Chapter 63: Locking the Target—Canberra
There are many historical documents, in which Si Fan carefully searches for clues according to the inertia of Basalomew Roberts's thoughts. ()
It's still the same ordinary laboratory, it's still the safety professors, they've been reading the books for more than a week, almost every word of them has been cut out and carefully pondered, every detail will not be abandoned, and the sentences and fragments about the possible existence of ageless Ganges sand are all taken out and listed separately in a separate record.
On such days, day after day, and even in the end, they repeatedly scrutinized the details, and added some possible insinuations.
But even so, it only lists about a dozen pages.
A whole book of golden coffins lists these.
According to the Hebrew Bible, the sands of the Ganges River were actually left by God on the lost continent, waiting for the Son to regain and go to another vast land. ”
This is a record found by a professor, and he said it very generally, what is a vast piece of land, is it a hundred hectares of land or a hundred thousand square kilometers?
There is no basis for this translation.
It's just a very general description, and this so-called another land can be interpreted as an island, or another continent.
What do you think of the American continent?
Si Fan really wanted to complain.
Another professor pointed to the record he found and said, "According to the Pirate Secret Codex, the famous pirate king Blackbeard once reached a magical land in the ocean, where he found the magical sea water, where the soldier who lost his arm regrew new arms, the sailor who lost his eye gained new eyeballs, and he also gained magical powers to control death in the sea. ”
Of course, this is the result of his bragging, he still died, and he died very simply.
But this alone can show that this guy really seems to have been to a place where at least it will relieve people's pain, at least cure a cataract.
This is Si Fan's estimate.
There are many such legends, and there are many unreliable things among sailors, such as Blackbeard's ability to turn enemies into monsters due to his ability to turn enemies into monsters.
Such stories are very popular among sailors, they are too long when they are on the sea, there is always something to talk about, and these legendary pirates have become their fun.
Blackbeard is said the most as the Pirate King.
But it also proves that he really went to some hidden places.
That's all, Blackbeard didn't leave any clues, and he was taken to the sea with his death.
Of course, it could also be on the cross on the dock with the corpses of the pirates.
Everything was so bloody.
"These clues are still too few, and I need exact information. Si Fan said.
At this time, Professor Chen Hexin, who was very dissatisfied with his work from the beginning, fiddled with his glasses a few times and said with some doubts.
"I may have found the key clues, but I'm not sure, this guy is a bitter navigator compared to the big guys, and this book is his diary, which details what he saw and heard at sea. Old man Chen Hexin said.
Si Fan turned his head to look at him, he never thought that this professor, who was originally about to leave, really found a clue.
"Tell me about the specifics of the clues. Si Fan said.
Chen Hexin looked at Si Fan with a smile: "According to the contract agreement, if you find a key clue, you will be rewarded with 100,000 US dollars, right?"
This guy simply can't get out of the eyes of the money, making Si Fan cry and laugh, the reward of 100,000 US dollars is for the person who has contributed the most among them, but Professor Chen Hexin has not said what clues there are yet.
"That's right, there is a $100,000 award for the professor who has contributed the most, and you can tell what you have discovered, and I can guarantee that I will do what I say I will do with the $100,000. ”
Chen Hexin had Si Fan's assurance, and immediately stopped talking nonsense.
"I have received information from the journal of this navigator, that their ships have departed from Great Britain for the Chinese tributary ......," he said, with some twist.
I didn't continue for a long time.
Si Fan is in trouble now, isn't this old guy asking for money?
"If there is a clue, then 100,000 dollars will not be missing you. Si Fan repeatedly assured.
It's just that Professor Chen Hexin changed his Chinese with some embarrassment and said: "This fleet to China is not really a tribute, but on behalf of a random small country to come to our country to cheat money, they bring a boatload of local products to pay tribute, and then wait for the emperor of China to reward a boatload of treasures." ”
This explanation, Si Fan understood, the emperor at that time was rich all over the world, definitely the richest person in the world, there was no one, at that time Great Britain and Spain had to look up to China, the world's manufacturing center was not in Europe, but in this fertile soil, porcelain fired with clay to Europe was the treasure pursued by the princes and nobles, and they exchanged a lot of wealth.
At this time, I heard that there was a small barbarian country thousands of miles away and still came to worship in my own country, wouldn't I be very happy, and of course I would like to reward these messengers.
The exchange was very high back then, and it was inconvenient for you, how could the emperor know where your country was thousands of miles away, and you told the emperor where you were with your nautical diary and the map you had drawn, and that was where you were, and he couldn't confirm it.
Therefore, there were many such things back then, and this diary was just their journey to China.
However, on the way, an accident happened, they were hit by a storm on the sea, and then drifted at sea for more than two months.
For more than two months, they wandered aimlessly, and the navigator was also confused, because the navigation skills at that time were different from now, although they had certain equipment, but basically walked along the seaside, and rarely left the coast, because it symbolized death, in those days, the sea charts were very precious, that was the most precious thing on a ship.
A captain who has been sailing all his life may not make as much money as selling a nautical chart when he retires.
That's the value of exploration.
And the navigator was carried away by the storm, and many people died in two months, but they were blown to a vast continent.
In this translation, Professor Chen Hexin deliberately used the word vastness, that is, to tell Si Fan that this is where the Hebrew Bible is told.
And Si Fan also listened carefully.
Slowly, he had locked the ship's course and knew where the continent was.
Hell, where are the kangaroos? This is the place, the navigator sketches quite well, and the kangaroos are lifelike.
