Chapter 1402 Otherworld (117)

Seeing Booktonlin come in, Bridgemorgan stood up and asked anxiously: "Major Booktonlin, what's the situation? How far are we from the continent of the Bros Disc."

"Mr. Bridgemolden, our ship's instruments failed. We had just encountered two rounds of attacks and were repelled by our escorts. Now we can only move forward in a straight line by the direction indicated by the watch. As for how long it will take to reach the land in the Bros disc, we don't know."

"The direction indicated by the watch?" Bridge Morgan looked at his watch in confusion. This was a multi-function watch with several small dials representing air pressure, altitude and other data, but there was no direction function. "How do you indicate the direction?"

"I can't explain this clearly to you all at once. In short, we have a way to use mechanical and astronomical principles to determine the direction. Please rest assured." Although Booktonlin had just heard the principle explained to him by the first mate, he couldn't recite it at once, so he had to stabilize the people's hearts first.

Booktonlin walked to Lima Oda and asked, "Professor Lima Oda, the two attacks we encountered were caused by unknown creatures. If possible, I hope you can go to the deck with me. Next time you encounter other creatures, please give us some identification and see what the natural enemies of this creature are, so we can do targeted protection."

As the most famous paleontologist in the world, Lima Oda must have quite a lot of experience in identifying unknown creatures. Booktonlin thought that if he could identify the species of unknown creatures as soon as possible, he would find the most effective attack method.

"No, this is too dangerous." Before Oda Lima could speak, Bridge Morgan spoke out, and he had been sitting with Oda Lima during this period.

"It's okay, I'll go!" Oda Lima stood up, "Instead of sitting in the cabin and being frightened, it's better to go to the deck and breathe fresh air." Oda Lima smiled at Bridge Morgan, revealing her white teeth.

Booktonlin once again explained to Pang Xiaonan: "Protect the people in the cabin."

"Yes." Pang Xiaonan nodded at Booktonlin, his eyes showing a firm look.

Booktonlin took Lima Oda to the deck, Bridgemorgan wanted to get on but didn't want to get on, and the last person sat next to the window and looked at the sea outside the window.

Pang Xiaonan walked to Li Yis, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Is it okay?"

"It's okay," Lies shook his head, "I feel that the attack ahead is just a prelude, and we will encounter more difficult situations next."

"Yes, I feel so too. Although the first two attacks seemed dangerous, they did not cause any substantial damage to us." Pang Xiaonan stared at the scientific expedition team members in the cabin. Everyone's faces were not very calm. Except for Professor Li Sanming, who was over 70 years old, he had already put his life and death aside.

"What do you think will happen next?" Li Yis looked at the sea outside the window. The current calmness made people even more frightened, because the storm always happens after the calm.

"I don't know, let it go." Pang Xiaonan left Li Yis's side, walked to the other side of the cabin, and sat down with Professor Li Sanming.

"Your name is Pang Xiaonan, Xiaonan, I think you are different from other Black Mamba members." Professor Li Sanming tilted his head and looked at Pang Xiaonan with a smile.

"Is that so, what's the difference?" Pang Xiaonan leaned his back on the seat and stretched his legs and yawned.

"The landslides before it does not change color. I was impressed by your calmness. This should not be the psychological quality you should have at this age." Professor Li Sanming learned countless people. He only felt that the strong psychological quality of a young member of the armed team like Pang Xiaonan seemed to be much better than that of others.

"If you give me too much of a professor, this danger is nothing." Pang Xiaonan sat upright, thinking that there were so many dangers I had encountered before, and it was all about life and death in a blink of an eye.

"Are you still a student? Or are you not studying anymore?" Professor Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonan at most 20 years old, and this age was when he was squandering his youth on the university campus.

"I am still a student and I am studying at Dongli Military Academy," Pang Xiaonan leaned closer to Professor Li Sanming's ear and lowered his voice, "I am just a part-time job in Hei Mamba."

"Oh?" Professor Li Sanming frowned, a little surprised, "Can Black Mamba work part-time? Since it's a part-time job, why choose such a dangerous action?" Of course, he didn't understand that Pang Xiaonan had to choose such a dangerous task. The security organization is not an army, nor is it a military order falling, but a choice to accept this task or not. No one is too stupid to participate in an impossible task.

Pang Xiaonan put his right index finger on his lips, "Worry, Professor, my part-time job is kept secret in Hei Mamba." Pang Xiaonan did not hide it from Li Sanming, "If other team members hear it, they will have any objections."

