Chapter 154

It can be said that taking a boat is one of the most boring things in this era, second only to digging sand in the Sahara desert. The first few days out of the sea was a bit fresh, but Su Ming soon got bored.

The sound of the waves in my ears seems never to be interrupted. It has always been a frequency in constant repetition, and it will reverberate in the dream at night.

"Shasha... Shasha... Kill... Kill..."

this makes Su Ming want to chop something when he wakes up every day.

It's very calm around the route. Whenever you go on the deck, you can see only the sky and the sea.

Although the entertainment projects on the cruise ship seem to be more high-end, they are still not interesting. The reception, dance, or poker board and cigar club are all part of the cigar club activities. They taste other people's cigarettes * * good, but people are not chimneys. This activity only lasts for a short time every day.

As for the ball, Su Ming was blind, but he was handsome and masculine. Many ladies and young girls were willing to dance with him.

Unfortunately, dancing is really just dancing. In this era, Americans are also very conservative, and Su Ming always thinks that it is a bad omen to make romance on a luxury cruise ship.

The man and woman fell in love on the Titanic, and the ship sank.

The men and women fell in love on the Poseidon, and the ship sank.

The men and women fell in love on the Great Britain, and the ship sank again.

These luxury cruise ships were once claimed to be the fastest and safest in the world, and the captain of Su Ming's boat said the same to him when he got on the ship...

therefore, the most popular place for Su Ming to appear is the gym, where no one is there most of the time. Now people's health concept is limited to good sleep. The design of cruise ship with a gymnasium is ahead of its original concept, but it is Mainly for billiards table and tennis court services.

He can use all the equipment in it as a first-class guest.

Unfortunately, the barbell here is not a modern barbell. It can be weighted by a disc. Instead, two big iron balls are welded on both ends of an iron bar. The weight is only 100kg, which is a little lighter for Su Ming.

It's better than ordinary exercise, but it's useless.

Su Ming plans to take advantage of the long journey to exercise and develop his new abilities. X metal is also a new thing for the death knell.

However, the same days did not provide him with any inspiration, these days, he only found a few applications, but no use.

For example, he can take the skeleton of a hand away and turn the flesh into a boneless leather cover, but this ability can only be used to get rid of the handcuffs.

But who can handcuff the death knell? Even if he was handcuffed, it was easier for him to break the handcuffs directly.

Besides, he can control the X metal to penetrate the skin and flow into the keyhole to form a key to unlock the door. This is more useful, but is it not faster to blast with C4 or to break the door with night sword?

There are also some gemstones given to him by Dr. Manhattan. They are all ordinary stones. There is no clue about the good energy.

He has tried many ways, such as holding it in his hand, communicating with his mind, or painting his own blood on it. However, these gemstones are still precious stones and dead.

And then he thought, is it for eating? So he tried to soak water with precious stones and make soup, but he had to use a small steel mill to make powder. But these things are not Cordyceps sinensis. They are so strong that they are not food at all.

He burned them with fire, with electricity, and with the night sword.

Except that the night sword can turn it into two smaller gems, other means are ineffective.

And that small gem is the same, the original gem is oval, Su Ming a sword down, will become two small oval gems.

There were no sword marks, no broken sounds, and they were so separated, but they were still unusable.

At present, all the current measures are ineffective except x metal, but what does Manhattan mean by saying that these things can guarantee his survival in any world?

That is to say, Dr. Manhattan thinks that with them, Su Ming could survive even in a primitive society without human beings, but it seems that these things can't be used at all.

Su Ming has already regarded it as a long-term topic. There is no danger at present. There is no need to use them for the time being. When there is a quantum computer in the future, we may be able to crack their secrets.

After nearly a month, Su Ming came to the deck with all his belongings.

In the distance, the statue of liberty can be seen. Looking at it from a distance, it seems that she is really standing on the sea.

New York is here.

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

She stands three kilometers outside the mouth of the Hudson River. All ships going in and out of New York are bound to pass by her. Unfortunately, it's not night. Otherwise, you can see the torch in her hand.Passengers are familiar with the long journey. They are busy saying goodbye or making an appointment to meet next time, but more often, they pour more wine into their stomachs with emotion.

Why is this?

Because 1921-1933 was the era of national prohibition in the United States, in popular words, it was the era of prohibition.

There were a large number of Puritans in the United States in this era. What they paid attention to was that they had little desire, worked hard and did not engage in any pleasure seeking activities. They were the most conservative and anti Entertainment Group in British Catholicism. At the most extreme period in its history, they could not even survive Christmas.

However, the times have changed. After entering the 20th century, with the rapid development of science and technology, more and more Americans have become accustomed to taking the bus when they go out, making phone calls to work, going to bars after work, and having a more modern and diversified life.

In other words, entertainment has become a social trend, and no one wants to live a life of ascetic.

I have money and leisure, so it's not in line with the doctrine to buy a phonograph and listen to songs at home. Isn't it sick?

So young people are less willing to believe in religion, or they are more secular.

Can the church, as the ruling class, be satisfied? Of course not. They mobilized their own forces and United members of Parliament from all over the country to pass the alcohol prohibition bill by a majority vote. The 18th amendment to the constitution, known as the 18th amendment, made prohibition of alcohol a part of the constitution of the United States.

The act stipulates that from the end of 21, it is an offence for all the federal states to manufacture and sell alcoholic drinks. It is also an offence to transport alcoholic drinks. Drinking in public places is even more serious.

Violators will be subject to huge fines and more than half a year's hard work.

However, Hawaii is not a "federal state". The cruise ship Su Ming took belongs to the Hawaiian ocean company. They do not have to comply with the laws of the federal states.

But when the passengers get ashore, they're on the land of New York state. If they want to have another drink, they'll have to go to the alleys to get a drink at night.

It has to be said that laws against the laws of the times can not last forever. The prohibition of alcohol may have been very popular at the beginning, but it was finally abolished.

People need leisure and entertainment. In 1929, the U.S. will usher in the great depression because of the stock market crash. People will lose their jobs and houses. The bodies of people who jumped off Wall Street will not be collected in time. If they can't even buy wine to paralyze themselves, this is too anti human.

So at the end of 1932, Democratic candidate Franklin Roosevelt put forward his campaign manifesto, which included the repeal of prohibition. He promised that he would let everyone drink freely when he became president.

In that year, he won the majority vote in 42 of the 48 states, and won the White House by crushing advantage, becoming the 32nd president of the United States. He was the only one in the history of the United States that he was re elected for four terms.

As for the reason, I can't tell whether it was because he won World War II or he untied the prohibition of alcohol...

surrounded by the atmosphere of parting and the smell of alcohol, Su Ming set foot on the land of New York, which will be the place where he will live for a long time to come.
