Chapter 634 Is this the professor at Gotham University? (Part 2)
When they arrived at the hotel, the three of them wanted to go directly to the beach, then rent a boat and go out to sea to find the isolated island.
As for why he didn't just fly there by plane, firstly, although Arthur knew that someone was trapped on an isolated island, he didn't know the specific location of the island, and the school of fish couldn't convey such detailed information.
The second reason is that when the plane is flying in the air, it is far from the ground and there are many nearby island groups. It is difficult to judge which one is their destination. When Arthur is in the air, because he has not touched the sea water, it is difficult to determine which one is their destination.
If you cannot listen to the information brought by the sea, the efficiency will not be as high as sailing a boat to search on the sea.
So, after a few people landed in Coastal City, they were about to take a boat out to sea. Hal contacted his old friends and found a good boat. However, when he came back to deliver the news, he also brought another surprising thing.
The regrettable news is that he may not be able to participate in this island rescue trip.
"The friend I was looking for was a cousin of mine. I hoped he wouldn't tell my parents about my return, but in the end, they knew it and they hoped I could come home." The expression on Hal's face
It's a bit complicated. Apparently he left Beach City before because of his family.
"My parents thought my job as a test pilot was too dangerous, so they forced me to change my job..." Hal took a deep breath and said, "Or, it can't be said to be force, but they put too much pressure on me.
, I have no other way."
"Indeed, I have always been the deviant one in our family. My cousins have chosen very stable careers, and they are both locals in Beach City. When they heard that I was going to be a pilot, they thought I would be transferred there.
Washington will even go to the battlefield, so I firmly disagree."
In the hotel room, Hal took a cigarette and lit it. While smoking, he said: "My mother cried several times, and I argued with my father several times. Finally, I compromised because I knew they loved me.
Don’t want me to take risks…”
Arthur leaned on the bed and said: "My dad thinks the same way. He thinks it is dangerous to go fishing and the income is low. It is even better to be a taxi driver in a big city. He almost wants me to follow his friends to Kansas."
Zhou became a farmer."
Arthur's slightly reminiscing tone also evoked Hal's emotion. Arthur said: "It is precisely because he is a lighthouse keeper and has seen too many fishing boats sinking in the sea, so he knows the violence of the sea."
, he doesn’t want me to be one of those swallowed up.”
"Then will you persist?" Hal asked.
"I don't know. When Professor Schiller first told me that he wanted me to go to university, I instinctively felt a kind of aversion. It was not that I was against going to university, but... I didn't want to go to a big city. I felt that the
I'm not a good enough person, and there are too many things I don't understand." Arthur lowered his head and sighed and said, "I know some people may say that I am timid, that it will be fine if I get used to it, and that other people came here the same way...
…”
"But that makes me feel unhappy. Even if I can only be a fisherman in the Sword Sea, or inherit my father's career as a lighthouse keeper, I still want to stay in Blüdhaven and live with my familiar friends and neighbors.
, instead of going to a big city to pursue some career ideal."
Schiller looked at Arthur. His temperament was actually somewhat similar to Clark's now. Both of them came from small places, and there was a kind of simplicity in their bones. Sometimes the simplicity was too much, and it seemed a bit stupid.
However, Clark was always passionate and motivated, trying to adapt to his life at Metropolitan University, and had the drive to overcome all difficulties. But Arthur, perhaps because of the lighthouse keeper who taught him, his father Curry Sr. was a
A person who is too gentle is not that passionate, but appears to be more happy-go-lucky.
"This is actually not a bad thing, Arthur. Not everyone in this world can stay in a big city, nor can everyone be an elite white-collar worker. Someone has to be a fisherman or a lighthouse keeper."
"God has given you a different talent. Perhaps it is for you to do these professions to help fishermen who may be swallowed by the storm." Schiller came up with a set of voters' rhetoric, but this just hit the target.
He said, "I feel the same way. I think my talent can be used to help those fishermen..."
"The fish in the sea will tell me the upcoming weather and tell me where sailors are in trouble, so I can rescue them."
Arthur and Hal have nothing in common, but they are somewhat similar in life situations. Their parents do not want them to take risks and hope that they can choose a more gentle and stable career. However, because of Arthur's father's
He is relatively gentle and will not force Arthur to choose, while Hal's parents are relatively strong and put a lot of pressure on him, hoping that he can follow their wishes in choosing a career.
"I can't convince my parents, so I'm a little afraid to face them now..." Hal lowered his eyes and said, "I know my neighbors are probably talking about them because one of them doesn't come home all year round.
Son, which is rare here."
"People in Beach City are deeply proud of this city. They think this is the best city in the world, so few people will settle elsewhere. Perhaps I am the only weirdo."
"No, Hal, you have to go back." Schiller said with a rare certainty: "I think if you go back this time, you may get a different answer."
Hal looked up at Schiller, as if he didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but he trusted Schiller's professional ability, so after being silent on the chair for a while, he stood up, patted his leg, and said
: "I'm sorry that I can't participate in this rescue operation, but I think it's beyond your ability to save someone."
