The Defeated Dragon - Chapter 873
[Chapter seven hundred and ninety-six sea maelstrom]
“His Royal Highness, when you and Teacher Ake go to explore the New Islands, can you take my sister and me with you?” Ruth asked with her lovely big eyes.
Lucy hurriedly reprimanded: “Ruth, you are not allowed to make rude requests to His Highness!”
Although Ruth was a little bold, she did not dare to resist her sister, so she could only bow to Liszt aggrievedly and apologize: ” I’m sorry, Your Highness, Ruth is too reckless, I ask your forgiveness.”
Liszt waved his hand: “Don’t be nervous, Lucy, Ruth, if your teacher Ake doesn’t refuse, there’s nothing wrong with bringing you along. “There are two cute little loli accompanied on the sailing journey, which is also a pleasing and interesting thing, not to mention that they can control the magic table.
Therefore, A Ke, who was investigating the project “How the individual dragon turtles mutate into thunder and lightning dragon turtles” from Longgui Island, quickly agreed to the two sisters’ requests.
Under the pressure of Liszt, she has accepted Lucy and Ruth as her magic apprentices. In this regard, the twins’ former teacher, Chrissy Truth, has no objection at all, and even admires the twins and can listen to them at any time. The teachings of the sorcerer.
certainly.
Chris actually thinks too much. Ake is nominally the teacher of the twins, but he has no idea of teaching at all in private.
She only likes to study magic by herself, or assign some research tasks to magicians, and doesn’t like to communicate with other people, let alone teach.
The magician came to teach the magic apprentice, it is indeed too talented, any ordinary magician of the magic guild can complete the teaching.
“Thank you teacher, thank you Your Highness.” The twins cheered excitedly.
Liszt nodded and said: “Go and pack up your salute, we will set off at any time.” He and Ake’s sailing trips are all about leaving, and they will not be dragged in the slightest.
At this time.
In a jade box hanging on the roof, Nami’s weak voice sounded: “Grumbling.”
It flew out of the box and landed on Ake’s palm, looking at Ake pitifully.
He didn’t go out to work for a while, but stayed in the laboratory waiting for Ake’s return, seeking the care of the contract owner.
At this time, its expression is sullen, and it is still playing with the hindering power of evolution.
Ake held Nami in the palm of his hand and smiled: “Don’t worry Nami, Ake will take you with us. Let’s go to my brother’s newly discovered archipelago to explore the new world.
” Rubbing Ake’s fingers, he
dozed off with satisfaction.
a day later.
Liszt arranged the affairs around him properly, and Ake also handed over the busy magic experiments one by one, and then set off for the new archipelago.
Boom!
Whoa!
“Ocean, we’re off!” The twins shouted happily as they stood on the bow.
Before they came to Heima Island, they were serf children in the countryside of the Eagle Kingdom, and they had never seen the sea in their lives.
Coming to live on Heima Island, riding a sailboat is a common occurrence. I have already overcome the fear of the sea, but I have not dared to swim in the sea.
Filled with supplies such as fruits, vegetables, potions, and other supplies, the Flame was riding the wind and waves along the planned sailing route at a speed of up to 500 kilometers per hour.
The distance between the New Islands and Heima Island is about 4,000 kilometers. According to the data of the earth, it is probably the distance from the Bohai Sea in the northernmost part of China to the South China Sea in the southernmost part.
The average sailing speed of the court clipper is about 10 knots, which is 18 kilometers per hour, and it can sail up to 400 kilometers a day with downwind.
The Sapphire family relies on the court clipper to dominate the Bibo Sea, but there are many headwinds and no wind voyages at sea, so at most 200 kilometers a day.
From Heima Island to the New Archipelago, it would take 20 days for the court clipper alone to arrive. If it was replaced by a merchant ship with a speed of 3 knots, it would probably take two months, or in the case of a smooth sailing.
but.
For the Flame, there is no so-called headwind, tailwind, or no wind. Ake controls the water tornado to push and races directly on the sea.
Four hours later, at the location recorded on the nautical chart, Liszt called out the little fire dragon Leo, flew into the blue sky and white clouds, and searched for land.
The search went very smoothly, and it took only fifteen minutes to find the island, which is why the accuracy of the nautical charts continued to rise.
Ake has been studying “astrology” for a long time, and combined with telescope technology, he has developed a set of devices that can measure the angle between the sun or other stars and the sea level and the ground level. method” to direct the device application.
After seeing this device, Liszt directly grabbed the naming rights: “Just call it a sextant!” In fact, it is the otherworldly version of the sextant.
With a sextant, the ship’s bearing can be measured more accurately during sailing.
Basically, the situation of getting lost while sailing is eliminated. The fleets led from the flames are all sextants during the day and night. Only when it is cloudy will the navigation compass similar to the compass device point to a fixed direction, but it is not the north-south direction. It’s 15 degrees north by west.
There is no theoretical explanation as to why it would point in this direction.
“Ake, set off in the direction of 195 degrees, the island is in front!” After finding the island, Liszt immediately contacted Ake. As for “195 degrees”, Liszt invented it. He combined the navigation compass to divide the azimuth coordinates into 360 degrees. , clearly indicating each direction.
195 degrees is a little bit west by south.
This invention originated from the game “PUBG Mobile: Battle Royale” that he played on the earth. There are 360-degree directions in it, which is very convenient to remind teammates of the enemy’s position.
But it wasn’t until the Flame approached the island.
Lucy and Ruth shouted loudly: “His Royal Highness, teacher, there is news from the magic platform that the Discovery has encountered an unknown maelstrom and is being swallowed by the vortex, call us for help!”
Ake immediately said: “Coordinates, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com bearing!” When the
twins reported the location of the Discovery, the Flame immediately turned around and rushed towards the sea area where the Discovery was located.
The magic station communication was maintained along the way, and the Discovery was still struggling. The Explorer and Opportunity were far away and could not be rescued at all. They could only wait for the Flame.
It’s just a pity that when Ake kept correcting his position and finally arrived near the maelstrom, the signal of the Discovery had disappeared from the magic platform.
“His Royal Highness, teacher…” Lucy said sadly, “I can’t find the magic platform signal of the Discovery.”
Liszt stepped onto the bow deck of the Flame, in a bad mood, but comforted himself: “Exploration at sea They are all pioneers in the founding of the country, and the new country will not forget their contributions.” He raised his eyes and looked at the maelstrom that seemed to devour the heavens and the earth.
With Ake controlling the waterspout, the flame slowly approached the maelstrom.
This is a gigantic whirlpool with no edge in sight. Even the Divine Water Conditioning Pearl can’t affect its operation. The sea surface of the whirlpool tilts all the way to the distant center point.
