Ivan was a little surprised at first as he held the handwritten letter from Duncan Douglas, President of the Royal Society of Medicine.

If what you invent is just a method or medicine to treat common diseases, it is definitely not worth sending a personal letter with such an eager tone from such a big shot.

But when this method or drug can bring great convenience to the navigation industry, or to be more precise, it can create huge wealth more efficiently, the meaning is completely different.

Alvin, who had all his experience from books in his previous life, still underestimated the value of the several methods he provided to prevent and treat scurvy!

He did not know that, no matter in his previous life or in this life, before the pathogenic principle of scurvy was discovered, every ocean exploration voyage would suffer unimaginable non-combat attrition due to this terrible disease.

What's more, the sea area of ​​​​this world is much wider than that of the earth in the previous life. An ocean exploration fleet will almost die from illness or even be wiped out more than once. Even powerful extraordinary beings as long as they do not break away from the essence of human beings,

It can only slow down the disease but cannot completely immunize it.

During this time.

The Medical Association has confirmed through repeated tests that several methods provided by Ivan have excellent effects on patients suffering from scurvy. In particular, its convenient preparation method and storage stability are simply supreme for ocean voyages.

Gospel.

It is already foreseeable that with the promotion of these methods, longer exploration distances, longer navigation radius, and greater profits are already beckoning to the kingdom!

All of these factors led to the creation of this letter and the issuance of the "Medal of Hippocrates Level 2".

In fact, the Medical Association itself has been studying the causes of scurvy, but it has not learned more about vitamin C as a key element in the microscopic world.

If it weren't for the several methods provided by Aiwen, they would be extremely practical and can solve problems in a targeted manner, but they would not mention the existence of key micronutrients such as vitamin C.

Otherwise, a first-class medal or even a special medal would be nothing!

Ivan estimated that if the kingdom gets enough benefits from the voyage in the future, the Navy and even Her Majesty the Queen may give him a second commendation. After all, this is a precedent.

"Ahem, you can't be too greedy. This is an unexpected surprise, not bad."

This kind of gain has exceeded Alvin's initial expectations. In the past, the fledgling boy did not realize the value of the so-called "common sense" in his mind and did not pay too much attention to it.

But when the indigenous people of this world gave strong and true feedback, Alvin instantly realized that he had almost missed a good opportunity to gain both fame and fortune.

After all, if you want to develop in an official organization, the more things like fame, the better. Not only is it a pass to enter the upper class, but for many extraordinary paths, fame or legend itself can be linked to power.

The most typical example is the "titled knight", the top level of the knight's road. The wider the title is spread, the more famous it is, and the greater the benefits the knight can get from it.

Ivan is well aware that these methods of preventing and treating scurvy rarely bring benefits to individuals, but they are of great significance to an organization or a country. As long as the four or five years of first-mover advantage are taken advantage of before the knowledge is completely diffused,

Grab huge profits.

As knowledge spreads, his reputation will reach new heights. At least his name will spread on ocean-going ships, colonies and coastal areas.

People often fear strong men with power, but they only respect scholars with knowledge. At that time, they will really have a halo around them.

Therefore, I started to look forward to the "Medal of Hippocrates Level 2" mentioned in the letter.

A small auditorium for short-term theoretical courses.

“The Age of Discovery began 183 years ago and was initiated by the Kingdom of Cyrus, now the largest maritime power.

Some historians define that year as the first year of the "Hai Yuan Li".

Although this calendar has not been universally adopted in the Old World due to the different beliefs and cultures of different countries that have placed different emphasis on ocean exploration, it is still very influential in coastal countries and has been widely adopted by colonies in various countries."

On the podium, a burly middle-aged man with a big nose and gray hair was talking about the history of mainland China's navigation.

Today, Professor Michelson, who teaches navigation knowledge, is not only a doctor of navigation theory with extensive knowledge, but also a experienced navigator. He has even reached the end of the known world of mankind and the northernmost point.

"Eternal White Land" and returned safely.

Whether in theory or practice, he is a national treasure in the kingdom. If it were not for the Royal Naval Academy, ordinary people would at most listen to his legendary stories, and would not even think about listening to him in front of the audience.

“At that time, we humans conquered the Treasure Sea in the South for the first time, crossed the harsh celestial phenomena and defeated the violent ocean currents, and finally discovered the Southern Continent.

Of course, the first ten years had nothing to do with our Kingdom of Phaletis or even the Tulip Alliance. It was not until the earliest explorers from the Kingdom of Ilia discovered a new route to the Southern Continent that the Tulip Alliance countries ushered in a turn for the better.

.

It is precisely because of the heroic pioneering spirit of the explorers that we have huge interests in the southern continent."

At this time, Professor Michelson lowered his head and glanced at the list of students on the table, and unexpectedly found a familiar surname. As a doctor of navigation and a great navigator, he paid tribute to every student who has made outstanding contributions in human history.

Every adventurer has a treasure trove, no matter which country he belongs to!

Without any hesitation.

"Who is Mr. Alvin Garriott?" The professor's voice was loud and clear, reaching the ears of every student present.

"Professor, I am." Ai Wen in the front row stood up after hearing this, thinking that the professor was going to ask questions in class.

Professor Michelson stared at him for a while and confirmed Alvin's very niche appearance with brown hair and black eyes. However, he did not ask him any questions. Instead, he turned to the students present and said:

"Gentlemen, we are very fortunate to study together with a descendant of a great adventurer of that era.

I just said that Mr. Garriott's ancestors were one of the adventurers who made outstanding contributions to the development of the Southern Continent. I hope that Mr. Garriott and everyone here can inherit this spirit and discover more for human civilization.

A vast world.

Okay, please sit down."

The Tulip countries recognized each other's titles, and migration was normal. The professor did not feel anything wrong with the appearance of the descendants of Garriott who originally belonged to Ilia in Phaletis.

"After nearly two hundred years of development, the Southern Continent has become a very mature colony. Although our progress in Falatis is a little later, the area of ​​​​the colony can also be ranked among the top five among sea powers.

Moreover, it occupies 30% of Baoshu Bay, an excellent timber supply area. Through land replacement in the New World, its actual influence has firmly ranked among the top three in the Southern Continent.

New World

The indigenous shamans, mainly Voodoo, the deep-rooted primitive gods, natural spirits, and wandering monsters are all obstacles to the continued development of mankind. I hope that your generation can complete the work of opening up the New World, make achievements, and even obtain your own fiefdom.

"

The professor's lectures continued. To him, it was just a small episode and a means of teaching, but it touched Alvin deeply.

It has been five years since the family collapsed, but the afterglow of the family is remembered and continues to bloom thousands of miles away from home.

There was something stirring in his heart that could not be calmed down for a long time, and finally it just turned into one sentence:
Chapter completed!
