Chapter 233 Now we can go out to sea to explore

"Are you Captain? There is a kind of grass with heart-shaped leaves. Its flowers are white and small, and its leaves grow in large pieces, half a person's height."

"Gwen, sit up now and eat that grass. You can eat it raw."

"ah?"

Gwen opened her eyes in confusion.

Ken jumped up from his chair with some excitement after hearing this: "Mr. Jeremiah, what kind of herb is that? Can it cure the little girl's illness?"

Jeremiah glanced at him and snorted coldly: "How can it be such a coincidence? It's just an ordinary wild vegetable. Eating it can fill your stomach and won't starve to death immediately."

After a pause, he spoke in a low voice: "The little girl may not be sick. She has just been hungry for too long. When people are weak, they will always get various diseases. Eating a few full meals or even a bowl of hot soup can save her. But..."

He suddenly stopped talking and glared at Ken: "Don't you have a manual? Go and get it."

Ken's eyes lit up. Hughes had once written some basic methods of treating diseases and mentioned them during his lectures. He brought them with him when he packed up his teaching materials and had even treated sailors.

"I'll go find it right away!"

Gwen struggled to sit up. She felt dizzy and a little weak.

She was not too surprised that someone was talking to her in her mind just now. She often fantasized that she had many friends who would care about her and help her find food. Although she had never seen them, these friends were still the motivation that kept her alive.

There are just a few new friends here now. People often have hallucinations before they die. Gwen knows that she has seen many people die in front of her.

It’s a pity that I didn’t see my mother, which is a bit regrettable.

But it was also nice to have new friends. She struggled to reach out and take the plate of weeds. The heart-shaped leaves were very beautiful and she liked them very much. She picked a lot of them and brought them over.

She had to listen to her friend. Even though the wild grass tasted terrible, she still tried her best to chew it up and swallow it. Then she tidied her clothes and lay back on the bed.

She felt sleepy very quickly, and she might really die this time.

Dying is a terrible thing, but meeting new friends is not bad either, Gwen thought dazedly.

"Gwen, are you still there? Are you in pain anywhere? I have a cure for your illness!"

"Gwen?"

Ken was still calling out to Gwen, but he was destined to get no response - Hughes looked at the broken thread and sighed secretly in his heart.

He could sense that the little girl was not dead, but just in a coma. However, based on her current condition, she was destined to die.

Wild vegetables can be used as an emergency measure, but she will not survive by eating them alone. The place where she is is full of wars and refugees. The church, the royal family, and the lords are all in a mess. It is not easy to save her.

Zeus came here this time originally to explore the ability of this remote connection, but now he is no longer in the mood. After seeing Gwen's thread broken, he also disconnected several people and chose to return directly.

Soon, he raised his head from his long table, sighed, and walked out to the eastern testing ground.

He planned to ask Chloe what common wild vegetables there were. These fire moths hid from place to place all day long and loved to pursue knowledge, so they should be very familiar with this common sense.

When arriving at the test site, Hughes was somewhat surprised to find that Chloe was in the sky?

In just one day, an improved version of the airship that was much larger than the previous one had flown into the sky. Looking at the few people waving at him in the sky, Zeus' heavy mood was alleviated a lot.

The airship slowly descended. Unlike the small airship that was hastily built before, this large airship was well made, and the mounted engine was upgraded from a hand-cranked one to a steam engine.

Well, although it is strange to put a steam engine on an airship, the airship is truly powerful in this respect. As long as it is big enough and has strong enough lift, it is very easy to carry a heavy steam engine.

After all, it doesn't have to consider aerodynamics, and it's hard to say what kind of structure in this world is suitable for flying.

Maybe the Mechanical Temple has steam-powered airplanes.

The steam engine has many shortcomings, but its efficiency is quite high. Many ships on the Blue Planet use steam turbines. It is not a joke that humans rely on boiling water for energy.

What's more, steam engines can burn pollution. Although physical pollution is dangerous and difficult to use, its calorific value is really ridiculously high. One can of pollution is enough to keep a steam engine running for a whole day. This is not very obvious on the ground, but the effect becomes exaggerated in the sky.

There was an important reason why Hughes chose an airship instead of a hot air balloon: a hot air balloon needs to burn fuel all the time, while an airship consumes almost no fuel while floating in the air.

If Hughes was only planning to use it on the battlefield, a hot air balloon would be enough, but the main function of this airship is not limited to this.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zeus needs to explore the secrets of the deep sea and learn the truth about why Castel is disconnected from the outside world. He must have a flying vehicle that can stay in the air for a long time.

And this airship was the final solution he came up with.

The huge airship in the sky slowly descended, and the Noisy One roared and pushed the propeller.

Soon, the airship landed on the open ground, and several banshees threw up ropes with hooks and hung them in the holes reserved around the balloon.

The airship was firmly fixed, and Chloe and Nini walked down from the cabin under the airship together.

This time the airship was made much more sophisticated than the previous ones. There was no longer an open-air basket under the balloon. Instead, the steam engine and various transmission equipment were placed in the cabin below.

"Let's see how it feels!" Chloe said excitedly, "This big guy can carry several tons of supplies. As long as there is no storm, it will be no problem crossing the sea!"

Zeus's face froze. Indeed, the airship had a long endurance and a strong carrying capacity, but as Chloe said, its ability to resist bad weather was average.

There would be no problem if there was no storm, but this was the Storm Ocean. Xius pondered for a moment and asked, "How strong is the skin you made? Do you have the ability to repair the skin of the airship?"

"It's pretty strong, but I'm not sure if it can withstand the storm." Chloe shrugged. "But I can quickly repair the damage to the skin, so for safety reasons, it's better for me to follow you if you want to investigate."

She smiled with a look of success.

Researching new weapons is fun, but it's not as fun as flying into the sky on an airship, not to mention being able to investigate what's going on in the sea.

She has long wanted to go out for fun on the airship!
