Assassin's Journey

Chapter 79 Science and Magic

"Oh, okay," Henry nodded quickly, then patted his chest, and said with confidence, "Now I really don't have any worries at all!"

He also thought that the reason why Jack didn't let him say the name Suyu Swobaba was because there might be some special taboo.

"Why does that ship fly?" Karina murmured with dull eyes.

She really couldn't figure it out.

"Is this magic?" Even with a firm mind like her, her faith couldn't help but be shaken at this moment.

"This is not magic, on the contrary, it is science," Su Yu said with a smile as he walked on the Pearl, "It's just that, for you now, this kind of science is similar to magic."

"What do you mean?" Karina suddenly became curious, "This is not magic, but science?"

"It depends on how you define science and magic." Su Yu smiled and waved his hands. He was not interested in continuing to popularize science for Karina, but changed the topic and got on the right track, "Okay Now, Jack, tell me about the Sea God's Scepter?"

"Okay," Jack nodded, "Actually, I just found out about it. Henry came to me and said that the Poseidon Scepter can save Will. I wanted to go there too, but I didn't know how to find it. Then there is Miss Karina, she told me that she has a way to find the Sea God Scepter."

"Oh?" Su Yu turned his head to Karina, and asked knowingly, "Can you find the Sea God's Scepter?"

"Yes," Karina raised the pocket watch in her hand and said, "This watch is exactly the same as the time in London. I can use it to calculate the horizon latitude and then determine the longitude, so that I can Determine our precise position on the sea, only in this way can we find the Sea God's Scepter according to the map."

"Eh...Although I don't understand much," Jack asked, "but I always think what she said makes sense."

"Yes, what she said is indeed good," Su Yu nodded and said, "Calculate your own latitude through the prime meridian of the Greenwich Observatory in London, and then use the position of the sun in the sky to roughly confirm your longitude, so that It is indeed possible to roughly estimate our latitude and longitude, and then determine our location."

Speaking of this, Su Yu paused, looked at Karina who had a surprised expression on her face, smiled and said, "However, we don't need to be so troublesome."

"You also have to know astronomy and chronometry?" Karina asked in surprise, and then realized the meaning of Su Yu's words, and asked again quickly, "What does this mean? What do you mean you don't have to be so troublesome? Don't you still Is there an easier way?"

"Of course, Miss Karina," Su Yu said with a smile, "compared to most people of your age, you are already at the top of science, but, I believe, the next scene It may have special meaning to you, so I suggest that you better hold the shoulder of the young man next to you first."

Of course, Su Yu's words were not without reason.

At this time, the theory that the earth is round has been accepted by most people in this world.

But, of course, no one has ever seen the whole of Earth.

Of course Su Yu understood how much impact the following scene would have on Karina.

Coupled with the fact that the boy Henry on the side looked a little pitiful when no one paid attention to him, Su Yu also planned to be a matchmaker once, and pushed the two of them together.

"What... what?" Before Henry could react, he was hinted by Jack's eyes, and then pushed over, subconsciously hugging Karina.

"Okay, next, it's time to witness the miracle," Su Yu didn't wait for Karina to react, and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, so Karina twisted subconsciously, Stayed in Henry's arms.

"On the way home, project the earth model to show where we are now," Su Yu ordered to his artificial intelligence, "Just project it in front of us."

"Projecting...the projection has been completed." As soon as the voice fell on the way home, a complete projection of the earth model also appeared in the middle of the crowd.

"This is... the earth," Su Yu put his hand on the projection, picked it up, stretched it with both hands, and then pushed it to Karina and Henry on the side, "The red dot on it, That's where we are."

"This is..." Karina subconsciously caught the flying earth model, but she didn't feel any touch in her hands.

This was a holographic projection, and it stopped slowly before reaching Karina's subconsciously stretched out hand, suspended in the air.

"This is...Earth?" Karina murmured, "Our...planet? The planet we're on?"

She stretched out her hand to touch the earth, and she almost understood how to operate it with just two touches. She tapped on it and began to slide left and right, her face full of surprise.

"Of course," Su Yu nodded, "This is the planet we are on now, Earth."

"It's incredible!" Henry exclaimed.

Jack wasn't surprised at all.

After all, Su Yu has already taken him and Angelica to space...

Even now, there is a globe in Jack's captain's cabin!
"Is this magic?" Karina asked. "I mean, this invisible thing, and this model of the earth, how did you do it?"

"Science is science to me, and magic to you," Su Yu said with a smile, "so why did I ask you before, what do you think is the definition of science and magic? When science develops to you When you don’t understand it at all, then science is magic to you, that is, theology.”

"You mean, we can use the power of science to do all this in the future?" Karina immediately grasped the information in Su Yu's words.

"Of course," Su Yu nodded, "However, it will take a long time... a long time later."

"Okay, I'm not here to give you a popular science lecture, Miss Karina." Seeing that Karina still didn't understand and wanted to ask again, Su Yu shook his head and didn't intend to continue, "I The purpose this time is the Sea God Scepter, so, tell me, where is it?"

"In this book," Karina handed the book in her hand to Su Yu, "according to the guidance of the constellations, I can find the location of the Sea God Trident."

"Okay," Su Yu flipped through the books above, raised his head and said, "Then let's get ready to go."

"What?" Karina asked in surprise, "However, it's not night yet, and I still can't find out the exact location of the Seagod Trident through the guidance of the constellations, even with our current location." We can’t find the precise latitude and longitude?”

"Miss Karina," Su Yu said with a smile, "I have to repeat that sentence again, science can far exceed your imagination!"

　Well, the world of Pirates of the Caribbean is coming to an end, guess where the next world will be?
