Chapter 769: Ocean Civilization

Now Qian Rujun has arrived more than 2,000 years ago, and the history of this place is only 400 years, and there are countless tragic songs in between, which Qian Rujun does not know.

Thinking that the future was about to change, Qian Rujun suddenly had a strange feeling, because if the future changed her, would she still live the same life?

The students of Gakudo Island had something to do, and happily cut wood outside, and then began to make punts.

Making a flat-bottomed boat, after Qian Rujun's simple explanation, they are already familiar with it, because it is not the first time they have taken a boat, they have done everything from canoes to big boats. It's just that their canoe did a bit of a failure, which made Qian Rujun scold, because the canoe is completely balanced.

If people row on it, the wind and waves will sway, and the boat may capsize, so they will sink, but it is not necessarily the problem of the boat, and sometimes the person sitting on it does not use the same force, and the boat may also fall.

The boat was quickly ready, although they had the power, but Qian Rujun sat on it, but did not use these power paddles, but used the aura in her body to push the ship forward, only when she felt tired would she use the power paddle to move forward, but when she used the power paddle, it was just barely maintained, not advancing or retreating, without Qian Rujun's help, it was impossible to move forward at all.

When the ship goes upstream, there are actually a lot of forks.

When Qian Rujun arrived at a fork, he let the ship enter a relatively narrow passage with his impression.

At this time, when the boat is traveling in the middle, it is very likely to be dangerous, so Qian Rujun asked the students of Xuetang Island to make a pair of relatively narrow boats in the space, which can only allow two people to sit in it, and it is flat-bottomed, but this flat-bottomed boat is not so wide.

The boat continued to move forward, and soon they noticed that the cliffs on both sides were getting steeper and steeper, and at last they saw that the cliffs on both sides were white stones.

"These stones are so beautiful, but the river here is easy to walk, and the stones on both sides can be seen so clearly, and it even feels like he is going to smash it at us at any moment, which is quite scary.

And I feel that the air here seems to be very weak, and there is a wind blowing upwards, well, princess, does that mean that you are on the right track?

Because you said we're going to take a road called Nakayoko, and there's a canyon in it, and the wind from the canyon is blowing upwards, and this place seems to be like that, but why is this place called Nakayoko? I know if it's because it's right in the middle of the island, and it runs from west to east.

It's just that this is not a road, and even if it is very crossable, only birds can fly across it, but people can't get through. ”

Seeing the white cliffs on both sides, Qian Rujun fell into memory.

Because in her impression, the cliffs on both sides are at the bottom of the valley, and she has never entered the valley before, because if he dares to do such a thing, it is estimated that he will be regarded as a victim, and many people will come out to save, and after the rescue, they will not be able to collect money from her, in the past, she was a poor person, and someone collected money from her, so she did not fight with the other party.

"If someone chiseled a path along the mountain wall with a chisel, do you think it would be impossible to connect it?"

Qian Rujun thought of the aftermath and felt a kind of sadness when he opened up the history of blood and tears in Zhongheng, how did people mobilize their labor and their hard work to open this road in such a place.

Although this road has been collapsing in later generations, people have always tried to keep it open, because it is an important connecting road in the east and west, and without this connecting road, the road on the island may be cut off at any time, and it will be too difficult to get out.

On the east coast of the island, it is not easy to have a natural harbor, and almost all the harbors are artificially excavated, so ships passing through the east coast rarely have the opportunity to dock, because if they approach the coast, they may be hit by the waves, and the ship may be in danger of hitting the cliff.

Therefore, most of the ships can only look at it from a distance when they arrive nearby.

During the Han Dynasty, if you want ships, you can't say that there are none, because during the Han Dynasty, the Roman Empire was actually very prosperous, and before the rise of the Roman Empire, there was a Greek era, and in the Greek era, there were many ships of the city-states, all of which were able to travel between islands.

If the Greek ships were to this era and collide with this Han era, perhaps the coastal zone would all become Greek territory.

The Greeks did not come to this place, first, they did not know that such a place existed, and secondly, they basically belonged to the time of rebellion against tyranny, because the countries around them were actually stronger than them, and in this case, they had to use all their strength to be able to resist a country like Persia.

Is the country of Persia stronger than the nearest country, or the country of the Han Dynasty stronger, or is the Xiongnu stronger than both countries?

Qian Rujun's analysis and comparison found that in fact, each has its own strong people, and the reason why Greece will fail is not because they did not grasp the key points of the sea, but because they have to fight against a large number of troops on land.

And each of their city-states is basically very small in number, and having 500 soldiers is already very remarkable, like the 500 warriors of Sparta is almost all their strength.

But five hundred men are easy to find in Persia, and if he thinks that five hundred men are not able to deal with you, he will send a thousand men and ten thousand men against you, so the biggest problem of the Greeks is that they live in a rough terrain and cannot gather too many people.

In other words, even if he is concerned, they will not be able to raise too many children.

In most cases, the number of people is very small, but in the case of their division, if there is a war, they have a very bad point, that is, they do not have a unified command.

Every time they went to war, they were like a cart trying to duel with Persia, but the internal strife could never stop.

In such a situation, internal strife can at any time reduce their strength.

Otherwise, the people of the Greek city-states would have been very strong, because all those who could fight the sea with their ships were overpowered.

