Later, he also encountered the man-made iceberg.
However, unlike Marcus's meticulous micro-manipulation, Qingdong only slightly deflected Long Guofan, and then used his speed advantage to complete a sharp turn.
He started later but arrived first, crossing the iceberg almost at the same time as Marcus.
Then it was time to face Marcus's declaration.
......
Looking at Qingdong who 'suddenly' appeared in front of him, Marcus was a little confused and even felt that his brain was about to stop functioning.
How did this person get here?
I would conservatively estimate that I would set sail half an hour earlier than you!
How come you managed to get here in just minutes for this half-hour journey?
Taking another look at the "cargo ship" under Qingdong's feet, Marcus' brows gradually twisted into a river shape.
At the same time, the stands and judges' seats fell into silence subconsciously.
Just now, all their attention was on Marcus, and they didn't notice what Qingdong did at all.
Now Qingdong suddenly appeared beside Marcus, which filled them with shock.
The judges all looked at Ren Yan with questioning expressions.
Is this another magic from your Dragon Country?
However, this time, Ren Yan did not respond at all.
At this moment, he just looked quietly at the boat under Qingdong's feet and fell into a brief contemplation.
The ship designed by Xu Kai and his team seems to be even more powerful than I expected...
Similarly, Qingdong did not linger too long in the astonishment of the people around him.
After greeting Marcus, Qingdong turned his sail again and found the most suitable angle for the breeze.
The powerful Long Guofan immediately drove the boat, leaving trails of water on the sea, and sailed away.
Soon, he had opened up a distance of several hundred meters from Marcus.
Such a scene immediately surprised everyone present again.
Now they understood why Qingdong suddenly appeared.
But at the same time, a new question emerged in their minds.
"Oh my God, what is this?!"
“Is it really powered only by the sails?”
"Why is it so fast?!"
Faced with the speed of Qingdong's ship, the audience was puzzled, stunned and confused.
With the current wind speed, can such a bulky-looking ship really reach this speed?
What did the professional judges say before?
The ship built by Qingdong has no fluid mechanics and will not be affected by any water flow. It is far different from the shuttle-shaped ship built by Marcus.
But now, what is going on with this incredible situation?
The next moment, the audience all looked at the bearded judge, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.
However, the bearded judge was also confused at this moment.
Throughout his more than ten years of shipbuilding career, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Let me give you an explanation, I still want an explanation now, okay?
Is it true that there is magic everywhere in Dragon Kingdom?
After looking around and seeing that the other judges were equally stunned, the bearded man could only look at Ren Yan:
"Teacher Ren, can you explain why Qingdong's ships are so fast?"
“These are a little hard for us to understand.”
After saying this, Ren Yan temporarily withdrew his thoughts, acted as a narrator, and began to explain patiently:
“In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand.”
"For traditional ships, the main power comes from the sails, but in fact a large part of it comes from the fluid power of the ship itself."
"By reducing the resistance of the water flow, you can increase your speed."
"But in this case, the intensity of the wind is very high."
"And the sailboat made by Qingdong is something new that our team nine came up with not long ago."
“Its power comes almost entirely from wind.”
As he spoke, Ren Yan signaled Feng Fan with his eyes.
"Did you see the sail of Qingdong's ship?"
"Its name is Long Guo Fan. Although it looks like a Venetian blind, it can't keep out the wind."
"But it can make good use of all the breezes coming from all directions, giving the boat non-stop power."
“It is stable and durable, and requires little wind force.”
"As for ships, although they did appear for the first time, their original design purpose was to make better use of wind power."
“Although it looks bulky and like a trapezoid, it actually has a prototype.”
Hearing this, the judges and the audience around them once again focused their attention on Qingdong's ship.
Soon, the bearded judge's eyes lit up, and he felt a sense of familiarity:
"Is this, an albatross?"
"To be precise, it's a seabird." Ren Yan nodded calmly:
"According to the calculations of the guys in our class nine, the overall size of seabirds is much more sensitive to wind than the spindle-shaped body of swimming fish."
"Although this will cause a certain degree of resistance due to the loss of fluid dynamics, the ship is sailing on the sea after all, so this little bit of resistance is harmless."
"On the contrary, the bonus of wind power is more important."
"So that's how it is..."
After Ren Yan's explanation, the bearded man became thoughtful and his eyes began to stare at Qingdong's ship. He wanted to see how much impact the wind had on the ship.
