The Journey of the Infinite Wizard
Chapter 737: Exploration
Although the pirate industry has become extremely prosperous due to plundering merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty and merchant ships of other countries. Although countries secretly support the pirates and sell stolen goods for the pirates, compared with the huge profits of the Tang people, which can be called money grabbing, it is still a drop in the bucket. Countries are not satisfied with the Tang people
Control routes and set price rules
, but they did not have the courage to fight. Because the thousands of warships operating in the Mediterranean alone are daunting. Even so, in the face of such enviable overseas trade, governments of various countries also want to open up a new route on their own.
route to the east, thus breaking the monopoly of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the countries on the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the British Isles, and even North Africa, Morocco, and Italy, all embarked on a path of external exploration. They used large sums of money and profits, promised official titles, and recruited people for voyage exploration.
Navigator, opening a new route to the East.
Stimulated by huge sums of money and official titles, many navigators who boasted of their special skills and ambitions to climb up came to the palaces of various countries to meet them. They talked endlessly in front of the thrones of the monarchs of various countries, telling about their expertise and needs.
carry supplies and personnel. At the same time, they require the construction of brand new voyage ships for their exploration. And jealous of Yu
Countries that have made huge profits from overseas trade have agreed to the requirements of these navigators, selected the best high-quality wood, and built new ships for long-distance voyages. At the same time, they have been extremely luxurious and wrapped a layer of copper plates on the bottom of the ship. Thanks to this, part of the profits
Due to Suez's interests, European countries are obviously richer than in parallel time and space, and their technology has also been greatly improved.
These navigators received support from the government, and then selected crew members with high quality and strong martial arts skills to sail new ships overseas to explore new routes.
They would not go to the Mediterranean, let alone pass through the Suez Canal in the Tang Dynasty's Egyptian province, but explore the Atlantic route. These navigators carried ambitions, hoped for high official titles, and set out to explore the sea routes with longing dreams. However,
, sailing on long seas is extremely difficult, especially in the Atlantic Ocean, where storms are frequent and extremely dangerous. After they go to sea, they must face threats from the sea and limited supplies of materials. They must also endure physical pressure and mental tests.
However, this group of navigators who dared to explore the unknown were different from ordinary people. The same was true for their hand-selected crew members. They kept sailing on the Atlantic Ocean, drawing charts and recording hydrographic and other information along the way.
Important reference conditions. If nothing unexpected happens, these voyagers exploring the outside world will eventually arrive.
The new continent was later named 'America'. But unfortunately, the history of this world has changed greatly, and it is different from the history derived from parallel time and space. The navigators who explored the outside world met on the Atlantic Ocean
A rare storm hit the ship, and the ship was in danger in the violent wind and waves, and it was possible to capsize at any time.
On the rough sea, the strong winds and huge waves are like an angry sea giant. Its fiery temper changes the color of the sea. The rolling waves are like the palms of the sea giant, trying to steer the course on it.
The little bug flipped over.
"Captain, the wind and waves are too big, what should I do?" First mate Smith stumbled all the way, holding on to things on the boat, and walked to the poop with difficulty and shouted to Captain Agarit. In the fierce wind and rain,
Even if he yelled, his voice was almost muffled.
Agalit also shouted loudly, "Tie the ropes and take care of the sails. At the same time, he told everyone to hold on and pay attention to their own safety. The wind and waves will pass, and we must hold on. As long as we hold on to this wave,
We will be safe."
"Yes!" First Mate Smith also understood that in this kind of storm that has never happened in a century, it was useless for him to ask the captain what to do. Because human power is too small compared with the furious nature. Asking the captain was just a question.
It was just for psychological comfort. He began to give instructions to the crew and repeated what the captain had just said.
Snap, whoosh!
"The cable is broken!"
The ropes that tied the sails were inevitably broken in the strong wind. Its break also caused the bulging sails to tilt sideways, and the ship's course began to deviate. The captain was shocked when he saw this, and he yelled
The sailors were ordered to retie the cable, but the broken rope looked like a snake, and the strong wind gave it a huge force.
Power. A crew member was caught off guard and was hit by a rope. In an instant, his body seemed to be hit by a high-speed truck. More than 100 kilograms of flesh flew in the air like feathers, and then fell into the vast sky.
The sea. When both the captain and the crew saw this scene, they all understood that this crew member had no chance of survival.
Snap, whoosh.
Nightmares seemed to come one after another. After the first rope broke, several more ropes broke. After the scene just now, the sailors were naturally cautious and cautious about these ropes that were given strength by the strong wind. They fought hard
They tried their best to fix the broken rope again, but the rope, which was given kinetic energy by the wind, flew around in the air and the sailors could not grasp the rope at all. The deviation of the sail surface also caused the ship to deviate from their planned
route.
"Whirlpool, big whirlpool!!!"
"What!!!"
Captain Agalit heard the sailors' frightened cries and immediately walked to the poop. He took out his binoculars and looked at the sea in the distance. He saw a huge whirlpool blocking their way directly in front of their sailing.
On the road.
"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder, fucking emergency turn the rudder!!!" Agarit yelled in horror. Encountering such a huge sea whirlpool, once their ship encountered it, the chance of survival was zero. He
Roaring, he ran over quickly and personally controlled the ship in an attempt to avoid the sea whirlpool ahead. However, the tilt of the sail and the break of the rope made him want to
It was extremely difficult to turn the ship. At the same time, the constant impact of strong winds and huge waves made the control and driving of the ship even more difficult. At this time, a heart-wrenching sound sounded and a significant black shadow tilted, making
Agalit couldn't help but look at the mast. It was tilting, but before she could speak, the mast began to break!
"It's over!"
He has been sailing for many years, so he naturally knows what it means once the mast breaks. If it is calm and there is still time to repair it, even if it is a smaller storm, he can ask the crew to make emergency repairs. However, this is a violent ocean.
, and at this time, a once-in-a-century storm is occurring, and it is impossible to give him some time to make emergency repairs!
The last thing Agarit saw was the ship under his feet, which was pushed by the wind and waves into the sea whirlpool. Then, there was a spin and the crew screamed. He looked to both sides and clearly saw the ship being dragged in by the sea whirlpool.
Gradually, he was swallowed up. In front of his eyes, a burst of darkness came, and Agarit no longer had any consciousness.
