Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 92: Afterglow of the Family

Ivan held a handwritten letter from Duncan Douglas, President of the Royal Society of Medicine, and was a little surprised at first.

If what you have invented is just a method or medicine to treat common diseases, it is definitely not worth sending a personal letter with the tone of such a big man eagerly.

But when this method or drug can bring great convenience to the sailing industry, or more precisely, it can create huge wealth more efficiently, the meaning is completely different.

Aiwen, who has all his experience from the books in his previous life, still somewhat underestimated the value of the methods he provided to prevent and treat scurvy!

He didn't know that, no matter in the previous life or in this life, before the pathogenic principle of scurvy was discovered, every ocean exploration voyage had to suffer unimaginable non-combat attrition due to this terrible disease.

What's more, the sea area of ​​this world is much wider than that of the earth in the previous life. It has happened more than once that an ocean-going exploration fleet died of disease, or even the entire army was wiped out more than once. Even a powerful transcendent can only alleviate the disease but not be completely immune as long as he does not break away from the essence of human beings.

this time.

The Medical Association has confirmed through repeated tests that the several methods provided by Aiwen have excellent effects on patients suffering from scurvy. In particular, its convenient preparation method and storability characteristics are simply the best gospel for ocean voyages.

It can be foreseen that with the promotion of these methods, a longer exploration distance, a longer sailing radius, and greater profits are already beckoning to the kingdom!

In summary, the birth of this letter and the issuance of the "Hippo Clark Second Class Medal".

In fact, the Medical Association itself has been studying the causes of scurvy, but it has not learned more about vitamin C, which is a key element in the microcosm.

If it weren't for the several methods provided by Aiwen, it would be more practical and able to solve the problem in a targeted manner, but the existence of the key micronutrient vitamin C was not named.

Otherwise, a first-class medal or even a special medal is not a problem!

Aiwen estimated that if the kingdom gets enough benefits from the ocean voyage later, the Navy Department and even Her Majesty the Queen may give him a second award, after all, there are precedents to follow.

"Ahem, you can't be too greedy, this is already a surprise, not bad."

This harvest has exceeded Aiwen's initial expectations. In the past, the fledgling teenagers did not realize the value of the so-called "common sense" in their minds, and did not pay much attention to it.

But when the aborigines in this world gave strong and real feedback, Aiwen instantly realized that he almost missed a good opportunity to gain both fame and fortune.

After all, if you want to develop in an official organization, the more things like fame, the better. Not only is it a passport to enter the upper class, but for many extraordinary paths, fame or legend itself can be linked to power.

The most typical example is the "titled knight", the top rank of the knight road. The wider the title is spread and the louder the reputation, the greater the benefits the knight can gain from it.

Aiwen knows that these methods of preventing and treating scurvy are difficult to bring benefits to individuals, but they are of great significance to an organization or a country. As long as the first-mover advantage of four or five years is fully utilized before the knowledge is completely diffused, huge benefits can be obtained.

And with the spread of knowledge, his reputation will reach new heights, at least in ocean-going ships, colonies and coastal areas will spread his name.

People often fear the strong with power, but they only respect the scholars with knowledge. At that time, I will really be a halo.

Therefore, I also look forward to the "Hippo Clark Second Class Medal" mentioned in the letter.

Small auditorium for the study of theoretical courses in short courses.

"The Age of Discovery began 183 years ago and was initiated by the Kingdom of Cyrus, the most powerful country in sea power.

Some historians define that year as the first year of the "Hai Yuan Calendar".

Although this calendar was not commonly used in the Old World due to different beliefs, cultures, and emphasis on ocean exploration in various countries, it was still extremely influential in coastal countries and was widely adopted by colonies of various countries. "

On the podium, a burly middle-aged man with a big nose and gray hair was talking about the history of mainland navigation.

Today, Professor Mitchelson, who teaches navigation knowledge, is not only a doctor of navigation theory with extensive knowledge, but also a veteran navigator. It has even reached the end of the world known to mankind - the northernmost "Eternal White Land" and returned safely.

Whether it is theory or practice, he is a national treasure in the kingdom. If it were not for the Royal Naval Academy, ordinary people would listen to his legendary stories at most, and they would not even think about listening to him in the audience.

"At that time, we humans conquered the Southern Treasure Sea for the first time, and finally discovered the Southern Continent through the harsh celestial phenomena and violent ocean currents.

Of course, the first ten years have nothing to do with our Phalatis Kingdom or even the Tulip Alliance. It wasn't until the earliest explorers of the Kingdom of Ilia discovered a new route to the southern continent that the countries of the Tulip Alliance ushered in a turning point.

It is precisely because of the heroic pioneering spirit of the explorers that we have our huge interests in the southern continent. "

At this moment, Professor Mitchelson glanced down at the list of students on the table, and accidentally found a somewhat familiar surname. As a doctor of navigation and a great navigator, he is very fond of every adventurer who has made outstanding contributions in human history, no matter which country he belongs to!

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Who is Mr. Ivan Garriott?" The professor's voice was loud and clear to every student present.

"Professor, I am." Aiwen in the front row stood up upon hearing this, thinking that the professor was going to ask questions in class.

Professor Mitchelson stared at him for a while and confirmed that Ivan's brown hair and black eyes were very rare, but he didn't ask him any questions. Instead, he turned to the students present and said:

"Gentlemen, we are very fortunate to study with a descendant of a great adventurer of that era today.

As I said just now, the ancestor of Mr. Garriott was one of the adventurers who made outstanding contributions to the development of the Southern Continent. I hope that Mr. Garriott and everyone here can inherit this spirit and discover a wider world for human civilization.

all right, please sit down. "

The mutual recognition of the titles of the tulip countries and the migration are very normal. The professor didn't think it was wrong for the descendants of Gariote, who belonged to Ilia, to appear in Phalatis.

"After nearly two hundred years of development, the Southern Continent has become a very mature colony. Although our progress in Phalatis is a bit late, the area of ​​the colony can also rank among the top five sea power countries.

Moreover, it occupies 30% of the treasure tree bay, which is an excellent timber supply place, and through the land replacement of the New World, its actual influence has firmly ranked among the top three in the southern continent.

New World

Indigenous wizards mainly based on voodoo, deep-rooted primitive gods, natural spirits, and wandering monsters are all obstacles to the continued development of human beings. I hope that your generation can complete the pioneering work of the New World, make great achievements and even obtain your own fief. "

The professor's lectures are still going on. For him, it is just a small episode and a means of teaching, but for Aiwen, it is deeply touched.

It has been five years since the family collapsed, but the afterglow of the family is remembered and continues to bloom thousands of miles away from the homeland

There was something stirring in his heart for a long time that was difficult to calm down, and finally it only turned into one sentence:

"Heh, this is probably going to be recorded in the history books."
