Chapter 115: On the voyage
"From the moment we leave the harbor, the two of you, Centaur and Noshiro, will take turns escorting us. The merchant ship doesn't move very fast, so there will be absolutely no problem at your speed." Qin Ge said to the Centaur and Noshiro.
"Yes, Commander!" The two men nodded heavily.
"Then let's start with Noshiro, and take turns to rest every two hours until the merchant ship reaches its destination." Qin Ge said.
"Yes!" Noshiro nodded, then jumped off the command ship, unfolded his ship suit and landed on the sea, moving together with the command ship and the merchant ship.
As the port gradually became blurred, the merchant ship escort this time officially began.
But speaking of it, Qin Ge and his team were quite lucky, as they had been on missions for two consecutive days with calm weather. Although the heavy rain and strong winds could not stop the ship girls from moving forward, encountering such bad weather would always affect the completion of the mission.
Because they were just following the cargo ship and had a clear route, Qin Ge changed the command ship to automatic driving mode after setting it up, and he sat next to the driving position, responsible only for monitoring.
Just like that, after several rotations of the Centaurs and the Noh, night began to fall and the moonlight began to fill the sea.
Looking at the night outside, Qin Ge found the Centaur who was discussing with Guanghui.
"What's wrong, Commander?" The Centaur looked at Qin Ge who was walking towards the two of them and asked him.
Qin Ge said to the Centaur, "It's already night time. I want to ask, can you successfully launch a carrier-based aircraft at night?"
"So that's what the commander is worried about." The Centaur smiled, "Okay, after all, since our glorious predecessors, our Royal Aircraft Carrier has had the ability to operate at night."
Qin Ge nodded. "That's good, but in the dark night, can your carrier-based aircraft spot the Siren ships?"
It was not the Centaur who answered this question, but Guanghui, "Commander Qin Ge, don't worry. I was just teaching the Centaur some knowledge about night combat. With the Centaur's intelligence, I believe he will master it quickly.
And this time of escorting the merchant ship is also an opportunity for her to exercise, because in future battles, there will be a lot of night battles. "
"Thank you so much, Guanghui." Qin Ge hurriedly said to Guanghui.
"It's okay. After all, we are all members of the royal camp. When we encounter such problems, we should indeed take care of each other. And the Centaur is also very humble and quick to learn. I am very happy with her teaching." Guanghui said gently.
"Well, that's too much trouble for you." Qin Ge nodded to Guanghui, then returned to his driving seat.
Soon, the Centaur jumped into the sea to take turns with Noshiro, while Guanghui walked to Qin Ge's side.
"Commander Qin Ge, the Centaur has already gone for rotation, and her radar system is very good compared to ours, so there won't be any problems." Guanghui said to Qin Ge.
"Well, that's good." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Haha, Commander Qin Ge has been here for a whole day. Why don't you go and have a rest first, and I will take care of the command ship from now on?" Guanghui said to Qin Ge.
"It's okay. Like you said, night battles will be commonplace in the future, so I have to get used to this kind of life sooner. So this time can be regarded as training for me. I will stay here until the mission is over." Qin Ge said to Guanghui.
"Commander Qin Ge is still unexpectedly stubborn in some areas." Guanghui said, "Then I respect your choice and will not make these requests. But the night is long, I wonder if Commander Qin Ge has time to chat with me?"
Qin Ge smiled, and it was obvious that Guanghui was also thinking about his condition. After all, sailing at night was different from sailing during the day. During the day, at least he could see the scenery of the sea outside, and it wouldn't be so boring.
But at night, the sea is pitch black, and even with the moonlight, you still can't see too far ahead. So people tend to become anxious in such a situation. If there is someone to accompany you at this time, it will be a very happy thing.
"Thank you, Guanghui. But if you feel sleepy later, go and have a rest. If anything happens, I will call you." Qin Ge said to Guanghui.
"I see." Guanghui said, sitting on the stool next to Qin Ge, and looking out at the sea with him. "Does Commander Qin Ge like music?"
"I like it very much. I think music is a very direct way to express people's emotions. No matter whether it is happy or sad, it can touch people's hearts directly." Qin Ge said to Guanghui.
"Yes, a beautiful piece of music can last for thousands of years. A moving melody can also warm the heart of a lonely and helpless person and stir up emotions. A singing from the soul can reach the corner of people's hearts that is full of love and spark countless sparks." Guanghui said with a smile.
"Hearing Guanghui say this, do you also like music?" Qin Ge said.
"Well, didn't Commander Qin Ge talk about our ideals before? I hope to spread love and peace to this sea, and music is the best way to spread love and peace besides the holy light." Guanghui smiled.
"What kind of music does Guanghui like best?" Qin Ge asked with a smile.
"My favorite is Handel's Messiah." Guanghui said to Qin Ge.
"Messiah? Does it mean Jesus Christ?" Qin Ge said to Guanghui.
"Haha, I didn't expect Commander Qin Ge to be quite knowledgeable about this ." Guanghui said happily.
"When I was researching your royal family, I also did some homework. Because for many people, the gods or religions they believe in will have an impact on their military thinking to a certain extent." Qin Ge explained to Guanghui.
“Well, the reason why I like this song “Messiah” so much is that many poor people and people in need have been helped to varying degrees because of its performance.
Many hospitals have been built or renovated because of this song, and people in every corner of the world have gained spiritual encouragement by singing it, and have gained more strength to move forward.
More Christians, after listening to it, love the Lord and the world even more and are determined to pursue the truth, just like the light of the Holy Light spreading all over the world." Guanghui said with a look of longing.
Qin Ge saw Guanghui's expression and nodded with a smile, "Can you sing a little?"
Guanghui smiled and said, "Of course! Let's sing the most famous part of the song to Commander Qin Ge, called "Hallelujah."
"Um."
