soon turned to the west and sailed towards the mainland.

At this time, the east wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the fleet opened its sails and ate the wind on the front, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning stood on the deck of the "Success" in the front, looking at the growing waves, both of them were worried.

With the shipbuilding level of this era, sailing on the sea is really a daunting opportunity. Especially for long-distance voyages, the incidence of shipwreck accidents will reach an astonishing 10%.

In other words, if you sail ten times, you will encounter a shipwreck accident. Whether you can survive depends on your luck.

Zheng He was also on this ship, and he was also becoming more and more worried. I remember that when he was sailing with his family, he encountered such hyacinths. The terrifying storms that day still existed in his memory.

It was almost the same day, and the ship sank.

The wind today is very similar to the time that time. The sky is also the same color, and the time is August. The wind also comes from the east, and it also starts in the morning. It is also smaller, smaller, and bigger, and the cycle is getting bigger and bigger.

Zheng He knew very well that when the wind and waves were very strong, the ship would easily collided if it was too close. If it was too far, it would not be able to convey the message. At that time, no matter whether it was a flag whisper or a shout, it would have no effect.

Therefore, appropriate distances must be kept between ships. Moreover, preparatory instructions must be issued in advance.

Zheng He immediately issued a preparatory order to each ship. His order was that once the flagship was found to lower the sails, the other six ships would also lower the sails quickly.

Now it is a good wind, and the bigger the wind, the faster the ship is. However, once the wind reaches a certain point, the sails on the ship make the ship more dangerous. It is necessary to reduce the sails and reduce the wind, so that the force of the wind blowing on the ship becomes smaller.

As the wind and waves grew stronger, although the fleet was still stable at present, everyone was still nervous.

Many people have this natural fear of the sea when they take a boat to sea for the first time. How can they not be afraid of the sea at this time?

"Woo woo..." The sea breeze on the east side seemed to be the charge of the waves, or the sigh of heaven, coming from the sea and sky. The sky became even darker, just like the gods washing brushes in the sky, making the sky slowly darker.

Li Luo saw many big-sea fish jumping out of the sea on the sea, and it seemed very spectacular to go there.

"That's a dragon soldier." Li Luo said to Cui Xiuning, "There is really a big storm coming. It may be above level 7 or eight."

Cui Xiuning said: "It is because the air pressure becomes lower and the fish lacks oxygen, so they jump out of the sea."

Li Luo smiled and said, "These fish remind me of the need to organize a whaling fleet."

Choi Soo-ning snorted: "Let's talk about it after the hurricane has passed. It's also whaling... Maybe the whales will eat us first today."

"I was wrong." Li Luo shook his head, "I was really wrong."

Choi Soo-ning sighed, "Do you think you are wrong and shouldn't take risks easily?"

Li Luo nodded, "You are always so smart. Many times, if I say a little bit, you can guess what it means. You are right, I am wrong, and we shouldn't take risks ourselves. Why do you have to do it yourself when leading immigrants to sea and voyages during the high incidence of hurricanes?"

Cui Xiuning shook her head: "Do you think that a son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall, and a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall. He is also a small big man. His safety is related to the welfare of thousands of people, so don't you take risks easily?"

A little big man? These words...

"Not bad." Li Luo admitted, "That's what I think now. You and I are the hope of many people, and the hope of more and more people. Why are all people in the Luoning social system, whether from Haidong or Jianghua, living better and better? Because we. When we die, everything will become what we are."

Choi Soo-ning smiled. She smiled very well, which was simply amazing, but the meaning of ridicule was obvious. "I believe half of your words, so I can't do more. Only this half is mixed with water because of friendship."

Li Luo was "angry", "What about the other half? Is it because I am afraid of death and cherish my life?"

Cui Xiuning pointed to the sky, "The wind is getting stronger. Mr. Li, of course you are not afraid of death. Don't cry when you get off the boat and overturn."

Li Luo asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Cui Xiuning said: "The education I received, whether it is a policeman or a agent, emphasizes despising one's own life and valuing the lives of the people. Maybe it's because I've been brainwashed, so I'm not too afraid of death." After she said that, she pointed to the immigrants, "But I'm even more afraid of them."

Li Luo smiled bitterly, "People? I only see people one by one, never see people. I will regret the sacrifice of the people. But I can't sacrifice for the people. Can you really do it?"

Cui Xiuning looked at Dahai and was silent, as if she was examining this issue for the first time.

After a while, her beautiful eyes were a little confused, "I'm not sure I can really do it. Perhaps, the teachers and grandpa who taught me how they did not necessarily do it."

Li Luo said: "But you are still better than me. Your selfish index is much lower than mine."

Cui Xiuning shook her head, "You may not be wrong."

Li Luo suddenly looked Cui Xiuning in the eyes and grabbed her hand.

Cui Xiuning did not break free this time. She knew what Li Luo meant. Because, she saw that the waves were as big as a tomb, the whistling of the sea breeze became more and more shrill, and the dim sky was already flashing with heart-pounding thunder and lightning.

"Boom!"

Among the rolling clouds, the first lightning finally broke free from its constraints and tore open the clouds and slashed the sea.

Thunder and lightning were like a command of heavy rain, and then it was pouring down.

Everyone hid in the cabin.

Everyone can only see the sea outside through the windows, heavy rain, strong wind and strong waves.

Zheng He came to Li Luo's Jue Room (ship owner's cabin) in rain and reported: "Teacher, now there are dozens of miles from the island to the west.ww When the hurricane is the strongest, we may not be able to rush to the island to hide. This time the storm is not small, so please...be prepared."

On the sea, if the ship capsizes in a hurricane, what else can I prepare? Of course, I am ready to die.

As for preparing a dry wood and holding the idea of ​​not sinking, it is purely a matter of course. In the big waves, a non-sinking wood cannot save you at all. The big waves will bring you into and swallow you like burying them alive.

“Woo woo…”

"Boom..."

"Wow"

The storm became even more violent, like a tyrant who was awakened by someone in his sleep, roaring and roaring, making everyone tremble.

At a moment, through the window in the cabin, I saw the waves on the sea, which were more than ten feet high. Even a large ship like the "Zheng He" swayed very violently.

Cui Xiuning suddenly staggered and hit Li Luo's arms. Before Li Luo could speak, the two of them fell down by the bumpy boat.

The two of them touched their noses, and the eyelashes on their eyes felt each other. But at this time, there was no charm in their hearts.

Because the storm is really scary.

The sea became more and more gloomy, and Zheng He's roar came from outside: "Flagship sails down!"

"Salt reduction!" A large group of sailors took advantage of the temporary safety of the deck and rushed towards the mast and descended the sails in the heavy rain. Seeing the flagship sails down, other ships also lowered their sails down and reduced their winds.

As soon as the sails dropped, the speed of the ship suddenly dropped rapidly, but the shaking amplitude was much smaller.

But everyone's hearts were raised.
