Chapter 370: Ancient Shipbuilding Drawings

The "shipbuilding drawing" on the wall is made of a single yellowed animal skin, with irregular edges, and the paper is about ten square meters in size.

In the center of the drawing, an ancient wooden sailing ship is drawn in the middle of the space, and the blank space next to it is densely covered with large small characters. At the edge, a large tree is drawn that has been dissected and marked with the use of various parts, which looks like the source of materials for shipbuilding.

This is obviously a magic blueprint with a magical change.

Except for the large words of "Ship of Theseus" at the top, the design notes on the side are small characters that are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

But when you look at the paper, the handwriting is very clear.

It's like seeing a three-perspective structure diagram, and the more you look at a certain place, you will find that your gaze has really passed through. The drawing is not a flat ship, you can see through the deck, see the nails and rivets in the cabin, you can see every detail of the ship's design, and there are large pieces of text on some key technical points.

This is a very magical shipbuilding drawing.

The structure of this ship is unimaginably complex.

"This is"

Raymond felt a little familiar when he saw the name of this drawing, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he immediately realized: "Could it be that this is the ship of Theseus that Enzo said at the beginning?" ”

This is the second time I have come into contact with this term.

That's why he was so shocked when he saw this thing.

Raymond remembers very well that Enzo had told himself that his "second-generation vampire ancestral bloodline" had been obtained from a super-large ancient wooden ship.

Could it be the ship on the drawings?

"I'm afraid it's true"

Raymond's eyes trembled slightly, and he also felt that the coincidence was incredible.

When he saw this drawing, he thought about it carefully, but he was extremely frightened.

Enzo actually encountered a wooden ship from the ancient mythological period?!

How is it possible in this world that there is a wooden ship that has sailed for countless years and has not been damaged?

Could it be that you have traveled through a time and space tunnel?

One by one, questions popped up.

But the design drawings are in front of you, which means that the builders of the "Ship of Theseus" are most likely the group of dwarven craftsmen who were once active in this "dark dungeon"!

The period of the completion of the ship must also be the time of antiquity.

"How much wood would it cost to build a wooden ship like a careful continent? But on this drawing, it seems that all the wood marked is just from the same tree? ”

At this time, Raymond took a closer look at the drawings and suddenly thought of something: "Wouldn't this tree be the Heavenly God Tree?" Did the dwarves cut down the Babel Tree to build ships? ”

There is only a small part of the Runas script on the drawing, and more of it is the dwarf humanities of the ancient dwarven craftsman's notes.

Raymond also roughly guessed that the Runas script was equivalent to the "universal language" of ancient times, while the dwarven script was a minority script.

Half looking, half guessing, the meaning can be roughly understood.

He felt that his thoughts were probably still true, and the ancient dwarves cut down the "Heavenly God Tree" and used it to build a super huge "Ship of Theseus".

The sacred tree that is still alive today may have been cut down that year, leaving new seedlings that grew on the root pile.

What the specific facts are, there is no way to verify.

Raymond didn't think about it, he turned his eyes to read some of the things he could understand.

"This is a ship that can sail forever, can repair itself, and will not be damaged, and when the cataclysm comes, it will float on the sea for endless years until the world will be destroyed and the gods will fall"

There is a narrative on the drawing that looks like a "prophecy", and when it is read out by the gods, it is confusing.

The more Raymond looked at the words on the drawing, the more incredible he felt, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

Ancient dwarven craftsmen use dwarven narration mixed with a small amount of Runas script to record some of the beginnings of the ship's construction.

The more I look at it, the more confused I become,

After a while, he gave up the idea of figuring out the ancient secrets, and instead saw the "graffiti" like a "graffiti" route map drawn in the corner of the drawing?

"According to Enzo, his vampire bloodline was obtained on the ship. This means that there may be a first-generation vampire on this ship of Theseus? If you can read the route map, won't you know where the ship is now? ”

Thinking of this, Raymond's mind raced.

If you can find that "first-generation vampire", is it possible for you to advance to the second-generation ancestor bloodline?

He has coveted the second-generation bloodline of Enzo for a long time, and it is not only an immortal body in the true sense, but also a body that can "turn into a bat" like a natural devil fruit ability.

One million, overwhelming!

Moreover, this is the three-stage ultimate transformation of the vampire clan, which belongs to the physical transformation stream. Even if it's domineering, it's a super bull's life-saving skill!

"Is this really a route map?"

Raymond looked at the awkward line, and his head was as big as a bucket when he looked closely.

Because, he found that this route was not right at all!

According to the picture depicted on this picture, the ship not only walks on the sea, but also flies to the sky?

The voyage was so complicated that it seemed like a mass of threads mixed together, and it was impossible to figure it out.

Maybe it's not a chart, but some other "password"?

Or is it just the meaningless stuff that the dwarven craftsmen scribbled on back then?

"Captain, what are you looking at?"

While Raymond was pondering hard, Anna and the others were half-empty of the Book of Gold that had already been downstairs.

After making sure that there were no other treasures missing, they went upstairs.

In the same way, they saw this huge shipbuilding drawing at first sight, and their eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

Colin saw the design scale of the drawing, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, there really is a big wooden ship in this world?!" There's no structure that can support such a big ship."

Design drawings are such things that still need to be seen by mechanics more realistically.

Colin and Nicole saw this drawing and were instantly attracted to it. The two of them approached the drawing, and after just looking at it for a moment, they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Colin: "It's so subtle, the design of this ship is a part-time job, and it subverts my perception!" It doesn't even subvert the cognitive category of mainstream technology in the world! ”

Nicole: "yes, you look at the deck design, you look at the motivation mechanism, it's incredible that the keelwood boat can be designed like this." ”

“”

Just by looking at some rough drawings, Colin and the others felt as if they had been opened to a new world, allowing him to experience the wisdom of the real dwarven race in ancient times.

