Chapter 311 Set Sail
It is indeed easier for people to integrate into the group by having a fool around than if everyone politely keeps their distance. Although, this may be a disaster for some, but for sailors about to navigate treacherous waterways, it is just right. Disaster never greets people, let alone considers people's feelings.
Fu Han is very adaptable. In the words of sailors, this is called "on the road", and he is a man who can run a boat. If Fu Han can't adapt, it's easy, just lock him in the cabin. At this time, between psychological life and death and physical life and death, we can only take care of the latter.
The signature dish of shark fishermen is the shark wolves in the waters near the dock.
Sharks are powerful predators in the sea. They live in groups in the sea and cooperate with each other to hunt. It is really a sea beast like a pack of wolves, so it is called a shark wolf.
The shark is actually a mammal. They have no scales but are covered with gray downy hairs. Sharks have gill-like organs that allow them to breathe underwater. Their heads also look somewhat like wolves, and their mouths have sharp teeth like wolves. An adult shark wolf can reach two meters in length and is fierce and cunning.
The boss of the shark fisherman, Bald Man, would regularly take his men out on voyages to hunt sharks and wolves. Shark Wolf's fur is waterproof and warm. It is a very high-quality fur and is very popular in the alliance. The shark wolf steak as a leftover is also very popular among sailors. It is cheap and tastes good.
The shark catcher's barbecue master is a native of Yanyan City, an authentic hunting believer. The skill of charcoal grilling and salt grilling is quite famous in the dock. Therefore, the business of shark fishermen is very good, and it is full every day. In serious cases, sailors will fight for position!
The shark wolf steak is brushed with secret sauce, grilled with rock salt and fruit spices, and then sprinkled with chili and sesame seeds. It is eaten with ice-cold ale. It is a great enjoyment in the hot dock.
But some old sailors won't let the barbecue chef handle their shark steak. Because the shark wolf steak is cooked at different temperatures, the taste is very different. Starting from raw to toasted. The taste is different.
Everyone has their own different tastes. Old sailors with special preferences will bring over the raw shark and wolf steaks that have been brushed with sauce, and then ask for two rock salt fruits to put into the fire and smoke them themselves. When you think the heat is right, grab a handful of condiments, sprinkle them on, and start eating.
Therefore, Fu Han, who was new to the restaurant, was able to taste shark wolf steak in three different cooking conditions.
One is baked by Laojiu, which is fully cooked and slightly burnt, and is particularly chewy. The more you chew, the more salty aroma reverberates in your mouth. Not bad...just a bit of a waste.
The second type is a rib shared by Tang Changfeng. The meat of the cut he chose was very tender and the bones were soft and crispy. Only three ripe, the meat is tender and the bones are crispy, with rich texture. But...Captain Tang doesn't like seasoning and likes to eat something original. Therefore, the fishy smell is extremely strong...
After eating, everyone asked him how it tasted.
Fu Han shook his head: "I can't get used to it... I can't get used to it."
It made everyone laugh again.
The last one is grilled by the Sharkman BBQ chef. Five ripe, the heat is just right. The gravy is juicy and extremely flavorful. Qiqilu also likes it very much.
Everyone says that everyone likes ordinary flavors at first, but then they start to develop in various strange directions.
Shark fishermen’s delicacies are not limited to shark and wolf steaks. Compared with the hospitality of the Chief Bursar of Misty Island, the taste here is more in line with Fu Han's aesthetics. Grilled fish, fried snails, open-tail shrimps, fried shells in various sauces and shark offal soup are all delicious. The seafood porridge with some kind of chopped fruit is very unique, and the sweet and sour sea honey lemon tea is also refreshing and relieves the spiciness.
Fu Han also ate a lot, so he kept eating and drinking all the time. Until there are fewer and fewer people in front of the long charcoal stove. Some were drunk and were carried back to rest. Some are busy looking for happiness. Lao Liu also asked Fu Han if he would go with them to see the night view of the sea.
Fu Han pretended not to understand and pointed to the sea next to him: "Isn't this the night view of the sea?"
Lao Liu scolded Fu Han for being a fool and turned away.
In the end, there were only a few people left, and Fu Han chatted with Tang Yunfan about the academy.
When Tang Changfeng saw that his sister and Fu Han were always talking in low voices, he finally couldn't help but call Fu Han to his side and cursed: "Don't tell her about the academy!"
Fu Han was puzzled: "The college is okay..."
"She grew up on a boat. She will feel dizzy and want to vomit when she goes ashore!"
"...It will take a few days to get used to it, right?"
Tang Changfeng became angry and shouted: "In short, if you are told not to say anything, don't say anything!!"
Before Fu Han could reply, on the other side of the long charcoal stove, Tang Yunfan had already stood up and left without looking back.
Tang Changfeng sighed and drank, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
At this time, the chief engineer on the side smiled and said to Han: "Don't worry about them. Xiao Qi, I think you are good. Do you want to come to my place as an engineer?"
Fu Han shook his head and said, "No, the noise is too loud and it can cause tinnitus."
The chief engineer tilted his head and asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly..."
…
In fact, the sea dock is used to produce warships. Tang Changfeng's ship is an old model hunting ship named "Vermilion".
Ships get older with use, but people get stronger and stronger. Older ships are enough to show the extraordinary ability of their captains. In the sea yard, the older model boats are the real showpiece. When berthing in the port or leaving the port for sailing, other ships will give way to the channel.
