Chapter 388: The First Experience of Extreme Cold

This new type of armor called paper armor is only slightly stronger than the cloth clothes worn by sailors every day, and the stray arrows on the battlefield cannot directly penetrate the armor pieces made of dozens of layers of sea driftwood paper, and the defense effect is nothing more.

Paper armor with a width of two fingers is attached to the cotton jacket-shaped silk backing, and the outermost layer is covered with a layer of silk, and the paper armor of officers who are slightly more particular about workmanship and materials will be inlaid with a whole piece of lacquered leather armor and a small number of metal armor pieces in the cuirass, which is only better in terms of appearance, and the actual defensive performance is almost the same. For the armor that rarely comes in handy in naval battles, this kind of defense is already very considerable, and if you really insist on wearing all-steel plate armor, or metal chain mail, it will hinder the action, not to mention, once you fall into the sea, it will be completely hopeless, and if you consider the comprehensive performance, you can't match the paper armor to make people feel at ease!

"Hey, didn't you hear what Your Majesty said? Put on all your paper armor, and the bastards who are not afraid of death jump down on their own early, so as not to involve the others. ”

With the exception of a few sailors who worked in the bilge, they were not required to wear paper armor, and were in full gear with the assistance of their companions during the upper deck, the main deck, and members of the Marine Corps. Although the large, fat, and ill-fitting paper armor is indeed inconvenient, it is not a small inconvenience when I think back to those companions who fell from the deck not long ago.

"Everyone's eyes widened for me to look at carefully, and if I found anything unusual, I immediately reported it."

Hearing the captain's vicious order, the sailors replied weakly:

"Yes, sir!"

The natural lighting conditions in the Sea of Death are extremely poor, and even the best eyesight can see clearly objects the size of a basketball from a hundred meters away, and looking for unknown clues in such a place is essentially no different from wandering around in a small dark room in the middle of the night with your eyes closed.

The captain knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the problem was that if he wanted to leave this ghost place, he had to nod his head from His Majesty, so he simply came over to help Luo Zhengdao with advice, pointed to a mark on the treasure map and said:

"陛xià, what does this symbol mean?"

Luo Zhengdao raised his eyes and scanned the dimly lit Aether Sea outside, sighed and said:

"I don't know, like some kind of hint."

Indeed, this circular pattern that resembles the sun, with radial lines around it, just call a child to see it, it is estimated that the answer is inseparable from the sun, but Luo Zhengdao doesn't think things will be so simple.

Symbols and ciphers have been twins since the beginning, and generalized symbols are themselves an excellent means of encrypting information. Similar to the ancient texts of the Old World, many of the contents are written in symbols and hidden words, especially esoteric knowledge such as Western alchemy and Eastern Taoist alchemy. Those who like yy to travel to the ancient cave to pick up secrets, once become a master to kill the Quartet of the little whites can rest, not to mention the relatively popular secret knowledge is written in hidden language, the core part is just in case, simply do not set up words, all by oral transmission.

To put it mildly, if you don't have the guidance of the master to guide you into the door, it is not surprising that you just read the secret tips and practice by yourself, and practice one to die. Mei Chaofeng is still a disciple taught by a famous teacher, and he is blind like a profound secret book, and he is stunned to practice the Nine Yin Divine Claw into the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, which is a good example.

If those conceited and smart guys don't want to apprentice, they have to make a car at home behind closed doors and gnaw on the secrets, if they can't practice anything famous, then they can be regarded as dog luck, really touching the doorway, and turning back is not to practice themselves to death, then they must be disabled.

"There are twelve ...... in these lines"

In the old world, there was a saying that numbers were God's tools for creation, and if we didn't say whether it would be too Western-centric, if we wanted to analyze the laws of the universe and didn't apply them to mathematical tools, it would only be empty philosophical talk with no practical meaning. Only mathematical formulas can tell mortals exactly what conditions the world will undergo incredible changes, such as the most famous mass-energy equation E=mc05, which opened the door to the era of nuclear energy for mankind, and directly released the mushroom bomb, a murderous weapon of destruction from the cosmic cage.

Hearing the captain's words, Luo Zhengdao was suddenly touched, he turned over the treasure map and looked at it several times, and commanded:

"Someone, bring a torch."

At this time, the translucent parchment was illuminated by the flickering fire light projected from the back, and there was a slight change in light and shade, and Luo Zhengdao, who was wide-eyed, looked at it intently for a while, and finally saw what he was looking forward to, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he put down his raised arms, beckoned his subordinates and said:

"You guys come here."

"Majesty!"

Luo Zhengdao, who was in his chest, said in a very firm tone:

"Clockwise...... Alas, forget it, go in the direction I pointed. ”

"Yes, His Majesty the King."

"Raise the sails!"

"Hula ......"

