Chapter 43: Far East Danger: Mirage!

On the sea, the waves are surging, and the warships sailing far away are driving on the sea, and the sea breeze blows the huge sails on the masts, and the huge sails hunt and hunt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man in a wheelchair, on the deck, looked up at the stars that seemed to loom in the sky. The sea breeze was cold, and even if you were wearing a heavy jacket, you felt biting inside. Behind him, Li Mao pushed the wheelchair for him: "Senior, let's go in?" ”

The old man nodded, and then Li Mao pushed him into the cabin.

The stars guided the direction of the battleship, and inside the rear end of the battleship, there were bones of rotating gears, the sound of iron cables, steam coming out, and the battleship accelerated further.

At the height of the battleship, at the top of the three-story platform built in a zigzag shape, a young man with a basalt gun on his back, holding goggles, observed the horizon in the distance, and the moon tonight only had a crescent-like outline, but the stars seemed even brighter than ever. The waves on the sea are much more urgent than the previous two days, and somewhere in the distance, there is a possibility that a storm will form, which will affect the waves here.

In the cabin, in a room more than ten zhang wide, a girl called Xiaomeng was confronting each other with a tall young woman, one holding a sword, the other holding a flower umbrella.

Outside the court, wearing an azure corset skirt and a crescent-shaped jade around her neck, she looked like a cute eldest princess girl, holding a little black cat in her arms, looking at the two in the sparring. On such a sea, there really isn't much that can be done other than cultivation.

In the other room next door, the girl's various wonderful or painful moans were heard from time to time. After a while, it was quiet, and in the bed, the girl in the young man's arms thought to herself, what other posture have I not been played with by him?

Life at sea was indeed too boring, so boring that she began to feel that she didn't have enough knowledge and couldn't think of anything new.

At this moment, the red butterfly already knew that the lover was the "master", and this kind of recognition surprised her very much at the beginning. Of course, surprise is surprise, but it is not to the point of disbelief, just because, no matter how much skill he has now, he will no longer make them feel strange, I don't know when he has been, in their impression, he should be so omnipotent.

"Brother Ning......"

In the bed, the red butterfly asked curiously, "What does the end of the sea look like?" ”

The young man who was soft and fragrant smiled and hugged her closer: "You'll know then." ”

Red Butterfly pursed her lips and found that just like Sister Jianli said, Brother Ning is good at everything, but he likes to pretend to be mysterious, which is annoying.

The young man pulled the quilt up, covering her entire neck with only one head, and then said, "With your talent, coupled with your recent hard work, you have made great progress, and you can start the next step." ”

Red Butterfly exclaimed, "What's next?" Family...... People can't think of any more poses. ”

"Uh, I'm talking about your swordsmanship, not your new posture."

"Huh? Oh! "Mistaken.

"Your Emperor Maiden Seven Swords, the first five swords have been practiced, and the sixth sword has begun to have some rudiments, it's time to start thinking about the seventh sword."

The girl grabbed the quilt and raised her head: "What is the seventh sword?" ”

The young man said: "Think with the energy you have been studying new postures these days, as long as you have this drive, you will definitely be able to succeed." ”

“…… Oh! The girl also felt that as long as she had this kind of awareness, she could succeed in anything.

After thinking about it, she said softly: "My aunt seems to be already practicing the seventh sword, but I just asked her what the seventh sword looks like, but she didn't say anything." ”

The young man said: "She doesn't want to affect you, everyone's seventh sword is different." In fact, even if it is the same sword move, everyone will practice it differently, and the most important thing is to find the most suitable sword path for you. ”

The girl stretched out her delicate arm from the quilt and put her arms around his neck: "I know, I know." He pouted, kissed up, and then there was a fiery mass.

It was at this time that there was a sudden rush outside, Ning Jiang lifted the quilt and looked at the door, someone rushed over and knocked on the door outside: "Generalissimo?" Generalissimo? At the same time, Luan Mei, Xiao Meng, Tao Fei, Red Butterfly and others on the other side also heard the movement, looked at each other, and ran out one after another.

