Chapter 37: Spitsbergen Islands (1)

"P146T1631W7814 arrived."
When Lorraine did something related to his duties, his tone became more rigid. Huang Xuan stepped on the hard land and walked out of the plane channel, which is much stronger than the rootless environment in the channel. Too.
"Where is it now?" Huang Xuan said, taking a breath of air, and said, "It's so cold."
During the speech, the whole body suddenly warmed up, and Lorraine replied: "At 1631 standard time, it is located near Longyearbyen in the Spitsbergen Islands, near the Arctic Circle. The current temperature is 2 ° C I have put an energy ring on you to keep the temperature, but it is recommended that you wear clothing quickly. "
"You asked me to wear less." Huang Xuan looked at the long-sleeved T-shirt on his body. This is still considering that the short-sleeved visual impact is too strong ... Although he no longer feels cold, Huang Xuan still fights After a cold war, stomping the feet, said: "Find someone."
"There is a lot of human activity 3 kilometers west. Also, please note that you can stay at P146 for a maximum of 84 hours."
"It's been three and a half days, and it's so complicated." Huang Xuan narrowed his neck, always feeling that he wasn't in contact with the nearby hard frozen soil, shaking his head, and striding forward in the right direction.
On the way, Lorraine began to search for plane information. This is the most important step, not only to determine the current safety, but also the key step to determine the behavior. Before the time and space shocks occurred, the environment of each plane has been fully Investigation, but in the current space-time desert environment, the data are outdated. The only hope that can be expected is the standard plane similarity. If this is also a plane that has developed through severe space-time shocks, then it is usually Will have a high degree of similarity-at this time, the desert of time and space has become an advantage. If it is in the era of large planes, where is there any similarity at all? Well, if it were not so, how could the shock of time and space happen.
As the closest human settlement to the Arctic, the Spitsbergen Islands have a pitiful plant coverage, especially in the inland areas, where there are often only a few mosses out of the land. Lorraine said there are also a large number of polar bears. The emergence made Huang Xuan leave a little thrilling.
As he walked, Lorraine began to spread the basic information of the area to Huang Xuan. The content was so numerous and complicated that he could not be bothered. He thought that if he really listened to it, then he would only have to take a few more time and space travels, history and Geography is also considered a teacher.
The Spitsbergen Islands, also known as the Svalbard Islands, belonged to the territory of Norway in the era of Huang Xuan, but at present, the owner is a Dutch.
The Netherlands in the 17th century was the most powerful country in the world, known as the "sea coachman", and Spitsbergen as its colony was also highly valued.
The air seemed to be cold. From afar, people began to hear the voice of someone speaking. Through the open field, you could see a small fishing village.
"It seems to be a bazaar." Huang Xuan hastened his pace and the energy circle has a good warming effect, but he still prefers clothes. "What's the value in the 17th century." What clothing is he already thinking about changing? Polar bear leather? Is it too heavy?
"Tulip." Lorraine's answer almost made Huang Xuan vomit blood. He suddenly remembered that he had just heard similar information. It seems that the Netherlands had been trading tulips for a period of time. People sold assets to buy tulip bulbs for hoarding, and competed to buy The newly cultivated morbid varieties made a rare tulip sold for thousands of guilders, worth 30 times the average annual income of the Dutch at that time.
Of course, this kind of madness will inevitably be ended. After the craze, those tulips that are valued by people depreciated by more than 90%, and ordinary varieties are mostly fed to animals. This is hailed as the first economic bubble in history, which has seriously affected the Dutch economic order and even economic strength. However, before the devaluation, this thing was expensive.
"Tulip is still valuable now?" Although he already knew that he was born near the Arctic Circle, Huang Xuan couldn't help asking.
"Analysis is based on the similarity of the plane, and the sales of tulips are in progress."
Huang Xuan was slightly disappointed. He knew that bringing a batch of tulips would be better than such famous products as "Forever Augustus".
Several small sailboats quickly appeared in front of Huang Xuan with three sails. This is a style that has never been seen since the electrical age. They all have their own horizontal sails, which are sewed from canvas to seam. Is vertical. The ropes tied the sails and wore them together with movable riggings. Triangular sails have not been invented yet, so the area of ​​the sails is far less than people think.
Seeing the boat coming, the people in the fishing village shouted, and then several Nordic men also came out of the low wall and saw Huang Xuan.
At this moment, their facial expressions should be shocked. Huang Xuan shrugged. If he saw a yellow man walking around in a T-shirt near the Arctic Circle, he would probably cry out. After all, a little more people can fight monsters.
"(How are you?)" Huang Xuan greeted him first, and his own Lorraine interpreted it for him. The voice was also simulated very similarly, exactly like Huang Xuan himself was speaking Dutch.
"" A man stretched out his hand and responded. Huang Xuan showed a very happy expression and asked aloud, "Hello. How far is it from Longyearbyen?"
"Just in front." A young man looked at Huang Xuan, who was approaching, and pointed to the west, saying, "Where are you from?"
"Amsterdam, my friend." Huang Xuan deliberately showed his friendliness. The famous Viking has been famous for a long time. He smiled and said: "I went to Amsterdam from Guawa Island and I am now an employee of the East India Company."
Guawa Island is today's Indonesia. As far as the Chinese are familiar, the Dutch East India Company invaded Taiwan based on Guawa Island ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Finally, Zheng Chenggong was chased out after a hundred years. But the young people in front of me obviously did n’t know where Guawa Island was, but every Dutch knew the East India Company. Hearing Huang Xuan was so familiar with the lives of the Dutch, he stood up with the middle-aged people who came later. : "If you are going to Longyearbyen, you can go with us later."
"Then thank you so much." Huang Xuan shrinked and said, "Can I change some clothes with you? I can change it with spices."
Although spices have ceased to be the legendary violence since the 17th century, but the price is still expensive, but here is located in the northernmost part of the earth, spices are more marketable in Europe. The middle-aged man shook his head, but agreed to give him a suit.
Huang Xuan accepted it embarrassedly. He can't evacuate a large amount of food from the plane channel now, but a few young people showed great enthusiasm, especially when Huang Xuan wore Shanghai leopard skin, his image changed a lot and was closer to them Too.
The previous small sailing ship brought some fish and algae, as well as a large number of shrimps, and many of them are famous Norwegian jellyfish. As far as Huang Xuan knows, they can be sold at a higher price than the broken ship that loaded them. , But now it ’s just food for the fishermen ’s leisure.
Looking at the jellyfish thrown on the ground, Huang Xuan suddenly felt refreshed, and the cold air became less thorny.
