The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

The material of the "Shipbuilding Diagram" on the wall looks like a piece of yellowed animal skin, with irregular edges. The paper is about twenty or thirty square meters in size.

An ancient wooden sailing ship is drawn in more than half of the space in the center of the drawing, and the blank space next to it is densely covered with large small letters. On the edge, a large tree is drawn with the purpose of each part analyzed and marked, which looks like shipbuilding.

source of materials.

This is obviously a magic drawing with magical changes.

Except for the large words "Ship of Theseus" at the top, the design notes on the side are all small words that are almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

However, when you look at the drawings with your eyes, the handwriting becomes extremely clear.

It's like seeing a 3D perspective structural drawing. The more you look at a certain place carefully, you will find that your eyes are really going through it. The drawing is not a flat ship. You can see through the deck and into the cabin.

Every detail of the ship's design can be clearly seen through each rivet. There are also large tracts of text explaining certain key technical points.

This is a very amazing shipbuilding drawing.

The structure of this ship is so complex that it is unimaginable.

...

"This is..."

When Raymond saw the name of the drawing, he felt a little familiar. As soon as his thoughts changed, he immediately realized: "Is it possible that this is the 'Ship of Theseus' that Boss Enzo was talking about?"

This is the second time I have come across this term.

That's why he was so shocked when he saw this thing.

Raymond remembered clearly that Enzo once told him that his "bloodline of the second-generation vampire ancestor" was obtained from a super large ancient wooden ship.

Could it be that this is the ship on the drawing?

"I'm afraid it's true..."

Raymond's eyes trembled slightly, and he also felt that the coincidence was incredible.

When he saw this drawing, he thought about it carefully, but was extremely frightened.

Boss Enzo actually encountered a... wooden ship from ancient mythology?!

How is it possible that there is a wooden ship in this world that has not been damaged after sailing for countless years?

Could it be that he traveled through a time and space tunnel?

Questions popped up one after another.

But the design drawings are right in front of you, which means that the builders of the "Ship of Theseus" are most likely the group of dwarf craftsmen who were once active in this "Dark Dungeon"!

The period when the ship was built must have been in ancient times.

"How much wood does it cost to build a wooden ship like that on the Caution Continent? But on this drawing, it seems that... all the wood comes from the same tree?"

At this time, Raymond looked at the drawing carefully and suddenly thought of something: "Isn't this tree the 'Sacred Tree of Babel'? In the past, the dwarves cut down the Sacred Tree of Babel to build ships?"

There is only a small part of Runas text on the drawing, and more of it is Dwarf text written by ancient dwarf craftsmen.

Raymond roughly guessed that the Runas script was equivalent to the "Universal Language" in ancient times, while the Dwarf script was a minority script.

Half-reading, half-guessing, I can roughly understand the meaning.

He felt that his idea was probably true. The ancient dwarves cut down the "Tree of Heaven" and used it to build a super huge "Ship of Theseus".

The sacred tree that exists now may have been the new seedlings that grew out of its roots after it was cut down.

It is impossible to verify what the specific facts are.

Raymond didn't think too much about it. He immediately started reading the part of the content that he could understand.

"This is a ship that can sail forever, can repair itself, and will not be damaged... When the 'catastrophe' comes, it will drift on the sea for endless years... until the world will be destroyed and the gods will fall.

..”

There is a narrative on the drawing that looks like a "prophecy", which is so evocative that it makes people confused.

The more Raymond looked at the words on the drawing, the more incredible he felt, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

The ancient dwarf craftsmen recorded some of the initial process of building the ship in Dwarf language mixed with a small amount of Runas script.

The more I look, the more confused I become,

After a while, he gave up the idea of ​​trying to figure out the ancient secret, and instead saw the "graffiti"-like...route map drawn in the corner of the drawing?

"According to Boss Enzo...his vampire bloodline was obtained on the ship. This means that there may be a first-generation vampire on this 'Ship of Theseus'? If you can understand the route map,

Wouldn’t it be possible to know where the ship is now?”

