Judging from the posture of the 'murloc' in the ice, it must have been dead for some time before it was discovered by the old man. Because the outer part of its body had been eaten by various fishes, only its slightly hunched body was left.
"They don't usually appear in the coastal waters, this is …"
Jeremy took a closer look and found that not only was the murloc huge, but the shape of its head was also much fiercer than he remembered. Several strange bone spurs protruded from the surface of its body, giving it an indescribable sense of aggression. This was completely inconsistent with the marine research data in recent years. In the eyes of Lachman researchers, murlocs had never been aggressive. Because they lived in the distant seas, only a few sightings were recorded by long-distance fleets, and they were generally only about 1.4 meters tall. Therefore, Jeremy knew that the murloc in front of him was probably completely different from those.
"I guess we'll have to increase the number of research ships in the open sea and issue a few more missions … What an eventful time, the border hasn't been peaceful recently."
Jeremy rubbed his brows. This made the old man turn his head with interest. "Border? There are still small countries that are dissatisfied with Lachman? "
"It's not that they're dissatisfied with Lachman. Eiskar has initiated wars against the countries next to it. I don't know what's wrong with them. Maybe there'll be another war … "
"Isn't that a good thing for us?"
"That's true, but I always feel that ever since the new King Talia came to power, Eiskar has been a little out of control like a mad dog. This doesn't feel good. "
"Mad dog …"
Jeremy narrowed his eyes.
*****
On the 8th of September, the fleet led by Houdini had entered the familiar waters and was expected to reach Lachman in three days.
The sailors in the cabin were much more active than before. Wandering at sea for more than a month was not a comfortable thing for anyone, so the soldiers from Eiferta were even more excited than the sailors. The burly barbarians shouted and played bare-chested wrestling, while the cavalrymen swung their swords back and forth, venting their exuberant energy.
Inside the cabin, Sylvia held a cup of ice cream as she skillfully drew a card with one hand. Then, she slapped it down. "Self-draw! Thirteen One! Hahaha — "
"Ahhhhh, how is this possible! It must be fake! "
"My gold coins!"
Naifei, Akasha, and Merlinsera all crowded around her to see if she was cheating. Then, they began to rummage through the gold coins on the side and asked Sylvia to pay for all the food and lodging expenses. Sylvia patted her chest and promised with a smug look on her face.
"Anything you have, please! Just find the most expensive one! Hahaha … "
Above the joyful cabin, Houdini was revising his thesis on the mutant deep-sea creatures in the captain's room. Roddy pushed the door open and entered, intending to talk to him about the arrangements after they went ashore. He saw the words written by Houdini's quill and pointed at it curiously. "Deep sea creatures? Can I have a look? "
"I'm still working on it. Take a look and give me some suggestions."
Houdini was just being polite because he knew that Roddy had never written a thesis before. In other words … the entire Kingdom of Karen did not have a systematic thesis system. The paper in Magic was too shallow in his eyes. If it were in Lachman's hands, he would definitely be scolded like a dog.
Roddy was actually curious about how Lachman's thesis was written. As a graduate of the New Era, he had read a lot of papers to complete his graduation thesis. Speaking of undergraduate experience, he did not really remember much about his major after graduation. However, the change in his way of thinking and logic was something that could really benefit him.
Therefore, after a brief reading of Houdini's thesis, Roddy came to the conclusion that although there was nothing wrong with Houdini's thesis, the way he expressed it was extremely messy. There were no diagrams or diagrams. After reading for a long time, he felt that it was all over the place. There was no logical order for him to quickly grasp the key points.
A Single Leaf in Autumn. Based on the level of the Archmage's thesis, Rody estimated that 80% of Lassman's theses in the entire sorcerer world had similar problems. The reason why it did not improve was probably because everyone was used to it.
"What do you think?"
Houdini felt that in terms of professional knowledge, he was way better than Roddy. Therefore, when he asked this question, he could not help but sound like he was waiting for praise. Naturally, Roddy would not find fault with him directly. He nodded and said, "You saw a lot more details than I did. These analyses are all unheard of before, but they are obviously very useful for reference. I think Lachman has accumulated a lot of research on marine life. In comparison, the Kingdom of Karen probably still has a lot of blank space in this area. "
"After all, Lachman has already conquered more than ten small countries nearby. Now it has set its sights even further. Otherwise, the current resources will definitely not be enough in the future."
This was naturally something to be proud of. However, seeing that Roddy still had something to say, he asked curiously, "Is there something you don't quite understand?"
"It's not that I don't understand. I was thinking that you will publish this thesis, right?"
"Yes, the journal in charge of marine life, Deep Blue. I have written three theses before. It is currently the most authoritative marine academic journal in Lachman, "Houdini said confidently.
Houdini spoke very confidently. After all, these papers had brought him a lot of Arcane Energy Points. However, Roddy did not ask any more questions. Instead, he picked up a pen and looked at his thesis while drawing a simple bar chart. All the data in Houdini's thesis was directly listed, which made Roddy, a modern university student, dizzy. Now that he saw the chart, he immediately felt refreshed.
After that, it was time to sort out the logical order. Roddy was a science and engineering major. The structure of his previous thesis was generally "asking questions," "making hypotheses," "making plans," "doing experiments," "analyzing results," and "drawing conclusions." To put it bluntly, this kind of scientific research thesis was to make an analysis after comparison. Therefore, the experimental steps were skipped. However, for the thesis to be qualified, it had to be "simple, easy to understand, and clear." These were the prerequisites. Houdini's words alone could not pass the test.
All he did was rearrange the content of the thesis. Of course, in order to respect Houdini's results, Roddy wrote a brief outline on the draft paper. At the same time, he wrote a table of contents in front of it, indicating a clear structure such as "1. Research on the Mutant Species of Aiur Sharks" and "1.1 Abnormal Behavior."
In less than two to three minutes, Roddy finished writing the outline. Together with two drawings that he had drawn casually, Roddy handed them to Houdini and said, "In the Efta Research Department, I ask them to write in this format. I didn't change the content because I think it's already very good. However, if the format is optimized, it should read better. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. "
