Iason

This tortuous adventure was originally led by heroes helping Iasson to obtain the Golden Fleece in exchange for the throne. But then Iasson betrays Medea, abandons his wife and children, and the adventure story gradually leads to a tragic ending. The Argo, which completed its mission, transformed into the celestial constellation, the constellation of Southern Ship. Susan was once the largest constellation and was later split into The Constellations of Vela, Velas, Stern, and Compass.

The general captain is 37 meters long, and the weight of the ship can reach about 45 tons. Since there are about 170 oarsmen (one person per oar) rowing at the same time, the speed of the boat can generally reach about 7 knots very quickly. Its large eyes are full of seduction, and its pointed chin is very cute, but it is used to hit other ships.
