I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler - Chapter 812

Chapter 812 811. Propeller

In the end, curiosity overcame the fear of danger, and A Xiang agreed to explore the island where the treasure map is located.

Of course, not all sailors agree to explore the unknown, most of them just follow Changzheng to make money, and this trip got a lot of treasures from pirates, enough for many people to spend a few years on the shore before going to sea.

When people’s needs are met, they become salted fish.

is commonly known as making enough money.

Changzheng did not embarrass them either.

Sailors who were willing to follow him aboard the boat, and the rest stay on the island, waiting for their return.

At the same time, Nagamasa also agreed with the remaining sailors that if he did not come back after a month, then these ships and treasures would be left to the remaining people.

After all, if there is no news for a month, then nine times out of ten, it will be sent.

Of course, these sailors may also wait for Changzheng and the others to run away as soon as they set off and go back with the treasure, so Changzheng took the chart, and the crew in charge of navigation followed him. Without these two, the rest of the crew would like to It is not easy to cross the ocean to get home.

They could only find their way home by waiting for the merchant ships to pass by here once a month at most, so they had to stay on the island for two or three weeks anyway.

Not to mention that if Nagamasa finds the treasure and returns and finds that these sailors have betrayed him, after returning to the mainland, these sailors who are betrayers will definitely be caught and hanged as pirates.

The best way for the sailors who stay behind is to honestly fish on the island for a month, and then make plans, unless there is a temporary typhoon at sea or other pirates visit.

Nagamasa may seem like a brainless, hot-blooded adventurer, but he’s actually well calculated.

After allocating the personnel, one-third of the people on the ship were reduced, and the work of the sailors became busy.

Riding the wind and waves, following the markers on the treasure map, the ship began to advance towards its destination.

“Speaking of which, how are you going to sail in the windless zone?”

When    was eating, Lu Bian asked Ah Xiang.

The dinner on the boat is fish soup. The taste of the soup made from the caught fish, the bacon and dried vegetables can only be said to be edible.

In the sea, fresh water and vegetables are precious resources. Fresh water is well known. If there is no vitamin supplement for vegetables, then sailors can easily get septicemia. Therefore, most of the ships sailing on the ocean now store some dried vegetables and a lot of wine. As an inexpensive vitamin supplement.

“We got a device that can be powered by burning wine, turning in the water and propelling the boat forward.”

Changzheng took a sip of the fish soup, frowned, and explained.

“That’s amazing.”

Lu Kump exclaimed.

This sounds a little familiar.

“This is made by the best craftsmen in the city. It is said that it was provided to the official. I only got this one through a relationship.”

Nagamasa said conspicuously.

“Can we take a look later?”

Lu Kizuna asked again.

“sure!”

Thinking of showing off his baby, Changzheng drank the fish soup a little faster.

Satisfied, he brought Lu Han and others to the depths of the cabin, where there was a rather huge machine, covered with cloth, which was quite mysterious.

“This is the equipment, when we assemble it to the rear of the boat, we can sail smoothly in the calm zone!”

Nagamasa lifted the piece of cloth as he spoke.

A rather strange machine appeared in front of people.

It is somewhat different from the paddle-mounted machine in the impression of Lujing. Most of the structure of this device is exposed, consisting of a large number of gears and bearings. Compared with a durable engine, it is more like a kind of art, very steampunk style.

Lu Kian came to the front of the device, put his hand on it, and countless words appeared.

【The masterpiece brought by the flash of inspiration of the great craftsman, a small step for mankind to enter the age of steam】

【As long as you have enough alcohol to drive, make sure the user is not an alcoholic】

【Some designs beyond the times may cause a little trouble, but don’t worry as long as you restrain your curiosity】

【Suggested retail price: none】

What I didn’t expect was that this thing actually worked.

Lu Bian thought for a while. He knew that there was no such equipment in the island. Does this mean that the manufacturing technology of this thing may have been lost in the future?

Moreover, from the description of the item, it is not entirely the result of the technological development of this exotic land. The craftsmen who designed and manufactured it have more or less drawn inspiration from other exotic places and have been contaminated to a certain extent.

There may even be some unsnoopable pollution in this device, you can only use it, don’t try to parse it.

In fact, even if this equipment is just a hoax, poor Changzheng has been fooled again. Lu Jian also has a way to let the ship sail in the windless zone. It is not a big problem, but seeing this equipment still makes him feel about the future of Hedao. Developed a little more curiosity.

Back on the deck, the moonlight was dim, but the stars were extremely dazzling.

They form different shapes, arranged by the magnificent imagination of the ancients as constellations to guide the direction of navigation.

This starry sky is completely different from what Lu Jian saw on Earth, and those constellations also have their own names.

Lu Kizuna noticed that A Xiang was sitting by the railing on one side of the ship, holding a notebook to record something.

He leaned closer and found that the sea on that side seemed to be emitting a shimmer.

“It’s a jellyfish. To be precise, this kind of tracer jellyfish can only be seen in the distant sea. They swarm in groups and use the light to attract small fish, and then prey on the little ones that are caught.”

A Xiang looked at the sea and said.

In the light, you can see countless jellyfish swaying and floating in the sea, attracting schools of fish, shuttling among them, from time to time some fish stop swimming, and are wrapped and wrapped by the tentacles of jellyfish, which become the nourishment for their growth.

“It is said that this jellyfish can cure diseases, but the samples are too small, only those who are rich can buy it.”

Due to the underdeveloped ice-making technology, ocean fishing is difficult to achieve in Hedao, and even the seaside creatures are not necessarily accessible to the sea creatures, let alone come to this kind of sea area to study ecology.

“The presence of these jellyfish is a good sign because they are only found in the cleanest and clearest waters and are food for another creature.”

Axiang pointed to the distance, and Lu Bian saw that under the shining starlight, a dark shadow was slowly approaching, parallel to the ship, and swimming towards the swaying light spot.

The next moment, while being illuminated by the light, the shadow showed its own appearance, it was a huge whale, its fins flapped like wings, and the huge body drilled out of the sea, with a mouth dragging. Light jellyfish.

The body of this whale is almost transparent, and you can see the shimmering light emitted by the jellyfish after being swallowed. It fell into the water, causing huge waves, and then quickly dived into the deep sea without a trace.

“This is a water whale. Most of its body is composed of water, which makes them swim extremely fast and are good at concealing themselves. Fortunately, they are not aggressive and are actually very tame animals.”

A Xiang explained again.

“These creatures form a complete food chain in the sea, and they can make it cycle here, last for a long time, and exist forever.”

he sighed.

“Forever.”

Lu Kizuna repeated.

He knew very well that these creatures would no longer exist in the future and the island.

What a splendid civilization and ecology will be turned into nothingness under the erosion of pollution.
