Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Unless you turn around? That is, there is no way around it, and Ethan ordered Prince Eugen to show the sea conditions ahead.

The holographic image can well show all the surrounding conditions of Prince Eugen, and the people on board can intuitively understand the surrounding conditions.

It is even possible to demonstrate the environmental changes that will occur next through computer calculations-it is only a speculation based on the data currently available, and it cannot predict various emergencies.

For example, after the temperature drops to tens of degrees below zero, under normal circumstances, this temperature should last for a while, and even if it rises, it will increase at a relatively gentle rate.

But in this sea area, the temperature may rise to dozens of degrees above zero in half a day, and there is no sign, so there is no way to make a prediction in advance, and it can only be calculated based on the data that has already appeared.

"Use the data collected so far to calculate the next environment and the number of vortexes in the sea ahead."

The image environment played by the holographic image began to change rapidly. In the blink of an eye, there were goose-feather-like snowflakes flying around under the chaotic wind. The visibility became very low, and the sea surface and Prince Eugen could hardly be seen. I can only see the snowflakes all over the sky.

The snowflake image was blocked first, and then I saw the situation of the sea surface: densely packed huge eddies appeared on the sea surface not far from the Prinz Eugen. Although there are relatively spacious 'passages' between the vortexes, this area is not a safe passage. The complicated ocean currents brought by a large number of eddies make these seemingly calm 'passages' full of danger.

Ethan is very glad that he changed the Prinz Eugen. If it was the Goddess of Aurora, with a wooden hull structure, I am afraid that just approaching this area, it will be torn apart by the ocean current that seems calm but actually hides chaotic power .

"The visibility is almost zero, the ocean current is chaotic and full of eddies. In this case, I suggest that the Prinz Eugen stop moving forward and wait for the blizzard to subside."

When Hill joined Ethan's team, he just thought that he had come to a world (planet) full of sea water. Although the land was a little less, it was very similar to the earth in terms of climate, gravity, and air composition. In this case, she didn't feel like she came to another world at all.

Until she began to help Ethan test the Prinz Eugen, the various miraculous weather changes on the route finally opened Hill's eyes and made her understand the magic of this world.

So she has been able to adapt to this weird climate change, and immediately gave her own advice.

"Stop going."

Hill gave very correct advice, and there is absolutely no need to force it in the face of this situation.

Although Ethan has enough life-saving means to ensure that even if something unexpected happens, the people on this ship will not be really hurt, but he doesn't want the Prince Eugen he just got to be hurt here—although Tony has set up 'damage control devices' in each area of ​​Prince Eugen. Once damage occurs, these settings will be activated, and a special maintenance robot will be sent to repair it.

However, these robots rely on nano-equipment to repair ships, and nano-equipment is a consumable, and it is not endless and can be wasted casually.

The Prinz Eugen immediately turned off the propulsion device, but the intelligent system Eugen immediately gave a prompt: "This sea area has been affected by the vortex sea area ahead, and the ship is currently being brought towards the vortex sea area by the ocean current."

This is more troublesome. If it is acceptable to stay in the blizzard and be thrown up and down by the raging waves, then it is definitely not acceptable to rush towards the vortex involuntarily.

"Start the engine and turn the course!"

The Prinz Eugen immediately carried out Ethan's order, and Hill did not comment during this period. She is indeed the commander appointed by Ethan, and she has a very high command authority on the ship, but she is not needed to command at this time, as Ethan, the captain, is the one who can give orders.

Following Ethan's order, Prince Eugen started driving again. The biggest advantage of the jet propulsion device installed on this ship is that it starts quickly, which can make this steel warship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons from a static state in a very short period of time. into full speed ahead.

After starting to move forward again, Prince Eugen gave another reminder: the current on the sea surface is getting stronger and stronger, and it is difficult for the Prinz Eugen to turn.

Eugen concluded through calculations that if he wants to complete the turn, he must advance at full speed, but this will also speed up the speed at which the Prinz Eugen enters the vortex sea area.

It is even difficult for the Prinz Eugen to complete the turn before it is 'sucked' into the vortex. Judging from the current changing speed of the ocean current, the Prinz Eugen will probably be facing the vortex sideways when it turns halfway. Being sucked into a huge vortex.

"Does that mean we can't escape?"

"Yes!"

