Nevi's eyes were a little wandering when she was asked, her hands were folded, and she kept twirling her thumbs, while Rui Rui, a beauty in men's clothing, stood quietly beside her, looking like she didn't intend to answer anything for Nevi.
.
Seeing this, Lin Zheng's face became a little helpless, "Let's change the question! How did you get caught by those pirates?"
"Our ship encountered a storm at sea and was severely damaged. When we encountered those guys, they couldn't run away at all, so they were arrested."
"You two are the only ones on the boat?"
"There were also a few sailors, but unfortunately they were all blown away in the storm."
"What are you doing out at sea?"
"adventure!"
After answering, Nevi quickly covered her mouth, and her eyes showed a bit of annoyance.
Lin Zheng looked at her angrily, knowing that this eldest lady would not go out for any serious purpose. She dared to run to the sea with a maid. To say she had courage, she was still a bit too single-minded.
Under Lin Zheng's gaze, Nai Wei lowered her head and whispered: "I have loved sailing since I was a child, but my family has never allowed me to go to sea."
"This is no reason for you to sneak out!" Lin Zheng said angrily. After hearing this, Nevi's head dropped even lower.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Zheng looked at Rui Rui and met his gaze. Rui Rui bowed slightly and said: "Hello sir, I am very honored to meet you here. I am Rui Nao, Hu De.
The lady’s personal maid.”
"Hello Rui Nao!" Lin Zheng nodded, "You don't look like you are from Wei. Where are you from?"
"The Britan Empire." Ruinao replied, "It is about eight thousand nautical miles away from the Wei Empire."
"Eight thousand nautical miles!" Lin Zheng sighed for a while, "It's quite far! Fortunately, you two were able to run here. If we have more than a few dozen nautical miles, we can reach the Wei Empire."
Hearing this, Nai Wei raised her head and said, "I've been running for more than six months!"
"This is not a compliment to you!"
Lin Zheng glared at her, and Nai Wei lowered her head dejectedly, which made Rui Nao even smile a little.
That's right. Rui Nao, who came back to his senses, looked at Lin Zheng and said, "I haven't asked you for your name yet."
"My name is Lin Zheng and Lin Yiping, and this is my daughter-in-law, Mei Linlin!"
"Pah!" Merlin habitually slapped Lin Zheng on the back of the head. Can't you introduce this idiot devil in a more serious manner?!
Only then did Naiwei realize that she didn't even know the names of Lin Zheng and the others, so she quickly said: "It turns out to be Mr. Yiping and Mrs. Lin Lin. I'm glad to meet you two."
Merlin's eyes showed a bit of helplessness. Thanks to this stupid demon king, her name "Lin Lin" could not escape at least in the eternal dream.
After smiling at Nevi, Merlin said: "You don't have to be so polite, Miss Hood, just call me Lin Lin."
Lin Zheng caught Merlin's hand that was about to attack him, and then said to Nevi seriously: "Since you have loved sailing since you were a child, you should know something about ship management, right?"
"I know it very well!" Nevi immediately became excited when talking about what she liked. "I have read many books on this subject since I was a child. I also built a house like a boat at home for training. Last time I met
When the storm comes, if the captain is willing to listen to me, our ship will not be so seriously damaged!"
See what you can do!
Lin Zheng couldn't help laughing when he met Nevi, who was full of stars. He then put away his smile and said seriously: "Very good! In that case, from now on, you will be the captain of the Victory.
There are more than 2,000 people on and off the ship, and you will have to manage them from now on."
"Huh?" Nevi's expression was stunned, "What did you just say?"
"From now on, you are the captain of the Victory."
"Eh?!" After confirming Lin Zheng's words again, Nevi immediately jumped up in exclaim, "Are you kidding me? I will be the captain of the Victory?!"
"Of course I'm not joking!" Lin Zheng said seriously, "I have never had any experience in managing a ship before, let alone there are more than two thousand people on the ship now, so of course I can only let you come."
"But... cocoa... but..." Nevi stammered, "I have never managed such a big ship before!"
"At least you've managed a ship, haven't you?" Lin Zheng said with a smile, "It's much better than me who has no experience at all! Let's make this decision!"
"Then...okay!" Nevi nodded apprehensively, but her eyes were full of excitement and expectation, and then she said to Lin Zheng: "I will work hard to manage the Victory!"
"Come on! Whether you can drive the Victory to the other side of the ocean depends entirely on you!"
