Alchemy Greater China

"Is that so..."

Yesura was a little disappointed.

"Don't be depressed, he is Chinese, but you are the first foreign chess piece I set up. Speaking of which, you two are really destined..."

"Why? What is the relationship between me and that person?"

Yesura pouted.

"You all have a treasure map..."

Long Hao was fascinated leisurely and sighed at the coincidence.

The food in the sapphire dragon boat was not unlimited, so after only staying for a while, Long Hao and Yesula left the treasure island by boat, and headed straight to the Eurasian continent with the considerable treasure.

With the bug of the sapphire dragon boat, all coastlines in East Asia are undefended, and Long Hao can land wherever he wants.

Long Hao was not too prodigal, and did not drive to Southeast Asia. After all, the power of the sapphire dragon boat also consumes energy... He chose the nearest Lushun Port, landed on the Liaodong Peninsula, and resettled Ye Sula.

With money, all obstacles are paper tigers. Ye Sula showed her identity as a foreigner, and successfully bought a Western-style villa in Lushunkou and lived there.

It took some time to arrange the security work, and Long Hao left Lushun alone and returned to the waters of Sakhalin Island.

As for the treasure, part of it was given to Yesula for safekeeping.

Although the amount of this huge treasure from the Genghis Khan era was considerable, Long Hao didn't pay much attention to it.After all, he is the man who salvaged the treasure of the shipwreck in the Age of Discovery!

It used to be difficult for water...

Of course, it doesn't mean that 50 tons of gold is not valuable, but rather, Long Hao is looking forward to another treasure map.

Needless to say, the other treasure map was handed over by Zhang Yuehu.Long Hao summoned the sapphire dragon boat this time, and brought this treasure map along the way.

The treasure map is a piece of smelly parchment, covered with carbon marks, and comes with half a key.

The material of the key is neither gold nor iron, which is very special. Long Hao has studied it before.This is made of a metal fossil that is suspected to be deep in the earth's crust, so it cannot be forged.

If it wasn't for the half of the key, Long Hao might have thrown away this ancestral treasure map long ago!

Now that he came to Sakhalin Island from the Arctic Ocean by accident, Long Hao decided to give up this treasure.

Now the conditions are just right, because several big shots have died, Sakhalin Island is in chaos, the army cannot be dispatched, and the naval cruise has become a display.It happened to give Long Hao the opportunity to sneak in alone.

As for the lack of half a key... Long Hao didn't care too much about it. He is not an ordinary person. With his alchemy method, is there a treasure house door that cannot be opened?

Long Hao is full of confidence.

The industry of alchemists, after the era of great destruction, is a high-risk, solitary, and adventurous business.

High risks bring high returns. Alchemists are actually very similar to pirates in the early days of the Great Discovery Age.

Some of them were sent to the gallows, while others saved their fortunes for future generations.

Since Long Hao was born as an alchemist.Naturally, there is an adventurous factor in his bones, and he also has the temperament of a lone ranger.

It turned out to be insufficient strength and insufficient time.But now he has a lot of alchemy weapons such as the sapphire dragon boat as a base, and he has a half-year 'practice period'.

If this treasure is missed in this way, no matter how much gold Long Hao absorbs, he will definitely not be able to explore the peak of alchemy in the future: because actions are contrary to the original heart, and thoughts cannot be understood.Cultivation will stagnate.

Near the end of 1892, Long Hao had no time to think about Christmas. Instead, he drove a sapphire dragon boat and quietly came to a sea area in the north of Sakhalin Island alone.

this sea area.It is closer to the Jugjul Mountains in Russia, on the side of the Shantar Islands, on the inner edge of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

The Chantal Islands belonged to China before 1858. It, Sakhalin Island, and the Outer Northeast were all lands ceded by the Qing court.

Shame should be remembered.

When Long Hao found this place, he felt even more at ease: This was the territory of China in the past. Although it used to be the place where the ancestors of the Man Qing braids lived, since the Man Qing dared to enter the customs, then I came here to take the treasure, and it would be considered a repayment. report.

Having said that, how did Long Hao determine this treasure place?

