Gao Wen's gaze moved back and forth on that page several times before finally suppressing the urge to vomit in his mind.
This Grand Duke Wilde who was six hundred years ago turned out to be Govin Cecile's brain fan ... This gives Govin, who now bears the identity of Govin Cecile, a sense of embarrassment for no reason.
Then he continued to look down and watched how the ancient nobleman who took the role of "explorer" described his series of preparations for this adventure-
"... After making up my mind, I started to build a large ship that was adequate to deal with this danger-it was not easy. It is well known that since the storm believers suddenly went crazy, stole or hacked all the sea ships and escaped After going to the sea, there has been a decent 'navigation' in the human world that has not been carried out for nearly a century. There is no pilot who can challenge the ocean, and no one knows how to build a sea boat ...
"I went to ask a dwarf friend that I met in my early years. It is said that the dwarf kingdom still has some techniques for sailing in safer waters. At least they know how to build a ship. My friend can help find a shipbuilding craftsman. In addition, I also know two sea elves-they are not interested in things on land, but they are very interested in my magic gems, at a few gems as the price tag, they promise to be my pilot ...
"As this magnificent (and it may take a long time) shipbuilding plan proceed, I also took the time to go to the Southland-to visit the contemporary Grand Duke Cecil. I had a silver lining and wanted to see Cecil Does the family still keep the record of Duke Gaowen ’s voyage, but I am also ready to go empty-handed, because it is clear that Gaowen Cecile one hundred years ago did not want too many people to know his adventures Experience, otherwise he does not need to erase those clues ...
"It turns out that my guess is correct-the descendants of the Cecil family know nothing about their great-grandfather's voyage a century ago, and Grand Duke Cecil is hearing about my voyage plan and about Sear's mysterious voyage's intelligence also showed a certain amount of worry. Obviously he thought that it was just a non-evident folk talk, and that I was joking about my own safety ... but our communication is still very pleasant, Cypriot The Cyr family is a respectable family. There is no doubt about it. After discovering that my determination has been determined, they chose to bless me.
"After visiting the tomb of Gavin Cecil and paying tribute and mulled wine, I returned to my adventure preparation ..."
Gao Wen quickly skipped this part and the subsequent large sections of records about shipbuilding and recruitment of sailors. His eyes swept line by line on the neat handwritten text. Modil Wilde's life experience was as fast as He flew through his mind as quickly as a movie—until he entered Modil's voyage, his speed slowed down suddenly.
This is the part he cares most about.
The centuries-old book pages record everything that Modil Wilde experienced after entering the sea:
"... x month x day, after a long preparation and careful planning, the" Adventure "finally set off on a sunny summer day. We set off from the east coast and followed the sea elf pilot ’s suggestion, first Sail a short distance south along the coastline and then further east, which can minimize the early entry into the storm area-although I am confident in the protective magic and magic perception system that I have designed by myself, I ca n’t take the sailors Adventure of life, I decided to follow the advice of the pilot as much as possible ...
"X month x day, a day worth recording!
"Not long after we started to adjust the course to the east, we witnessed a" disordered turbulence "far away, and the storm cloud wall, which could almost connect to the sky, rose into the air, instantly causing a terrible giant wave to the entire sea surface. Between the storm and the huge waves, there is a network-like energy lightning. Each flash contains the power that makes a powerful magician like me frightened, and this entire cloud wall is seemingly slow but difficult to avoid. Moving at speed, I have never seen a similar scene in my life!
"Some sailors were terrified and began to kneel on the deck to pray for their gods, but soon the first officer succeeded in reviving the order-the first officer was a trusted retired officer, and I am thankful that he pulled him on The ship. It did n’t take long for the sea elf who was the pilot to announce the safety of the road ahead. The expedition ship was at a safer distance, and the terrible storm was moving away from us ...
"The crew calmed down, and I had the opportunity to observe the storm from such a perfect distance-I had to record all its characteristics.
