Chapter 1347 I will never take a boat again (there is a new group in the pinned post)
Liu Xing and Alice both looked at Zhuri Sonoda with surprise on their faces, because they did not expect that the plain-looking ghost ship would be in the news.
"You haven't come to the island country yet, so it's normal for you not to know the origin of this ghost ship, because this ship sank during the tsunami... At the beginning, this ship sank in
Fishing operations were carried out elsewhere, so it was not greatly affected by the first wave of tsunami; however, because the owner and crew of the ship were locals from Fukushima, they chose to sail back without hesitation
Participate in the rescue and try to find survivors at sea. Although the probability is very slim, there is still hope."
"Because of this, this ship was quite famous at the time. According to today's terms, it was an Internet celebrity ship. Although they had never caught anything... just a few days later, suddenly there was one
The new report about them is that someone followed the ship and found that after leaving the port during the day, the ship found a place to rest. To put it bluntly, it did not work hard and the so-called rescue was just to earn fame.
"So, the ship owner set sail again to prove himself, but the ship encountered a big wave and was swept into the sea."
"But how can I put it? Although the ship had a live broadcast when it sailed for the last time, and the live broadcast also captured the moment when the big wave came, but this time the big wave may hit a ship.
However, from a professional point of view, the probability of discovering such a situation is only 10%, so some people suspect that this so-called capsized ship is a plan for the ship owner to escape after realizing that his reputation has been ruined and he has no face to see his elders in Fukushima.
, anyway, there were no other ships following them at the time, so they could have sailed to other places and given the ship a makeover, changed its appearance, and started a new life."
"As a result, about half a year later, a fishing boat discovered this ghost ship appearing next to a small island. After going around the island, the ship suddenly disappeared. From then on, there would be occasional reports of sightings of this ship.
The content was nothing more than that the ship was discovered near an island, and I was arranged by the editor to write several related reports. At that time, the sales volume of the newspaper increased by 30%; but then again,
At that time, I also received a piece of gossip saying that the great tsunami that year was actually caused by the discovery of the resting place of the sea."
What the hell is the resting place of the sea called?
One thing to say is that Liu Xing has always felt that the "secondary students" in the island country are no longer limited to the second dimension. In other words, the "secondary students" originally originated from the island country in the third dimension, because the island country has always liked to give its celebrities a very special name.
A powerful nickname, the common format is a+b, where a generally refers to the name of a place, and b is an animal, such as dragon, tiger, leopard, etc. As for +, you can directly replace it with "的".
The "Dragon of Echizen", "Tiger of Kai", "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven" and so on are good examples.
So now, the media in the island country are also very keen on using these secondary nicknames, which give people a sense of unclearness. Moreover, this naming method is not limited to people, but also the names of places.
However, Liu Xing also has to admit that this kind of marketing method is actually quite good, because it allows people to remember the person or place represented by the nickname while making complaints, and it can also be used as a reference when people chat.
topic; of course, this is also related to the development direction that island countries have chosen in recent years, because small overseas countries like island countries can only rely on two words to gain a foothold in today's world - culture, because even if they can
Having a few world-class, or even number one industries cannot cover up the overall weakness.
And island countries are not like some small countries in the Europa League. Because they have a small population, they can feed everyone with a few developed industries. In addition, there are other countries in the Europa League behind them, so they settled down early.
Being a gangster there, I basically have no sense of existence on weekdays.
The island country cannot do this, because although the island country has the support of the world's largest country, the support here can also be exchanged for blood-sucking. In addition, the island country has a large population, so the island country has to choose
"Strive forward"...if we stop, a series of problems will follow in the island country.
However, due to a series of problems existing in the island country itself, some advantageous industries of the island country have gradually begun to weaken. Coupled with the challenges initiated by other countries, the island country has inevitably slowed down, and the advantages of certain industries have been offset.
It’s almost done, so the island country’s hope of gaining a say in the world through technology is getting increasingly slim.
Since then, culture has become the new hope of the island country. Of course, the next door country also has the same idea. Then these two countries began to spend a lot of money to promote their cultural products. According to today's parlance, they spend money to buy volume.
And invite navy troops, so you can now see that a large amount of the island country's annual financial expenditure is promotion fees to maintain cultural export.
However, Liu Xing still feels that even if the island country is engaged in cultural promotion, it is a bit behind the pace of the times, because the decadent smell of the island country can no longer be hidden. In other words, it can also be described as a head iron -
After discovering that there is a method that is very good, they will apply this method when they encounter seemingly similar problems in the future, even if they later find that it is not efficient... because the island country is now
We have entered a stage of "fear of making mistakes".
It is better to be inefficient than to make mistakes.
For example, Mazda, a well-known car company in the island country at that time, was considered a front-line presence in the industry. However, because it was determined to make a rotary engine, it gradually fell behind other car companies. Today, it continues to research rotors whenever it has money.
As for the engine, I don’t know if they realize that the main development direction of the industry is now towards electric vehicles.
This may be the so-called craftsman spirit in the island country... Oh, by the way, the craftsman spirit is actually a concept that has been gradually promoted in the island country in recent years, or it can be said to be a kind of sentiment, which is the same as "purely handmade".
The method of cutting leeks makes you spend a lot of money to buy something whose quality is completely inferior to industrial products.
As for why the island country has become like this, it is mainly because the older generation still occupies the leading position in all walks of life, and the so-called "older and younger" in the island country allows these people who have no longer kept up with the times to still be arbitrary and tyrannical.
