Ang Lee will lie on the deck and watch the stars at night, but if you don't have the company of the little beauty, it is really boring to watch the stars alone, watching the stars is secondary, and letting the beauty accompany you to watch the stars is the most important and comfortable.

It is said that many seafarers in later generations have quite good astronomical knowledge, at least, they can recognize many important stars, and the reason for this situation is that they are too bored, when they are adrift at sea, they can still look at the birds that occasionally fly in the sky during the day, and look at the sea and other passing ships, but once it is night, except for the stars, there is really nothing to see, so that you can only look at the stars every day to relieve boredom, among them, as long as there is a seafarer who understands a little knowledge of astronomy, This knowledge will be passed on to other people very quickly, and over time, the crew at sea will understand the astronomical knowledge.

For example, Li An's soldiers who opened up the Maritime Silk Road Belt this time, at the beginning, many soldiers didn't know what the name of each star was, and after such a long time at sea, most of the soldiers learned a lot of astrological knowledge, and even knew how to use the starry sky to distinguish the direction, which shows that people can also promote learning when they are bored, because if they don't study, they really have nothing to do.

When any ship sails at sea, it must stop at the port as often as possible to rest, and then set off again, and the purpose of the rest is to let the sailors have a relaxing time, if they keep sailing on the sea, the sailors' hearts are likely to be unbearable, so it will inevitably cause extremely serious consequences.

In history, there have been many sailors who have gone berserk and brought extremely serious disasters to the entire ship, and even many sailors who have not been vented for a long time will rise up and riot, killing people and setting fires is nothing.

It is because life at sea is too monotonous, people can't stand staying at sea for a long time, and they must go to the port to rest and relax, so that they can better start the next stage of sea sailing.

And Li An understands the damage that a long sea voyage will cause to the soldiers, so this road to the west will not go all the way, but will stop halfway, the purpose is to let the soldiers relax and relax.

In addition, the interior of the ship has also undergone various modifications, and some relatively simple books have been prepared, as well as things like chess and Go, so that when the soldiers are bored, they can read books and play Go chess to relieve their boredom, thus greatly reducing the boredom of the soldiers.

Originally, Ang Lee wanted to match them with some beauties or something, but after thinking about it, forget it! Anyway, there are a lot of stops along the way, which is enough for the soldiers to have fun, and the number of soldiers is too much, if there are too many beauties, the burden is too great, if there are too few, the soldiers should not fight, so it will further increase the crisis.

In the entire fleet, only Li An has a little beauty, that is, Li Xiaolu's little beauty, and the rest of the soldiers can only choose to go ashore to cool off when the fleet docks, anyway, at most, it will only hold back for a few days, and no one will die.

Although there are heated and cooled ice cubes in the cabin, Ang Lee still prefers the cool breeze on the deck, this kind of gentle wind is particularly comfortable on the body, which is simply refreshing, especially when there is a little beauty with a fragrant body next to him, this feeling is even stronger.

The recliner was brought from Ang Lee's own boat, and he brought several, enough to meet Ang Lee's use alone, when the sky was full of stars at night, lying on the rickety recliner, blowing a warm cool breeze, looking at the beautiful starry sky in the sky, and telling the little beauty next to him the basics of astronomy, this is indeed a great enjoyment, and Ang Lee is a little happy.

During the day, Ang Lee spent his main energy on reading books and design drawings, which were useful to himself, and the design drawings were mainly the design of new ports everywhere, the bridges and ports of the Datang Canal, and the design of some better tools and weapons.

Although, the industrialization of Datang has started, and there are many technical talents in the R&D center of Chang'an City who are constantly developing and improving various machinery, but Li An knows that if there is no participation of himself, it is difficult to make great achievements by relying on these guys alone, after all, Li An's mind already has a lot of machinery and drawings, and these contemporary people have nothing, let them design new machinery by themselves, it is a little too difficult for them, especially a lot of useful machinery, it is not realistic.

And because when they set off, they didn't carry enough machinery, so many of the designed machines and weapons could only be expected to be manufactured when they returned to Chang'an City.

For the design of various ports, Li An is based on the topographic maps drawn by his subordinates, after repeated consideration, and only after repeated consideration, and, in addition to Li An to design, some of the people trained under his command also have to follow the design, everyone's thinking is different, so the designed drawings must be different, in this way, if everyone brainstorms, the effect may be better, after all, Li An's thinking is also limited, there are many problems, he may not be able to think of it, and through the drawings designed by his subordinates, But you can give yourself a lot of inspiration, so that you can design a more reasonable design drawing.

Every day after breakfast, the subordinates will send the homework assigned by Li An, and Li An will also be very serious to review, if there are subordinates to design the idea is more ingenious, can give full play to the topographical characteristics of the port, so as to save costs and expand the benefits of the port to help, then, Li An will definitely be greatly rewarded, there are many times, a magical idea let Li An wave of the pen, to the subordinates to promote.

Because the rewards are relatively rich, these subordinates are also very hard working when they work, almost all of them rack their brains in design, think about almost all the problems that may be encountered in the port, and write their own ideas in the form of words next to the drawings, so that Li An can watch them against each other.

For the intentions of his subordinates, of course Li An is very happy, since his subordinates are so employed, Li An will naturally not treat them badly, as long as it is a subordinate who thinks hard, no matter the results of the design can be recognized by Li An, they will get a reward, it can be food, it can be an item, of course, it may also be a few words of encouragement.

