Chapter 19 The Storm
The west wind blew the sails, and the Typhoon and Agdalas sailed one by one, and the bow plowed the sparkling sea, leaving white foam marks on the stern.
On the front deck of Typhoon, Rayvon was teaching Xiaolong Moont to speak.
"You! Mu...En...Te! Come and say it once."
"Um...um!"
"No! It's Mu...en...te!"
"Um!"
"No!"
"You're too impatient. Even if Dragon can speak, you won't learn so quickly, right?" Daim couldn't help but speak as he watched Lei Feng perform futile behavior again and again.
"That's why I have to teach you." Lei Feng said, and continued to lower his head and teach Muente to speak. Daim squatted down and carefully observed Xiaolong.
“It grows so fast.”
"That's for sure, this guy will eat, sleep, and eat." Lei Feng patted Xiaolong Muent's head, and Muent shook his hand unhappily.
"What a magical creature." Daim sighed, then lowered his head to tease Muente.
"He! Lei Feng! Lei... Feng!" Daim pointed at Lei Feng and told Muente that Xiaolong stared at him with golden eyes. Then he turned his eyes to Lei Feng.
"Feng Feng!" It suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Lei Feng!
"What did it just say!?" Lei Feng's eyes turned around Daim and Xiaolong in disbelief.
"It seems to be called... Feng Feng?" Daim was a little confused. At this time, Xiaolong shouted loudly and vaguely again.
"Feng Feng!"
"Speak!" Lei Feng was extremely surprised and couldn't help but shout. Daim was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Feng Feng...?Feng Feng? Hahaha..."
"What are you laughing at?? It's talking!" Lei Feng stared at Daim in dissatisfaction. Daim held back his smile and waved his hand and said, "Nothing is nothing...hahaha..."
When Daim couldn't help laughing at the thought of this murderous guy being called a funny name like "Feng Feng".
"Feng Feng! Feng Feng!" Muente shouted happily, and now Lei Feng understood. He stared at Muente depressedly and patiently said:
"Not Feng Feng! It's Lei Feng! Lei-Feng!"
"Feng Feng!"
"Not Feng Feng!"
Just as Rayvon tried to correct Muente's pronunciation, chef Rochul came to the deck.
"What are you talking about? Second Lieutenant?"
"Sir Chef? It's nothing, is it time to feed?"
When Lei Feng saw the chef holding a copper basin, there were chopped pork meat in the copper basin. When he smelled the food, Moonte immediately left Lei Feng and rushed over.
"That's right."
The chef quickly placed the copper basin on the deck while saying that, but he didn't expect Muente's sharp claws to accidentally hurt. Muente grabbed the basin and swallowed it voraciously. The chef said to Lei Feng.
"Second Lieutenant, our fresh meat reserve is only enough for it to eat twice, but there are still four days left to shore. I don't know if it eats jerky, but I'm going to catch some fish, and I don't know if it eats it."
"Try it. The book says that dragons are omnivorous and they eat everything."
"That's good. If there is not enough meat, I'll go to the Agdalas to replenish it." The chef said happily. It seemed that Rayvon's words relieved his pressure. Then he looked down at Muent and recalled.
"During the war of one year, I've seen a dragon (the most powerful combat dragon). When it stands upright, it is as high as two floors and more than twenty meters long. I really don't know how much meat such a big guy would eat."
"Haha, a dragon eats at least three cows a day, and even four cows in wartime. They have a big appetite."
"I wonder how old this little guy will grow? What kind of dragon is it?"
"This... I don't know much about it. The shape of its wings is different from the several dragons I know." Lei Feng said, in fact, he also found it strange. He had seen various pictures of dragons before, but none of them had six spokes like Muent's wings. Generally, dragons have three to four.
"Maybe it's a very rare dragon, so congratulations."
"Haha, accept your noble words." Lei Feng said with a smile, and then suddenly found that Xiaolong, who was eating, raised his head alertly.
"What's wrong?"
"Um! Um!" Muente flapped his wings and screamed anxiously, staring at the left front of the bow. Lei Feng raised his head in confusion and found that there was nothing there.
"What's wrong with it?" Daim asked in confusion, Rayfon pointed in the direction Xiaolong was staring.
"It seems to be something in that direction."
"What?" Daim raised the telescope in surprise (wearing by the officer on duty). The dark clouds appeared in his eyes. His face suddenly became gloomy and he shouted with a frown.
"Not good! It's a storm!"
"What!?" Leifon looked at him in surprise, then turned his gaze to Muente.
Can this little guy predict a storm?
"I'll report to the captain!" Daim quickly ran to the command room.
...
...
A few minutes later, news from the Agdalas confirmed that the storm was approaching. The correspondent put down the communication screw and reported to Captain Saber.
"Captain, the Agdalas is coming, and I want my ship to take him as the guide and rudder right! Leave this sea area at full speed!"
"I know without him saying it! Pass the order down! Right rudder one-half and move forward at full speed!" Captain Saber issued the order dissatisfied. After the first mate conveyed the entire ship, the sound of a stubborn stone suddenly sounded in the sound tube.
"Captain! No! The wind suddenly became smaller! Our speed couldn't go up!"
"Damn it! It's so urgent!" Captain Saber stood up in surprise. The so-called "quietness before the storm". The sudden decrease in the wind is a sign that the storm is about to come.
"Captain! The Agdalas is coming, they want to activate the Crystal Power (Note 1), drag the ship, and ask the Typhoon to quickly move closer to it!"
"I replied that I got it, Typhoon immediately moved closer to them!" Captain Saber finished speaking, and for the first time he felt that the Typhoon was already behind.
"clear."
A few minutes later, Typhoon successfully approached the stern of the "Agdalas", and two thick cables firmly connected the head and tail of the two ships. Then Typhoon lowered the sailing gear, and the chimney of the "Agdalas" sprayed out billowing white smoke, and the oars mounted on the stern turned, thrusting the sea water forward.
"Hey! Lieutenant Lei Feng! Go back!"
The stubborn stone, who had fixed the sail equipment, came over and said to Leifon and found Leifon looking at the oars of the 'Agdalas', he asked.
"What? Is it the first time I saw this kind of thing?"
"No, I'm wondering why not use propellers?" Lei Feng asked curiously. The propeller was obviously faster than the wheelbarrow.
"Propeller? What is that?" Wanshi looked at Lei Feng in surprise.
"It's the one used on the Air Force's airship." Lei Feng said with a gesture, and Wanshi immediately understood what he meant.
"Oh! Are you talking about syrup?"
"That's right! It's the wind paddle."
"Wind oars, I heard that 'Anaheim' (Note 2) used the wind oars on the boat, but it seemed that they were not as fast as the oars, so I gave up later."
"What!?"
Lei Feng felt that something must have been made wrong. The wheelbarrow is faster than the propeller? How is this possible? But after thinking about it carefully, he understood a little. The propeller has been improved to surpass the wheelbarrow. The propeller mentioned by Wanshi should be very primitive.
"What's wrong?" Wu Shi was surprised that Lei Feng was actually interested in these questions.
"Oh, nothing, go back, Muent!" Lei Feng called Xiaolong back and got out of the cabin with Wanshi.
Not long after, the boat started to shake and a storm came.

The combustion crystal power is to use the characteristics of this substance to generate gas to promote the operation of the gas. This mineral reserve is not much and the price is relatively expensive.)
