Chapter 916： Tripartite contact

The sea is incredible.

It is wider than Baishui River, wider than Gorgon River, and wider than any river or lake on land.

Byron stood on a high platform on the front deck of the Curiosity, and let the cold sea breeze rush in, the peculiar salty breath in the sea water blowing into the nostrils, the body of water that stretched infinitely in the field of vision undulated in front of the bow The sound of the waves, the sound of the wind, the sound of the ship's machinery, and the whispers of unknown seabirds all surround him in all directions.

He glanced back and saw that the sailors were busy in various positions on the ship. Some technicians were checking the connection between the magic wing and the upper deck machinery. The Naga "philosopher" with deep and sad eyes was Observing the distant sky through some kind of magic device, and in the waves beside the ship, there are still a few beautiful and ghostly figures swimming around in the water.

He suddenly remembered his experience as a mercenary in those years-something that was completely irrelevant to the prospect of the eyes, but brought inexplicable memories in the heart of the half-way knight, he remembered those adventures in the jungle and the secret realm Days, remember those who walked through many unfamiliar lands with themselves, and were buried in the unfamiliar lands ...

When the sea breeze blew, he squinted and smiled and said to the sea monster Viola standing beside him: "I originally thought I was already a middle-aged man who pursued stability. I didn't expect to be a bit adventurous in my heart. "

"Humans have always been adventurous-you are not as strong as the Kraken, but you have more guts than us, which surprised us for many years," the deep sea witch with long blue hair said seriously, "but probably It is precisely because of this adventurous spirit that your development speed can be so fast, and it is always full of variables. "

Byron smiled, looked up at the distant sea, looked at the direction of the far sea, and said casually: "We are just taking the first step today ... It is far from a challenge to bypass the land along the safe waters off the coast. The ocean, at best, is only testing the performance parameters of Curiosity. If it really challenges the distant sea ... At least it must be close to that dividing line. "

"I and the" Zheren "discussed the plan for the exploration of the distant sea," the sea monster Viola, who served as a technical consultant, nodded. "Based on the experience of the Storm Church, we believe that humans should sail from two directions-one It is to observe and avoid the "disordered turbulence" that has been formed in advance. One is to ensure the survivability and navigation ability of the ship when the disordered turbulence is suddenly formed out of thin air and envelopes the ship. Back to the safe sea ... "

Byron nodded seriously: "Very reasonable-His Majesty sent a batch of information to Beigang before, which also mentioned the importance of remotely discovering disordered turbulence, and how to survive if turbulence is involved. , The former is actually quite good. Now we have the help of Naga. They have the spell model of the Storm Church. The research department on the Imperial Capital has begun to try to reverse the related spells into equipment available for the ship, but the latter does not. easily……"

Speaking of which, Byron shook his head: "The children of the storm rely on themselves as the transcendent's meticulous perception of the ocean, plus the blessing of 'faith power' to ensure safety, especially the latter, so that they can even Finding those narrow safe paths when the sequence of turbulence is coming, the current magic technology ca n’t do this, and we do n’t plan to build faith in the ocean and storms-although we all know that it is now directed to your race Spirit, but to avoid introducing divine power into the military and scientific research system is our basic national policy. "

"I hope your magician will have a way, thicker armor, stronger shield, higher speed ... These methods may help your human ships to resist the disorderly turbulence at sea," Viola said. Said quickly, "Of course, we will also provide some" siren-style "technical ideas, but those ideas are not necessarily applicable to your land creatures ..."

Byron recalled the scene with the Kraken technical experts discussing "how to deal with emergency in the event of a Shanghai accident", and shook his head with tears and laughs: "Will everyone swim back if the boat is gone ... We really can't use this ..."

Viola shrugged expressionlessly — this is what she just learned from anthropology — and then looked away: “We are close to the port.”

...

With the second whistle of Curiosity, this huge and advanced steel ship began to slow down while adjusting the bow's orientation, gradually approaching the port trestle of Baiyu Port like a giant beast.

