"What the hell is this?" A Yue looked at the bracelet she took off and found that there were still words in the inner circle of the bracelet. She immediately put the flashlight closer to look at it. After looking for a long time, she couldn't understand what words it was.
Gu Huaiyi, on one side, also took off the bracelet, looked carefully at the words inside, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know, it should be an ancient text, a bit like an ancient Egyptian font."
"No, absolutely not. I know what the ancient Egyptian characters look like." Ayue shook her head, "I have helped someone escort the mummy, and it is a coffin outside. The text on the coffin is obviously different from this one, the one in the bracelet
The text seems to contain a lot of text we see, with strange shapes, like a hodgepodge of world fonts."
"Take the bracelet away and see if the gauze can be taken off." Gu Huaiyi leaned over to take off the gauze, and found that it could not be taken off. The gauze seemed to grow directly on the surface of the mummy's body. He tried a few times.
After that, I had to give up.
"Two pairs of bracelets, a total of four. I'll take two. You guys, it's fair?" A Yue took the one from Tang Shuxing's hand and raised it to them. Tang Shuxing looked at Gu Huaiyi with a look.
, thinking of this woman as a person who regards money as life, he had to nod.
Ji Kefeng was still observing the mummy. After observing for a long time, he did not find any other strange places. Then he crawled along the side of the hull and headed towards the sailboat with the others.
While crawling, Tang Shuxing calculated the height and found that the hull was at least 5 floors high in a normal building, close to 19 meters high. While calculating, he heard Ayue climbing beside him.
: "This kind of ship was built in ancient times, judging from the appearance of the hull, it was close to the 18th century sailboat, but with such a large size, the full load displacement was at least 8,000 tons. I remember the largest French sail in the 19th century.
The battleship has a displacement of less than 6,000 tons, and can carry more than 1,000 crew members and more than 100 iron cannons. This kind of ship is even larger than that of a sail battleship."
"Maybe it's an alien." Tang Shuxing looked up at the top, and it was still several meters before he could climb to the side of the ship.
"I can guarantee that these things have no connection with aliens." A Yue stopped there and looked at Tang Shuxing, "There are no traces of alien activities around Philadelphia. The American [***] side has tried to do with the United States since World War II.
The aliens got in touch, but they never achieved their goal.”
Ayue said, waved her hand to Aling who had already climbed onto the deck and was squatting while looking at her, asking her to be careful.
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "You really know everything. You are a person who is engaged in intelligence transactions. I guess those people in Ming'er are not as good as you, right?"
Ayue shook her head: "I am different from those of Ming'er who are interested in the fields. I am not as good as them in terms of understanding the magic."
"Awesome, I just said that, you even know Ming Er. What else in this world is something you don't know?" Tang Shuxing had already climbed to the side of the ship and rode there, looking at the side panting.
A Yue.
"I don't know the winning numbers for the next lottery, and whether you are good or bad people, I don't know." Ayue said and smelled it around, and after confirming that there was no combustible gas in the air, she pulled it
The burning rod was ignited and distributed to everyone, and then he began to observe the huge and strange sailboat.
"The strange ship has only one main sail." Ayue stood on the spacious deck and looked around, "and the hull looked very strange, similar to the fusion of ancient sailboats in the East and the West."
"Explanation?" Tang Shuxing looked at A Yue. Except for A Yue, the people present had almost zero knowledge of sailing.
"Basically speaking, the ancient sailboats of Europeans were like fish. The appearance of ancient Chinese sailboats came from the shape of ducks, that is, the surface resistance and underwater resistance are different. The ship's shape is related to buoyancy and resistant to waves, but also to the ship's speed.
It has a considerable relationship, that is, the smaller the water resistance the hull is, the faster the speed of the ship will be..." Then Ayue said a lot about the air resistance above the waterline and the water resistance below the waterline, adding air
The terms such as density and water density can make people confused except Gu Huaiyi.
Before Ayue finished speaking, she saw the confused eyes of others and immediately changed the topic: "Simply put, this ship is like a combination of East and West ships, with the advantages of both ships at that time, and that one
The main sail seems to be just a simple push, and the main driving force is not based on this. In addition, there was no oar port on the side of the hull before, which means that the ship should not require manpower.
Swifting."
Gu Huaiyi nodded: "That's strange. Neither manpower nor wind power is needed. What is it based on? The engine?"
"Not necessarily, there are too many strange things. Even if something strange happens, I won't find it strange." A Yue said as she walked towards the building pressing on the hull, climbing with Gu Huaiyi's help
Entering that building.
This is a typical British building, with the style adhered to the principle of classical symmetry and harmony, and the decoration of heavy doors is also paid attention to the treatment of details - triangular roofs, fine inclined panes, large chimneys, etc. Materials of house construction
The main ones are bricks, cement, wood, and inlaid stones. These can all show that although the owner of this house is not very noble, he should also be a wealthy businessman in the colonial era.
Open the door and enter the building. You can see a luxurious foyer with a corridor in the foyer, which is connected to the main hall inside. Although the area is not large in total, the reasonable layout makes people look like this.
It's like a small palace.
