Chapter 769: Navigation to the Far North, Six Tests from the Lord God!
The sun was warm and warm, and the light of the lake was shining calmly. The two young divine priests, under the warm and bright sky, imagined the cold wave and huge waves, and their expressions became solemn.
"O Lord God! Go further north at 50 degrees north latitude, thousands of miles away!... Is that the end of the world? How terrifying is it?!"
"Zuvarro, don't think blindly. Look, what the far north is like, His Majesty the Divine Enlightenment has written it in the prophecy!"
As he spoke, Mikey, the learned man, showed reverence on his face and read the words devoutly.
"...From the fourth leg of the voyage onwards, the exploratory voyages are generally north of 50 degrees north latitude. You need to face extremely low temperatures, large polar waves, channel ice and fog, extreme day and night, periodic freezes, and cold wave snowstorms.
..Probably the celestial test of the Sixth Level Lord God!..."
Hearing these unexplained and terrifying words, the second-level priest Zuvalo trembled all over. In his keen perception, he had already sensed the ominous situation... But the matter was already here, the burden was heavy, and there was no way out.
Be able to move forward wholeheartedly!
"Witness the Lord God! The first test is the extremely low temperature! The further north you go, the colder the temperature will be. Before leaving the 'Seattle' ice-free port, you must prepare thick fur coats and multiple stored fires.
, and there is enough firewood and coal fuel... Well, there are multiple full-body cotton armors on the fleet, which can also be used in emergencies! As for more details... you go to the local tribesmen and ask them for advice.
..."
"Of course, the best way is to spread the faith of the main god and form an alliance with the local tribes... Then, pull the local fishermen on board. These local tribes are familiar with the arctic climate and coastal hydrology, and they will be your best
helper!"
"Hmm? Extremely low temperatures? How low will it be?"
Seeing this, Zuvalo looked puzzled and thought about it. For Prepecha people like them who were born in the tropical plateau, the lowest temperature that they can imagine is the ice and snow on the Yanfeng Mountain and the Star Mountain Mountain. Unless they are in person.
Otherwise, they would not be able to imagine what the severe cold in the far north is like!
"However, the Lord God bless you! Invite the local tribes to join the gang... I have a lot of experience in this regard..."
"Praise the Lord God! I am willing to withstand your test and will not regret it until death!"
The mind of the knowledgeable Mickey is much simpler. No matter what difficulties he faces, he only needs to follow His Majesty's divine inspiration, firmly believe in the blessing of the Lord God, and face the difficulties! Thinking of this, Mickey's eyes are bright and he looks down.
read.
"The second test is the polar wave. This kind of wave is very big and very high, even higher than the walls of Qin Cong Can City!... The reason for its formation, well, should be the collision of cold and warm ocean currents!
As for the specific causes...you must learn to think for yourself and penetrate the fog of the world!"
"...In any case, don't be afraid if you encounter big polar waves! Don't stay away from the coast and island chains, and don't go deep into the ocean! You should build more shelters on the shipping routes, use insulating wood and rocks, or dig semi-underground shelters.
residence, and then store as much food and fuel as possible in the shelter... As for how to build the shelter specifically, I still say the same thing, learn from the local tribes, or directly pull them on board..."
"Build docked shelters? Store food and fuel?..."
Second-level priest Zuvalo pondered in his heart. If the environment is really so difficult, then I am afraid that the size of the fleet will be reduced in the second half of the voyage. Maybe two or three ships will be the limit of supplies. And other ships,
Then you have to transport supplies back and forth from the rear.
"The third test is channel ice and fog. In the second half of the voyage to the west, you may encounter ice floes on the sea surface and diffuse heavy fog. The causes of these two should also be...well, and the cold current
It's related to the warm current... By the way, I remembered it! When you go west, there should be a warm current going along, and the boat speed will be faster. Of course, when you come back, it will be slower... Well,
This should be!"
"...God bless us! Our ship is more flexible and has a shallow draft. We should avoid it as soon as possible when encountering ice floes, and we should dock as soon as possible when encountering heavy fog... So remember! Again, don't leave the coast where navigation is indicated.
In the island chain, build more shelters along the way and bring locals who are familiar with the environment on board!”