Speaking of which, there is also some mystery.

The treasure map given by Zhang Yuehu had strips of meaningless carbon black on it, but Long Hao was inspired by the revealing liquid, and had an idea to make the same reagent as the one in Ye Sula's vial.

The composition of this reagent is complex, and if it were not for Long Hao, others would not be able to copy it. It is for this reason that Long Hao thought of using this revealing fluid to try on that 'unintelligible' treasure map. give it a try.

Let alone this test, the charcoal black treasure map really showed the pattern! !

The treasure map is written in Chinese, and Long Hao is very pleased: nnd, the language I have learned can finally come in handy.

It seems that the text on the map has been around for some time, and Long Hao called this sea area: Miandao Sea Area according to the text on the treasure map.

You can understand it just by listening to the name, the place where the treasure is hidden is Mian Island!

Today is December 1892, 12. Long Hao is standing in the control room of the sapphire dragon boat, eating deep-sea urchin shells, and talking to himself: Miandao, it's really... cheating!

Deep-sea urchin is a soft-bodied creature that lives at 500 meters under the sea. It is cool in nature, delicious in taste, and non-toxic. Long Hao went to Hokkaido to get some wasabi. With soy sauce, the taste of raw meat softening into the throat is nothing to mention .

"Mian Island, as the name suggests, is an island... Is there any sunken land? Hmph, can sunken land still be called an island?"

Long Hao muttered to himself angrily, opened his mouth wide, and chewed the hot raw meat of the gall shell into his stomach.

It turned out that the reason why Mian Island was cheating was that after Long Hao confirmed its latitude and longitude, within a radius of ten kilometers, he didn't even see a single 'island hair'!

If it weren't for the sapphire dragon boat's ability to dive into the bottom of the sea and open transparent walls and windows, Long Hao would have thought that he had been tricked by the treasure map and made the trip in vain.

After inspecting through the sea water, Long Hao discovered that the so-called Mian Island was submerged below the sea level, soaked in water to a depth of 20 meters!

That is to say, even if there is a boat passing by, you can't find that there is something special at the bottom of the boat.

Seen from the bottom of the sea, Mian Island looks like a huge irregular stone.Its volume is about tens of billions of cubic meters, like a sleeping iceberg, quietly lurking on the seabed.

Looking forward to it.

After Long Hao confirmed that the big guy 'sleeping' on the bottom of the sea is undoubtedly Miandao, he felt strange and at the same time understood: No wonder the treasure map says that Miandao can only be seen once in a hundred years. According to the current situation, it is only a hundred years ?It's just that I have to wait for I don't know how long.It may take several epochs until the sea and land change before this small island can resurface!

Long Hao was indeed a little disappointed at first, and was about to leave, but an accidental discovery made him change his mind and stay.

Because, he discovered that there was an erupting tidal current under Mian Island!

This tidal current seems to come from a submarine volcano, and the continuous eruption force is enough to push this piece of land to the surface of the sea!

Long Hao was surprised.After some calculations, according to the increasing trend of the tidal current, in about 30 hours, this huge force will bring Mian Island back to light!

Doing the math, isn't it just December 12th, the traditional Christmas for Westerners?

It is quite commemorative to choose such a special day to witness the once-in-a-century rise of Mian Island, and it cannot be more coincidental.

Long Hao also had doubts.It is agreed that it will be seen once in a hundred years, that is to say.This strange and powerful tidal current only appears once every hundred years. Could it be that my character exploded, and just when I wanted to hunt for treasures, it popped up out of nowhere?

Is this the protagonist's halo?

Or is this Mian Island treasure somehow destined to be with him?

Long Hao doesn't really believe in gods. Anyway, there are still 30 hours to wait, so he simply spent more Jinyuan energy.The periphery of this 'big rock' on the seabed was carefully inspected.

Don't forget, although the midterm exam has been passed, there is still half a year left... Long Hao is still in the internship period of "doing his best to lose money".

Naturally, he wouldn't mind spending more energy.

