Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 477

[Chapter 475 Morris’ Knowledge Blind Spot]

When night fell, Morris was called to the captain’s cabin.

Duncan sat behind the chart table with a serious face, and there were already a lot of messy books on the table in front of him—all books brought to the ship from Purand and Frost before, and some from the Sea Fog Fleet. got the books.

After confirming the “harmlessness” of reading at sea, the collection of books on this ship has been increasing.

Morris glanced at the table and found that the books were classified into various categories—not only anecdotes from various city-states, but also authoritative materials on history, as well as “dangerous reading materials” involving fringe theories such as doomsday theories and the Apocalypse. .

Curiosity and a little bit of uneasiness suddenly appeared in the old scholar’s heart.

The captain seemed to suddenly want to find some information, and judging from the books he took out, what he was looking for might not be that simple – he called himself here, probably to inquire about this aspect.

A little bit more vigilant in his heart, Morris quickly silently recited the name of the God of Wisdom, Raheem, and prayed for blessings in the mental field in silent prayer. He just sat down opposite the captain: “What do you want me to do?” “

…I have encountered some problems, and I need to consult a knowledgeable person like you,” Duncan nodded, and then seemed to notice Morris’ nervous expression , and smiled and comforted, “Don’t be so nervous, I’ll just ask casually, it may have something to do with history.”

Ask casually? history? A hidden truth that even the owner of the Lost Home is not sure about?

Hearing the captain’s reassurance, Morris quickly tossed Laheem’s name back and forth more than a dozen times in his heart, brushing that foolish blessing layer after layer, and then raised his head tensely: “I You are ready, you can ask.”

Duncan: “…”

Feeling helpless in his heart, Duncan also knew that the old man’s nervousness was the most normal reaction, so he sighed, and said while organizing his words: “In your historical knowledge, is there any description of such an event? ——Some kind of huge artificial object fell from the sky, accompanied by large-scale flames and flashes, this falling object may have exploded, split into several smaller parts and fell on the world.” Duncan’s voice fell

, He looked Maurice seriously in the eyes.

Morris also met Duncan’s gaze in a daze.

“…Is it over?” the old scholar asked hesitantly.

“It’s over, that’s all,” Duncan nodded. Of course, he still has a lot of details to describe, but on this kind of vague historical issue, too many details may affect Morris’ judgment, so he chose the most concise “If there are such records in history, there may be deviations in the expression, but the general events should revolve around the core scene of ‘a huge object falling in the fire’. Do you know similar events?”

The question suddenly raised by the captain was puzzling, but Morris noticed Duncan’s serious attitude, and still began to try to recall and think about it. After several minutes, he slowly shook his head: “I have never seen anything like it. Records.”

“Does it include all the official history and unofficial history?” Duncan was not surprised by Morris’s answer, but he still asked a little unwillingly, “This event may have been transformed by mythology, and even turned into some heresy. part, because it may have happened in the very long past.”

“I’m sure,” Morris said again, “including all official history, unofficial history, and heresy, as long as I have come into contact with, there is nothing similar to what you describe. That scene matches or similar event records—of course, it is not ruled out that there are still some extremely narrow legends or lost histories that record this event. After all, there are always unknowns beyond our cognition, but… …”

Morris paused when he said this, and then continued: “If it is really a secret history that even I don’t know, then it should be difficult for you to find the corresponding information from other channels… Maybe you can find Try your luck in the great library of the Academy of Truth, and look for clues in the oldest books in Moco and Qingfeng Harbor.”

Duncan didn’t speak for a while, but his eyes fell into meditation calmly, and after a long time, he calmly Nodding lightly: “You can write to the scholars you are familiar with to inquire about this matter. If you really need to negotiate with the headquarters of the Academy of Truth, you can also.” Hearing the captain’s rather solemn tone, Morris immediately

nodded nodded.

It seems that this matter is really very important.

As an old scholar who has studied knowledge all his life, he was of course aroused curiosity, so he couldn’t help asking: “Can I ask? What is this thing you’re talking about…?”

Duncan After hesitating for a moment, he spoke slowly: “I’m not sure, I also came across some illusions by accident, but even if I can’t be sure of its essence… I think this scene may be related to the current state of our world and many lost things. It is closely related to the history of the captain.”