Thinking of this, Raymond's thoughts were racing.

If you can find the "first-generation vampire", is it possible for you to advance to the second-generation ancestor bloodline?

He has been coveting Enzo's second-generation bloodline for a long time. Not only is it truly immortal, it can also "turn into a bat" like a natural Devil Fruit user.

One million, overwhelming!

Moreover, this is the three-stage ultimate transformation of the vampire clan, which belongs to the physical transformation stream. Even if you are domineering, you can't help it, it is a super awesome life-saving skill!

"Is this really... a route map?"

Raymond looked at the awkwardly winding route, and his head was as big as a bucket if he looked closely.

Because, he discovered that...there was nothing right about this route!

According to this picture, this ship not only walks on the sea, but also flies into the sky and escapes from the earth?

The voyage was so complicated that it was like a ball of thread tangled together, and it was impossible to figure it out.

Maybe this is not a chart, but some other "code"?

Or is it simply a meaningless thing scrawled by the dwarf craftsmen back then?

.......

"Captain, what are you looking at?"

While Raymond was thinking hard, Anna and the others cleared the Golden Book downstairs.

After they made sure there were no other missing treasures, they went upstairs.

Likewise, when they first saw this huge shipbuilding blueprint, their eyes were drawn to it involuntarily.

Colin saw the design scale of the drawing and immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God...this...is there really a wooden ship as big as it can be in the world?! No structure can support such a big ship.

..”

Design drawings require a machinist to see them more clearly.

When Colin and Nicole saw this drawing, they were instantly attracted to it. They approached the drawing and just looked at it a little, and couldn't move their eyes away.

Colin: "It's so exquisite... The design of this ship has subverted my perception! No... it has even subverted the cognitive scope of the world's mainstream technology!"

Nicole: "Yeah... Look at its deck design, look at its engine mechanism, keel... It's incredible that a wooden ship can be designed like this."

"..."

Just after looking at some rough drawings, Colin and his wife felt as if a door to a new world had been opened to them, allowing them to experience the true wisdom of the dwarves in ancient times.

Colin: "Multiple rune structures? This genius design is simply unbelievable... Oh my god, I actually saw such an exquisite design on a drawing! How on earth did they do it... This ship

The designed runes are interlocking and overlap each other without conflicting... What is the principle... How do the dwarf craftsmen put the drawings into practice..."

Nicole: "It turns out that the 'rune correlation theory' is also true... It is really possible to form a new combination of runes through the special structure between different runes... The ancient dwarves are indeed a forging clan, and their expertise in runes

Research, at least thousands of years beyond modern science..."

"..."

Colin and Nicole were both fascinated. The young couple just stood in front of Tu, discussing each other word by word, forgetting that there were other people.

This drawing allowed them to see the pinnacle of the true ancient dwarf skills!

This ship is definitely not something that can be forged in today's world... It is even a "god-level wooden ship" that is beyond the scope of human cognition!

The other members of the "Ghost Group" didn't bother the young mechanic couple. Fat Mao and Solka didn't leave the drawings, and just knocked around, trying to see if there were any other mechanisms.

Anna on the side was attracted by the pattern on the corner of the drawing that Raymond considered to be "graffiti".

Raymond looked at her fascinated research and asked what he was thinking, "Anna, is this a route map?"

Anna frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "This... does look like a nautical chart."

Raymond: "Like?"

"Yeah, I'm not sure either."

Anna's beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of foggy doubts, and she added: "Because, this route map... is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be fixed in a space, like a thread... Oh, more appropriately, it is,

Like a layer cake!”

"ah?"

Raymond listened with confusion and a question mark on his face.

As we all know, all nautical charts in the world are plan views.

A nautical chart is like a paved sea surface. Longitude and latitude are coordinates. Two lines can determine an accurate coordinate...

But this picture is very strange. It is three-dimensional. In addition to the longitude and latitude coordinates, there is also an additional three-dimensional "space" coordinate. It has "three lines" to determine the precise position!

