Chapter III: The Sea Areas of China
I don't know if the biological force field is reliable, Liu Yun hurriedly packed up the bath sundries, and returned to his economy cabin at the maximum speed, the bathroom was full of steam, the sound of water was boiling, no one could see who clearly, there was a long queue outside the bathroom, and he was glad that he was early.
What about ants? I don't know when, the ant robot has turned into a ring, or a very peculiar ant shape, which is quietly circled on the index finger of Liu Yun's left hand.
The mail ship along the outer edge of the Chinese offshore arc, at a speed of 21 knots to Shanghai, Fujian waters have long passed, is expected to arrive at Ningbo Port in the early morning, the sun and the clouds to show a smile, the temperature in the cabin rises significantly, the people who sleep at noon also wake up in a sweat, some go to the bathroom to wash their faces, and some go directly to the deck to blow the sea breeze.
Ningbo Port is one of the earliest open ports, the concession gathered a large number of foreign expatriates, is also the last stop before arriving in Shanghai, the mail ship will stay there for 2 hours, in addition to some passengers and mail, will also make the necessary maintenance of the key parts of the mail ship, if there is no bad sea conditions, at 5 o'clock in the morning will set off again, straight to Shanghai port.
After taking a bath, Liu Yun went back to the economy class to change into clean clothes, shaved his beard in the bathroom by the way, combed his hair that had become very long, and didn't feel uncomfortable in the VIP area, so he went to the deck to take a walk and see the great scenery in 1934.
The sun had already set to the west, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, there was already a little cool feeling, and the freshly washed deck was not dry, but it was already full of people, Japanese, Americans, French, Germans (mostly Jews), South American Latins, needless to mention the Chinese, who were probably about to reach the terminal, and everyone was very interested in talking and laughing.
Seeing a few American adventurers who were about to go to the Shanghai Concession to be small compradors, and were flirting with two young and kind Latin women, Liu Yun couldn't help but think of Mark Twain's famous saying, saying that the biggest characteristic of Americans is that they become very humorous when they see women.
In the 21st century, the world knows that the quality of white people in Europe and the United States is high, Liu Yun looks at these high-quality people in the future, but there is a bit of a funny feeling, peels, pieces of paper, bottle stoppers and cigarette butts are all over the deck, and he can't help but feel that some things can't be taken too seriously, but some shortcomings are like living people.
As he walked farther and farther afield, he found that the mail ship was full of chaos, dirt and noise, a chaotic scene of the end of the world, as if it was the epitome of the current suffering of China.
Suddenly, a Japanese destroyer not far away came quickly, as the warship got closer and closer, the rising sun flag on it appeared unusually dazzling, making people feel red like blood, red dazzling, soon the two ships passed by mistake, a piercing whistle sounded, and then arrogantly moved away.
The flame of hatred alone can't sink a warship, and sometimes he has to bow his head, Liu Yun looked down and saw an ant on his index finger, this ant had scrapped a mail ship, so he had an idea and whispered in his heart, "Dick, are you there?" ”
"In-", a lazy female voice sounded in her heart, making people wonder if Zhi Nao had just finished taking a shower and was sleeping in the room.
"Dick", Liu Yun felt that he was a little flattering, "Can you embody ants again?" Just like last time".
"No", the brain also knew that the stakes were high, so he had to patiently explain, "A new brain nucleus can only manifest once when it binds to the host."
"Because the super energy stored in it is only enough to manifest once", Zhi Brain further explained, "So, please protect the ant robot until it grows up."
Trying to rely on the way of embodying ants to destroy Japanese warships, Liu Yun asked unwillingly, "If you want to destroy Japanese warships, what other way is there?" ”
"There are three kinds", Zhi Brain quickly replied, "First, you can use the biological force field to stealth, and you can definitely send a time bomb to the enemy ship, so as to blow it up, but the danger factor is extremely high, so it is not recommended to use it." ”
"Second, put the ant robot on the enemy ship, let the ants turn on the automatic mining mode, more than a year, less than a month, the enemy ship will sink, but the ants may sink forever at the bottom of the sea, becoming a one-time consumable, it is not recommended to use."
"Three, upgrade the ant level as soon as possible, once the level is reached, you can produce all kinds of super weapons, and any high-energy weapon can sink enemy ships."
Liu Yun had to casually ask, "How to upgrade and how much time will it take."
"As long as the ants continue to devour all kinds of rare metals, they will automatically upgrade, as long as the rare metals are sufficient, the evolution time will be greatly shortened, and it is expected that it will evolve to a level 100 mature body in 1000 hours, but every ten levels, it will take an opportunity to upgrade."
Liu Yun silently calculated in his heart, it was only about 40 days, during World War II, it took 1500 or 3000 hours to build a tank or plane, which is not too much, and he was not interested in the upgrade opportunity that Zhi Brain said, and it was only level 1 now, which was still early.
Liu Yun had no interest in going on, and on the way back to the cabin, he saw some Chinese students returning to China on the same boat, one or two of them also recognized him, and someone contacted him when he first got on the ship, especially when he heard that he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, and he was even more enthusiastic, and he always wanted to invite him to exchange experiences, and they seemed to have established a "student union" or something.
