After the dhow was transformed into a two-masted ship, the size of the spirit ship was several times larger.
Driven by the two masts and two sails plus the bow sail, and the power of three electric oar motors driven by spiritual power and better than nothing, the basic speed of the spirit boat has not dropped.
At this time, the two dragon heads on the bow of the building boat are high, sliding more than 9 meters per second, really as fast as swimming dragons.
And Zheng Yang's perception of the underwater world through the spirit boat has also expanded to a radius of 27 meters.
"It was 3:40 p.m. when we left the island, and we are expected to return to English Port before 7:00. But this time we will not go to Yingjili on our return voyage. We will go to the north of it and find a small port to stay for a few days."
Zheng Yang stepped from the pilothouse to the trapezoidal bow deck.
This activity area is very large, looking down it is trapezoidal, the upper bottom is 2 meters, the lower bottom is 4 meters, and the height is 4 meters. In addition, the motor and pulley block of the bilge replace the previous winch, which makes this deck look very spacious.
Except for the mast standing in the middle, and the ropes pulled down from the mast, there is nothing else.
…
Halfway through the trip, Zheng Yang saw a yacht appearing three nautical miles ahead... no, this time it was a cruise ship, and it was sailing normally.
The last time he crossed the sea with a small boat, he encountered Entes' small yacht; this time he crossed the sea with a large boat, and he encountered a large cruise ship.
Zheng Yang felt that this encounter was too mysterious.
The speed of the cruise ship in front is about 15 knots, enjoying the sea journey at a not too fast speed.
Therefore, Zheng Yang's ship is slowly approaching each other. At the current relative speed, if both sides do not change direction, the ship will catch up with the cruise ship in about an hour and arrive outside English Harbour.
Zheng Yang put down the binoculars, opened the chart to check the route of the cruise ship.
"If it's not going around in circles, it's actually coming from Ireland on this route? Passing through the sea about 30 nautical miles north of the island, it's headed for English Port."
The cruise ship in front had already spotted the building ship.
On the bridge, the old captain in white uniform clicked on the image of the smart telescope with his own hands, and zoomed in to take a closer look.
After a while, the old captain muttered to himself: "God, did it sail across time and space from the seas of the Middle Ages?"
"Captain, it's clearly not! It doesn't have a huge winch on its deck, and those above the cabin are obviously solar panels!"
"It has propellers, otherwise it wouldn't be able to reach such a high speed."
The first mate said solemnly.
The captain resisted the urge to roll his eyes, can't I see it? Do you understand my way of exclamation
"Carl, I bet it's really made of wood, it's not a decoration. Just bet on your bottle of whiskey!" The captain patted the mate on the shoulder and said.
The first mate shrugged: "No, I won't bet with you, Mr. Captain!"
A hint of disappointment appeared on the captain's face, thinking that this guy was really boring.
"Carl, you are still young, you need to know how to find fun. Haven't you heard that small gambling can cultivate sentiment!"
"Hehe, you're right, I'm still young, and I can save my energy to find some fun, such as a big party tonight."
"This is our first big party on this voyage, and it has to be attended with heart. Maybe I'll meet a charming lady to spend the night with. Are you right, Mr. Captain?"
"..."
It's too vicious, if the old captain has the ability to return it, is there any need for a small gamble.
The captain lamented in his heart, skipped the topic just now, looked at Lou Chuan on the screen again, and said:
"In this era, sailing is either rich or expensive, and it is still this ancient shape with ocean-going capabilities. Carl, we should invite the owner of this boat to come over as a guest."
Carl deeply agreed and said: "According to our plan, we will stop in the waters near English Port in one and a half hours and hold a large party. He should catch up with us in one hour, and he will have arrived near English Port by then. .”
"Then, use the radio to contact the other party, and formally send out our invitation!"
The captain gave instructions to the correspondent.
The communicator took off the headset and said: "Captain, there is no radio communication equipment on that ship, or the other party is silent!"
"Then wait for the opponent to catch up with us, and then use the semaphore to ask him to approach."
…
In fact, only forty minutes passed before Lou Chuan caught up.
In this sea area, English Harbor can already be seen in the distance.
There are flag bearers waving flags on cruise ships.
About 200 meters away, Zheng Yang saw it, but he couldn't understand the semaphore.
On the deck of the cruise ship, many passengers were admiring the sunset on the sea, and they also saw the ancient style of the building behind them, and they all felt their eyes brightened. They took pictures one after another, and someone yelled at Lou Chuan.
Two minutes later, Lou Chuan was 30 meters away to the right of the cruise ship, and Zheng Yang could clearly hear the shouts from the cruise ship.
At this time, Zheng Yang saw a set of messages scrolling on a huge LCD screen on the side of the cruise ship. The content was impressively inviting the owner of the boat to be a guest on the ship and to participate in the evening party.
Are all cruise ships so hospitable, inviting people to play casually on the sea
Zheng Yang was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
The scrolling information on the LCD screen also left a satellite phone number for contact, Zheng Yang took out his phone and called.
Night parties on cruise ships, this legendary one-night stand, of course... this is not the point, Zheng Yang thinks that since he has the opportunity to go on a cruise for free, going up to visit the layout will also help to transform the spirit ship in the future.
"Hello, I'm Zheng Yang, the owner of Lou Chuan..."
After finishing the call, Zheng Yang realized that it was the captain and first mate's decision to invite him to be a guest.
This cruise ship will not enter English Port tonight, and will only berth in the deep sea for a party. After all, the cost of entering the port for such a large cruise ship is too high. It will enter the port for a short stay tomorrow, and pick up the passengers here to continue the rest of the journey.
The other party also pretended to be mysterious and told Zheng Yang that in addition to the large-scale public party tonight, there was also a masquerade party held in secret on a small scale!
Isn't this synonymous with the unscrupulous convention? Naked temptation!
The cruise ship and the building ship were already very close to English Port, with less than half an hour of voyage left, at this time they both began to slow down.
Due to the huge inertia, it took nearly ten minutes for the cruise ship to stop moving forward.
The building boat now has a way of being driven by spiritual energy. It is not a problem to move forward, backward, or even drift sideways. The micro-control is very convenient, and there is absolutely no problem of inaccurate prediction when docking. So Zheng Yang successfully tied the building boat under a gangway on the right rear side of the cruise ship, and boarded the cruise ship from the bow of the building boat.
This cruise ship is more than 200 meters long and 40 meters high. The building boat was docked next to it, and the height of the mast was barely enough to reach other people's decks, so it looked very small.