Paladin Huishanyan, who was standing on the trestle, looked up at the monster a little bit, his face gradually showing a surprised and envious expression, and then his already reddish nose became even more ruddy, and a smile and beard bloomed on his face. The decorative metal ornaments at the end all screamed with this smile. The interim envoy from the dwarf kingdom in the western part of the mainland happily said to the partner beside him: "Hi! I want this one too-those 'Ceciles' are a little bit capable!"

"I want to know how this boat moved!" Another dwarf yelled loudly. "If those Cecilians are willing to teach, I can give my nephew to their craftsmen as a twenty-year apprentice!" "

"Enough is enough. Your nephew has been given to you as an apprentice at least one hundred times by you under various excuses! If you count every time, he will at least be an apprentice to people for five hundred years-forgive you. Nephew! "

"Quiet," Paladin Huishanyan immediately glared at the tribe who followed him. "We stand here on behalf of the Forge City, and don't lose face in front of humanity."

The noisy dwarf representatives finally quieted down, and Wenna Baizhi standing next to them quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dwarves, this group of optimists living in the extreme west of the mainland is a very troublesome race. Although most of them like to nest next to their ancient melting pot, there are still a lot of dwarves coming out. Their kingdom is running around in this world, and the Ogure tribe, which is adjacent to the dwarf kingdom, has dealt with these guys most, so Wenna is also very clear about the dwarves ’nature-the inherent optimism and adventurous impulse to make them Dare to try anything, even in such a serious and formal occasion, it is difficult to guarantee that these "ambassadors" who have been plugged in will not make any mess ...

After all, the dwarves who pretend to be "steel people" never dismiss those red tapes of the human world.

She withdrew her attention, looked at the magic ship that had been docked by the trestle and was laying down multiple steps and springboards, and took a deep breath.

The dwarves felt envious and surprised when they saw this thing, but she only felt a little suffocated.

She seemed to suddenly understand that the great Govin Cecile and the magic army he ruled within a short period of time settled a war and established an empire, and understood the reliance of all these great causes, or Rely on one.

She was fortunate. Fortunately, during the most difficult period of the Cecil Empire ’s civil war, the various races of the Ogure tribe chose to provide help instead of taking advantage of it. Fortunately, the gray elves of the moss forest have always been commercial and human. She had no conflicts with the human kingdom that lived next to her, but she was unavoidably upset when she was fortunate.

But in the end, she condensed all the emotions that should not come out at this moment, put all her thoughts behind her head temporarily, and after a slight adjustment of the muscles on her face, she showed the most suitable smile on the current occasion.

Byron stepped off the springboard and stepped on the solid wooden trestle. He beside him did not bring anyone but the adjutant and several personal soldiers-the technical advisors of the Kraken and the Naga remained on the boat or in the sea, They do not need to participate in this contact.

The patriarch of the gray elf came over, with a faint smile on her face. Although she was small as a human child, her face was a standard adult, and her body exuded the calmness and dignity that a ruler should have. She reached out to Byron with a slightly hoarse voice: "Welcome to Baiyu Port, General Byron-very happy to see you all going well."

Byron also reached out — two fingers, and “shaked” with Wenna's hand: “Nice to meet you, Ms. Wenna Baizhi. Today is undoubtedly a memorable day.”

Then he turned his head and looked at several other interracial people who appeared with the representatives of the gray elves. A dwarf wearing black armor and gray beard came towards him like a moving, muscled man. Like a wine barrel made of iron, the dwarf reached out to him and said in a loud voice: "Palatin Huishanyan from the dwarf kingdom, hello to you, mankind, I bring the Forge City greetings. You The skill of making iron is really good. "

Byron froze for a moment, but quickly understood the other's meaning: This was to praise the new experimental ship "Curiosity".

He suddenly smiled, and at the same time reached out to hold the other party: "Say hello to you-we received the news that the dwarf representative will also appear before we set off."

