Magic Industry Empire - 666. Chapter 666
The setting sun continued to sink behind him, and it was about to fall into the farthest horizon.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled over, dyeing the sea an orange, and at the same time, they also put a layer of pale yellow coating on the bodies of “Zhanwing”, “Chaoyang”, and “Victory Elis”. nice.
Nievar squinted slightly and looked at the endless sea behind him. Then he turned to look at the sea in front of which there is no end in sight and has already begun to turn black. He nodded slightly, and said to the deputy next to him: “Go on and start to lower. Speed, enter the night flight phase.”
The deputy took the command and left. After a while, the speed of the Zhanwing was obviously slowed down, and the Chaoyang and the Victory Elis, which were slightly behind on the left and right sides, also slowed down, still maintaining the same speed as the Zhanwing. In a triangular formation, on the vast sea, continue to move eastward.
Nevar came to the railing and took a look at the sea.
Although due to the reduced speed, the waves caused by Zhanwing have been much smaller than before, but any ship that had been on board with Nivar before was still countless times larger.
If it happens to hit a wave, the wave splashes and can even go up to several meters high.
Nivar has lived at sea for so many years and has always liked watching the waves crashed by ships.
However, before that, he had not seen any sea-going ship that could crash into such a high wave on the sea like the Chaoyang, but still be able to keep moving forward smoothly and fast.
Stability and safety are the deepest feelings Nervar has felt in nearly three months since he boarded the Zhanwing.
Compared with the wooden ships that Nevar took in the past, Zhanwing is dozens of times larger in scale, and because the whole body is made of stainless steel, it looks extra stable when sailing on the sea.
In the past, when driving those wooden ships, they often encountered a big wave, and the entire ship would sway violently, giving people the illusion that the entire ship would be overturned in the next moment.
And on this Zhanwing, ordinary waves can’t cause any impact at all, staying on the deck is like staying on flat ground.
Even if it encounters a relatively large and fierce wave, Zhanwing can still steadily crush the past without any fluctuations, which makes people feel particularly at ease.
Thinking of this, Nevar couldn’t help but relive the thrilling situation he experienced on the night three days ago.
Three days ago, when the fleet was passing through a bay corner at night, it accidentally encountered a sudden storm.
At that time, the storm was extremely violent, and the situation was extremely bad. If it had been encountered such a violent storm while going out to sea before, there was almost no possibility of surviving.
However, in the face of such a violent storm, the three huge magic ships of Zan Wing showed safety performance far beyond ordinary wooden sea ships.
Although the hull will still be bumpy due to influence, the overall situation is unusually stable.
Cooperating with the wind and water magic arrays attached to the outside of the three magic ships to deal with severe weather conditions at sea, the three magic ships did not encounter any real danger from beginning to end.
When the storm passed and the sea was calm again, everyone including Nievar couldn’t believe it.
The people on these three ships are all veteran sailors who have been living at sea for many years. They know much more about the dangers at sea than ordinary people, so they are very aware of the terrifying danger hidden in this sudden storm, even most of them are already in their hearts. Sentenced himself to death.
But everyone did not expect that the three magic ships of Zhan Wing could survive this danger so easily.
After everyone escaped from the dead, they suddenly had a new understanding and trust in the capabilities of these three magic ships.
If we said that when we set off from Xinfei Port, everyone felt a little uncertain about their future and could not help but feel fear, but after this storm, everyone instantly felt full of self-confidence.
Everyone firmly believes that with these three powerful magic ships, they can even sail from the sea to the farthest corner of the world!
Nievar also believed in this.
However, as the commander of this fleet, he must also consider more practical conditions.
It has been nearly 20 days since the departure from Xinfei Port.
Judging from the chart, most of the journey has passed.
If you landed on the shore now, you must have entered the territory of the Kingdom of Ruelson.
If nothing else, as long as you insist on it for less than a week, you should be able to reach Nissi City successfully.
In fact, the three magic ships of Zhan Wing can maintain a sailing speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour. They didn’t need to spend so long, but they knew that it would take less than a week to complete the voyage.
But because this is the first voyage, the task of this fleet is not only to successfully transport the cargo to Nissi City, but also to find the route to lay the foundation for future voyages.