On the deck, the young men of the Xuanwu Regiment had already gathered, and Ning Jiang and the others stepped out of the cabin, and then they also raised their heads with these people. Luan Mei said: "This is ......"

In front of the battleship, on the sea in the distance, there was a huge building ship. Although the One Piece is no longer small, it is nothing compared to the ship. The tall hull of the ship, with a seven-story cabin, looks like a black dragon.

After sailing on the sea for more than half a month, he actually saw such a big building ship in this kind of place, which made these young people of the Xuanwu Corps stunned. The building boat seemed to be far away, but it was the direction in which they were heading, and everyone held the basalt spear in their hands tightly, ready for battle. However, the black building ship seemed to be more and more, occupying half of the sky, like dark clouds, still pressing towards them.

Beside Ning Jiang, the wheelchair was pushed out, and the old man on the chair said, "Mirage? ”

Ning Jiang nodded: "It's indeed a mirage...... Mirage. ”

Li Mao asked behind the old man, "Senior, Generalissimo, what is a mirage?" ”

Luan Mei, Tao Fei, Xiao Meng and others also looked at it together, and behind them, there was a red butterfly that was driven out like a waist ribbon.

Ning Jiang said: "The ship we see now is not real, but an illusion. ”

Tao Fei realized: "I heard that travelers in the desert sometimes encounter this kind of scene, obviously see the oasis, but how can not reach it, some people say that it is the mirage breath on the desert, tricking the traveler to leave the original way, the purpose is to let the traveler get lost in the desert, thirst to death on the desert." ”

Ning Jiang said: "Actually, it's not a mirage, and there are no monsters, in the final analysis, it's just the refraction of light." Due to the refraction of light, some landscapes that were originally in this location will be projected to other places thousands of miles away, and others will see it, and those who don't know it will think that it is a monster's work. ”

The old man said: "Theoretically speaking, this is the same principle as the small hole imaging in the Momen Ink Sutra, the refraction of light can make people see other things thousands of miles away, on the sea, in the desert, due to the terrain, this phenomenon is relatively easy to happen." ”

Luan Mei said on the side: "According to this, although what appears in front of you is an illusion, but somewhere thousands of miles away, or even farther away, really exists?" ”

Ning Jiang nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Everyone looked together, only to see that the Black Dragon Gang's building boat, although it occupied half of the sky, was constantly retreating as they approached. According to what the old man and the generalissimo said, although what they saw in front of them was only a phantom, this building ship actually existed, and this realization still surprised everyone.

Ning Jiang said: "If I guessed correctly......"

The old man of Xingluo said: "This is the ship that Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to the sea to 'search for immortals'?" ”

Ning Jiang said: "Not bad. ”

Xiaomeng said: "That ship is so big? ”

Ning Jiang said: "What we see now is the effect of light refraction and magnification, but since the ship can accommodate thousands of people and sail on the open sea, it is naturally not small." However, it is not surprising that Daqin can be said to be the most concentrated power and the strongest execution era in the entire history of China. With the strength of the whole country, building such a building ship is nothing to Daqin. ”

Tao Fei said suspiciously: "If the mirage we see now is the effect of the refraction of light, but now it's night, where does this light come from?" ”

The others were equally puzzled, behind the battleship above their heads, the night was still dark, but the huge building ship in front of them, which seemed to be floating in the air, was faintly glowing, where did this light come from? They subconsciously looked at the old and the young.

