"Your second part of the clue is as follows:

Sea coachmen who are good at earning gold coins, their carriages are narrow-headed and big-bellied, and they can know the next mission by touching the deck that has not yet been removed. ”

"Please ask the selector of the invincible uncle team to interpret the second part of the clue, and complete the requirements in the clue within 3 hours, when the requirements in the clue are completed, the selector team can get the next clue, if within the specified time, the selector team does not complete the clue requirements, will be punished by the whole team erasure.

Please note that while completing this lead, all selectors in the squad are still subject to the Space Confidentiality Regulations, and must comply with the Restrictions, which are specifically the 'Detective Entry' prohibition regulations. ”

Lao Wang heard the further explanation of the big brother of the space, and let go of his hand first, and now he is still on the street of Amsterdam, and the three of them are always hugging each other.

At present, the problem of location has been confirmed to have been successfully solved, and there are new puzzles ahead, and the sentences in it are in the clouds, but Lao Wang can't understand a word, and Mary and Takenaka must go into battle.

"Bamboo, Mary, have you seen it all? The second question is here, the time is 3 hours, I think we still have to pay attention to it, hurry up and analyze it, and see how we should decrypt it according to the clues. Lao Wang reminded the two universities in the team channel to ask humane, only to feel a tightness in his arm, Mary had already held him again, obviously from the excitement just now.

"Lao Wang, the information given in the clues is relatively clear, our previous speculation about the world of the next trial can now be basically determined, the sea coachman is the nickname of the Dutch in the middle and late Age of Maritime Geography Discovery, so I can basically determine that the background time of the trial world should be in the 16th or 17th century. Mary held Lao Wang, and then took Zhuzhong, it seems that there are many good wives and good mothers, and there are many good wives and good mothers, in fact, in the team channel, there should be no less analysis.

She doesn't call Captain Wang now, but instead calls Lao Wang, which is said to be what her Chinese colleagues taught her when she worked at Reuters, but when Lao Wang heard it, she always felt that she was called like this, and she always had a feeling of an old husband and wife living a life.

"Uncle, Miss Mary said yes, we have determined the background time of the world of trials, and when looking for clues, we can try to go to the places with the corresponding information, in this case, there should be more information in museums or libraries, and some situations that we don't know, such as the historical details of the Netherlands in the era of the great discovery of the sea, we can also find clues in these places. Takenaka's voice was also said in the team channel.

"That's the case, now you two are looking at these few sentences, can you have any general direction? I heard that people in these capitalist countries donate money to build libraries and museums if they have spare money, and if there are too many of them, we can't go to find them next to each other, right?" said Lao Wang.

"You're right, Amsterdam has one of the highest densities of museums in the world, and there's never enough time to find them one by one. Mary added.

"Uncle, Miss Mary, I have analyzed it, and the clues are mainly in the second and third sentences, and the carriage mentioned here should be a metaphorical statement, and the specific representative should be the means of transportation used by the Dutch to be called the coachmen of the sea. Takenaka frowned, thoughtful, and Mary hurriedly and quietly pulled the little guy to let the child behave normally.

"Is that a boat?" asked Lao Wang, he said very generally, no way, when it comes to the knowledge of navigation, he knows so much.

"It's not that simple, Lao Wang, in the 16th and 17th centuries, there were many kinds of sailing ships, for example, their number is no less than the current car brand, the Netherlands as a maritime power, but also all kinds of ships, you look at the second sentence, here there is a clear definite modification of the carriage, that is, 'narrow head and big belly', which means that it must be some kind of special ship, at least, to be accurate to a certain type. Mary corrected the old king's statement.

"Yes, they are good at earning gold coins, mainly talking about the strong maritime trade of the Netherlands, although they were also strong in the navy at that time, but as traders, they are more declaring that this carriage should be of the merchant ship type. Takenaka licked the ice cream, acting as normal as possible, and continued: "As for the phrase 'deck that has not been removed', I think it is the focus of locking on a specific ship, but I don't know what the meaning of these words is. ”

"It's nice to think about it. Lao Wang took over and said: "Then this kind of thing is also simple, let's act separately, Mary, you go to the library, find some Dutch folklore, or myths and legends, it must be related to the sea and the ship, the time period is what you said around the 16th and 17th centuries, you should be able to find something." ”

He turned his head to look at Takenaka and said, "I'll go to the museum with Bamboo, and then we'll each go get a map of Amsterdam, check the geographical distribution of these things, and what is going on directly on the team channel." ”

The three of them have decided on a plan and will immediately go their separate ways.