"Yes!" Nevi nodded heavily, stood up and said, "Then I will go and assign the work now!" After that, she left in a hurry.
After waving goodbye to Rui Nao with a smile on his face, Merlin slapped Lin Zheng again, "You are quite good at finding opportunities for yourself to take some time off!"
"Otherwise, what do you think we should do?!" Lin Zheng said angrily, "I really don't know how to manage a battleship! How about a battleship with more than 2,000 people! Besides, if we don't find a captain for the crew now, we will do it later.
After arriving at the shore and leaving, what do you want the people on the boat to do?"
"So, are you planning to give the Victory to Hood in the future?"
"We haven't decided on this yet. After all, we don't know enough about this young lady who has run away from home." Lin Zheng couldn't help but smile, "But personally, I'm quite optimistic about her. She loves sailing.
People should cherish their own crew members." As for the Victory, Lin Zheng really didn't take it seriously. If it is really needed, it would be great to refine another one. As long as we ensure that the Victory is not unreasonable or unreasonable,
, Lin Zheng was very satisfied.
Mei Lin shook her head gently. She really felt a little helpless about Lin Zheng's character of trusting others easily, but she couldn't deny that Lin Zheng's intuition was really strong. So far, she trusted Lin Zheng.
No one has ever disappointed him. Merlin didn't know where to start when he wanted to preach. In the end, he could only sigh in frustration and helplessness, turned around and said, "I'll go take a look."
Is there anything you need help with? That girl Hood runs so fast, maybe no one will recognize her as the captain."
Merlin's worries were not unnecessary. When she came to the deck, the scene was already full of doubts about Neve. Lamiriel and the others were not aware of Lin Zheng's decision, so even though they were on the scene, they were not aware of it.
I don't know what to say. Now, with Merlin proving Nevi's identity after arriving, everyone is convinced of Nevi's identity as the captain.
Nevi, who had successfully established her authority, was very happy and immediately started her work as captain. However, Nevi did not arrange the crew to work immediately. Instead, she conducted a simple assessment on the crew on the spot.
Use this to understand the capabilities of the crew.
Many of the crew members are people living in coastal areas, or simply old crew members, and many of them have some sailing experience. Nevi simply classified the crew members through assessments, and then based on the crew members' abilities and expertise.
A temporary division of labor was carried out, and finally the crew members were allowed to start their own work, which seemed orderly.
Seeing the novice crew members on the ship quickly starting to work and study in an orderly manner, Merlin couldn't help but admire him. It seems that the eldest lady Hood is not just good at talking about it. In terms of ship management, this lady
Sailing enthusiasts indeed have their own uniqueness.
However, Miss Hood soon began to feel dizzy, because the way of maneuvering the Victory was different from that of a traditional sailing battleship! Then a crew member assigned to the gun deck reported to her that the Victory's ship
They had never seen a cannon before and didn't know how to operate it!
With no other choice, Miss Hood had no choice but to turn to Merlin for help. Fortunately, Merlin still knew about the Victory. After nodding with a smile, he personally guided Neve.
Just as the crew of the Victory was carrying out their work in an orderly manner, Lin Zheng made a brand-new discovery! He seemed to see the hope of his research in the pirate leader's special "weapon".
The pirate leader's "weapons" are very special. The material they are made of is the same as ordinary "weapons". But the strange thing is that although they have the same material information, the pirate leader's "weapons" are made of a kind of material.
Energy form exists. This discovery deeply surprised Lin Zheng. Matter can be converted into energy. Lin Zheng is very clear about this. However, energy is used to record the information of matter, so as to maintain the energy form while expressing
This is the first time Lin Zheng has seen the properties of a certain substance!
"Why do I feel like I don't understand what you're talking about, Yi Ping?" Xun asked in confusion.
Lin Zheng smiled energetically, and then explained: "Let's give a simple and clear example!" Lin Zheng took out a gold coin and said, "The gold we know is such a golden solid, right?"
"Then what?"
"But now there is a special energy body. In addition to its existence form being different from the gold we know, it has all the characteristics of gold. Even the information analyzed by the analytical eye is also called 'gold'.
The same material information."
"Then is it still gold?"
"Yes!" Lin Zheng said firmly, "It's just transformed from a material form into an energy form. Its total energy and information have not changed at all."
As he spoke, Lin Zheng showed an excited look, "And this is also the breakthrough of our research. As long as we figure out the key, we can convert anything into energy form and store it. When the time comes,
Maybe you can really equip dozens of sets of equipment!"
