Chapter 177 Sea Ship

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Under the rock formation, Mosi's clone slowly stretched out, extending out more than ten tentacles, digging through the rock formation.

After the collapse, the underground palace reached the very depths of the underground. Li Ang controlled Mo Si's clone to check the surrounding area and found several unmanned strongholds left by the Zhenfu Division outside the underground palace.

They don't seem to know much about the Sword Immortal Tomb, and because of frequent earthquakes, they haven't invested much manpower and material resources in digging this area - it's too deep here, and there is no way to rescue it if it collapses again.<

/p>

This gave Li Ang room for maneuver. The clone of Mo Si quickly found the remains of the corpses of Jiao Cheng's men and cleared away the traces. And along the twisted and deformed corridor, they found the stone box that originally contained Mo Silk.<

/p>

After Li Ang killed Jiao Cheng, his fingers came into contact with the inside of the stone box and encountered parasitic ink. Under severe pain,

Li Ang only had time to sink the charred corpse into the bottom of the river and escaped back to the ground. The stone box was lost underground due to the dim environment.

‘I never thought I could find it again.’

Li Ang asked Mo Si to open the stone box. It was empty, but there was a line of small words engraved at the bottom.

【Wujun Changmen Sea Falcon Thirty-nine】

Wujun?

Li Ang's heart moved, Wu Jun is Suzhou, and its name has been changed many times in history, such as Wu Jun, Wuzhou, etc.

The Chang Gate is the ancient city gate of Suzhou, located in the northwest of the city. "Chan" means connecting to the sky, which means that the Kingdom of Wu is blessed by the gods and is becoming stronger and stronger.

And sea falcon thirty-nine...I don’t know what it means.

Li Ang thought for a moment and asked Mo Si's clone to put away the stone box and continue exploring.

The large number of third-level demon-like red-eyed purple bees that originally lived in the underground palace were either crushed to death by the rock formations, suffocated to death, or starved to death.

Mosi's clone followed the numerous corpses of red-eyed purple bees and found the giant pyramid-shaped hive protected by them.

Nearly a year has passed since the underground palace collapsed. Most of the eggs in the hive have shriveled up and died due to the too hot environment.

There are only three black bee eggs scattered on the bottom layer, as well as weak fluctuations of life.

Li Ang has read in zoology books that the red-eyed purple wasp will actively hunt its prey, lay eggs in its body, and hatch into adults.

When there are no large living creatures in the nearby environment, the eggs need to be activated by the queen herself.

As for the activation method...

It seems to be royal jelly that provides high calories?

Li Ang hesitated for a moment, and instead of killing the three eggs, he asked Mo Si's clone to put them away as well.

The parasitic ability of the red-eyed purple wasp is quite interesting. In history, many academic doctors have tried to use it for biological control, that is, using the red-eyed purple wasp to kill other low-level monsters.
p>

And a high reward of 200 credits was offered for the queen egg of the red-eyed purple wasp.

It’s not that Li Ang wants to claim the reward, it’s just that the thief won’t leave empty-handed.

After exploring the entire underground palace, Li Ang did not find any more clues about the Sword Immortal, nor did he find the charred corpse - maybe because the underground river changed its course and washed him to an unknown location.

"That's okay. Since I can't find Jiao Cheng's body, it's unlikely that the Zhenfu Division will find it."

Li Ang felt a little regretful. He controlled the Mosi clone to clean up the traces, turned into a drill, drilled out of the surface, left the underground palace, and lurked in the mountains and forests a hundred miles east of Chang'an.

In the Jinchengfang mansion, Chai Chai and Li Leling celebrated for a while after passing the first exam, and then went back to intense study and tutoring.

The preliminary test of 10,000 people versus 5,000 people is just the first level, and there will be a retest and a final test later.

Don't relax.

The two of them were busy, and Li Ang felt that there was nothing he could do around him, so he found a reason to go to the Academy the next morning.

He applied for a patent from Su Feng, a doctor of science, for the iodine and potassium iodide he had produced in Li Shenbin's case.

Iodine can be used to make preservatives, disinfectants, and medicines, replacing irritating high-concentration pure wine.

Potassium iodide added to table salt can be used to prevent goiter.

As before, Li Ang entrusted Xuegong Patent Office to help contact Chang'an Company, authorize the patent, and produce these two products.

After the introduction of allicin, the number of deaths due to blood carbuncle among the people of Yu dropped significantly.

However, the disadvantage of allicin being difficult to store still exists. In some areas, the price remains high, and many people in Yu State still cannot afford it.

If the scale of iodine production can be expanded, people can directly apply iodine to the wounds if they have minor scratches or cuts to disinfect and sterilize them to avoid wound infection and life-threatening injuries.

After submitting the patent application form, Li Ang went to the library again - during the holiday in the Academy, there were many fewer teachers staying at the school, but the library was still open.

He borrowed some books and looked up information about [Wujun Changmen Sea Falcon Thirty-nine].

After reading more than a dozen books, Li Ang finally found relevant clues in the county annals.

Sea Falcon is the name of a medium-sized sea-going ship.

"There are floating plates on the left and right sides of the ship's side, shaped like the wings of a falcon, to help the ship with the wind. Although the wind and waves are strong, there is no risk of it rolling over."

This kind of ship has structures similar to breakers on both sides, which can effectively improve the ship's handling performance in sea waves, reduce rolling, and prevent capsizing.

It was produced in Suzhou during the pre-Sui Dynasty, and was later replaced by more advanced sea-going ship structures.

"In the early Sui Dynasty, the three-level system of prefectures, counties, and counties was changed into two levels of prefectures and counties. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Wuzhou was changed to Suzhou. In the first year of Daye, Fuzhou was renamed Wuzhou. In the third year, the prefecture-county system was changed again.

It is a county system, and Wuzhou is renamed Wujun.

In other words, the history of this stone box is at least three years after the great cause of the former Sui Dynasty and before the establishment of the Yu Kingdom."

Li Ang quickly determined the approximate age of the stone box, "Changmen Sea Falcon Thirty-Nine, it is likely that it was the 39th Sea Falcon model ship produced by the Changmen Shipyard in Suzhou during the former Sui Dynasty.

The stone box is probably what was on this ship."

He squinted his eyes and thought, "After the Sword Immortal himself returned from the Endless Sea, he began to secretly build tombs in various places to bury various things he brought back from the Endless Sea.

Considering that the ink silk is placed in the stone box...

Sea Falcon Thirty-Nine, the people on this ship should be the first to discover Mosi.

But for some reason, they died in the endless sea,

The stone box was also discovered by the Sword Immortal and brought back to the Yu Kingdom."

Many emperors in the pre-Sui Dynasty were keen on exploring the Endless Sea and organized fleets many times to search for the legendary elixir of life for them.

There are also a large number of private businesses that take risks and sail into the endless sea in search of wealth for spices, corals, rare treasures, etc.

It is a common thing for a ship to crash and the crew members to be buried at the bottom of the sea together with the belongings on the ship.

Of course, it is also possible that the sword fairy just had a bad taste and randomly found an antique box to place the ink in order to cause trouble to future generations.

However, this possibility is too small to be considered.

"A wrecked ship from the pre-Sui Dynasty, tsk.

Three or four hundred years have passed, and the people in the shipyard have changed from generation to generation. It may be difficult to find records...

Want to go to Suzhou?"
