Chapter 447: The Sea
From the moment you decide to go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone has one more homework, riding a bicycle.
After all, there are some differences between the bicycles produced in Jinmaicheng and those in Chang'an Shaofu.
The materials used in the Shaofu of Chang'an City are exquisite, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, while the structure of Jinmai City is reasonable, at least to maintain balance, it is not so difficult.
This batch of bicycles was first completed in Chang'an, and then processed in Jinmaicheng.
Everyone says it's the perfect bike.
Some workshops even decided to follow up.
Qian Rujun did not object. The world can progress, and Qian Rujun is still optimistic.
However, she felt that the people in Shaofu probably didn't speak so well.
Of course, Qian Rujun was not stupid enough to ride a two-wheeled bicycle to set off. Instead, they were required to ride on narrower wheels, but they were still single-handed.
When the time comes, the bicycles are gathered and covered with a cloth, which is the best tent.
At this time, the road was out of the sphere of influence of Jinmai City, and it was really not suitable for riding a two-wheeled bicycle.
It's just to pick ginseng, not to attack the city. Qian Rujun still dared to bring some Jinmai City people. After transferring 200 people with Chen Chudong to follow, Qian Rujun headed north.
If you go all the way by land, Qian Rujun will be stupid.
In addition to Xuetang Island, Qian Rujun now has Cotton Spinning Island in the north, as well as Qinhuangdao. The two islands are less strenuous and have basically started production. It's just the first engine, which hasn't been produced yet. They are still moving forward in defeat.
Qian Rujun set off on a boat, with their bicycles on the boat, and the progress relied on people's oars.
Qian Rujun felt lucky and did not decide to go to the south. If you go to the south, this oar will have to be rowed to death. It seems that until the steam engine or the electric engine is made, don't think about going south through the monsoon.
Although the sailboat is quite useful. But it is too much controlled by the season. Qian Rujun urgently has a sense of control. Even under the control of nature, Qian Rujun wants to be free.
As for the electric engine, it is probably because Jinmaicheng uses wires, which gives people a kind of inspiration.
They want to do it, but Qian Rujun has no reason not to admit that they will do it. Perhaps, it was Qian Rujun himself who learned that the engine should start with steam, but forgot that the engine can also be started with electricity.
Just to keep the engine running, it needs countless times more electricity than electric lights and the like. The demand for batteries is on the agenda again. It's just that what they need is no longer a small battery, but a large-capacity battery.
If you want to improve, you always seem to have to make a little sacrifice. Qian Rujun likes to look at the stars in the sky more and more. The appearance of this starry scene, which is different from the space, sometimes makes her feel in a trance that every time she enters the space, it is a time to cross.
Perhaps the teleportation array in the ancient story did exist. It's just that in Dahan, she doesn't seem to have heard of any legends of the teleportation array.
Perhaps, it was time for her to ask the people of Golden Wheat City to collect some folk tales.
Thinking of some of the ancient poems of Yuefu collected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, perhaps, she should do this.
She won't lose money if she does this.
Because she can print or write books and sell them.
These books are not easy to sell, she can sell them cheaper. It's basically still earned.
She felt that the world without stories was too boring.
However, the slow speed of the boat made Qian Rujun wonder if it would be faster to ride a bicycle slowly on land.
Qian Rujun did not stick to the shoreline. At least, the land-based people did not find out that they had gone to sea.
If you can't see land, people in this era can't discern the direction, and the most terrible thing about getting lost at sea is that they don't know how to sail into the deep sea.
Although Qian Rujun is not very clear. Because there are too many things about satellite positioning in later generations, they have also been taught how to distinguish between east, west, north and south in the era of learning.
Since Jinmai City opened a route from Jinmai to Xuetang Island, it naturally needs to know how to distinguish the direction at sea.
Qian Rujun also changed a set of constellation navigation methods. Fortunately, the starry sky during the Han Dynasty was beautiful and bright. They can easily find the constellation Polaris in the sky.
After meeting the teaching needs, all the people were divided into six batches to learn horoscope navigation.
For these teenagers and girls, it is a strange experience to be able to sail on the sea, in a place where there is no way to discern the direction. Therefore, all the people study very seriously. Learn the best five, skip paddling, and devote yourself to recording and converting the range and bearings.
Qian Rujun changed a map of the Han Dynasty to them. This picture is not an ink painting of the Great Han, but a drawing that is really drawn according to some kind of map law.
In order for them to learn, the initial itinerary was slow.
For the ships of this era, the most difficult thing was the supply of drinking water, as well as the replenishment of green food. For Qian Rujun, none of this is a problem.
However, she still asked all the students to plant a lot of green vegetables in the place around the boat.
In the cabin, there are rice grains, as well as potatoes and radishes that can be stored for a long time, these crops are not available in the Han Dynasty. Qian Rujun gave the seeds and planted them.
Although the era was much earlier, these crops grew well. What's even more exciting is that they can be planted on land that would otherwise not be able to grow food, improving soil quality.
Qian Rujun told the farmers she could tell that one crop in a place will not grow well after a long time, and fertilization is one thing, but it is better to rotate crops.
They can't give up the fields, but these newly developed vegetable fields can be tried.
Farmers near the city are slowly discovering that the benefits from vegetable fields are better than those from grain fields.
However, the land tax collected by the Han Dynasty is a tax in kind, and if the family does not grow grain, when it is time to pay the tax, the price of grain will become higher, and they will still suffer in the end.
Qian Rujun didn't think about any interests, but just wanted to tell the students about the precautions for sailing at sea.
"Someone overboard!" shouted out.
The people of Jinmaicheng live by the sea and live in the city with channel transportation. It's natural to know water.
They are no strangers to swimming.
And this group of students come from all over the world, and there are only a very few people from Jinmaicheng. The people of Jinmaicheng are fundamentally easy to be eliminated. Life is good, and the ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is not enough. Ten-year-olds are not easy to follow the words of their elders.
And what the school teaches is a little too low for the students of Jinmai City. No wonder they were negligent.
For them, it is not normal to be able to swim, it is normal not to be able to. Although the itinerary of the settlement, among the necessary conditions, the most important is the water source. But some water sources are not suitable for swimming.
Several students jumped down like rainbows. By the time Qian Rujun got the news, two students had already perished.
