Chapter 153: Days on the Ship


In this era, taking a boat can be said to be one of the most boring things, second only to digging sand in the Sahara Desert, and the first few days of going out to sea are still somewhat new, but Su Ming quickly got bored.

The sound of the waves in my ears seems to never stop, it is always a frequency that is constantly repeated, and it will echo in my dreams when I sleep at night.

"Rustle, Rustle, Kill, Kill, Kill" This made Su Ming wake up irritably every day and want to cut something.

It is very calm around the course, and whenever you go up to the deck, there is only the sea and the sky as far as you can see.

The pastimes on the cruise, while looking a little more high-end, are still not interesting, with cocktail parties, dance parties, or poker games and cigar clubs He would always participate in cigar club activities, and it was good to taste other people's cigarettes, but people were not chimneys, and this activity only lasted for a short time every day.

As for the ball, although Su Ming is blind in one eye, he is handsome and very masculine, and many noblewomen and young girls are willing to dance with him.

It's a pity that dancing is really just dancing, Americans are also very conservative in this era, and Su Ming always feels that it is a bad omen to make a romantic thing on a luxury cruise ship.

The male and female protagonists fell in love on the Titanic, so the ship sank.

The male and female protagonists fell in love on the Poseidon, so the ship sank.

The hero and heroine fell in love on the Great Britain, so the ship sank again.

These luxury cruise ships used to be known as the fastest and safest in the world, and the captain of the ship Su Ming was on was also told to him when he got on the ship Therefore, the place where Su Ming appears the most is the gym, there is no one here most of the time, and now people's health concept is only limited to sleeping and eating well, and the design of the cruise ship has a gym is ahead of its time, but it is mainly for billiard tables and tennis courts.

All the equipment in it, as a first-class distinguished guest, he can use it casually.

It's a pity that the barbell here is not a modern barbell, which can be weighted by a disc, but two large iron balls welded at both ends of an iron rod, weighing only 100 kilograms, which is a little lighter for Su Ming.

The level of exercise of an ordinary person is of little use to him, but it is better than nothing.

Su Ming planned to take advantage of the long journey to exercise, and by the way, to develop his new abilities, X metal is also a new thing for Deathbell.

However, the cookie-cutter days didn't provide him with much inspiration, and he only found a few applications these days, but none of them worked.

For example, he can remove the bones of a hand, turning the flesh into a boneless holster, but this ability can only be used to get rid of the handcuffs.

But who can shackle the death knell?

Even if he was handcuffed, it would have been easier for him to break the handcuffs directly.

And he can control the X metal to flow through the skin into the keyhole, forming a key to open the lock, which is more useful, but isn't it faster to blow it up with C4 or break the door with the Nightfall Greatsword?

There are also a few gems given to him by Dr.

Manhattan, no matter how you look at them, they are all ordinary stones, and there is no clue at all about the energy that is good.

He had tried many methods, such as pinching it in his hand and communicating with his mind, or smearing it with his own blood, but the gems were still gems, lifeless.

Then he wondered if it was for food.

So he tried soaking in water with gemstones, making soup, and using a small steel mill to beat the powder, but this thing is not cordyceps, they are extremely strong, and they are not eaten at all.

He had burned these gems with fire, with electricity, and with the night's sword.

With the exception of the Nightfall Greatsword, which turns it into two smaller gems, all other means are ineffective.

And the small gem was conjured up, the original gem was oval, and as soon as Su Ming went down with a sword, it became two oval gems that were one size smaller.

There were no sword marks, no sound of shattering, they were separated, but they were still unusable.

At the moment, it seems that all existing means are ineffective except for X metal to cure them, but what does Manhattan mean when he says that these things will guarantee his survival in any world?

In other words, Dr.

Manhattan thinks that Su Ming can survive even in a primitive society without people with them, but at present, it seems that these things cannot be used at all.

It should be something that I haven't thought of yet, Su Ming has already regarded it as a long-term subject, there is no danger at the moment, and they are not needed for the time being, and when there is a quantum computer in the future, maybe they will be able to crack their secrets.

The days were spent in exercise and research, and after nearly a month, Su Ming came to the deck with all his belongings.

In the distance, the Statue of Liberty could already be seen, and from afar, it looked like she was actually standing on the sea.

New York has arrived.

The Statue of Liberty was built in 1884 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the United States and has always been a symbol of New York and was given to the United States by the French.

She stood three kilometres outside the mouth of the Hudson River, and all ships entering and leaving New York would have passed by her, but it was not nighttime, otherwise the torch in her hand could still be seen.

The long journey is more familiar to the passengers, who are now busy saying goodbye or agreeing to meet next time, but more often than not, they are sighing and quickly pouring more wine into their stomachs.

Why is this happening?

Because the period from 1921 to 1933 was the era of national prohibition in the United States, in layman's terms, the era of Prohibition.

The American Puritans of this era were numerous, they were pure-hearted, down-to-earth and laborious, and did not engage in any pleasures, and they were the most conservative of the English Catholic faction against entertainment, and they did not even celebrate Christmas in the most extreme period of their history.

You know, it's their birthday However, times have changed, and in the 20th century, with the rapid development of science and technology, more Americans have become accustomed to taking a car when they go out, making phone calls at work, and going to bars after work, and living a more modern and diverse life.

In other words, entertainment has become a trend in society, and no one wants to live an ascetic life anymore.

I have money and leisure, but it is not in line with the doctrine to buy a gramophone to listen to songs at home, isn't this sick?

As a result, young people are less reluctant, or more secular.

So can the church, as the ruling class, be satisfied?

Of course not, they mobilized their forces, united legislators everywhere, and passed the Prohibition Act in Congress by a majority vote, known as the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, making Prohibition a part of the U.S.

Constitution.

The bill stipulates that from the end of 21, it will be an offence to manufacture and sell liquor in all federal states, as will it be an offence to transport liquor, and drinking alcohol in public will be an additional offense.

Violators are subject to heavy fines and more than half a year's hard labor.

However, Hawaii is not a federal state now, and the cruise ship that Su Ming took belonged to the Hawaiian Ocean Company, and they did not have to follow the laws of the federal states.

But when the passengers come ashore, then they are on New York State soil, and if they want to have another sips, they will have to go out into the alleys at night like spies to get drinks.

It has to be said that laws that go against the laws of the times cannot last forever, and Prohibition may have been very popular when it was introduced, but it was finally repealed.

People need leisure and entertainment, and in 1929 the United States will usher in the Great Depression because of the stock market crash, people will lose their jobs and houses, the bodies of Wall Street jumpers will not have time to collect, and they will not even be able to buy alcohol to numb themselves, which is too anti-human.

So at the end of 1932, Democratic candidate Franklin D.

Roosevelt put forward his campaign manifesto, which included the repeal of Prohibition, in which he promised that after he became president, everyone would be free to drink.

In that year, he won a majority vote in 42 of the 48 states, and entered the White House by a crushing margin, becoming the 32nd president of the United States, and he served four consecutive terms, the only one in American history.

As for the reason, it is difficult to say whether it was because he won World War II or lifted Prohibition Surrounded by the atmosphere of parting and the smell of alcohol, Su Ming set foot on the land of New York, which will be where he lived for a long time to come.
