The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Without land, without a coastline, there is no sense of security.

Even Oda Nobunaga could not extricate himself from this worry.

"Ask the sailors what they can do." In order to say to the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka, he turned around and discussed with Kuroda Takataka, "Take out the chart, and we'll discuss it again." ”

……

"Take out the charts, and we'll discuss." Almost the same dialogue, but in a different atmosphere, takes place in the Corning Tree Tower.

Regulus XIV had appeared in front of him. The news he brought was not very reassuring.

William Janes, one of Huang Xing's four assistants, brought an ultimatum from the Dutch East India Company. Its content involves the division of interests along the southeast coast. The stakes are so high that Huang Xing himself can decide.

But Huang Xing himself was in the ninety-six time and space, and they searched for a long time but didn't find it. One of the few old men who knew the inside story of this had seen Kang Ning come out of the closed door, and that was the first time Huang Xing took him to the time and space of Ninety-six. So he suggested that Regulus come to Corning with this ultimatum.

And Kang Ning didn't know Huang Xing's specific layout in Southeast Asia, so he could only quietly open the light door and invite Huang Xing back.

Fortunately, Huang Xing has returned to Australia in the 96 time and space, otherwise he would have to wait a few more days to let him fly back to Australia from Europe. After all, one of the characteristics of the Light Gate is that when you travel back and forth, you can only appear at the location where you last disappeared.

When Huang Xing appeared in front of Xuanyuan XIV, the other party was obviously relieved, but there was a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes. Although this point escaped Kang Ning and Huang Xing, it did not escape Zhuge Liang's eyes.

However, Zhuge Liang did not break it on the spot, but quietly retreated, and the reason given was also very high-sounding, this is a matter of the Black Clothes Society, and it has nothing to do with their Black Lotus Sect.

And Huang Xing also quickly made a decision. His decision was to let Kangning decide, he needed to continue his retreat.

Therefore, Corning took out the charts so that they could be observed and discussed more intuitively.

The Dutch East India Company demanded a maritime sphere of influence, which involved the passage of several important sea routes, including the Straits of Malacca and Sunda. So he decisively refused the request of the Dutch side. At the same time as he replied, he extended an olive branch to the Portuguese in Macao and the Spaniards in the Philippines.

This olive branch does not involve spheres of influence, only trade.

It's just that the main commodities of trade are not industrial products from the West, not only because they don't have enough ability to produce good enough industrial products at this time, but also because Corning can get the industrial products he wants from the Ninety-Six Time and Space. So, the content of their deals, there is only one word, talent.

What was the most expensive in the seventeenth century? Talent. What is the most expensive talent? Highly compatible local talent.

Although more and more reincarnated people have gathered under their command, they come from different historical periods, and there is a great time difference between them and the last years of the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century, and their culture, even if they are also from ancient China, is different because of different dynasties.

Some of them, in the foreseeable future, will fit well into their current lives, but there are also others, these are the majority, and for a short time, they will not see this hope at all.

Therefore, he needs such a talent, no matter how much gold and silver is spent, he has to add a strong color of learning from the East to the West for the Jixia School Palace, which is about to reappear on the land of Qilu.

As for material business exchanges, Corning doesn't care too much. For example, he is ready to entrust the Portuguese and Spaniards to plant some rubber trees on the islands of Southeast Asia, and at this time, the rubber trees have not yet spread here, so the saplings of rubber trees can only be trafficked from the time and space of 96, and it will take a while.

The second is about population replenishment. But instead of participating in the triangular trade that was about to flourish, there was still a great deal of hesitation in Corning's heart.

After receiving a reply, Xuanyuan immediately set off for the Ryukyu Kingdom. He brought back not only a tough reply that triggered a greater conflict with the Dutch, but also the latest changes in the upper echelons of the group's power.

As one of the next generation of important assistants cultivated by Huang Xing, since she came into contact with Huang Xing, she has deeply felt the mystery and extraordinaryness of nature, and whenever something big happens, he can always make accurate judgments. This time, however, he gave up on the habit. Regulus couldn't figure it out, why would he do this? Is there something more important that needs to keep him busy? Or is Corning, an important assistant like himself, here to take over the job?

He didn't know much about this, and he didn't dare to make judgments easily, he needed to bring the changes here back to the headquarters, and then, be dumb for a while, just listen to what they discussed, and never express his own opinions.

In order to achieve this effect, he did not leave the Shandong Peninsula and began to say nothing.

