Chapter 791 The air in Ming is so sweet

It is said that the rise and fall of tides on Earth is due to the influence of the moon's gravity on the ocean.

In a world without the moon, the sea is as silent as dead water.

There is no moon and no starry sky.

There is no day and no night.

Only the mechanical scale can prove that the ship is still heading in the right direction.

"Judging from the hydrological conditions, we are close to the continental shelf."

After putting away the periscope and writing down the latest observation data in his notebook, Charlie waited for a moment and then walked through the cold and dark cabin door to the captain's room.

Walking to the operating table, he pulled down the lever, turned on the circuit switch, and said in a deep voice: "Mogred, wake up the captain."

"Navigator Charlie Anderson, please repeat your instructions. Are you sure you want to wake the captain?"

"Wake up the Captain, I'm sure."

The lights above our heads lit up one by one.

The first to wake up was the machine spirit on the ship.

Accompanied by soothing string music preludes, the metal puppet placed in the control tower, like a sleeping girl, slowly opened its eyes, raised its hands which were a little clumsy due to lack of oil, and began to move the operating panel in front of it that looked like piano keys.

Charlie frowned slightly, he didn't like this meaningless romance, but he had no choice.

After all, before being dug out and installed on the ship, Mogred's main job was a music teacher.

The nobles spent a lot of money to buy such high-tech robot servants to teach music lessons to their children, not because there was really a need for it, but simply to show off their wealth.

The built-in accompaniment music when starting up is not Mogred's personality, but just a factory setting.

"Good morning, Captain. Unfortunately, our tea supply has run out and we only have 21% fuel left. But the good news is..."

Morgreed turned around and looked at Charlie: "What's the good news?"

"The good news is we are almost seeing the continental shelf."

“That’s really good news.”

Charlie subconsciously stood at attention and cast his eyes towards the old man who slowly stood up.

It is not accurate to say that he was a human being, because 65% of his flesh and blood had been replaced by cold mechanical parts. Apart from his old face, there was nothing that looked like a human being.

"It's not wise to wake me up rashly and waste energy. Can you confirm the authenticity of the data, Brother Charlie?"

Charlie nodded and said, "Merlin's notes also show the same result. If everything goes well, we will be able to see the coastline within 24 hours."

"Merlin... that guy who calls himself Merlin but is actually someone unknown, can't even see Alpha. Just use it as a reference, don't trust the data it provides easily."

"You're right."

Charlie glanced at the notebook in his hand, and a row of ellipsis silently appeared on the notebook.

It's good enough to have it useful. Do we have any room for pickyness?
"Morgred, come up."

After a moment's silence, the captain gave instructions to the machine spirit.

"Starting the suspension engine, please wait a moment."

The floor beneath my feet began to tremble slightly.

Charlie skillfully grabbed the fixed objects beside him and tried to stabilize his body as the shaking became increasingly violent.

"Shit! Morgreed, slow down!"

"It's a good thing to see movement, Mr. Navigator. It means we have entered the territorial waters of Ming Dynasty."

Morgreed placed all ten fingers of both hands on the operating panel and began to chant Shakespeare's poems.

"No matter how long the night is, the day will always come - the front deck is broken, but it's not a big problem!" Accompanied by an unsettling loud noise, bright sunlight pierced in from the window, and the floor underfoot began to slowly rise and fall.

"The Pathfinder has arrived at the Prime Material Plane. We are now checking the overall damage to the ship..."

"Don't worry about that, calculate the direction first!"

The captain shouted angrily.

"Unfortunately, it's daytime now so we can't see the stars and we don't know exactly what time it is...but the good news is that I saw seagulls."

Under the sea covered by blue sky and white clouds, Morgreed's tone became noticeably lighter.

"Seagull?"

Charlie was instantly alert: "Seagulls can't fly out of the continental shelf. The data we surveyed is inaccurate!"

"Don't be nervous. Seeing a seagull is a good thing anyway... Maybe it's a good thing. The seagull flew away. It flew too fast, it didn't look like a wild one."

Mogreed was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I don't know if my memory is accurate, but when I was teaching music, I met overseas students from the Ming Navy. I heard them discussing the feasibility of raising birds on the Navy's hot air balloon..."

"That's called the Cloudtop Sky Lantern, an ancient air force vehicle. It looks like we're headed in the right direction."

The captain dragged his heavy body to his feet and looked at Charlie: "Go check Haven immediately, and we will dive immediately after we determine the location."

"Mogred, wake up all crew members, check the hover engines, and prepare to hit the beach!"

"Beaching? Captain, are you sure you're not landing?"

"I am sure!"

"Okay, Captain, check the hover engines and start preparing for beaching."

Charlie came on deck and dropped the bucket.

The glaring sunlight above his head made him feel as if he was in another world.

Growing up in the industrial smog of Renton, he had only seen such blue sky and white clouds a few times in his life.

The sea breeze in Ming Country has a really sweet smell.

No wonder Alpha ran back. Anyone who didn’t run would be a fool.

He brought up a bucket of fresh sea water and wiped his face with it casually. It smelled like pure seawater, without any trace of chemical tar. If it wasn't too salty, he would really like to try a sip.

But at this moment, he noticed a shadow at the junction of the sea and the sky out of the corner of his eye.

He was startled and quickly stood up, opened the telescope and looked in that direction.

"Hot air balloon? Hot air balloon!"

When I opened the notebook again, I saw lines of text appearing quickly.

"Detected Ming Navy Northern Fleet aircraft carrier: Cloudtop Sky Lantern."

"This is a weapon that looks ancient in appearance, but is actually extremely powerful. Even after the Ming Navy completed its modernization, it has not completely withdrawn from the battle sequence. It is driven by a Yuanqi furnace and can reach a maximum speed of sixteen knots. It is equipped with a long-range guided weapon called 'Pear Blossom', with an effective range of three thousand meters..."

"The current distance is about 3750"

This number is still shrinking rapidly.

"Morgreed—!"

At this moment, Charlie's heart almost stopped beating, and he subconsciously shouted out the name of the Machine Soul at the top of his lungs.

However, before he could sound the alarm, the seemingly calm sea on the port side suddenly exploded.

Tons of sea water flew into the air and turned into heavy rain, pouring down on people's heads.
