Chapter 364: Plan to the Americas!
Zhu Zilong's ability is limited, and no matter what he does at present, he can only separate one clone.
So, I turned my attention to the random door.
Soon, he ushered in a hint of loss, but also a hint of surprise. The loss is that this knock-off, perhaps because of restrictions, or because of the failure of the main god's system, cannot cross time and space, but can only cross space.
That is, there is no such ability as the robot cat provides, which can directly cross the past and the future. And the light-year limit is quite strong, and it is impossible to rely on this thing for space travel.
But thinking about it, it is estimated that it is impossible for him to go to outer space in his lifetime, and this trace of loss Zhu Zilong quickly balanced the past. Didn't think much about it!
The surprise is that in addition to the three coordinate points, there is also a starting point that is not included.
In other words, there are actually four coordinates available for this random door. Within a mile of Zhu Zilong's palace, it is the starting point. Three more coordinate points can also be located.
"These three coordinates cannot be changed once they are set, so the location chosen must be carefully chosen. However, there is one location that is certain and must be chosen. That is the Americas thousands of miles away, no matter what, now the Great Song Sea is okay, and the points that the clone consumes every day are necessities, so let him go on the road......" Zhu Zilong muttered in his heart.
Subsequently, he gave the doppelganger a token in the palace, and then personally took the doppelganger to several important exits of the palace, and gave the guards a look, and said that anyone who sees this person in the future must be released. If it is effective, it must not be followed.
This is what it means to imply that this is the henchman of his new henchman.
Subsequently, Zhu Zilong arranged a carriage, and then gave the doppelganger a lot of silver taels (tickets) and weapons, let him sit on the canal boat, and directly came to the Kaifeng Canal, a few days after passing through Shandong, and arrived at the mouth of the sea.
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked at the sea ships on the dock from afar, and this was the first time he had seen so many big ships of the Song Dynasty. Now you can share everything with the doppelganger and the body, and that's what you want.
Look at the left, there is a "Fu Chuan" type sea vessel, the hull residual length is 24.20 meters, the residual width is 9.15 meters, the estimated load is about 200 tons, and the displacement can reach about 600 tons. Later generations have drawings that have been defined by later generations as the earliest and largest wooden sailing ship ever discovered in the world!
Nowadays, when I see the real thing, the feeling is completely different from looking at the drawings.
"Menglianglu" records: "Ships of maritime merchants vary in size. The big one is 5,000 materials, which can carry 5 or 600 people; The small one can carry two or three hundred people." Material, is the Song people's unit of measurement of the load of the ship, one material is equal to one Song stone, equivalent to 120 catties today.
Therefore, it is clear that the Fukun is not the largest sea vessel. It should only be a medium-sized merchant ship!
Sure enough, with a lot of noise on the dock, I heard someone faintly shouting something, and the national treasure ship --- "Ding Xinli Shehuai Yuan Kangji Shenzhou", and "Follow the Stream" to come to the Shenzhou!
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked over there, and saw two huge and terrifying sailing ships, more gorgeous than all the ships on the scene. And in some places, gold and silver were crossed, and the reflection of light in the sun came from far and near.
Only then did I remember that there were indeed records of these two huge ships in history.
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty ordered the dockyard to build two huge ships because of the need to send an embassy to visit Goryeo, one named "Ding Xinli Shehuai Yuan Kangji Shenzhou" and the other named "Shunliu Anyi Tongji Shenzhou". At the same time, the supervisors of Fujian and Zhejiang were entrusted to accompany 60 "Gu Recruit Passenger Boats"!
The length, breadth, and height of the two giant ships, the use of all kinds of objects, and the number of people are three times that of passenger ships!
In other words, the loading capacity of a Shenzhou is at least 12,000 materials, which is converted into today's parlance, with a load of 720 tons and a displacement of more than 2,000-3,000 tons.
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the Song people described the two Shenzhou, towering like mountains, floating on the waves, the head of the brocade sail, yielding to the cockroach, and the day when the beauty greeted the edict, the country towered and cheered and sighed." For the Dragon Palace on the Sea! Such a large ship is indeed a giant ship in ancient times, even in the 21st century, it is not a small ship! ”
The two Shenzhou have just returned from the ocean, and after that, they will have to divert the small boats to send the materials on them to Beijing, and then rest here. With the time arrangement and identity of Zhu Zilong's clone, it is impossible to go up and borrow a position to go to sea!
Therefore, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger began to inquire all the way on the docks to see which civilian merchant fleets were well-known in the local area, and the incidence of safety stories was low. I'm going to give some money, buy some goods here, pretend to be a vendor, and go out with the team to mix up a position. The farther you can go, the better, and even pay directly to buy a boat and hire a sailor to set off together!
Of course, it is very difficult to reach the Americas directly on the first line, especially if you want to take the east wind to reach the same ship as a ship.
Because the Maritime Silk Road route of the Song Dynasty at this time was basically like this. From the southeast coast of China, or the mouth of Shandong, through the Indochina Peninsula and the South China Sea countries, through the Indian Ocean, into the Red Sea, to East Africa and Europe. It has become a major maritime channel for trade and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, and has promoted the common development of countries along the route.
This kind of starting route, because the ancient steamers were mostly wooden, and the nautical charts were not perfect, and the technical staff was not enough, and they were generally only able to advance not far from the coastline. Therefore, it is basically impossible for the Song Dynasty and the surrounding small coastal countries to discover the Americas and Austria thousands of miles away, as well as the Europeans at this time.
In the original history, when Columbus first discovered the American continent on August 3, 1492, there was still a time gap of more than 300 years from the current Song Dynasty.
"I am now a member of the Song Dynasty, that is, a member of the Song Dynasty. If I discover the American continent while sailing, I will send the news and route back to the Great Song Dynasty. This should also be regarded as a major modification of the Song Dynasty, right? Perhaps, you can reward tens of thousands of main god system points at once, maybe you can't say. After all, if the discovery of the New World can produce national benefits, this is enough to leave a deep mark in history......" Touching his chin, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked very excited with small stars in his eyes.
"Maybe you can reward hundreds of thousands of points in the future, so the consumption of 50 points per day of the clone is not worth mentioning at all......
Think about it, Columbus had only three dilapidated cargo ships. Those ships were not even as good as the fortune ships of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sailors on board were basically all Spanish condemned prisoners.
The Queen and the ruler of Spain had the idea of giving it a try, and released the condemned prisoners from prison, promising them freedom if the voyage was successful.
On August 3, 1492, at the age of 42, Columbus finally set sail from the port of Baros with 87 sailors in three ships. They battled the rough seas, endured many hardships and dangers, crossed the Atlantic, and reached the Bahamas and the islands of Cuba and Haiti.
After three voyages to the west, Jingran was able to successfully reach Jamaica, Puerto Rico and other islands, as well as the coasts of Central America and South America. At the time, he mistakenly thought that this was Asia, and until his death, he did not know that it was a "new continent" that had never been known.
Zhu Zilong's doppelganger shared knowledge with the subject, as well as items in personal space, and knew the general direction of the Americas, and also brought a compass and some modern equipment obtained from the lottery in the main god system. If you spend a lot of money on a few more ships, take a group of sailors with you, and set off along the Silk Road first.
In the middle, when you arrive at some transit point, you will be persuaded or rewarded with a brave man, or you will also learn from Columbus, and you really don't believe that you can't reach the Americas!
