Chapter 728

Although the pirate industry became extremely prosperous because of robbing the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty and other countries. Although all countries secretly support pirates and sell stolen goods for them, they are still a drop in the bucket compared with the huge profits of the Tang people. All countries are not satisfied with the fact that the Tang people controlled the routes and formulated the price rules, but they did not have the courage to fight. Because the thousands of warships operating in the Mediterranean alone are daunting. Nevertheless, faced with such enviable overseas trade, the governments of various countries also wanted to open up a new route to the East, so as to break the monopoly of the Tang people.

As a result, countries on the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the British Isles, even Morocco and Italy in North Africa, have begun a road of foreign exploration. With a lot of money and profits, they recruited navigators for long-distance exploration and opened up a new route to the East.

Stimulated by a lot of money and official titles, many self conceited, skillful and ambitious navigators have come to the palaces of various countries. They talk endlessly in front of the throne of the monarchs of various countries, talking about their own expertise and the materials and personnel they need to carry. At the same time, they are required to build new long-distance ships for their exploration. And the countries that are interested in the huge profits of overseas trade have agreed to the requirements of these navigators, choosing the best quality wood to build new ships for long-distance navigation, and at the same time wrapping a layer of copper plate on the bottom of the ship. Thanks to sharing part of Suez's interests, European countries are obviously richer in parallel time and space, and their technology has also been greatly improved.

These navigators won the support of the government, and then selected high-quality crew members with good martial arts skills to drive their new ships overseas to explore new routes.

They will not go to the Mediterranean, let alone through the Suez Canal in the provinces of Tang Egypt, but take the Atlantic route to explore. These navigators set out to explore the sea route with ambition, expectation of high-ranking official titles and yearning dreams. However, it is extremely difficult to sail in the open sea, especially in the Atlantic Ocean, where storms are frequent and dangerous. After they go to sea, they have to face the threat from the sea and the limited supply of materials. But also to endure the pressure from the physical and mental test.

However, these navigators who dare to explore the unknown are different from ordinary people. The same is true of the crew they personally selected. They have been sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, drawing and surveying charts along the way, recording hydrological and other information, as an important reference condition. If there is no accident, these overseas explorers will eventually arrive in the new world, which was later named "americana.". However, it is a pity that the history of the world has changed a lot, which is different from the history derived from parallel time and space. The explorers met with rare waves in the Atlantic Ocean, and the ships were in danger of capsizing at any time.

Rough sea, wind and waves, as if a sea giant in anger. Its fiery temper makes the sea change color. The rolling waves are like the palm of the sea giant, trying to overturn the small insects on its body.

"Captain, it's too stormy. What should we do?" The first mate Smith stumbled all the way, holding the ship's things in his hand, and walked to the poop with difficulty, yelling to captain Garrett. At the moment of the storm, his voice was almost covered even by roaring.

"Fasten the rope, take care of the sails, and tell everyone to stick to it and pay attention to your safety. The wind and waves will pass. We must hold on. As long as we hold on to this storm, we will be safe. "

"Yes Chief officer Smith also understood that it was in vain for him to ask the captain what to do in such a storm. Because of human power, compared with the nature in the rage, it is too small. Asking the captain is just a psychological comfort. He began to tell the crew to repeat what the captain had just said.

Whoosh, whoosh!

"The cable is broken!"

The rope that fastens the surface of the sail will inevitably break under the impact of the strong wind. The breaking of the rope also makes the bulging sail incline towards the side, and the course of the ship begins to shift. The captain was so surprised that he yelled at the sailors to fasten the rope again, but the broken rope was like a snake, and the wind gave it great strength. One of the crew members couldn't take precautions against being hit by the rope. His body was like being hit by a high-speed truck in a flash. His body was more than 100 Jin, flying in the air like a feather, and then fell into the vast sea. Whether the captain or the crew saw this scene, they all knew that the crew had no chance of survival.

Pop, whoosh.

Nightmares seem to come one after another. Since the first rope broke, several more ropes broke one after another. With the scene just now, the sailors were naturally very careful and doubly wary of these ropes endowed with power by the strong wind. They tried their best to fix the broken rope again, but the rope, which was endowed with kinetic energy by the wind, flew and collided in the air, and the sailors could not grasp the rope at all. And the deviation of sails also caused the ships to deviate from their established routes.

"Whirlpool, whirlpool!"

"What!!"

Captain Garrett heard the cry of the sailor's panic, and immediately went to the poop. He took out his spectacles and looked at the sea in the distance. Just in front of their voyage, there was a huge sea whirlpool blocking their way.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, turn the rudder in a fuckin 'emergency!" Agallite roared in horror. Once they met such a huge sea whirlpool, their ship's chance of survival was zero. He roared and ran quickly to control the ship himself, trying to avoid the sea whirlpool ahead. However, the tilt of the sail and the breaking of the rope made it extremely difficult for him to turn the boat. At the same time, the constant impact of strong winds and waves makes the control and driving of ships more difficult. At this time, a souring sound and the inclination of a significant shadow made him look at the mast. It was leaning, but before she could speak, the mast began to break!

"It's over!"

He sails all the year round and naturally knows what it means if the mast breaks. If it is in a calm time, there is time to repair, even if it is a small storm, he can also make the crew carry out emergency repair. However, this is a raging ocean, and at this time is happening once in a hundred years of big waves, it is impossible to give him a little time for emergency repair!

At the last glance, agallite saw the boat under his feet, pushed into the Sea vortex by the wind and waves. Then, with a whirl of heaven and the screams of the crew, he looked to both sides and clearly saw that the ship was dragged in by the sea whirlpool and gradually swallowed up. In front of his eyes, a burst of darkness came, and agallite was no longer conscious.
