Chapter 819 (1/2)
On the global navigation map of the world, you can always see two parallel lines. On both sides of the red earth continent, two linear areas marked as no wind zone are divided.
However, it's just a map. In fact, when you really sail to the sea, you can't see this kind of regional boundary.
No wind zone has always been a research topic of meteorologists and geologists all over the world. But so far, no one knows how they formed. The magic of it is that if there is no wind, there will be no wind!
If a sailor encounters a storm when sailing on the sea, and suddenly becomes calm and sunny when fighting against the storm, then do not doubt that you are not encountering abnormal weather, but being blown into the windless zone!
Because many ships in the world still keep the tradition of sailing, when they suddenly enter the windless zone, the ship will lose power in an instant. This time, it is quite dangerous for the people on board, because the loss of maneuverability means that they can't escape when they are in danger. In the windless zone, it is also the nest of large sea kings, If you don't pay attention, you may die in the mouth of sea king.
Every year, a large number of ships have accidents and lost track in the windless zone, so for people in this world, the windless zone has always been a relatively dangerous existence.
However, it's not that the windless zone can't communicate at all. In fact, many pirates who challenge the great route often try to break through the windless zone and get away from the great route after finding that their ability is not enough to cope with the great route. Most of these pirates fail and die at the bottom of the sea, but also a small number of lucky ones can escape, Among the four seas, the legend and horror of the great sea route are often brought out by these successful escaped pirates.
Nowadays, the only ship that can safely pass through the windless zone is the navy warship. After using the research of beltwalke, the bottom of the navy warship is inlaid with hallucinates, which can avoid the interference of sea kings in the windless zone.
Bergabank, a naval scientist, is a very important person for the Navy and the world government. They have even created the Navy science force according to bergabank's research and invention. Many experimental weapons are limited to be installed in the Navy science force for verification, and then gradually extended to the whole navy.
It can be said that if the Navy and the world government are given more time, the combat effectiveness of the navy may be so strong that it can really end the era of big pirates
Since we said ”if”, it means that there are always twists and turns and accidents
At this moment, at the junction of the West Sea and the windless zone, a fleet of twelve ships was trailing upstream.
Although this naval fleet uses the Navy's standard warships, in fact, the logo pattern on their sails is different from that of the Navy. The flag of the navy is a flying seagull like pattern, but the flag of this fleet has a long sword passing through the middle of the seagull plan!
This is the exclusive symbol of the Navy's science force. The implication is clear, which means that the Navy's science force will become the Navy's sword!
Although the Naval Science force is nominally a branch of the Navy, in fact, it is only under the command of the world government. The fleet of the Naval Science force has come to protect the underwater secret Research Institute here on the order of the five old stars!
It has been a week since Dr. bergabank was secretly transferred here. The Naval Science forces do not know why the world government wants to transfer him here, but they do not ask much.
The same patrol fleet, a total of six, each fleet has 12 warships, the 72 warships rotation for two shifts, day and night to the Research Institute as the center of the circle, in the radius of 100 nautical miles constantly cruise, and they get the order, just patrol and guard, all unauthorized ships, do not need to ask any reason, directly sink!
This is a very unreasonable order, but it also protects the location of the Institute from being discovered.
At present, this fleet is one of the regular patrols. On these 12 warships, there are not only a large number of elite navy soldiers equipped with new weapons, but also more powerful naval guns. At the same time, each warship carries three pacifists to cope with the special situation.
At this time, a major general is holding a telescope to look at the sea ahead of the fleet's flagship. Their position is in the windless zone at present, but not far ahead is the range of the great route, so the warship is sunny on this side, but on the other side of the sea, it is dark and rainy at the moment.
It was a storm. How big it was is not known.
”Try to avoid it and drive along the edge of the windless zone!” Said the rear admiral.
The order soon reached all the warships, so the fleet began to turn slowly, making a huge arc, ready to leave by rubbing the edge of the windless belt.
However, while the soldiers on the warship were looking at the distant storm from the side of the ship with some palpitations, all of a sudden, the three pacifists standing on the deck of the ship made a beep, and the three pacifists turned to the right side and looked at the distant storm.
”What's the matter?” The major general was stunned when he saw this scene.
”Intruder!” One of them, a pacifist, said suddenly.
The major general was surprised. He knew that the detection function of the pacifist was much more powerful than that of his telescope. Since the pacifist said there were invaders, it was absolutely right!
So he called for the whole ship to be on guard, and raised his telescope again, looking at the sea where the storm was.
