Chapter 404: Space Expansion
"How does it feel to be on the boat?" Alka asked, looking at the person in front of him.
And in front of him was a Vastwa man wearing gray-blue underwear.
In addition to the blue underwear, he also wore a helmet with a transparent mask on his head.
It looks very futuristic, after all, this clothing style was designed by him and Xia Daiti.
In addition, they also carry a small backpack on their backs, which can be seen to be fastened to some metal objects on the back of their clothes.
There was a faint blue light on the backpack, and one could feel the magic power stored inside.
This is exactly the item obtained from the previous experiment, the magic-proof clothing.
It is constructed with special materials and a spell that can isolate magic power.
However, spells require magic power to maintain, so I made a small backpack battery that can continuously provide magic power.
It would be uneconomical to carry a battery just to isolate magic power, so other functions were added to the clothes.
For example, by more delicately adjusting the concentration of magic power, they can adapt to the magic power outside more quickly.
After all, whether it is the magic power stored in the battery or the magic power that Alka infuses into the space, none of them are more natural than the magic power from the outside world.
This can also help prevent some problems in advance.
The only downside is that these clothes are really just like ordinary fabrics, only a little bit tougher at best.
If it encounters danger, it will easily be damaged, and once damaged, it will naturally lose its protective function.
So from time to time one or two Vastwa people would come out to experience life on the ship.
This time it was Kavala who came out.
Compared to Waku, she did not show any signs of seasickness.
It has to be said that the Vastwa people are a race that has always lived on land, and a surprisingly large number of them suffer from seasickness.
They calculated that about 70% of the people were seasick, which was an extremely exaggerated number.
Fortunately, this kind of seasickness, just like their intolerance to magic, can be adapted to quickly.
For example, Waku, which was the first to come out, basically doesn’t have much of a feel on the ship now.
He would only feel dizzy if there was some kind of tsunami that caused the ship to move too far.
"It feels pretty good, a very novel experience. It would be nice if I could touch the outside world with my own hands someday." After all, my whole body was isolated within the clothes.
And the thickness of the clothes is not low.
So no matter what you do outside, there is a clear sense of barrier.
As he spoke, he came to the side of the boat and looked at the ocean below.
“I really want to jump in and experience it.”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Pororo, who had just been relieved from his shift, jump directly from the top of the observation room.
Then it swam quickly around the ship.
Looking at this scene, Kavala's eyes were full of envy.
Swim in the ocean.
An experience you never imagined.
Alka smiled and went straight to the captain's room without interrupting him.
Xia Daiti was in the captain's room with some drawings placed in front of her.
In front of her was a map of the world.
The world map of the vast ocean, so you can't expect such a world map to allow Alka to see the treasure.
Because there are only some dots on the whole drawing.
There are certain introductions and names around the origin.
If even this can be considered a map, then it would be a bit too perfunctory.
But you have to admit that in the vast ocean, this can really be considered a map.
Look at the dots on the map, which have names next to them.
Alka knew some of the names, such as the Twin Islands and the Southern Cross Islands.
These are used to mark the directions between signposted roads and signposted islands.
Because the entire Infinite Ocean is moving, if the distance between landmark islands is too far, it will be difficult to measure, but the direction will not be a problem.
For example, the sailing time between Southern Cross Island and Gemini Island may differ by about 10 days.
This is the fluctuation caused by the movement of the vast ocean.
The greater the distance between the islands, the greater the range of fluctuations produced.
But the only thing you can be sure of is that at least you know the island is in this direction. If you go in this direction, you won't go wrong.
This is where the problem arises.
Because the boundless ocean is volatile, it is easy to go wrong if you go in one direction without a guiding flag.
This was the problem they discovered the first time they used the Flag of Guidance.
For example, you are clearly sailing in one direction, but if you find a guiding flag, you will find that the direction is constantly changing.
This means that there had been problems with Alka and his crew's sailing direction for a long time, but they themselves did not notice it.
Fortunately, this time it was Urulius himself who replaced the Banner of Guidance.
She can always accurately sense the target's location and even the distance between them.
"Why are you looking at the map?" Alka asked curiously as he sat down next to him.
"Let's see if we will pass by any landmark island." Xia Daiti said, pointing to the map.
As she spoke, she drew an arrow symbol on the signpost island.
