Chapter 58 Can natural disasters be predicted?

 "It's really incredible."

In a room on the second floor, someone expressed the same emotion as Medien. At this time, she was standing in front of the window, staring at the strange and mysterious deep sea scene outside the window. At the same time, she was holding a notebook in one hand and another in the other.

Holding a pen in his hand, he kept writing down something on the paper.

"I'm afraid Ferdinand Magellan's mood when he was exploring the unknown in the chaotic sea was the same as mine now, right?" Ovela murmured: "I want to record all of this and write it in my book...

…In the next book, like Ferdinand Magellan or Marco Polo, maybe I can also write a travelogue?”

Whether it was Magellan's "Reporting My Countryside" or Marco Polo's "Travel to the Western Continent", Olivia had read them all and was deeply fascinated by the incredible scenes or things described in them. Since Lin

Ge said that her novels are not like novels but more like essays, so why don’t she start by writing a simple travelogue? People live in the present, so writing about what is happening now should be better than writing about the past.

What happened is more profound and vivid, right?

Thinking of this, Oveira's writing speed slowed down slightly. In the room, the rustling sound of the pen tip crossing the paper was gradually replaced by a soft and soothing sound of water ripples. The princess lowered her head and saw the piece of paper in front of her.

It is already full of words, and each of the cursive words that I sketched out subconsciously has its own unique and connotative nature before the book is written. Together, they build the story of Ovela.

The world I saw——

She saw deep trenches, stretches of undersea mountains, and even majestic undersea volcanoes. Countless marine creatures, either curious or ferocious, appeared in the complex and changeable terrain, and huge sea beasts appeared one after another.

Swimming by one by one, there were giant sharks full of fangs and strange octopuses with countless suction cup-like tentacles; she saw a jellyfish as big as a windmill chasing a sixteen-legged rock crab, and she also

The next second I saw them, they were swallowed by an even bigger whale.

At that time, Cloud Whale Sky Island was not far away from where the hunting took place. Everyone on the island saw with their own eyes how huge the giant whale was, almost as big as a mountain. When it was eating, its huge mouth opened,

Taking a deep breath, it made a low and shocking sound like thunder, and the surrounding sea area suddenly rolled up with tides. The rapid waves rushed into its mouth like a whirlpool, and the fish, shrimp and other marine creatures trapped in it seemed to be thrown into a tidal wave.

Like a bottomless abyss, it is pulled down by an irresistible terrifying force, unable to control itself and unable to escape.

After finishing a meal with such a heroic gesture, the giant whale turned back to look at Yun Whale Kongdao. A bit of human curiosity and doubt appeared in its huge gem-like eyes, probably thinking about this strange-looking whale.

Where did its kin come from? Why did it have land and forest on its back? It rashly broke into its own territory without even saying hello. It looked dull. Is it because of its lower IQ? However, maybe,

It was the Mirror Elf soldiers who were guarding the Cloud Whale Sky Island. It did not come close to communicate with its brethren. Instead, it flicked its giant tail, turned around, and swam toward the sea - it was swallowing food while eating just now.

After tons of sea water has fallen, you need to float to the surface and drain it out through the breathing holes on your back.

For ships passing through nearby waters, it will probably be a precious visual experience.

The scenery on the road alone is so magical. I wonder what the mirror elves’ city will look like?

Olvera couldn't help but daydream.

And soon, she will know the answer.

……

"Huh?" Metien suddenly discovered a strange building and made a confused voice: "What is that?"

After everyone heard the words, they looked in the direction she was looking, and soon found the object she was pointing to in a winding rocky ridge: it was a black iron tower about twenty meters high.

The bottom is supported by a steel base with eight brackets, and the flat top is condensed into a round light ball with a high concentration of magic power visible to the naked eye, floating quietly on it, emitting a soft radiance outward, illuminating

An area of ​​about 100 meters around the tower was illuminated.

The outside of the tower is covered with a thick layer of steel armor, which makes it difficult to see the internal structure. Only densely packed pipes can be seen climbing along the outside of the tower, forming a complex structure; there are also configurations where the pipes are connected.

There are brass valves and pressure devices, etc., which are obviously unmanned but can operate on their own, which is easily reminiscent of those automated cold machines in a steam factory; the exhaust port of the pipe is connected to the magic light ball on the top, which is roaring.

Like the piercing roar of a steam engine, high-energy magic in the form of stardust particles is constantly erupted, filling the surrounding area with a dazzling illusion of light.

Metien is not a magician, so he cannot feel it, but everyone else clearly feels that in the area where the tower is located, the magic power is extremely active, and has even exceeded the normal endurance range of life. This leads to high

There is not even a single living creature near the tower. Marine creatures swimming nearby will consciously avoid this area for fear of seeing something scary and avoid it.

"Heh." Neville chuckled: "Although I don't know what it is, I'm afraid it has something to do with the alliance with the cult."

After all, the appearance of this thing has the style of the magic system jointly promoted by the religious orders, but there are no obvious magic circuits, most of which are hidden in the internal structure.

"That's right." As the host, Galenie conscientiously explained to these guests who came from afar: "That is a natural disaster detection device invented by the Natural Disaster Mission. It is said that in some way, it will detect the information contained in the surrounding sea areas and the submarine continental shelf.

Information such as the content, flow direction and activity frequency of the magic power is transmitted to the local natural disaster detection bureau to help them use this key information to draw maps, thereby predicting the occurrence of natural disasters and responding in time - of course, this is what people on the ground say, in fact

Yes, I think this thing is of no use."

Galenie's tone was full of disdain: "We, the Nereids, under the leadership of Her Majesty the Queen and Lord Sandro, can suppress the small-scale natural disasters that occur in the nearby sea with our origin magic, and it is not their turn at all.

To inform the people on the ground; if there really is a big disaster that even the mirror elves cannot deal with, such as the Belbanissa disaster seven hundred years ago, then what can the people on the ground do even if they predict it? After all, we cannot let the nearby people

The city was spared."

Therefore, she believes that the symbolic significance of these natural disaster detection devices is far greater than the actual significance. It is just a trick for the religious groups to jointly declare sovereignty over this sea area. Because as long as the natural disaster detection devices stand there, nearby aliens will instinctively stay away from this area.

Sea areas, for fear of being jointly discovered by the religious orders, let alone destroying them. At this point, even the mirror elves of Nereids are no exception. The two origin priests in the city are the queen she just mentioned.

Although His Majesty and another Lord Sandru can control the powerful origin magic and suppress small-scale natural disasters in the sea, they are powerless against these small natural disaster detection devices and can only watch them slowly encroaching on their territory.

It's like driving nails. Although it is not fatal, it is enough to make people toss and turn and make it difficult to sleep.

Based on this, her attitude towards these natural disaster detection devices, including the Natural Disaster Mission that manages the natural disaster detection devices, cannot be said to be very friendly. This is also the typical attitude of most deep-sea aliens.

But Metien doesn't think so. Only as a person on earth can she understand more deeply how powerful these devices are.

Because mankind has never faced only natural disasters in the ocean.

Storms, earthquakes, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, avalanches... Although this race that was born weak finally completed the great cause of conquering the world, the disasters and destruction it encountered in the process were also much more serious than other races.
