a scientific pirate

Chapter 80
In the age of sailing, the aspect ratio of ordinary sailboats was often between 4 and 5, so that they looked a little "round".But the naval surveillance ship in front of Mo Fei is different. Its aspect ratio is around 7, and it looks very slender.

The three masts are exceptionally tall, and the total sail area is estimated to be between 9000 and 12000 square meters.

This type of ship looks like a high-speed sailing ship.

The only problem is the firepower. This surveillance ship has a triple turret at the bow and 4 cannons on the sides, which means it can only use up to 7 cannons in the artillery battle, and compared to the main force of the navy The artillery on the battleship and the artillery on the surveillance ship are all "small water pipes".

Mo Fei wanted something that was hard, long and thick.

But this is also normal. The main purpose of the surveillance ship is not to fight frontally. The slender ship shape, high mast and wide sail, weight reduction, etc. are all designed to run faster.If this kind of ship is filled with artillery, it would be a bit of an upside down.

After waiting for a while on the shore of the port, Afriel also came here.She was carrying a suitcase in her hand, and behind her was a very large flat weapon box, which should contain her weapons... Obviously, Afriel also considered the possibility that the mission would become a long-term mission .

To Mo Fei's surprise, when Afriel came to him, she first put down the suitcase in her hand, and then gave him a military salute.

Well, this change made Mo Fei realize that the place he was going to go next was different from the school.

He returned the military salute and said, "Warrant Officer Avril, come aboard."

As he said that, he first helped to lift Afriel's luggage, and then walked towards the warship.In terms of position, this time Mo Fei is the interim captain, and Afriel is the interim first officer, but the ranks of the two are equal.

Someone on the warship had been waiting for them, so after seeing them approaching, they immediately lowered the gangway.

The two of Mo Fei boarded the warship, and the two sailors put their feet together and straightened their bodies to salute them immediately, "Warrant Officer Elidel, Warrant Officer Avril."

After saluting, the two sailors took the luggage from Mo Fei's hand with great insight.

"Has the mission statement been received on board? We need to sail immediately."

Mo Fei asked Hai Bing, while Afriel stood quietly behind him.

"Yes, Warrant Officer Erindel, the warship is ready to depart at any time."

The commander's arrival naturally alarmed everyone on the warship, but after Mo Fei stood on the side of the ship for a while, he still didn't see anyone who should appear.

"Where is Chief Rasu Cao?"

Captain Rasu Cao, the second mate and bosun on this ship, after Mo Fei and Afriel arrived, theoretically, even if the other party didn't show up at the first time, they should rush over at the second time.

"Cao Chang... I'll be here soon."

The speaker winked at another sailor, so the other sailor left quickly and rushed into the cabin.

This situation made Mo Fei frown... Unless that Cao Chang is deaf, it is impossible for him not to hear the movement outside.

After a while, Lasu Cao Zhang came out unhurriedly, and Shi Shiran gave a military salute to Mo Fei.

This doesn't seem to be just a matter of "impoliteness".

"Warrant Officer Erindel, welcome to..."

"Lasu Cao, get ready to sail. I think we have received orders here. Next, we are going to the 558-3 sea area."

Mo Fei interrupted the other party's nonsense without hesitation.

"……Yes."

Chief Rasu Cao replied, and then went to convey the order and direct the sailors to raise the sails and set sail.

Airborne commanders like Mo Fei and Afriel have no ability to control lower-level soldiers for the time being, so the role of Rasu is very important.

"Warrant Officer Elidel, Warrant Officer Afriel, please follow me."

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly awkward, the sailor took Mo Fei and the two into the cabin first.

The commander's rest room is naturally different from that of ordinary sailors. It can barely be regarded as one room and one bathroom. Mo Fei put down his luggage in his room, and then went straight to the command room.

After a while, the surveillance ship slowly left Marin Fando.

Although Mo Fei's academic performance in the Naval Academy was mediocre, he still learned the basics, including sailing methods, ship control, speed estimation and so on.

So after three hours, when Mo Fei walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to observe the situation, he immediately found something wrong, and then he called Mr. Lasu Cao to his side.

"Captain Rasu Cao, there is a problem with the angle of attack of the sail, the sail is not full of wind, and our speed is not enough... If this is the case, there is no way for this ship to reach the mission area tomorrow."

"Warrant Officer Erindel, you didn't know it when you boarded the ship for the first time. There is a problem with the design of this type of surveillance ship. The sails are too high. If it is full of wind, there is a risk of capsizing... In fact, it is already a ship. Our maximum speed is reached." Lasu Cao explained with a smile.

Mo Fei nodded, "Okay, I understand...the designer who designed this boat should really be shot to death."

Then he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Lasu's words... are really thinking that Mo Fei is mentally retarded. First, the navy's surveillance ship can't be as fast as it is now. Second, he doesn't believe that a sailboat full of wind will capsize so easily. It's impossible. Wouldn't it be okay to put a few more stones in the bilge?
Lasu Cao showed an expression of "it's good that you can understand", and then turned around and left without Mo Fei's permission.

However, after he took a few steps forward, he suddenly felt something jerk his shoulder clothes, and then he was top-heavy and plunged into the sea.

"save……"

After finally struggling to get out of the water, Lasu just wanted to ask for help, but he saw the young man standing by the side of the boat pointing a black pipe at him.

then……

boom!
The muzzle flames filled his field of vision.

Mo Fei retracted the pistol, still staring at the sea coldly, and at the same time he said to Afriel behind him:
"Records, 3 hours into the voyage, Lasu Caochang unfortunately fell into the sea.

Later, it was besieged by sharks. Although the boat tried its best to kill the sharks, the trace of Rasu Caochang was still hidden in the waves. The ship was not allowed to dock due to important missions. I hope the headquarters can send follow-up rescue ships. "

Mo Fei is too lazy to care about what reason Cao Zhang is doing and what tricks he is doing. He only knows that he is going to face the Four Emperors next.

Why is it a strange talk to "go down against the top" in the army?Because if "up" wants to deal with "down", it is not "gram" at all.

Since the middle command layer on the ship is unwilling to play a role or even obstructs it, the way to deal with this kind of thing is very simple...just remove the middle layer.
