The Amazing son in law Chapter 7829
As soon as the departure window opened, the waiting ships weighed anchor, lined up, and sailed out of the dock, embarking on their journey to Antarctica.
Although these research vessels are all heading to Antarctica, their routes are quite different. Most of the research vessels go to the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, and very few ships go to the Antarctic continent with its harsher climate. Therefore, after leaving port, just a few dozen nautical miles away, all the ships changed direction and their tracks scattered.
The Iliad research vessel’s first stop is Antarctica. After arriving in Antarctica, they will pick up the staff of that research station and then go to other research stations on the archipelago. Eventually, all the staff will be evacuated to Ushuaia. At that time, the staff will fly back to Northern Europe, while the research vessel will take nearly a month to return to its home port.
On the second day of the voyage, the research vessel entered the Drake Passage. The infamous Roaring Forties lived up to their name, with winds generally reaching force 8 to 10 and waves at least five meters high. The ship sailing through this strait was like a tiny boat in a raging storm, appearing exceptionally small.
Due to the harsh weather and the fact that the research vessel itself was not traveling very fast, it was not until the third day that the research vessel had not yet left the Drake Passage, and the wind and waves outside were getting bigger and bigger.
While charlie wade, Yun Rugo, and Song Ruyu were single-mindedly practicing the Great Sun Tathagata Hand Seal, Lin Wan’er (Alani) was in her room using her delicate body to resist the violent ups and downs and rocking of the ship. At the same time, her dark eyes were fixed on the deep, almost black seawater outside the window and the waves that were higher than the cabin, and she clenched her fists nervously.
In her more than three hundred years of life, Lin Wan’er (Alani) had never been to Antarctica.
She had boundless anticipation for Antarctica, but she also dared not forget her awe of nature. As she watched the ocean, which was even higher than the ship, slam against the porthole with tremendous force, causing the entire ship to tremble, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
charlie wade felt the ship heaving violently. The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look for Lin Wan’er (Alani). He saw Lin Wan’er (Alani) gripping a small table fixed to the floor, barely managing to stay afloat amidst the raging waves. He immediately went over, took her hand, and asked, “Miss Lin, how are you feeling? Are you seasick?”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) was surprised that charlie wade had woken up from his meditation. She said somewhat shyly, “Thank you for your concern, young master. I’m not seasick, just a little nervous. Although I’ve been on many transoceanic ships, I’ve never seen such big waves before…”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) traveled between Europe and America, Japan and Southeast Asia in modern times, which naturally involved crossing oceans by ship. However, the climate of almost all the seas she sailed through was not as extreme as the Roaring Forties.
Let alone sailing ships or steam-powered iron ships of that era, even most modern ships do not meet the requirements for traversing the Roaring Forties. Only special ships that can withstand winds and waves of force 10 or higher and have obtained polar vessel certificates are allowed to pass through here, and they must also follow regulations and can only pass through when the maritime authorities deem it appropriate; otherwise, there is a risk of capsizing.
charlie wade channeled some spiritual energy into her meridians through her pulse points, saying, “Spiritual energy can help you enhance the strength of your limbs, which will also help you cope with the storms. Once we cross the Drake Passage and approach the Antarctic continent, the storms will subside.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) felt a surge of power within her body, her balance and core strength against the storms were greatly enhanced, and she felt much less uncomfortable than before. She nodded gratefully and said softly, “Young Master, please go into meditation and cultivate. Don’t worry about me.”
