The all-metal magical ships built by Haichaoling Shipyard all have a rigid design index—the ability to withstand small storms without sinking.

But it was just a small storm.

In the event of a medium-sized storm, even an all-metal ship, the probability of damage or even sinking is not small.

If it is a large storm, or a larger super-large storm, there is almost no possibility that the ship will survive in the face of huge waves that are dozens of meters high.

Therefore, in the event of a storm of medium and above level, the ship must enter a safe haven as soon as possible.

The urgent news from the radar cabin just now means that the Xuelong has fallen into a desperate situation.

Then what should be done?

On earth, facing the same situation, the entire ship can only wait to die.

But here is a fantasy world with magical energy, and Renault is the most prestigious mankind. He has enough means to deal with the upcoming super-large storm.

He only thought for 0.1 second, and then he had the answer.

"Aini, help me set the communicator to the ‘full frequency broadcast’ mode..."

Renault snapped his fingers and said briskly.

"Snoring~"

Adanis nodded the cat's head, stretched out a fluffy cat's claw, and tapped a few lightly on the surface of the rune board.

"beep……"

The full-frequency broadcast is connected.

Feitian Mao Xu crouched in the air, his cat's ears moved slightly.

It can be seen that it is very interested in the next words of its owner.

"Everyone, I am the captain of the Xuelong, Renault..."

Renault spoke slowly.

...

"...Captain of the Xuelong, Renault...I have a bad news, I want to tell everyone..."

Da Gama just swallowed a delicious "Melanie Cake" when he heard the broadcast.

Shocked in his heart, the cake crumbs accidentally entered the trachea.

"Ahem..."

Da Gama coughed violently.

"...A huge storm is approaching...Due to the blockage of ice floes, the Snow Dragon could not make it to'Snow Crown Island' in time..."

The broadcast briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"...I decided not to change the established course of advancement in order to avoid the storm..."

This sentence surprised Da Gama.

Lord Lord... Is this planning to stand up to a terrible storm?

Oh my god, are you crazy?

The next words on the radio made him understand Renault's plan:

"...Everyone, are you interested in playing a big game with me? I can guarantee that this must be a very novel experience!"

"Have!"

Columbus, who was sitting across from Dagama, yelled excitedly.

...

"...According to the data of the laboratory, ordinary people breathe 15,000 liters of air per day, which is about 20 kilograms by weight... The consumption of extraordinary people is almost 2.5 times that of ordinary people, which is 50 kilograms of air... Lord Lord's The data is not clear, it is roughly estimated to be 100 kg..."

"The Xuelong has a total of 28 transcendents, plus Lord Lord, Miss Adanis, and Mr. Sanshou, they need to consume at least 1.5 tons of air every day... As for the duration of the storm, there is currently no accurate data. 3 days...In other words, we have to store 4.5 tons of air, plus a 50% safety factor, maybe 7 tons is a good number..."

High-level Rune Mage, Adriano, muttered quickly.

"Hey, buddy, have you forgotten the consumption of the Heat Demon Engine? According to Lord Lord’s plan, the Xue Long will not stop, but will keep sailing at a low speed... The Heat Demon Engine needs a lot of air. Amazingly, 5 tons of air is definitely not enough, maybe 500 tons is not even enough..."

Another high-ranking rune magician, Martinez, raised an objection.

"Lord Lord said that using pure magic stones to drive the power system..." Adriano said.

"Well, this is a way." Martinez nodded, "Although this is a waste of magic stones, but the Xuelong carries enough standard magic stones, this is not a big problem..."

"The density of liquefied air is slightly smaller than that of water. We need a super pressure vessel with a volume of 8 cubic meters... It must be able to withstand the ultra-low temperature below minus 200 degrees. I think the 4.5% content of star blue iron alloy is suitable. material……"

Adriano murmured to himself, then looked at a blank-faced male transcendent standing beside him, and said:

"Oh, Lord Xiemu, your metal control system can quickly process containers. We need your help..."

"Man with facial paralysis" Xie Mou did not speak, but simply nodded.

The magician was already familiar with the opponent's temper, and immediately confessed:

"I hope it is a cylindrical container with a height of about 1.5 meters... In addition, there should be a small recess on the front to facilitate the inlay of the rune square plate... By the way, there must be a special pressure valve resistant to ultra-low temperature to release the liquid air. ..."

