The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 25: Sant Jonah, go ahead! (Medium)

Jona has also speculated about the working principle of the submarine. Since it can travel through rocks and soil, it must rely on the ability of sand-eaters to swallow and expel the soil. The sand-eaters in the endless sea of ​​sand can only swallow sand. , This big worm that was selected as the core of the "Sant Jonathan" must be a very powerful mutant. He frowned and asked: "It has been amazing that it has survived for hundreds of years. I told Hannah and Dan. Ni learned a little skill in regulating the intestines of sandworms, and immediately took me to see it, where is the interface of the steering gear."

The elder shouted: "Just under the bridge, there is a lift to get there. We have nothing to do with this bug. It would be great if the adults can get it." He lifted his robe and snapped. He ran and took Jona to the front of the bridge. The astrologer suddenly slapped his forehead: "Wait a minute, this is not the point. The enemy has already attacked, and we must find a way to solve the main problem." He grabbed the elder's collar and carried him to the front, hurriedly said: "By the way, I remember this submarine is a collection of endless sand sea Tantuha people's insect breeding technology, volcanic country Flores people Steam technology and the mysterious spells of the Vedic people in the Buddhist country, tell me about the working principle of the ship."

Elder Longbeard shrugged in the air: "It's mainly our steam puppet technology, Master Captain, only with the strength of the sandworm, there is no way to advance in the hard frozen soil of the northern continent, first of all, here. "He used a small stick to point to the front of the submarine model. "The bow is equipped with a rotatable cast iron sawtooth, which can crush large rocks into potato-sized pieces and gnaw a way in the frozen soil. Come, the sand-eaters only need to devour the crushed gravel, and will not cause indigestion; secondly, the whole ship’s hull is made of steel, covered with spiral guide rails, when the submarine is full When it is launched, the spiral shell will rotate to give the ship enough forward thrust through the friction layer. Look, this is a great idea. Finally, there is a steam-driven steering gear at the tail of the submarine to control it. The jet wake of a sandworm."

Jona thought thoughtfully: "Understood, you go on talking."

"That's it." The elder spread his hands innocently: "Big bugs and steam technology are all of the "Sint Jonna". In fact, without a big bug, a submarine can be built, but processing the wasteland is a big deal. Big problem, I can’t turn flexibly..."

"The Vedic part, what did they do." The astrologer reminded,

The elder suddenly realized: "Oh, I heard that these bald and non-eating guys have a lot of weapons on the ship, but no one knows how to fiddle with those things. For hundreds of years, no one can remember how to do it. Let’s talk about us. I can’t understand their strange twists and turns."

"Where is the weapon." Jonah's eyes lit up.

The elder grabbed his long beard and thought for a long time, "It seems that there is a room at the bottom of the starboard side, which is the main control room for weapons, but there is no time to repair the passage there. There are no people in many places. I’ve been there. You can’t imagine how bad a house that has been left for hundreds of years will be. The smelly mushrooms can grow to the height of a big tree, Master Captain."

"Ms. Koshava, haven't the people from the Arion Alliance ever been to the weapon control room." Jonah asked,

"The St. Jonathan is our treasure. No one except us can run around. Even the people of the Arion Alliance can only stay in the living quarters we have created." The elder was proud of his beard. It turned up, "Now the upper port and starboard upper floors are almost done. No one knows what's going on below."

The astrologer immediately made a decision: "I will go down now. If the weapon system of the submarine can be activated, the intruder will be beaten back." He threw the pink hat dwarf to the ground and turned around. Hurriedly ran out, "Then what shall we do, Master Captain." Dozens of dwarves immediately screamed in unison,

"Find Teacher Koshava, and he will tell you what to do. Compared to me, the teacher should be the one in command of everyone." Jonah threw a word and jumped off the bridge. He slid down the ladder and ran forward along the noisy passage. At this time, a bare-bottomed dwarf chased up and shouted, "Master Captain, let me lead the way for you. I'm on the way here. It is familiar and can help you find the place to go."

"That's great." Jonah shouted, reaching out to pat his pink pointed hat: "What's your name."

The dwarf immediately fell to the ground with a plop, got up with a shy face, and twisted: "The name of the person is not important. The key is that the captain can be happy. If I have to take off my hat, Me too, me too..."

Jonah felt that he should make up for the living habits of the Flores. He turned his head awkwardly and saw a straight figure like a bamboo pole walking obliquely behind, taking an unhurried pace. , But I’ll never be thrown off by myself, “Yekong, you can understand Sanskrit, right? “Nandalu Geographical Survey” mentioned that although the Veda Kingdom is the lingua franca of Nandalu, Sanskrit is still the official language used by monks and nobles. Weapon control There must be an explanation in Sanskrit and I need your help." The 17-year-old shouted to his red-haired partner. With Yekong by his side, he felt a lot more settled. This reliable partner always brought him inexplicable safety. Feeling, although you can never predict his actions,

The southerner glanced at him, did not say anything, and did not deny, Jonah took this as some kind of default,

"Boom."

