The setting sun sinks behind him, and it will fall into the farthest sea level.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled over and dyed the sea surface into a yellow-orange color. At the same time, it also covered a layer of pale yellow paint on the body of the "Wings of the Wings", "Chaoyang" and "The Goddess of Victory". good looking.
Nieval squinted and looked at the endless sea behind him. Then he turned to look at the sea that had not seen the end and had begun to turn black. He nodded and said to the side deputy: "Recount, start to lower." Speed, enter the night flight stage."
After a while, the speed of the wings was obviously slowed down. The Chaoyang and the goddess Ellis, who were slightly behind the left and right sides, also slowed down, still keeping with the wings. With a triangular formation, continue on the sea and continue eastward.
Nieval came to the railing and took a look at the sea.
Although the waves from the wings have been much smaller than just because of the reduced speed, it is still many times larger than any sea boat that Nirval used to ride.
If you just hit a wave, the spray splashes, even up to a few meters high.
Nieval has lived in the sea for so many years and has always liked to watch the waves hit by sea boats.
However, before this, he has not seen any sea boat that can hit such a high wave on the sea like the Chaoyang, but still can maintain a smooth and steady forward.
Steady and safe, Nirval has been the most profound feeling since it was on the wings of the ship.
Compared with the wooden sea boats that Nirval used to ride, the wings are ten times larger in size, and because the whole body is made of stainless steel, it sails on the sea. It is very stable.
When driving those wooden ships, they often encountered a large wave, and the entire ship would shake the bumps violently. People always have the illusion that the entire ship will turn over in the next moment.
On this wing, the general wave can not cause a little influence. Staying on the deck is like staying on the ground.
Even if it encounters a large, more intense wave, the wings will still be able to steadily crush the past, without any fluctuations, making people feel more comfortable.
Thinking of this, Nirval couldn't help but start the thrilling situation that happened three nights ago.
Three days ago, when the fleet spent a bay corner in the night flight, it accidentally encountered a sudden storm.
The storm was extremely violent and the situation was extremely bad. If you have encountered such a violent storm when you went out to sea, there is almost no possibility of survival.
However, in the face of such a violent storm, the three giant magic ships of the wings show the safety performance far beyond ordinary wooden ships.
Although the hull is still affected and bumpy, the overall situation is extremely stable.
In conjunction with the wind and water magic arrays attached to the outside of the three magic ships, the three magic ships did not really encounter any danger from beginning to end.
When the storm passed, the sea returned to calm, including Nirvana, and everyone was unbelievable.
The people on these three ships are old sailors who have been living on the sea for many years. The danger to the sea is much better than the average person, so they are very aware of the terrible danger hidden by this sudden storm. Even most people have already sentenced themselves to death in their hearts.
But everyone did not think that the three magic ships of the wings were actually so dangerous.
After the people survived, the ability of these three magic ships suddenly produced a new understanding and trust.
If you are starting from the new flight port. Everyone feels that some future is uncertain, and they are afraid of fear, but after this storm, everyone feels full of confidence.
Everyone is convinced that with these three powerful magic ships, they can even sail from the sea to the farthest corner of the world!
Nieval is also convinced of this.
However, as the commander of this fleet, he must also consider more practical situations.
It has been nearly 20 days since the departure of the new flight port.
From the chart, the entire journey has passed more than half.
If you are landing now. I must have entered the territory of the Kingdom of Rulson.
If you don't have an accident, just stick to it for less than a week. You should be able to successfully reach Nissi City.
In fact, the three magical ships with the spread of the wings can maintain a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. They did not need to use this for a long time. And knowing that it takes less than a week to complete this voyage.
But because this is the first time sailing, the task of this fleet is not only to successfully transport the goods to Nissi City, but also to find out the route and lay the foundation for future navigation.
Therefore, during the entire voyage, Nieval appeared cautiously, strictly controlled the speed of navigation, and recorded the situation around the route in detail along the way, drawing a chart, the overall speed is naturally much slower.