After probing, Long Hao was relieved.This tidal current is very interesting. As long as you control the sapphire dragon boat to approach it, its gushing force will become very strong, and if you wait ten kilometers away from it, the force will gradually weaken.

The tide seems to be spiritual, and can recognize the approach of the treasure map. Once it gets close, the tide will increase, as if it can't wait to 'sell' Mian Island.

The hundred years mentioned on the charcoal black treasure map is actually just a rough quantifier. As long as it is within the approximate age limit, as long as the person holding the treasure map comes to the vicinity of Mian Island, the tidal current will speed up and push him to Shanghai. noodle.

After probing, there is waiting.

Thirty hours passed in a blink of an eye, and it was about five or six o'clock in the evening. The sky of Miandao was still very bright, and the daylight was everywhere, and it was impossible to see that it was almost dusk.

The sapphire dragon boat floated out of the sea near Mian Island, which was still some distance away from the mainland, and there was nothing around it except floating ice.

It's so absurd that it's heart-piercing!

Finally, with a tremor, the uppermost part of Mian Island began to emerge. It was a little black stone, on the endless ocean where blue and white intersected, it seemed to puncture a hole with a 'click'!

If the sea water is like a solid-colored cloth, this black spot is like a tailor's scissors. After a gap is made, the opening at the back will become bigger and bigger, and the momentum cannot be stopped.

The sky darkened irregularly at this time, and the sky was gloomy like the prelude to thunder. Long Hao witnessed a miracle happen through the wall and window.

In just 10 minutes, the sea water boiled, and Mian Island rose vigorously like a sea god on a tour.

Like a miracle of the Creator!

When the sea water was completely calm, the spray stopped splashing and the foam dissipated, and a green island like a paradise appeared in front of Long Hao's eyes.

The appearance of this island is out of tune with its surroundings.

It is surrounded by the cold Sea of ​​Okhotsk, but this small island is like spring all the year round, and [-]% of the area is covered with lush trees, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed, with a nameless joy of rejuvenation. !

The sapphire dragon boat slowly approached. At this time, Long Hao detected that the tidal current supporting Mian Island still existed, and what it brought was a furnace-like high temperature, which was no different from a volcanic eruption. Why is the island blooming like spring!

Not caring about pursuing Xiliu again, Long Hao seized the time to get out of the sapphire dragon boat and set foot on Mian Island.

According to the treasure map, Mian Island will only surface for seven days, if you miss it.We have to wait another hundred years.

Although Long Hao didn't fully believe this, but one thing was certain, if the tidal current under the island really weakened or even disappeared, it would be impossible for Long Hao to support the island with his ability.

With a treasure map.After passing through the maze surrounded by trees, Long Hao came to the center of Mian Island.

Don't underestimate the labyrinth formed by these trees. There are many ferocious man-eating plants in it, and most of them are alien species that contemporary botanists would be dumbfounded and sigh for their shallow knowledge.With the ability of Long Hao, and with the help of the treasure map, he fell into danger surrounded by plants several times.

Although Long Hao was physically strong, it didn't mean that he would be willing to be wrapped around his upper body by those bewitching, gorgeous, wet and sticky disgusting plants.

It is conceivable that if there is no treasure map to guide the way, it is considered a regiment of soldiers.Rushing into the jungle of Miandao is a dead end, and there is absolutely no other way to choose.

In the center of Mian Island is a ring-shaped mountain range. Long Hao found the entrance according to the treasure map, pondered for a while, and resolutely chose to enter.

Once I went in, I stayed for a year...

hehe.Not really a year, of course, but on the afternoon of January 1893, 1.Long Hao walked out of the ring mountain range with a complex expression, holding a half-human-sized object in the shape of a crystal coffin in his hand.

Long Hao glanced back at the ring mountain range, and laughed at himself: "I remembered a cold joke, don't go into the toilet at 12:31 pm on December 11st, otherwise you may not come out until next year... Hehe, I can't think of it. I, Young Master Long It’s been a similar scene.”

Holding the crystal coffin, Long Hao quickly left the Miandao jungle and entered the sapphire dragon boat.

He knew that Mian Island was going to sink soon, just the way it appeared.So abrupt, so weird.