Another explosion happened in the front. Many people fell on the road. Jonah saw a familiar figure in front of him, wearing an obviously larger astrological robe and holding a two-headed staff. The president of the Association of Astrologers, Byron Ylivia, "President." The boy shouted, "President, what's going on, where is the teacher."

Bairron turned his head to see him, blushing, shy and anxious: "It’s Jona, Uncle Koshava and the others have gone ahead. Several enemies have attacked, and more enemies have been blocked. In the tunnel, I used to reinforce, hoping to close the hole. Compared to here, the situation on the port side is more troublesome. The mathematics and science bachelors who are standing there are retreating. Ipsyron Chuan Crocodile is leading Ebenezer. The elites of the Republican Guard have passed, but they seem to be in a hard fight. The enemy is very strong. Where are you going? Now the battle is chaotic. You should stay safely in the center of the submarine. We will protect..."

Yonah yelled: "I won't hide like a woman. I will go to the lower level and try to turn on the weapon system. I won't talk about the guild leader any more. I will come back to chat when I win." He hurriedly Passing by the guild leader, leading the lead dwarf and Yekong to the right side of the road, Byron Ylivia murmured in a shocked voice: "...I will protect you, Jonah classmate... Forget it, anyway. No one listens to me..."

The bare dwarf rushed forward, ran a few dozen yards and then stopped abruptly, and said, "That’s it, the elevator to the lower level, Master Captain, but the elevator has been broken. For a hundred years, only the dwarves in charge of maintenance will go down with ropes, which is very dangerous."

In front of the three people is a huge rectangular pothole, which looks like a passage of some kind of lifting platform. Above it is a large string of rotten cables, which have been rotten to the ground, and are tied to rusty steel beams. Some brand-new thick ropes, a dwarf was climbing up from below panting, looked up, and immediately rushed over and fell under Jona’s feet, touching the tip of Lord Baron’s boots with his middle fingers: "Big, sir, you What are you doing here? It’s very dangerous. Maybe the floor will collapse anytime, and these steel beams will be rusty."

The leading dwarf said with his hips akimbo: "That's what I said, it's too unsafe to tie a rope down, is there any other way."

The maintenance dwarf hesitated and said: "The bottom is sixty yards deep. Where can I find such a long ladder? It takes two weeks to repair the lift. If you want to build a spiral staircase, it can be shortened to about five days. ……"

Without waiting for Jonah to speak, Yekong strode suddenly, holding the astrologer with his left hand and holding it around his waist. With a choke in his right hand, he drew out the famous knife and Buddha tooth. , The two dwarves screamed at the same time: "You, you, what do you want to do to Lord Jonah."

Jonah was in trouble at this time. Don’t look at the thinness of the southerner, his strength was so great that he almost squeezed his chest into a piece of paper. The boy made two difficult gestures to indicate that he was okay. This Shi Yekong walked to the front of the elevator shaft in two steps, stretched out his feet expressionlessly, and stepped again, stepping into the void with one step.

"Mom's steam loaf." The dwarves were so scared that their souls were out of their bodies. The leading dwarves screamed and rushed to grab the corner of Jonah's robe. Shaking, for a second, the three people have disappeared in the dark lifting shaft. The dwarf crawled to the side of the well and looked at it with his hands and feet, while covering his eyes in horror,

"Zila la la la..." The harsh metal rubbing sounded, and the maintenance dwarf slowly opened his fingers and saw bright sparks emerging from the well. The red-haired southerner sandwiched the astrologer and slashed it open. The metal wall of the lift shaft was cut. The rusty iron wall was cut by a serrated long knife. The violent friction slowed the speed of the fall. Amidst ear-piercing screams and countless sparks, Yekon’s left arm slowly sank into the deep well with Jona. The lead dwarf hung on the corner of Jona’s clothes and screamed. The 17-year-old felt that only the breath out of his lungs was not inhaled. At the moment he was almost strangled to death, Yekong’s feet finally touched the ground. Qiang." The famous knife and Buddha tooth flashed back into its sheath, and a hideous crack appeared on the inner wall of the elevator shaft. The incision was uneven, red and shiny due to friction.

Yekon loosened his left arm, and Jonah and the dwarf fell on the ground. The astrologer sucked in precious air and raised a love-hate thumb to his taciturn partner.
