Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 92: Family's Afterglow

   Ivan pinched the letter sent by Duncan Douglas, president of the Royal Society of Medicine, and was slightly surprised at first.

   If what I invented is only a method or medicine to treat common diseases, it is definitely not worth the eagerness of such a big man to send a personal letter.

   But when this method or medicine can bring great convenience to the maritime industry, or more accurately, it can create huge wealth more efficiently, the meaning is completely different.

  All the experience comes from Aiwen, who is from the book of the previous life, and still somewhat underestimated the value of the several prevention and treatment methods provided by him!

   He didn't know that, before discovering the pathogenic principle of scurvy, no matter in his previous life or in this life, every ocean exploration voyage would suffer unimaginable non-combat attrition due to this terrible disease.

   What's more, the sea area of ​​this world is much wider than that of the earth in the previous life, and nine out of ten deaths of an ocean-going exploration fleet and even the annihilation of the entire army occurred more than once. Even if a powerful transcendent is not divorced from the essence of human beings, it can only slow down the disease and cannot be completely immune.

   This time.

   Through repeated tests, the Medical Association has confirmed that several methods provided by Aiwen have excellent effects on patients suffering from scurvy. In particular, its convenient preparation method and storage durability are simply a boon to ocean navigation.

   It is already foreseeable that with the promotion of these several methods, longer exploration distances, longer navigation radius, and greater profits are already beckoning to the kingdom!

   In summary, the birth of this letterhead and the issuance of the "Hippo Clarke Class II Medal".

   In fact, the Medical Association itself has been studying the causes of scurvy, but it does not have more knowledge of vitamin C as a key element in the microcosm.

   If it weren't for the several methods provided by Ivan, it would only be more practical and able to solve the problem in a targeted manner, but there is no such key micronutrient as vitamin C.

   Otherwise, a first-class medal or even a special medal is not a problem!

   Aiwen estimated that if the kingdom gains enough benefits from the ocean voyages, the Navy Department or even Her Majesty the Queen may give him a second award. After all, this is a precedent.

   "Ahem, you can't be too greedy. This is already a surprise, not bad."

   This gain has exceeded Aiwen's initial expectations. The fledgling teenagers in the past did not realize the value of the so-called "common sense" in their minds, and did not pay too much attention to it.

   But when the natives of this world gave strong and true feedback, Ivan instantly realized that he almost missed a good opportunity for fame and fortune.

   After all, if you want to develop in an official organization, of course, the more things like fame, the better. Not only is it a passport to enter the upper class, but for many extraordinary roads, fame or legend itself can be linked to power.

   The most typical example is the "titled knight" of the top rank of the knight road. The more the title spreads, the louder the reputation, the greater the benefits the knight can get from it.

   Aiwen knows that these methods to prevent and treat scurvy are difficult to benefit individuals, but they are of great significance to an organization or country. As long as the first mover advantage of four to five years is used well before the knowledge is completely diffused, huge benefits can be obtained.

   With the spread of knowledge, one's own fame will also reach new heights, at least in ocean-going ships, colonies, and coastal areas.

   People often fear the strong with power, but only respect for scholars with knowledge. At that time, he was really aura added.

   Therefore, I also look forward to the "Hippo Clarke Class II Medal" mentioned in the letter.

  ......

   The small auditorium for short-term theoretical courses.

  "The era of great navigation began 183 years ago and was initiated by the Kingdom of Hilius, which is now the most powerful nation in sea power.

   Some historians define that year as the first year of the "Haiyuan Calendar".

   Although the beliefs and cultures of various countries have attached different importance to ocean exploration, this calendar has not been used in the old continent, but it is still extremely influential in coastal countries and is widely adopted by colonies of various countries. "

   On the podium, a burly middle-aged man with a big nose and gray hair was talking about the history of mainland navigation.

   Today, Professor Mitchellson, who teaches navigation knowledge, is not only a Ph.D. in navigation theory with extensive knowledge, but also a great navigator who has experienced many battles. He has even reached the end of the world known to mankind-the northernmost "eternal white land" and returned safely.

   Whether it is theory or practice, he is a national treasure in the kingdom. If it were not for the Royal Naval Academy, ordinary people would listen to his legends at most, and they would not even have to think about listening to him.

   "At that time, we humans conquered the treasure sea in the south for the first time, crossed the harsh celestial phenomena and defeated the violent ocean currents and finally discovered the southern continent.

  Of course, the first ten years have nothing to do with our Kingdom of Falitis or even the Tulip Alliance. It wasn't until the earliest explorers of the Kingdom of Ilya discovered a new route to the southern continent that the Tulip Alliance countries ushered in a turning point.

   It is with the heroic pioneering spirit of the explorers that we have huge interests in the southern continent. "

   At this time, Professor Mitchellson glanced down at the list of students on the table, and unexpectedly found a familiar surname. As a Dr. Navigator and a great navigator, he cherishes every adventurer who has made outstanding contributions in human history, no matter which country he belongs to!

   did not hesitate.

   "Who is Mr. Irwin Garriott?" The professor's voice was loud and clear, and it reached the ears of every student present.

   "Professor, I am." Aiwen stood up at the front row, thinking that the professor would ask questions in class.

  Professor Mitchellson stared at him for a while and confirmed that Ivan’s brown hair and dark eyes are very niche appearance ~www.ltnovel.com~ but did not ask him questions, instead turned to the students present and said:

   "Sirs, we are very fortunate to learn today with the descendants of a great adventurer of that era.

   I just said that Mr. Galliot’s ancestor was one of the adventurers who made outstanding contributions in the exploration of the Southern Continent. I hope that Mr. Galliot and everyone here can inherit this spirit and discover a broader world for human civilization.

   Okay, please sit down. "

   Tulips recognize each other's titles and migrate normally. The professor did not feel wrong to the appearance of the descendants of Galiotes who belonged to Ilya in Falettis.

  "After nearly two hundred years of development, the Southern Continent has become a very mature colony. Although our Falitis progress is a bit late, the colony area can also be ranked among the top five sea power countries.

   It also occupies 30% of the excellent timber supply area in Baoshu Bay, and through the replacement of land in the New World, the actual influence has been ranked in the top three in the southern continent.

  ...New World...

   Indigenous wizards dominated by voodoo, deep-rooted primitive gods, natural spirits, and wandering monsters are all obstacles to the continued development of mankind. I hope that your generation can complete the pioneering work of the New World, make contributions and even obtain your own fief. "

Professor   's teaching is still going on. For him, it is just a small episode and a means of teaching, but for Aiwen it touches deeply.

  The family has been shattered for five years, but the afterglow of the family has been remembered thousands of miles away from the homeland and continues to bloom...

   There is something surging in his heart for a long time, but it turns into one sentence in the end:

   "Heh, this is probably going down in history."
