Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Zhu Han smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with praise for the crew: "Mr. Wang is right. On the sea, we not only have to face the test of nature, but also rely on each other's strength to overcome all difficulties together. Every crisis is a test of our team spirit."

At this time, General Li also stepped forward, his voice filled with excitement: "Your Highness, when we were avoiding the iceberg just now, I deeply felt the determination and fearlessness in the hearts of every crew member. With such a team, we will be able to overcome everything and complete the mission of this voyage."

Zhu Han nodded in agreement. He turned to look at Mr. Wang and asked, "Mr. Wang, how do we plan our next voyage? Is there anything that needs special attention?"

Mr. Wang pondered for a moment, took out the nautical chart and examined it carefully before answering, "Your Majesty, according to the latest weather forecast, the sea will be relatively calm tomorrow, which is suitable for faster sailing. But we also need to be careful. There are often reefs in this area, so we need to strengthen our lookout to ensure safe sailing."

Zhu Han nodded to show his understanding, and then turned to General Li: "General Li, you need to strengthen patrols to ensure that every ship can avoid the reefs. At the same time, you must also remind the crew to remain vigilant and not let their guard down just because the sea is calm."

General Li took the order and quickly organized a patrol team to ensure navigation safety. Zhu Han continued to discuss navigation strategies with Mr. Wang. The two of them sometimes looked down at the charts and sometimes looked up into the distance, their eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation for the unknown sea.

As night fell, the stars dotted the deep sky, and the fleet slowly sailed into a peaceful sea. The crew members returned to their cabins to rest, leaving only Zhu Han and Mr. Wang on the deck. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of coolness.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think we can gain from this voyage?" Zhu Han suddenly asked, with a hint of thought in his tone.

Mr. Wang's eyes sparkled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, on this trip we not only explored unknown waters, but more importantly, we strengthened the collaboration and trust among the team. Such experience will be a valuable asset for future voyages and even national governance."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with determination and expectation for the future. The sea breeze continued to blow, and the fleet slowly moved forward in this peaceful sea.
When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the sea, the fleet had already entered new waters.

"Pass the order down, move forward at full speed, and let us continue to uncover the mystery of this sea area." Zhu Han's voice echoed on the deck, full of firmness and determination.

Hearing this, the crew members cheered up and got busy, preparing to move forward at full speed. As the fleet gradually accelerated, waves rose on the sea.

As the fleet accelerated forward, the scenery on the sea was beautiful, but Zhu Han couldn't help but worry about the problem of resource supply. Long-term ocean voyages consume a lot of food, fresh water and fuel, especially in remote waters far away from land, where supply becomes particularly difficult.

Zhu Han turned to Mr. Wang, who was in charge of logistics, and said, "Mr. Wang, we are about to enter a more remote sea area. Resource supply will be a severe challenge. You need to prepare in advance and ensure that we have enough reserves to deal with possible difficulties."

Mr. Wang nodded solemnly and replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have planned the supply strategy in advance. We carry enough fresh water and food reserves for three months. We also have seawater desalination equipment on board to deal with emergencies. As for fuel, we have tried to load it as full as possible and have prepared extra fuel barrels in case of emergency."

Zhu Han nodded slightly, but his frown was not completely relaxed: "Very good, but we still need to consider the longer-term situation. If we encounter extreme weather or route changes, these reserves may still be insufficient. Do you have any further plans?"

Mr. Wang paused for a moment and continued, "I have indeed considered this. We plan to stop at some suitable islands and use local resources for temporary replenishment. For example, we can fish and collect seaweed to make food, and use solar and wind energy for charging and heating to reduce dependence on traditional fuels."

Zhu Han heard this and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "This is a great plan. Being self-sufficient can ensure that we can continue sailing under any circumstances. You need to make arrangements immediately and ensure that every crew member has mastered these survival skills."

