Godly Fisherman

Chapter 417: Warm-up

Xiao Peng drove the sailboat and returned to Qianliyan with excitement on his face. In a few days, it was autumn in the northern hemisphere, the most suitable time for sailing to challenge. Xiao Peng has decided, and after he is ready, he will challenge to cross the Pacific Ocean! And, like Guo Chuan, challenge yourself!

Isn't it more than 11 thousand kilometers? It is more than six thousand nautical miles in total. You know, this hundred-foot super sailing boat can reach a maximum speed of 37 knots, which is close to 70 kilometers per hour, and can drive more than 400 nautical miles per day on average. Because of this, Guo Chuan had the courage to raise the world record to 15 days! You know, the original world record was 21 days. In theory alone, this ship can sail nearly 900 nautical miles a day, crossing the Pacific Ocean can be completed in seven days, of course, this requires the crew to stay up for 24 hours, plus always maintain the fastest speed. . Fortunately for the former, if more crew members can keep on duty, as for the latter, don't even think about it. It requires the cooperation of wind, ocean currents, and weather.

But Xiao Peng doesn’t worry about this. We don’t count weather and wind, but ocean currents? As for not sleeping, it's even simpler. For Xiao Peng who practices witchcraft, it's not a big deal for ten days.

However, crossing the Pacific Ocean is a major event after all. A lot of preparations need to be done. First, the ship must be rectified.

The super trimaran given by Bloomberg to Xiao Peng obviously strengthened the comfort, which greatly affected the speed of the ship, but Xiao Peng didn’t want to modify it in this respect. Is it okay to live uncomfortably? However, there is no BGAN system on the ship, and it must be installed. In the vast ocean, it would be boring without the network.

"Hey, why are you so happy? Why are you smiling so much from ear to ear?" Yang Meng asked Xiao Peng who looked at Xiao Peng with a smirk after helping Xiao Peng stop the sailing boat.

Xiao Peng said cheerfully: "I have decided. I will sail across the Pacific in a sailboat. I will fulfill Guo Chuan's last wish."

"Oh." Yang Meng was expressionless, still tied the cable.

Xiao Peng puzzled: "Why are you not surprised? A little reaction, OK?"

Yang Meng glanced at him disgustingly: "If this sailboat was mine, I would have crossed the Pacific a long time ago, so it's your turn?"

"Uh..." Xiao Peng was so shocked by Yang Meng that he couldn't speak.

Yang Meng asked, "When do you plan to leave? What preparations should I make?"

Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Tomorrow you will help me transport the ship to Lao Gao, the shipyard, and ask them to install the BGAN system for me, and purchase more vacuum dehydrated food. At the same time, go to the marine surveillance to register the sailing ship, and call it "Guo Chuan", go to the Sports Bureau again, tell them our sailing plan, let them help us contact the International Sailing Federation, and confirm it when I sail. Don't break the world record and no one will admit it."

"No problem, leave it to me. By the way, whoever decided to take this time?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I plan to go alone this time to pay tribute to Guo Chuan."

"Are you alone?" Yang Meng was stunned: "No, no, it's too dangerous, don't sacrifice halfway like Guo Chuan."

Xiao Peng said, "If you are not alone, what is the point of this trip? I have already decided, so let's do it."

Yang Meng curled his lips: "Do you think Mom and Dad know that they can let you go?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "So this voyage must be concealed from them, as long as you know and I know about it, and when they know, I will have completed this challenge."

After listening, Yang Meng thought for a while and said with a serious face: "If you really want to go by yourself, it's not impossible. Remember one thing before you leave."

"What?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.

"Remember to write the will before leaving, and write me in the name of the beneficiary." Yang Meng replied with a serious face.

"I'm fighting with your kid!"

. . . . . . .

However, the joke was a joke, Yang Meng was unambiguous to get the business done, and he got everything done in a few days. The sailing time was set for October 15th, and there were close to twenty days left. Xiao Peng has been acquainted with this super sailing boat constantly during this time. After all, a one-hundred-foot super trimaran, with a length of 30 meters, a width of 16 meters, and a mast of 32 meters, is really too difficult for a person to operate this ship well.

Needless to say, there are only three fore sails. Different fore sails are used according to the magnitude of the wind and the direction of the wind. If they are used incorrectly, the speed of the route will be greatly affected. There is also a big headsail, which can only be used when needed, not to mention the main sail. The 30-meter big sail must be carefully kept and used. This is the only power for the entire ship!

The sail adjustment depends on a winch. In different weather, the speed of raising and lowering sails can have a great impact on the ship! The most important thing is to learn to use rope! In the sailing of a sailboat, ropes are needed to change the shape of the sails to adapt to the sea wind and increase the speed of the ship! It can be said that on a sailboat, nothing is okay, and the rope cannot be without!

All of this requires Xiao Peng to learn and familiarize a lot. Every day, Xiao Peng spends his time looking up information, planning navigation channels, and being familiar with hydrology.

