Chapter 1464 The Past and Agreement of Ocean Exploration (Part 1)
"Remember that was already the second incident with extremely heavy losses." Hillary did not comply with Nonoska's wishes. She continued to talk about that memory. Nonoska said no
He wished to think of it, but it did not stop Hilary Riley from continuing to stir up the topic. He knew that the decades of life on the ship had already become an important part of his life and could not be eliminated.
Now talking about the situation at that time, the mood and attitude of the two people have completely changed. It is as if they are simply reciting the content printed in the textbook with calm and emotionless words. It is no longer something they have experienced personally.
Completely stand on the sidelines.
"Think about it, it's been forty years since we boarded the Venetus and started exploring unknown waters."
"Forty-four years." When Hilary was thinking, Nonoska continued and gave the specific time, "Forty-four years, seven months and thirteen days. Of course, if we finish today, it will be
Fourteen days."
"You remember it clearly." Hilarelli with a wry smile didn't know whether it was a compliment or pity for Nonoska who could remember this time clearly. "At that time, you, me, and Chilman were all because of something.
We were attracted by the notices posted to various departments and agencies of Theocratic State, and even in the dark world. It was very in line with the characteristics of our age group at that time. The so-called generous salary, the ability to join some national institutions of Theocratic State after returning, and the promotion of positions were all
It seems unimportant. What is important is that this notice has really aroused the curiosity of too many people. Becoming an adventurer when you are young and seeing all kinds of unknown things is not an impulse in everyone's heart."
"I am a researcher at the First History Institute of Theocratic State, and Hillary, you are a teacher at a school for first- and second-stage surgeons. And Chillman, who went to the Venetus, has been traveling around the Theocratic State all year round.
In the dark world of the city. Middlemen, arms dealers, bounty hunters, assassins who can kill everyone within their capabilities as long as the reward is enough. Speaking of which, among the three of us, Chilman’s experience is legendary and the richest.
"It seems that I have done everything for my own life." There was also a kind of gratitude that was revealed unconsciously in her sighing words. Nonoska knew that she was still alive, sitting in the room and talking to Hilary Riley.
In the past, Chilman can account for 90% of the reasons. The same is true for Hillary.
Hillary sighed and laughed, "This is the difference between everyone. Because of our respective positions and experiences, different people will achieve different results when dealing with things and facing various situations."
Nonoska nodded in agreement. As for Chilman, during the time when he was exploring unknown waters with the ocean-going ship Venetus, to be precise, during the first nineteen years of exploration, both he and Hilary Riley
None of them knew that among the members of the entire fleet, there was a man named Chilman. Similarly, the entire fleet had more than 400,000 members, and the people he and Hillary knew were only limited to a very small part. And
During those nineteen years, the first fifteen years, Nonoska and Hillary were strangers to each other. Including Chilman, the three of them belonged to different functional departments of the fleet and were assigned to different accompanying ships.
Go to work.
When the ocean-going giant Venetus set out, it brought with it more than 130 ships of various types. Among them, there were five supply ships that were larger in volume and length than the Venetus itself. The Venetus
The length of the ocean-going giant ship itself is about three thousand meters, while the length of the five supply ships is close to seven thousand meters. It is like an artificially constructed steel island on the sea. In order to promote its speed to keep up with the fleet, each supply ship
Nearly half of the ship's space is used to install and build the power system and its auxiliary equipment.
But fortunately, all equipment and ships are powered by steam, and the seawater purification system is not a problem for the Theocracy's technological strength.
In the first three years, the entire huge fleet has never stopped since its departure. Following the countercurrent formed by the central sea current belt impacting the back phase continent, the speed of the fleet is very impressive. Three years later, there is no time to stop.
The fleet successfully reached the edge of exploration by previous fleets.
Exploration activities consume a lot of money, but they have not stopped for a long time. Because the purpose of each exploration is different, for unknown areas, the graphics formed by the places that have been explored are not arcs, but various barbed shapes.
Raised shape.
The ocean-going fleet changed course for the first time in three years. They were preparing to go to the deepest point they had explored before, and then from there as another.asxs., go to their target sea area. So it was another two years of non-stop
The voyage begins.
Five years does not seem to be a long time for the more than 400,000 people in the entire fleet, because the entire journey is in the sea areas that have been explored, and relevant follow-up research and exploration are also carried out simultaneously. Curiosity and adventurous psychology are there during that period.
During the time, everyone was indeed satisfied.
During that time, Nonoska and the others also realized that there was a group of people called "Lonely Observers" far away from the mainland. In some of the explored sea areas, scrapped supply ships from previous fleets were used as supplies.
Islands floating on the sea, continue to observe the situation in that sea area.
He had almost lost contact with the mainland. If he hadn't known that the Theocracy had set up a special department specifically for these people, Nonoska would have believed that these people were the lost ones who were lost in the endless sea after major incidents occurred in the fleet in the past.
Every time it passes a "lonely observer", the fleet will supply them with some supplies. In fact, this is also one of the jobs and tasks of the ocean-going fleet.
Five peaceful years passed, and the sixth year of the voyage began. At that time, Nonoska, Hilarelli, and Chilman were still at their respective posts, doing their own things. When they had time, not only
It is they, and many others, who will choose to walk among the boardable ships in the entire fleet. While looking at the different types of ships, they also apply for a rare opportunity to stay away from the fleet to explore the sea areas and follow up on previous research.
,Opportunities for missions to collect further data.
The sixth year passed roughly like this. By the seventh year, the entire fleet was still absolutely vigorous, and there was not a single death or case during this period. Although the more than 400,000 people will certainly not all be surgeons
, but in terms of medical treatment and disease prevention, the preparations made by the fleet before the start of every ocean exploration mission are the most important matters alongside the power system and defense system.
Then, the seventh year came. By the middle of the seventh year, the ocean-going fleet had reached the deepest point of the sea that had been explored before. From there, all the places it went to would be unknown areas. And at that time, Nuo
Norska and the others also encountered the last supply ship of the "Lone Observer".
It’s just that there are no survivors on it, only an empty steel shell floating on the sea, and the bones of hundreds of crew members left behind after the ship was infected by a certain type of deadly bacteria. And the entire ocean-going fleet
