Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 256 Doctor's Choice

To record what happened recently, Charles put down the pen in his hand, and put the diary back together after the notes were dry.

After he took out the revolver kept in the calcified water and stuffed it into the holster around his waist, he started today's first round of Narwhal patrol. This is his captain's job and he can't stop as long as he is at sea.

The first stop is always the deck. As soon as he got out of the cabin, Charles saw Feuerbach sitting on the bow among the sailors cleaning the deck, cleaning a turtle with a knife to clean the barnacles.

"You love the creatures in the sea so much?"

The second officer stopped working, and asked with a surprised face: "Captain, why do you say that?"

Seeing his captain pointing to the turtle in his hand, Feuerbach chuckled.

"How do I love this thing? I don't know him. I just enjoy the feeling of peeling off the barnacles that have penetrated into the flesh. Moreover, this thing has already shed so much blood that it will die as soon as it is thrown into the sea. It will attract predators because of the smell of blood."

With a "plop", the turtle in his hand was thrown into the pitch-black water, and the next second, two red shadows emerged from the side, tearing it into several pieces in an instant.

Charles chuckled. It turned out that he had misunderstood him all along. After patting him on the back with his hand, he turned and walked towards the cabin.

Passing by one cabin after another, he saw the chief mate steering the cockpit, the chef and the cook cooking food in the galley, the chief engineer and the tubes filling the turbine cabin with fuel, and the crew of the Narwhal were all working. live their own lives.

Today's waves are a bit big, but the crew swayed easily with the rhythm of the ship's shaking, and each of them was very comfortable with life on board.

After a quick stroll around, Charles came to the crew lounge, which was supposed to be the residence of the sailors, but now there is a new resident here.

In a bed at the farthest corner, the doctor was lying on a table swinging something, and Tuba and Lily squatting on his head were watching with relish.

Because of the things coming out of the No. 3 door, it swallowed most of the entire medical room, and there were no people living there. During the time of returning to the voyage, the ship doctor had to live here.

Charles walked over and saw the doctor looking at the tablet on the table with a serious expression in his hand, which was one of the three tablets on the main island.

Seeing him struggling to pick it up and put it down, Charles walked up to him and said, "What? You want to get the parts yourself and fix your tablet?"

The doctor didn't turn his head, and continued to look at the tablet in front of him, "I've touched that thing all my life, and I can feel that something should be broken in it, just install it and it will be fine."

"Cultivating people is not the same as repairing machines. This thing is very precise. If you are not fully sure, I advise you not to do it."

Charles knows that the contents of an ordinary tablet are similar to those of a computer, nothing more than a motherboard, memory, CPU, power supply and the like.

If any accessory is broken, just take the broken one off and replace it with a new one.

But if you know it, you know it, but if you want him to help the doctor fix it, Charles will definitely not be able to do it.

God knows what's different in the foundation, even if the structure is the same, Charles doesn't have this technology.

In fact, Charles still felt a little worried about the doctor. This thing has passed for hundreds of years. Is the device for storing data in it really still there?

It's going to be bad, can this old man withstand such a blow?

Charles stood next to the doctor, quietly watching him swing, but after hesitating for a long time, the doctor finally did not take it apart.

The old man patted the table in annoyance, turned around and stretched out his hand to Charles, "Give me your mobile phone, and let me take it apart to practice."

"Are you kidding? It's absolutely impossible." Charles refused decisively.

"Hmph, anyway, that thing of yours is useless, it's just used for mice to play with all day long, what an exquisite mechanism, it's just a toy in your hands, what a waste."

The doctor turned around and continued to fiddle with the tablet on the table.

"I advise you to stop messing around. Whoever made it for you to charge my mobile phone? It's fine if you don't find him. It's best to leave it to professionals."

"I think so too, but, before meeting him, I can't help but want to try it myself."

Seeing the doctor put away the tablet, Charles asked curiously, "Who is that person?"

"Koch from the British Isle, he is an associate professor at the University of Steam, and he also made the device that charges your mobile phone."

Charles grabbed Lily from Tuba's head and stroked her soft hair with his hands.

"Is it the British Isle again? Sure enough, that guy Swan can develop so fast, and those universities have contributed a lot."

"Have you been to the British Isles too? When?"

"Of course I've been there. Don't forget that I drove a cargo ship before I became the captain of the expedition. The most recent time was about five years ago. I still remember that their customs tax is twice that of other islands."

The Doctor drew his iron flagon from beneath his dirty white robe.

"Five years ago? Then you'd better go and see it again when you have time. The island is changing every moment, especially after their governor built "Londo". New stuff."

Rondo... As the huge metal structure appeared in Charles' mind, his eyes lit up involuntarily. He seemed to have found a way to enter the huge black hole in the deep sea.

"You said that on the British Isle, can you order the mechanical structures that other governors need?"

The doctor put down the jug by his mouth, with a surprised expression on his face. "What? You want a new boat? This living boat is more important than your wife, and you plan to change it?"

"No, I want a submarine."

"What's a submarine?"

"A boat that sails underwater."

"Hmph, isn't that a boat? It's not enough to go to the sea. Now you're actually going to the bottom of the sea to seek death. You're the only one in the entire sea who can do that."

"Since they can build the "Lonka", it is of course no problem to build a submarine. I guess only the British Isles can do it in the entire sea."

"Whatever you want, I won't be with you anyway, my business is over, I'm going to disembark." The doctor stood up slowly and walked towards the bunk bed next to him.

Charles was very surprised, "Are you going to disembark?"

"Don't forget why I got on your boat. I will get off the boat when I achieve my goal. And if I don't accompany you everywhere looking for death, I don't have a few years to live. Compared to dying on the boat and being thrown into the sea by you, I still prefer to die on the shore."

Hearing this, Charles felt a bit of regret, since Sodom met the doctor, he really helped him a lot.

He knew that the doctor wouldn't stay for long, but he didn't expect the parting to come so soon.

Thanks for the 1W reward from book friends whose ending is 2826, thank you!
