Chapter 598: The Power of Ocean Currents
Everyone thinks that Hu Ye is crazy, it is the kind of madness that has been desperate for too long to see hope, Sun Hang rushed out, Hu Ye is the commander of the entire fleet, he can't be crazy, the silver needles are already in his hands, and Hu Ye is being given two injections, this is with Lou Ying's blood, and the fallen leaves were treated by Lou Ying in this way before, and it seems to have a good effect.
As a result, Sun Hang rushed over, but he was kicked away by Hu Ye, and then the silver needle happened to be inserted into his buttocks, and he screamed in pain.
"Take your pots and pans, and I'll kill you if I can't catch the rain."
Hu Ye said viciously, and then came to the bow of the ship, now that he knows the reason for the slow sailing of the fleet, it is much easier, as long as the current freshwater crisis is solved, he will be able to return to Nanjing.
"Who said the dean was crazy?"
Sun Hang pulled out the silver needle on his buttocks and roared loudly, causing him to run away in vain without saying a word, and opened two holes in his buttocks.
Lao Qian kept silent, he was the first to say that Hu Ye was crazy, and he would not admit it if he was killed.
"Young Master, what do you understand? Tell me about it. ”
Lao Qian came up and whispered to Hu Ye, just now Hu Ye kicked Sun Hang, Lao Qian knew that Hu Ye was not crazy, but he was overjoyed just now, there must be some new discovery, could it be that Hu Ye's master recruited this dark cloud?
"You didn't understand it after telling you, so call Liu Guan for me." Hu Yeren dropped the pot in his hand, and then got into the cabin.
"Could it be that I was mistaken? The young master is still crazy. ”
Lao Qian shook his head, and then went to call Liu Guan, anyway, Liu Guan is not a normal person. If you look at the terrain, you can draw those strange pictures, "It's really like a gathering of things." Old Qian said truthfully.
"Dean. What did you call me for? ”
Liu Guan was called to the cabin by Lao Qian, so he asked Hu Ye curiously.
"After coming out of Kyushu. Have you made a note of the speed of the boat? Hu Ye asked loudly.
"Dean, I have written it down relative to the speed of the sea, but in my opinion, this speed is a bit strange, because according to this sailing speed, we would have already reached Wusongkou, and we would not be at sea at all." Liu Guan muttered.
"At this speed, of course, we have already arrived at Wusongkou, but the speed should also be divided into relative speed and absolute speed." Hu Ye smiled. Just now, when Lao Qian ran to him with a cauldron, he suddenly understood this truth.
"Dean, you're confusing me, isn't it speed? What else is divided into relative and absolute velocity? Liu Guan was a little puzzled, this concept was the first time he knew.
Hu Ye shook his head with a smile, and then said, "You put a small boat in the river, does he want to go downstream?" Isn't it fast compared to people on shore? But is it slow compared to the water in the river? ”
Liu Guan thought about it and felt that Hu Ye had some truth in what he said. But then he said, "But the sea is still, what does it have to do with relative velocity?" ”
"Who told you that the sea is still?" Hu Ye laughed, he had been like this for a month before. That's why he couldn't figure out why he had been sailing fast on the sea, but he hadn't reached Wusongkou yet.
"What? Isn't the sea still? ”
Liu Guan was stunned, he had never heard of the sea flowing.
"There's something called ocean currents. It is not visible to the naked eye. Hu Ye smiled, he only understood this thing just now. His fleet must have encountered ocean currents, and they were going against the current. So it seems that the speed of the fleet is very fast, but the speed is also slow compared to the land, which explains why more than a month has passed, and they have not yet reached Wusongkou.
"Ocean currents? What's that? Liu Guan muttered.
"I'll talk about this later, and I'll make this thing public in the academy. You go and talk about the speed numbers recorded these days, take out all the numbers, make a table, and I want to count the speed of the ocean currents these days, so as to prepare for the future. ”
Hu Ye said loudly, the ocean current is seasonal, basically the place and speed of passing through every year are about the same, this time it has been recorded, and it will be used in the future.
So when everyone was frantically catching the rain, Hu Ye and Liu Guan were busy memorizing the form.
By the time the clouds cleared and the sky cleared again, the water tanks had been filled, and the fresh water reserves were enough for another month, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
"Haha, you kid didn't go to see it just now, Lao Tzu took a big tank of water alone."
Zhu Neng came into the cabin soaking wet and said to Hu Ye with a big grin.
Hu Ye rubbed his forehead, and finally integrated all the numbers in the past month with Liu Guan, and protected these things, but he couldn't let the water on Zhu Neng's body wet these precious numbers.
"Something, guard me like a thief."
Zhu Neng glanced at Hu Ye with contempt, he didn't see Hu Ye during the whole process, and thought that Hu Ye was doing something baby.
"Good stuff."
Hu Ye knew that it didn't make sense to Zhu Neng, so after sorting out all the papers again, he asked Liu Guan to bind them into a book.
Now that the freshwater crisis has passed, and the cause of the slow fleet has been found, the next step is to find a way home.