...

In another cabin, there is a group of extraordinary people busy.

"Everyone, our task is to make a set of'forced ventilation device'... It can expel the dirty air, but will not let the sea water in... This is the drawing drawn by the lord himself. Everyone must process at least A part...remember, use your ability as much as possible to speed up the processing speed, our time is very tight..."

First Mate Schneider yelled loudly, waving a stack of drawings.

"His Excellency Schneider, although I am an extraordinary person of the Fire Element, I am not good at fiddling with metal parts. I am afraid it is difficult to meet the requirements of the drawings..."

Schneider shrugged his shoulders:

"It's okay, no one expects you to meet the drawing requirements, otherwise the various mechanical research institutes, or those large factories, have long given you the best conditions and hired you to be the chief craftsman..."

This sentence immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Man, as long as you make it roughly the same, it doesn't matter if the error is larger, as long as the size difference is not too big... Your Excellency will be responsible for the subsequent finishing and assembly of all parts."

"I'm going to be more blunt. The reason why everyone is allowed to do these tasks is to help the evil scorpion and save a little effort... After all, it is too expensive to process metal ingots into parts that meet the requirements from scratch. It’s magical, and it takes too long..."

Another extraordinary person suddenly yelled:

"I see, what we are in charge of processing is'rough parts'..."

Schneider slapped and praised:

"That's right..."

...

The prediction of the radar cabin is correct.

Four hours later, the waves gradually got bigger, and dense snow flakes were also mixed in the squally wind.

Obviously, this is not only a huge storm, but also a terrible blizzard.

"boom!"

A big wave over 10 meters high rushed to the left bow of the catamaran fiercely. Before the wave arrived, the cold water had splashed into the sky.

However, just before hitting the hull of the ship, the wave suddenly solidified in the air, as if a **** in control of time had pressed the "time pause" button.

Suddenly, the waves broke apart and fell into the sea like a waterfall.

This is Renault's masterpiece.

He stood quietly on the bow of the ship, whether it was the fierce waves, the swirling snowflakes, or the stern cold wind, all avoided him in awe, and did not dare to come within 5 meters.

A cat and a dog squatted on the sides, sometimes looking at the roaring and turbulent sea, and sometimes turning to look at Renault.

"boom!"

When a big wave as high as 15 meters slammed into the deck with the topping of Mount Tai, Renault suddenly raised his right hand.

The almost explosive wave of mana energy suddenly bloomed from his body.

The next moment, an amazing scene appeared.

The sea water within a radius of 150 meters, instantly condensed into ice.

The upper part of the ice layer grows rapidly, and the longer it gets taller, the lower part expands rapidly until it becomes a giant triangular ice cone, reaching a height of several hundred meters.

However, due to the characteristics of icebergs, only 1/8 of the volume, that is, a tip less than 100 meters high, protrudes out of the sea.

In the process of forming the giant ice cone, the Xuelong, which was wrapped in ice, continued to sink, from sea level to below sea level, and finally sinking to a depth of more than 150 meters.

A long metal ventilation pipe is inserted into the ice layer on the left side from the deck, leading to the sea water at a depth of 100 meters.

Everyone on the scientific research ship looked up at the dome formed by the ice, all looking silly.

"Snapped!"

Renault patted his palm lightly and smiled:

"I think no matter how fierce the storm is, it is impossible to shake the Xuelong... everybody, enjoy your vacation..."

First officer Schneider couldn't help taking a sip of water and roared loudly:

"Start the'forced ventilation device'!"

"Start the'air supply device'!"

The "huhu" airflow sounded immediately.

This is the air slowly released from the liquefied air tank.

At the exit of the metal ventilation pipe, large strands of air bubbles continued to emerge and quickly rushed to the sea above.

These two sets of equipment together form a set of ventilation system to keep the air under the ice dome fresh all the time.

After 10 minutes, it was confirmed that the system was operating normally and that there was no sea water coming in, Schneider shouted again:

"Start the'Magic Water Jet Engine'..."

For the three rune machines buried in the ice layer, a strong water flow instantly spouted from the tail nozzles, pushing the huge iceberg and slowly drifting northward.