Going slow, although safe, has brought a lot of problems.
The first thing to bear is the logistical problems.
Although departing from the new flight port, Nieval has set a sailing time of one month, and it is also prepared to replenish supplies according to one month. However, when sailing on the sea, various accidents are always avoided, resulting in the consumption of these materials. Far more than the Nieval plan.
With the remaining supplies on the current three magic ships, it is possible to support the entire fleet for ten days of consumption.
In theory, it should be enough for the fleet to insist on reaching Nissie.
But if something happens again, it's hard to say.
Other materials are still well solved, but once the most important freshwater resources at sea are gone, there is really nowhere to be.
Thinking of the seriousness of this problem, Nieval could not help but think that before he sailed, he would have mentioned one thing to him, saying that he was considering developing a magic fresh water purifier.
If this thing is successfully developed, then it will be much more convenient when you go sailing in the sea.
But now... I have to solve the problem at hand.
Nival looked at the front of the fleet and looked at the sea. He looked up and looked at the observatory above the middle of the wings and picked up the magic box in his hand. He said, "Mes, I am optimistic, if I see something big nearby." If you have a little island, let us know in advance, and we will get some supplies on these islands."
"Follow!" A slightly squeaky sound sounded in the magic box, which lowered the tone. "But the captain, it’s going to be dark this day, I can’t see it clearly.
"Less nonsense, let you see it. Not only today, but also pay attention to this every day, understand?" Nirvar shouted.
"Oh, I understand. But I have been watching this for so long, I haven't seen a few big islands at all. I said the captain, is there a problem with the route we chose? I think if I am close again For some coastlines, there may be more such islands."
"Need you to talk nonsense?" Nirvar yelled.
If possible, he certainly knows that it is much safer to sail closer to the shoreline, and it is easier to get supplies from the coast.
However, the three magical ships of the Wings are good, but there is a problem, that is, the hull is too big, and because all of them are made of stainless steel, the tonnage is extremely heavy, resulting in too much draught.
If you are too close to the coastline, you will be familiar with the sea. In the unfamiliar sea, there will be a reef everywhere, and you may directly encounter the reef, causing it to run aground.
If something goes wrong, then what other face does he have to go back to meet the president?
Besides, the main task of this fleet is to find out the route. Therefore, Nirval is deliberately selecting routes that are not clear.
However, he did not encounter any suitable island on the route selected this time as an intermediate supply station, which caused the supply to be replenished.
He is now bothered by this matter, and this Metz is still here, which naturally leads to his unhappiness.
Metz is the old man of Nieval, and naturally he hears his current tone is not good.
The probe glanced down to the deck below and saw that Nirvar was wandering around the deck, knowing that he might be thinking about important issues. Mes spit out his tongue, stopped talking, turned his head and looked into the distance. Sea surface conditions.
At this time, more than half of the sunset has sunk into the sea level on the far side. The sea on the east has long become dim. Even though Metz has always had a good eyesight and equipped with a telescope, he can't see anything at all.
After scanning for a lap, Messi snorted and was about to put down the telescope and rest for a while, but suddenly he saw a black shadow on the sea in the distance and quickly approached here.
Metz groaned and reacted immediately. He jumped up and the probe shouted loudly down the deck.
"There are pirates!"
The shouting screams into everyone's ears on the deck of the wings, and everyone was taken aback.
Pirates are not a strange term for people who have lived at sea for many years.
However, it has been sailing for more than ten days on this road, perhaps because the route just entered the deep sea and avoided the place near the coastline. So it has been very safe, and everyone almost forgot the pirate.
I can't think of entering the waters of the Kingdom of Rulson now, not far from the destination, but I met pirates.
When he heard the scream of Metz, Nieval stopped and looked up at the observatory and looked at the front, but did not see anything from the dim.
After staying there, Nival’s face did not show any horror, but his eyes were full of surprises.
"There are pirates? Haha, that's great!" (To be continued)
