The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin
1714 Sun in the North
"Boss, can't we go any further?" a thin sailor on the merchant ship "Seed" sailing in the southern ocean suggested in a low voice.
"Why?" asked the captain of the Seed.
"Look at the sun. Did we go the wrong way?" The thin sailor pointed at the sun and said. The captain looked up at the sun at this time.
"What's wrong?" asked the captain.
"That's not right." The captain reacted quickly after seeing the sun.
"The sun. Why is the sun behind us? It should be in front of us." The captain realized the problem at this time.
"Yes. Some time ago, the sun was still in front of us. In the past few days, the sun has suddenly been behind us. Did we go wrong?" The thin sailor asked at this time.
"This." The captain didn't know the reason.
"Go, thin man, bring the first mate over. I want to ask him what's going on?" the captain said worriedly at this time. The biggest difficulty in sailing is to figure out the direction. If the direction is wrong, then they will all be together.
An error occurred.
"The sun is in the south. If this is the case, then the north is in front of us. We have been walking south." The captain thought to himself.
"Did we go the wrong way?" The captain was shocked.
"That's not right. We have been walking south. And there is nothing we have seen in the past few days. If we come back, we will not encounter this problem." The captain thought to himself.
"Captain, what's going on?" The first mate quickly walked to the captain's side.
"Let's go in and talk. This is not the place to talk." The captain said politely. If the sailors knew that they were going in the wrong direction, their morale would drop a lot. In order to avoid this happening, the captain and the first mate talked about this in private.
something.
"How is that possible?" the first mate exclaimed.
"How could we be heading north? In that case, wouldn't we just go back?" the first mate shouted.
"Calm down." The captain waved his hand.
"Captain, you can look at the compass, our route is indeed heading north," the first mate said.
"I admit this. It is indeed the case." The captain looked at the compass and said.
"But, the sun, why is the sun behind us? If we go south, why is the sun in the north? This... this is incredible." The captain couldn't explain the reason, so he waved his hand.
"Captain, it's not because the compass is wrong, right?" the first mate said, looking at the captain.
"Well, you can take a few more compasses and have a look, by the way. Also, find a magnet. Let's make one ourselves and see." The captain said cautiously. He really couldn't figure out this issue. If it's true,
If the compass is broken, then they are really wrong.
The first mate left quickly. The captain carefully checked the logbook and pondered the reason.
Then the first mate brought more compasses. The captain and the first mate carefully compared the compasses. All the compasses were in the same direction. The compasses showed that they were sailing south, but the sun was the indicator.
The sun was actually behind them, in the north. They really couldn't figure out the reason for this.
"Captain, we are going to the south. You have also seen several islands around here. We have indeed never been there. And the vegetation on them is different from what we have seen before." The first mate looked at the captain and said.
arrive.
"I know all this, but the sun doesn't move. Why did it go to the north all of a sudden?" At this time, the captain was sure that they were indeed going that way, because all the maps in the logbook were consistent.
.This means that they did not make a mistake. If they did not make a mistake, they would not be wrong. But the sun, why is the sun in the north? This really makes the captain puzzled.
"Captain." The first mate looked at the captain, wanting the captain to continue explaining the situation.
"Let's do this," the captain said.
"Let's look at a few more islands and then go back and check the situation," the captain said.
"Yes." The first mate nodded at this time. In fact, this is a piece of geographical knowledge, because most of the Korean merchant ships used to be north of the equator, using the sun as a reference. However, as they went south
As time passed, they crossed the equator. When they used the sun as a reference again, they suddenly found that the sun was in the north. In an agricultural civilization, the sun was
It is motionless and unchanging. And the fact that the sun suddenly moved to the north made them at a loss. The captain and first mate only knew a few geographical knowledge, but they didn't know much about the overall geographical knowledge.
Not only that. Although the people of Qin knew some geographical knowledge, they could not confirm the occurrence of this phenomenon. This also led to such a scene.
The South Korean Kuainu, sailing in the north, slowly followed the North Pacific Ocean currents to a place unknown to them.
"This kind of sailing is really comfortable." The captain said to the second mate.
