In the blink of an eye, many days passed.

The wooden boat of the White Stone Tower sailed down the Emerald River, stopping for several days in two larger cities, eventually reaching more than 50 people on board.

After that, the wooden boat sailed to the mouth of the sea and entered the endless sea.

After half a day of driving on the sea, a dark shadow appeared on the sea.

When you get closer, you can see that it is a huge ship.

If a wooden ship is like a hill, then a giant ship is like an island. Richard estimated that the displacement was at least a few thousand tons.

That's an exaggerated level.

In fact, the shipbuilding technology in the Middle Ages was not developed, and most of them were sea ships with a displacement of tens or hundreds of tons.

In the Age of Discovery, after the Middle Ages, shipbuilding was attacked by leaps and bounds, but the displacement was still difficult to reach 1,000 tons.

Until modern times, giant ships of several thousand tons were relatively common, and tens of thousands of tons could only be reached by ocean-going freighters, large warships or aircraft carriers.

As the ship got closer, Richard saw more details, and finally his eyes fell on a part of the hull near the water. Raising his eyebrows, he noticed something unusual.

It was a structure that was half-submerged under water, closely connected to the hull of the ship, but protruding sharply forward, like a large nose growing out of the smooth hull.

This is a bulbous bow.

Richard thought to himself.

This is something that does not belong to the Middle Ages at all.

If the volume and displacement of the ship can be forcibly piled up, but the bulbous bow is different, this is completely a creation of science and technology.

When the hull travels on the sea surface, the resistance caused by the waves in the opposite direction of the hull is called wave resistance. The energy of the undulating waves of the ship is supplied by the hull, and the existence of wave resistance consumes part of the power of the propelled ship in a sense.

With the bulbous bow attached, the bulbous nose will generate a wave from the trough, and the hull head wave will start from the crest. After some adjustments, the trough of the bulb head wave system generated by the bulb nose coincides with the crest of the main hull wave system, which can achieve the effect of wave dissipation, reduce the drag of the ship's navigation, and reduce the propulsion power consumption, with an amplitude of about 10%.

The amplitude of 10% is not visible in the general voyage, but it is very important in long-range voyages, especially in the long-distance voyages of huge ships with large displacement.

Even so, even though the bulbous bow has an important role, the bulbous bow is not something that can be made if you want to, it is an extremely complex system, which was only studied in the 20th century on modern earth, and is mainly used on warships. Some data must be carefully calculated, otherwise not only can not achieve the effect of reducing resistance, but also may increase resistance.

That is to say, it is a creation that is completely ahead of its time, and it is now appearing right now.

It seems that the current world, although similar to the Middle Ages, is not exactly the same because of the influence of wizards or other factors. Something has changed, including a certain level of technology.

There seem to be more and more secrets in this world.

Richard thought as the wooden ship stopped beside the ship.

Everyone was standing on the deck, looking up at the tall ship, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and a man stepped out of the cabin.

It's Seaver the Wizard.

During the many days of the ship's ride, everyone had come to know the sorcerer, who was not very talkative, and had seen him punish the wrongdoers with thunder. As soon as he saw Seaver appear, he immediately got out of the way.

Seaver didn't say much, didn't see any movement, stepped on his feet, and the whole person floated up and floated onto the giant ship. Everyone on the deck of the wooden ship exclaimed, almost all of them were amazed by the magic of the spell and the power of the wizard.

When Seaver boarded the ship, he was supposed to be communicating with the people on the ship, and in a moment many figures appeared on the edge of the deck of the ship, lowered the wooden ladder, and let everyone climb up.

After boarding the giant ship, everyone really realized the size of the giant ship, and couldn't help but be amazed again, even Gro's eyes widened. Richard didn't react much, after all, there are bigger ships on the modern earth, and Pandora's eyes were not open, his eyes were closed, and his head was little by little, following Richard step by step.

After that, it was time to divide the cabins, and at this time, some of the classes finally showed their effect.

The ship is so large that the cabins below deck are divided into three levels.

The first floor closest to the deck is where only students with high wizard talent are eligible to live there.

The second floor, a little further from the deck, is occupied by moderately gifted students.

As for the third floor, which is near the bottom of the boat, it is occupied by students with low or no talent who have boarded the ship through a certificate of exemption.

When you go down to the third floor, you can clearly feel the low crampedness, dampness and coldness here, and the overall environment is completely dirty and messy, and it lives with the sailors on the ship, which simply challenges the limit of patience of many people.

But it can only be like this, in the face of the wizard's order, no one dares to disobey.

Richard didn't mind much. For him, some living conditions can be made to a minimum, as long as they do not affect normal activities.

Wanting to avoid being disturbed, Richard chose a cabin at the end of the corridor on the third floor and walked in with Pandora.

After entering the cabin, the door was closed, Pandora put down her suitcase, and staggered to find a bed on her own.

After finding it, sit on it and fall asleep.

But suddenly he raised his head again, opened his eyes, frowned, touched the bed and said to Richard, "Wet!"

Wet, very wet indeed.

Because the cabin is underwater, the air humidity is very high, and because the shipbuilding process is not very high, there is water seeping out of some crevices, making the whole cabin wet. The bulkheads were covered with moss, and there were even snails, shells, and the like, and a green-shelled crab crawling around in the corner.

The bedding was so wet that it could almost wring out water, and after just staying in this cabin for a while, there was a sticky feeling on my body, which was caused by the excessive humidity of the air and the inability of sweat to dissipate normally, and it was no wonder that the sleepy Pandora couldn't sleep.

However, this did not bother Richard.

A simple spell to get it.

His lips opened and closed slightly, the free energy elements in his body surged, and the "Water Drop Condensation" spell was quickly released.

The moisture in the air quickly collected towards Richard's fingertips, then turned into drops of water, which, under Richard's control, fell into a wooden barrel in the cabin.

By the time the barrel was almost full, the cabin was dry, as if it had been exposed to the sun. The moss turned from emerald green to yellow, and the snails and shells attached to the bulkheads fell off one after another.

Pandora tentatively touched the futon again, nodded in satisfaction, and then fell asleep.

Richard threw all the snails, shells, and blue-shelled crabs into the barrel, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when there was a knock on the cabin door.

"Bang bang!"