Under the wind of Mana, the Yangwei, with only its upper sails hoisted, moved at a brisk pace that did not match its huge hull carrying thousands of people, and under the command of Luo Zhengdao, the battleship began to sail forward in an imaginary arc.

The unsure captain watched the battleship speeding up, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty, what are we looking for?"

"Don't talk, keep going."

Usually, Luo Zhengdao doesn't pull his face down, he is a very good talker, and he is more for others to see. No way, this is the cultural imprint laid by the old world, not a reborn ideological transformation, and it is difficult for a person to remove these imprints from his bones.

Modern society emphasizes the concept that all people are created equal, which has become an important part of maintaining social justice and justice, and no matter what color the banner is waving, absolutely no one dares to openly jump out and deny the correctness of this concept. Although everyone also knows that many things can't be mentioned under the table at all, only the pair of stone lions poked at the door of the building are innocent, but at least on the bright side, no one dares to fight against this kind of right thing in politics. Even those lucky people with golden spoons who are rich and noble N generations, first of all, they have to show that they respect these ideas in order to make a name, similar to the kind of 213 who shouts "Who are you talking for", my father is a fool, and it is not enough to be a village cadre at this level!

Seeing that His Majesty the King had a seven-figure gambling debt with others, and was about to jump off the building to settle the bill, and no one who had the eyesight to see it could taste some taste, the captain touched his nose and walked away, he felt that he still knew a little better, and it was better to flash to the side and cool off.

"Oh, is this the aurora?"

The Old World aurora is generally believed to be a natural phenomenon formed near the polar regions after the collision of the solar wind and the geomagnetic field, and there are also non-mainstream views that the cause of the aurora has nothing to do with the sun and is a form of geocentric energy release. Considering that before the earthquake, there were occasional phenomena such as abnormal ground light, and it would be a bit arbitrary to say that this view is nonsense.

At this time, the aurora that appeared near the Yangwei was like a veil, so close that it seemed to be within reach, and the eyes were full of mysterious, fantastical lines and colors that even the greatest painter could not have made in such a variety of colors in the palette. The spectacle was magnificent to the extreme, revealing a mysterious aura in the psychedelic haze, and witnessing this dreamlike dream made the explorers feel a sense of fear in a cold sweat on their backs.

It is important to know that the danger of things in the world is often directly related to the cause and effect of whether they are eye-catching or not, just as those brightly colored snakes will be more poisonous, behind the beauty created by nature, most of the time there is a strong murderous motive that makes people shudder.

"It's the smell of flowers! This is the taste of purple chrysanthemum from my hometown. ”

"No, it's meaty, it's barbecue."

"What are you talking about, this is the orchid scent that only the finest Ambon incense can have."

"Stop arguing, it's an illusion."

Suddenly interrupted and startled his subordinates, Luo Zhengdao said so firmly, it was because he had just smelled the home-cooked food made by his mother in the past. He was not mistaken, though he did not have the quirky tongue and nose of a gourmet, and since it could not be true, it was natural that there was only one truth left after all other possibilities.

Luo Zhengdao, who was still unsatisfied, did not stop, and continued to shout:

"Everybody wears filter masks, and those who don't have masks soak their clothes with water to cover their mouths and noses."

Hallucinations are not only limited to sight and hearing, smell and taste are the same, but it is more difficult to create tactile illusions.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something over there."

"Let's get closer."

Luo Zhengdao said easily, hearing this order, the sailors were frightened with cold hands and feet, and they hurriedly dissuaded and said:

"No! Majesty, any further will fall. ”

Although Luo Zhengdao didn't think that this was a suicide path, he had to consider the feelings of others, so he paused for a moment and added:

“…… Try to get as close as possible. ”

"Yes!"

"Right hand drive five!"

"Turn five, hit the right rudder!"

As the battleship approached the area of thin particles, the wooden hull creaked strangely, and immediately after that, the starboard side of the Yangwei tilted fifteen degrees, and the people on the deck were already unstable, and the sailors shouted loudly to fix themselves to a certain part of the hull. Although the sea driftwood paper armor worn on their bodies can keep them at sea level after falling into the sea and not fall into the unfathomable deep sea interface, it is uncertain whether the Yangwei will have time to send a sampan to rescue them.

At this critical juncture, the captain stood up, raised his arms and shouted:

"Don't panic, everyone, the sailors stay at their posts, and we will let the ship sail with the aether undercurrent."

In fact, the Yangwei, leaning on the edge of the Cavernous Cavern, had begun to slowly spin in circles, and the battleship was gradually moving downward under the impetus of the Aether undercurrent. The feeling of being able to plunge headlong into the bottomless abyss at any moment was so bad that even the brave and fearless warriors on the battlefield couldn't help but be terrified, their upper and lower teeth began to fight, and they made a penetrating gurgling sound, after all, this is a terrifying natural force that cannot be resisted by man, and the powerlessness of this fate is not in their own hands, and even more embarrassing than the danger to their lives that may come at any time.