Looking at the arrow, Alka immediately understood and said, "When you left, did you draw the direction according to Urulius's instructions?"
Xia Dai nodded.
As mentioned before, the position and direction of the Signpost Island in the Infinite Ocean will not change.
Although they were likely to lose their way while sailing on the sea, they had the flag of Urulius so they were always moving in one direction.
As long as there is a signpost island in the direction they are heading , they will encounter it.
After all, a sea area is very large, and it is easy to encounter other ships in an island chain.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Jason and Juanlu also walked in.
"There are not many supplies on the ship, and there are not many fresh ingredients. If we can reach the signpost island, we can buy some supplies. That's a good thing, isn't it?"
Alka and his men had enough supplies, but even with the help of spells, the fresh supplies could not be stored for long.
Therefore, most of the supplies are dried ingredients, and many of them are relatively simple.
These past few days, I have been able to noticeably feel that some of the food I eat has become more ordinary and has fewer varieties.
Because there is less fresh food on the ship, there are naturally fewer varieties.
More importantly, it was because the supplies of the Vastwa people might not be enough according to their calculations.
The Vastwa people were indeed consuming food much faster than they thought.
After all, they had never prepared supplies for so many people before and had no experience in this area.
Although they have various technologies and can continue to construct nutrient solution through magic, Alka and his friends can also catch fish.
But it's already come to this, and there's no going back to the way things were if I keep taking nutrient solution.
That's just a last resort.
Of course it is better to prepare some food if you can.
“Are there any islands there?”
Xia Daiti shook his head: "Unfortunately, there is no landmark island in this direction."
This is normal, and they are really lucky.
Hearing this, Alka smiled indifferently: "It's okay. We have enough food now to last for several months. We will definitely come across some wandering islands along the way. We can just stay there for a while."
Alka and his companions would often see drifting islands passing by them while sailing on the sea.
However, they seldom go to these drifting islands.
Unless you need to stop sometimes.
Most of these islands are deserted islands, which means there are fewer material resources on them, but if you insist, there is actually quite a lot of food.
After all, this kind of island may not have been visited by anyone for hundreds or thousands of years, so it must have abundant natural resources.
Mainly because of this kind of uninhabited island, there are always some strange things.
The biggest possibility is a wilderness island, full of nature.
Or it may be just bare with nothing on it.
So generally speaking, if you can avoid going, you won’t.
Not to mention that Alka and his crew always sail with a purpose, a clear direction, and sufficient supplies on board.
Nor have I experienced too many accidents at sea.
The main reason is that the Sound of Dawn itself is powerful enough.
"What if the drifting island we encounter happens to be that kind of..."
Before Jason next to him could finish his words, Juanlu covered his mouth.
"Okay, my brother, you'd better shut up at this time." Juanlu said helplessly.
Then he dragged Jason who had just come in and opened the door and went out, completely ignoring Jason's struggle.
Watching Jason .
Alka suddenly said, "Do you think that unlucky words like this that you haven't finished will come true?"
Hearing this, Alka saw Xiadaiti turn around and look at him with speechless eyes.
"Okay, I'm just talking." Alka closed his mouth silently.
At this time, Xia Daiti suddenly asked: "You study these things every day, don't you have any method to quickly eliminate personal aura?"
Hearing this, Alka shook his head: "The Vastwa people don't have such needs, so they naturally won't research this way."
After hearing this, Xia Daiti thought about it and it seemed to be true.
The main thing is that the two treasures they had obtained from Kriel before are still thrown in the dream.
The main problem is that these two treasures are of the type that have good compatibility, and there will be certain risks once they are smelted.
So you can only leave it in the dream and speed up the elimination of your personal aura.
But even so, according to current calculations, it might be necessary for their personal aura to be completely dissipated until they are about to reach their destination.
So in this regard, Alka could only shrug helplessly and had no other choice.
"What about Lucelia's?" Xia Dai asked.
During this period, she paid little attention to the research topics that Alka and others were studying in the temple.
So I don’t know much about these.
"There is some clue, but the problem is that we don't have the materials." Alka said helplessly, leaning back in his chair.
Although they each have their own research directions, they will also take some time to assist Lucelia in studying the soul and the body.
According to the current time calculation, we only need to make a device that can store power. A device that can last for 10 days will be able to forge a matching new treasure.
