Chapter 209: Mayflower

"Try the top three?" Lin Ruyi was not very confident and said.

Dididi, as I entered the password again, the girl's voice broadcast sounded again: "The password is incorrect!" ”

Not the coordinates of the latitude and longitude of the Golden Islands! So what could it be? I looked at Lin Ruyi and Uncle Wei, they were also frowning, I thought about it and said, "Will it be the day when we are shipwrecked?" ”

"It's possible, after all, the change in our perception of the world started on that day." Uncle Wei nodded and said.

I recalled the time of the shipwreck, and then entered the password again, and after entering, I looked at the closed iron door with anticrisy, but unfortunately the iron door was still indifferent, and the girl's announcement also rang: "The password is incorrect!" If the password is entered incorrectly, if the password is entered incorrectly, the Mayflower number will activate the access lock function! ”

Hearing the warning that I had entered the wrong word again, I complained with some annoyance: "Your uncle! Is it necessary for a cab entrance door to be so mysterious? ”

"The more mysterious it is, the more it shows that there is a secret hidden on this ship, but now we only have one last chance, and we have to think clearly before entering."

"Well, did you hear it say the ship is called the Mayflower?" Lin Ruyi asked me and Uncle Wei, but Uncle Wei and I were a little puzzled, what happened to the Mayflower? Does it mean anything?

Lin Ruyi tells us that in the sixteenth century, because of the great disagreement over the interpretation of the Bible and Christian doctrine, there was a Reformation in Christianity in Europe that led to the division of the church, and some of them insisted on living in full accordance with the principles of the Bible, advocating spiritual independence, believing that the king of England should not be the head of religion, and that religion should not serve any political rule, which is similar to the Protestant view of the world we live in today.

These Puritans, who insisted on religious independence, were called Puritans, and because the Puritans denied the status of the king of England as religious leaders, they were brutally suppressed and persecuted by Queen Elizabeth of England at that time, and because of this, a large number of Puritans in England were forced to go into exile in the Netherlands or go underground.

Later, William I, the founding father of the Netherlands, who led the independence of the Netherlands, felt deeply the evils of war and politics, and he suggested that people leave Europe and go to the New World of America, although the New World of America was still in a relatively barren state at that time, but the persecuted Puritans still resolutely dragged their families and left their homes to set foot in the Garden of Eden in their hearts, and they looked forward to building a new home without corruption and injustice on a new continent.

On September 6, 1620, 36 Puritans and 66 bankrupts, vagabonds, and 102 crew members, aboard a cargo ship named Mayflower, quietly left the port of Plymouth, England, including women and children.

The Mayflower itself is a three-masted wooden sailing ship, originally only used for offshore commercial trade, mainly between France and the United Kingdom, as well as Norway, Spain and other European countries, never sailed across the ocean, and the Mayflower's cabin is very crowded, everyone can get less than one square meter of space, some people are forced to sleep in the lifeboat, there is no toilet on the ship, the sanitary conditions can be said to be extremely bad, the ventilation of the whole cabin is very poor, the air is turbid, The smell of vomit and water seepage from the bottom of the boat was mixed and diffused.

In this extreme living condition, the Mayflower sailed to the other side of the ocean in a stormy sea, although all the people on board felt fear and anxiety in the process, suffered from disease and pain, and even had to face the death of some of their companions, but their hearts were full of yearning for a new world of freedom, and by their tenacious will and good luck, they finally reached the new continent of America.

More than 400 years have passed, and the descendants of the immigrants brought by the Mayflower are now as high as more than 35 million, accounting for almost one-ninth of the population of the United States, so in the eyes of Americans, the more than 100 people carried by the Mayflower are the source of the American nation.

Lin Ruyi told us a story with a sprinkled heart, although Uncle Wei and I felt fresh when we listened to it, but after listening to it we were still confused, I asked Lin Ruyi: "What does the Mayflower mean?" Is it to say that this ship is the ship of the former Americans? ”

Lin Ruyi shook her head and said, "I think the Mayflower represents a symbol, symbolizing the opening of a new world. ”

"Oh, I see, you mean the ship has seen this world change from the one we were familiar with, to the new world it is today?"

"That's right! Although it is unclear what kind of role the ship has taken on in the whole process, it is certain that it must have something to do with everything that happened in this world. So if we can get into this ship, we might be able to find some answers to our puzzles on board. ”

Seeing that the three of us had been communicating something, Leonard, who had retreated in the distance, couldn't help but come up too, and Leonard asked us, "Have you thought of a way to open this door?" If you really can't open it, forget it, anyway, there are so many merchant ships in this cave, and you don't have to worry about this one. ”

Lin Ruyi looked at me and Uncle Wei and said, "I'll try again, if it's still not right, we'll give up for the time being." With that, she walked over to the numeric keypad and typed in the day the Mayflower landed on the North American continent.

After Lin Ruyi entered the password, as soon as his hand left, the voice broadcast rang: "The password is correct, welcome to the Mayflower." At the same time, the closed iron door slowly opened, and the mysterious bow tower finally lifted the veil of mystery.

Seeing the iron door being opened, Lin Ruyi and I were very excited, it seems that it is useful to read more books, if we don't know that history, even if we scratch our heads, I am afraid we will not be able to think of the correct password, and Leonard and Joseph They are also very surprised, they can't imagine that we can open the iron door by a few numbers, and they also have deep doubts about the identity of our rum merchants.

After the iron door was opened, the bearded man clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, holding back his strength and about to rush inside, I quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive, I don't know if there are any mechanisms or anything like that." ”

Uncle Wei smiled and said, "Don't scare yourself, this is not the tomb of the ancient tomb, there can't be any mechanism in it, I'll go first and take a look." As he spoke, Uncle Wei walked in with a torch, followed by the bearded man.

Entering the bow tower, the entire first floor looks like a place for the crew to rest on duty in the wheelhouse, with a few bunk beds and cabinets, and a TV on the wall. Ascending the stairs to the second floor, this floor is the driver's control room, the console is densely covered with all kinds of colorful buttons, joysticks and other electronic devices, and in the middle of the whole room there is a huge world sand table, in which some of the main large island groups are located, and there are also displays of various sizes hanging on the wall.

I said to Lin Ruyi: "You and Uncle Wei stay here to see if these equipment will work, and I'll go to the third floor to have a look." ”

Lin Ruyi shook his head and said, "No, it's dark here, we can't act separately, we have to go together." ”
