Chapter 279 The Drifting Bottle from the Seabed
As we all know, the drift bottle was one of the limited means of communication between people in the middle ages across the vast sea.

In the era when navigation technology was underdeveloped, the distant shore of the ocean was almost a legend to the people at that time.At that time, it was basically impossible for people to reach the other side, so they pinned their expectations in small bottles.

A bottle thrown into the sea does not know where it will float or who will pick it up. It is full of unknown mystery.

Drifting bottles also played a unique role in the nautical age. The reasons for many shipwrecks may be known from the notes in the drifting bottles.

Notes sealed in drift bottles often contain important messages or heartfelt wishes.Discovering a drifting bottle that may come from an unknown territory may be a surprise, mystery, accident, and expectation for ancient sailors...

Of course, after a hundred years, there will be more developments in the way of drifting bottles, but these are unknown to Ellis.

Ellis was a little surprised when he found the small bottle.

Because the drifting bottle drifts by itself with the direction of the water flow, some sink into the bottom of the sea, some are swallowed by whales, some are entangled in seaweed, some are washed to the beach by big waves, and are exposed to the sun all year round; only very lucky can they reach the hands of human beings .

Obviously, she was lucky enough to find the bottle.

Of course, it is also possible that this is an empty bottle, which was just buried here by the waves.

But looking at the tightly sealed bottle, it should not be a simple empty bottle.

She shook it slightly and listened carefully. The bottle in her hand was heavy and heavy, and it didn't feel like there was water in it.

The history of this drifting bottle should not be long.

At least it won't be buried here for hundreds of years.

Because she found some raised letters on the bottom of the bottle. Although they had been worn away by sea water, the labels on the outside basically didn't exist.

But under careful observation, some traces can still be distinguished.

"Na...Br?"

This seems to be a chemical formula.

Ellis, who was not very interested in chemistry since he was a child, slowly frowned his beautiful brows.

Fortunately, the education she has received is very solid, even if she is not interested in it, she has dabbled in it.

As an expression used to represent the composition of substances, chemical formulas are commonly used internationally, and she still has some simple chemical formulas in her hands.

"Sodium bromide?"

Sodium bromide can be used as a tranquilizer in medicine.

It seems that this bottle was originally supposed to be a bottle containing sodium bromide powder or an aqueous solution of sodium bromide.

There are still some smaller characters under the chemical formula, which are easy to decipher after recognizing the chemical formula, but it seems that it is not English, but a string of German.

Although the letters were missing, Ellis recognized them with solid linguistic knowledge.

"A sodium bromide bottle made in Germany..." Ellis rubbed his chin.

Speaking of Germany, I have to mention the terrible European war a few years ago.Looking at the degree of wear and tear of this bottle, it should have been corroded for several years. It is still a drifting bottle at sea, and it is even more chemical.

It's hard not to think of the German navy.

This made Ellis, who originally wanted to open the drift bottle directly, hold back, and instead planned to inform Captain Linden.

Just kidding, it was probably a bottle thrown by the Germans.

There may be some terrible chemical solvents or biochemical poisonous gases in it.

In this place where there is no village, no store, and everything is empty sea, if this bottle is really opened, it would be okay if there is nothing in it but a note.

If there really is a biological weapon, then the whole team will have to finish it.

Captain Linden also came to a similar conclusion after examining the bottle carefully.

The other two people also came over curiously.

[Zhuom, is there anything bad in this bottle? 】

Wilson quietly asked about his own system.

Zhuom presented the situation in the bottle on the screen.

There seemed to be only a few pieces of paper in there, with German written on them densely. The fonts were very rigid and neat. You could tell at a glance that it was written by a very serious person.But in the end, the handwriting seemed a lot frizzy.

Those German words confirmed Captain Linden and Ellis's guesses.

[The pollution level is within the normal range]

"There shouldn't be any biochemical gas in it." Wilson said proactively, "Although the bottle is sealed and the contents inside won't evaporate, I don't think the Germans would plant mines in it all the way. "

"I think it is possible that the German naval observation team threw it into the sea in order to detect the world's ocean currents." Geologists also gave their own opinions.

Wilson even took the initiative to take the drift bottle: "Captain, let me open it."

Captain Linden glanced at him, didn't say anything, and let Wilson take the bottle.

Wilson carefully uncorked the bottle.Because it is a chemical bottle, its sealing performance is better than that of ordinary bottles.

However, under the wind and sun of the sea, even the strongest things may be completely destroyed. The cork of this bottle can be opened with just a light break.

The content inside is basically the same as what Zhuomu just fought.

The paper has turned yellow, but the only good thing is that the inside of the bottle is basically dry, and the writing can still be seen clearly.

"German?"

The other people gathered around the drifting bottle, a little surprised, but it was reasonable.

It's time to test the language skills of the members of the expedition team again.Ellis and Captain Lyndon stood out, while William was only able to recognize part of the words.

As for Wilson, he doesn't know anything about it, but that doesn't prevent him from having a system.

To be honest, Zhuomu is really easy to use.

It would be great if I could bring Zhuo Mu with me when I took the English test.

Wilson thought with emotion.

But soon he turned his attention to the contents of the drift bottle.

[August 1917, 8, I, Karl Heinrich, Count Albert-Estein, Lieutenant Commander of the German Reichsnay and Captain of the submarine U-20, shall have this note The drift bottle thrown into the sea. 】

[My submarine ran aground on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean due to a malfunction. The exact location is unknown, but it is about 20° north latitude and 35° west longitude...]①
With the interpretation of the notes in the drifting bottle, the expressions of several people became more and more terrifying.

The hallucinations and fears from the bottom of the sea are laid out in front of them vividly with the help of these papers...
