Chapter 139: Similarities and Differences (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection!) )
The background of the Great Voyage is similar to that of the modern world in the 16th century, but it is very different, giving people a strange sense of time and space disorder, and at the same time, the Great Navigation and shipbuilding are also much stronger than the real historical period of the modern world.
Of course, after Lin Fan's personal experience, whether it is the world of riding and chopping or the world of great navigation, the characters and things in it are all real, so perhaps the history of the modern world is not absolute, and there are always various similarities and differences between the world.
For example, the big shark that Saeki and they encountered, if it was in the modern world, it would be impossible to survive at all, although there has been no clear feeling, but Lin Fan can always faintly feel that whether it is the riding and slashing world or the great navigation world, the strength level of the organism is higher than that of the modern world.
Not to mention the others, for example, Saeki and Lin Sen, they are both strong masters, among which Saeki has a strong kendo kung fu, and it is said that he has also learned the kung fu of breathing and breathing since he was a child, as for Lin Sen, he is not weak, and he is a master of Western sword use.
If these two people were not at the forefront, how could the ship have escaped from the mouth of the big shark, and even if the two of them endured most of the attack pressure, and finally were in a disadvantageous state of being tired, hungry and thirsty, they still easily suppressed the rebellion caused by more than 20 crew members, which shows the strength of the two men.
Although they are not as refined as the warband world, they have very different development directions in other aspects of martial arts, and their final growth strength may not be weaker than that of knight-level powerhouses.
In addition, there is a lot of humanities, history, people, and scientific knowledge, and the development situation is completely different from the modern world.
For example, the knowledge of sextants and latitude and longitude was a problem that was not solved until the eighteenth century in the history of the modern world, but in the world of great navigation, thanks to the vigorous development of the great navigation, it is only the sixteenth century, and these things already have a very complete body of knowledge.
Of course, these extremely important confidential knowledge will generally be passed down as the secret knowledge of the seafaring family, and it is difficult for ordinary sailors and even navigators to come into contact with it, such as a grassroots navigator like Lin Sen, who relies more on his own experience and other ordinary seafaring knowledge when he sails.
In the past, Lin Sen had been following the fleet in Southeast Asia, so he was very familiar with the geography of that area, but this time it was so unlucky, first the fleet encountered a storm, and then encountered a big shark, but when he finally escaped, the surrounding sea was no longer a place he was familiar with, so now it can be said that Lin Sen, the old driver, was lost!
But fortunately, everything is still in the great god Lin Fan, since I already know that this is the world of great navigation, then there is nothing to worry about, after all, the geographical environment here is extremely similar to the modern world, so the longitude and latitude coordinates can also be shared.
Lin Fan has a modern accurate map, and at the same time, he also has a navigation artifact such as a sextant, so as long as he has these things in his hand, he will not be afraid of getting lost even if he is anywhere.
What should I do if I can't use a sextant? It's so easy! Lin Fan just took the time to check the information, and by the way, he also bought a reference book on navigation knowledge such as latitude and longitude, and soon learned how to use it according to the book.
Lin Fan followed the method in the book, constantly fiddling with the sextant in his hand, and Lin Sen on the side looked at it with a longing expression, and there was only one meaning in his eyes - envy!
Saeki quipped a little puzzled and asked, "Hey, Lin, why do you keep staring at Engong's sextant!" ”
Lin Sen suddenly said with excitement on his face: "That's a sextant, it's a real priceless treasure for navigators, I have only seen it once before when I sailed with the fleet, as long as you have this treasure and supporting knowledge, you can easily become a smart navigator, even if you travel all over the world, you are not afraid of getting lost." ”
Saeki was slightly surprised, and then said thoughtfully, "Really? This is truly a nautical treasure! Sure enough, it is worthy of Lord Lin Fan, and even such a treasure can be taken out casually. ”
Lin Fan checked the coordinates of the location of the three people at this time, 20 degrees north latitude and 116 degrees east longitude, and then compared the map according to the data.
Yes, they have already run to the waters of East Asia, and it is no wonder that Lin Sen, an old driver, has lost his way, because this has completely left the scope of the Southeast Asian waters that he is familiar with, so his previous sailing experience is no longer applicable, and can no longer be used as a standard reference.
After measuring the bearing, Lin Fan casually threw the sextant to Lin Sen, and Lin Sen hurriedly and carefully caught the baby.
"Since you're interested in this thing, I'll leave this one to you for safekeeping, and by the way, there's also this book, which has relevant knowledge such as latitude and longitude, and you can also read and learn it when you have time."
Saying that, Lin Fan handed the book in his hand to Lin Sen again, and suddenly Lin Sen was so grateful that the corners of his mouth became a little trembling, and finally knelt down directly in front of Lin Fan: "Thank you so much for the adult, the little one is willing to die for the adult!" ”
Lin Fan accepted this gift generously, and then cordially pulled Lin Sen up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are my loyal subordinate, strengthening your strength is to improve my work efficiency, so you don't want to be so foreign in the future!" ”
"Yes, Lord Lin Fan!" Lin Sen's eyes were slightly red, and he said with great gratitude.
In these years, any knowledge is precious, ordinary people don't know a single big word, even an ordinary carpenter's knowledge, at least ten or twenty years of apprenticeship before it is possible to learn the hand, not to mention the inheritance of extremely profound knowledge such as latitude and longitude, but Lin Fan taught Lin Sen casually, no wonder Lin Sen is so excited, Lin Fan is so generous to them.
Seeing that Lin Fan valued and cultivated the two of them so much, Saeki nodded secretly, and his heart was more identified with Lin Fan, and his loyalty to Lin Fan was also on a higher level.
………………………………
Private luxury yachts have always been the best choice for the rich to enjoy the blue sky and sea, and at the same time, they can show off their wealth in a low-key manner, and directly envy a group of poor dicks.
Lin Fan's private luxury yacht has a body length of more than 20 meters, which is outstanding even among many luxury yachts in modern times, and it cost him more than 3 million US dollars.
You must know that Lin Fan's first batch of arms was only traded for five million US dollars, and they were all purchased at a premium above the market price, if it weren't for the high enough profits, you think that group of Russian gangsters would be so cooperative.
Therefore, if you really calculate it, the real value of the first batch of arms that Lin Fan has in his hands should be more than three million, which is at most comparable to this luxury yacht.
Of course, Lin Fan is not short of money now, but he has money and no place to spend it, he wants to buy more arms, such as tanks and helicopter gunships, as long as they can get them for themselves, Lin Fan doesn't even mind paying three times the price.
It's just a pity that even in the United States, such a big guy is not so easy to get, not to mention that Lin Fan can't deal with too many forces for the sake of concealment and security, and it is already very risky to find a Russian gangster.
And with the strength of this Russian gangster, the last $5 million arms deal has basically hollowed out their old bottoms, and if they want to carry out the next arms deal, they will have to wait at least half a year later, and as for big guys like tanks and helicopter gunships, it will have to wait until at least two or three years later.
And if there was so much time, Lin Fan would have been developing in other worlds for decades, so it was naturally impossible to waste it in the modern world at will.
Lin Fan didn't have a good way to do this, after all, his own foundation was still too weak, and before his strength grew up, Lin Fan would not communicate with these underworld forces too frequently, anyway, now that the arms have been enough for a long time, then naturally concealment and security are more important.
PS: The new book is still a seedling, and it needs everyone's careful care, I hope you can support it a lot, and collect and recommend more votes, the better!
