Lugia, my name of the elf

In the 24th year of the storm calendar, December [-]th.

On the fourth branch of the island, the dock of Baofeng Shipyard was crowded with people and quite lively.

It has been a long time since Cage, a storm scholar and a master of engineering and shipbuilding, took over the shipbuilding shipyard instead of his father;

For the first time, he received an important person from the main island of Storm, Ryan who had just been promoted to the chancellor recently.

···

"Lord Ryan, I didn't expect that you would need a giant ocean-going sailing ship so soon. I have already read your request, and there is no problem at all. This new sailing ship will definitely be able to successfully complete Her Majesty's mission; you know, this ship... ." Cage stood in front of the "artwork" he created with his own hands, with a red face and a proud tone, talking non-stop to Ryan, one of the three most powerful people in the empire.

"..." A faint smile appeared on Ryan's face. The half-hundred-year-old man looked at the giant sailboat docked quietly on the pier, and his still bright eyes showed admiration from time to time.

This is an extremely large sailing ship, and the name "giant" definitely deserves its name.

First, in the past the most common sailing vessel within the tribe was the sloop;

This kind of similar light sailing boat is what the tribal people are most accustomed to, and most of them are modified from the "big oar boats" of the Seven Islands period;

Since the sloop can only hold a huge canvas, the amount of wind power it can convert is really limited.

Therefore, the sloop has huge limitations in its carrying capacity of cargo and people.

The only advantage is that the lightness and dexterity of the dhow are most suitable for traveling between the main island and the sub-islands multiple times.

But in front of Ryan, there was a sailboat behind Cage, but it was a multi-masted dhow;

Its whole body is as white as the waves on the beach. As it floats quietly on the pier, people can't help but admire its magnificence.

The size and volume of this giant sailing ship are dozens of times larger than the previous sloop. It can be said that its carrying capacity has been enhanced to an epic level.

Therefore, let alone humans, even huge elves can easily carry nearly a hundred of them.

And on the bow and stern sides of the ship, a large number of special wooden piles are customized to protrude outward.

These wooden piles are used by elf trainers to provide "landing platforms" for flying elves to take off and land from the ship.

This requirement is the key requirement of Ryan. The mission of this voyage is to explore the "volcanic island", to develop two brand-new elves and incorporate them into the empire's territory.

At the same time, this is also the first voyage worthy of the name and recorded in history;

Establish outposts to conduct extensive scientific research activities, as well as future "Trials of the Storm" for Academy students.

Although these sturdy wooden piles protruding outwards somewhat affect the overall appearance of the giant sailboat;

But in order to allow some of the accompanying elf trainers and scientific researchers from many colleges to respond promptly when encountering danger, Cage and other shipbuilders could only rush to complete their needs day after day.

Compared with the sloop, this reinforced version of the multi-masted dhow has an incredible number of more masts;

On top of the multi-masts, various types of white canvases of different sizes are hung at different angles and heights.

After Ryan looked at the white canvases at different angles and sizes above him, he knew;

This giant sailboat can not only perfectly convert more wind power, but also can easily cope with various complex and harsh environments.

It can be said that on a windy sea, there is no situation where the ship cannot sail.

Unless the captain himself has no intention of sailing forward...

And many eye-catching pure white canvases, combined with its own pure white hull;

The two kinds of white complement each other in appearance, which makes people subconsciously think of the white moonlight shining on the sea level late at night, which makes people fascinated and intoxicated.

Without investigating, Lane could almost assert;

This must be the castle on the sea that every girl has in her countless youthful dreams. If she can stay with her loved one forever on this beautiful sailing ship;

Sailing on the waves under the moonlight would be such a romantic and beautiful thing.

"I think if Her Majesty the Queen and the seven goddesses see it, they will be extremely happy... Oh, I don't know if the goddesses of the four islands have visited in advance... "While listening to Cage's words, Ryan stared at the white sailboat in front of him. Looking at the promising prospects, his thoughts could not help but wander a little.

"..., she was built by more than ten of the top senior shipbuilders of Storm Shipbuilding Company using all the current craftsmanship and the best technology. Most of the natural disasters in our common sense can be perfectly overcome. ..." Facing Ryan, Cage was rarely talkative, and he took the trouble to explain in detail, proudly.