They already had the design, the problem was there was no matching material.
So we can only wait until we return to the Gemini Islands, or encounter some large target islands.
"What about the puppet girls?"
Xia Dai asked.
"They are in trouble. The devices developed by the Vastwa are of a relatively high-precision type. The materials used have long been extinct.
We couldn’t find any alternative materials, so we were stuck.”
At this point, Alka felt even more helpless, as all the problems were blocked in the direction of materials.
The world has been destroyed and reunited again, and under such circumstances, many ancient materials have long disappeared.
There may be alternatives, but the vast ocean is so vast that it is not easy to find suitable materials.
Although Xia Dai did not understand these details, it was obvious that it would be difficult to make a breakthrough in the short term.
The two were chatting when they heard shouting from the deck outside.
"Simon is calling me."
Alka stood up and walked out, and Xiadaiti also stood up and followed him out.
At this time, Simon, Mathilda and Lucelia all came out on the deck, which was quite rare.
"They're all out? What happened?" Alka asked in surprise.
Simon ran over with an excited look on his face, put his hand directly on Alka's shoulder, and finally brought him to the side.
At this time, there was a row of components placed on the flower bed, which looked a bit like something made of some solid gemstone, framed by unknown materials on the outside.
Alka looked at him with dazed eyes, able to sense an inexplicable connection between these gem components.
Suddenly he blinked, and a crystal-like pupil appeared in his left eye.
He felt a strong breath related to space coming from here.
When he felt this aura, he immediately knew what this thing was used for.
He turned around in surprise and asked, "Space expansion?"
"Haha, that's right." Simon patted him with laughter and could feel his excitement.
Alka took one of the crystals in her hand and looked at the metal frame that encased it.
As you look closely, you will see densely packed inscriptions on it.
The commotion here attracted everyone on the boat to come over.
Including Kavala on board.
"Has it been tested yet?"
"I tried it and successfully doubled the space."
"Try it now."
The people around also knew what this thing was.
Looking at this thing, Xia Dai asked: "So which room should we test it in first?"
At this point Alka felt his shoulders sink, "We have decided to expand the room with the doll girls."
After hearing this decision, several people nodded in agreement. Thinking about it carefully, the doll girls' room was indeed a little small.
After all, there are a lot of doll girls. Even though they are small in size, there are dozens of them.
Alka nodded and led a few people directly to the stairs of the stern deck.
Arrive at the top of the poop.
Next to Shadaiti's room, Alka pushed the door open.
Then the puppet girls inside turned around and looked over, a little dazed.
I didn't expect Alka to push the door open.
"Um... sorry." Alka had just finished speaking when all kinds of small dolls and various items suitable for doll girls were thrown out.
These objects quickly hit Alka, and Alka quickly closed the door.
Then he turned and looked at the people next to him.
"You don't even knock before entering a girl's room?" Julia asked, looking at him with disdain.
Alka coughed awkwardly and argued, "I only go into Jason's room. I never go into a girl's room. I'm used to it."
It was a long time before a sound came from inside.
Alka then knocked on the door and then opened it.
Everyone squeezed in, and once a few people of normal size entered, the entire room immediately became extremely crowded.
"Don't try to squeeze in again." Simon, who was standing behind, said to Polo who was still trying to squeeze in.
"Damn it, can you make the room bigger?" Porro said, helplessly standing outside.
Look inside through the open door.
After all, it was a room specially prepared for doll girls, and perhaps it had once been suitable for normal-sized humans to live in.
But after so many years, it has been transformed by the puppet girls to suit them only.
There are beds hanging all over the walls and ceiling.
There are triple-bunk beds, quadruple-bunk beds, and even six-bunk beds as tall as normal people's.
There are all sorts of strange platforms, and some hanging platforms directly from the ceiling.
You can also see potted flowers and various decorations and dolls.
Many of the furniture are miniature, as if you are in a doll's world.
In the corner, you can also see an entire metal hanging stand, on which are placed various pendants, including equipment.
A whole row of huge wardrobes was placed on the innermost wall.
These so-called wardrobes have doors that are only about the size of a human face.
Like ordinary cabinets, they are densely arranged and numbered on them.
It seems that the number is exactly the same as the number of doll girls.
When they entered the room for the first time, Alka and other men felt novel.