"Forge City is very interested in your" restart route "plan," Paladin Huishanyan said generously. "Frankly speaking, your large mining machinery is a good thing, but unfortunately it can't be transported to us. After the entire tribe of Ogure, and a ridge on the edge of our kingdom, but now that I see this ship, I do n’t think we have to cut through that mountain-Ansu people used the ship briefly seven hundred years ago. I've done business with us, but unfortunately I was interrupted as soon as I improved, and I will advise the Forge City Council to go back and repair the port on the west coast ... "

Byron took a lot of effort to finally draw his hand from the other party's palm, and at the same time, he deeply felt what the so-called "dwarf-style straightforward" means.

The things mentioned by the other party are actually not in his mission plan today-the main task today is to conduct the initial voyage test of Curiosity, as well as to collect the sea state and coastal data of the offshore area. The meeting of the delegates was more a ceremonial contact to announce the success of the initial flight of Curiosity and the official restoration of the route from Beigang to Baiyu Port. As for further business plans and route development ... Professional people slowly agreed afterwards.

He believes that Wenna Baizhi thinks so too, but the dwarf messenger apparently doesn't think so, and the other party's thinking has obviously expanded to how to repair the port on the west coast ...

This gives him a feeling of facing Govin or Rebecca-an incredibly forward-looking, one who dares to say anything ...

But soon, he showed a smile-dealing with such a straightforward representative is not a bad thing. In all fairness, he prefers this kind of person, which is more than seven or eight bends and a sneeze. The nobles and foreign ambassadors who have cited the classics are much cuter ...

The three representatives from the port chatted briefly, each with different thoughts, the entourage stood at their respective angles, the atmosphere of the scene seemed harmonious and harmonious, the gray elf "camera group" of Baiyu Port and those who got off the ship with Curiosity Cecil's official recording staff also recorded this scene with the magic network terminal.

A picture was passed to the moss forest, and a picture was passed to the Beigang hub.

...

"The Curiosity successfully completed its initial voyage. At 12:15 noon today, it arrived at Baiyu Port on the border of the tribe of Ogure. General Byron and the entourage of the ship were at the port with Ms. Wenna Baizhi, the leader of the gray elves and the dwarf representatives ...

"The smooth initial voyage of Curiosity marks that the route from Beigang to the northwest coast of the Ogure tribe has been opened, and the empire's marine shipbuilding technology has laid the foundation. We will take a more long-term step towards the ocean ...

"... plan to extend the route to the dwarf kingdom, and further to the south of the tribe of Ogure ...

"In the foreseeable future, we may establish further contact with the silver empire by sea ..."

Victoria Wild waved his hand, turned off the screen played by the Magic Web terminal, and stood up from the sofa.

"It's really an optimistic forward-looking idea ... The distance between Baiyu Port and the Silver Empire is still far away," the North Duke said to himself, "but optimism is not wrong at all, the progress of restarting the route is still smooth, according to Sooner or later, this trend can be connected to the elves from the sea ... "

The room was quiet, and Victoria looked up.

A maid stood not far from the room, bowing her head meticulously awaiting the order of the duchess, and for the content of the duchess ’s self-talk, the maid apparently neither understood nor responded, It may not even be heard at all.

"Alas ... Maggie will participate in at least a few words if she is here." Victoria couldn't help sighing, showing a somewhat helpless look on her usual expressionless face.

Just then, a rhythmic knock on the door came suddenly.

Victoria sensed the breath outside the door and said casually, "Come in."

The door of the study opened, and an elderly mage wearing a dark blue starry robe, with a dry and thin figure and a very energetic face came in and bowed to Victoria: "Good day, lord."

"Victor," Victoria nodded to his chief mage. "What's the matter?"

"The connection test of the hub core is completed," the old mage said, with a bright and proud smile on his face. "The data is perfect, and you can accept it at any time."

(Friendly recommend a book, "Rebirth Genius Single Girl", which should also be written by a book friend. Emmmm ...... All in all, I sacrificed to heaven.)