"The Storm above is really a great masterpiece that can be recorded in "History of Storms"; however, I heard that this sailboat used a brand-new technology?" Ryan couldn't bear to interrupt Cage, who looked proud, but for the sake of To save time, he can only get to the point quickly.

"Haha, Master Ryan's information is indeed well-informed; yes, this giant sailboat is made of special materials that are seamlessly bonded from top to bottom. This is a superb craft that can only be achieved through the hard work of countless heart bats and natural birds. . Therefore, even if this white sailing ship faces huge waves that are enough to capsize itself, as long as the hull is not broken or shattered, the seawater will not penetrate into the cabin, achieving an 'absolute seal' effect." Kai Qi's eyes were full of brilliance and excitement, and he returned.

"Bachelor Cage, there will be no seawater immersion, which means..." Ryan was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the white sailboat in front of him, his breathing became heavy.

"Lord Ryan has a good idea. This means that as long as a specially-made giant sailing ship lowers its sails in time before the storm comes, it will never have to worry about sinking; and having such an ability means that the footsteps of our empire's people, You will truly travel to a wider world." As Cage spoke, the characteristic fanaticism of a dreamer began to appear on his face again, and his tone couldn't help but become aggravated.

"This is really exciting news." Ryan glanced around at the giant white sailboat and couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, this is just a beautiful, theoretical conjecture at the moment; the giant sailboat still needs subsequent innovation, transformation and upgrading; after all, the current test data and core indicators, as well as the true nature of this sailboat The limit of sailing mileage, and how far it will reach, still needs to be tested by practice." As expected of a storm scholar, when Cage faced reality and dealt with professional issues, his previously excited expression gradually calmed down. Come down and analyze it rationally.

"Bachelor Cage, please be humble. The sailing ship in front of you is enough to shock everyone in the empire. I believe that even those who are picky will not hesitate to praise you." After all, Ryan is not a shipbuilding expert, but facing the tribe's most powerful Ryan still attaches great importance to top professional scholars and the minimum courtesy and respect.

"Besides, the open ocean may not really be the mission that people of our time have to shoulder..." At the same time, Ryan, who was slightly disappointed and regretful, silently added this sentence in his heart.

Human lifespan is limited, even if the empire already has an "eternal cathedral" that can delay life;

But facing the unpredictability of technology and the long time it takes for scientific development, Ryan does not have too many expectations or hopes for this.

After all, compared to many old people from the Seven Islands era;

He, Ryan, has seen enough and experienced enough, and he should be content.

"Sir Ryan, I am not being modest; in fact, the shipbuilders here think that I invented a new type of ship like the multi-masted dhow, but people don't know that such an exquisite hull structure cannot be created by a single person. I only dreamed about the appearance of this beautiful sailboat in my dream. Only then did I understand that this is the true way to conquer the sea." Cage heard Ryan's admiration, but he shook his head disapprovingly. Shake your head to express denial.

"Hey~, Bachelor Cage, be humble, be humble..." A smile appeared on Ryan's lips and he waved his hands repeatedly. He expressed his disapproval of Cage's views and insisted.

After all, Storm Scholar-Cage’s humble name;

It was very famous within the empire, to the point where everyone knew it.

It must be a dream or something, but it must be the humble words of a scholar and cannot be taken seriously.

In order to maintain the awe and exploration of science, and to spur ourselves;

Ryan knew that all of these Storm Scholars had a modesty that seemed a bit "overcorrected" to ordinary people.

Oh, the Storm Scholar of Statistical Science - Datali is naturally an exception, that kid is really crazy...

Seeing Justice Lane who didn't believe him at all, Cage could only smile helplessly and awkwardly, and continued to explain the various new functions of the white sailboat.

···

Storm Tower, top;

"Well..., Cage's modesty is true, but his words are also true. If I hadn't had a dream in time to show him the appearance of the multi-masted dhow in my previous life..." Lugia looked at the man in front of him. Cage and Ryan, who were communicating on the fourth island, were thinking dumbfounded.
