Dolly became even more proud of Holden's praise. With her wings akimbo, she exclaimed, "The natural selection of things! The natural selection of things!"

Including Qiao Ann, everyone was amused by this clever parrot, and the exhaustion during the journey was also dispersed by the happy mood.

After Dolly had eaten a large piece of candy, she was clamoring with thirsty and asked for water, so Qiao Ann took out the "endless water bag" and poured it into a cup for her to drink.

Holden was watching the parrot drinking from the side, suddenly on a whim, and smilingly asked: "Dolly! Dolly!"

The parrot glared at him angrily: "Learn the human spirit! Learn the human spirit!"

"Dolly, I have a problem for you. Only smart birds can answer it."

"You say! You say!" Dolly came to the spirit.

"If the cup in front of you at the moment is not a wide-mouthed bottle, but a ampule, with a neck longer than your mouth and thinner than your head, what do you have to do to drink the water in the bottle?"

Holden asked the parrot seriously.

Dolly showed a speechless expression when she heard it, as if she was saying-is this a problem?

"Dolly, don't delay, if you are really smart, tell me the correct answer!" Holden urged.

The parrot rolled his eyes in disdain, flapped its wings and flew into the grass on the side of the road, and soon flew back, with a slender reed in its mouth, and threw it in front of the poet.

"Straw! Straw!"

Holden scratched his head wryly, only to admit that Dolly had given the correct answer-although it was not the answer he was expecting.

After resting for a while, everyone continued on their way, and walked out for more than half an hour. The woodland in front of them gradually became sparse, and a blue lake appeared on the open grass.

Captain Odysseus stood by the lake, looked around, with a confused look on his face, and turned to Hailar, "Miss, have you noticed that the atmosphere on the island seems a bit wrong..."

Hailar nodded and replied in a low voice: "We walked all the way from the pier, and didn't even meet a passerby on the way, and there was no one on the lake. This is very abnormal."

Perceiving the puzzled sight of his companion, Hailar turned and explained to Qiao'an and Zion's sister and brother: "Xiangren Island is not an unnamed deserted island. As one of the famous holiday spots on the east coast, it is the peak tourist season. The island should There are many tourists, but the reality is unusually deserted. Since we went to the island, we have not seen tourists or businessmen, and even the local elephant people have never seen one. This is very abnormal."

Qiao An nodded and said cautiously: "If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong. Let's seize the time to collect fresh water, and wait for me to cast a spell to investigate the situation on the island to see what happened."

Perhaps because of a premonition of danger, Hailar lost a smile on his face, urging the crew to go to the lake to fetch water.

The fresh water collected this time is mainly used to supply the steam boiler, and ordinary buckets can't hold it.

Captain Odysseus and the two sailors around him, Gulliver and Robinson, were carrying a large amount of equipment for drawing water.

Captain Odysseus unloaded the backpack and took out a barrel-shaped metal can. On the surface, the volume was only half a beer barrel. In fact, it was enchanted with the 3-ring "shrinking technique", which looked like a metal water tower after zooming in. Enough steam boiler plus one month's consumption for all crew.

Gulliver and Robinson also opened their backpacks and took out a small steam pump and a large bundle of hoses.

The main device of the steam water pump is actually a single-cylinder steam engine driven by the magic crystal. After the magic crystal circuit is connected, the heat energy released by the magic crystal makes the sealed water cylinder boil, and the generated steam drives the axle, and then drives the piston through the crank and rocker. Reciprocating motion provides power for the water pump.

One end of the magic water pump sprays white steam, and the other end is connected to a hose, using air pressure to pump water from the lake and inject it into the water storage tank.

Qiao An was very curious about the soft leather tube used by the water pump, so he walked up to observe it carefully.

At first he thought it was a hose made of natural rubber, but after careful observation, he discovered that it was leather.

The production of natural rubber is scarce, especially in the cold north.

Qiao An remembers that in his hometown of Alfheim, rubber water pipes are rare, and metal pipes, such as copper pipes, are more commonly used, which are heavy and difficult to bend and are very inconvenient to use.

When traveling in the Far East of the Old World last year, Qiao An also saw locals use magic steam pumps in Baiougang and Gudi Village. The matching pipes are made of alchemical compounds of astrology and hemp yarn, which have better performance than natural rubber. it is good.

However, astral materials are actually more difficult to obtain than rubber. Far Easterners can widely use astrological materials in the industrial field because they have an enclave in the star realm. Through the "Silver Sky Free Trade Port", a large amount of astrological materials can be obtained at a low cost. Other countries and regions are not so good. Under the conditions, other materials can only be used to replace the astrology and rubber.

For example, the hose that Qiao An saw in front of his eyes is actually made of scraps from the leather factory. Leather fragments, cloth ends, cotton yarn and other unknown fibers are all mixed together to perform "supernatural skills" and can be processed into hose.

The performance of the hose manufactured in this way is not as good as that of a star or rubber hose, and the cost of casting is not low, but it is always more practical than a copper tube, and it is a good substitute on the whole.

A small hose can be described as the epitome of the industrial level of the North of the New World. Using it as a reference, it is not difficult for Qiao An to understand why the industrial level of the North of the New World is much higher than that of the traditional agricultural area of ​​the South, but it is also used by the Far East The Kingdom of Kolas, which has rapidly risen in the region in recent years, has overtaken and left behind.

Qiao An stood in front of the roaring water pump in a daze. After an unknown period of time, there was a sudden call for help in the distance.

Qiao An suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly shot two protective spells on himself, and then turned into the form of a bee, rushing to the first place where the call for help was heard before Hailar and others.

Converging the bee wings and landing on the grass by the lake, Qiao An saw the sailor named Gulliver sitting on the ground with a pale face, as if he had just been severely frightened, so he walked over and patted his shoulder again.

"Mr. Gulliver, what's going on here, why are Robinson and Sinbad missing?"

"Uh, Master Master!" Gulliver gave a rousing shot, and finally came to his senses, and said eagerly: "Master Master, you are here at the right time! Find a way to save Robinson and Sinbad. They were just caught by the water monsters. Captured!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Gulliver, calm down and speak slowly." Qiao An calmed down the frightened sailor. "What kind of monster is it that took Robinson and Sinbad? ?"
