Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Uncle Ming was picky and unambiguous when it came to choosing a boat. After all, his family and life would be tied to this boat after going to sea. Finally, "Baiwu" finally understood: "Those who go to sea need to have big names." Action? I think you are not like ordinary people who come here to fish for young people. Ordinary boats simply cannot meet your requirements. To be honest, there is an old boat deep in this water cave. It was the British expedition team back then. It was refitted, but the British all died inexplicably before they could go to sea. Their ship is still there today. That ship... I really don’t know how to describe it. I can only say it is evil enough."

I heard "Bai Wu" say it was strange. I don't know why he used the word "evil" to describe the ship. But if you want to do extraordinary things, you have to make extraordinary choices. Maybe the ship was modified by the British salvage team. It suited my needs, so I decided to go with him to watch. Anyway, we were not going to see the real Buddha or burn incense. If we didn’t have a suitable ship, we would rather postpone our trip to sea than buy an old horse with a broken saddle and just spend the day together. One day is enough.

Deep in the water cave under the sea cliff of the Coral Temple, there is a turn, and the cliff above the head is split from it. In the open air, in the shadow where the light cannot reach, there is a strange wooden boat moored. The shape of this boat is very ancient. Among the working boats, it is only a small boat in size and can carry about ten people. The hull is mainly made of wooden structure, dark and shimmering. All the rivets are embedded in the wood and sealed with wooden wedges. The selected material is mixed with a part of sea willow, which is a tree that grows on the seabed. It will not deform when exposed to moisture or heat, and it can withstand corrosion and last for a long time. It is very strong and can withstand the test and baptism of the stormy waves on the sea. .

The material sea willow alone is very rare. Although it looks like a willow tree, it is actually a motionless marine creature that took tens of thousands of years to take shape. Every inch is a treasure. Because it is on the verge of extinction, in modern times It is rare to see it. There is a relatively superstitious saying along the coast that if sea willow is used on important components of the hull, it will be blessed by the water god.

The style of this ship is ancient. It seems to have a history of hundreds of years. Judging from the style, this old ship can be put into a museum. But why does it look like it was just built? Many places have been modified, so the hull Everything looks very uncoordinated, and there are many equipment on the ship that we have never seen before, which is indeed a bit evil.

"Baiwu" gave us a detailed introduction. Pirate activities were rampant in this area decades ago. This ship was the clipper used by the pirates. Later, the nearby pirates were gradually wiped out, and this clipper was It was hidden in this water hole and was discovered by fishermen and converted into a fishing boat, so the boat was equipped with fishing nets, fishing cannons, and fishing guns.

Later, people from the British Tanton Salvage Company wanted to go into the Coral Spiral to fish for green heads, but it was not that easy to get to that area. The big ship was easy to hit the rocks in the Coral Spiral, and they couldn't install too many electronic devices on the ship, so they took a fancy to it. After more than half a year of modification, the sea willow ship is now covered with copper plate armor below the waterline. The original power part was removed. For the sake of safety, it was modified into four sets of spirals that can switch between steam coal-fired and motor power. It is propelled by oars and is maneuverable when sailing. There are lifeboats on both sides of the ship, as well as two medium-caliber Indian water god Jinpilu cannons, which can fire four different types of shells. The ship is equipped with a winch and fishing cannon, as well as various simple salvage methods. Equipment necessary for the job.

There are two huge oval copper balls hanging at the back of the ship. This thing is called a "diving bell". It is an airtight closed diving tool. People can be put into it and hung by chains to fall to the bottom of the sea to detect underwater conditions. Although This method is clumsy and primitive, but it has a better protective effect on divers on the dangerous seabed.

There are still some special British equipment in the cabin, including a British-made deep-sea rescuer, which is heavy-duty diving equipment and can dive to about 200 meters under the sea and weighs about 150 kilograms. It can ensure diving Personnel can safely complete tasks in high-pressure, low-temperature, hypoxic, and dark environments. The metal helmet is equipped with an observation window that can be connected to a rubber diving suit, and has an exhaust valve to maintain stable pressure and discharge respiratory tracts to the outside. Gas, this kind of equipment is still in the experimental stage so far. It is a trial type during the upgrading period. There is a certain risk factor when using it.

Even after such full preparations, the British group still did not dare to act easily, because the Coral Spiral is a sea of ​​hell haunted by ghosts and evil spirits. The wind and weather are messy. Once the boat approaches, it will lose its way, and There are hurricanes there all year round, and the sky rarely clears up. When the sky is clear, there are ever-changing mirages, which often lead ships astray. For the expedition team, all kinds of difficulties can be overcome, but they will lose their way on the vast sea. There is only boundless sea water, and one cannot recognize east, west, north, and south. One can only watch the sun, moon, and stars moving forward. If one cannot even see the sky, the ship will get lost sooner or later and will be unable to return.

Due to this insurmountable reason, the British salvage team finally gave up the plan. Just before they were about to return home, suddenly the whole crew died suddenly on the boat. The cause of death was very bizarre. Some superstitious fishermen said that the sea willow boat was too sinister. Heavy, too many people died on it, with resentful ghosts wrapped around their legs. After being in contact with this ghost ship for a long time, they were all killed by the ghosts on the ship. The specific circumstances of this incident cannot be explained clearly by "Breaking Arms" , he did not know the details. The current owner of this ship is the local native who helped with the modification work. If you are interested in this ship, "Baiwu" can help negotiate the price.

It turns out that this ship is a "ghost ship". Many people died on the ship. It looks unlucky. Moreover, "Baiwu" has limited knowledge of the reason and cannot explain it clearly. I have never believed in these unfounded things. I just have to keep a close eye on this matter, hoping to find an opportunity to find out the truth as much as possible. Although I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it doesn't exist, I can't just listen to the cries of the crickets and stop farming. Where are I now? Looking for a more suitable ship than the Hailiu Clipper?

Uncle Ming and I are very satisfied with this boat. We have an indescribable feeling. This boat is enough to break through the coral spiral. But "Bai Wu" added: "In so many years, I have never heard of anyone entering the coral spiral." Spiral, where sea ghosts appear and disappear, and undersea fires lurk and burn. It is definitely not a good place. If you listen to my good advice, you can give up such thoughts as soon as possible. But if you really want to enter that sea area, I think this is the only one. The willow boat can do the job, but only if there is a captain who can drive it into the coral spiral, but where can such an experienced old sea wolf be found?"
