The Defeated Dragon

"His Highness, can you and me take your sister with you when you and Mr. Acut go to explore the New Islands?" Ruth asked with wide, lovely eyes.

Lucy hurriedly scolded: "Ruth, don't make rude requests to your highness!"

Although Ruth was a little bold, she didn't dare to resist her sister. She could only apologize and bow to Liszt. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Ruth is too reckless, and I ask for your forgiveness."

Liszt waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, Lucy, Ruth, if your teacher Acut doesn't refuse, it's OK to bring you." Two lovely little lollies accompanied each other during the sailing journey, but it was also one A delightful and interesting thing, not to mention they can control the magic table.

Therefore, from the investigation of Dragon Turtle Island's "How the Dragon Turtle Individual Changed into a Lightning Dragon Turtle" project, Acut soon agreed to the request of the two sisters.

Under Liszt's Majesty, she has accepted Lucy and Ruth as her magical apprentices. The former teacher of the twins, Chris Truth, has no objection at all, and even envious of the twins, who can listen at any time. Teachings of the Magister.

of course.

Kris actually thinks too much. Acut is nominally a twin teacher, but she has no idea of ​​teaching in private. She only likes to study magic herself, or assigns some research tasks to magicians, and does not like to communicate with others, let alone teach.

The magic wizard comes to teach magic apprentices, it is really too small to use, any ordinary magician of the magic guild can complete the teaching.

"Thank you teacher, your highness." The twins cheered excitedly.

Liszt nodded: "Go and pack up your salute, we will leave at any time." He and Ah Kei's sailing trips are all about leaving, without any muddled water.

At this time.

In a jade box hung on the roof, Nami's weak voice called: "Mum."

It flew out of the box and landed on Akey's palm, looking at Akey poorly. These days, I did not go out to work, but stayed in the laboratory waiting for A Ke's return, seeking the care of the contract owner. At this time, his expression was stubborn, and he was still playing against the obstacles to evolution.

Ah Ke holds Nami in his palm and smiles. "Relax Nami, Ah Ke will take you with us. Let's go to the brother's newly discovered islands and explore the new world."

"Mumbling." Nami nodded Aki's fingers with her head and slept satisfactorily.

A day later.

Liszt arranged the affairs around him, and Acu also handed over his busy magic experiments one by one, and then set off for the New Islands.

Bang!

Wow!

"The sea, let's go!" The twins stood on the bow of the ship, yelling cheerfully.

Before coming to Heima Island, they were serf children in the countryside of the Eagle Kingdom. They had never seen the sea in their lives.

When coming to Heima Island to live, sailing is a common occurrence. I have already overcome my fear of the sea, but I dare not go to the sea to swim.

Filled with fruits, vegetables, potions, and other supplies, the Blaze sailed through the wind and waves along the planned navigation route at a speed of up to 500 kilometers per hour.

The distance between the New Islands and Heima Island is about 4,000 kilometers. According to the data of the earth, it is probably the Bohai Sea in the northernmost part of China and the South China Sea in the southernmost part.

The average speed of the palace sailing boat is about 10 knots, which is 18 kilometers per hour. It can sail up to 400 kilometers a day. The sapphire family relied on the court speedboat to dominate the Bibo Sea, but the sea has many headwinds and windless voyages, so at most 200 kilometers a day.

From Heima Island to the New Islands, it takes only 20 days for the court express sailing to arrive. If it is changed to a merchant ship with a speed of 3 knots, it may take two months, or the navigation is smooth.

but.

For the Flame, there is no such thing as upwind, downwind, and no wind. Ah Ke controls the waterspout to drive directly to the sea. Four hours later, he had come to the place recorded on the chart, and then Liszt called out the little fire dragon Leo and flew into the blue sky and white clouds to search for the land.

The search was smooth, and it took only fifteen minutes to find the island. This is why the accuracy of the navigation chart is increasing.

Acut's research on "astrology" has been going on for a long time, and combined with telescope technology, he has developed a set of devices that can measure the angle between the sun or other stars and sea and ground planes. Way "to direct device applications.

After seeing this device, Liszt snatched the naming right directly: "Just call it the sextant!" In fact, it is the sextant of the other world.

With the sextant, the position of the vessel can be measured more accurately during navigation.

Basically, the situation of getting lost when sailing is basically cut off. From the flame-led fleet, the day and night sextants are used. Only on cloudy days, the compass-like device of the nautical compass is fixed. Fifteen degrees northwest.

There is no theoretical explanation as to why this is going in this direction.

"Ake, start at 195 degrees, the island is ahead!" After finding the island, Liszt immediately contacted Ake. As for "195 degrees", it was invented by Liszt. He combined the navigation compass to divide the azimuth coordinates into 360 degrees. , Clearly indicate each direction.

195 degrees is a little bit southwest.

This invention is derived from the "Jedi survival: Battle Royale" game he played on the earth, which has a 360-degree direction instruction, which is very convenient to remind the teammates of the enemy's position.

But we haven't waited for the Flame to approach the island.

Lucy and Ruth shouted out loudly: "His Royal Highness, Teacher, and Magic Terrace have heard the news that Discovery has encountered an unknown whirlpool and is being swallowed by the whirlpool, calling for help!"

A moment immediately said: "Coordinates, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com position!"

When the twins reported the location of the Discovery, the Flame immediately reversed its direction and rushed towards the sea where the Discovery was located. Communication on the Magic Channel was maintained along the way, and Discovery was still struggling. The Discovery and Opportunity were far away and could not be rescued at all. They could only wait for the Flame.

It's just a pity that when A-Ke kept correcting her position and finally rushed to the vicinity of the great vortex, the signal of the Discovery had disappeared from the magic table.

"His Royal Highness, Teacher ..." Lucy said sadly, "No signal from Discovery's Magic Tower could be found."

Liszt stepped onto the fire's bow deck, feeling a bit bad, but still comforted himself: "Sea adventures will inevitably encounter accidents. They are the pioneers of the founding of the country, and the new country will not forget their credit." Lift up and look at the big vortex that seems to be swallowed up by heaven and earth.

There is a moment to control the waterspout, and the Flame slowly moved closer to the large vortex.

This is a huge vortex with no visible margins. Even the Dingshui Shenzhu cannot affect its operation. The sea surface of the vortex is tilted all the way to the distant center point. It is dark and deep, and it is almost impossible to see how deep the sea is.
