I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

He carefully looked at the drawings of the monsters, and although there were only a few strokes, they accurately depicted the shapes of the monsters.

One of the monsters had tentacles like a giant squid, but beneath the tentacles were crab legs and pincers.

Another was in the form of a long snake, with its head covered with bones, like a dragon.

The other one is like a sea urchin, with spikes all over its body, but one eye opened in the middle of its body, giving people a creepy feeling.

Surrounding the island marked by the cache point, these three monsters appear to be guarding the treasure.

"Also, Ms. Shia and the others are very powerful in fighting, we don't need to be afraid of these monsters!"

Changzheng persuaded again.

On the side, Lu Jian and the others didn't care about the dispute and discussion between the two, but focused on those monsters.

This monster looks a bit like the octopus that Leopard has just pinched, not to mention, but their appearance is definitely not what can be grown under normal circumstances, and they are obviously polluted.

And Hedao has no filth yet, and the pollution level is not high. The fact that such a cute-looking monster can appear must be the leakage of pollution.

The task of Lu Jian and the others is to witness the germination of the god cherry. The god cherry is planted to fight against pollution. Therefore, wherever there is pollution, there is an environment for the growth of the god cherry.

What's more, there are no familiar places in the sea chart that Lu Jian has seen so far. He has reason to suspect that Hejima has undergone tremendous changes before and after the planting of the cherry blossoms, resulting in a different area for people to live in.

Therefore, no matter how the two argue, Lu Jian and Xi Ya must go to the place marked by the treasure map to check the situation.

At worst, just get a pirate ship and drive there by yourself.

While thinking, they seemed to have reached a conclusion.

===811.Propeller===

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

Of course, not all sailors agreed to explore the unknown. Most of them just followed Nagamasa to make money. This trip got a lot of treasures from pirates, enough for many people to squander on the shore for a few years before going to sea.

When people's needs are met, they become salty fish.

That is commonly known as making enough money.

Changzheng did not embarrass them either.

Those sailors who would go with him embarked, while the rest remained on the island, waiting for their return.

At the same time, Nagamasa also made an agreement with the left-behind sailors that if he did not return 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, it is likely to be mailed.

Of course, these sailors may also run away as soon as Nagamasa and the others set off, and go back with their treasures, so Nagamasa took the chart, and the crew in charge of navigation followed him. Without these two things, the rest of the crew wanted to It is not easy to cross the ocean to return home.

They can only wait for a merchant ship to pass by once a month for help before they can find their way home. Therefore, in any case, they will have to stay on this island for two or three weeks.

Not to mention that if Nagamasa finds the treasure and comes back, he finds that these sailors have betrayed him. After returning to the mainland, these sailors who are traitors will definitely be arrested and hanged as pirates.

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

Nagamasa looks like a brainless and passionate adventurer, but in fact he has calculated well.

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

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

"Speaking of which, how are you going to navigate in the windless zone?"

While eating, Lu Jian asked Ah Xiang.

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

On the sea, fresh water and vegetables are precious resources. As we all know, if there is no vegetable vitamin supplement, sailors will easily suffer from septicemia. Therefore, most ocean-going ships now stock some dried vegetables and a lot of wine As an inexpensive vitamin supplement.

"We have a device that can be powered by burning wine, and it turns in the water to propel the boat forward."

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

"That's really amazing."

Lu Jian admired.

This sounds a bit familiar.

"This is made by the best craftsman in the city. It is said that it was provided to the government. I got this one only after I found a relationship."

Changzheng said braggingly.

"Can we see it later?"

Lu Jian asked again.

"of course can!"

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

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

"This is the device. When we assemble it to the rear of the ship, we can sail smoothly in the calm zone!"

While talking, Changzheng lifted the piece of cloth at the same time.

A rather weird machine appeared before people's eyes.

It is a little different from the paddle machine in Lu Yi's impression. Most of the structure of this device is exposed. It is composed of a large number of gears and bearings. Compared with a durable engine, it is more like some kind of artwork, with a steampunk style.

Lu Jian came to this device, put his hand on it, and countless words emerged.

