Moon star calendar 749 years, the month of lingering winter.

Port of Odin.

"set sail!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

The loud siren sound spread all over Pier 11 in an instant.

A brand-new 1500-ton trimaran shook slightly, and the stern propeller slowly rotated, pushing the huge metal hull away from the dock.

It has a resounding name-Xuelong.

On the dock, the black crowd saw off, waving their right hand in unison.

Dagama, a researcher at the Institute of Geology and an extraordinary person in the water system, is standing in his own cabin, searching through the transparent porthole glass over and over the crowd, trying to find the figure of his family.

However, too many people saw off.

In the crowd, not only the family members of all the crew members, but also more than half of the high-level military and political leaders of Hai Chao led, the wide wharf was crowded with water, and his family was completely submerged in the crowd.

This makes Da Gamma feel disappointed.

Especially this long voyage will last a long time.

"It's the first time that I have been sent off by so many big people. I have to say, this is really a wonderful experience... It makes me feel that I also seem to be an important person..."

Da Gama's roommate said with a smile.

Da Gama couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Hey, Lord Columbus, they are all coming for Lord Lord...If there is no Lord Lord in this'Arctic Scientific Expedition Team', we will only see a few big bosses in the research and development system, Miss Archon and the army. High-level Fang definitely has no time to come..."

"Oh, Lord Dagama, can't you let me have more beautiful dreams?" Columbus said dissatisfied. "Sometimes, telling the truth is not a popular behavior. Lies are often easier to be accepted... …"

As he was talking, he suddenly laughed.

Now, the "dissatisfaction" on Columbus's face is all pretended.

Da Gama also smiled, then he narrowed his smile and said with a serious face:

"My Excellency Columbus, thank you for your comfort, I feel much better now."

Columbus smiled and waved his hand:

"Everyone is sitting in the same boat, it is right to help each other!"

Da Gama blinked, with a strange tone in his tone:

"I have to say that a ship that is full of extraordinary people is rare, let alone the captain of the'Snow Dragon', who is still the world's strongest man... I think there will be a lot in the future. Within a year, it won’t appear again..."

"Yes!"

Columbus nodded in agreement:

"Only our Haichao leader can come up with this kind of lineup... However, this inspection is too dangerous. The perpetually frozen snowfield is not a place where anyone can go, even the extraordinary. I can't guarantee that I can come back alive."

This sentence made this small cabin silent for a moment.

Da Gama asked suddenly:

"Your Excellency Columbus, since this voyage is so dangerous, why did you choose to participate in this polar expedition?"

Columbus smiled slightly:

"Because Lord Lord needs it!"

After a pause, a frenzy appeared on his face.

"If there is no Lord Lord, I am afraid that I will not be able to be promoted to Extraordinary in this life... So Lord Lord's will is my will!"

Da Gama nodded, and said his answer:

"It is of course the honor of every Tide leader to work for Lord Lord... However, there is another reason for me to join the Arctic scientific expedition team. I hope Lord Lord finds'lava' in the misty sea. Make a major scientific discovery and leave my name in the future geology textbook..."

Columbus suddenly admired and said:

"Your Excellency Dagama, you have lofty ideals..."

At this time, the huge hull was shocked again.

A faint wave of magical energy appeared from a certain cabin, and then quickly spread to the entire hull.

The two transcendents looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"The Snow Dragon is accelerating!"

Columbus said first.

This is not difficult to judge, because the waves outside the porthole move backwards at a significantly faster speed.

But the change is not just about faster ship speeds.

If you look at it from a distance, you can see an even stranger scene.

The posture of this catamaran when it is sailing is more like a "light gliding" on the surface of the water, rather than cutting through the waves.

If you observe carefully, you can faintly find that wherever the hull passes by, the sea water unexpectedly separates automatically, making way for the hull.

In addition, the waves provoked by the bow of the boat seemed to have been "smoothed" by some mysterious force. The white foam stirred up by the propeller at the stern was also inexplicably reduced by more than 90%, which was originally left behind. The eye-catching traces also shrank by more than half.

"I feel like it's a lot quieter in the cabin..."

