Warhammer Seal

Chapter 79
The sea is the stage of everyone's dream.

For the dark elves, every trip to sea is a good opportunity to plunder, and will bring a lot of slaves and spoils of war.

For humans, whether it is Tyrell, Bretonnia or the Empire, every time they go to sea, they will make a lot of money.

For pirates, without elves and human fleets, they have no business to do.

But now is the resting time promised by Salt Resentment. As a captain, you must say the same thing. Since you promised to rest for a month, you can't go to sea an hour earlier.

And Wende boarded the ship in advance to feel the feeling of the ocean first.

Of course, there is another purpose of this trip, which is to persuade Yan Yuan to pay for himself.

Wind urgently needs a fund to prepare for the voyage.

Although I haven't been out at sea for a day, the stories about pirates are still very clear.

If you want to sail from Tyrell to Lustria, you will continue to sail on the equator of this planet. The hot weather and direct sunlight are very easy to dehydrate people, and fresh water is extremely scarce on the ocean.

It's not that the Swordfish of Salt Resentment is too small. Such a flagship can accommodate more than 500 pirates, and of course it can also hold a year's worth of fresh water and food.

However, during the long-term sea voyage, the fresh water will slowly deteriorate, covered with green hairs, and difficult to swallow. Even if you drink it, it will cause diarrhea and disease due to microbial problems.

So Wende got some copper, and asked the blacksmith to punch it into copper wire, and then assembled it into a very primitive hand-cranked generator.

Yes, this is a very simple experiment, electrolysis of water.

Out of trust in Wende, Salt Resentment also sat beside him, quietly waiting for him to perform the ceremony.

First, take out a handful of salt, which is the blessing of Manann, the sea god, slowly pour the salt into the water, and then stir it evenly to become salt water.

Then insert the positive and negative poles of the hand generator.

Chlorine gas will be electrolyzed from the negative electrode, such a powerful gas for purifying water.

In this regard, Wende can only refer to the gas emerging from the salt water as "Manann's Wrath", because chlorine gas can sterilize and disinfect, and people will die if they are inhaled.

Pour the "Wrath of Manann" into the fresh water that already has green hairs, remove all the green hairs, boil it, and cool it down.

Such a bowl of fresh water can be safely drunk without worrying about diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases.

Although Salt Resentment has always worshiped Manann, the god of the sea, he didn't understand the relevant rituals, which was also missed by Wende.

Moreover, after the crew's experiments, after injecting chlorine gas, that is, the "Wrath of Manann" into the water, the water that had been polluted could actually be eaten again.

It was simply a miracle brought by the Sea God. Of course, some crew members secretly took a breath of chlorine gas and immediately fell to the ground, coughing and crying.

After all, it was the anger of the Sea God, and ordinary mortals, even the salt grudges themselves, couldn't bear it.

For this miracle, all the crew took Wende to be a true priest of Manann.

Only then did he understand how helpless the man sitting on the golden toilet in another world was.

It's useless to explain scientific principles to ordinary people, they don't understand at all.

Science can only be packaged with theology, so that they can implement all scientific achievements as God's will without hesitation.

Of course, these crew members are quite smart. They learned the operation of electrolyzing water as if they had learned a certain sacrificial method, and even came up with new ideas.

If more people (more people doing power generation)

The more copper wires (the generator is big enough)
The more salted the water (the more brine)
will produce more "Wrath of Manann" (the more chlorine will be electrolyzed)
Not only can it be used to make dirty fresh water drinkable, but it can also be used to kill enemies with the "Wrath of Manann"!
Well, no matter what the process was, there were no problems in the end, and after the sea voyage, I was able to have fresh water to drink and even take a bath.

The next problem Wende will face is scurvy.

The trade routes of the empire and the high elves generally follow the coastline, and supplies are always available.

The dark elves cut out a small piece of land for navigation.

Only seagoing pirates suffered from scurvy, which sailors affectionately called the disease of land people.

After all, all pirate sailors are species that live on land. If they sail on the territory of Sea God Manann for a long time, they will inevitably be punished.

The God of the Sea stipulates that fish cannot leave the sea for a long time, and neither can pirates leave the land for a long time.

Once the time exceeds a node, then everyone who goes to sea will be cursed.

From the very beginning, the gums often bleed non-stop, to the final direct death.

Sitting in his hammock, Wende wondered how to let these people know what vitamin C is?

"Have it!"

According to Wende's request, Salt Resentment brought a lot of pickled vegetables, including celery, bitter gourd, cucumber, and a series of vegetables rich in vitamin C, as well as Manann's silk (bean sprouts) that had just been made from soybeans.

After that, some high-level pirates gathered in a small dark room, lit only one candle, and closed all the windows to ensure that everyone could not hear the sound of the waves.

"Because what I'm going to talk about next is about how to break the Sea God's curse."

Such disrespectful words can only be said on this occasion, although everyone respects the Sea God, but everyone still wants to know how to break the curse of being at sea for too long.

I saw Wende took out a handful of pickled vegetables and bean sprouts and put them on the plate. He didn't use a fork, and directly bit these things with his mouth.

Just like a fish looking for food in the sea.

After eating the pickled vegetables and bean sprouts, Wende lay upright on the deck again, jumping like a freshly caught fish.

"I'm a fish, I'm a fish, I'm a fish."

Pray three times, and the curse of the Sea God will be broken, because doing these actions will make the Sea God mistakenly think you are a fish, and thus withdraw his curse.

Damn, explaining science with superstition is a bit of an insult to Wende's innate rationality.

But what else is there to do?

A few months later, almost all pirates sailing at sea have learned these two skills, while shaking hand generators, eating pickles similar to aquatic plants, and shouting twists and turns on the deck.

"I'm a fish, I'm a fish, I'm a fish."

Of course, the topic returns to the current ship.

Ocean sailing requires attention not only to fresh water and scurvy, but more importantly. . .