[The masterpiece brought by the flash of inspiration of the great craftsman, a small step for human beings to enter the age of steam]

[As long as there is enough alcohol to drive, make sure the user is not an alcoholic]

[Some designs that transcend the times may cause a little trouble, but as long as you hold back your curiosity, you don’t have to worry]

[Suggested retail price: None]

Unexpectedly, this thing actually works.

Lu Juan 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 later?

Moreover, judging from the description of the item, it is not entirely the result of the technological development of this foreign land. The craftsmen who designed and manufactured it more or less drew inspiration from other foreign lands and were polluted to a certain extent.

It may even be possible that this device contains some undetectable pollution, it can only be used, and don't try to analyze it.

In fact, even if this device is just a hoax, poor Nagamasa has been fooled again, and Lu Jian can also make the ship sail in the calm zone. It is not a big problem, but seeing this device still makes him wonder about the future of Hejima. The development is a little more curious.

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

They constitute different shapes, arranged as constellations by the magnificent imagination of ancient people, guiding the direction of navigation.

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

Lu Jian noticed that Ah Xiang was sitting by the railing on one side of the ship, recording something with a notebook.

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

"It's jellyfish. To be precise, this kind of tracer jellyfish can only be seen in the open sea. They form groups and use light to attract small fish, and then prey on those little guys that are caught."

Ah Xiang looked at the sea and said.

In the light, countless jellyfish can be seen swaying and floating in the sea, attracting schools of fish to shuttle among them. From time to time, some fish stop swimming and are entangled and wrapped by the tentacles of jellyfish, becoming the nourishment for their growth.

"It is said that this jellyfish can cure diseases, but there are so few samples that only those with money can buy it."

Due to the underdeveloped ice-making technology, deep-sea fishing is difficult to achieve in Hedao. The creatures in the distant seas may not even be accessible to people at the seaside, 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 clear waters and are food for another creature."

Ah Xiang pointed to the distance, and Lu Jian saw that under the shining of the colorful stars, a black shadow was slowly approaching, parallel to the ship, and swimming towards the swaying spot of light.

The next moment, while being illuminated by the light, the black figure showed its own appearance, it was a huge whale, its fins flapped like wings, and its huge body came out of the sea, with its 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 into its stomach. It fell into the water, stirred up huge waves, and quickly dived into the deep sea without a trace.

"This is a water whale. Most of its body is made of water, which makes them swim extremely fast and good at hiding themselves. Fortunately, they are not aggressive and are actually very docile animals."

Ah Xiang explained again.

"These creatures form a complete food chain in the sea. They can make this place circulate, last for a long time, and exist forever."

He sighed.

"Always exist."

Lu Bian repeated.

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

How brilliant civilization and ecology will be reduced to nothingness under the erosion of pollution.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===812.Sea of ​​Tranquility===

Many people find the sailing experience exciting and novel.

This is indeed the case for the first few days on the boat. Whether it is the surging waves, the blue sky, or the seagulls flying side by side with the ship's side, it gives people a vast feeling of freedom in all kinds of frosty sky.

But when the voyage is halfway through, facing the sea and the sky, only the world of waves, no matter how curious people are, they will feel bored.

Not to mention the limited food reserves on board, in order to prolong the use of resources as much as possible, most sailors will fish up for dinner.

Eating one or two meals of fresh sea fish just caught is a pleasure, but after eating for a while, it can only be torture if it is paired with the barren seasoning of the island.

Even Lu Yi has brewed his own soy sauce and developed a way to eat it raw, which is better than spoiling fish with various seasonings.

At this time, Lu Jian felt that some places eat raw food, not because they are barbaric, but maybe because there are no good cooks in that place, the survival of the fittest, everyone chooses freely, and finally formed the tradition of raw food.

Anyway, his stomach is not afraid of any parasites, so even if there are small dark yellow worms wriggling on those fish, he can eat them without changing his face.

Compared with wheat and bread, the advantage of rice is that it is easy to store, and when you want to eat it, you can just add water and boil it.

Even when you are lazy, it is very convenient to throw it into the fish soup and mix it with rice.

Lu Juan sat on the deck and ate two big bowls of rice with just the soy sauce and sashimi.
