Chapter 15 Countries without fresh water
Roger's and his company's ship docked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, Schalke planned to go ashore to have a look, but Roger, who couldn't wait for a new adventure, drove the boat over.
The man on the shore had been busy with his own business, and there were some strange bottles and cans beside him, as well as some strange materials. He turned a blind eye to this gang of people who were landing on the shore with pirate flags.
"We're pirates, look! that's our pirate flag!" Nuss said as she walked over and pointed to the flag on her pirate ship to the strange man on the shore.
"I know. The man stared at some tiny white particles on the beach on the shore with a thoughtful expression. He didn't pay attention to the pirates in front of him at all.
"Since you know we're pirates, why don't you run away?" asked Ah Jin, who had escaped, as he jumped up to Nuss's side and looked at the strange person in front of him.
"The people of this country are overwhelmed, and there is no money left for you to plunder, and it may be a good fate to die at your hands. The strange man's hand suddenly turned into tweezers, and he picked up a small white particle. Put it in your mouth. It's really salty!
"My name is Roger, and we are passing pirates. What are you doing here, how can your hands be like this?" asked Roger as he walked over.
"This is the desert country of Alabastan. I'm Carpenter, the cyborg who ate the mechanical fruit, and I'm doing research. Carpenter the Strange stood up as he spoke. His hands turned into shovels, dug a pit on the shore and led some of the seawater into it.
"Can you know what you're doing? Carpenter. Bit also walked up and asked curiously. His actions were obviously to dry salt.
"The sea is salty, and the salt in the sea is also salty, so as long as the salt is removed, the rest of the sea water will become fresh water. Carpenter briefly explained his research on the production of fresh water.
"Even in a desert country, there is no shortage of water to this extent. Don't you even have a freshwater river in your country? Even if you don't, you can dig a well. Reilly raised his own questions.
"Someone is coming. Before Carpenter could reply, Van Pickup warned behind the group.
Hearing Van Pickup's warning, Carpenter's brow furrowed even deeper because of Reilly's gang. "These bastards, why are they here again. He muttered to himself. But everybody heard.
At this time, Schalke jumped out of the water. He went and hid the boat in a more secluded place on the shore side. I've just come back now. "What's going on? he's ......"
Nuss whispered to Schalke about the conversation they had had with Carpenter. Carpenter, however, collected his thoughts and continued to stare at the puddle of water in front of him.
After a while, a man in a black suit with two teams of guards appeared in everyone's field of vision, and they walked straight to Carpenter.
Carpenter only then stood up, and he walked past Roger and the others to the comer. "Carter, what are you doing here?" Carpenter's tone was unceremonious.
"I'm going to take a look at your research. Carthus had an evil smile on his face. "By the way, clean up the coast, I heard from the nearby garrison that there have been some shameless guys littering the coast recently!"
After Carter finished speaking, the guards behind him rushed forward, past Carter and Carpenter, who were looking at each other, and also past Roger and the others behind Carpenter.
They walked to where Carpenter had just been, smashed all sorts of strange objects on the ground, and destroyed Carpenter's testing ground.
Carpenter just gritted his teeth and looked at Carter in front of him, and didn't make any moves. The other party occupies the name of the country, and now he may be waiting for him to do something and then arrest him.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you smashing his stuff!" Carpenter could keep his composure, but Roger couldn't. He can't just watch this Carthusian bully!
"I can smash whoever I want, but you, who are you?" what are you doing here!" Carter roared back without hesitation.
"We are ......"
"They were merchants on the great voyage, and they were shipwrecked here. Carpenter interrupted Roger with a sudden remark. He could see that this idiot was talking with no brains.
"It turned out to be a victim who didn't even get his clothes wet. Carter saw the flaw in Carpenter's words at a glance. But he didn't plan to dig deeper.
"Since you say they are the victims, if they break the law, you will also be unlucky. Carthus spun around as he spoke, and left with the man. "I wish you success, Carpenter. Hahaha!"
After watching the arrogant guy leave, Roger got angry. "Why don't you stop him from destroying your stuff, Carpenter!"
Carpenter shook his head. He was frustrated with Roger's IQ. "He wished I could stop him so he could send me to jail with all his name. ”
"I didn't expect that there would be such a master in your country, who is he?" a trace of excitement flashed in Bit's eyes.
It was the only person he had encountered on the Great Voyage other than the giants of the Little Garden who made him feel dangerous, and besides, he sensed the smell of a swordsman in this man. His swordsman's soul burned.
"His name is Carter, and he is the captain of the kingdom's guard. Usually he should stay in Albana, the royal capital, but he came to my experimental site yesterday for some reason and smashed it around. Here we go again today. Carpenter shook his head.
"Where is this, and how long does it take to get from the royal capital of Albana to here?" said Reilly, asking two questions.
"This is Al Maru, and it takes about two and a half days to get here from the royal capital. It's not clear why Reilly asked, but Carpenter answered him anyway.
"So he found out about you doing research here almost five days ago, aren't you researching the production of fresh water, why would he sabotage it?" Reilly continued. He seems to have found the reason why Carpenter studied freshwater.
"Because the country's freshwater resources are controlled by the king. Fresh water sources everywhere are guarded by the military, and anyone who wants to get water is charged a huge freshwater drinking tax. Carpenter was a little down.
"The people can't afford the heavy freshwater tax, so that's why I'm looking at switching from seawater to freshwater. Carpenter's eyes were filled with determination. "I'm going to keep researching no matter what!"
"Why don't you try to dig your own well? Nuss's face was full of doubt.
Carpenter turned his head to look at Nuss, his face expressionless. "Do you think they would not consider such a question? All those who dared to dig their own wells were executed by the king for stealing state property. ”
"What! Death!" exclaimed Nuss. She really couldn't imagine that such an evil guy could sit on the throne!
"Can you tell us more about that? Maybe I can help you. Nuss asked softly.
"yes, we're very strong. Roger looked at Carpenter with a confident glow on his face.
