Master of Thermodynamics

Fortunately, because there was only one big wave, the ice on the hull greatly enhanced the stability, and the steel keel strengthened the hull structure, the damage to the Odin was much smaller than expected.

The bow mast, which withstood the most violent impact, broke, but this is not a big problem. The mast is gone if it is gone. Anyway, the power of the Odin is not the sail, but the Heat engine.

There were many damages on the first deck, but they were not serious, and it was easy to repair. The cabin was seriously flooded, messy, and many things were scrapped. Cleaning up requires a lot of manpower and will take a lot of time.

As for casualties, as many as 16 people were slightly injured, 6 people were seriously injured, and one person...unfortunately missing.

The missing person was a sailor. He was working on the deck when the huge wave topped and was washed into the sea by the raging flood.

Renault couldn't even care about the body of the butterfly fish. He decisively dispatched all the magic boats to search the nearby sea. He himself was in action and searched underwater for several hours.

Unfortunately, nothing was found, and the man named "Neil" just disappeared into the vast ocean.

This is the first loss of personnel experienced by Renault.

This will definitely not be the last case. In the foreseeable future, more people will fall on their posts. Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them as "sacrifice", or even to die for him.

Next, the Odin temporarily organized a short sea burial ceremony, which was presided over by Renault himself.

After he gave a brief speech, several sailors packed part of Neil's relics in a small wooden box. Then, under the attention of the sailors, the wooden box was thrown into the sea, and the waves drifted away.

This approach can be understood as replacing "remains" with "remains", or it can be understood as "using a decent-looking means" to clean up unused items.

Renault prefers the latter. According to his understanding, the so-called "sea burial ceremony" essentially uses a superficially tender way to achieve the purpose of "throwing corpses on the spot."

But Renault does not resist this approach, on the contrary, as an absolute pragmatist, he thinks it is necessary.

During the voyage, if there is an accidental death, the space on the sailboat is limited and the necessary conditions are not available. It is impossible to preserve the corpse for a long time. Once the temperature is higher, the corpse will decay.

Would you like to be on the same boat with a stinking corpse?

A fool is willing.

The practice of keeping the corpse will not only greatly deteriorate the living environment, but may also lead to certain catastrophic consequences, such as spreading germs or causing plague.

Therefore, throwing the corpse on the spot at the first time is the most appropriate method.

For the benefit of the living, there is no need to care about the face of the dead, anyway, the dead neither need it nor care.

As for the ceremony itself, Renault believes that this is essentially a way of alleviating the "guilt of the body thrower."

You see, everyone sincerely expressed their nostalgia for the deceased during the ceremony, as well as the respect from the heart. Don’t blame us for abandoning the corpse of the deceased...

Anyway, it’s already cold, even if the corpse is gnawed clean by some sea fish or monster, it won’t hurt...

Therefore, the real function of the ritual called comforting the dead is to comfort the living.

Ridiculous?

Human nature is so ridiculous!

Of course, this kind of dark and malicious speculation is just Renault's thoughts, and other people don't think so.

Not only that, Renault's series of actions caused the morale that had become somewhat low due to the encounter with the Warcraft-class sea monster, regained its high state, and even became almost overwhelming.

The group of turtles agreed that Neil's death was a death full of honor.

Lord Lord personally participated in the search and rescue, isn't this not enough honor?

The lord himself presided over the funeral for him. Isn't it an honor?

Neil, it's worth the death!

Everyone still thought about it, if there was misfortune in themselves, would Lord Lord do the same?

of course!

Thinking of knowing with his ass, the benevolent and great Lord Lord will definitely do what he has done for Neil again intact.

What's more, at the ceremony, the lord also announced in person that Neal's family will receive a one-time pension of 20 Kinnars, and his children will receive a special subsidy from the Office of Government Affairs every month.

And, until you reach 16 years old!

Moreover, as a martyr who died in the line of duty, Neal’s family members will be given priority to be hired in a factory under the Office of Government Affairs.

See how nice the Lord Lord said, "Martyr", the hapless Neil fell into the sea and drowned. He turned into a martyr.

The sailors are very clear. In fact, these words are not meant for Neil. Neil is so dead that he can no longer die, and the cold can no longer be cold. How can he hear it?

This is clearly for everyone.

Tsk tsk, 20 Kinnar's pension, the lord really deserves to be the most generous lord in the world, Neil's family has made a fortune...

Although I don’t know what the special subsidy is, but according to the usual style of the lord, this must be a very practical and very generous gift. This is really a monthly gift...

It's so enviable.

Neil, it's worth the death!

After Renault read out the pension policy, he was extremely satisfied to see that everyone had become motivated like ten pipes of blood.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, these turtles are simply the cutest group of people. 20 kinnals can buy a life. It's really too cheap. The fleet can go out to sea and earn kinnals through trade. Buy hundreds of lives...

There are proverbs on the earth, and since ancient times, the routines cannot be retained. Only benefits are moving. This sentence is indeed the most reasonable saying.

As long as you are willing to pay enough benefits, you can reap a reputation for generosity and the loyalty of countless people!

On the breezy deck, Renault stared at the "giant" mana spar that was three times larger than his head, and smiled so that his eyes were narrowed. This is the biggest demon he has brushed since he passed through. crystal.

Yes, huge!

Renault is sure that the magic crystal with such an amazing size is definitely a rare treasure in decades.

He also clearly sensed that in addition to the high concentration of magic energy, the magic crystal also contained a lot of water.

Make a big profit!

This amazingly high-quality super-grade magic crystal, even if it bids millions of Kinnars, there are a lot of people vying to bid.

But Renault will not sell.

What a joke, this is a magic crystal produced by a Warcraft-level sea monster!

Ordinary transcendents can only give food to the butterfly fish, and it is difficult for the more powerful Upaniers to kill the butterfly fish. This cunning and insidious beast will definitely run faster than a rabbit when encountering a powerful enemy. In the marine environment, no one really can catch it.

If Renault hadn't deliberately thrown himself into the net, I am afraid that he would have no choice but to take the butterfly fish.

In addition to this magic crystal, his magical power and mental power level both skyrocketed by nearly 30%, which can be called rapid progress. If you use elemental meditation and practice step by step, it will take at least 5 years to accumulate so much magical power.

At this time, on the sea not far away, the iceberg made by Renault's bare hands had been "removed". The body of the butterfly fish was completely exposed, and dozens of sailors were working hard around the body.

They will be responsible for decomposing the body of the butterfly fish, and the magic crystal in Renault's hand is the first result of their labor.

The butterfly fish is more than 30 meters long and weighs a terrifying 200 tons. The variety of materials that can be obtained from it is bound to be astonishing. This is definitely a huge gain.

On the sea farther away, 8 magic boats are constantly shuttled in the waves. Their task is to collect the flying fish hunted by the lord.

Renault killed more than 6,000 flying fish, with a total weight of at least 300 tons. These flying fish were enough for sailors to stay busy for a long time.
