The Golden Compass
Andre used an extremely excited tone to ask, "Xia Fei, you can read the Atlantean language?!"
Xia Fei nodded his head. Xia Fei had experienced the magic of the AI translation chip more than once. Regardless of the language, even if it was an obscure poem, it would be able to accurately translate it.
The words on the golden plate might be complicated, but there were plenty of complicated words in the universe. If the AI translation chip could accurately translate the majority of the languages and words in the universe, there was no reason why it couldn't decipher the Atlantean language.
Andre was speechless. Countless experts and scholars couldn't understand the Atlantean language, yet Xia Fei was able to decipher it so easily.
"This thing was found in an ancient tomb near Greece. The Golden Stinger was placed beside it. After a precise analysis by the supercomputer, we determined that this is a disguised map." Andre said.
"Please wait for a moment." Andre stood up and made a call. Not long later, an old scholar in his seventies came into the room.
"This is Professor Wang Baishan who specializes in the history of Atlantis. Xia Fei, explain the meaning of this passage to Professor Wang." Andre introduced.
Xia Fei then explained the meaning of the passage to Wang Baishan. Wang Baishan was very excited, "Where did you learn this language? The Atlantean language is complicated and ever-changing. After so many years, none of the scholars who studied the history of Atlantis have been able to decipher this language. How did you do it?"
Xia Fei casually made a lie and then deliberately changed the topic, "Professor Wang, what is this map? What is its use? "
Wang Baishan said, "This is a map. As for whether the location on the map is the location where Atlantis sank, we don't know. Based on our current speed, we should be able to reach the location tomorrow morning. By then, all the mysteries will be revealed."
The sky had just turned bright when Xia Fei arrived on the deck. He saw Andre wrapped in a coat and standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the rising sun in the east.
"What's wrong? You can't sleep either? "Andre asked.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette, "Yeah, I'm a little excited to be able to see Atlantis soon."
"Let's go and have breakfast with me." Andre patted Xia Fei's shoulder and said.
The three underwater robots were placed in the sea. The Storm Goddess was bustling with activity, and everyone was filled with anticipation.
The image of the seabed was transmitted to the monitoring room, and a dozen pairs of nervous eyes stared at the monitor without blinking.
"There seems to be something over there!" a researcher with glasses shouted.
Under the flat surface of the sea, there was a huge irregular protrusion. Its surface was covered with seaweed and sand, making it very eye-catching.
The underwater robot hurriedly moved forward and cleaned up the mud bit by bit with a water spray gun.
Ten minutes later, people finally saw clearly that there was only a rock under the sand.
The exploration team was not discouraged and continued to search carefully at the bottom of the sea.
The first day was fruitless. Everyone was looking forward to the second day.
On the second day, there was still no harvest. People began to look forward to the third day.
On the third day, they discovered an ancient shipwreck. Other than that, there was nothing else of value. Disappointment began to spread on the Storm Goddess.
On the fourth day, there was still nothing. Dinner time became quiet, and some people even started drinking to drown their sorrows.
On the fifth day, the disappointment gradually turned into pessimism, and the situation of slacking became more and more serious. There was even a situation where two members quarreled over a small matter.
At night, Xia Fei stood at the bow of the ship and pondered quietly. The bright moon above his head was about to turn round. "The smiling face of the Moon Goddess? Phantom, what does a person's face look like when they smile? "
"When they smile, of course, it's round."
Round, round! Xia Fei seemed to have suddenly thought of something as he excitedly muttered to himself.
"Got it, Moon Goddess! War God of Massacre! "
Xia Fei sprinted along the gangway and arrived at Andre's cabin in the blink of an eye.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Xia Fei hurriedly knocked on the door of Andre's room.
"Who is it? It's so late. "
"It's me, Xia Fei."
Andre was wearing a nightgown when he opened the door. Xia Fei quickly rushed into the room and said in a deep voice, "Quickly take out that golden plate."
Andre hurriedly opened the safe. "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious. "
"Don't ask. You'll know later." Xia Fei said.
The golden plate was placed on the table. It was shining with a mysterious golden light, and the patterns on it were clear and complicated.
Xia Fei took out the Golden Stinger and gently placed it in the middle of the golden plate.
A miraculous scene appeared!
The Golden Stinger lightly trembled twice before it turned around and pointed toward the northwest direction!
Andre opened his eyes wide and intentionally suppressed his breathing. He looked very excited.
After trying a few times, the Golden Stinger would miraculously point to the northwest every time. There was no difference at all.
Andre finally couldn't help but ask with a trembling voice, "What's going on?"
"It's very simple. This Golden Stinger and this golden plate are a single entity. It's a set of compasses that are used to point directions." Xia Fei said.
"Compasses!" Andre searched his body, trying to find a cigarette to ease his nervous mood.
Xia Fei took out half a box of Hongtashan cigarettes and passed one over. Andre received it with trembling hands and lit it up.
"How did you find out?"
"The answer is written here." Xia Fei pointed at the golden plate that was covered with patterns and said, "Whenever the Moon Goddess smiles, the shattered door will open. The path to the Hidden Realm will require the guidance of the War God of Massacre."
"The true meaning of this poem is that on every full moon night, a door to the Hidden Realm will open at a certain place. To reach the Hidden Realm, one must rely on the guidance of this Golden Stinger."
"This golden plate and the Golden Stinger were found at the same place, so they are basically a single entity and should be used together."
"Then how do you explain this map?" Andre asked nervously.
"There's no such thing as a map!" Xia Fei said loudly, "I don't know how you guys classified these lines as a map, but in my opinion, these patterns are no different from the patterns on the Golden Stinger. It's merely a decoration."
Andre hugged his head with both his hands and seemed to be very confused. After all, this sudden discovery had disrupted all his previous thoughts, so it was normal for his thoughts to be in a mess.
"Stop hesitating and immediately order the captain to turn around. The night of the full moon is tomorrow night."
"Okay!" Andre threw away the cigarette butt and went to the desk to make a call to the steering cabin. "Captain David, I'm Andre. I order you to immediately turn the ship around and head northwest."
The sea was calm, and a bright moon was slowly rising up.
This sea region was the location indicated by the Golden Stinger. At this moment, there was no other way other than quietly waiting for the shattered door to open.
The members of the Storm Goddess were extremely nervous. Everyone was gathered on the deck, wanting to witness that magical scene with their own eyes. Even the chef was no exception.
Xia Fei and Wu Long stood side by side at the bow of the ship. Beneath their feet were densely packed cigarette butts. It was obvious that both of them were also very nervous.
"What exactly is this shattered door referring to? Could it be that a door can appear out of thin air in this sea? "Wu Long spat into the sea and asked.
Xia Fei shook his head. Who am I supposed to ask if you're asking me, but I have a feeling.
"What feeling?" Wu Long asked anxiously.
"Atlantis might not have sunk into the sea," Xia Fei said softly.
Wu Long was slightly stunned. "If it didn't sink into the sea, why would it disappear into thin air?"