"Disordered turbulence is not a simple giant wave or tsunami, nor a simple energy storm, but like a complex system formed by the two. After observation, I think that the cloud wall connecting the sky dome and constantly releasing energy lightning should be The "pillar" and "power" of the entire system. Its energy fluctuations cause the water-rich atmosphere above the sea to resonate. At the same time, I also feel that its bottom is connected to the whole body of water, which seems to be "ocean". The highly enriched element carrier played a role similar to the "polar focus" in the magic array, giving the energy in the atmosphere a turbulent vent, and then creating such a terrible cloud wall ...
"This may be why terrible disordered turbulence occurs on the ocean, but not on land?
"In addition, the naked eye can see the phenomenon of cloud tearing and floating light on the top of the cloud wall. Above the area where the storm is strong, you can also observe the luminescence phenomenon that is different from the energy flash in the cloud wall. Like a piece of connected 'curtain', it will slowly change as the cloud wall moves ... they seem to be located in extremely high places, the scale may be larger than imagined ...
"In some magical works handed down in ancient times, the scholars of Gondor divided the atmosphere into several layers such as the magic static boundary layer, the turbulent layer, and the steady state limit layer. When I saw the scene on the top of the cloud wall, I couldn't help it. I live in association ... The disordered turbulence in the sea is so strong that it has exceeded human cognition of the magical environment, so is it some kind of "leakage" from a higher atmosphere? It was the magic of the turbulent layer that penetrated the protection formed by the near-Earth magnetic field, which created such a terrible phenomenon in the static boundary layer ... This is a phenomenon worth recording and studying.
"The sea is full of secrets and dangerous.
"Fortunately, the induction device I designed works well-the beam in the crystal ball is pointing precisely at the storm in the distance, which proves that it can easily sense the presence of disordered turbulence at a long distance. , This helps the expedition ship to evade those stormy seas in advance ... "
While reading these precious words, Gao Wen frowned from time to time, or nodded slightly. He even took a draft paper from the side and wrote on it what he thought of at any time.
Undoubtedly, "Modier Travels" is a treasure trove. Its most precious content is not those thrilling and bizarre adventure stories, but the experience and knowledge recorded by Modil Wilder during the adventure, and his knowledge! !
In the chapter of "Sail out", Modil Wilde's record and conjecture of disordered turbulence is such a significant thing. Now that the first phase of the Northport project has been successfully completed, Byron is working hard to explore the oceans in the next step. The knowledge left by Modier will undoubtedly bring great help to the technical staff there, and the significance of this knowledge More than that--
Modier also wrote his conjecture about the causes of disordered turbulence and his understanding of the layered structure of the atmosphere, and accompanied by valuable first observation data, for researchers such as Gao Wen and Kamel, this even Help them crack the mystery of the entire planet!
Gao Wen is like a serious student studying this travel note in detail, taking every experience and experience in it as a source of knowledge to understand and analyze, and Modil Wilder ’s adventure also continues in the text circulation Moving forward-just like almost all adventurers, after experiencing the initial smooth sailing, he finally began to encounter real trouble.
After entering the distant sea, the mysterious ocean showed Modil and his crew the real danger—
"X month x day, a terrible storm hit us.
"The induction device played a certain role. In the short period before the storm quickly took shape, it began to frantically warn and try to point out the direction of the danger. However, this storm was brewing above our heads-in the expedition ship Just above the sky, the atmosphere was torn, high-energy reactions fell from the sky, and the entire sea quickly entered a state of recharge. We are all growing 'cloud walls' in all directions, and the speed is amazing.
"When I realized what the chaotic reaction of the induction device meant, everything was too late-the first officer tried to direct the sailors to speed up the ship with a view to rushing out of the area that was being 'charged' before the cloud wall closed. The huge lightning quickly slammed on the energy shield above our heads. In the ensuing hours, the Adventurer was loaded into a manic magic crucible, and the whole ocean boiled, And try to kill the poor creatures in this little ship.