Also, just because the model is old doesn’t mean it doesn’t perform well. In addition to producing new ships, the most important task of the maritime dock is to renovate old ships. For an old ship like the Vermilion, the ship frame is just an old model. The depth of other parts of the transformation... is hard to see!
For example, the Vermilion's engine and energy system have undergone in-depth modifications. It can now burn gasoline, coal, and firewood. There is also a rapid mode that consumes pyroxene, which can increase the maximum speed of the Vermilion to 60 knots! In this mode, the Vermillion will still have a chance to escape even if it encounters the main force of the Alliance Navy.
As with all hybrid conversions, this results in an extremely noisy engine. Therefore, the chief engineer who often stays in the engine room will have tinnitus. This kind of tinnitus is even protective. With such a loud noise, if you are not deaf enough, you may go crazy...
The name Zhuhonghao was chosen because the Tang family in Wangya had red hair and curly beards. Vermilion is actually relatively low-key and not very popular. The silver-gray primer is paired with a little dark red paint pattern, which makes it look weathered.
The streamlined hull of the Vermilion was nearly a hundred meters long, with a displacement of three to four thousand tons or more, and Fu Han couldn't be sure. The harpoon cannons on both sides of the ship are very conspicuous, but it is the unknown weapons covered by canvas that make people really curious.
Lao Qi, who acted as the gunner, said that there was a pyroxene cannon on the ship, which could only be used by fourth-level star masters. Only the captain and first mate could use it. He did not elaborate on which one it was.
Fu Han didn't know whether it was true or not. It was possible that the Vermilion was filled with pyroxene cannons, or it was possible that there were none at all.
There was also a weapons bay on the ship. Lao Shi showed Fu Han the way. If there was a battle, he had to go to the weapons bay to get weapons as soon as possible. Fu Han took a look and saw that it was full of thermal weapons, including all kinds of firearms, RPGs, and grenades.
Fu Han smiled, these dolphins are really powerful, and they can lead people to eliminate their natural enemies!
The advantage of having fewer people is obvious: more money! The disadvantage of having fewer people is also obvious, that is, it is easy to lose one's life.
…
"Hahahaha!" Tang Yunfan laughed: "Don't say it in front of him!"
Lao Wu's ability is quite outstanding. He is a fusion beast master. Contracted with a dolphin and a sea owl, you can dive into the sea to listen to the conditions in the sea, and fly into the sky to look into the distance. They are the ears and eyes of the Vermilion.
"Then if we don't catch sharks and wolves, wouldn't they be very disappointed?"
Just now, he had merged with the dolphins and jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, Fu Han didn't recognize him after searching for a long time.
"Then don't betray me!"
Lao Shi pointed to the weapons bay again and asked: "Do you think your gun is faster within ten steps, or mine?"
Fu Han did as he was told, and saw a pod of dolphins piloting the boat. They swam at high speed in front of the ship and jumped out of the sea screaming, seemingly very happy.
I just hope they don't try it themselves... After all, when practicing Dragon Spear, Fu Han is used to attacking the weak points. It would be better not to let Fu Han become the sixteenth child all of a sudden.
After saying that, Lao Shi locked the weapons bay door and left in a hurry. Fu Han saw him whispering to many people and pointing at him. Fu Han felt that it wouldn't be long before they would come to test his strength.
Lao Shi frowned and said, "What weapon do you use?"
Tang Yunfan might know how Fu Han would feel. She specifically told Fu Han to go to the bow of the ship and look below for a surprise.
Fu Han smiled and said, "I'm the fastest even ten steps away!"
Tang Yunfan said: "Because shark wolves will prey on dolphins!"
"Gun! Spear..."
Fu Han quickly leaned out to check, but could not find Lao Wu.
This is what Fu Han didn't learn in the academy. He asked: "Why?"
Tang Yunfan said that these dolphins will take the ships out to sea to find sharks and wolves. When necessary, they will help the shark fishermen block the retreat of the shark wolves. They are natural hunting dogs in the sea!
"It's the one at the front!"
For a ship with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, a crew of seventeen is actually unnecessary. But for a ship taking the southern channel, seventeen crew members was pitifully small.
With that said, Tang Yunfan pointed in the direction of Lao Wu. But Fu Han only saw a vague shadow jumping into the sea with a "pop".
Lao Shi raised his eyebrows and realized that things were not that simple, so he said, "Then cover me!"
"No, no."
Of course, the right person is the most important thing. One hundred rabble cannot be used as thirty Zhuge Liang. And the sixteen people on board the Vermilion are all outstanding. Counting Fu Han, there are ten beast masters! A ratio of over 50% is quite high!
Fu Han looked in the direction Tang Yunfan pointed, and sure enough he saw a big, ugly dolphin with hair, leading other dolphins to swim to the west.
Fu Han suddenly frowned: "Is it so ugly?!"
"Yes..." Tang Yunfan said, "But Fifth Brother will tell them."
After 40 minutes of sailing, Fu Han could no longer see the rusty dragon coiled on the sea. No matter which direction you look on the boat, you can see the endless sea. This feeling really makes people feel inexplicably panicked.
By the time Fu Han had finished visiting the Vermilion, the ship had already set sail.
Of course Fu Han couldn't use it. He said, "I'm used to using cold weapons."
Fortunately, there were many reliable crew members on the ship. They chatted and laughed as usual, which gave Fu Han great confidence and alleviated the panic caused by not being able to see the land.
Just when the two were chatting happily, they heard a stern voice: "It seems that Old Seventeen is quite adaptable to sailing and doesn't get seasick. Then start learning to be on duty early... Follow me." "
