The Wingspan stayed at Karasga Island for only one night.
Early the next morning, after the vast shipment of everyday supplies and various Military Magic Machinery worth over thirty thousand gold coins had been unloaded, the Wingspan set sail again. It traveled roughly eighty kilometers north of Karasga Island, rounded an island somewhat larger than Karasga Island, then turned east.
They were already more than two hundred kilometers from the coast. Even at the Wingspan's speed, they had to sail from early morning until afternoon before a dark line marking the coastline finally appeared on the distant horizon.
Nevall lowered his telescope and smiled at Xu Yi beside him. "Mr. President, it looks like we've reached our destination without any trouble. This long-distance coastal cruising test is already more than halfway to being a success."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded, but could not help looking up at the sky, which had begun to darken slightly as dusk approached.
Besides testing the Wingspan's long-distance cruising capabilities, this voyage was also intended to give its captain, Nevall, and its crew more experience in ocean voyages.
On the technologically undeveloped Sains Continent, sailors crossing the vast sea generally had to rely on experience to judge their location and heading, rather than navigating precisely with high-tech satellite positioning systems as they could on Earth.
Nevall had been so pleased to see the coastline because even he, a captain intimately familiar with these waters, had not been entirely certain he could bring the Wingspan safely and accurately to its intended destination.
This world's technology was still nowhere near launching satellites for precise positioning, so Xu Yi could hardly fault Nevall's work.
Despite his frustration with the situation, he still had to offer sincere praise for Nevall's abilities.
After all, it had taken Xu Yi a