Ning Jiang said: "I'm afraid it's the magneto-optical of the Far East Realm. ”

Tao Fei said: "Master, what is magneto-optical?" ”

Before Ning Jiang could speak, the old man Xingluo said first: "The upper and lower squares are called the universe, and the ancient and modern times are called the universe." It is rumored that in ancient times, the sky was overturned, and there were goddesses who stood in all directions with the feet of giant crows, which were the four pillars of the sky. Although this is just a legend, there is indeed a 'Quartet' in this world. According to the pre-Qin corpse, the extremes of these four directions are called East Longitude, West Dimension, South Pole, and North Ming. Among them, the North and South Poles, both half a year for day, half a year for night, alternate, there, there is a mysterious light, sometimes appears at night, called the aurora. At the east and west poles, day and night are indistinguishable, there is no day, and there is no night, there is a different light from the aurora, which is emitted from the east and west poles, called magnetolight. The mirage we see now should be projected from the magneto-optical projection of the Far East. ”

The mirage in the distance was slowly dissipating, and the night was eroding ahead, and the little by little shimmer of light was full of mysterious color, until it finally dissolved into the darkness.

Ning Jiang said slowly: "The Great Sect Evil Zeng Dao, there is more than one world that has been annexed and occupied by the Shura Realm, at the beginning, they will use the Broken Boundary Wall to erode the world discovered by them, and once the Broken Boundary Wall is completed, it will become the so-called 'Domain Gate', thus connecting us with the Shura Realm. If I'm not mistaken, this Boundary Wall is a domain gate created by devouring one of the four poles of other worlds. The Land of Beiming, originally one of the four poles of our world, has now been swallowed up by the wall of the Broken Boundary, and in a few years, the domain gate will appear. ”

The others were silent, silent.

The Great War did not end with the pacification of the barbarians, and there were even greater disasters waiting for them, which was already the consensus of everyone.

Although the appearance of the mirage alarmed everyone on the "One Piece", this night was spent peacefully in the end.

In the second half of the night, Ning Jiang and the old man Xingluo also discussed in detail, but in addition to being able to deduce through the appearance of the mirage, that the building ship that had taken three thousand boys and girls to sea still existed in a certain corner of this world, and could not get other more useful clues. After all, the mirage is just a phantom, and its true source may be thousands of miles away or thousands of miles away.

For the rest of the voyage, the waves became less and less calm.

On that day, the storm swept in, and the wave was like a wall of sea, and even a battleship made of steel was like duckweed, pushed by the wall of sea, drifting with the tide in the tilt. Fortunately, the One Piece was built with the help of many skilled craftsmen and various new technologies, and successfully blocked this wave of frenzy.

After the storm, the thin sunlight shone down, the sea returned to calm, and the sailors on board were exhausted.

Ning Jiang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the horizon in front of him, where the sky and the earth became cloudy and foggy. He knew that further along, he would be the far east of this world.

This world is not round, this is something he has known for a long time, in his previous life, he has also been to Beiming and Xiwei, the extreme of the west, and has seen the real extreme of heaven and earth. However, at that time, after all, he could not build such a warship by relying on the strength of one person, so naturally he never came to the end of the sea.

What's in front of them? At this moment, even he was curious.

Although I stood on the bow of the ship and saw the turbidity in the distance, it was still ten days before I really entered. Above the sea, as far as the eye can see, the line of sight is unobstructed, and you can see very far away.

Enter the misty Far East, where you can't see the sun or the moon, day and night, as if they have overlapped, and everything becomes weird.

However, following the star chart, they actually saw the sky above the mist, the starlight that was far away, but it was bright and faded. They don't know if this is a natural phenomenon that already exists here, or if there are other unknown reasons why this is the case, because the records of this place are actually very scarce.

Among the hundreds of sons in the pre-Qin period, only the corpse and Mozi had a certain degree of research on astronomy and geography, among which Mozi was very extensive, and on the contrary, the research was not too deep.

Since Confucianism and Taoism, celestial phenomena have become part of the "celestial and human induction", endowed with various imaginary and authoritarian colors, and the real astronomy has hardly made any progress. There are almost no works on the subject.

But in any case, since they had already come here, they naturally did not hesitate, and continued to move forward following this longing fog and the cloudiness of the sun and the moon......