In fact, they are more fierce and ferocious than the people who chase cattle and sheep on the steppe, if these people gather and become a force to challenge the Persians.

Persia may be slowly torn apart, but in the end it is still a big problem that the population does not produce substitution so quickly, and if the replacement population does not grow up in the same environment in Persia, it will not actually have the same ferocity, it is difficult to say.

The environment determines life, and the environment determines a person's character.

When things happen to change the way they live, maybe they lose the land that made them brave.

There may not be such conditions, and then such a character is produced, why are they fierce, because they must resist the strength of the other party when facing other strong city-states.

So if it's not strong, it will be destroyed, just like this place, a small island, as if it is a city-state, and one between the city-state and the city-state is maintained in a state of battle, so every fan here is very murderous.

As for the gentle, considerate, gentle, courteous and thrifty people that later generations thought of as non-existent in this era.

The reason why they will be gentle and frugal is because you have beaten him to fear, at this time they will not treat you as an equal enemy, at this time they can only be the weak, when the weak, you will find that they are like little sheep, take proper care, and they will help you do a lot of things.

Whether a person is fierce or not depends on whether he is forced into a desperate situation.

Walking through the canyon, you must concentrate, it is very mentally demanding, and in some cases, Qian Rujun finds that there is not enough space in front for her to pass through, at this time she can only use the suction of her feet to lift the boat up, which is very physically exhausting.

It only took half a day to spend money, and Ru Jun took the punt into the space to rest.

The students of Xuetang Island did not play a role at all at this time, because the people of Xuetang Island did not learn Qian Rujun's everything, which made her feel very frustrated at this time.

"It's really cool to do such a physically demanding thing?"

"Princess, aren't you very tired? I see that you have never sweated so much, at least when we watch you do something, it seems that you don't sweat, everything is easy, but when you walk through the canyon, you face many rocks, your expression is so focused that you don't even bother to talk to us, and sometimes I even feel that we are not sailing on the water, we are floating on the water. ”

"I can't see it, your senses are still very keen. ”

"Are we really floating on the water, no wonder we were moving forward at that time, but we were not hit by the impact of the current and retreated.

And the speed of progress is very fast, I thought the princess was very hard at that time!"

"It was very hard, I was very tired at that time. ”

"But it was worth it and I decided to do it this way. ”

"But this place is upstream, we will always go to a place and we can't get through."

The students of Xuetang Island felt that navigating the canyon was actually not fun at all, unlike before when they were able to meet people at every turn.

At this time, he was able to sit in the boat and watch leisurely, and saw that there were people on the top of the highest mountain, and that there were people who shouted loudly when they found them sailing in the river.

It seemed to be praising the feats of the two, but they probably thought they would be destroyed at any time, but when they found that they had never been destroyed, many people began to cheer for them.

This was almost the case along the way, and the students of Gakudo Island were eager to stand in front of them and explain how they did it, at least with someone to speak.

Now the students of Gakudo Island can understand each other's words. The ethnic group here is somewhere between the Atayal and Taroko tribes.

But they still found that their languages were really different.

Ten miles of different sounds to change a place, a tribe will have different speaking voices.

"When we get upstream, in the vicinity, probably not more than five kilometers away, there is another river upstream, which is completely intersected with this river, and there is no contact at all.

And the river ends up in the Pacific Ocean, and of course if we rush out of the Pacific Ocean, you will find that there is an infinite expanse of the sea in front of us.

But the sea is so big that we don't feel like you're in the middle of it, and you can at most notice the special blue of the sea, because the sea has become very deep in the past few years, and at some point, you can even see that the sea has turned black. ”

"The princess seems to have seen it, why don't we know?"

"Yes, I've seen it before, and an ordinary person like me shouldn't have had the opportunity to see it, but there happens to be a kind of boat in this place that is a whale watching boat, and you can just see this sea.

Although I haven't traveled far, the scenery of the sea will always be in my mind.

This mountain, which is like a block for all people, once prevented many people from landing on this land. ”

The students of Xuetang Island couldn't understand Qian Rujun's thoughts at all at this time, because in her impression, Qian Rujun had never been to this place, and the boat they drove seemed to be a ship with a different appearance from the boat Qian Rujun said, and the speed didn't seem to be so fast.

"Princess, I always think that the speed of the ship you are talking about is so fast, and our ordinary ships don't seem to be so fast. ”

"That's right, the speed of our ordinary ships is not so fast, because the time has not yet come, and the speed of the ship will only take about four hours to walk from Dongou to our Little Golden Wheat City. ”

"Four hours is two hours, no, it's too fast, we're sailing from there, and now we're going to be at least a whole day, and we're going to pass through a very dangerous sea in between. I've heard people say that if you can make a detour, try not to approach it. ”

"The sea you said should be in Penghu, because there are too many islands near that sea, so a lot of whirlpools have been formed, and there are a lot of tropical coral reefs between the islands and islands, the depth of the ocean is different, so the turbulence of the ocean is very obvious, and the current ships are too small, and when the heart goes to this sea area, it is often impossible to control its own direction.

It is impossible to collide with a ship, but if a larger ship is coming towards us, this ship may collide, but we have no way to find it on the shore, and in this era, there are too few tools to see the bottom of the sea.

When we are traveling on the boat, we often can't see whether there are reefs on the bottom of the sea, and sometimes, the reefs in a sea area are even only one meter below the water, but we can't see them far from the water. ”