Ayue squatted down and looked at the cracks on the floor: "This building cannot fall directly from the ground. This height is at least a few dozen meters. The weight of the building itself can definitely crush the hull, even if it is connected.
The foundation is not spared."
"What do you mean?" Tang Shuxing looked at A Yue and asked.
Gu Huaiyi interrupted on one side and said, "She should mean that after the ship hit the ground, the foundation was loosened, the building was sunk above the hull, crushing the position of the bridge. Because of the weight of the building,
Press this strange ship to where we are now."
"You mean the strange boat floats? It's impossible, there's no water!" Tang Shuxing stood at the window and looked at the square cave outside. This cave was like a dock that was docked by a submarine, but there were no water injection outlets or outlets around it.
Water outlet.
Ji Kefeng stood on one side and said, "Maybe there is another way to get into the water."
"There are mummies here again." A Yue stood in front of the recliner near the fireplace in the main hall, looking at a mummy wearing a weird costume. She said it was weird, but in fact it was also the costumes of British officers during the American Reading War.
A Yue looked at the small table next to the mummy and took it up and said, "The French 1733 pistol, the first flintlock pistol equipped in France at that time, which could be called a standard pistol, is now
We are talking about muskets, from the location of this building and the costumes of mummies, etc., I guess this person should be an officer during the American Reading War, but it is the blame for this person wearing the British Red Army officer.
The clothes, but the weapons they took were French pistols purchased by the US team at that time."
"There is another rifle here, and it's almost gone." Ji Kefeng found another rifle next to the fireplace. The barrel of the rifle was very long and it looked incredible.
Ayue squatted there, turned on the flashlight and looked carefully, then looked at the patterns on the gun, and said to herself: "It seems to be a Yeage rifle, no, it is a Kentucky rifle, this kind of flintlock rifle has
Several calibers were modified according to the German-made Jeeg rifle. The metal parts were made of copper and silver. They were more exquisite. The borehole loaded, but the loading was slow. However, this kind of gun was one of the few rifled rifles at that time.
”
As she said that, Ayue went to grab the gun again, and the buttstock of the gun was shattered. She held the gun and looked carefully and said, "What makes this kind of gun famous is reading.
In the Battle of Saratoga in the war, a US rifleman named Mosey Murphy can now be called a sniper. He killed a British general at a distance of more than 400 meters, using a Kentucky long-tube rifle.
.”
"Wow—" Tang Shuxing gave Ayue a thumbs up from one side, "I'm convinced, you really know everything."
Ayue glanced at him and said nothing. She just wore gloves and touched the mummy body, saying to herself: "There must be something that can prove his identity."
Ayue used a dagger to cut the mummy's clothes, wanting to see how he died and what the fatal injury was, but unexpectedly, after cutting the man's clothes, he found a piece of his chest when he exposed his chest.
Something like scales.
Everyone was surprised to see this, and then helped Ayue lift the body to the ground and take off all her clothes. She found that in addition to the scales on her body, the soles of the man's feet were also different from those of normal people, with only three huge toes.
The soles of the feet look very similar to lizards, and no obvious trauma was seen.
"Wait!" Tang Shuxing suddenly thought of something, pried open the mouth of the corpse with a dagger, then touched it carefully, and finally touched the obvious tunnel in his mouth. He shook his hand and looked at Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng.
He said, "This guy is a corpse!"
Gu Huaiyi also hurried forward and touched it for a while, shook his head and said, "No, it should be the first generation of corpse-making. Strictly speaking, it is like the demonic among the Shiva people. It is completely different from us. It is considered an ancestor.
The character is here.”
Ayue stood there looking at the sofa where the corpse was sitting before. The sofa was facing the fireplace. Although the mummy's hands were placed on the handrail, the index fingers of both hands seemed to point at the fireplace. The flintlock pistol on the small table seemed to be
Pointing to the fireplace, does it mean that there is something in the fireplace?
Thinking of this, Ayue began to drill into the fireplace and searched around. Finally, she found a notebook with a leather case packaged in the ashes of the fireplace, but the handwriting on it was blurred, so she looked at it completely.
It's not clear what it is written.
Ayue shook her head and threw the laptop back. Just as she was about to turn and leave, Ji Kefeng squatted down and shone the inside of the fireplace with a flashlight, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"I found something that looked like a divine, but it was almost completely destroyed." A Yue pointed to the divine notebook that was thrown back from the ashes. Just as she was about to leave, she accidentally saw the wall in the fireplace shining by Ji Kefeng's flashlight.
There seemed to be words on it, so I immediately shone my flashlight. Sure enough, someone carved the words with a dagger on the wall in the fireplace, like English, but not.
Ji Kefeng leaned closer and looked at him and asked, "What kind of text is this? It's different from the one on the bracelet before."
Ayue shook her head: "It's weird that there is English in it, but it's not all English."
"It is the combination of Anglo-Saxon and English, in short, it is Old English." Gu Huaiyi, who stood behind the two of them slowly squatted down, whispered, "It's interesting that the final complete formation of this kind of text was after 900 AD.
, but during the American Reading War, only a very small number of people could write and read this kind of text." (To be continued.)
