Chapter 843 You talk about science, but others talk about magic~~
"Darling, is there really the so-called Fountain of Youth and the Poseidon's Trident in this world? Are there really so-called gods?" Although she didn't know why Hao Shuai had to pose like this, Serena went with him.
"The Fountain of Youth and the Trident of the Sea King exist. As for the gods, there should be one, right?" Hao Shuai said not very sure.
In fact, Hao Shuai was not very sure whether Calypso was a god or not.
Call it a god~~
Hao Shuai has never seen such an absurdly weak god!?
It was actually sealed by a bunch of mortals.
It's so embarrassing!
Say no~~
The plot of the movie clearly states that she is the goddess of the sea, and in the ancient Greek mythology system, she is indeed a well-organized god.
"But if the Poseidon Trident exists, doesn't it mean that Poseidon, the Poseidon, also exists!" Serena said worriedly.
As the God of the Sea in Greek mythology and one of the three giants of the Olympus pantheon, Poseidon's reputation is so widely spread that it is no wonder that Serena is worried.
Let alone Serena, even Hao Shuai at this stage would have to kneel down if he really faced Poseidon!
Anyway, Hao Shuai has already made up his mind. When it comes time to collect the Trident of the Sea King, if Poseidon really pops out, he will get out of the way immediately and give the trident to whoever wants it!
But now she still has to appease Serena's heart: "Don't worry! I guess this world has entered Ragnarok, and those gods are dead and sleeping."
"Okay then!" Hao Shuai's comfort made Serena temporarily relax.
…
The Age of Discovery was the best and worst of times.
Countless men set sail and entered the ocean one after another with their dreams and lives.
Very few of these people succeed. The successful ones are praised, while the losers are buried in the belly of the fish. Adventure is the abbreviation of this era. Sailors and pirates are the only ones in this era. This is the Age of Discovery.
Hao Shuai didn't know whether the Age of Discovery was good or not. He only knew that sailing ships in the Age of Discovery were really boring.
No TV, no movies, no Internet, no entertainment facilities~~
This made it difficult for Hao Shuai, who was used to enjoying things, to accept it for a while, which is why he brought Serena to cosplay.
In fact, Hao Shuai didn't know that even in modern times, except for cruise ships, sailing is boring and boring, let alone the age of sailing.
Therefore, when sailing, an experienced captain will always arrange the crew's work well, and the most common thing to do is to wash the deck.
On the one hand, this is because wooden sailboats are often soaked in water, and the air at sea is humid. If they are in a humid environment for a long time, moss will easily grow and become smooth and sticky.
At this time, it is necessary to polish the corroded areas of the deck and then apply anti-corrosion substances, such as tung oil, to prevent people from slipping on the deck.
On the other hand, it is also to kill time and consume the crew's energy that has nowhere to vent.
When the provincial crew members are free, it is easy for them to grow weary~~
Of course, it was impossible for Hao Shuai to wash the deck, and Barbossa did not dare to order Hao Shuai to wash the deck. This made Hao Shuai and Serena the only idlers on the entire Black Pearl.
Fortunately, although the voyage was boring, Hao Shuai could still watch the overt and covert fight between Jack and Barbossa, two happy enemies, and watch them try to overwhelm each other with all their strength.
Sometimes Hao Shuai couldn't figure it out. Jack Sparrow had an active nature, like a monkey that couldn't sit still. With his weird brain circuitry, it wasn't surprising that he would do anything out of the ordinary.
But Barbossa is a steady person, with a somewhat old-fashioned personality, and he spares no effort to maintain his dignity. This kind of personality is at the opposite end of the spectrum from Jack, so logically speaking, he should not get along with Jack.
But in fact, whether it was fate or something else, as soon as Barbossa met Jack, Barbossa's brain circuit seemed to be connected with Jack, and the two of them could always do ridiculous things together.
Just like now, the two argued for a long time about who should be at the helm. Finally, Jack ran to Hao Shuai and shouted loudly: "Boss, I think I should be at the helm."
"Oh~ why is this? As long as you can give me a clear reason, I can consider it." Hao Shuai said easily.
He had long known that even with his previous orders, Jack would still not give up.
For Jack, who loves the Black Pearl more than anything, even if he can't be the captain, controlling the rudder to decide the fate of the entire ship is basically the same as the captain. In addition, Hao Shuai is obviously a layman captain who doesn't care about anything.
There is no difference between the first mate and the captain.
When Jack heard that there was something going on, he immediately said with a serious face: "Boss, Barbossa doesn't know anything about the Black Pearl. He is completely unable to exert the speed that the Black Pearl should have."
"It's not using its speed?" Hao Shuai felt a little doubtful as he felt the Black Pearl riding the wind and waves under his feet.
Although Hao Shuai had no idea about the speed of the ship, he also knew that the speed of the Black Pearl was already quite fast among wooden sailboats.
Just this, Jack said he didn't use his speed?
When Jack heard that Hao Shuai didn't believe it, he immediately explained: "The Black Pearl's fastest speed can reach 32 knots, and the average speed is usually 25 knots, but now it is only about 22 knots~~"
"Wait~~ You said the Black Pearl's maximum speed is 32 knots?!" Hao Shuai looked at Jack with a look on his face that said, "You think I'm stupid."
Hao Shuai felt that Jack was fooling him. You must know that even for modern cruisers, the speed of destroyers is generally between 30-35 knots.
Now you are telling me that a wooden sail warship that relied on sails for power during the Age of Discovery can run as fast as a modern cruiser?
Although I am young and seem easy to deceive, I am still a person who has gone through nine years of compulsory education. If you want to deceive people, you must at least talk about science!
Aren't you afraid that Newton's coffin won't be able to hold it down?
Huh~
Thinking of this, Hao Shuai suddenly thought of a question: Is Newton dead at this time?
Remember that Newton was born in 1643 and died in 1727, and the background time of Pirates of the Caribbean can be seen from the King of the Eagle Empire who appeared in the fourth part. He was George II, and his reign was from 1727 to 1760.
It can be seen from this that Newton may have just died at this time, and it may be possible to fake the corpse and blow up the coffin board!
Hao Shuai just wanted to refute Captain Jack from a scientific point of view, only to hear him say slowly: "The Black Pearl is a blessed ship. The sea water will remove resistance for it, and the current will carry it forward. Only the same
Only the blessed Flying Dutchman can keep pace with it on the sea."
Jack's words immediately reminded Hao Shuai that he was in a magical world. You talk to people about science, but others talk to you about magic. This is a completely unscientific world.
Hao Shuai even thought to himself: Could it be that Newton studied theology in his later years because he had an insight into the nature of the world and knew that there is magic in the world...