It determines the development direction of a company or an industry, even if this development direction has been proven to be inefficient and backward... Or as the saying goes - the food and clothing of millions of workers depends on it.
The great powers all miss our Qing Dynasty, and the great powers all become our Qing Dynasty.
Today's island country is actually no different from the Qing Dynasty back then. For example, in order to host the Olympic Games recently, we found someone to make an APP for foreign tourists. We spent more than 7 billion island countries' currency, and the first version of the APP was created.
It is worse than a WeChat applet. It is visually estimated that its cost will not exceed one million island country coins; and recently, due to various reasons, the island country Olympics has been unable to receive foreign tourists, so the development work of this APP has been directly canceled, but the money has already been spent.
Seven billion will not come back because of the "spirit of contract" (true story).
Just when Liu Xing was complaining in his heart, Sonoda Juri continued: "This resting place of the sea is the place where the most ship accidents occur in the island country. Because there are many undercurrents and reefs there, many ships have rested there since ancient times.
, so that place was called the Resting Place of the Sea; some time before the tsunami occurred, a private fleet went to the Resting Place of the Sea to salvage and excavate. Except for some coins and porcelain that were severely corroded by the sea water, almost all
Nothing good was found, but just the day before the tsunami, the fleet released a message saying that it had discovered something very valuable."
Hearing this, Liu Xing realized that that very precious thing was most likely the body of the Mother of Stars, and that the Mother of Stars might still be in a deep sleep state at that time, and only slowly came into contact with people.
Resurrected, and for some reason exploded its own energy, triggering a huge tsunami, and was finally hit by the previous fishing boat by accident.
This may be the "craftsman spirit" of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall. Even if the Mother of Stars can be used as a real Old Dominator temporarily airborne, a complete appearance story will be arranged for it...etc.
.
Liu Xing frowned and suddenly thought that in the module with thousands of people and thousands of faces, he and his team had guessed that it also died in the tsunami, and was finally resurrected because of an agreement with Cthulhu; but after that, because
My group discovered that the Thousand People and Thousand Faces was actually a weasel, and they began to suspect that their guess was wrong.
And now it seems that Liu Xing suddenly felt that Thousand People and Thousand Faces might be the subordinates of the Mother of Stars, or simply one of the clones of the Mother of Stars, because the Mother of Stars can transform any living thing into a zombie for her own use, so at that time
The Star Mother, who is still sleeping like Cthulhu, may be traveling as a Thousand People and Thousand Faces, and the code name "Thousand People and Thousand Faces" also represents the remaining stand-ins of the Star Mother?
If this is the case, it would be interesting, because it means that the conflicts that thousands of people had with their group in the past have been automatically transferred to the Mother of Stars, so the Mother of Stars will come to find her and her group later.
This makes sense.
"Liu Xing, what's wrong with you?"
Leaning on the solemn-looking Liu Xing, Sonoda Zhuri said worriedly: "Do you know some news about the resting place of the sea? And this may pose a threat to us?"
Liu Xing shook his head, then nodded and said: "Although I don't know the relevant news about the resting place of the sea, I can now guess what the private fleet found in the resting place of the sea. There is a saying, this is indeed a
Big baby, because this is the identity of an Old One!"
When Liu Xing said this, both Alice and Sonoda Juri were shocked.
Because it was impossible for Liu Xing to tell the story about the King in Yellow and Ao Guanhai, he could only bring out an old friend who had been missing for a long time - Sirius to take the blame.
So Liu Xing pretended to sigh and continued: "As you all know, I got a small box before, and there lived an ancient man with only a soul left in it. It once told me that a long, long time ago, there was
An old ruler fell into the sea like a meteor. The ancient clan, which was still powerful at the time, ran to investigate and found that this old ruler was actually very young. It could even be described as young. In other words,
The age of a human being is that of a baby less than one year old."
"However, it is indeed an Old Dominator, so the Ancient Ones do not dare to attack it directly. After all, there is an old saying - a gentleman takes revenge, it is not too late in ten years, and this Old Dominator
It is not too late to take revenge, but even a hundred thousand years is not too late, because both the Old Ones and the Ancient Ones can live forever, so these 100,000 years are nothing to both parties; but the Ancients do not want this
The ruler brought them some trouble, so the ancient ones tried to find a way to seal the old ruler."
"This young Old One looks like a human-shaped stone statue the size of a baby, so in the eyes of ordinary people, it is an ancient statue of a god. Therefore, it is very likely that the owner of the private fleet regarded it as a treasure.
After all, such a well-preserved ancient statue can be called a national treasure; but the ability of this old ruler is to release vines to control living things, even inorganic objects, so the so-called ghost ship appeared, and now I am very suspicious of the past.
The Thousand People and Thousand Faces are also related to this Old One."
Having said this, Liu Xing sighed again, "If this is the case, then it means that we have provoked an old ruler who can move freely. But the good news is that this old ruler is still very young and has great strength.
It’s far inferior to big brothers like Cthulhu, so it shouldn’t put much pressure on us.”
"But it is still an old ruler after all." Alice rubbed her temples and said: "In this way, we should not take a boat casually in the future, lest this old ruler is extremely revengeful.
One day it will come to trouble us, and if the ship we are on is controlled by it, I'm afraid we will be doomed..."
"That's right, let's take a plane in the future. It's safer." Liu Xing said with deep approval.