Just when everything was going on tense and orderly, a call made Xiao Peng stop working.

The call was made by my dad, but there was nothing serious about it. The National Day came and the old couple decided to go out for a long vacation.

This is a good thing, and Xiao Peng naturally supports it. But the children were also on vacation and no one watched.

Xiao Peng thought for a while. Mom and Dad have gone out to play, don't be idle and take the children to travel together.

Yep. Where should I go?

. . . . . .

"Mengzi, are you all ready?" Xiao Peng asked.

Yang Meng complained: "Everything you want me to prepare is ready, but I really don't understand. Since it's good to go abroad to play, why do you have to take the children to Xi'an?"

Xiao Peng said: "What do you know, Xi'an is the ancient capital of China in the 13 dynasties! Do you think the title of the'Emperor Capital since ancient times' came in vain? That is the first of the four ancient capitals of China! It is the capital dynasty in the history of China. At most, the imperial capital has the longest history and the most influential ancient capital! That is the important birthplace of our Chinese civilization!"

"Well, I know what you said, but even in Xi'an, isn't it good for us to go by plane? We have to go for some self-driving tour. Isn't it tiring to drive? And you asked me to prepare a tent again. Food preparation, are you still camping?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "If you think about it this way, several children are from foreign countries and don’t know China at all. Although China speaks very well now, it’s not okay if you don’t understand China’s history. I’m doing patriotism for them. Education. They are all from Huaxia, and they don’t know the history of Huaxia. As for self-driving tours and camping, don’t you think children will like this? This time the key is to play with the children. Besides, you don’t want to drive. Your little tank went out to be chic and chic?"

"Hey, how old are you, why are you so childish?" Yang Meng sighed.

Xiao Peng didn't hesitate to pierce his careful thoughts: "Are you embarrassed to say me? I don't know who it is. Just knowing that I'm going for a self-driving tour, I took the car to Sidao Town by boat."

Yang Meng didn't care too much: "I'm not worried about you and the children, alas, where can I find a good brother like me."

"Okay, don't live in vain, Qian's wife will send the children to Qianliyan Hotel in a while, let's pick up the children, rest for the night, and we will leave tomorrow morning!" Xiao Peng said. "Lao Qian, Lao Pan, during our absence, the island has worked hard for you!"

When the helicopter arrived in Sidao Town, the children had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as Xiao Peng got off the helicopter, he was surrounded by children.

Looking at the happy faces of the children, Xiao Peng was also full of apologies. During the children's summer vacation, Xiao Peng went to the North Pole and did not accompany the children properly. Now that I am going to cross the Pacific again, I really don't care enough for the children.

For this reason, Xiao Peng deliberately borrowed the kitchen of Qianliyan Hotel to cook personally and cooked a delicious meal for the children.

However, the news of Xiao Peng's cooking is not known to let anyone leak out.

Everyone knows that Xiao Peng's cooking skills are great, but now Xiao Peng rarely cooks. After knowing that Xiao Peng personally cooks, he eats and drinks a lot. What Ye Yuli, Zhang Yuru, Wen Jie. . . . . . Xiao Peng even saw Feng Jianting!

"Lao Zhangren! Your cooking skills are amazing!" Feng Jianting couldn't stop his mouth even after eating.

Xiao Peng slapped his head: "Do you want to eat something special? Shut up if you want to eat it!"

Feng Jianting raised his hand and said, "Can I raise my hand and speak?"

Xiao Peng slapped the back of his head again: "Shut up honestly! Don't say anything!"

Gina hid her mouth and smiled, Xiao Peng scratched her head and stared at Feng Jianting, "You kid tell me the truth! How did you get here? Why are you here at this juncture? Do you know what?"

When Feng Jianting heard this, he shook his head quickly, bowed his head and started eating. Xiao Peng looked at Gina again: "Gina? Are you hiding something from me?"

Gina put aside her smile and lowered her head to eat, Xiao Peng sighed, Mad, this is the little pig who has come to eat cabbage. The two must be in private contact!

Xiao Peng stared at Feng Jianting: "If you don't tell the truth anymore, do you believe that I just cut off your seafood supply? Are you two in contact in private?"

Feng Jianting looked at Xiao Peng with a pitiful look: "Old father-in-law, I and Gina we occasionally communicate with WeChat..."

When Xiao Peng heard it, it really happened. Looking at Xiao Gina again, Gina was looking at Xiao Peng nervously.

"Made." Xiao Peng scolded angrily: "I bought you mobile phones and computers so that you could study hard, but you did well and started underground work? Gina! You disappointed me too much, don’t you know? How are your grades? How are you getting along with your classmates? If you don't study well, do you have a way out in the future? When it is time to study, think about studying! What messes are in your mind all day? I want to fall in love at a young age? "

Yang Meng poked Xiao Peng dumbfounded: "Xiao Peng, do you feel that these words you are saying now sound familiar?"

Xiao Peng listened for a moment: "Fuck, isn't this what my mother taught me back then? Why did I say it casually."
