Chapter 704: : Henry's Diary (Part 1)

New Year's Eve, April 11, 1145:
I finally applied for the qualification to explore the route. Of course, I was not surprised by this result.
Tanstretz is a place full of mechanical alchemists and has a strong research atmosphere, but it lacks the adventurous spirit that an island country should have. As a result, it has been more than three months since the reward order was issued, and there has been no corresponding call from the nobility in China.
As a member of the Archipelago League, it seemed a bit uncooperative to not send a weighty noble to participate in this matter, so I smelled the opportunity at that time, and the weighty nobles did not want to participate in this adventure, but the empire It is necessary to give the Union a face. In this country, people who seem to have a little weight and are actually insignificant, except for the guy who has the royal blood but is excluded?
May 7:
Although I started preparing three months ago, time was still not enough. Through various lobbying and exhausting all my wealth, I finally got to the two advanced ships equipped with Victory and Triumph. Enough supplies.
Of course, the sacrifice is quite big. Everything that can be sold at home is sold. Collectibles, shares in tobacco companies, Sicilian fields include some of my most profitable shops. I hardly leave anything for my wife and children. , Like a gambler who has done everything, but I believe I will succeed. Today ’s contribution is to make her the Duchess necessary setback, I will not forget the wife ’s contribution to me, including her to accompany me That disgusting seafood merchant!
Oh my god, that guy who smells of squid, Ye Tina's contribution is too great
May 10:
After hiring enough people, my two ships were finally ready to sail. I hesitated for a long time that day and even discussed with Ye Tina to let her sail with me, but she said that she could not let the children take risks and decided to stay and raise them for me Those two children
I guess I must have saved the world in my last life, otherwise how could I marry such a good wife? I swear, when I return rich, I must compensate her grievances hundreds and thousands of times
When I saw this place, a group of people looked weird, especially dog ​​eggs, and pointed directly at the virtual screen: "This dog egg knows that he is a cock, and I didn't expect to sell even his wife. in?"
Everyone nodded again and again
Lei Xue sighed and looked at the crowd. The heart of the world gossip can really offset all the horrible things. Now you are in such a situation. You are still interested in caring for others and selling their wives.
Ignore everyone, and continue to read the content behind
Most of the following content is some boring daily life at sea, and this guy misses his family. Lei Xue frowned and quickly read through, and finally saw what he wanted to see in January of the following year.
New Year 1 January 1146:
This day was originally the recovery festival of Tanzanian Terez. Tanzanian Terez, who started with agriculture, valued the festival of spring recovery very much. In order to keep the crew mindset, I decided to hold a celebration to improve morale and hope that the new Year has a new beginning
The celebration will be set at 12 noon. We are going to have a whole day to vent the boring days on the sea. Of course, first of all, people have to clean up the feces on the deck. The independent toilet is only captain and large, others can only be solved on the deck.
In order to be more lively, the celebration was set on the larger deck of the Triumph. I took out the sausages and my wine on the ship. Since it was a celebration, I tried to do better.
As a result, as soon as we reached the Triumph, someone reported that a lot of ice floes appeared in front
The news extinguished my enthusiasm for the party
January 2:
We bypassed the floating ice field for almost a whole day, but the size of this ice field was beyond my imagination, giving people a boundless feeling. We did n’t get around until it was dark
At that time I even had the illusion that we were going in the wrong direction. Is this the east or the north and the south, right?
How could there be such a large ice floe?
In the end, I knew that we could not continue this way. Because of the detour, we deviated further and further from the predicted route. I am afraid that it will take me no time to get back to that route.
And he has been drifting on the sea for half a year. Considering that there is at least half a year before the forecast, the materials will be a little nervous when detouring. This includes not encountering other special circumstances.
So I propose to cross this ice floe directly!
After the proposal was put forward, it was opposed by a large number of people. Among them, the captain was the captain of the Triumph. He thought it was too risky. This large floating ice field is very difficult to cross. Once the propeller is broken, the main pole It is possible that the power system of the shipbuilding main engine is damaged, which is not the worst. If the temperature inside continues to drop and the ice floes become hard ice, they will be trapped inside. At that time, it is really called Tianbu The ground is not working!
I sneered at what he said. Sailing is a risky business. How can everything succeed if you want stability? If the prince you supported before could listen to her decisive wave, maybe there is still a wave of opportunities to fight for, instead of waiting slowly to die there
After several disputes, they persuaded each other, but they are the highest chief of this ship. In theory, they can be directly determined. In the end, Sean (captain of the Triumph) proposed to divide the soldiers into two. Responsible for crossing the ice, the more powerful Victory continues to detour!
This can at least guarantee the safety of a ship!
I initially opposed this proposal, but this was obviously Sean ’s final bottom line. Although I am his sir, I am a despised royal family, and the prestige among the sailors is obviously not comparable to Sean, who has many years of sailing experience!
Eventually I accepted his proposal, but made a slight modification.
His suggestion was that he led the Triumph to try to cross the ice, and I led the Victory to a more secure detour.
The seemingly loyal decision made me smell the conspiracy. I thought to myself: If this ice field is not as serious as the other party said?
He traversed the past with ease, and arrived in the Eastern Continent one step ahead of himself. After obtaining information and opportunities, he might have all the credit for him. Would n’t he pay so much to make a wedding dress for others?
Of course, it is not allowed to let him take the risk and let him go back to operate the Victory bypass, because once the ice field is really so dangerous, the Triumph can not get out of it, and all his efforts must be owned by him.
After thinking about it again and again, I decided to join Sean on the Arc de Triomphe to venture into the ice, and let my trusted lieutenant Polly as the captain of the Victory detour, telling him that if he did not get out of the ice, he would remember Take care of your wife and daughter
So just like that, on the day, I shipped most of the materials to the Triumph. From tomorrow on, I will enter the ice field. I hope the of the sea can bless me and return safely. My family is still waiting. I am triumphant
