Chapter 538: The Splash is a Bit Big
This "few days" took longer than Zhang Daye had imagined. Before he knew it, he had spent a month studying electromagnetism and mathematics at the Misaka cram school.
This may be the most difficult , and Zhang Da also feels that his brain is fuller than ever before.
"Once you learn it, you will gain superpowers."—What a tempting sentence! It was with this sentence that Zhang Da was able to persevere through all kinds of boring laws, symbols, formulas, and numbers until now.
Today, Zhang Da was also looking at the tiny electric light on the fingertips of his right hand, and felt a little excited. Although the tiny electric spark looked as weak as a two-dollar lighter, it was at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of volts!
(Fun fact: the voltage of the little black lighter inside a lighter is very high. The reason it doesn't kill people is because of the current.)
Moreover, Zhang Da is different from a lighter. A lighter can shock in an instant, but Zhang Da can also output continuous current.
Just like Misaka can easily stun anyone who comes into direct contact with her, Zhang Da can also do it if he tries hard now.
"Based on the current intensity and control level, Zhang Tatsuya's current ability can be rated as Lv1 at most. Please don't be discouraged. Beep~ Misaka made such an evaluation and tried to comfort."
"Thank you, but I'm not discouraged." Zhang Da also used his hands to play with electricity. His various abilities have always become stronger with training. He is not afraid of them being weak, but only afraid of not having them.
"Then we'll begin the next stage of study. Beep~ Misaka made the arrangements."
However, Misaka's classroom was temporarily suspended because Shark Chili said that there would be a powerful enough ocean current tomorrow afternoon.
This is the law they summarized after observing and analyzing more than twenty surge currents of different sizes over the past month.
Shark Chili and his team can directly observe the entire process of the turbulent ocean current from its formation to its eruption on the seabed, and can feel the changes in water pressure and temperature near the turbulent ocean current at close range, which provides great convenience for everyone to study the turbulent ocean current.
In order to grasp the data more accurately, Shark Chili and Rui Mengmeng even personally experienced a small-scale ocean current. On that day, the giant shark was pushed from the bottom of the sea to the surface and then thrown out.
Rui Mengmeng was carried upwards by the ocean current for more than a thousand meters. When she landed, she also challenged herself to do 300 backward somersaults and 400 turns. However, because she had no diving experience, she made a big splash when she entered the water.
Kulikai, who was riding on the Shark Giant with Shark Chili, was stunned. He was sitting in the Shark Giant and was washed to the surface by the current and almost vomited. This little girl actually had the mood to go diving?
When Kulikai saw her being sent up into the sky, he thought Rui Mengmeng was dead. Unexpectedly, when she came back, she said lightly, "I'm fine, just a little dizzy. It hurts a little when I fell on the sea."
Shark Chili asked Rui Mengmeng about the more specific situation inside the ocean current, and then combined with the feeling of the shark giant being thrown out just now, he developed a new navigation method.
Kulikai silently took out a small notebook to record. These were all first-hand materials. It was rare to find someone who could survive in such a disaster-level ocean current and provide research data as if nothing had happened. He would regret it if he didn't write it down quickly.
Things were also going smoothly for the flying team. Ever since the first sudden "night", Wendy had been carefully sensing the changes in air and wind when the Jidi Cloud moved, turning the Jidi Cloud into a kind of "weather" that she could sense and predict.
Over the past month, the Jidi Cloud has passed by Gaya Island three times, but each time no powerful enough sea current was generated.
And tomorrow, the day when the powerful ocean current predicted by Shark Chili will appear, finally coincides with the day when the Emperor Cloud predicted by Wendy will pass by.
So Zhang Da also suspended his classes and made final preparations with everyone before boarding the sky island, and also went to tell his friends in the navy.
When Zhang Daye found Vice Admiral Gion to say goodbye, she was a little surprised: "Are you really going? And riding on such a dangerous ocean current?"
"This has been decided long ago. Besides, we've been busy here for so long just to ride the ocean current."
"Since there's been no news for so long, I thought you'd given up," Vice Admiral Gion said. "In that case, I can only wish you good luck."
"Thanks."
Smoker, who got the news later, chased after him: "Hey, my goal is to defeat you one day, don't die because of such a rash decision!"
"Then you have to work harder." Zhang Da also waved his hand. He didn't know what brand of chicken soup Tina gave Smoker that day, but the effect was so good.
This month, Smoker challenged Zhang Da several times. Although he was basically defeated in one move, he was not discouraged at all. He would go again after training hard for a few days.
Could it be that this kind of person is born with a strong psychological endurance? Zhang Da also wondered whether he should give him electrotherapy next time.
…
The next morning, all members of the Amber Tour Group boarded the ship and prepared to set off . Kulikai saw them off on the shore with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Your ship, don't you really need to reinforce it?" Kulikai asked worriedly . "The impact of that wave that day would have been difficult for even a warship to withstand, right?"
Zhang Da also said: "Don't worry, the last time we went to the Seven Water City, we asked the best shipbuilder to help strengthen it once, and we have some other preparations. I believe the Amber will be fine."
Wendy gently stroked the railing of the Amber and agreed, "The Amber will definitely be able to do it."
She might be the one who likes the Amber the most of all, after all, it is the only ship in the world she can ride on.
Others who believed that there was were also cheering for the Amber, believing that no matter whether it went up to the sky or down to the sea, the Amber could be defeated.
In fact, the statue on the bow was almost crying with fear. He wanted to beg these people to change the ship to go to the Sky Island, or even try a different method. Why must an ordinary sea ship be sent to the sky?
"That's good." Kulikai smiled, "I wish you all the best!"
Before leaving, Zhang Daye asked him one last time, "Are you really not going with us?"
"No, that's my adventure," Kulikai said. "But if you ever meet the descendants of Kalgara, please tell them that 'Nolandu's descendants will definitely fulfill the promise on his behalf.'"
"Okay, I will definitely bring it to you. Then they might ring the Golden Bell for you." Zhang Da was not sure whether the sound of the Golden Bell could be heard here.
But according to Nolando's diary, he once lost his way in a storm, and then "heard its sound clearly in the storm where it was impossible to hear any other sound", and was able to reach Gaya Island thanks to the guidance of the bell.
Maybe their family has some special ability in hearing the sound of the golden bell. In Kulikai's words, this is because of men's romance.
Then as long as the golden bell is rung, Kulikai should be able to hear it even if the sky island floats far away.
After saying goodbye, Artoria took the helm herself, and the compass bird's cage was hung near the rudder. The others took their positions and tied safety ropes as Zhang Daya suggested.
The sun was shining brightly and the wind was blowing in the right direction, so the Amber set sail.
"The golden bell, the lights of Shandora..." Kulikai looked up at the distant sky. Is the promise that spanned four hundred years right there?
