Chapter 31 Into the History of Navigation

At the beginning, the sailors on the ship were surprised. What is the background of this new warrant officer, and he is worthy of the captain's efforts to train him? He has almost become a full-time training partner.

Even if there were scions from the kingdom's powerful families on the battleships who came to the ship for internship and experience, there had never been such a scene.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion among the sailors.

Until one time, Alvin and Geer used the secret secret "Sword Style·Floating Boat" in Baifan Swordsmanship at the same time. The two of them turned into afterimages, chasing and fighting on several lifeboats, as if their feet never touched the ground.

The lifeboat didn't even sway.

Only then did the crew members suddenly realize that the powerful swordsmanship of the two men with such distinctive characteristics had already explained everything. These were not the children of the rich and powerful as everyone imagined, but they were simply descendants of the captain's own family.

Ivan no longer cares about what the crew is thinking at this time. After two weeks of high-intensity training, he is always immersed in tense confrontations. His physical attributes have made great progress and are far away from the real human limit.

Not far away!

However, in the process, Ivan discovered the secret of Uncle Geer's swordsmanship system. Similar to himself, he always started with "White Sail Swordsmanship" as a base. A person's swordsmanship style is ever-changing, but the basic style laid down when he first dabbled in swordsmanship.

But it's hard to erase.

Needless to say, this must be his father's masterpiece. Being able to teach Uncle Geer the extraordinary swordsmanship passed down from his family for nearly two hundred years is enough to show how good the relationship between the two is.

Just before he broke through to become a formal knight, Uncle Ger's foundation quietly changed from the "White Sail Swordsmanship" that was good at agility to the "Faletis Saber Skills" that was always good at strength.

After personal experience, Ivan felt that the "White Sail Sword Technique" should be much stronger than the "Paletis Saber Technique" in terms of improvement effect. Why did Uncle Geer choose the easy one rather than the near one?

Feeling confused, he asked Geer directly.

"Hahaha, don't be superstitious about common sense and experience, Alvin! Baifan swordsmanship is indeed a very powerful extraordinary swordsmanship, but swordsmanship is also related to people.

If our physical fitness can be quantified, although my agility is also good, the attribute with the highest value is strength. Using the Falethian Saber Technique to advance to extraordinary can give full play to my strength advantage."

Geer didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with exposing his extraordinary foundation to Ivan, and continued: "And you don't think that the part taught to you in the training camp is all of the Phaletis Saber Skills, do you?

There are many strong men in the navy, and there are also many who use this military swordsmanship. After repeated revisions and deductions by successive masters, the potential is not inferior to the Baifan swordsmanship that has been tempered for thousands of years."

Staring at Uncle Geer's attribute information, Aiwen nodded, you are right, your main attribute is indeed strength.

When Geer talked about the origin of the idea, he directly taught the advanced version of "Faletis Saber Technique" to Ivan, so that he could choose by himself when he advanced to the extraordinary level.

In addition, taking advantage of this rare calm time, Geer will also select the essence of the "Seisi Scimitar Technique" which is widely spread among the pirate community, as well as the "Rose Sword Technique" of the palace swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Phaletis.

It was also passed on to Aiwen. Even if he didn't necessarily work hard, at least he wouldn't be in a hurry when encountering it in the future.

Thanks to Uncle Geer for having no reservations about him, Alvin trains more seriously. In fact, he has a digital vision and he has a very clear understanding of his own path.

"Military Swordsmanship" can be used as an auxiliary, and "Sisi Scimitar Skills" and "Rose Swordsmanship" can be used as references, but my foundation is still in "White Sail Swordsmanship". Who has the highest agility among his main attributes?

During this period, there was another good news. Alvin's own operation on the shore failed, but the bean experiment he brought on board finally came to fruition with the help of the ship's chef.

"Well, not bad, that's it." It is slightly sweet with a crunchy texture, and there is no reaction of body poisoning in the digital vision. Ivan is sure that the research and development of "bean sprouts" has been successful!

It turns out that with only suitable beans and fresh water, it only takes a few days to harvest a large amount of bean sprouts rich in vitamin C. Not only is it very delicious, it is also a life-saving medicine for sailors.

Sure enough, the crew members praised this novel vegetable repeatedly when they ate it at the subsequent dinner, and strongly requested the chef to replace one of the usual main dishes, "boiled beans in salt water," with this delicacy called "bean sprouts."

Animals in nature will instinctively eat things that are not in their diet when they are in physical condition. For example, carnivores eat grass, gorillas eat clay, etc.

Because these things that are not in their normal diet contain trace elements that their bodies are in urgent need of.

Human beings are naturally no exception to the rule of nature. Being greedy for fresh vegetables is also an alarm signal sent by their body to them.

"Mr. Irvine, do you know what your invention means?" Ordinary crew members do not have a broad vision, but the ship's doctor Martin, who is particularly keen on such things, took the initiative to find Irvine, and he was very excited.

In this era of extraordinary power, people have become aware of the existence of "septicemia" and are vaguely aware that fresh fruits and vegetables can protect crew members from this disease.

However, given the conditions on a wooden sailing ship, it is simply unrealistic to store a large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables that can supply the entire crew.

Beans that are easy to store and can be transformed into vegetables after a short period of cultivation are a perfect match for ocean voyages! Countless sailors who need to drift on the sea for four to five months will be saved because of this little invention.

As the discoverer of this vegetable, Alvin will inevitably be recorded in the history of navigation as it spreads.

"Dr. Martin, you came at the right time! I don't have a good channel to promote this invention, and I don't have reliable connections with the higher-ups in the kingdom. Do you have any suggestions on this?"

Ivan didn't care too much about this "invention" for the time being, and said somewhat casually.

And he also knew many ways to supplement vitamins during long-term voyages, such as pickles, malt or directly adding lemon juice to sugar cane wine. But he didn't know if people in this era had discovered these methods, so he told Martin all of them.

doctor.

"Your Excellency Ivan, you are really a genius! I am a member of the Royal Medical Society of the Kingdom. Please allow me to write to the gentlemen of the committee on your behalf to explain to them these great discoveries of yours, which will be remembered by thousands of sailors.

To live up to your merits!"

"That" said this, the ship's doctor blushed slightly and stopped talking.

"Of course, you have the right to sign the paper, and the second author's position must be yours, Dr. Martin!" Ivan knew what a professional like him wanted, and generously gave him the right to sign.

"Thank you, sir. Leave it to me, I'll write it, and I'll do it!" Dr. Martin responded ecstatically and somewhat incoherently, and then rushed back to his cabin to write the letter.
Chapter completed!
