Chapter 172 Mona Lisa Suoke

Hearing the name of the pioneer of the ocean, a lot of information quickly appeared in Ross's mind.

300 years ago, human navigation technology gradually matured, and people turned their attention from the land to the mysterious and vast ocean.

At that time, the Rick family was one of the many ocean pioneers at that time.

At the very beginning, the entire Ruker family was nothing more than a small unknown speculator, engaged in the business of reselling goods at sea.

What changed all this was the third decade after the great voyage.

An immortal genius named Mona Lisa Rick appeared in the Rick family.

This fierce man was born in the Ruke family in the year when the great voyage started, and he has a very outstanding talent for modern science such as machinery since he was a child.

When she was 30 years old, she successfully improved the clock, which greatly improved the accuracy of the current clock, and added the calendar function to the large shipboard clock.

This technology is revolutionary. You must know that those ocean-going vessels often do not see land for half a year or even a year, let alone the flow of time, which can easily lead the crew into a kind of madness.

And this technology can at least make the crew see hope every day, and allow the captain to calculate the time at all times and make relevant plans.

If the first technology can be regarded as the icing on the cake, then the second technology can be said to have changed the navigation process of the entire empire.

That is the improvement of the compass.

The original compass is very backward and inaccurate. Along with continuous navigation, it is often disturbed by the magnetic field in different regions, causing it to fail, or to identify the wrong direction.

The improved compass by Mona Lisa Rick not only has a clear improvement in accuracy, but also has a very strong anti-interference ability, and for the first time added a finer scale to the compass, dividing the original east, west, north, south, and north in detail. sixty intervals.

In the following decades, the Ruker family swept the entire sailing age with these two technologies, and even later the empire stipulated that all ships that wanted to go to sea needed to be equipped with these two devices, otherwise they were prohibited from going to sea.

Relying on the support of the empire, the Rick family turned to open a shipyard. Mona Lisa Rick showed her amazing talent at this time. The ancient wooden sailboat was designed by her whimsy. With continuous improvement, a huge evolution can be completed in almost two years.

After ten years, the Rosas Empire's first steel ship went to sea.

However, it is a pity that, perhaps because God was jealous of talents, Mona Lisa Rick died of overwork at the age of 42. Since then, the navigation technology of the entire empire has degraded from the speed of high-speed rail to the speed of green leather cars.

Since then, Mona Lisa Rick has not only been emphatically written into the history textbooks of the school, but she can be seen in all aspects. Her good habits in her youth have become an example to guide young people, and her bad habits have become a role model for young people. Habit becomes a commandment for all children.

Ross has known the greatness of Mona Lisa Rick from textbooks since elementary school, and the name has been with him until he graduated from college.

In this era, the level of Mona Lisa Rick's singing is equivalent to the combination of Newton, Galileo, Darwin and many other big names.

Ross temporarily put these memories to the back of his mind and said with a smile: "It's really a group of big people."

Char said seriously: "Master, the Ruker family still controls the largest ocean transportation, hunting and many other businesses in the entire empire. According to legend, they are also inextricably linked with the Imperial Navy. If you want to do it , but don't leave any flaws."

Ross looked at the approaching ships with a smile and said: "I understand that Arkham will also vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry in the future. If we break up with them, this plan can fall through."

Seeing these four big ships approaching, the mermaids in the shallow sea became anxious.

Kos turned to look at Ross.

"Leave it to me." Ross said, asking Danny to quickly call Captain Oyok over.

"You should know the semaphore, right? According to the order of the Imperial Army, let them dock." Ross said.

Although Oyok didn't know what Ross meant, he was still very clear about the Queen's order.

So the communications soldiers quickly arrived and began to command.

Meanwhile, the whaling ship.

"Master Borg, the army on the coast let us dock at the port." In the captain's room, an old captain in his 50s said respectfully.

Beside him is a 27-year-old blond youth.

The young man is tall and thin, with a slightly elongated face, a mustache, and a well-dressed suit.

It's just that he was sitting there at this time, seemingly casually, without a coat, his white shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, and he was only wearing a brown plaid vest outside.

Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly: "Do as they say."

"Master, do you really want to dock? We are here just to check the situation?" the old captain asked cautiously.

The problem in Innsmouth has completely erupted, and they at sea naturally knew the news through the radio.

They were nearby and happened to find a group of extremely rare mermaids, so they came here by the way.

The young man stood up and tied the collar and said: "Remember, we are businessmen outside the country. The first rule of being a businessman is to obey the command of the army at all times. Otherwise, you will not only die, but also become a traitor. Thief, your family won't even get your inheritance."

The old captain sighed: "The young master is right."

Immediately, he began to issue orders.

After watching the four ships head to the port very obediently, Ross expressed his satisfaction.

"You wait here, Danny and Captain Oyok and I will go there." Ross said and walked towards the port of Innsmouth.

Innsmouth has been razed to the ground, and the port has naturally been affected. Although the shore is in a mess, the docking port near the sea is still intact.

Four whaling ships over 100 meters gradually anchored and broke down.

Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Ross and others, a passage extended down from the deck, and then a large number of heavily armed guards walked down first.

After that, the tall and thin young man walked down and down accompanied by the old captain.

Danny whispered: "Master, this is Borg Rick, the third son of the Rick family and the fourth heir."

"The fourth pick, isn't that a no-go with the right of inheritance?" Ross raised his brows.

The voice was not too loud, but it happened to be heard by Borg.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Borg's eyes, but he still walked over with a smile on his face, and asked Captain Oyok, "Captain, did we do something wrong? Let's dock now?"

Oyok said lightly: "Innesmouth is now under martial law. If you enter the waters of Innsmouth without authorization, you have entered our restricted area!"

 It is expected to reply to the third update on the 28th