Pang Xiaonan leaned on his back with his hands in his arms, "As for why we take on such a dangerous task, we are all young people with ideals and ambitions. We are unwilling to take on non-dangerous tasks. Besides, we still have the opportunity to be with so many scientists, and we can also get some knowledge of fairy spirit."

Speaking afterwards, Pang Xiaonan's tone was relaxed and his expression was ambiguous.

"Haha," Professor Li Sanming happily patted Pang Xiaonan's thigh, "You guy, you can still joke when you are so dangerous. As expected, you have two tricks. I know why the Black Mamba sent you to protect us in close proximity. You must be the trump card among them."

"I dare not be ace, but fighting a few monsters is still not a problem." Pang Xiaonan used his spiritual sense to investigate the force of his teammates of the Black Mamba Guard before boarding the ship. In terms of naked fighting, he was indeed the strongest on this ship, but after all, they all brought weapons, so he may not be the strongest in combat. It would be great if Fang Zheng's glasses could have been developed earlier.

In Pang Xiaonan's opinion, Wu Zhen, the combat officer on this ship, was definitely the first in overall combat power. The equipment on his body could kill a reinforced company.

"Hey, Xiaonan, you said you are a student of Dongli Military Academy. So if we return safely this time, you still have to go back to school to teach. How about it? Are you interested in coming to me?" Professor Li Sanming has always liked excellent young people. Pang Xiaonan is a good young man. Being able to get into Dongli Military Academy means that he has extraordinary intelligence and such good psychological qualities and force. If he is trained in the future, he will definitely be a shining existence in the scientific community.

Li Sanming's assistant next to him was surprised. Being able to join Professor Li Sanming, basically established his position as a major in the scientific community in the future. However, Li Sanming's subordinates were not so easy to join. Take himself as an example. They all published countless influential papers in the academic community after graduating from a doctorate, so they had the opportunity to follow Professor Li Sanming.

Now Professor Li Sanming and Pang Xiaonan have been together for only a few days. They have only taken the initiative to invite Pang Xiaonan to join his disciples just because of these few days of getting along. This is a unique opportunity. Ordinary young people have already jumped up happily.

"Professor, it's not that I don't agree to you. I'm really stupid. I'm afraid I've let you down," Pang Xiaonan refused Li Sanming's invitation without thinking. "I am a person who is lucky to be admitted to the Dongli Military Academy. If I ask me to do research, I will definitely not achieve anything. Thank you."

Pang Xiaonan is really not interested in academics and so if he wants him to sit in the laboratory honestly, it would be better to let him go to the mountain to meditate and absorb some spiritual energy.

"I can see that you are not interested in my old man's research direction." Li Sanming thought Pang Xiaonan did not like the subject of geology.

"No, no, no, I'm not interested in any subject." Pang Xiaonan said shamelessly, "If you use your brain too much, you won't be able to use it too much," Pang Xiaonan pointed to his head. "My brain is not as developed as a cerebellum. I can barely deal with it by hitting a monster, but if you deal with those formulas and principles, you will definitely have a big head."

"No, I'll ask you, if you want to follow Professor Lima Xiaotian, would you like?" Professor Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonantou with ambiguous eyes.

Pang Xiaonan waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Look at you, you scientists are so dirty too? You must concentrate on your research and not have any unreasonable thoughts. If you are not thinking about science, but about the things between the opposite sex, then your research will definitely not be done well." Pang Xiaonan smiled and taught Li Sanming a lesson.

Li Sanming laughed and pointed at Pang Xiaonan and said, "Are you very good at reasoning? With your reaction, you won't worry about your research. Why? I really don't consider following me to do research. I tell you that I can work part-time."

In order to win over Pang Xiaonan, Li Sanming also put forward generous conditions. It is not an exaggeration for ordinary talents to follow internationally famous professors like Li Sanming. It is not an exaggeration to be on standby 24 hours a day all year round.

The assistant next to him couldn't stop, and he interrupted, "Pang Xiaonan, Professor Li Sanming favors you. You have to know that I had worked hard to join his team."

The assistant's words sounded like a praise for Pang Xiaonan, but in fact they were expressing his dissatisfaction. Why are they all human beings? Li Sanming is so kind to Pang Xiaonan. Moreover, he has been with Li Sanming for many years, and Pang Xiaonan is just a stranger who has been together for only a few days.

Pang Xiaonan turned his head to look at Li Sanming's assistant and said, "This teacher, the professor is joking with me. My qualifications are not worthy even if I carry a bag for you. I am a freshman, and I am like a primary school student in front of all scientists. How can I have the qualifications to follow you to the scientific community?"

