Chapter 280 The Atlantic on

Subtitle of this chapter: An incense-listened rower.

………………………………………

Friday, June 10, 1921, Dragon Boat Festival.

"Come on, everyone, try it. This is our 'ZONG ZI' of the Cyris."

"Albert, why do we Cyris eat this food?"

"In the third century BC...well, it was Ptolemy II, the monarch of the Ptolemy dynasty in Egypt, who summoned more than 70 Jews who knew Greek and concentrated on the time point in the Old Testament..."

"Thank you, Mr. Weitzmann. This is not very profound. I just like reading."

"At that time, a wise man from a vassal state in our south of Serris was exiled from the court, but the bad people in power still refused to let him go. So they sent people to chase the wise man. They chased him on a river, and later it turned into a custom called a rowing... Well, that 'dragon boat'."

"When you catch up with this wise man, the killers put him in a sack... Well, just like the 'ZONG ZI' you see now, throwing it into the river."

"So, in order to commemorate him, we Cialis have the custom of eating rice dumplings."

"Neo, do you mean it's like the Christian communion?"

Our Master Yuan couldn't help but think carefully after hearing this question from the great scientists.

In the history of Christianity, there are many debates about the ritual of communion. There are disputes between Catholicism and Protestantism, and there are disputes between various denominations within Protestantism.

There are different regulations for whoever can break the cake and whoever can get the cake.

And this bread and cup are the body of the Lord and the precious blood of the Lord, and they still symbolize the body of the Lord and the precious blood of the Lord. Many sects and churches will produce dog brains.

Well, if you think about it this way, whether the rice dumplings should be sweet or salty, long or short, flat or square, stuffed or solid, or sugar-dipped or non-sweetened... The debate among the Cialis will also splash around.

It can be seen that the Communion and Dragon Boat Festival are the same thing!

"Albert, you're right, these two are really similar."

"oh……"

When the great scientist heard this, he solemnly peeled off the rice dumpling leaves and began to enjoy Cyris's "Communion" seriously.

And they were already on a luxury cruise ship called "Olympic".

In fact, this ship is the sister ship of the "Titanic". The two have very similar appearances and are also affiliated with the British White Star Steam Company. There is also a super cruise ship in this series called "Britania".

Before the completion of the Titanic, the Olympic was the largest cruise ship in the world at that time, with an astonishing displacement of 45,324 tons.

However, the "Olympic" is so lucky that it is invincible than its unlucky sister.

In September 1911, shortly after she left Southampton Port, she collided with the Royal Navy cruiser "Hawke" in the waters near the Isle of Wight.

You know, this cruiser is still equipped with a corner collision. It did not hit the "Olympic", so it won her the title of "Reliable Old Man".

The captain at that time was Edward Smith, the captain of the "Titanic".

Logically speaking, the rear-end collision should be the full responsibility, but the British favored their own navy and determined that the White Star Shipping Company would bear all the losses in the accident. This judgment caused problems in the White Star Company's financial situation and had to reduce some of the construction costs of the "Titanic", so...

What I heard was that when the Titanic sank, the Olympics were nearby. After receiving the telegram, they rushed to the site of the incident. However, when they met the Capatia carrying the survivor the next day, the captain flatly refused the suggestion to transfer the survivor to the Olympics.

Because he was worried that doing so “will scare survivors, because they would be asked to board a ship that looks almost exactly the same as the Titanic.”

During World War I, the "Olympic" was converted into a transport ship to the American Expeditionary Force who were rushing to Europe. Then one by one happened.

At 4:30 am on May 12, 1918, when the Olympics carrying the 59th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army was sailing towards the Port of Southampton in Britain, they encountered the German submarine U-103.

The German submarine officers and soldiers were slower by a beat and could not keep up with the Olympic speed of more than 20 knots. When the report of "torpedo tube ready" came, the Olympic had already entered the shortest safe distance of the torpedo. In order to fight for the opportunity to launch another attack, the submarine captain ordered the submarine to turn to a route parallel to the target, preparing to launch another attack after the cruise ship crossed him.

At the same time, the captain of the Olympics, Bertram Fox Hayes, discovered the U-103 floating on the sea, so in desperation, he directed the Olympics to rush over and directly sank the unlucky submarine.

After World War I, the "Olympic" was transformed and continued to be put into commercial operations of the Atlantic route. Later, it hit twice, but she only killed others, and no one died on her own ship.

In the history of shipping and naval history, the illusory saying of luck still makes sense, otherwise how could there be "Snow Wind in Wugang, Sasebo Shiyu"?

But Yuan Yan, who was invincible, felt that he was quite unlucky because when he booked the cabin, he forgot Einstein and his wife and their escort, the chemist Haim Weizmann.

So in order to make up for his mistakes, he had to give up his suite to the three of them.

In this way, he had to live in one room with Louis Baker and John McCall, and the other three ladies.

This made "His Majesty the Emperor" and "The Pope's Crown" very unhappy. After getting on the ship, he was very negative about their leader, "Master Fool", and he also accompanied "His Highness" and "His Priestess" all day long.

Master Yuan, who knew that he was in the wrong, had to take his female secretary and chat with Einstein and the others.

They sat on the separate balcony, enjoying the sea view while enjoying the British-style afternoon tea, but they ate Chinese dim sum from Sister Lian.

This is the special treatment for passengers in the special cabin. They can also borrow the kitchen on the boat and let their personal chefs cook for themselves.

"Dr. Yuan, this rice dumpling is really good, especially the salty egg yolk, which tastes so amazing."

Yuan Yan suddenly smiled at Elsa Einstein and said, "Madam Einstein, you should like it. I will ask my maid to make more and let you take it back for food. This thing can be kept for a long time."
