The Cursed Ship

Reminded by Zheng Yang, Luo Funi and Alima observed carefully and finally discovered the mystery.

At this time, the wave height exceeded two meters, the wind reached level five, and the ship's speed reached more than 30 knots.

The feeling of the hull undulating with the waves is obvious, but there is not much shaking.

It does not pitch forward and backward, nor does it swing left and right. The sea water under the entire hull moves forward horizontally, so its force is also balanced. It only fluctuates up and down with a wide range of waves, and the shaking is very slight and slow.

"How is this done? Wait... I see, the craft of making this ship incorporates alchemy, right?"

As the inheritor of alchemy, Luo Funi quickly thought of the key.

This is very similar to a certain effect of amplifying the enchanting method, which is equivalent to applying some kind of enchantment to a large ship, so that the large ship has the ability to maintain stability in the wind and waves, which is easy for her to understand.

It's just that this enchantment is countless times stronger than hers.

God! She was tired of enchanting a pistol, how could anyone enchant such a big ship?

Luo Funi opened her mouth wide in shock. Of course, she also thought that this might not be enchantment, but some kind of mysterious shipbuilding skill similar to the effect of enchantment.

"It's no wonder that Zheng Yang's family likes to build this kind of forest boat. It turns out that they have such a magical inheritance!"

Facing the eyes of Alima and Luo Funi, Zheng Yang nodded with a smile: "There is a mysterious magic circle on the boat, of course I don't understand those, I only know how to use it!"

Now it is appropriate to reveal a little bit of the magic of the spirit ship to make them feel at ease, and it is estimated that they will let them know about the spirit ship sooner or later. After all, the information about the spirit ship is not an absolute secret in this world.

Even a mosquito man's book collection can mention a lot of information, and the post on the secret society forum also mentioned the spirit ship. There must be other channels for people to know the existence of the spirit ship.

In fact, Zheng Yang already trusted Luo Funi and Alima very much now, and felt that it would be alright to let them know that it was a spirit ship, as long as it was not leaked to the outside world.

"Take your time and let them know that this boat is a little bit extraordinary! But we still want to keep it a secret from Tennok and Lola for the time being."

However, after hearing what Zheng Yang said, Luo Funi and Alima did not feel at ease.

"Our main concern is that it is easy to encounter strange things in this bad weather..."

Zheng Yang's self-confidence suddenly froze on his face.

It shouldn't be... right?

Although he was determined to deal with the evil, Zheng Yang would not be afraid if the weather was better, such as that kind of fog. But fighting against evil in this bad weather will undoubtedly put a heavier burden on the spirit ship.

After thinking about it, Zheng Yang felt that when the spirit boat was thirteen meters long, he could carry it down from the environment of the Ross Sea. Now such a big ship, it is impossible to be unable to carry it here.

Everyone originally wanted to blow the wind for a while after lunch, and then take a nap, but when they encountered a school of fish, more than an hour passed after a toss.

This will look like the sky will change, and everyone will return to the cabin to rest.

The spirit boat advanced for more than 60 nautical miles, and two hours later, it finally started to rain heavily outside. The sea was pitch black, and the searchlights on the ship could only illuminate a very small area.

It is so dark, which means that the clouds above are thick, and the rain will be heavy and long-lasting.

Everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor, watching the first storm in the journey through the windows, and feeling the power of nature.

The wind further strengthened, reaching a strong force of six, and the wind direction is southwest.

The howling of the wind, the lightning pierced the darkness, and the low altitude hit the sea, which made people tremble with fear. The waves are three to four meters high, which is very scary to watch.

But the spirit boat is still moving forward steadily, with a speed close to 37 knots, cutting through the waves all the way.

A layer of faint light glowed from the outside of the hull, and whenever a big wave hit the hull, the hull only shook slightly, and then slowly swayed.

At this time, the big waves had already become docile under the influence of the magic circle, turned into a steady tide and rolled forward, carrying the big ship forward.

"Boom..."

A loud noise suddenly came from the sky, and the sea outside was as bright as day, and it returned to its original state the next moment.

The lights in the cabin flickered a few times, and then the sound rumbled away. Everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning on top of their heads, and they all froze.

In fact, the main mast in the middle was split, and the lightning energy was guided into the seawater at the bottom of the ship along a steel bar implanted in the center of the mast. During this process, the magic circle on the ship lit up slightly, intercepting a small half of the lightning energy.

The wild goose has plucked its hair.

Zheng Yang sensed that the lightning pattern in the crystal ball was greedily absorbing some strange factor in the lightning energy, and integrated it into the pattern itself. That is the power that belongs to the law, not pure energy. Pure energy is transformed into spiritual energy and stored in the crystal ball.

"Just now, were we attacked by lightning?"

Eva realized it later, and then she shrank her head and hid in Arima's arms, asking loudly.

Zheng Yang looked amused and said, "Yes, don't be afraid, our boat is not afraid of lightning strikes!"

"The performance of this boat has exceeded my expectations, it is too stable!"

Tennok stared at the wine glass on the coffee table in awe. The wine glass didn't move, only the wine in it swayed slowly, and the 80% full wine didn't spill out.

"Our draft is too shallow. If we load one or two hundred tons of cargo in the cargo hold, it will be more stable. Of course, in that case, our speed will be much slower."

Just as Zheng Yang finished speaking, there was another thunderbolt above his head.

This time it was split on the fore mainmast.

After the bright light outside passed, the lights in the hall flickered again.

"Looks like we've entered a minefield!"

Zheng Yang sensed that the thunder and lightning patterns in the crystal ball were feasting again, and a smile appeared on his face.

The lightning energy on the surrounding sea is very abundant, and the efficiency of the sails absorbing and transforming spiritual energy is extremely high.

Originally, due to the full operation of the cold storage, the power reserve was a bit insufficient. At this time, due to the overflow of the psionic energy reserve in the crystal ball, the psionic energy was converted into electricity to feed back the battery, and the power reserve began to increase gradually.

"This is really a very good journey experience!" Tenok sipped the high alcohol in his glass and laughed heartily. This guy doesn't seem to be worried about the weirdness in the storm at all.

"With such a boat, I can really rest assured!" Alima also said.

When she was still a junior and got the building boat, she had already made an appointment with Zheng Yang to take Eva to various places to find materials, just like their teacher took her and Luo Funi back then.

Now that it is replaced by this more stable big ship, the comfort and safety are greatly improved, and Alima is naturally more satisfied.

"I'm going up to sail, the wind direction in this area is not stable, I have to retract the square sail!"

Zheng Yang talked to them, went upstairs and returned to the cockpit.

As soon as the square sail and bowsail were furled, the speed of the ship dropped sharply, leaving only 16 knots. It was early three o'clock in the afternoon, and they had already passed half of their journey today.

But if they can only maintain a speed of 16 knots, it will take at least ten hours before they can reach their first destination.

There was constant thunder and frequent lightning. At this time, Zheng Yang could see the sea ahead with his naked eyes without relying on searchlights. But you can't see too far, because the rain is too heavy.

However, there is a strange eye, these are not a problem, and the absolute darkness and dense fog cannot affect Zheng Yang's monitoring of the sea within 40 nautical miles.
