Chapter 48 Rush towards the maelstrom! (read more)
The shaking cabin and the constant screams from above interrupted the conversation between the two. After Linn and Jonny looked at each other, they rushed forward in unison.
Opening the cabin door, the cold wind howled, and the icy raindrops poured on the deck like a dense rain of bullets. This was the prelude to the storm...
The originally calm sea surface became turbulent at this moment, and the sea water continued to slap the hull, causing the sail warship to keep shaking.
Due to the continuous strong wind, the originally dense fog has become much thinner, and the visual range has increased by about twice. However, the fog is no longer pure white, but has turned into an extremely weird gray...
"Quickly tighten the sails and take action. We must escape from this sea as soon as possible!"
There was chaos on the deck, with hundreds of [Ship Gang] sailors in a mess. Lauder looked extremely ugly and yelled loudly, but it was to no avail. Many people were kneeling on the ground in despair, with expressions of despair on their faces.
He kept shouting something.
"Mr. Lauder, did it hit the rocks? Or was it the impact of the storm?" Linn quickly stepped forward and asked.
"No, it's the maelstrom, it's the Eye of Death!" Lauder shouted in horror.
Big whirlpool?
Lin En suddenly remembered the information he had inquired about in Harbor Town before, and looked at the rough sea again. Only then did he realize what he had just ignored. The rolling sea water was surging in the same direction, and the person under him was
A large sailboat is being pulled towards the center of the vortex bit by bit.
It's just that the diameter of this vortex is too large, and the sea surface is full of fog, so he can't find any reference objects, which actually gives him the illusion that the ship has been sailing normally!
Hiss~ How big is this thing?
Lin En couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, while Lauder on the side seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He looked at Lin En with an extremely earnest look and asked excitedly. "Master Wizard, do you have a way to put it together?"
Does the whole maelstrom freeze up?"
"Are you kidding?" Linn frowned. The diameter of this large whirlpool must be at least several kilometers to cause such a visual error. What kind of force can freeze such a huge ocean?
"Then we're doomed. It's too late to escape now!" The fire of hope flickering in Lauder's eyes was instantly extinguished, and his whole body seemed to have no bones. He slumped on the ground, muttering to himself.
The reason why the Sea of Mist is so terrifying is that in addition to the thick fog that covers the entire sea and can completely disorient people, what is even more important is the large whirlpool called the Eye of Death!
This is an existence that makes countless voyagers extremely fearful. It is like the god of death wandering in the vast sea of fog. It may appear in any corner of this sea at any time without warning and without any rules. Once encountered,
The sailor will be pronounced dead!
Because the terrifying suction of the maelstrom is far greater than the speed of any sailing ship, it is rumored that those who are eventually sucked into the whirlpool will not only be unable to escape death, but their souls will also fall into the abyss. This is the origin of the name Eye of Death...
The only way to pass through this sea of mist is to wait until Sunday, when the [Eye of Death] whirlpool will subside briefly. Taking advantage of this period, the ship should try its best to sail away from the sea area where the Eye of Death frequently occurs. The rest is
Leave it to luck.
Therefore, when transporting goods in the past few years, they would try to choose to go to sea in the first few days of Sunday, so as not to directly collide with the maelstrom...
But this year was different. The Holy See blocked the harbor town, causing them to leave the harbor a little too late!
Linn ignored it and quickly walked to the goods stacked on the deck, picked up a few wooden barrels, shook the weight, and dropped the barrels in different directions and angles. Then he stretched his right hand flat and began to measure.
the relative distances of these objects.
Personally speaking, it is completely impossible to calculate the diameter and flow rate of a large whirlpool just by relying on a few drifting wooden barrels as reference objects.
But this level of computing power is child's play for Zhi Nao...
"The diameter of the large whirlpool is seven kilometers, and the escape speed is... twenty knots! If you want to avoid being sucked into the vortex, you need a speed of at least 20!" Lin En quickly received the analysis results of Zhi Nao, and he could not help but frown.
Wrinkled.
In the previous life, any small boat could reach a speed of just twenty knots. After the energy reform, these old antiques could only pile up in warehouses and eat dust.
However, he is now in a different world of evil. The sailing battleship under their feet seems to have a maximum speed of only...seven knots?
"This is impossible! Even the best alchemy ship in the Wizarding Land can never reach a speed of twenty knots!" Lauder also heard Linn's words and shouted desperately.
Although he doesn't understand what escape velocity is, he knows very well what twenty knots is!
"No, it's possible!" Linn said seriously, throwing aside the helmsman who was lying limp on the ground, and looking at everyone present. "I will take the helm. Everyone, please return to your posts and follow my instructions.
, raise all the sails for me!”
"Do you know anything about ships? With such a big wind and waves, once all the sails are raised, the ship will capsize soon, and all of us will die by then!" The helmsman who had been pushed away by Linn immediately jumped.
He stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs. Under the current situation, he didn't care whether he was a wizard or not.
But the next moment, he swallowed back the words on his lips again, because a huge fireball was condensing in Lin En's palm.
"Do as you are told, or you will die now!" Linn's tone was very cold.
The yellow-white white phosphorus flames made all the sailors on the deck tremble, and the helmsman was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
However, this is a situation where death is inevitable. In despair, not many people obey orders at all. Some people even think that dying under witchcraft is better than having their souls swallowed into a maelstrom.
At this moment, the sound of the winch rotating violently came over. Linn and others turned their heads and looked over. The person who did it was actually Jonny!
At this moment, the girl was holding a sail rope tightly and putting it on the winch. Continuous raindrops fell from the top of her head, flowing through the ends of her hair and her delicate profile, making her clothes wet, but Qiong
But Ni didn't care, and pulled harder and harder until the last loop of rope was firmly fixed on the winch.
"Since you have no other choice, then sitting here is just waiting for death!" Jonny stared at everyone present with his sapphire-like eyes, and said resolutely.
Lauder quickly cheered up, took out the long whip from his waist, whipped a sailor who was kneeling on the ground to pray, and shouted in annoyance.
"Do it, do it for me, raise all the sails!"