Although Pang Xiaonan sounded like a joke, he was very happy to hold Li Sanming's assistant. He no longer had to bother with Pang Xiaonan, and looked at the scenery outside the window and entered his own world of thought.

Booktonlin pressed his Bluetooth headset and asked, "Sniper, have you found anything?"

"Report to the captain, no discovery is available for the time being." The sniper put the sniper rifle on the side of the ship and observed the sea through the scope. At this moment, the sea was calm and there were no ups and downs.

Booktonlin looked at the sky, and the sky gradually became darker, and his heart became entangled. If it was night, the uncertain things that happened at sea would be even more difficult to deal with. Not to mention anything else, it would be difficult to detect even the enemy's attack, because there was no radar on the ship, and the enemy's approach was purely determined by eyesight.

"First mate, how long has it been since we entered the Bross disc?" Booktonlin looked at the first mate next to him, his face calm and he didn't seem to be worried.

"It's been more than four hours." The first mate glanced at his watch and looked up at the sea in front of him.

"What is our current speed?" Booktonlin also looked at the vast sea in front. The calmer the sea surface, the less confident he felt.

"It's about 50 kilometers per hour." This "Bloss Flower" uses fuel power. In theory, 50 kilometers per hour is already quite fast.

"Can't you get faster?" Booktonlin wanted to arrive on land early. If the Bloss disc had no land, he would pass through it as soon as possible.

"Captain, we are almost moving forward at full speed." The first mate explained, "The speed of modern warships is basically around 30 knots. Most people must think that warships are not sailing faster, the better? In this way, they can gain strategic advantages or advantageous positions in combat, but in fact, this is not the case. Now warships carry various missiles, and warships run faster, they are not as fast as missiles. Therefore, speed is not that important for a warship. The climate environment on the ocean is relatively complex. If the speed is too fast, it will be extremely unstable when sailing on the ocean, and the impact of water current on the hull is relatively large, and accidents may occur. After the experiments of technicians, it was found that 3

0 knots are the most suitable speed for warships, and the speed of 30 knots also saves fuel. At the same distance, 30 knots speed saves 60% of fuel than 40 knots. 30 knots are conclusions drawn after many verifications. One knot is equal to 1.852km/h, and 30 knots equal to 55.56km/h. This speed is not fast on land, but it is already very fast in the ocean. The marine environment is too complex and cannot be measured by the speed on land. Our ship is smaller than ordinary warships and carries limited fuel. If the speed is too fast and consumes too much fuel, it cannot guarantee that there will be enough fuel to pass through the Bros Disc Sea smoothly."

Booktonlin nodded and said, "Well, just move forward at this speed. You have to keep the direction away from deviating, otherwise it will be difficult for us to go out in circles here."

"Don't worry, captain." The chief mate stared at the front with his eyes fixed on his hands, holding the steering wheel tightly.

Booktonlin left the cockpit, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and asked, "How big is the diameter of the Bros disc?"

The first mate looked at Booktonlin and said, "According to previous estimates, it is about 1,500 kilometers."

"As we are now, it will take 30 hours to cross the entire Bloss disc." Booktonlin frowned. It only took four or five hours to go through. Even if there is no change in the middle, it will take more than one day. There are too many changes that can happen in these dozens of hours.

"It's thankful that you can go out in such a short time." The first mate has rich sailing experience and theoretically it is impossible to rely on time. If you encounter a slight storm, you will have to delay for several hours.

"Okay, I get it." Booktonlin closed the cockpit door and walked to the deck.

All the Black Mamba Guards on the deck were close to the side of the ship, staring at the sea without blinking, in case unknown creatures approached.

Professor Lima Oda stood behind the combat officer, staring at the front with her eyes fixed on her face.

Booktonlin walked to Lima Oda and said, "Professor Lima Oda, it's going to be dark soon. You go back to the cabin with me first and eat something. We'll come up after we finish eating."

Lima Oda said ok, and followed Booktonlin toward the cabin. As she was about to reach the entrance, she turned around and looked at the Black Mamba Guards on the deck and asked Booktonlin, "Don't they eat?"

Booktonlin replied: "They carry compressed cookies and other foods with them, and just replenish them when they are hungry. They can't leave the deck now and must stare here."

"Okay." Oda Rima got off the deck and walked towards the cabin.

When we arrived at the cabin, Booktonlin said to everyone: "Everyone eat something first. I guess we have been in the Bloss disc for a long time, so try to save food. Pang Xiaonan, you and Li Yis will give you some food."