Along the way, Corning, who was about to board the ship south with him, didn't hear a word from his mouth.

Corning's southward march was a matter that had been decided a long time ago. He could have left earlier, but was delayed by two things, one was the Dutch ultimatum brought by Regulus XIV, and the other was related to the use of the space-time light gate.

Huang Xing will often be active in the 96 time and space in the future, similar to the problem just now, and it may appear again in the future, after all, the transfer of power between him and Kang Ning has not yet been completed, and the most serious problem is the nominal problem. In a short period of time, Corning can only use the name of Huang Xing to act within his crossing group, and many senior managers have the right to pick up Huang Xing, if Corning obstructs it, it will inevitably lead to suspicion and decomposition within the group.

Therefore, Huang Xing, like Kang Ning, often needs to travel back and forth between the two planes, and the two of them only have one space-time ring, which is not suitable for anyone's hand to wear.

This contradictory solution was finally proposed by the old man with corn teeth. According to the latest research, he actually relied on the "rudimentary" equipment of the Ninety-Six time and space to separate a fixed light gate from the light formed by the control of time and space. This light gate has its fixed area, and the cross-sectional area of the object that wants to pass through it must be less than this area. In addition to this restriction, the coordinates of the two space-time spaces connected by this light gate can no longer be modified.

This also means that this light gate can only set fixed space-time coordinates. It's nowhere near as flexible to use as a space-time ring.

However, this is enough for Tang Ning and Huang Xing, and in the future, Huang Xing can rely on this fixed gate to shuttle back and forth between the Shandong Peninsula in the seventeenth century and the Australian mainland in the ninety-sixth time and space.

After a simple experiment, Corning and others found that this method was very effective, but this light gate needed to be disguised in two time and space. It must not be easily exposed, the truth of stuffy hair and wealth, you are everyone's first criterion, even if you have to tell some Shandong natives in the seventeenth century about bright things in the future, you must use as many tricks as possible to confuse the public.

Why is it possible to tell the Shandong natives in the 17th century about Guangmen in the future?

Because Corning and others were preparing to establish a fixed light gate on the Australian continent in the 17th century.

It can be said that the old man's plan made Kangning taste the sweetness, and he found a way to greatly reduce the cost of immigration, that is, to use two fixed light gates, and then, through the Australian farm in the 96 time and space.

In this way, refugees who need to migrate can actually travel from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere without having to travel far.

In this regard, Corning, who should be very satisfied, still has a trace of extravagant hope. If such a space-time tunnel could directly connect two locations in the seventeenth century, there would be no need for transit. However, the old man of the corn family clearly told him that you don't have to think about such a thing, at least you can't do it through the space-time medium, because this space-time ring was originally designed for time jumping, and if you want to achieve the purpose of space jumping, you can only achieve it through this compromise scheme, and you can't do it directly.

Even so, however, Corning was happily on his way, and his destination was the 17th-century Australian mainland. Due to the nature of the space-time medium - after returning from another plane, he can only appear in the place where he disappeared last - he needs to first travel to the Australian continent of the plane, and then travel to the Australian continent after 380 years, after which he can separate a fixed gate of light from the light gate generated by the space-time ring.

Such a demand is also in line with the original plan to go south, and Corning must have a thorough understanding of Huang Xing's layout in Australia. Because there, it is a very ideal logistics base.

After a two-day journey, the two of them and a large entourage finally boarded the ship and set off for the south.

Among this group of people, there are still many Japanese. They will not be exiled to the islands of the Pacific Ocean, but will go to Japan to help Ryoma Sakamoto, who is there with their master.

However, after they got on board, they received the katana they wore with them in the Wine Glass Corning Building, and put them on the lowest deck to be disposed of as ordinary ballast.

These Japanese were obviously incomprehensible to Kangning's decision, and even Xuanyuan XIV had a puzzled expression.

However, Corning must do so. You must know that in World War II, this group of Japanese samurai carried samurai swords and drilled into the cockpit of the plane, and then, the iron katana brought great electromagnetic interference to the compass, resulting in inaccurate compass pointing.

Cor Ning didn't want to be on a sea ship on his own, recalling the Japanese plane, which swayed in the sky, and in nine years the plane crashed into a U.S. Navy warship, often missing the target.

Then again, I wonder if Kuroda Nagamasa's gang has been affected by this?

If Oda Nobunaga knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely shout: "My lord? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”
