Chapter 114: The Vanishing Leonardo da Vinci
Ares shrugged, nodded, looked at the roast chicken in Santiago's hand, and said, "Give me a bite." ”
Then, Santiago shamelessly licked the roast chicken in a whole circle, stuck out his tongue and smirked, "Do you still eat it?"
"It's disgusting," Ares gave him a blank look and went out.
"Haha, bye-bye!"
Ares returned to the deck, told the sailors to adjust the stern rudder, and then looked around for Leonardo da Vinci.
The current fleet is not as good as before, more than a dozen ships with more than 2,000 people, and the scale is huge, and it is not easy to find a good-looking kid from this.
He climbed the watchtower, picked up his binoculars, searched ship by boat, and after searching to no avail, he shouted loudly: "Da Vinci!
The rough voice swayed on the surface of the sea, and before it could penetrate people's ears, it was drowned in the noise of wind and rain.
He scratched his scalp, and had no choice but to return to Zheng Fei's cabin, and hehe was embarrassed.
"What are you smiling at?" Zheng Fei had just kicked Santiago out and thought quietly for a while when the thing popped up again.
"There were too many people to find Da Vinci"
"Don't worry, wait for the rain to stop and look for it slowly. Zheng Fei moved and continued, "He must be on the boat, right?"
"It's supposed to be a teenager, you're just a teenager, you're so concerned?"
"He's no ordinary kid. Zheng Fei bit his lip and waved his hand to signal him to go out.
If da Vinci hadn't made it, it would have been an incalculable loss.
I don't want to, let's take care of my injuries now, he watched the drizzle hit the window, closed his eyes and squinted for a while.
Two weeks later, fine.
The wound is not deep, and the recovery is very good, and you can do some light activities.
Early this morning, Zheng Fei got up very early, and he hadn't touched a woman recently, and he was full of energy.
On the deck, the sun was slowly rising above the sea level, and it seemed a little lazy, maybe Apollo had a private meeting with Venus last night.
He stood in the bow of the boat, gently moved his shoulders, and yawned deeply against the sea.
Early morning is a rare time of the day, and it is estimated that in another half an hour, the families of the descendants of the knights will wake up, and the children will cry and the old people cough, and the chatter will be endless, making the whole fleet like a large vegetable market.
He took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and spread it on the deck, it was a world chart.
Sit down, dip your fingers in your mouth, dip your saliva and straighten your arms to feel the sea breeze, which is a method that can be used by experienced people to roughly measure the strength of the wind.
At the current speed of sailing, it is now about to enter the heart of the Atlantic, and the specific latitude and longitude are unknown, so it must be measured with a sextant.
Sadly, Ares and the sailors never found da Vinci's whereabouts, and rummaged through more than a dozen ships without a trace. (Ares is now a boatswain, and the descendants of the knights are also collectively reorganized into sailors, and are ordered to swim in the sea every day.) )
The disappearance of da Vinci made Zheng Fei very disappointed, after all, he was an epoch-making scientific and technological giant, but it was a pity.
Jims was the saddest, he asked Zheng Fei more than once to give him a small sampan to go back to his son, but Zheng Fei didn't agree, not because he felt sorry for the little sampan, but because he didn't want him to die.
Without a sextant, you can't determine your current location, and if you can't determine the location, you can't choose a landing site, and if you unconsciously deviate from the route and run to northern Canada, it's funny, and there is no place to land in the ice and snow.
His ideal landing place is the Caribbean, north is full of golden North America, to the south is the unpredictable Amazon forest, and there are a large number of hot samba girls, although most of them are now indigenous, but with a little training, they will be very well-behaved, which can be regarded as a benefit to sailors who travel far and wide.
Zheng Fei himself is not good at this, he only likes Chinese or European beauties with good temperament, such as Britney.
Ahem, Britney is here.
The conditions were difficult, and there were no expensive silk satins to wear, and Britney could only wear the clothes brought by her family, which were simple, but it was difficult to hide her beauty.
She came out of the cabin, and at first glance saw Zheng Fei, who was concentrating on perfecting the chart, and immediately put a bright smile on her pretty face, lifted the hem of the linen skirt and quietly walked behind him and patted him.
"Surprise me!" Zheng Fei stroked his chest in a pretended panic and exhaled.
I've already caught a glimpse of her coming, but I just don't want to ruin her little romance.
She grinned, rubbed her palms, and said, "Wake up so early?"
"Well, it's not too early. He took a quill and repaired the coastline near Casablanca, which was in a more beautiful shape, and smiled with satisfaction.
"What would you like for breakfast?" she blinked her eyes wide in anticipation, as if she were making a birthday wish.
Zheng Fei raised his head and looked at her seriously from head to toe, so beautiful, he laughed and said, "What, you want to do it for me?"
"Yes~"
"Don't make a fuss, you haven't been in the kitchen since you were a child, have you?"
"Who said that, I gave you the food I stole at my house last time"
"Haha, forget it, let the cook do it, be safe. ”
She snorted lightly, stopped fighting, straightened her skirt and sat next to him, hugged her knees, looked at the chart sideways, and said curiously: "What are these?"
"Nautical charts. ”
"Lisbon's charts?"
He smiled and replied, "World charts." ”
"Wow, you've been all over the world?" she clapped her hands happily.
"Almost, I haven't been to Japan, but I'm not going to go. ”
"Where is Japan?"
"A small country next to Dongfang Tianchao, looks like a worm, its ambition is inflated to the point of inadequacy, and it always wants to eat the heavens that are countless times bigger than it. ”
"Hah, that's so interesting!"
I don't know when Britney's favorite thing to do is to listen to his stories, and the erudite man is always very likable and makes people feel that they have experience and stories.
Zheng Fei licked his lips, stared at her beautiful face, the long legs looming in the linen dress, and couldn't help but want to hug her and kiss her to her heart's content, but the wound had not completely healed, and the blood gushed and cracked in excitement.
I could only retract my heart, put my arm around her waist, and she obediently leaned on his shoulder, sitting side by side on the bow of the boat riding the wind and waves, watching an incomparable sunrise on this romantic Atlantic Ocean.
Soon, the family members who woke up began to chatter, disturbing their own peace.
Getting up, Zheng Fei came to the cockpit and rang the brass bell to beckon the sailors to get up.
Although there is nothing for the sailors to do, the work and rest time must be strictly controlled, and if you want to manage this large group of people, you must treat them as soldiers.
"Run for half an hour, then have breakfast!"
After giving the order, he boarded a small sampan, accompanied by Ares, and headed for the South America, ready to check the results and reform the musket.
Engineer George had been asked to stay on the South America to concentrate on the musket, and after a month, it was probably time to produce results.
If you can get a gun with an effective range of 100 meters, it will be much easier to conquer the New World.
Oh, and conquer the whole world.
