Chapter 583: 358
Chu Mingcheng first secured the back foot of the main central sail to the low guardrails on both sides of the ship’s hull, and then fixed the rear corner of the storm foresail directly in front of the mast.
No sooner had the sails been set than the Hei Yao, originally rolling and listing to one side, instantly regained its balance.
Because the center of force of the foresail was located on the ship’s transverse resistance centerline, it could maintain balance.
As both sails were hoisted, the speed of the Hei Yao soared from its original ten knots to over forty in an instant.
Finally, Chu Mingcheng made his way to the bow, took hold of the ropes that adjusted the direction of the foresail, one in each hand, and started to adjust the angle to navigate the Hei Yao through calmer waves.
At this moment, he had entered Sea God mode since the operation was at least a two-person job.
The resistance from the wind was tremendous, and without enough strength, it was impossible to adjust the direction.
Furthermore, Chu Mingcheng lacked enough experience in navigation; despite his efforts to adjust, the Hei Yao still couldn’t completely escape the towering giant waves.
The waves occasionally smashed against him, and even in Sea God mode, it hurt considerably.
That’s why he hadn’t sailed this way before; now, there was no other choice.
This scene made Jiang Luoluo’s heart clench, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Fortunately, his ability to learn was quick, and after operating for a few minutes, he became much more familiar with the process, and their direction steered them away from the storm’s center.
Driven by the wind, the Hei Yao raced across the ocean, and in just ten minutes, they had distanced themselves from danger.
The waves around them had decreased from over ten meters to five or six, and although the ship still rocked severely, it was no longer dangerous.
What do you think?