"Yes, captain." Pang Xiaonan walked to one end of the cabin, took out convenience food from the locker, and joined Li Yis to distribute food to everyone.

The food carried by the "Bloss Flower" this time was similar to the plane meal on the plane. It was very simple. Bridge Morgan frowned when he received his lunch box. He had never eaten such low-end food.

Bridgemorgan turned his head to look at the assistant and said, "Take my wine over."

"Okay, boss." The assistant walked to the storage cabinet in the cabin, opened one of the cabinets, and took out a bottle of wine.

Lima Oda smiled and said to Bridgemorgan: "It's quite enjoyable."

Bridge Morgan took the wine handed over by his assistant and replied with a smile: "Life needs a sense of ritual. Although the food is not very good, the mood still needs to be there."

Lima Oda gave Bridge Morgan a thumbs up and opened her lunch box on her own.

"Do you want to have a drink with me?" Bridge Morgan sent an invitation to Oda Lima.

Lima Oda shook her hand and replied with a smile: "No, I have to go to the deck to stare at it later. Drinking too much will easily make things happen."

Bridge Morgan responded to Lima Oda with a thumbs up, he liked women who were sensible.

Pang Xiaonan stood beside Professor Li Sanming, gnawing bread and asked, "Professor, are you still used to eating?"

"It's a habit!" Professor Li Sanming was chewing the cake in his mouth, with debris at the corner of his mouth. "When we were in the wild, sometimes we couldn't eat for a few days, so we just tried to find food by ourselves. Sometimes we went to the river to fish, and sometimes we went to beat a hare. Oh, there was no seasoning, but it was delicious when people were hungry."

"Professor, your life is good enough, you eat wild game every day." Pang Xiaonan was aroused by Professor Li Sanming.

"Hi, I occasionally eat a meal called wild game, and it will lose its flavor every day." Professor Li Sanming pointed out Pang Xiaonan's mistake without hesitation. If you eat too much, you will really lose its flavor.

"Hey, you reminded me that some unknown creatures came to attack us just now?" Pang Xiaonan pointed out the window, "If we have nothing to eat, we will catch those creatures and eat them. What do you think?"

"A good idea, it's better than eating bread every day," Professor Li Sanming also became interested, his eyes shining, "But you have to catch it."

"You can do anything when you are hungry." Pang Xiaonan put the whole bread into his mouth disapprovingly, then grabbed a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.

The sky slowly darkened, and Booktonlin's brows became tighter and tighter, because there had been hours of unnamed creatures to interfere with the route of travel, which meant that the calm before the storm might mean greater danger.

Pang Xiaonan also felt something abnormal. According to the previous two dangerous rhythms, the interval this time was a bit too long. He always thought in his mind that it was not that simple to escape easily when entering the Bros disc.

Even Professor Li Sanming was a little worried. He looked at Pang Xiaonan and asked, "Hasn't there any discovery from Captain Booktonlin?"

Although the standby time of Bluetooth headphones is limited, it is no problem to have more than ten hours. However, in Li Sanming's view, no matter how long the standby time is, it may fail in an instant. After all, this is a Bros disc, and the entire Hallelujah star has no proven area.

Pang Xiaonan walked to Li Sanming and sat down, chewing licorice and said, "Professor, don't worry too much. If you find out, Major Booktonlin will notify me. We are still safe for the time being."

Professor Li Sanming looked at Pang Xiaonan chewing something easily and said curiously: "What are you chewing? Are you chewing gum?"

"Plant chewing gum," Pang Xiaonan stuck out his tongue and pushed out the licorice in his mouth. "Do you want some licorice, sweet and chewy?"

"Give me some, I'm idle anyway." Professor Li Sanming did not avoid swearing and directly reached out to ask Pang Xiaonan for help.

Pang Xiaonan took out a transparent plastic bag from his trouser pocket, which was wrapped in some licorice, "Come on, give it to you."

Professor Li Sanming pinched out a piece of licorice from the plastic bag and put it in his mouth and chewed it with relish. "I didn't think licorice had any taste before, but this time I chewed it out some."

Originally, licorice is a Chinese medicine, a kind of Chinese herb tonic. It is a medicine that is very good for the human body. The medicinal parts are roots and rhizomes. The roots of the medicinal material are cylindrical, 25-100 cm long and 0.6-3.5 cm in diameter. The outer skin is different, with reddish-brown or gray-brown on the surface. The rhizomes are cylindrical, with bud marks on the surface, and marrow in the middle of the section. The qi is mild, and the taste is sweet and special. Its functions are mainly used to clear heat and detoxify, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, and abdomen.
