Chapter 814: The Captain's Diary "Medium"
The dangerous encounter in the storm made everyone's minds tense. Fortunately, this scene passed quickly. They endured a lot of hard work, and finally waited until the rain passed and the sky cleared. The storm receded, and the warm sun rose again, and under the warm rays of the sun, the bad weather was gone forever. Everyone's tense minds relaxed in an instant, and then the carnival at noon began, which was both relaxing and buying people's hearts.
As for the white man from Europe, Aleister didn't realize that he was only one step away from death. He is now with the Tang Dynasty sailors, enjoying the carnival. Great food and plenty of drinks! There is liquor, beer and rum, but expensive red wine can only be enjoyed by the captain and a few non-commissioned officers. They had lunch in the lounge of the captain Li Donglin. There were only 300 people on the huge ship, and there were only some livestock brought on board.
After the carnival banquet at noon, captain Li Donglin led the non-commissioned officers and a few elite officers and soldiers, and began to patrol the ship. The only ship, the only home and shelter for all of them. Li Donglin was not at all worried about the inspections by his subordinates. Every day, he personally led the naval sergeants to thoroughly inspect the entire ship. Only in this way, he will return to his cabin to rest in peace.
He led the non-commissioned officers to walk everywhere on the ship, looking at the sailors who fell asleep because of the carnival at noon, and looked at their strange sleeping postures. Li Donglin shook his head helplessly, and asked the officers and soldiers behind him to cover the sleeping sailors with blankets. Sailing at sea is no better than land. In case of illness, it is very troublesome and the death rate is frighteningly high. And his main job is to make sure no one gets sick, even in minor ailments. Because of the bumps along the way, the sailors who only needed a good rest to recover would become ill at home. He has served in the navy for many years, and he already knows these things, and the country has specially compiled the regulations and countermeasures that need to be paid attention to when sailing. Among them, the problem of illness is depicted by a huge red line, and the most precious and important ones are ranked first.
As an excellent soldier, Li Donglin is very clear about what his mission is. Therefore, he pays special attention to this aspect. After checking the status of the sailors one by one, Li Donglin summoned the medical officer and apprentices to check the bodies of the sleeping sailors. And ordered the kitchen to boil a pot of clear soup for the sailors to eat after they woke up.
This scene was clearly seen by Aleister, a white European, and he said with envy and jealousy: "In any country in Europe, except you, no other country will treat sailors like you. So caring."
"We are both subordinates and brothers!" Li Donglin said flatly, "We shoulder the mission entrusted by the emperor and the expectations of the people. Since I have undertaken this expedition mission." He pointed to the sleeping sailor , "Their relatives handed over their son and husband to me, and I have the responsibility to take them to complete the task and lead them home safely!"
"Captain, we will succeed. Although the journey is long, I believe we will return home safely. Reap the honor that belongs to us!" Aleister flattered.
Li Donglin didn't answer, and then he found an excuse to let Aleister go back to rest. Afterwards, he led the non-commissioned officers to continue to inspect the entire ship. They carefully inspected every inch of the ship's planks to make sure that there were no shipworms parasitizing them. As for the barnacles that may be attached to the bottom of the boat, because the bottom of the boat is covered with a layer of copper plates, Li Donglin will not be worried for a while. Afterwards, he carefully inspected every part of the ship, ordered people to clean up the dark ship, and sprinkled a layer of lime powder for disinfection. Afterwards, Li Donglin returned to the captain's cabin, came to a secret compartment, and opened a secret door.
What appeared in his eyes was an incomparably huge room!
The room was divided by numerous wooden shelves, on which were piled sacks of flour, rice, wine, and quantities of cured bacon. In addition, there are a lot of gold, silver and precious stones. These are all currencies used to trade with local savages or foreign civilizations after finding the New World.
"Thanks to the assistance of the wizards in this country, otherwise, this ship can only carry two hundred people at most." Li Donglin said in admiration. Even after watching it many times, he was still extremely shocked. Who could have imagined that in a tiny compartment of the captain's cabin, there could be something extravagant? The food stored here is specially prepared to prevent accidents. After all, when sailing at sea, no one knows what will appear. Therefore, the country specially invited the wizards from the Green Emerald Academy to cast a permanent traceless stretching spell on the ship to expand the space here. Stack food and gold and silver to make sure nothing happens.
This can be regarded as a secret grain storage cave. Besides this, there is also a huge amount of grain piled up in the grain depot in the ship's galley. The daily food and drink are provided there, and the food and drinks in his captain's room are just for emergency measures. Every day, personal drinking water must be managed and distributed by the orderly officer, after all, this is no better than land. In the vast sea, there is nothing to add! In addition, as fresh water deteriorates over time, beans are sprinkled in each bucket to allow them to germinate and become the ship's fresh vegetable supply. In addition to these, the necessary fruits for navigation are also prepared, and those frozen in the ice cellar ensure that the crew can eat fresh fruits every three days.
As for why he did this, Li Donglin didn't know. All he knew was that it was required by the country, and it was said that sailing on the sea could effectively prevent sepsis. In fact, over hundreds of years, this thing has also been confirmed. In European countries, sepsis, which is high, has become extremely rare in Tang people. What's more, other countries don't have such convenient conditions as the Tang people, and their national power is not as good as the huge national power accumulated by the Tang people for hundreds of years. There are even a group of wizards who specialize in training wizards to serve the country shortly after the founding of the country. Because of this, they can integrate all their strength to configure such luxurious man-made conditions for a sea ship.
After taking a look at the huge grain storage cave, Li Donglin closed the door and pressed a mechanism to hide the compartment. Afterwards, he returned to his office area and began to write in his nautical diary. Afterwards, after simply cleaning up the body with a small amount of water, she took off her clothes and lay down on the bed to sleep peacefully.
What he didn't know was that there was a group of dark shadows quietly following them in the bottom of the sea.
The next morning, Li Donglin got up naturally. The carnival at noon yesterday made the whole ship go crazy except for those who stayed on duty. They slept for a whole day and didn't fully wake up until the next day. After Li Donglin found out, he felt a little regretful, but considering that he didn't do anything and slept until the next day, it was only natural that the sailors were so exhausted after fighting the storm all night. However, there were things he had to say that he had to say. Because he clearly knew that the sailors could be presumptuous, but he was the only one who couldn't. This is not on the territory of our own country, this is the vast ocean, and danger is everywhere. Even after sailing for several months, they did not encounter other dangers except the storm, but this does not mean that the danger does not exist.
As a soldier, he felt sensitively that in this seemingly calm sea, danger was actually lurking in the dark.