After seeing His Majesty's instructions, Zuvalo thought about it and asked.
"Miki, the learned one, is there any ship in the whole world with a deeper draft than the longships of our kingdom?"
"Ah? If our longship is fully loaded, it can have a maximum draft of two meters... It should be the deepest draft in the entire world!"
Mickey the Knowledgeable thought for a moment and added another sentence.
"However, your Majesty has received divine enlightenment and must have seen a deeper ship! What your Majesty said is naturally true!"
"Uh...praise your majesty, praise the gods!"
Second-level priest Zuvalo lowered his head and prayed. Then, he couldn't wait and looked down again.
"The fourth test is extreme day and night. This is a strange celestial phenomenon! You have all studied the alliance's calendar and know that from spring to autumn, the days are longer, with the longest period being in extreme summer; from autumn to spring, the nights are longer.
It is long, and the longest point is in extreme winter... And the further north you go, the greater the difference between day and night! Even when you reach about 60 degrees north latitude, you can be in 'extreme summer',
When you see the whole day, there is not a trace of darkness. But in the 'extreme winter', you see the whole sky, which is dark, but there is not a trace of light..."
"Don't be alarmed, don't be afraid! The Lord God testifies that no matter the polar day or the polar night, it is just a strange celestial phenomenon that comes and goes in the far north every year! Its cause is... well, the periodic patrol of the sun god, from the north
The sky reaches to the south... Oh, if you are lucky, you can also see the colorful aurora at night! It is like ink scattered in the sky, it is extremely beautiful..."
"And what I want to advise you is to try your best to start the most difficult westward voyage from spring to autumn, March, April to September and October! Because you need vision to move along the island chain...
Similarly, there is another crucial reason, which is the cycle freeze that I will talk about next..."
After reading this, the knowledgeable Mickey and the second-level priest Zuvalo looked at each other, and their expressions showed shock. In the mythology of the alliance, celestial phenomena always correspond to the human world, indicating the fate of the respected ones! And Jiri and Ji
At night, what do the colorful aurora indicate?
"This is the test of the Lord God, and it is also her attention. At the end of the world, it is waiting for the exploration of divine revelation!"
Mikey the Knowledgeable summed it up concisely and to the point. Whatever these celestial phenomena meant, it should not have come out of their mouths.
"Praise the Lord God! Her power is endless, even if she is thousands of miles away and above the nine heavens!"
Second-level priest Zuvalo also prayed. Then, the two nodded, and when they looked down again, they felt more awe and caution from the myth.
"The fifth test is periodic freezing. The sun brings warmth, and darkness brings coldness. In the second half of the voyage, there will be periodic freezing along the coast, which is similar to the change of day and night, roughly from autumn to spring... As for the specifics
You must ask the local tribes about the time. Your exploration must be from spring to autumn, when the days are longer, the temperature is warm, and there is no freeze! The construction of the shelter is precisely to allow you to survive the freeze.
, there are places to avoid the cold, keep warm, and supply food... Remember, don’t rush, take your time, and be well prepared!..."
"As for the last test, the cold wave and snowstorm. This is due to the cold air suddenly moving south in the far north... Well, it is the northern continent, and a terrible disaster has come! Overnight, the snow can even be as tall as a person, and the vegetation
All those who are exposed will freeze to death...and the arrival of this climate is roughly at the same time as the freeze. Therefore, it is important for you to store enough fuel and food to survive the long cold winter.
life and death!"
After reading this, both of them took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time. The second-level priest Zuvalo closed his eyes and prayed from the bottom of his heart for a while before he mustered up the courage again. The knowledgeable Mickey gritted his teeth and held a sincere heart.
Faith, look at His Majesty’s final warning.
"...Remember! In the second half of the voyage to the far north, you will encounter many terrible climates that you have never seen before, or even unimaginable! The test of these Lord Gods is likely to exceed my divine revelation and exceed everyone's expectations.
Expected. And your best response... is to convert the local tribes, save their souls, and let them join the fleet!..." "Witness the Lord God! The tribes in the far north are our earliest separated brothers. They have been separated for a long time.
After thousands of years of testing by the Lord God! The experience they have passed down from generation to generation will definitely save your lives and make this extremely difficult divine exploration possible to succeed!"