As the distance gets closer, the 'suction' on the sea will become stronger and stronger, and Prince Eugen will be sucked into the vortex faster and faster.

"Why does it sound like a black hole?"

Originally, everyone came to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly they actually ran into trouble.

Fortunately, everyone is aware of Ethan's ability, and no one is panicked by it, and is even in the mood to discuss: Is it scientific or not that a group of vortices form a black hole-like 'suction' on the sea surface?

Speaking of it, there are too many strange things happening in this sea area, and everyone doesn't care whether it is scientific or not. Since it happened, what everyone cares about is how to solve this kind of trouble.

At present, the temperature outside has dropped to more than ten degrees below zero. When Ethan and Ada were chatting outside, it was still a cool and pleasant twenty degrees. Ada was wearing a pair of slippers and showing two long legs on the deck. Now Even people who have received strengthening at this temperature are unwilling to go outside to suffer from the cold.

"Temperatures are still falling, but the rate of decline has slowed down a bit."

Hill has been staring at various monitoring data. According to her experience during this period, the temperature drop has slowed down, which means that the temperature change has entered a late stage. Considering that it is only minus 17 degrees, it should not drop to a terrible level.

No matter how much black technology is loaded on the Prinz Eugen, it is only a surface ship after all. Although the huge change in temperature is taken into account, it will not be built to withstand more terrifying extreme temperatures like a spaceship.

If the temperature drops to minus one hundred degrees, all Ethan can do is take everyone to another world.

However, considering that adventurers in this world can sail through this route in a ship that is far inferior to Prince Eugen, the temperature should not drop to that level.

Just when the temperature dropped to minus 30 degrees, the rate of decline became slower. Based on previous experience, Hill estimated that the temperature would stop falling soon, and finally stay at around minus 40 degrees. Fifty degrees below zero.

But the temperature was no longer the biggest problem. Snowflakes had already fallen outside, and everyone could already see the vortex in the distance.

Ethan hadn't spoken before, and seeing that the vortex that he had inferred based on his calculations had really appeared, he immediately asked Eugen to display the situation of all the vortices. At the same time, he also asked Eugen to mark the direction of rotation of each vortex, and which vortexes were almost next to each other.

"captain?"

"Since we are not allowed to escape, then we can only continue forward."

Considering that these vortexes interact with each other, and the seemingly calm passage between the two vortexes is actually a real dead zone, Ethan directly ruled out the option of passing between the vortexes.

If you can't pass through this area, then there is only one option left, which is to enter the vortex, then drive along the direction of the vortex's rotation, and then use the power of the vortex to accelerate your escape when you need to leave.

"Using centrifugal force?"

"That's what I mean."

Eugen's calculation speed is very fast. At the same time as Ethan gave the order, he marked the various data Ethan wanted in the holographic image, and then marked a "should be feasible" at Ethan's request. travel route.

This route starts from the vortex that Prince Eugen is currently facing, and then goes from one vortex to another, and from this vortex to the next vortex.

Because factors such as the direction of rotation of the vortices and the distance between them have to be taken into consideration, this route, if viewed from a bird's eye view from the sky, is simply going back and forth in circles.

According to the observation data, the 'length' of the vortex sea area in front is astonishing, making it impossible for Ethan to go around, but the 'thickness' is average. If these vortexes are arranged in a row, it only needs to pass through ten vortexes to pass through this dense vortex. the sea area.

However, the route Eugen gave according to Ethan's request required Prince Eugen to pass through at least seventy vortexes, and basically had to travel back and forth in the vortex sea area for a long time to pass through.

"It felt like some kind of ride at a water park."

Everyone was still in the mood to complain about this route, and no one felt that this was a journey to death.

"Okay, gentlemen, find a seat and sit down, we are going to play a long-distance 'rapid rafting'!"

There are many positions on the bridge, including dedicated operation positions for the pilot, fire control, navigation and other equipment, but most of the time only Hill is here, and no one has any fixed positions.

At this time, it is necessary to find a seat nearby and fasten the 'seat belt' so as not to be thrown out and injured during this exciting rafting.

At this moment, the sky outside was covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the visibility had become zero—if it wasn't for a black-tech battleship with super detection equipment like the Prinz Eugen, I'm afraid I would have to wait to die.

However, for the people on this ship, this is just a slightly exciting entertainment.