Anna roughly described her understanding of the pattern and said: "The route on this map... is like dozens of nautical charts overlaid on top of each other. There is a ship that sails on each chart for a period of time, and then...

Drilled into the next sea map... like, traveling through different planes?"

She didn't know how to accurately describe the strangeness of this route.

If there really is such a ship sailing according to this chart, then it is not just simply flying into the sky and escaping to the earth, but it is like traveling through different worlds, different worlds, and different spaces!

"This kind of route is simply impossible to exist in reality... At least, this kind of route has gone beyond the scope of any navigation, or even the scope of human cognition..."

Anna shook her head.

She wanted to delve deeper into it, and she felt more and more like looking up at the stars, with a vast mystery coming over her face.

Doubts, like stars, entered my mind one by one. The more I looked at them, the more...

Raymond tried to ask: "If there is a ship sailing on that chart, can you be sure where it is now?"

"No! This is a special route map with the existence of 'world' and 'space'. It cannot be understood with common sense..."

Anna was curious, but felt powerless.

She gave up the idea of ​​understanding the blueprint immediately and said: "It is probably impossible to study this route thoroughly in a short time. Moreover, you need to refer to a large number of ancient documents to know where the coordinates marked on this chart are.

What does it mean..."

"oh."

After hearing this, Raymond pursed his lips, slightly disappointed.

But he didn't worry about the drawings anymore.

This thing can be studied by professionals, and you, the captain, can just take charge of it.

It would be better if you can get some clues.

If you don't get it, you seem to have nothing to lose.

In this regard, his form is very correct.

After all, the world of navigation has covered up too many epoch-making civilizations and buried too many things with heads and tails cut off. In the game, players are increasingly exploring and uncovering a large number of headless mysteries that cannot be solved at all.

If you really want to understand the source of every mystery, you will only end up in a dead end, which will only increase your troubles.

...

"Hey... it would be great if I could understand Dwarf language. At least it would be much easier to interpret this drawing..."

"Yes, many of such exquisite designs can be used on modern steam ships. If those technologies can be used to transform the 'Golden Ghost', it will definitely be very exciting..."

"..."

Not long after,

Colin and Colin also gave up their plans to continue studying the drawings. This is definitely a "lifetime" series.

When mechanics look at the drawings, they not only want to see how the ancient dwarves designed them, they also need to understand the "principles" of these designs. It can be said that this design drawing of the "Ship of Theseus" is actually a reflection of the ancient dwarf shipbuilding skills.

Peak technical manual,

This is a "god-level drawing" that they need to spend a lot of time studying.

If they really understand the secrets, they will master the dwarf shipbuilding skills that have been lost for countless years.

The library in this underground city is obviously not a good place to study technology. Colin and the two carefully took the drawings off the wall, rolled them up and put them in the package.

On the other hand, Raymond also successfully found the "golden key" placed in the secret compartment.

Now, with the three keys gathered together, the treasure house on the third floor of the dungeon can be opened.

But this key was originally the key to his most important purpose in coming to the "Central Library". Now that he is holding it in his hand, it seems that he no longer has the strong sense of anticipation.

The treasures in the secret room have far exceeded everyone's expectations and are of immeasurable value.

This trip to the dungeon was a huge profit no matter what.

...

The "ghost group" was banging around in the room, trying to remove everything that could be taken away from the secret room.

But at this moment, Colin suddenly sensed something and issued a warning: "Captain, the detector I left outside has reacted... Someone has entered the library!"

"oh?"

Raymond was slightly surprised.

This library is one of the core areas on the second floor of the dungeon. The monsters around it are very dense and extremely dangerous.

The only person who can explore here so quickly is a traveler like himself who is familiar with the route... Then another possibility is that the person coming is extraordinary!

The people you encounter in this dungeon are more likely to be enemies than friends.

Before Raymond could think about it, he sensed that the strange intruder was heading towards the secret room at an extremely fast speed.

Obviously, they came for the "Ghost Group".
