The Defeated Dragon - Chapter 886
[Chapter 808 The Canal in the Sky]
This chapter adds more rewards to “My Horse Feeds the Sheep”.
After the precise positioning of the sextant, Ake lifted the pen with ease and drew a simple topographic map of the Flame Islands on the notebook.
The Flame Islands are not the kind of archipelago with very scattered islands, and they do not span a large sea area.
It looks like the kind of broken oracle bone preserved in the museum. A complete tortoise shell is broken into many pieces, and then put together. Of course, Liszt prefers to call it a broken shell.
The tortoise shell is too low, and the shell grade will go up immediately.
This shell is like an oval leaf, with pointed ends and a circle in the middle, showing a northeast-southwest trend as a whole.
There are three large islands in the northeast corner, each of which is close to the area of Ironshoe Island according to Ake’s description; in the middle is the huge Flaming Island, and the Vortex Mountain is in the eastern center of the Flaming Island.
There are four large islands in the southwest corner that form the edge of the shell, and together with the island of flames, enclose an inland sea.
Of course, this is just a rough map. Many areas are inferred by Arche, and they have not been carefully positioned. The area of the island and the area of the sea have not been calculated.
If you want to complete the smoke task of the mapping map, you will need to be busy for a long time to find the lost invisible dragon.
In short.
The archipelago is called the Flame Islands, and the surrounding waters can no longer be called the Bibo Sea. Liszt simply gave it the name of the Shell Sea.
All the offshore waters ruled by the kingdom of flames in the future are called shell seas.
“Brother, Vortex Mountain is located deep in the interior of Flaming Island. Whether it is to the north, south or east, there is a distance of more than 500 kilometers.” Ake is very good at mathematics, and is proficient in adding and subtracting as taught by Liszt. Four operations of multiplication and division, and elementary knowledge such as square rooting.
However, Liszt has long forgotten about the mathematical knowledge further up, and even quadratic equations in one variable may not be solved, let alone functions such as os, sin, and power.
However, he remembered that many rectangles are “length” times “width”, parallelograms are “height” times “base”, triangles are “height” times “base” and then halved, the area of a trapezoid is The “height” multiplied by the “upper and lower side length” is halved, and the area of the circle is π multiplied by the square of the “radius”.
also.
There are also some abstract image areas, which need to be cut and supplemented to make them approximate rectangles, triangles, etc.; or draw grid lines, calculate the area of the grid occupied by the image, and then add them together.
When he handed these formulas to Ake,
Ake immediately carried them forward and became an important tool for studying magic circles and astronomy and geography.
Therefore, Ake can easily calculate the distance from the whirlpool mountain to the sea, and come to the conclusion that each route will not be less than 500 kilometers.
“Five hundred kilometers is not bad, let Leo fly at full speed, and he can fly to the beach in about three or four hours.” Liszt pointed and said.
However, it is rare to come to the Flame Islands. Liszt is not going to go back like this. He must first map the island area of the Flame Islands.
Completing the smoke mission is more important.
This is about the whereabouts of his old friend Invisible Dragon. He always carries it with him for a feast of smoked herbs, waiting for the Invisible Dragon to come to the feast, and by the way, he eats the Lost Dragon Soul Fruit.
…
Leo fell to the ground, chewing the potion and adjuvant that Liszt put into his mouth, contentedly.
Liszt and Ake outlined his idea of building the Fire City: “The city must be built, and the Maelstrom Magic Teleportation Array must be developed. The problem now is that there is great danger in entering and leaving the Maelstrom, and many are fragile. The supplies cannot be kept intact.”
“A water curtain magic circle can be arranged at the mouth of the whirlpool, and the water curtain can slow down the ships passing through the maelstrom.”
“But even if the ship slows down, it will still fall down the mountain.”
Ake thought seriously: “I heard my brother talk about the story of opening a canal between two seas. The sea level is different, and water can be released and injected through different valves to achieve navigation.” The story of the canal she told was actually Liszt’s leisure time. The Panama Canal that came out of nowhere.
However, Liszt clearly remembered that the sea surface of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are the same.
It is only due to geological influences that cannot be directly excavated, the Panama Canal will rely on the drop of the river, and use the method of first rising and then lowering, so that ships can pass smoothly.
China’s Three Gorges Dam is also a sluice canal navigation method, and the world’s earliest sluice canal is the Lingqu in ancient China.
Liszt, who didn’t know he was talking nonsense, nodded and said: “Yes, that canal is to use the gate to release water and fill the water to complete the staircase navigation. So you mean, you want to build this kind of canal on the Whirlpool Mountain? I’m afraid not. With a height difference of 3,000 meters, it is impossible to dig a canal.”
“But magic is possible, Ake can design a water column magic array that can rise and fall, starting from the entrance of the whirlpool, and depending on the mountain situation, there are about 30 vertical drops of 100. Mi’s water column magic array can complete the navigation.”
“Even so, the resources consumed will probably be astronomical.”
“When Ake completes the control of the ice attribute, he will study the changes in the nature of the soil attribute, and then use the soil magic to turn the mountain. Completely transform to reduce resource consumption!” Ake said ambitiously.
She had read the magic books that Kenley Truth had brought from the Kingdom of Steel Ridge, which contained the sporadic masterpieces of magic from the imperial age.
It is said that there was a “canal in the sky” that led from the capital of the Moon Empire all the way to the western frontier, which was supported by a magic circle.
However, the canal in the sky has already been annihilated in the long river of history. Many magicians have tried to verify the remains of the canal in the sky, but they have not yet found it.
Therefore, Ake hopes to design a small piece of inferior copycat version of “Sky Canal” for Whirlpool Mountain.
She is also a magician. The ancient magician can do it, why can’t the modern magician do it.
She has read magic books related to the ancient moon empire, and the anecdotes recorded in them are all imaginative and eclectic.
It made her feel very emotional. For a magician, there is nothing that can’t be done.
It’s a pity that the prosperous era of magical civilization has long since ceased to exist.
Liszt is not so optimistic. With the shrinking of the magic net, it is difficult for the magic circle to draw magic power from the magic net, and it needs to be arranged with various precious magic materials.
The resources spent in this way are absolutely astronomical, and now he is struggling to keep two dragons, and he can’t wait to grab a few development orders a year.
It is not very realistic to spend resources to build canals.
However, he did not have the interest of sweeping Ake: “Then wait for you to complete the elemental incarnation switch of the earth attribute as soon as possible, and then develop the Maelstrom Magic Portal in depth… Now think of a way, how? Use the maelstrom to transmit resources and develop this huge archipelago as soon as possible.”
Ake is not a very ambitious person: “Brother, can you build a lot of ships like the Flame, carefully reinforce them, accumulate resources and population, and then send them to the big island.
Vortex. Ake crosses first, and uses magic to catch the big ship at the mouth of the Vortex, and then set it aside to unload?”
“You mean to use the Flame as a one-time transport vehicle?”
“Well.”
“It’s still a bit extravagant, but Compared with transporting resources across the sea, this is really easy, but it will always bother you and me.”
“Hee hee, brother, it’s good that you don’t feel tired, but Ake is looking forward to crossing the maelstrom again and studying the magic teleportation array. Maybe it won’t be long before Ake will be able to build a new magic circle by himself, and build a teleportation circle from the Black Horse Island to teleport the Flame Island!”
Liszt laughed, what “canals in the sky” are unreliable, this is the reason Is the best solution: “I’ll wait and see.”