Mr. Wang took the order and started to prepare for relevant training and material deployment. Zhu Han continued to stand on the deck, staring at the unknown sea in the distance, with both expectations and worries in his heart.

Soon after, General Li also came to the deck. He looked at the busy crew and said to Zhu Han: "Your Majesty, I have increased patrols to ensure that we can find and avoid reefs in time. But I am also worried that if we cannot resupply for a long time, the physical strength and morale of the crew may be affected."

Zhu Han nodded to show his understanding. "General Li is right. Long-term life at sea will indeed cause considerable pressure on the crew. We must take measures to maintain their physical and mental health."

He thought for a moment and continued, "In addition to strengthening exercise and rest, we can also enrich the spiritual life of the crew by holding some cultural activities. For example, we can organize poetry recitations, music performances, etc., so that everyone can find a little relaxation and fun during the tense voyage."

General Li heard this and his eyes sparkled. "Your Highness is wise. These activities can not only relieve the pressure on the crew, but also enhance the cohesion of the team. I will start making arrangements immediately."

As the voyage progressed, the fleet gradually felt the pressure of resource supply. However, with Zhu Han's careful planning and the joint efforts of Mr. Wang, General Li and others, the fleet not only successfully overcame these difficulties, but also survived tenaciously in the remote sea area through self-sufficiency.

As time went by, the fleet gradually sailed into a wider and unknown sea. Sometimes the sea was calm and sparkling, like a beautiful painting; sometimes it was stormy and turbulent, testing the will and courage of every crew member.

Zhu Han stood on the deck, gazing at the boundless sea in the distance, his heart filled with curiosity and awe of the unknown world. He turned to Mr. Wang beside him and said, "Mr. Wang, we have been deep in unknown waters for many days. Although we can be self-sufficient in supplies, what is the psychological state of the crew? We need to pay more attention."

Mr. Wang nodded slightly and replied solemnly: "Your Highness is right. After a long period of drifting on the sea, coupled with the fear and curiosity of the unknown, the psychological state of the crew does need careful care. Zhu Han felt relieved when he heard this, but his brows were still furrowed: "Even so, we still need to act with caution. There are many unknown factors in this sea area, and any negligence may bring disaster. General Li, patrols and vigilance work cannot be relaxed."

Hearing this, General Li stepped forward, bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have increased patrols to ensure that we are always aware of the dynamics of the surrounding waters. At the same time, we have also strengthened the emergency drills of the crew to ensure that they can respond quickly in an emergency and ensure the safety of the delegation."

Zhu Han nodded slightly and looked into the distance again: "Very good, we must be brave to explore the unknown, but also be cautious to ensure that nothing goes wrong. This trip is of great significance. It is not only related to the friendly exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and other countries, but also to the maritime prestige and strength of our dynasty."

Mr. Wang took over the conversation and continued, "Your Highness is right. This trip is not only to explore the sea, but also to demonstrate the navigation technology and national strength of the Ming Dynasty. I have ordered people to record in detail what they saw and heard during the voyage, including the topography of the sea, climate change, biological species, etc., so that they can be compiled into a book after returning home for future reference."

Zhu Han heard this and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "This is a very good move. Knowledge is the foundation of a country, and recording and inheritance are of vital importance. We must not only explore the unknown, but also transform what we have discovered into contributions to the country."

As the three were talking, a navigator came running over with an excited look on his face: "Your Majesty, we have discovered a strange sight in the sea ahead! It seems that there are large marine creatures moving around. Please make a decision quickly!"

Zhu Han was invigorated upon hearing this, and immediately took the telescope handed over by the navigator and carefully observed the sea ahead. In the distance, a group of huge whales were jumping out of the sea, stirring up layers of waves, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

He put down the telescope and said to everyone, "This is a rare natural wonder. Pass the order on to all ships to slow down and keep their distance to avoid disturbing these creatures. At the same time, order the painter to record this scene as a precious memory of our voyage."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang and General Li immediately went to make arrangements. The crew members also stopped their work and rushed to the deck, marveling at the sudden natural beauty. Zhu Han stood among the crowd, looking at the spectacular scene in front of him, his heart filled with awe and gratitude for nature.