Da Gamma cites another phenomenon.

This is not surprising.

The waves caused by the hull are greatly reduced, and the result is naturally "silent sailing".

Then, the two suddenly realized one thing, and blurted out at the same time:

"This scientific research vessel must have applied a new type of power engine!"

In the surprised eyes of the two, the speed of the Xuelong was getting faster and faster.

25 knots...

35 knots...

45 knots...

A few minutes later, the speed broke the astonishing 50 knots in one fell swoop, and finally stabilized at about 58 knots.

Converted into kilometers/hour, that is, 107 kilometers/hour, which is equivalent to racing on the water.

In comparison, the maximum speed of the guided missile destroyers on the earth is only between 28-32, which is only half of that of scientific research ships.

On the outside of the porthole, the billowing sea waves in the distance swept back like a sharp arrow.

"Oh my God!"

The two extraordinary men were shocked.

"I... are we flying on the surface of the water?"

Dagama asked a word that would be widely known in the future.

When this new type of ship became popular on a large scale, "flying on the water" became synonymous with them.

A magical fleet with a speed of more than 100 km/h, "flying" in groups on the sea, makes "sea transportation" no longer a symbol of "turtle speed", and makes sea travel an increasingly popular phenomenon. Favorite thing.

...

Xuelong, power cabin.

At this time, Renault was carefully looking at a silver-white rune magic equipment in front of him, and using his mental power to observe the changes in the magic sea and the sea around the hull.

Beside him, two high-level rune magicians were waiting tremblingly for Lord Lord's evaluation.

"This'magic fluid engine' is even better than I thought!"

Renault retracted his hand on the surface of the device and said in full praise:

"Adriano, Martinez, I really did not expect that you could actually come up with this way of using the'water elemental stone' to stimulate the water elemental power in the stone, and then use the power of the rune group , To transform the hull of the hull into some kind of'magic-like fluid' to reduce the resistance of sea water and increase the speed of sailing... I have to say, this is really a genius idea!"

This compliment made the faces of the two magicians smile.

Renault talked about his shortcomings as soon as his conversation changed.

"However, according to what I have just felt, the way that the'magic fluid engine' uses the'water elemental stone' is still a bit rough, and the energy use efficiency is relatively low. There is still a lot of room for improvement in this area...In addition,' There is a certain problem with the structure of the magical fluid rune. I think a more reasonable configuration can be adopted..."

As he told the story, he picked up a pen and drew on the notepad.

"... This energy node can be transformed like this... Abandon the ‘Moseley ring’ structure and adopt a ‘low magic convection’ configuration... The efficiency is enough to increase by more than 80%..."

"...And here, I think it is possible to insert a set of'Trident' magical runes to improve the efficiency of energy transmission, further optimize the smoothness of the'magic-like fluid', and reduce the friction with the seawater... …"

This general explanation made the two rune magicians convincingly nodded their heads.

"Lord Lord, your attainments in runes are amazing... If you improve the'magic fluid engine' according to your ideas, not only will the energy consumption be greatly reduced, but the speed will also be further increased..."

"Yes, this is really a wonderful idea... If the improvement plan is fully implemented, I am sure that the maximum speed of the scientific research ship will reach 75 knots or more, and even 80 knots will not be impossible..."

Renault nodded, then concluded:

"In general, this is the best invention I have seen in recent times...I think you have each ordered a this year's'Golden Odin Medal'..."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of both guys were smirked.

For ordinary people, a Golden Odin Medal means a huge bonus of 3000 Kinnars.

For the extraordinary, in addition to the bonus, a golden Odingxun also means 1,500 "honor points", which can be used to exchange all kinds of good things that make people greedy.

For the magicians, a Golden Odin Medal also means the qualification to independently lead large projects, as well as more funds and greater rights.

Adriano and Martinez are both extraordinary and magician. All the benefits will not fall. This also means that they are developed!

Renault suddenly touched his chin and murmured:

"The'Magic Fluid Engine' you invented gave me an inspiration..."

After a pause, he said something that scared the two magicians to drop their jaws.

"I think I have found a way to deal with the stormy turbulence..."
