Lugia, my name of the elf

Three months later, the island was divided into four;

Under the high expectations of everyone, a strange ship that the people of the Storm Tribe had never imagined made its debut.

To be precise, the sails are not hung on this ship;

Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a sail, after all, it is just a huge piece of hemp tied with wooden sticks;

On the pier, countless curious tribesmen gathered. With curiosity, they came to observe the public experiment of new ships;

Because the news that Storm Shipyard was developing a new type of ship spread like wildfire;

Although it has not spread to the other six islands, it is already known to everyone in the four sub-islands and the Temple of Storms.

After hearing the news, the people who came to see it all knew that it was a magical boat that could sail with the sea wind without relying on manpower;

In other words, the new type of ship currently being developed at Baofeng Shipyard can keep sailing as long as the sea breeze can be kept constant.

···

"You said, aren't the people in this shipyard fooling around? Without strong warriors paddling hard inside, how could the ship run on its own? Could it be that these pieces of wood have a mind of their own?"

"I don't know either. I heard that it relies on the power of the sea breeze to push forward. I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out the specific operation. But after all, they are all the most skilled and capable shipbuilders in the tribe. Let’s wait and see what masterpiece comes out of the research.”

"Hey, you heard this news wrong. I obviously heard that it was the innovative idea of ​​the son of the shipyard's chief captain. Did you see those weird wooden sticks standing on the ship? Those are actually Cage's. idea."

"Really or not, that young man is really good at it. He is indeed the son of an old boatman. It seems he has hope of inheriting his father's craftsmanship."

"Stop talking, look, they're boarding the ship!"

"...."

The curious tribesmen looked at the busy shipyard workers from a distance, eagerly looking forward to it, and they talked non-stop.

In the shipyard, every shipwright's face was filled with excitement and joy;

Three months have been enough to prove that Cage's idea is completely correct and feasible.

Stand the stick on the boat, and then tie a large piece of linen cloth to both ends of the stick;

If there is a sea breeze, the linen on the ship will be affected by the sea breeze, which will push the entire ship to sail.

Moreover, no manpower is required.

Not only that, but the paddling mode can also be retained;

With the power of the sea breeze and the rowing of many warriors, the ship's skyrocketing speed had already shocked all the boatmen.

The shipwrights at the shipyard boarded the ship excitedly and were confident about the next experiment;

They have notified the Temple of Storm on Storm Island and informed the high priest of this great experiment that could change the course of the tribe;

And they can take the opportunity of the experiment to leave the fourth island, go directly to the Storm God Island and meet the priest.

The priest has already replied to all the shipwrights in the shipyard. Once the experiment they mentioned is successful, everyone will be able to receive a huge amount of material rewards.

The high priest himself and the leaders of many sub-islands will also board the ship to carefully observe the epoch-making masterpiece that took the shipbuilding workshop three months to complete.

···

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cage's old father also gave orders to everyone and ordered:

"Hang up the linen, tie it up, and we're ready to sail."

But at this moment, everyone who was in a state of excitement ignored an extremely fatal thing;

That's right now, against the wind;

A boatman next to Cage's father looked embarrassed and said blankly:

"Uh, this, the head of the ship, there is a headwind now, and we have all removed the oars, so the ship can't sail out!"

"Ah, this..." Cage's old father was stunned when he heard the report of his boatman, and he didn't react for a while.

Then, when he felt the headwind hitting him, the captain's eyes widened and he immediately exclaimed:

"Oops, did we forget this!?" He felt extremely embarrassed and panicked.

At the same time, everyone's faces started to turn green due to ignoring such a crucial factor.

"Oh, why did you forget the situation during the headwind?!" Cage, who was standing aside, also had a dark expression on his face. He couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the headwind on the sea, and he suddenly woke up.

The fact that there was a headwind at this moment reached the ears of every boatman;

And everyone, you look at me, I look at your confused state, and you don’t know what to do.

In fact, in previous successful experiments, the actual process was that the weather was calm that day, and the new ship was propelled by oars when it set sail;

The successful demonstration of Cage's point was when the boat relied on human power to row to the center of the sea, and then after everyone stopped rowing, everyone clearly felt it;

The sea breeze was blowing the huge hemp cloth tied to the wooden sticks, which in turn pushed the entire ship forward through the waves.

But everyone who was immersed in great joy did not think of the core and most important thing;

Going with the wind, of course anyone can understand;

But if the ship is facing a headwind, how will it sail?

Do we have to give up and set sail on a day with favorable winds?

"General bow, should we press the oars again? Anyway, being able to go with the wind is already a great thing. Sailing against the wind is impossible no matter how you think about it. I believe that the high priest will not blame you. of."

Hearing this, Cage's father had an incomprehensible look on his face. He still couldn't imagine that so many shipbuilders would forget such an important thing;

This kind of ridiculous and silly thing, if you tell it to children, they will probably think it is fake and made up.

But a group of adults did make such an unforgivable mistake.

"Hey, since that's the case, it has to be like this." Cage's father could only shake his head helplessly. He secretly blamed himself, never expecting that he himself would be so stupid and negligent.

"Going against the wind, well, it is indeed impossible. I am too naive and too ideal..." Cage clenched his fists. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to give up.

At this time, all the boatmen, including Cage and his son, looked speechless and embarrassed;

After all, sailing by sea breeze is something that breaks ordinary people's perceptions and concepts. It is almost impossible for anyone to remain rational under such an impact.

Moreover, many shipwrights in the shipyard had completely forgotten about the headwind situation during previous experiments, and they were so carried away that they almost drifted away;

In order to demonstrate the extraordinary results of the experiment, they even removed the original oars from the ship.

It was like lifting a rock and hitting myself in the foot.

Now, everyone has learned a lesson, and they have suffered because of being immersed in joy in the past.

"Hurry up and press the oars. We can't delay the scheduled time. Otherwise, if the high priest and others are impatient and blamed, we may have no way to end it." Cage's father carried the huge oar and took the lead. He ordered towards the other boatmen who had not yet responded.

Hearing this, the boatmen, including Cage, immediately became active.

···

"Strange, what are they doing?!"

"I don't know, hey, what are they holding in their hands? Oh, is it a paddle?!"

"Didn't they say that their new ships can sail on the sea without rowing oars? Why do they need to install oars again?"

"No, I heard that the high priest will personally inspect this new type of ship. Is there any accident?"

"Hey, let's take a look again. I hope nothing happens."

"...."

On the shore, a group of tribal people watching the excitement were also puzzled by the strange behavior of the shipyard workers on the dock, and did not understand what happened;

···

Deep ocean currents, whirlpools;

Lugia looked at the people in the shipyard who were busy above, and couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face.

Let’s put aside the low-level mistakes of these people;

Can't a sailboat move forward in a headwind?

The answer is, of course, we can move forward;

Although it is impossible to go completely straight against the wind, it is entirely possible to go back and forth against the sea breeze in a zigzag route.