As the whales gradually moved away, the sea surface returned to calm. Zhu Han collected his thoughts and said to the people around him: "Let's continue moving forward. There may be more unknowns and challenges waiting for us ahead."

As the voyage progressed, the long hours of life at sea gradually took a toll on the crew's physical and mental health. Zhu Han stood on the deck, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, his brows furrowed, his heart full of worry. He turned to Mr. Wang beside him and said, "Mr. Wang, in recent days, I have found that many crew members have symptoms of seasickness and malnutrition, which is extremely detrimental to our voyage. We need to take immediate measures to improve their health."

Mr. Wang nodded solemnly upon hearing this. "Your Majesty is right. The long-term drifting at sea has indeed caused considerable physical and mental stress on the crew. I have already prepared some countermeasures, but I still need your instructions."

Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to strengthen the diet management of the crew to ensure that they get enough nutrition. You need to immediately check the food reserves on the ship, adjust the diet structure, and increase foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and fish."

Mr. Wang responded respectfully: "I will immediately arrange for the kitchen to increase the planting of vegetables and the catching of marine fish, and at the same time strengthen the food storage and preservation work to ensure the freshness and safety of the food."

Zhu Han nodded slightly and continued, "Secondly, we need to provide effective relief measures for seasick crew members. You can send people to collect some traditional seasickness herbs, such as ginger, mint, etc., and make them into teas or ointments for the crew members to use."

Mr. Wang recorded Zhu Han's instructions and added: "In addition, I also plan to increase entertainment activities on the ship, such as organizing chess and card games, story sharing sessions, etc., to distract the crew and reduce the discomfort of seasickness."

Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to General Li standing beside him: "General Li, in addition to logistical supplies and health management, the physical training of the crew cannot be neglected. Long-term sailing may cause their physical fitness to decline, which poses a threat to our safety."

General Li's expression became more focused after hearing this. He pondered for a moment and suggested to Zhu Han, "Your Highness is right. Physical training does require detailed planning. I think we can first conduct a comprehensive physical fitness assessment of all crew members and formulate a personalized training plan based on the assessment results."

Zhu Han nodded in agreement. "General Li is right. Physical fitness assessment is the basis for formulating a reasonable training plan. You need to organize a dedicated person to keep detailed records of the age, physical fitness, and health status of each crew member to ensure the pertinence and effectiveness of the training plan."

Mr Wang also added: “During the assessment process, we also need to pay special attention to crew members who suffer from severe seasickness. Their physical condition may be more vulnerable, and the training plan should be adjusted accordingly to avoid aggravating their discomfort.”

Zhu Han nodded slightly, his eyes revealing his deep concern for the health of the crew members: "Indeed, we cannot let any crew member fall behind. Mr. Wang, you need to work closely with the kitchen to provide sufficient nutritional supplements for the crew members participating in the training to ensure that they can recover in time after the training."

General Li continued, "Your Highness, regarding the content of the training, I suggest that the physical training be divided into two parts: basic physical training and professional skills training. Basic physical training includes running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc., which aims to improve the overall physical fitness of the crew; while professional skills training targets the actual needs of sailing, such as climbing, rope operations, etc., to enhance the actual combat capabilities of the crew."

Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction and further emphasized: "Very good, the training plan should not only be comprehensive but also flexible. We should adjust the intensity and content of training in a timely manner according to the weather, sea conditions and real-time feedback from the crew to ensure the scientific nature and safety of the training."

Mr. Wang thought about it and made another suggestion: "Your Majesty, in order to stimulate the crew's enthusiasm for training, we can set up some reward mechanisms. For example, for crew members who perform well in physical training, we can give them extra food quotas, rest time or other forms of recognition." (End of this chapter)
