Seeing that the deep seabed was so close to her, Xia Yue couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that she would make a mistake in operation or that Xu Kai's design would be wrong.
But the moment she spread out the sails, Xia Yue's heart calmed down.
Just as my teacher said before, the operation of unfolding the sail is hardly any effort. I just pull the rope slightly, and the sail will cooperate as if it heard the command and complete the entire unfolding.
After stretching, a slight force acted on the sail, giving the rescue boat, which was originally stagnant, the power to move forward immediately.
Even though the wind on the sea was very weak, almost negligible, everyone still felt the force.
As the rescue boat began to move slowly, everyone on Class 9's eyes widened:
"Oh my god, in this almost windless environment, it actually moved?!"
"Can this sail really sense such a weak wind?"
Everyone stared at Xia Yue's lifeboat, and began to look forward to the performance behind the sail.
The moment Xia Yue felt the wind, she began to recall Xu Kai's teaching.
'Feel the direction of the wind and let the side of the sail touch the wind.'
'Only in this way can you ensure the direction of the ship. If the entire sail is affected by the wind, you will definitely move in the direction of the wind, and then the sail will have no meaning.'
'And when you make side contact, you don't need to push too hard, just a very slight deflection angle can help you complete the turn.'
"Don't worry, it's easier to deflect the sail than to raise it. Just pull the rope in the opposite direction..."
Recalling Xu Kai's teaching, Xia Yue slowly closed her eyes and began to mutter to herself.
"Feel the direction of the wind, Xia Yue."
"Don't panic, you can do it."
After feeling a slight change in wind direction, Xia Yue opened her eyes again, pulled her arm slightly, and the new sail immediately returned like a good lover.
Almost in the space of a breath, he completed a slight deflection.
The original wind direction immediately passed along the deflected sail, giving the sail a completely opposite force.
For the first time, under Xia Yue's control, the lifeboat completed an ideal turn.
"It actually...actually succeeded?"
'And the feedback from this sail is so gentle that even if my arms are wrapped around the rope, I won't feel any pulling.'
"With this thing, it seems that sailing alone is no longer a difficult thing."
Xia Yue was filled with joy and couldn't help but look upwards.
At this time, the sail has demonstrated its capabilities under the influence of the breeze.
But Xia Yue inexplicably felt that she might be able to control the speed as well.
For a shutter-like design, does it mean that speed control can be achieved by just raising some shutters?
With this thought in mind, Xia Yue pulled another rope, which was used to fold the sails.
After a few gentle tugs, the sail was retracted by one third.
The lifeboat, which was originally moving at a constant speed, slowed down a bit.
Just like a tourist strolling in the sea, Xia Yue takes him to appreciate the beauty of the ocean.
"It actually works~"
At this moment, Xia Yue's original worries had disappeared, and what remained was a strong curiosity.
With this curiosity, Xia Yue began to pull the rope frequently, and from the initial awkwardness, she quickly became proficient.
Soon the lifeboat made a large circle around Class 9.
The feeling of convenience and speed was immediately imprinted in everyone's mind.
This allows them to have a more intuitive understanding of the practicality of this new sail.
So much so that the way they looked at Xu Kai changed.
This guy is really a talented person~
Moreover, this research and development was due to the thunderstorm. If it had experienced something else, what could it have produced?
Everyone in Class 9 couldn't help but have this thought.
As for Xu Kai, his expression gradually changed from nervousness at the beginning to arrogance.
Humph, I just want to say that our design is still very good~
On the boat, everyone in Class 9 had different thoughts.
Xia Yue seemed to be addicted to the fun and started driving the rescue boat around Class 9 in circles.
Even when she turned to the third circle, she was singing happily, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
Theoretically speaking, Xia Yue would have completed the mission as long as she completed the first lap of navigation.
But in the end, in her happy mood and singing, Xia Yue still circled Class 9 five times, and finally returned to Class 9 reluctantly amid Wang Bo's call.
It took half an hour in total, which was considered very fast.
After Xia Yue returned to the deck, the members of Team 9 couldn't wait to surround her and ask her about her thoughts on the use of the new sails.
Xia Yue smiled happily:
“It was great. It was the first time I experienced the joy of driving a boat myself.”
“And there really wasn’t any strain on it, the sail was very easy to handle.”
"Its operation is also much simpler than that of an ordinary sailboat. It only takes about ten minutes to get used to it and you can use it as easily as if it were your own arm."
“Even someone like me who is not good at sailing can learn it right away.”