"Yes, sir." the second mate said happily. The captain and the second mate were lying on the front deck basking in the sun. The sun was shining brightly here. Plus the ocean current, they didn't know why. Even if they didn't raise the sail, they would still be there.
They can sail. They don't know about the ocean currents, but they know that as long as the sea is calm, it will be fine. In this way, they can directly reach an unprecedented place.
"Second mate, how long have we been sailing?" asked the captain.
"I don't know, Captain? I think it's been about half a month," the second officer said.
"That's right. Before, we always encountered some storms or something unsatisfactory. I worry every day that such good weather is really rare." The captain said happily.
"Yes, Captain. We should enjoy this moment." the second officer said.
"But, how long will it take for us to reach land here? If we can't find land, our first mate will be very anxious." The captain said.
"Hi." The second mate saw the first mate coming up at this time.
"Sir, would you like a drink?" the second officer asked, holding Qin Guo Liquor.
"No. I want to say a few words to the captain." The first mate said politely.
"Okay. Let's talk." the captain said.
"We are running out of supplies. We still have three or four days of fresh water. There has been no rain in the past few days. We need to find an island to replenish our fresh water. Otherwise, we will have to drink our urine." The first mate said no.
Said politely.
"Oh, I see. Don't we still have wine?" the captain said to the first mate.
"Okay, my first mate," the captain said.
"Food, we can eat some fish, fresh water, I will find a way. Be optimistic." The captain said.
"The other thing is that our people have some diseases. They need treatment." The first mate said worriedly.
"Yes. I understand." The captain nodded.
"Captain, I'm going to go get busy," the first mate said, and then left.
"Look at a lot of things," said the captain.
"Captain." The second mate looked at the captain and said.
"Do you think our voyage was right?" the captain asked.
"Yes, sir," the second officer said.
"Well, that's very good," the captain said.
"I believe we are right. We must be right," the captain said.
The Western Regions of Qin State.
"Damn it. These damn cavalry have appeared again." Major Bai, the supreme commander of Little Stone Fortress, said while looking at the enemy situation.
"Sir, something is wrong. They don't seem to be part of the army from the Western Regions." A second lieutenant officer observed.
"What? If they are not from the Western Regions, are there others?" Major Bai cursed loudly.
"Sir, they are definitely not from the Western Regions. The cavalry from the Western Regions would not be so numerous and so neat. The troops from the Western Regions would not be so well-trained," the second lieutenant said.
"Let me take a look." Major Bai then saw.
"Yes." Major Bai nodded.
"Could it be the unknown army that came from the small mountain fort before?" Major Bai said.
"Sir, it seems that they have bypassed the hill fort." the second lieutenant said.
"No matter what, stop them and never let them cross over casually." Major Bai ordered.
"Yes, sir." The second lieutenant agreed. At this time, the Qin army had already entered combat mode. The defense system of the small stone fortress exceeded 500 people. The defense system was very complete. But the army only stayed far away from the small stone fortress.
They had fought against the Qin army in the distance. They knew that the opponent was very difficult to deal with, so they avoided it from a distance. They just watched from a distance and did not take the initiative to attack.
The two sides faced each other coldly.
"Gentlemen?" Shangwen said while standing in the main hall. This is a routine court meeting. Although Shangwen does not need to come to court every day. Because a large number of economic affairs need to be handled by Shangwen, considering the special situation, King Qin agreed.
. But before the end of the month, the Qin State will hold a court meeting to focus on solving outstanding issues, but there are not too many outstanding issues. Every time, Shangwen feels like he is making some statements in Congress.
"I know that you think Qin should not help Zhao, but we must help Zhao." Shangwen said to everyone.
"It's not my personal reason, it's a real situation. We need to do this, unification, and it can be achieved without necessarily using force. Economy, especially money, huge funds are also effective weapons. This kind of weapon is invisible and can kill the enemy. At the same time
, it can also kill the enemy's heart, which is much easier to use than those powerful weapons." Naofumi said.
After hearing what Naofumi said, all the ministers sighed and expressed that they did not understand Naofumi's point.
"Quiet. Prime Minister, keep talking." King Qin said calmly and listened patiently to Shang Wen's explanation.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Naofumi said with a salute.
