Chapter 477 My Great Ming Divine Ship
Because Lin Wanxia is the only designer, I hope she can go with us.
Of course, as a special care, Jiang Sinian will also be arranged on the submarine.
Lin Wanxia had no reason to refuse, so she agreed and said that she would rush back to the shore before the submarine went to sea.
Hearing that Jiang Sinian would also be on the submarine, Lin Wanxia had to leave Yueyue with Alex and set off on her return journey.
Lin Wanxia got off the Xingyue halfway, and that small boat could not return to the inland, and it was difficult to even reach the nearest port.
Alex felt sorry for her because she was a pregnant woman, and gritted his teeth and lent her the Shenying.
Lin Wanxia had always wanted to drive a black ship, but Alex refused. This time he finally had the opportunity, so of course he would not refuse. Alex was
so angry that he didn't even send her off, and he didn't let Yueyue send her off.
Lin Wanxia happily boarded the Condor.
The Condor was simple but that didn't affect its power at all.
This time, driving the ship as the captain, Lin Wanxia became more and more aware of the strong Chinese flavor of the ship.
It should have been the ship of our ancestors, but I don't know how it fell into the hands of pirates.
It was modified so many times that it was a bit unrecognizable.
After setting up the automatic driving, Lin Wanxia began to enter the cabin to search for treasures.
Every visit will bring new gains.
Not material, but spiritual.
It is very inspiring for her design ideas.
As Alex said, there are many hidden devices on the Condor.
I probably know that Lin Wanxia will not just drive the boat honestly on the ship, but will definitely check it secretly.
Not long after Lin Wanxia went out to sea, she received several text messages from Alex.
The first one only had three words: "Be careful on the road."
From the second one onwards, the text messages were very long.
At first, he explained the Bagua formations, mechanisms and hidden weapons to Lin Wanxia in detail.
But typing Chinese characters might be difficult for Alex. Although Lin Wanxia didn't know why he refused to call her, and even when Lin Wanxia called him back, he hung up, so he insisted on sending text messages.
Lin Wanxia thought, just send it, it's not like he can't afford the text message fee.
However, Alex was a person with poor patience. He got annoyed after sending three or five messages. He marked the solution to the secret room in the cabin and told Lin Wanxia that the instruction manual was in the secret room and asked her to read it herself.
A long time later, Lin Wanxia curiously asked Alex why he didn't call at that time.
Alex said that Yueyue missed her mother as soon as Lin Wanxia left, and she cried and fell asleep on him, but he couldn't put her on the bed because she would wake up if he did.
He was afraid that calling Lin Wanxia would wake Yueyue up, and he was also afraid that Lin Wanxia would do something stupid on the boat before Yueyue woke up, so he just sent a message.
Lin Wanxia laughed at him a lot, but she kept the warmth in her heart.
But that's a story for later.
At the moment, Lin Wanxia didn't understand what was so good about hiding a broken instruction manual.
She didn't understand why there was such a thing as a secret room on the boat.
Although she complained in her heart, she still followed Alex's marks and found the secret room.
If she hadn't had Alex's guidance and had searched it herself, she would probably have been shot to death by the same black iron arrow.
The secret room is not big, and it is decorated like a study.
It is a Chinese-style study, and a very old one.
There was a thick mat in front of the short long desk.
Lin Wanxia sat on the mat.
She had to sit there, because there was a sheepskin scroll on the desk, a very long one, written in ancient language, which could not be understood without careful study.
The sheepskin scroll was covered with a leather cover that was added later and was not a matching one.
There were three Chinese characters written on the leather cover: Instruction Manual.
Anyway, it felt a bit complicated.
A special potion was applied on the long sheepskin, which did not smell pungent, but was not fragrant either.
Probably some kind of preservative.
The calligraphy on the parchment was obviously written by a master, with neat handwriting and easy to recognize.
It was indeed an instruction manual.
It explained in detail the functions of the ship.
The explanations were very detailed in each area.
There was also a postscript on the back, which talked about the origin of the ship.
It turns out that this ship is not called the Divine Eagle, but the Black Eagle.
The Black Eagle is made entirely of black iron, and it clearly states how much food it can hold, how many weapons it can carry, and how fast it can sail .
Although the article on the other side is not difficult to understand, as a Chinese, there are many redundant parts when reading it.
Lin Wanxia found it strange, and she followed several methods of reading treasure maps in TV dramas.
For example, burning it across a fire, splashing water. But she
didn't find it.
Even when she read the acrostic poem, she didn't find it.
Just when Lin Wanxia wanted to give up and roll up the parchment, she saw the riding seam.
It's not called the riding seam, anyway, it's the part where the front and back meet when it's rolled up.
Lin Wanxia folded it all and found that it was written on it where the black iron was located.
It is said that there is black iron ore on the seabed.
The shipbuilder should be from the Ming Dynasty.
He meant that if he could not return to his country, he hoped that future generations could present this parchment scroll to the emperor.
With black iron ore in hand, whether it is to make armor and weapons for our officers and soldiers or to build ships, it can help our army become stronger.
We can cross the ocean and reconquer the barbarians.
Lin Wanxia felt uncomfortable reading it.
She thought, ancestor, you should send this away!
Thousands of years have passed, and this instruction manual has never left the ship.
If it can be sent out, what if our Ming navy can reach Europe?
Oh my God! I dare not even think about it.
Then there will be only one language left in the world, how great!
Children no longer have to feel sad about learning English.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
All the twists and turns in the world are due to coincidence.
Also, Lin Wanxia flipped through it for a long time but it only said it was on the bottom of the sea, not which bottom of the sea.
Lin Wanxia tried her best to study the parchment for a long time, but still got nothing.
For several days, Lin Wanxia's mind was on the black iron ore.
Unfortunately, she couldn't find the specific address. It only said it was near the Misty Island.
The Misty Island is not big, but it is not small either.
Seeing that they were about to reach the Xinzhong Islands, Lin Wanxia still had no idea. After
all, she was not lonely along the way.
Her mind was always turning, and she had no time to feel sad.
The day before docking, Lin Wanxia sat in the living room.
There was a soft couch in the living room separated by a screen.
The screen was double-sided embroidered, very delicate.
On one side was a landscape painting, and on the other side was a ship.
Lin Wanxia saw this screen almost every day, but never took it to heart.
While daydreaming, her eyes fell on the screen.
There was a sea island painted on the screen, and on the island were ancient buildings.
Some people were working in the fields, and some were fishing in the sea.
It was quite poetic.
It was similar to Misty Island.
An idea flashed in her mind, and Lin Wanxia sat up straight.
She covered the Chinese building with her hands.
This is Misty Island.
Originally, Misty Island should have been full of ancient Chinese buildings, and no one knew when the castle was overthrown and rebuilt.
And the castle was also quite old, it could be considered an ancient castle.
In addition, the location of Misty Island is extremely secret, and this ship is too expensive, so few people will go on board and visit the island, so this secret has not been discovered?
Moreover, this ship and Misty Island have always been in the hands of foreigners.
Maybe they have always been in the hands of pirates, so they have not seen the light of day for a long time.