Lao Wang and Takenaka first chose the Dutch Maritime Museum, this museum located on the side of the canal harbor was once the arsenal of the Dutch Navy, belongs to the directional museum, in terms of scale, it is not the largest museum in Amsterdam, but it is very professional, the collection here is almost all the important items in the maritime history of the Netherlands and Amsterdam, if you want to fully understand the glory of the Dutch Maritime Age, here is definitely the best choice.

As soon as the two of them stood at the door of the museum, Mary had already written: "Lao Wang, Takenaka, I'm in place, the largest royal library in the Netherlands is in The Hague, and now I can't catch up, I retreat to the second, now in the historical area of the Amsterdam Public Library, how are you there?"

"It's okay, Takenaka and I are at the door of the Maritime Museum, on the retro ship outside the museum, we haven't found any specific clues about the 'narrow head and big belly', you continue to look for it, and then contact if there is any situation. Lao Wang replied in the team channel.

"Got it. Mary replied, and stopped talking, and began to swim in the ocean of knowledge.

Lao Wang and Takenaka did not delay any longer, bought tickets and blended in with a wave of tourists and walked towards the museum.

The collection of the Maritime Museum is dazzling, most of which are historical materials of Dutch navigation and colonization in the Golden Age, Lao Wang and Takenaka walked around and came to a sign, thanks to the language fusion function given by the space, Lao Wang, a person who has never been in contact with foreign languages, can easily understand the content on the sign.

"Bamboo, you look at this area. Afraid of disturbing Mary, Lao Wang did not speak in the team channel, but lowered his voice and whispered, while slanting the sign with his eyes.

Takenaka also noticed that the sign marked the exhibition area and the general route map of various types of collections, and the part that Lao Wang wanted him to pay attention to was an area to be precise - the ship components exhibition area.

The collection here is mainly the components of Dutch ocean-going merchant ships or military ships in the Golden Age, most of which are four or five hundred years old, such as the block of sails, the broken part of the anchor, the stern light, and even the entire steering wheel, are displayed and displayed here, and according to the claim of the Maritime Museum, these collections are all part of the real hull of the year without exception.

"Uncle mean, let's go find out if there's a deck removed from the ship, right?" asked Takenaka.

"That's right, let's go and see first, we can't tell if we can find any clues through the description of these artifacts, and besides, can't we also use this to find a guide." Lao Wang nodded and took out a hundred euros.

"Don't be in a hurry to start looking for a needle in a haystack, you two pay attention, I have a clue here, I think I know what a 'narrow head and big belly' is. Mary's voice came from the team's channel, her tone fluctuating slightly, as if she had noticed something.

"I just found a book in the library that describes the construction of Dutch merchant ships, so I'll listen to me and see if it can match what you have over there. Mary reminded Wang and Takenaka to pay attention, and then began to read: "In order to make as much profit as possible, the shrewd Dutchmen adopted a unique design on their merchant ships, which made the hull look like a rum bottle from a cross-sectional point of view, and the belly of such a ship was large, so that the hull was large and round, and the deck of the hull was small and narrow.

The reason for such a comical design is that when Dutch merchants were trading at sea in Scandinavia, they found that the amount of tax paid by the ship mainly depended on the width of the deck on the surface of the ship, and the narrower the deck, the smaller the default ship, the less money paid, so the small deck of this Dutch merchant ship and the large belly of the ship made the more profit from the voyage, to a large extent, it was by relying on this narrow-decked big-bellied merchant ship that the Dutch won the title of "sea coachman" known all over the world. Mary paused, gave Lao Wang and Takenaka enough time to react, and then said, "How is it, is there anything worth associating?"