This time, strictly speaking, Long Hao's treasure hunt actually failed. The crystal coffin was not the ultimate treasure, but just an ordinary little thing on the periphery of the treasure.

"Half a key..."

Inside the boat, Long Hao ate something, took a breath, and his expression kept changing: "This truth is too surprising. Although I didn't finally get in, even the murals on the outer passageway revealed enough information to make people feel uncomfortable. surprise."

After Long Hao finished speaking, he looked at the crystal coffin, his eyes revealed a mixed light of eagerness and doubt.

"If this crystal coffin is really effective, then I will believe what the mural says..."

Yes, Long Hao was missing half a key and stopped at the gate of the treasure house, but even so, the crystal coffin was enough to satisfy him.

The treasure of Mian Island, Long Hao believed, was not left by humans at all according to historical records.

It's either prehistoric or built by aliens at all! !

Six days ago, after Long Hao entered the crater, he found an entrance, went straight down, took an elevator, and entered the depths of the center of Mian Island.

Long Hao saw the appearance of Mian Island from the bottom of the sea, and knew that even if it surfaced, most of its volume was still hidden in the water.

Arriving at the center of Mian Island, there is a complicated circle of peripheral passages, engraved with incomprehensible words and horrifying pictures on the passages, Long Hao watched while walking, and when he reached the end, he realized that the gate of the treasure house was actually opened by his own hands. Made of unseen solid material, no blasting or corrosion has any effect.

Just like that, the plan of "breaking through" that was planned before coming here has completely become a laughing stock.

Fortunately, there are three small doors next to the treasure house gate, but these three small doors are not locked and can be opened with a push.

Long Hao chose a small door to enter, and the crystal coffin was placed inside.

As for what was inside the other two small doors, Long Hao had no way of knowing, because as soon as he entered the room where the crystal coffin was placed, the other two small doors were automatically locked, and they couldn't be opened no matter how hard they tried.

Long Hao has no regrets about this, because it took him six days just to 'subdue' the crystal coffin, and fortunately it was only six days, otherwise if it exceeds seven days, and the Mian Island sinks to the bottom of the sea again, Long Hao will not Be sure to get out of this perverted 'treasure'.

The process of subduing the crystal coffin seems simple, but in fact it is not simple.

Long Hao needed to take off his clothes and lie down in the crystal coffin. He could only carry the crystal coffin away when the lights above his head came on.

Otherwise, it can only be fixed on the base and cannot be moved.

As for why Long Hao knew to do this, it was because, as soon as he entered, there was a clear and easy-to-understand image demonstration on the wall.

This is also one of the reasons why Long Hao believed that this treasure was created by prehistoric humans or aliens.

Look, there are even projection animations. If it is said that this is left by the ancients who drank blood and drilled wood to make fire thousands of years ago, would you believe it?

After Long Hao entered the crystal coffin, he was quickly submerged by the influx of solution.

For six days, he was neither cold nor hungry, and he didn't have any difficulty breathing. He just felt that the boy's skill in his body seemed to be activated, like a fish in water, very active, between his body and the solution in the coffin, through Long Hao's skin , Wearing it playfully.

Six days later, when Long Hao got a little impatient with waiting, the indicator light above his head finally turned on, the solution slowly receded, and the crystal coffin stood up automatically, shrinking to the length of half a person.

The moment the light above his head was on, Long Hao felt some information rush into his head, and after digesting it quickly, he had a clear feeling that he could clearly recognize the words and images he had seen in the peripheral passage.

The memory ends here, Long Hao took a bath, cooked himself, comforted his stomach, and returned to Lushun Port.

Hmph, whether the crystal coffin is as effective as it 'tells' itself, just try it with Yesula!

Long Hao thought to himself.

Why did you choose this Yesura as the subject of the experiment?

The reason is very simple, Long Hao doesn't know her very well, so even if the experiment fails, there is no loss. Moreover, she is the daughter of a baron, and she has a vengeance with Tsarist Russia to kill her father and family. Hao happened to be able to delegate tasks to her with confidence.