Colin: "Multiple rune structures? This ghost design, it's incredible, I actually saw such a wonderful design on a drawing! How did they do it, the runes designed on this ship are interlocking, overlapping each other, and they don't conflict, what kind of principle is it, how did the dwarven craftsmen put the drawings into practice?"

Nicole: "It turns out that the rune association theory is really able to form a new rune combination through a special structure between different runes, and the ancient dwarves are worthy of being a forger, and their research on runes is at least thousands of years beyond modern science."

“”

Colin and Nicole were fascinated, and they just stood in front of Tu, and you and I discussed it word by word, forgetting that there were others.

This drawing gave them a glimpse of the pinnacle of true ancient dwarven skills!

This ship is definitely not a "god-level wooden ship" that can be forged in the current world or even beyond the scope of human cognition!

The rest of the "Ghost Regiment" didn't bother the mechanic, and the fat cat and Solka didn't move the blueprints, just knocking around to see what else they had.

Anna, on the side, was attracted by the pattern on the corner of the drawing, which Raymond considered "graffiti".

Raymond looked at her preoccupied development, asked what was in his heart, and said, "Anna, is this a route map?" ”

Anna frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, "This does look like a nautical chart. ”

Raymond: "Like?" ”

"yes, I'm not sure."

Anna's beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist and doubt, and she said: "Because, this route map is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be fixed in one space, like threading a needle, or more appropriately, like a mille-feuille! ”

"Huh?"

Raymond listened confused, with a question mark on his face.

As we all know, all nautical charts in the world are floor plans.

A nautical chart is like a piece of paved sea, latitude and longitude are the coordinates, and two lines can determine an exact coordinate

But this picture is very strange, it is three-dimensional, in addition to the latitude and longitude coordinates, there is also a three-dimensional "space" coordinates, it has "three lines" to determine the exact location!

Anna roughly described her understanding of the pattern, and said: "The route on this map is like dozens of nautical charts overlapping each other, and there is a ship, after sailing on each chart for a while, and then drilling into the next nautical image, shuttling between different planes?" ”

She didn't know how to accurately describe the oddities of the route.

If there really is such a ship sailing according to this chart, then it is not just a simple flight to the sky, but it seems to have passed through one different world, different worlds, different spaces!

"Such a route is simply impossible to exist in reality, at least, it is beyond the scope of any navigation, even the scope of human cognition."

Anna shook her head.

She wanted to dig deeper, and the more she felt like looking up at the starry sky, a vast sense of mystery came to her face.

One by one, doubts like stars, drilled into my mind, and the more I looked, the more I looked

Raymond tried to ask, "If there's a ship sailing on that chart, can you be sure where it is now?" ”

"Can't! This is a special route map with the existence of the world and space, and it cannot be understood by common sense at all."

Anna was curious, but she felt that she was not enough.

She gave up the idea of figuring out the drawings at once, and said, "If you want to study this route thoroughly, it will probably be impossible in a short time. Moreover, it is necessary to refer to a large number of ancient documents to know what the coordinates marked on this chart mean."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Raymond pursed his lips and was slightly disappointed.

But he didn't bother with the drawings anymore.

This thing should be studied by professional people, and the captain of the ship should be the shopkeeper.

It would be better if you could get some clues.

If you can't get it, it doesn't seem to have much to lose.

At this point, he is in a very correct position.

After all, the world of great exploration has sealed too many broken civilizations and buried too many things with broken heads and tails. In the game, players are increasingly exploring, unearthing a large number of headless mysteries that cannot be solved at all.

If you really want to find out the source of every mystery, you can only get into a dead end and increase your troubles.

"Hey, if only I could read dwarven language. At least it's much easier to interpret the drawings."

"Yes, such a subtle design, many of which can be used on modern steam ships. If you can use those technologies to transform the Golden Ghost, it will definitely be very exciting."

“”

Not long after,

The Collins also gave up on any further study of the drawings, which was definitely a "lifetime" series.

Mechanics look at drawings, not just to see how the ancient dwarves designed them, they have to figure out the "principles" of those designs. It can be said that this design drawing of the "Ship of Theseus" is actually the pinnacle technical manual of the ancient dwarven shipbuilding skills.

This is a "god-level blueprint" that they need to spend a lot of time studying.

If they really understand the mysteries, they will master the dwarven shipbuilding skills that have been lost for countless years.

The library in this dungeon is obviously not a good place to study technology. The two Collins carefully plucked the drawings from the wall, rolled them up and put them in the package.

On the other hand, Raymond also successfully found the "golden key" placed in the dark grid.

Now, the three keys are all raised, and the treasure house on the third floor of the dungeon can be opened.

But this key, which was originally the most important purpose of his visit to the "Central Library", now that he holds it in his hand, it seems that he has lost that strong sense of anticipation.

The treasures in the secret room have far exceeded everyone's expectations, and their value is immeasurable.

This trip to the dungeon is a big profit no matter what.

The "Ghost Regiment" was banging around the room, trying to scrape everything they could take away from the chamber.

But at this moment, Colin suddenly sensed something and issued a warning: "Captain, the probe I left outside has responded that someone has entered the library!" ”

"Oh?"

Raymond was slightly surprised.

This library is one of the several core areas on the second floor of the dungeon, and it is surrounded by monsters that are very dense and dangerous.

The other possibility that can be explored so quickly, in addition to himself as a traverser who is familiar with the route, is that the strength of the person who came is extraordinary!

The people you encounter in this dungeon are more likely to be friends or foes.

Without waiting for Raimondo to think about it, the stranger who had broken into the strange was coming in the direction of the secret room at a very fast speed.

Apparently, they are coming for the "ghost group".

The first is the latest.