This route can no longer be used, otherwise it will be like sailing against the current, sailing against the current, at the current speed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get home for another month, and I must find another route.
And the range of ocean currents is very wide, if you want to completely get rid of the ocean current, the distance to move horizontally is also dozens of miles away, and it is also very particular which direction to choose, as for this problem, Hu Ye called Zheng San, this goods are going to the West in the future, it is impossible not to have this gene in his head.
In the end, under the unanimous decision of Hu Ye, Zheng San and Liu Guan, they prepared to move the route to the northwest for a hundred miles, so that they might not reach Wusongkou when they reached the Ming Dynasty, but they could avoid this ocean current.
Sure enough, after making the change, everyone found that the speed of the fleet relative to the sea water had not changed, but compared to the white clouds in the sky, it seemed to be a little faster.
"Look, I'll just say that there is a kraken on that route, you still don't believe it, you see that as soon as you get out of that voyage, we will sail normally."
Zhu Neng said to Hu Ye without cutting down.
Zheng San, Hu Ye, and Liu Guan gave Zhu Neng a disdainful look, which made Zhu Neng very hurt, thinking that Hu Ye and the three of them were short-sighted and didn't care about them in general, so they went out to brag to Nie Yuan and them, and those little cubs didn't dare to refute him.
As soon as the course changed, the speed of the fleet increased, and after only ten days of sailing, the looming shadow ahead could already be seen.
"Dean, the Ming Dynasty is ahead!"
Liu Guan pointed to the shadow in front of him and said loudly to Hu Ye.
Hu Ye looked at the shadow not far away, after nearly two months of sailing, he finally came back, and now it is the end of October, counting the days, he has been traveling for nearly seven months.
"The sea in front is a little turbid, it should be located at the mouth of the Yellow River, and it seems that the front should be Huai'an Mansion, and it has not shifted too much." Hu Ye muttered.
"Yes, Huai'an is Yangzhou, you can enter the Yangtze River, go out for more than half a year, and finally go home." Zheng San also sighed.
Seeing the long-lost homeland, the soldiers on the ship also cried with joy, thinking about the days when the water was about to break a few days ago, and they were so excited that they left tears.
"Pass the order down, fill the rudder on the left, sail to the southwest, and go straight to Wusongkou." Hu Ye immediately gave the order, so the fleet began to turn around, these ships were too big to be too close to the shore, because he knew that outside Yangzhou Mansion, there were many dark sands, and it was easy for these big ships to run aground.
So when Hu Ye's fleet turned, many people in Huai'an Mansion saw the huge fleet, and some ordinary people thought that it was the Japanese who came, so they hurriedly ran to tell the Huai'an prefect.
The prefect of Huai'an knew that the imperial court sent a huge fleet out to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and he also knew that the Japanese could not have the ability to make such a big ship, so he was sure that the fleet outside was their Ming Dynasty fleet, so he quickly called someone to report to Beijing quickly, this is big news, after all, this is Zhu Di's first military operation as emperor.
The speed of the fast horse is naturally faster than the fleet, so before Hu Ye's fleet arrived at Wusongkou, Nanjing City already knew the news of Hu Ye's fleet's return.
"Child, your dad doesn't know what to fool around in the Japanese country, it's been more than half a year, and there hasn't been any news, and I must teach him a good lesson when he comes back."
In the nameless mansion, Yingxue stroked her bulging belly, counting from her round house with Hu Ye in March, it was already August pregnant, her belly was already very big, and it was a little inconvenient to walk, now it was Saren who took care of her before and after, Xiaocui was a person who came over, she knew very well about this qiē, and she took care of Yingxue very well.
"Young lady, the young master will be back soon, he said before he left that he would definitely come back to see the young master." Saren said to Yingxue as he cleaned up the house.
"He also said before that he wanted to go back to Peking to see me, but it turned out that he didn't talk much, man, there is no good thing." Yingxue walked in the room with her stomach up, and said angrily.
"Hee-hee."
Hearing Yingxue cursing Hu Ye, Saren suddenly laughed.
"You dead girl, what are you laughing at?" Yingxue glared at Saren.
"I said how can the young master be so beautiful, it's not a good thing to chase the young lady." Saren said with a smile.
"You damn girl, drill the horns!"
Yingxue was so angry with Saren that she just wanted to do it, but she immediately found that she couldn't move anymore, so she had to give up.
"Young lady! Young lady! ”
Zou Kai rushed in and yelled out of breath.
"What a fuss." Saren glared at Zou Kai, now Yingxue may be in the spring at any time, but he can't be frightened.
"Less...... Few...... The young master has news. Zou Kai sat paralyzed on the ground as he spoke, and it seemed that he was running all the way back, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
As soon as she heard the news of Hu Ye, Ying Xue was overjoyed, and then her body was weak, and she was about to fall down immediately, but fortunately, Saren was quick and immediately rushed up to support her.
"Where has he been?" Yingxue asked a little weakly. (To be continued......)