Due to someone's unbearable academic journey, as well as the inferiority mentality, he kept a transcendent distance from these high-achieving students, and then everyone faded, Liu Yun pinched his fingers, and it was a few days since the last time they met, so no one knew about this guy who had been sick for a few days, of course, Dr. Liu didn't blame them, after all, it was he who alienated these compatriots.
"Have you heard, the little emperor Puyi, who has ascended the throne as an emperor in the Northeast again", a tall and thin returnee, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, bowed his head and waist looked really funny, and was whispering to the people around him, "Recently, I want to meet the Showa Wa King as a minister, and he looks like a complete traitor, which is really disgusting."
Maybe because they are sailing off the coast of China, the returnees are no longer as afraid of things as before, their voices are indeed very low, so low that they almost don't shout loudly, and they stare defiantly not far away, Liu Yun looked in the direction and saw three or four men in kimonos, staring fiercely at this side.
"Low-key, low-key, how difficult the state affairs are", not everyone wants to cause trouble, a few frightened returnees, while peeking at the kimono man, tightly grabbed the thin and tall man, and quietly persuaded, "Brother Boyu, don't make trouble, Fuzhou Port has only passed, and the Fujian incident has been more than half a year, but Fuzhou is still in a depression, and everyone is talking about the change of military color."
It is said that he is a master of law from the University of Washington, his ancestral home is Hanzhong, Shaanxi, close to Guangyuan, an important town in northern Sichuan, and Liu Yun is half a fellow countryman.
"We have to believe that the Nanjing Nationalist Government, some time ago in the Central Daily, has published the good news, the Central Army has annihilated the main force of the Red Army, and it will be able to overcome the full success in a few days.
The person who spoke was called Yu Yaowen, with a pair of golden eyes, very bookish, simple and neat clothes, and orderly between his words, this person Liu Yun also knew, he was a doctor of economics from the University of California, and he was the last person he wanted to see.
"Central Daily", Zhang Boyu dismissed, "From 1930 to the present, according to the records above, from well-known generals of the Red Army to ordinary soldiers, they have been wiped out more than a dozen times, see which one did not die without a problem, Brother Yaowen, you should stop deceiving yourself."
"What do you know", Yu Yaowen spewed out his confidence from his nostrils, and pulled out a newspaper out of nowhere, "You all take a look, this is the newspaper I bought in Fuzhou."
Someone next to him was about to take a look, but Yu Yaowen took it away, waving a newspaper like truth, "Three months ago, the leaders of the Red Army, Baba, begged Mr. Song and Mr. He, demanding to stop the civil war, go north to resist Japan, and what else to do to resist the whole nation."
"Anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese, the poor and remote areas of Jiangxi, they want money but no money, they want artillery without artillery, it is said that they can't even eat, and they talk about anti-Japanese aggression, and they are not beaten miserably by the officers and soldiers who are commissioned, so they have to change their tricks to make peace."
Liu Yun didn't understand whether this Yu Yaowen was a doctor of economics or a doctor of military science, looking at this high-spirited posture, he was really a little angry at the book.
Several returnees may have been really suppressed by Yu Yaowen, and watched the truth report together, and one of them was still reading it while reading, and the general content of it was really similar to the previous statement, and for a while, his eyebrows flew and danced, and there was a tendency to blow up Tokyo, and his voice couldn't help but get louder and louder.
Liu Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of ominousness in his heart, and he couldn't help but stop his approaching steps, don't look at these returnees with high academic qualifications, but their knowledge is not good, Fuzhou's local newspapers are not as good as the Central Daily, since even the Central Daily is unreliable, it is too stupid to believe in Fuzhou newspapers.
But everyone has come here, and it is unreasonable not to say hello and socialize, Liu Yun decided to say hello before leaving, so he accelerated his pace.
"Eight Geya Road", several kimono men really wanted to make trouble, rampage like wild boars, frightened the crowd along the way to dodge, including many Japanese women and children, but fiercely reprimanded, "You Chinese people, the quality is too low, you actually gather in public places to make noise, no, understand?" ”
The momentum of the returnees has been greatly reduced, and the courage that has just been aroused by Pravda has been extinguished by the arrogance of the kimono man, Zhang Boyu is worthy of a master's degree in law, although his body is a little shaking, he still fights bravely with an unchanged face, "This is the territorial waters of China, and we Chinese people have the right to speak."
"Eight grids", the kimono man decided to give these Chinese people a little color to see, so that they could learn how to bow their heads, and one of the gray kimono men reached out and slapped Zhang Boyu's face.
grabbed the hand of the man in gray clothes, although Liu Yun smiled silently, he looked at the other three men in kimono vigilantly, and at the same time his left foot stretched forward slightly, and his right foot was secretly animalistic, ready to fight back at any time.
The man in gray couldn't pull it for a while, and the other men in the kimono suddenly turned red, and secretly pulled out the forked rib short blade hidden in the kimono, ready to poke a few holes for Liu Yun.
The surrounding Chinese people are aware that something is wrong, at this time, only close together, can foreigners not dare to start easily, seeing the Chinese people gradually surrounding, the kimono men are also a little cramped and uneasy, and the previous arrogance suddenly plummeted.
