Chapter 539: Octopus Sea Monster
"Just listen!" When Ling'er quarreled with others, he would never admit defeat.
So the two turned their faces completely for more than a hundred gold coins.
However, this is only the first time, and it will be repeated many times in the future...
After seeing off the furious fat man, Ling'er strolled to the deck again, found a few officers on duty, and asked seriously how the current sea conditions are around us?
Several officers on duty said, Miss Ling'er, you should give up this idea. Commander Ibrahimovic gave us an order just now, and no one is allowed to take you to the island!
Xiao Chen knows a lot about this little girl of hers. She has been going crazy on the boat for the past two days. Gotta go see it!
But fortunately this is above the sea, no matter how good the little girl's qinggong is, she can't fly across the water to the island, and neither can her little accomplice Xiao Ye.
And neither of them knew how to sail a boat.
So as long as the officers and soldiers on the ship are not allowed to take her into the sea, she will have nothing to do.
"Damn it!" Ling'er frowned.
If it is on land, nothing can trap her, but at sea, she really has nothing to do.
The main reason is that no one knows how to drive a boat, and those who know how to drive ignore her...
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the stern of the ship, but a dozen sailors were anchoring. I caught a glimpse of Zuoshan George and the others, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my heart, and I walked over with my little hands on my back.
This golden battleship is about twenty feet long, four to five feet wide, and has a draft of about two thousand tons, so the iron anchors used on the ship are also very heavy, weighing more than two thousand catties.
What I used before was not an iron anchor, but a golden anchor made of pure gold...
Such a heavy anchor must not be retracted by manpower, so there is a large winch at the stern. When setting the anchor, several strong sailors need to slowly turn the winch to lower the anchor smoothly.
Lowering the anchor is a very important job. As the saying goes, "every boat sails in the wind and cannot be anchored, the whole body is tied to the anchor." When encountering wind and waves on the sea, the fate of the whole ship is tied to this big anchor .
If any accident occurs during operation, it is likely to cause disastrous consequences!
For example, when the anchor encounters the vortex and undercurrent of the seabed, the iron anchor suddenly sinks rapidly, which will cause the iron chain to break, the iron anchor will sink to the bottom, and the iron chain thrown back will injure people and even break the hull.
Therefore, all the sailors who anchored are big-bodied, powerful and experienced.
But today, a strange thing happened. The anchor chain was put in half, and suddenly became tense. It seemed that the anchor was pulled by something?
The blue veins on the foreheads of several sailors were exposed, the muscles in their thick arms were tense, and all of them were sweating profusely. They were unable to control the winch even after exhausting their breastfeeding strength...
"Baga!" Hengdu Saburo on the side cursed when he saw this, rushed over and kicked a big man away, stretched out his short arms to hug the thick wooden handle on the winch, his feet clinging to the deck, and leaned into a At a forty-five-degree angle, the winch was barely controlled.
Crossing Saburo may look small, but he is extremely powerful!
But despite this, the winch still made a grating creaking sound, the iron chain had been stretched to a very dangerous state, and even the thousand-ton ship began to shake!
"Oh, what is it? Could it be a sea monster!" Ling'er lay on the side of the boat and looked down, only to see that the sea seemed to be boiling, with countless bubbles rolling upwards, and seven or eight huge ones appeared. The vortex, spinning rapidly...
Xiao Chen and the others also noticed something strange, and flew over to check the situation together.
"What the hell is it really a sea monster?" Xiao Chen looked horrified at the boiling sea water.
"Oops, this is an octopus sea monster!" Ibrahimovic frowned.
"Well, it must be this kind of thing!" Zuoshan Saji saw sweat on his forehead and looked nervous.
"What octopus sea monster?" Ling'er said she had never heard of it before, "Is it a real monster?"
"No." Zuoshan Saji said, "It's a big octopus, a very big octopus..."
Now the scientific community calls it the king octopus.
It is said that this kind of king octopus is comparable in size to a ship, and its eight tentacles are seven to eight feet long. The suction cups on it are the size of a millstone!
This king octopus is particularly irritable and aggressive, but it generally hides at the bottom of the sea and rarely comes to the surface unless disturbed...
It is estimated that the iron anchor on the ship hit it just now so that it could not die, which immediately angered it and showed its power.
"Shoot an arrow at it, hit it with a musket, or use a cannon to kill it if it doesn't work!" Linger suggested.
But not.
No matter how strong the bow and arrow are, they can't shoot that deep underwater, and the guns are useless. As for the cannon, they can't shoot that deep. Secondly, the cannons on our ship are all on the deck, and the ship's side is too high, and the elevation angle is not enough. It is impossible to put the mouth that low.
Because the golden battleship built by Ullman is not used for combat at all, but for pretending to be aggressive. Compared with a battleship, it is more like a luxury cruise ship...
"Immediately report to General Wu Hanming, let the surrounding warships disperse, put all the oarsmen in place, order the helmsman to turn the rudder to the left, and put down all the boats on the side of the ship...Beat the drum!" Ibrahimovic gave several orders in succession.
Xiao Chen can still understand the previous few orders, but why do you want to beat the drum?
"Usually when encountering an octopus sea monster, we will make some loud noises on the boat, maybe we can scare it away!" Zuoshan Saji explained.
"That's nonsense, isn't it?" Xiao Chen disagreed, "Let's not talk about whether that thing has ears or not, it can hear farts at such a deep depth in the bottom of the sea...can we just disconnect the anchor chain?"
Fortunately, the golden anchor was replaced by an iron anchor, otherwise I really feel reluctant.
But it doesn't work either.
Because this kind of octopus sea monster has a strong desire for revenge. Once it is alarmed, it will not give up until it destroys your ship and kills you!
Now it is trying to overturn our boat, so it is pulling on the anchor and if we break the anchor chain, it will float up and attack us from the bottom of the boat, and we will die at that time.
So now we can only deal with it first, try to delay it as long as possible, and wait until our other warships around us have dispersed and gone far away before abandoning the ship...
"Abandon ship?" Xiao Chen was taken aback.
"Yes boss, we must abandon the boat, the boats have already been put down, please leave quickly, boss, we will try our best to hold it!" Ibrahimovic waved his hands and ordered the boss to be escorted off the boat, speed!
"Then what about you and the brothers on board?" Xiao Chen frowned.
"We will try our best to deal with it, and if we can't, we will jump ship. We are all good at water, boss, don't worry." Ibrahimovic kept urging Xiao Chen and the others to get on the boat quickly. General Wu Haiming's flagship has already approached and ready Ready to respond.
"No, everyone is fighting with sea monsters on the boat, is it reasonable for me to take the first step as the boss?" Xiao Chen flatly refused, "Let Linger and the others go first, and the boss will stay with the brothers to accompany the sea monster Just play, I don't believe it, I can kill even the Dragon King, so I'm afraid of some monster!"
"Boss, this is absolutely unacceptable. If you have any troubles, then..." Ibrahimovic still wanted to persuade him.
