Chapter 848 You Talk About Science, but Others Talk About Magic

Chapter 848 You talk about science, but others talk about magic~~

"Darling, is there really a so-called Fountain of Youth and Trident of Poseidon in this world? Are there really so-called gods?" Although she didn't know why Hao Shuai had to pose like this, Selena followed him.

"The Fountain of Youth and Trident of Poseidon do exist, and as for gods, there should be one, right?" Hao Shuai was not very sure.

In fact, Hao Shuai was not sure whether Calypso was a god or not.

Let's say she was a god~~

Hao Shuai had never seen a god so weak! ?

She was actually sealed by a group of mortals.

It was really embarrassing for the gods!

Let's say it wasn't~~

The plot of the movie clearly said that she was a goddess of the sea, and in the ancient Greek mythology system, there was indeed a god.

"But if the Trident of Poseidon existed, wouldn't that mean that Poseidon, the king of the sea, also existed!" Selena said with some concern.

As the god of the sea in Greek mythology and one of the three giants of the Olympian pantheon, Poseidon's reputation is so widespread that it's no wonder that Selena is worried.

Let alone Selena, even Hao Shuai at this stage would have to kneel down if he really faced Poseidon!

Anyway, Hao Shuai has made up his mind. When he collects the Trident of the Sea King, if Poseidon really pops out, he will immediately leave and give the Trident to whoever wants it!

But now he still has to comfort Selena's heart: "Don't worry! I guess this world has entered the twilight of the gods, and those gods are dead or sleeping."

"Okay then!" Hao Shuai's comfort can be regarded as a temporary relief for Selena.

...

The Age of Discovery is the best and worst era.

Countless men set sail, carrying their dreams and lives, and entered the ocean one after another.

Few of these people succeeded. The successful ones were praised, and the losers were buried in the belly of fish. Adventure was the abbreviation of this era. Sailors and pirates were the only ones in this era. This was the Age of Exploration.

Hao Shuai didn't know whether the Age of Exploration was good or not. He only knew that sailing ships in the Age of Exploration were really boring.

There was no TV, no movies, no Internet, and no entertainment facilities~~

This made it difficult for Hao Shuai, who had always been used to enjoying it, to accept it for a while, which was why he brought Selena to play cosplay.

In fact, Hao Shuai didn't know that even in modern times, except for that kind of cruise ship, sailing was boring, not to mention the current sailing era.

Therefore, when sailing, experienced captains always arrange the crew's work to be full, and the most common thing to do is to wash the deck.

On the one hand, it is because wooden sailboats are often soaked in water, the air on the sea is humid, and they are in a humid environment for a long time, which makes it easy to grow moss and become smooth and sticky.

At this time, it is necessary to polish the corroded area of ​​the deck, and then apply anti-corrosion substances, such as tung oil, to prevent people from slipping on the deck.

On the other hand, it is also to kill time and consume the energy of the crew that has nowhere to vent.

It is easy for the crew to grow grass when they are idle~~

Hao Shuai certainly can't wash the deck, and Barbosa doesn't dare to order Hao Shuai to wash the deck, which makes Hao Shuai and Selina the only two idle people on the entire Black Pearl.

Fortunately, although the voyage is boring, Hao Shuai can still watch the open and secret struggles of Jack and Barbosa, the happy enemies, and watch them holding back their energy to overwhelm each other.

Sometimes Hao Shuai can't figure it out. Jack Sparrow is active by nature, like a monkey who can't sit still. With his weird brain circuit, it's not surprising that he does something extraordinary.

But Barbosa is a steady and stable person with a somewhat old-fashioned personality. He spares no effort to maintain his dignity. This kind of extreme personality from Jack should not be with Jack.

But in fact, I don't know whether it is fate or something, as long as Barbossa meets Jack, Barbossa's brain circuit seems to be connected with Jack, and the two of them can always do ridiculous things together.

Just like now, the two of them argued for a long time about who should steer the ship. Finally, Jack ran to Hao Shuai and shouted: "Boss, I think I should steer the ship."

"Oh~ Why is that? As long as you can give me a reasonable reason, I can consider it." Hao Shuai said easily.

He knew that even with his previous orders, Jack would not give up.

For Jack, who loves the Black Pearl more than anything else, even if he can't be the captain, he can decide the fate of the entire ship by controlling the rudder, which is basically the same as the captain. In addition, Hao Shuai is obviously a layman captain who doesn't care about things, so there is no difference between being the first mate and the captain.

When Jack heard that there was a chance, he immediately said with a serious face: "Boss, Barbossa doesn't know anything about the Black Pearl, and he can't use the speed that the Black Pearl should have."

"Didn't use its speed?" Hao Shuai felt the Black Pearl riding the wind and waves under his feet, and said with some doubt.

Although Hao Shuai had no idea about the speed of the ship, he also knew that the speed of the Black Pearl was already quite fast among wooden sailing ships.

And Jack still said that it didn't use its speed?

When Jack heard Hao Shuai's disbelief, he immediately explained: "The Black Pearl's fastest speed can reach 32 knots, and the average speed is generally 25 knots, and now it's only about 22 knots~~"

"Wait~~ You said the Black Pearl's fastest speed is 32 knots?!" Hao Shuai looked at Jack with a look of "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Hao Shuai felt that Jack was fooling him. You know, even modern cruisers and destroyers generally have a speed of 30-35 knots.

Now, you tell me, a wooden sailing warship powered by sails in the Age of Discovery can run faster than a modern cruiser?

Although I am young and look easy to deceive, I have received nine years of compulsory education. If you want to fool people, you should at least talk about science!

Aren't you afraid that Newton's coffin lid can't hold it down?

Eh~

Thinking of this, Hao Shuai suddenly thought of a question: Is Newton dead at this time?

Remember that Newton was born in 1643 and died in 1727. The background time of Pirates of the Caribbean can be seen from the King of the Great Eagle Empire who appeared in the fourth part. He is George II, and his reign was from 1727 to 1760.

From this, it can be seen that Newton may have just died not long ago, and it may be possible to come back to life and blow up the coffin lid!

Hao Shuai was about to refute Captain Jack from a scientific perspective, but he heard him slowly say: "The Black Pearl is a blessed ship. The sea water will eliminate resistance for it, and the current will carry it forward. Only the Flying Dutchman, which is also blessed, can keep pace with it on the sea."

Jack's words immediately reminded Hao Shuai that he was in a magical world. You talk about science with others, but others talk to you about magic. This is a completely unscientific world.

Hao Shuai even thought: The reason why Newton studied theology in his later years was that he had insight into the nature of the world and knew that there was magic in the world...