“I see,” Morris bowed his head deeply, “I will find a way to investigate.”

He didn’t continue to ask for details, and he didn’t ask what the “illusion” the captain said, because he knew that curiosity Both desire and exploration must be just right, neither less nor more.

Duncan added after a short pause: “‘New Hope’, when investigating information, pay attention to these words.” “

Sounds like a ship?” Morris asked after thinking .

Duncan thought for a while, then nodded with a strange expression: “It’s…a ship.”

It was indeed a ship, a spaceship whose engine exploded and fell from the sea of stars to the ground.

…

Frost, Nangang, in the hidden underground facilities, undead engineers are busy.

The knowledge of half a century ago came in handy again, the ancient blueprint was taken out from the fleet warehouse, and the engineers as old as that blueprint excitedly gathered among a large pile of machines, pipes and cables, communicating with ordinary people It sounds like a book of knowledge and ideas.

Tirian sat in a corner of the hall, watching his subordinates busy around.

“I really didn’t expect that I would be able to use these blueprints again in my lifetime,” an undead engineer with a shriveled head, a big hole in his chest, and half of his body powered by a steam engine held the blueprints with an excited expression on his face. He said next to him, “Look at these drainage devices and balance mechanisms. They have made many modern changes to the submersible, but the basic principles are still the same as before, water injection, sinking, drainage, floating, and supplemented by the bilge. ballast weight…”

“I understand your excitement,” Tirian glanced at his subordinates, “but I must remind you that you are no longer alive.

” Okay,” the undead engineer with a shriveled head laughed, his incomplete teeth looked horrible, he raised his hand, and hit the steam mechanism on his half body vigorously, causing the gear train that was not running smoothly to click. It made a noise and resumed its rotation, then raised its head again, looked at the diving equipment surrounded by comrades not far away, and said with a trace of emotion after a long time, “Oh… if only I could meet its builder, it It was designed very well, with a lot of thought… They should really want this thing to be useful.”

Tirian didn’t say a word, just watched the submersible in the middle of the hall quietly, and after a long time, he finally Sighed softly: “Go and do it, it can really come in handy this time, don’t make any mistakes.” “

Yes, Captain.”

The subordinate left, and Tirian exhaled softly, At this time, a slight buzzing sound suddenly came from the crystal ball lens group at his hand, and then Lucrezia’s teasing voice sounded: “It seems that you are preoccupied, brother, when the The consul doesn’t seem to be feeling relaxed?”

Tirian turned his face blankly, watching the crystal ball on the table gradually light up, and Lucrecia’s figure emerged in the crystal ball.

“I specially moved this thing from the ship, not to hear you teasing your brother here.” “

Relax, brother, you are no longer a big pirate. The consul is a position that requires both majesty and affinity. ” Lucrezia smiled, as if she didn’t care about the dissatisfaction in Tyrian’s tone, then she changed her tone and asked curiously, “But I really want to know, is this… really father’s arrangement?”

“Otherwise?” Tirian sighed, “He has done a big thing here, a big thing you can’t imagine, and now the whole Frost is being affected by him, I should feel lucky that he has really recovered his humanity, so Although his arrangement is surprising, at least it’s not bad…whether it’s Frost or my Sea Fog Fleet, now I have an explanation.”

Lucrezia finally put away her slightly teasing smile , After thinking for a moment, she hesitated and said, “Father… is he okay now?

” Go for a walk in the park every morning, and come to my place in the afternoon to monitor the progress of the project—you care about it? Then next time he comes, I will open the crystal ball and you two can talk directly?” “Ah, then I don’t want it!” Lucret said

. Thea raised her voice almost reflexively, and then quickly resumed her ladylike posture, “I…I still need to make some preparations, so let’s not talk about this, I still have a lot to do here…” “

You What happened over there?” Tirian raised his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard this, “Speaking of which, what happened to your research over there? What’s the situation with that ‘fragment’ that fell from the sky?”

Lucrezia hesitated for a moment, originally she just found a reason to divert the topic, but at this moment she couldn’t help but sighed softly.

“There is no progress, and even Taran El of Lightwind Harbor is at a loss.”