Therefore, during the entire voyage, Neva appeared to be cautious, strictly controlling the sailing speed, and along the way, detailed records of the surrounding waters of the route were drawn into a chart, and the overall speed was naturally much slower.
Slow walking, although safer, it also brought a lot of problems.
The first thing to bear is the issue of logistical materials.
Although Neva had already set a one-month sailing time from Xinfei Port and prepared supplies according to one month’s time, all kinds of accidents were unavoidable when sailing on the sea, leading to the consumption of these materials. It was much faster than in the Nevar plan.
With the remaining materials on these three magic ships, it may be able to support the entire fleet’s consumption for ten days.
In theory, it should be enough for the fleet to insist on reaching Nissi City.
But if there is another accident, it will be difficult to say.
The other materials are still well settled, but once the most important freshwater resource on the sea is gone, there is really nowhere to find it.
Thinking of the seriousness of this problem, Nevar could not help but think that before sailing, the president once mentioned to him one thing, saying that he was considering developing a magic fresh water purifier.
If this thing is successfully developed, it will be much more convenient to prepare a few when sailing in the future.
But now… we have to solve the immediate problem first.
Nevar glanced at the vast sea in front of the fleet sailing, raised his head to look at the observation deck above the middle of the Zhanwing, took up the magic call box in his hand, and said: “Mayes, show me well, if you see anything nearby. If there are a few islands, let us know in advance, and we will try to get some supplies on these islands.”
“Yes!” A slightly frivolous voice sounded in the magic call box, but then lowered the tone. “But Captain, it’s going to be dark this day, I can’t see clearly at all.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, just let you see. Not only today, but also pay attention to this every day in the future, understand?” Neval shouted in a deep voice.
“Oh, I understand. But I have been watching for so long along the way, and I haven’t seen a few larger islands at all. I said, Captain, is there a problem with the route we chose? I think if we get closer With some coastlines, there may be more islands like this.”
“Need you to talk nonsense?” Nievar scolded angrily.
If possible, he certainly knew that it would be much safer to sail closer to the coast and it would be easier to obtain supplies from the coast.
But the three magic ships of Zhanwing are very good, but there is a problem, that is, the hull is too large, and because all of them are made of stainless steel, the tonnage is extremely heavy, resulting in too deep draft.
If it is too close to the coastline, the familiar seas will be nothing more than the unfamiliar seas, but there are reefs everywhere, maybe they will directly encounter the reefs, leading to stranding.
If something like this really happened, then what kind of face does he have to go back to see the president.
Besides, the main task of this fleet this time is to find out the route, so Neva deliberately chose unclear routes along the way.
However, on the route he chose this time, he never encountered any suitable island that could be used as an intermediate supply station, which caused the supplies to be unable to be replenished.
He is worrying about this now, this Mace is still here, which naturally makes him unhappy.
Metz is a veteran of Nivar’s, so he can naturally hear his bad tone now.
The probe looked at the deck below, and saw that Nevar was pacing around on the deck. Knowing that he might be thinking about important issues in his heart, Metz stuck out his tongue, stopped talking, and turned his head to look far away. Sea conditions.
At this time, most of the setting sun had sunk into the sea horizon far behind, and the sea to the east had already become dark. Even though Metz had always had excellent eyesight and equipped with a telescope, he couldn’t see anything at all.
After scanning for a while, Metz murmured, and was about to put down the binoculars and rest for a while, but suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of black shadows emerging from the distant sea, and quickly approached here.
Metz was startled, and immediately reacted, jumped up, and shouted with the probe to the deck below.
“There are pirates!”
The stern shout came into the ears of everyone on the deck of the Zhanwing, and everyone was surprised at once.
Pirates are not unfamiliar terms for people who have lived at sea for many years.
However, it has been more than ten days of sailing on this road, perhaps because the route just entered the deep sea, avoiding places close to the coastline, so it has always been very safe, and everyone almost forgot about the pirates.
Unexpectedly, entering the waters of the Ruelson Kingdom now, not far from the destination, but encountering pirates.
Hearing Metz’s shout, Nevar stopped, first raised his head and glanced at the observation deck, then looked forward, but saw nothing in the darkness.
After staying for a while, Nievar didn’t show any panic on his face, but surprise in his eyes.
“There are pirates? Haha, great!”