Because there are too many ports and bridges that need to be designed, Ang Lee's subordinates are still very busy, and there are a lot of design drawings handed in every day, in order to store these important drawings, Ang Lee's boat has opened a room for storing drawings, the room is very large, in addition to a gate and a window, there are two rows of shelves around.

The shelves are divided into six levels, each of which can be used to place drawings, and in the center of the room is a large workbench, which is also equivalent to a large table, on which large drawings can be drawn.

For the general design, only small drawings that are not too large are needed, but if you want to show many details of the design, you must use large drawings, and the premise of using large drawings is that there must be a table with a large enough area.

In his previous life, Ang Lee had studied design and often had to use large paper to draw, and as long as it was drawing, it was necessary to use a large area of the table that grabbed the door, only in this way could he draw well, if there was no large area of the flat table, there was no way to draw a large design drawing.

Ang Lee remembers that drawing also requires a T-ruler, T-ruler, drawings, a large flat table, and pencils and other drawing tools are necessary tools for drawing large-scale design drawings.

Ang Lee did not accurately calculate how many big pictures he drew in his previous life, but there must be a lot of them, and there are still hundreds of big pictures, otherwise how can they be worthy of several years of college life.

And because of such an experience in his previous life, Ang Lee's drawing level is very high, and the drawings drawn are very fine, so that he is qualified to guide others and guide a group of subordinates to draw drawings.

The T-shaped rulers used in later generations are made of plastic, and they are marked with detailed scales, however, this is the Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to want a transparent plastic T-ruler, so at this time, Li An and his subordinates are using T-shaped rulers made of bamboo chips, but they are different from the solid T-shaped rulers of later generations, Li An and his subordinates are now using T-shaped rulers with leaky seams in the middle, and the top of the T-shaped ruler is a solid bamboo piece, but the middle of the main part is hollowed out, so that it is more convenient to observe, after all, the bamboo piece is opaque, if you dig a gap in the middle, It will feel better.

And whenever Ang Lee sits in the drawing room and watches the drawings, Li Xiaolu is very bored alone, she will always quietly run outside the room to see what Ang Lee is doing, and after finding Ang Lee at work, she will quietly retreat, so as not to disturb Ang Lee.

Ang Lee is very happy when he plays, and he is also very serious when he works, sometimes he is fascinated by the drawings, even if someone walks behind him, Ang Lee can't find it, let alone spin around outside the door.

Of course, if Ang Lee is tired of looking at the drawings, he will also choose to look out from afar, look outside the door, or simply stand up and go outside to see the scenery to give himself a rest, after all, working non-stop all the time is very hard and does great harm to the body.

When Li An looked out of the door, he happened to see Li Xiaolu dangling outside the door, so he said, "Xiaolu, what are you doing, come in!" ”

When Li Xiaolu heard this, she ran into the room very happily and threw herself into Ang Lee's arms at once, like a little doll spoiled, looking particularly cute.

"Come, take a look at this drawing, does it feel familiar."

Li An took out a port drawing of Gibraltar from a large pile of drawings and put it in front of Li Xiaolu.

Of course, this drawing is not a drawing designed by Ang Lee, but a drawing drawn by his subordinates, the actual situation of the current port of Gibraltar, that is, the current tribal map is the current drawing.

Li Xiaolu looked at it for a long time, pointed to many symbols on the map, and said: "This should be a mountain, this is the seawater, and these are trees, right?" ”

Li An nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "That's not wrong at all, it seems that Xiaolu is still very smart, she can understand it by looking at the map for the first time, it's really amazing!" By the way, do you see where this is? ”

After speaking, he motioned for Li Xiaolu to take a few more looks.

Li Xiaolu looked at these mountains and rivers and villages carefully, sometimes excited, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, sometimes thinking.

"This is my hometown of Gibraltar! It really seems that this is Gibraltar! ”

Li Xiaolu said excitedly.

Li An nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, this is Gibraltar, the hometown you think about day and night, look, Gibraltar has become like this now, and the port next to the residential area was not so big before!" This is the effect of the Moorish expansion, isn't it spectacular, but this is still too small, if the Tang can take over here, the port here will be expanded tenfold. ”

After speaking, he took out another drawing and put it in front of Li Xiaolu, and this drawing depicted the future appearance of Gibraltar designed by Li An.

"Why are there so many small houses on this drawing, and how many people will live in my hometown in the future!"

Li Xiaolu opened her mouth and exclaimed.

Li An pointed to the location of the port and said: "This will be a huge port in the future, there will be a lot of merchants coming and going, merchants and sailors have accommodation needs, naturally need to add a large number of houses, in addition, the Gibraltarians who were originally driven away, but also let them return to their homes, and after returning, there must be houses for them to live in, in addition, after the environment here is better in the future, there will be more and more people who want to immigrate here, which requires a large number of houses, so the houses are indispensable." ”

"My hometown was originally just a small fishing village, but if I do that, it will be a prosperous port in the future."

Li Xiaolu looked quite happy.

Subsequently, Li Xiaolu pointed to many locations on the map and told Li Ang many things, such as where her home is, how many children the neighbor next to her has, which neighbor is particularly good to him, and which neighbor hates him very much.

What happened next to a certain pool, what stories she had experienced, etc., these are Li Xiaolu's personal experiences, but Ang Lee just likes to hear such stories very much.
