Chapter 916： Tripartite contact (1/2)
The sea is incredible.
It is wider than Baishui River, wider than Gorgon River, and wider than any river or lake on land.
Byron stood on a high platform on the front deck of the Curiosity, and let the cold sea breeze rush in, the peculiar salty breath in the sea water blowing into the nostrils, the body of water that stretched infinitely in the field of vision undulated in front of the bow The sound of the waves, the sound of the wind, the sound of the ship's machinery, and the whispers of unknown seabirds all surround him in all directions.
He glanced back and saw that the sailors were busy in various positions on the ship. Some technicians were checking the connection between the magic wing and the upper deck machinery. The Naga "philosopher" with deep and sad eyes was Observing the distant sky through some kind of magic device, and in the waves beside the ship, there are still a few beautiful and ghostly figures swimming around in the water.
He suddenly remembered his experience as a mercenary in those years-something that was completely irrelevant to the prospect of the eyes, but brought inexplicable memories in the heart of the half-way knight, he remembered those adventures in the jungle and the secret realm Days, remember those who walked through many unfamiliar lands with themselves, and were buried in the unfamiliar lands ...
When the sea breeze blew, he squinted and smiled and said to the sea monster Viola standing beside him: "I originally thought I was already a middle-aged man who pursued stability. I didn't expect to be a bit adventurous in my heart. "
"Humans have always been adventurous-you are not as strong as the Kraken, but you have more guts than us, which surprised us for many years," the deep sea witch with long blue hair said seriously, "but probably It is precisely because of this adventurous spirit that your development speed can be so fast, and it is always full of variables. "
Byron smiled, looked up at the distant sea, looked at the direction of the far sea, and said casually: "We are just taking the first step today ... It is far from a challenge to bypass the land along the safe waters off the coast. The ocean, at best, is only testing the performance parameters of Curiosity. If it really challenges the distant sea ... At least it must be close to that dividing line. "
"I and the" Zheren "discussed the plan for the exploration of the distant sea," the sea monster Viola, who served as a technical consultant, nodded. "Based on the experience of the Storm Church, we believe that humans should sail from two directions-one It is to observe and avoid the "disordered turbulence" that has been formed in advance. One is to ensure the survivability and navigation ability of the ship when the disordered turbulence is suddenly formed out of thin air and envelopes the ship. Back to the safe sea ... "
Byron nodded seriously: "Very reasonable-His Majesty sent a batch of information to Beigang before, which also mentioned the importance of remotely discovering disordered turbulence, and how to survive if turbulence is involved. , The former is actually quite good. Now we have the help of Naga. They have the spell model of the Storm Church. The research department on the Imperial Capital has begun to try to reverse the related spells into equipment available for the ship, but the latter does not. easily……"
Speaking of which, Byron shook his head: "The children of the storm rely on themselves as the transcendent's meticulous perception of the ocean, plus the blessing of 'faith power' to ensure safety, especially the latter, so that they can even Finding those narrow safe paths when the sequence of turbulence is coming, the current magic technology ca n’t do this, and we do n’t plan to build faith in the ocean and storms-although we all know that it is now directed to your race Spirit, but to avoid introducing divine power into the military and scientific research system is our basic national policy. "
"I hope your magician will have a way, thicker armor, stronger shield, higher speed ... These methods may help your human ships to resist the disorderly turbulence at sea," Viola said. Said quickly, "Of course, we will also provide some" siren-style "technical ideas, but those ideas are not necessarily applicable to your land creatures ..."
Byron recalled the scene with the Kraken technical experts discussing "how to deal with emergency in the event of a Shanghai accident", and shook his head with tears and laughs: "Will everyone swim back if the boat is gone ... We really can't use this ..."
Viola shrugged expressionlessly — this is what she just learned from anthropology — and then looked away: “We are close to the port.”
...
With the second whistle of Curiosity, this huge and advanced steel ship began to slow down while adjusting the bow's orientation, gradually approaching the port trestle of Baiyu Port like a giant beast.
Paladin Huishanyan, who was standing on the trestle, looked up at the monster a little bit, his face gradually showing a surprised and envious expression, and then his already reddish nose became even more ruddy, and a smile and beard bloomed on his face. The decorative metal ornaments at the end all screamed with this smile. The interim envoy from the dwarf kingdom in the western part of the mainland happily said to the partner beside him: "Hi! I want this one too-those 'Ceciles' are a little bit capable!"
"I want to know how this boat moved!" Another dwarf yelled loudly. "If those Cecilians are willing to teach, I can give my nephew to their craftsmen as a twenty-year apprentice!" "
"Enough is enough. Your nephew has been given to you as an apprentice at least one hundred times by you under various excuses! If you count every time, he will at least be an apprentice to people for five hundred years-forgive you. Nephew! "
"Quiet," Paladin Huishanyan immediately glared at the tribe who followed him. "We stand here on behalf of the Forge City, and don't lose face in front of humanity."
The noisy dwarf representatives finally quieted down, and Wenna Baizhi standing next to them quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dwarves, this group of optimists living in the extreme west of the mainland is a very troublesome race. Although most of them like to nest next to their ancient melting pot, there are still a lot of dwarves coming out. Their kingdom is running around in this world, and the Ogure tribe, which is adjacent to the dwarf kingdom, has dealt with these guys most, so Wenna is also very clear about the dwarves ’nature-the inherent optimism and adventurous impulse to make them Dare to try anything, even in such a serious and formal occasion, it is difficult to guarantee that these "ambassadors" who have been plugged in will not make any mess ...
After all, the dwarves who pretend to be "steel people" never dismiss those red tapes of the human world.
She withdrew her attention, looked at the magic ship that had been docked by the trestle and was laying down multiple steps and springboards, and took a deep breath.
The dwarves felt envious and surprised when they saw this thing, but she only felt a little suffocated.
She seemed to suddenly understand that the great Govin Cecile and the magic army he ruled within a short period of time settled a war and established an empire, and understood the reliance of all these great causes, or Rely on one.
She was fortunate. Fortunately, during the most difficult period of the Cecil Empire ’s civil war, the various races of the Ogure tribe chose to provide help instead of taking advantage of it. Fortunately, the gray elves of the moss forest have always been commercial and human. She had no conflicts with the human kingdom that lived next to her, but she was unavoidably upset when she was fortunate.
But in the end, she condensed all the emotions that should not come out at this moment, put all her thoughts behind her head temporarily, and after a slight adjustment of the muscles on her face, she showed the most suitable smile on the current occasion.
Byron stepped off the springboard and stepped on the solid wooden trestle. He beside him did not bring anyone but the adjutant and several personal soldiers-the technical advisors of the Kraken and the Naga remained on the boat or in the sea, They do not need to participate in this contact.