Takenaka was also a little excited when he heard this: "Yes, now we are going to the ship components exhibition area, according to Miss Mary's clues, we only need to focus on the components that have appeared on the round-bellied Dutch merchant ship, combined with the third sentence, we can also narrow down the scope to the specific round-bellied merchant ship." ”

"Come on, boys, don't let me compare. Progress was made in cracking the clues, and Mary made a joke and continued to search for books.

Wang and Takenaka followed the map and went directly to the merchant ship section of the ship component area, and then asked a museum docent to smile warmly at a price of 500 euros, saying that he was very willing to accept all the questions about Dutch merchant ships from these two studious tourists.

"Hello sir, we are tourists from China, and we ask you to explain because we are very interested in the Age of Discoveries in the geography of the sea, especially the golden history of the sea coachmen dominating the sea, and we are particularly fascinated. In addition to paying generously, Lao Wang also behaved very politely, and wore a few words of high hat that raised the world status of the Dutch people, and the commentator felt that he had not only met the gold owner, but also met the bosom friend.

"Of course, of course, I am very willing to share this historical knowledge with more people, but I don't know what parts of the historical knowledge the two of you want to know?"

"Actually, my hobby is very special, I can't hide it, I know the history of the era of maritime geography discovery, but I am more interested in the legends and experiences of the good men of the sea, although they are not formal history, but I still find them fascinating. Lao Wang replied politely and without revealing flaws, and also used the words of Mengqi, a puppet sailor in the humiliating world, very humbly seeking advice.

The narrator immediately asked, "What do you want to hear?"

When Lao Wang heard that there was a door, he continued: "What about the maritime merchants of the Netherlands?

The narrator's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "This gentleman, as a traditional merchant country, the best legend is the story of our Dutch merchants!" The narrator cleared his throat and said in a somewhat eloquent manner: "Before the Golden Age, our Netherlands had a narrow territory and scarce resources, but because of the developed handicraft industry, commercial activities were particularly frequent, so we were actively engaged in foreign trade, and there were Dutch merchant ships on all oceans.

At that time, in order to compete with the British for a share of the maritime trade, the brave Dutch merchants risked their lives not to use armed merchant ships, and adopted timber manufacturing ships that were not very hard, which allowed us to obtain most of the market for maritime transportation at sea freight prices much lower than those of the British, and we in the Netherlands entered our own era of maritime commerce.

But can you become a king of the sea just by being cheap and brave? I don't think so.

In 1596 and 1598, a Dutch captain named Wilhelm Barents, with the financial support of the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce, commanded three merchant ships laden with European handicrafts to set off to find a faster route to Japan through the waters of the Arctic Ocean.

Unfortunately, the brave captain did not hand in good luck, his ship was wrecked by an ice floe on Novaya Zemlya, and out of desperation, he and his sailors had to spend the winter in the freezing Arctic Circle.

In the Arctic Circle, Captain Barents and 17 Dutch sailors spent eight long months of winter, and out of desperation, they removed the deck of the ship to fuel it in order to maintain their body temperature in the freezing cold of -40 degrees Celsius, and as for the energy they needed, they survived by hunting seals and walruses.

Eight people died in such a terrible situation, and in the end, they repaired two dinghyes on a merchant ship, escaped the Arctic Ocean in the summer, and finally met the Russians at the southern tip of Novaya Zemlya, and luckily rescued.

The Dutch merchants, however, did something unimaginable – they did not touch the goods entrusted to them by their employers, none of them, and among them were clothes and medicines that would have saved their lives in the bitter winter.

Eventually, Captain Wilhelm Barents died on the way back, but the surviving merchants were able to bring their goods back to their destination almost intact, and in exchange for their lives we Dutch rules of business, and because of their greatness, we Dutch have won the true supremacy of maritime trade with great credibility.

Some people say it's a rumor, but we in the Netherlands have always believed that the Netherlands is still the Netherlands because our ancestors took care of their business. The narrator seemed to be a little choked up when he said this.

Lao Wang and Takenaka were not sensationalized by him, but looked at each other with blazing eyes, and then told Mary about the situation in the team channel, it doesn't matter whether this so-called heroic story is true or not, just satisfy them with one thing, Captain William Barents warmed the deck that was removed, and burned out?
