Zheng Fei turned his head and saw that it was Da Vinci.

"Hmm, why did you come out?" he wondered, knowing that this kid couldn't even drag his research on it.

"I encountered a problem that I couldn't solve, and I came out to breathe. Da Vinci chewed on the candy and said bitterly.

Without waiting for Zheng Fei to ask, he complained: "According to what you said, I can measure the angle between the sun and the horizon, but I still can't determine where we are, because I don't know where the sun is on the earth."

"Wait!"

Zheng Fei suddenly had a stirring and said, "Can you measure the angle between the sun and the horizon?"

"Well, but"

"Get your tools out and measure them every minute!" Then he shouted into the mountain stream, "Hans, bring up the clock, quick!"

The sailors seldom saw the captain so anxious, and da Vinci did so at once, and Hans hurried to the cave where the storehouse was used, took out the few large clocks of the fleet, and quickly climbed to the top of the hill.

The scales of several clocks are basically accurate, and Zheng Fei asked da Vinci to take measurements every minute, and he was responsible for recording the angles and corresponding moments.

The angles are increasing, and they are still increasing, and da Vinci is tirelessly taking measurements, and Zheng Fei jù on parchment.

During the hottest part of the day, the two were exposed to the sun, sweating, but extremely focused.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, finally, the angle decreased.

When he wrote down this number, Zheng Fei's hand trembled, and the angle kept decreasing for the next few measurements.

He exhaled a sigh of relief, poured a pour-out of cool water, stroked his chest happily, and smiled: "Da Vinci, don't test. ”

After receiving this instruction, da Vinci was directly paralyzed, picked up a pot of cold water and poured it on his head, panting for hot air again and again.

"Captain, you can kill me, what are you going to do after testing for so long?"

"Confidentiality. Zheng Fei smiled slyly and said to Guan Zi.

"Cut~"

Sin is not in vain, through nearly two hours of hard work, Zheng Fei came up with the current longitude.

The clock was made by craftsmen in Lisbon, and when it was in Lisbon, the hands pointed to 12 o'clock at noon, corresponding to the maximum angle of the sun and the horizon.

Now, the maximum angle corresponds to 1 p.m., an hour late, and the current longitude is 15 degrees west of Lisbon.

The longitude of Lisbon is 15 degrees west longitude, and after counting all kinds of errors, it should be about 30 degrees west longitude at present.

In the Atlantic Ocean, the northern hemisphere, 30 degrees west longitude, volcanoes, hot springs, this information is enough for Zheng Fei to determine the location of this island - the Azores!

The Azores, about a third of the distance of the Americas in western Portugal, became an important supply point for the Atlantic route after being discovered by Portuguese navigators in the fifteenth century.

The islands are shrouded in mystery, and no one knows exactly who discovered them and when. There is a romantic legend that an angel threw a flower from the sky, and nine petals fell one after another, turning it into a beautiful home for the islanders.

The wooded and exotic Azores are located at the westernmost point of Europe. (Lisbon is the westernmost point of continental Europe and is not the same.) ）

Zheng Fei has been here more than once, but not necessarily the island at his feet.

Voted one of the best tourist islands in the world by National Geographic Travel Magazine, the Azores welcomes countless tourists from all over the world every year.

As the captain of the St. Hurens, Zheng Fei certainly took guests here, and in some years he came several times a year, mostly to dock at Angra Heroísmo.

Terceira is one of the liveliest in the Azores, and the thriving town of Terceira, Porto Sangra, founded in the 16th century on the southern shore of Terceira, has an indescribable charm that attracts whalers, small traders and treasure hunters from all over the world to wander the cobbled streets.

Boat dwellers may spend a leisurely afternoon sipping espresso in a café in an ancient square, peeking through a long glass window at a long-legged beauty in a short skirt on the street and imagining themselves pinching her sexy ass.

There are several Lisbon cod fishing boats on the shore, which are activated at night or early in the morning when it is cooler to go out to fish.

The local housewives, because of the pleasant climate here, are still charming even at the age of forty, and when their husbands are not at home when they go to sea, they are happy to invite the pilots of the NATO Lazhsh air base on the island to their homes, bring them a bottle of red wine, cook two steaks themselves, and enjoy life leisurely.

Angra Sanstomo Sanstomo also preserves the Portuguese trading warehouse, the two fortresses of the Church of San Sebastian and the Baptist of St. John the Baptist, which form the main framework of the port, a large number of churches and monasteries of 16th-century Baroque architecture, closely intertwined to form the urban complex.

Next to the painted wooden balcony, there may be three or two beautiful girls, holding their snow-white arms, with their sweet smiles to welcome visitors from all over the world.

Due to the volcanic hot springs in the Azores, the use of geothermal heat is a must, and the rice, sausages and vegetables are mixed with spices and placed in a wooden barrel with holes around them, and the small holes in the surface are steamed, and the steam tank is steamed for several hours on end.

Many travelers come here for the name of this lava barbecue, and when they come here, they can't do without eating roast chicken, and of course, roast suckling pig roast whole sheep.

Leaving the bustling city and going a little further afield, the most common is the craggy rocky cliffs on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, where the sea is deserted, and the sea is unpredictable from the vantage point

All in all, the Azores are a treasure island with great development value!

Zheng Fei stood up straight, picked up the binoculars to look at the coast in the distance, and smashed his mouth in satisfaction.

Just because of this style, it is necessary to turn this island into its own base, not to mention that it has such good climatic conditions and mineral resources, leaving some people to develop it, not only to create zào wealth, but also to reduce the burden on the fleet.

His development plan, before reaching the Americas, was launched!

However, there was one thing that made him think deeply, the Azores are a maximum of ten days from the Portuguese coastline, and his fleet has been drifting for more than a month, and it seems that there is no shortage of circles.

It was always a bit unsafe to turn this place into a colony, because the Portuguese navy only had to sail west for ten days to get here, which was too close.

So, before developing, you have to be prepared for defense!

[Something unpleasant happened at night, just two watches, and I'll make it up tomorrow, no wonder, good night everyone.] 】