"If you come back, just call my house. Pilot Hal is on call at any time." Hal made a unique pilot gesture and then left. Schiller looked at his back and shook his head.
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off quickly." Schiller stood up and said, "You said before that you can judge the position of the island in the sea. You'd better not be exaggerating, otherwise, I won't
Find a way to find where the island is."
"It's not that I can guide the way, but the school of fish can lead us." Arthur followed Schiller and walked out of the room, saying, "If I remember correctly, all the schools of fish nearby know the news.
They will lead the way for us."
After walking out of the hotel, taking a taxi and arriving at the pier, the two saw a medium-sized fishing boat. Although it was not advanced, it was much larger and newer than the small boat Arthur owned.
A middle-aged man came over enthusiastically, shook hands with Schiller, patted Arthur on the shoulder, and said to him: "I can see that you are a fisherman, and you must be a very good one, Hal."
He is my nephew, and I have chosen a pretty good little guy for you, who has only been in the water for no more than two months."
Arthur walked to the fishing boat, looked up and said, "It's really good. I've seen this boat in a fishing magazine. Its speed and endurance are quite good, and it also has my favorite big ice warehouse."
, but it’s a pity that it’s too expensive and I can’t afford it.”
The middle-aged man took the two people on the boat and said: "There is no way, the price of new models will go up. When new models come out, maybe the price will drop. Okay, you go and have fun. I wish you a good harvest."
."
Schiller smiled and shook hands with him. After Hal's uncle left, Schiller said: "It seems that Hal's character is indeed good. His uncle is willing to lend us such a good boat."
Arthur nodded with deep approval, stroked the railings of the boat, and said, "This is really a nice little guy. You can't even see such a nice boat in Bludhaven."
Walking into the cabin, Arthur praised him again and again. Schiller couldn't understand some of the professional terms he said, but he could tell that Arthur was a boat enthusiast and knew a lot about fishing boats. A small part or even a component
I can tell you clearly about the paint used on it. Schiller asked:
"Where did you know this?"
"The most popular fishery magazines in Blüdhaven are fishery magazines. Whether they are published by the official ocean bureau, various industry groups, or even fishery magazines from Canada, you can order them in Blüdhaven."
“Actually, I like to read magazines published by Oceans and Fisheries Canada the most. They like to tell the truth, especially the weather and water quality conditions that are useful to fishermen. Unlike these magazines in the United States, they compete every day to see who can catch the biggest fish.
Competition held.”
Walking to the cockpit, Arthur felt as if he had gone home. Although he had never actually operated this kind of boat, he had seen the scene in the cockpit countless times in magazines and had already done it without even reading the manual.
Clearly understand the functions of all buttons.
He started to control the boat to leave the dock, turned to Schiller and said: "I just saw that there seem to be fishing rods in the tool box in the warehouse room at the back. You can go fishing with a few rods. Maybe you will have better luck than you did in Bruder."
Hello Haiwen.”
Schiller smiled and said: "How can it be worse than in Blüdhaven? At that time, I didn't catch a single fish."
Half an hour later, Schiller knew that he had been happy too early. Not only did he fail to catch a fish, he also broke his fishing rod. It can be said that he had much worse luck than fishing in Blüdhaven.
.
He found that he seemed to have no connection with the sea. He didn't like to eat fish, couldn't fish, and he always felt like he was going to be seasick.
Before he had ever seen the sea, he had imagined that he could become a free fish in the sea. He even had a personality with a fish tail on his lower body for this reason. But now it seems that that personality still stays in the room of the Hall of Thought.
It's better to be in the swimming pool, forget about the sea.
Two hours later, Schiller felt that he was too happy because he really started to get seasick.
He walked into the cab, took a deep breath, looked at Arthur and said, "You haven't found it yet? Are you sure the school of fish that led you is not a road idiot?"
Arthur frowned and looked at the fishing radar. He said: "The situation is a bit unexpected. The fish can only convey rough information. They said the target is on the west coast, but now it seems that it is not the west coast of the United States...
"
"where is that?"
"It may be closer to Mexico. We are now sailing towards the equator, maybe close to the Panama Canal. I remember there are many islands there..."
"But I'm a little seasick." Schiller said, leaning against the door frame. Arthur looked back at him and said, "It's normal. People who have never been to sea will feel a little uncomfortable when they stay at sea for such a long time for the first time.
The reaction should be there soon if you hold on for a while longer."
After Schiller walked out, he asked Huiwu in his mind: "Why can't I adjust my seasickness?"
"Because it's not physical seasickness." Hui Wu replied a little aggrievedly: "There is nothing wrong with the body. The reaction of the stomach is a psychological effect. Every time I let the stomach relax, it starts to cramp again within a few seconds.
"
"Psychological effects..." Schiller leaned on the railing, closed his eyes, and entered the palace of thinking. As soon as his consciousness sank, he suddenly woke up, and the voice of the superego came from his consciousness: "No entry."
"Why not let in?"
"I'm on vacation."
"You're actually still on vacation?"
"Why can't I take a vacation? Only you can take a vacation?"
