Chapter 214: Old-fashioned generators
By the light of the fire, I could clearly see that the name on the sign was "Tony Smith!"
This turned out to be the owner of the ghost ship back then!
I really didn't expect William's great-grandfather to die here!
And we live in a dirt cave about an hour away from here, and we haven't found it for so long!
But this is also understandable, this bamboo forest is already difficult to find in the forest, let alone this small dirt bag in this forest!
"Qin Ming, who is he!"
Ye Wan'er seemed to see the doubt in my eyes.
"Tony Smith, the owner of the ghost ship we met earlier!" I said in a deep voice.
"But this badge doesn't mean anything, it's likely that someone else collected and dropped it!" questioned Uehara Sorami.
"No, I remember, I've seen a similar badge in the thatched hut of the Bantu tribe before, and this corpse is Tony Smith, and the dagger he has on his body means that this guy was murdered, and the person who killed him is Charlie over there!" I gestured over there.
"Why?" Ye Wan'er felt like I was like Sherlock Holmes, analyzing the scene so well.
"There's a word on this knife!" I picked it up, and it was clearly engraved with the same letters I had seen earlier.
"Westerners are really stupid, why should they engrave their names on their own things, so that if they kill someone or something, won't they all be exposed?" quipped Uehara Sora.
I don't know about that.
But it's true.
I've seen Jackie Chan's movie before: Project Flying Eagle.
At that time, they were in the underground military base in the desert, and they found a knife stuck in the body of the heroine's grandfather.
And on that knife was written the murderer who killed the Supreme Commander that year: Adolf.
If you think about it, the people in the military base in that movie are also from the World War II era, which shows that since that era, Westerners have been accustomed to carving their names on the things they carry with them.
You might have a name on your underwear!
Just kidding!
Then it became clear that Tony must have found something in the basement, and then fought with the pirates of the time, and finally everyone died in the house before anyone escaped.
"There are several wires connected to the door, so it's hard to ......"
I walked towards the iron gate with the wires in tow, and sure enough, I found that the iron gate turned out to be electric!
In those days, there were even electric doors!
However, this also explains why there is nothing on the iron door, it seems to be a switch-controlled electric door.
The reason why we were able to dig up the surrounding soil was also because the soil was loose over time.
Otherwise, this electric door was an ornament at the time.
But why did Tony die next to this generator?
Could it be that he wanted to cut off the power and not let the people in the house go out?
So there must be secrets in this house that we don't know!
I tried to start this old-fashioned generator, which was different from what I had encountered in the army, but it should work similarly.
This old-fashioned generator is usually oil-burning, the same material as the kerosene lamp, and I opened the lid of the generator's oil drum and found that there was still a lot of oil in it.
The generator switch was off, and I was even more sure that the generator was turned off by Tony.
Next to the generator was a metal belt, and at the end of the metal belt was a rope, but after a long time, the rope had already broken down, and I just picked it up and broke it with a slight effort.
I had no choice but to tear a strip of cloth off my body and fasten the metal band.
The principle of this generator is similar to the spinning top we played before, as long as we pull hard.
There are one large and one small axle in it, as long as the big wheel is rotated to drive the small wheel, under the action of power, the kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy.
But it's so old that I don't really know if I can get electricity.
I pulled hard, and sure enough, it worked, and the generator made a buzzing sound, which scared the second girl.
"Qin Ming, what are you tossing!" Ye Wan'er was already scared, but now she was a little dissatisfied when I knocked her down.
"Artificial power generation!"
After saying that, I pulled suddenly, and the generator made a sound similar to that of a tractor, and the light bulb in the room suddenly flashed, and it lit up immediately!
No way!
This thing is really good!
For a person like Ye Wan'er who hasn't seen an electric light for more than half a year, this light is simply wonderful!
"Qin Ming, it's really you!" Ye Wan'er gave me a thumbs up.
"It's still called Qin Ming!" I quipped.
"My husband is the best!" Ye Wan'er ran over and grabbed my hand.
Uehara smacked her lips playfully, and I reached out to her, and the girl ran at me and into my arms.
After being greasy for a while, I patted my second daughter and turned around to look at the house.
It's never too late to go back, and the main task now is to take a closer look at the house.
The light bulb is not small, but the room is big enough, but it is not very bright.
And what I don't care about is not this room, but behind the glass door in front of me, where the light of a light bulb also comes in!
It seems that this is not the only room in this place!
There's definitely something else going on inside!
With the light bulb illuminated, I extinguished the kerosene lamp and the bamboo torch.
I couldn't see clearly because there was no light just now, but now I can clearly see that there are five corpses on the ground in addition to the three dried corpses I found just now!
I carefully examined the corpses of the remaining five people, and found that two of them belonged to Tony's gang, and the rest were from Charlie's side.
It seems that according to William's words at the time, he was right!
These five were the pirates who were chasing down Tony at the time, while the others were the people from the ghost ship back then!
But why did they fight in this house, and this Tony finally closed the iron door, could it be that there are some unknown secrets in this house?
I walked towards the light in front of me, and it was just a simple sliding door that I easily pushed open.
The hut was a little smaller than the outside, but there were quite a few beds, covered with dust, and the quilt had been eroded to the point that only a few pieces of cloth remained, and because the beds were made of iron shelves, they were rusty, but they did not collapse.
There are still two dried bodies on the ground, but they seem to be from Charlie Evans' side!
I can't help but admire this Tony a little, I didn't expect these three people to put down a full seven people on the other side!
I didn't care about the beds around me, but I was interested in the floor beneath the two dry corpses.
After all, the floor in this house is not plastered with cement, but this one location uses a lot of flooring, which means that there is a lot of hidden things underneath!
And this thing is probably the reason why Tony and this group of people are fighting here.
I couldn't wait to move the two dried corpses aside, the second daughter just looked at it and didn't help, and I didn't say anything, after all, it was a bit embarrassing for them to let the girl do this kind of thing.
I carefully cleaned up the floor with my hands, and although it was rotten, it was not completely cracked.
When it came to the secret in front of me, I didn't dare to unravel it.
Because I'm really afraid that a big worm or a big centipede will suddenly come out from here, and I've suffered a loss before!
"I'm coming!"
Uehara Sorumi rolled up her sleeves and squatted down.