"The sailors did not desperately pray to the gods this time-they no longer have this idle time. In short, the first officer organized as many people as possible to maintain the stability of the ship and the operation of the magic system. I tried my best to ensure the shield. Do n’t be struck by lightning in the turbulence, everything is like a nightmare ...
"Of course, since I can leave this note, at least one thing is explained: at least I am still alive.
"Yes, this is the end of the storm-I survived, alone.
"Now I am thrown on a vast ocean, accompanied by only a few pieces of broken junk boards and a few wooden barrels that are gradually starting to enter the water. The" Adventer "disappeared. At the last moment, I saw it with my own eyes I was swallowed by the waves, and of course my crew could not be spared-the two sea elf navigators might survive, they could dive into the seabed to take refuge, but now it is obviously impossible for me to join them ... In the wind and waves, God knows me How far it has floated.
"Guilty entangled, I now have to bear the heavy pressure brought by dozens of souls, although before the departure, everyone signed a life and death contract, but I am not here to bring them to die ......
"It's just that it's useless to say now, I think I have to find a way to survive, otherwise who will appease and compensate the crew members' family members? The noble's responsibility does not allow me to escape in this situation ...
"I used magic to collect the floating wood and big barrels, and reluctantly shaped them into a crappy dinghy, no nails, no ropes, this humble place is entirely dependent on magic to connect as a whole, the problem of fresh water It can also be solved with ice spells, food ... I hope the fish in the distant sea are not too difficult to swallow.
"As a powerful magician, if you don't encounter" disordered turbulence ", survival in this ocean is not a problem in itself. The real problem is ... how to return to the correct route and how to move quickly and effectively Yourself.
"After all, even the legendary strongman can't rely on flying to fly all the way from the far sea back to the mainland, but rely on the power of creating wind and waves to propel this boat ... God knows how long I need to see the land.
"Maybe before that I was buried in the next disordered turbulence ...
"X month x day ... Through skills in the astrological field, I finally succeeded in confirming my approximate position and current course. The conclusion is surprising and unsettling ... The storm made me deviate greatly from the original route. It is now located in the north of the original route, and is still drifting towards the northwest, which means that I am farther and farther away from the original goal, and I am not in the right direction to return to the mainland ...
"In this direction, I have not encountered the legendary" sea monsters ", nor have I met the stormists who had gone away a century ago and were hiding somewhere in the ocean.
"To be honest, now I would rather meet those dangerous dark believers ...
"It ’s a very difficult thing to get back to the right course, because I found astrology on the ocean is not so easy to use-the magical environment here is interfering with my observation of the starry sky, and I lack a more accurate 'astrolabe' For reference, I confirmed my position as much as possible, calibrated the direction, and sailed towards the direction of returning to the mainland, but I knew very well-I was completely lost.
"This vast and endless sea will swallow me up.
"But I will still work hard.
"X month x day ... there is almost no change in the field of vision. The only good news is that I am still alive and not swallowed by 'disordered turbulence'-in such a long time, I have encountered three disordered turbulences, but every I was passing through the safety distance very thrillingly, looking at the cloud walls and energy storms at a distance from the safety distance. I really doubt whether this is a luck or a curse ...
"But no matter what, I will still record in detail everything I have observed-anyway, there is nothing else to do now.
"... x x x x, still trek, no continents or islands appear, but I suspect that I may still be drifting north, because ... I start to feel that the surroundings are getting colder and colder.
"X month x day, floating icebergs appeared in the field of vision. I am near the northern part of the mainland? Is it near the Principality of Saint Dragon? This is the most optimistic possibility I can think of. These days I have been sailing westward, also It may be northwest, and the only thing you can count on in this direction is the icy coastline in the northern part of the mainland ... I hope there is still some good luck left ...
"X month x day, I don't know how to write today's record, I ... as an adventurer, well, even a crappy adventurer, I never thought of myself ...
"Well, in short, I saw a dragon.
"A blue dragon flying across the sky in the distance, really ..."
