It was dark and dreary outside the porthole, making it difficult to tell whether it was the sea or the dark clouds, only the screeching of the wind penetrated through the cracks in the window, and everything around was trembling up and down, left and right, making all kinds of small objects collide with each other and make a crumbling sound, correspondingly, there was the persistent "squeak" moan from the originally seemingly solid and heavy bulkhead, which made people panic, as if it would be broken in the next second.

Every now and then, a tremendous force would suddenly appear, pushing the person to the other side with the accompanying acceleration, and the sharp tilt of the floor would exacerbate the tendency, making Xiao Ya have to rock towards the bulkhead to stop, but still trying to get up and fight against the bad weather and the three pale children, who were covered in cold sweat and vomited into the dark, and the culprit who caused their symptoms, that is, seasickness......

In fact, not long after boarding the "Aleplix" and leaving Gaya Island, Xiao Ya and the four began to go from dizziness, nausea, fatigue and drowsiness, to paleness, cold sweat, and finally the happy head to vomit, none of them were missing, and they continued to sing, but fortunately, he, an adult, had relatively mild symptoms, and he was finally able to insist on taking care of the other three small ones, so as not to be wiped out.

Despite this, it also made him depressed, and he didn't have this reaction when he was on the "Proverbs" before, even if he also encountered strong winds and rains, otherwise, I'm afraid, he would have been finished long ago......

Fortunately, after surviving this storm, I don't know if the body has adapted to life at sea, or if the "threshold" of seasickness has been raised through "exercise", the three little guys finally stopped, so that Xiao Ya can also be relieved, he has not even eaten seriously in those days.

Of course, the torment of the past few days is not all bad news, Xiao Ya, who was finally able to relax, left the room boldly and confidently, so as to observe all aspects of sea life in this world up close, so as to obtain more information, and, because of the nature of the pirates, the aspects that can be involved are extraordinarily rich, for example, it is probably not easy to find so many artillery pieces on ordinary civilian ships.

After a few days of investigation, Xiao Ya gained a lot, after all, compared to the Magic Valley Town, which has become a ruin, there are not only more physical objects to observe and study on "Aleplix", but also many living people to communicate, as for the result, it is to make him sigh at the great difference between the development of civilizations in different worlds, as well as the magic of science and technology, although considering the influence of cultural background, natural environment and world rules, there must be differences in the order and speed of scientific and technological development in different worlds, but he really can't imagine it, How a world in the age of sails and smoothbore guns came up with products like refrigerators and cokes.

You know, the former, of course, is not a "refrigerator" in the literal sense, but a mechanical device that can refrigerate itself, even if it is not clear whether it is also based on the laws of thermodynamics to produce a cooling effect, but at least from the appearance and structure of the representative has a good metal processing capacity and mechanical level; The latter requires a series of technical support such as food processing, chemical preservative, airtight pressurization and glass manufacturing, and it is impossible to achieve a level that can be used daily, which is impossible to achieve without considerable industrial and scientific and technological support.

In comparison, what he could find was lackluster in terms of weapons and equipment that was most needed in a world full of pirates, who were still generally equipped with spherical bullets, smoothbore, and non-fixed breech loading, which was worse than the level of the American Civil War in the nineteenth century on Earth, which was nearly a hundred years different from the technology displayed by the refrigerator and Coke in front of them!

It is not that the scientific and technological development of different worlds must be consistent, because even on the earth, there are many differences between different civilizations in the development of science and technology, such as until the discovery of the New World by Europeans, South America was still in the Stone Age, basically no metal processing capabilities, and naturally it was impossible to produce swords of the same era, let alone muskets and cannons.

But the situation in this world is not the same, because it is an extreme imbalance between practical application and technical level, in Xiao Ya's view, science and technology often have a system of inheritance and diffusion between disciplines, the emergence of a new technology will continue to be applied to the fields it can influence, for example, with metal, people are not only used to make swords, but also to make tools with it; With gunpowder, in addition to processing fireworks, it will also be used to produce muskets; And continue to develop and improve, upgrade, research artillery, rifles, machine guns, and so on.

Here, however, the situation is different, and the different technologies are relatively isolated, if not completely influential, and in the case of the American Indians, it is about the same as these guys who live in a steel house and use iron bowls and steel basins, but still fight with "maquawit" made of turtle dung or gum and many obsidian blades fixed in wooden troughs...... I really don't know what the minds of people in this world think, but fortunately, these are not Xiao Ya's business, he himself is still a bare pole now, oh, not counting those three little guys don't need to think about these issues related to scientific progress and social development, so just be happy with you.

Moreover, perhaps because of the lack of breakthroughs in technological development, he can only drill the horns of the existing technology, so Xiao Ya also found something very interesting, just like he is now holding this "new weapon in the South China Sea, a revolver 44 caliber 6 repeating pistol", oh, the name alone has already made him very interested.

44 caliber, he has heard similar sayings before, like what 50, 45, 30, but that refers to the abbreviation of inches, and often has a "." in front, so it is read as "point 50", "point 45", "point 30", "point 38", of course, there are also direct omitted direct reading numbers, and when changed to the metric system, they are about 12.7 mm, 11.43 mm, and 7.62 mm, and some people who don't understand these situations will be mistaken, and what 50 mm machine guns will be made. "Superweapons" like 45mm pistols, though, what does 44 caliber mean here?

Although I don't know the specific proportion, from many situations, in the world of One Piece, it is basically in the metric system, for example, the description of the sky island, "It is the white sea that exists above 10,000 meters", and the Magnetic Drum Mountain also claims to be "5,000 meters above sea level", so what is this 44 caliber? Could it be that the prestige of my empire is enough to cross dimensions?

PS: What the hell, although I've encountered lost manuscripts before, but that's all document saving errors, this time it's good, just the whole document is gone!
