Wen Xin came to the eleventh year of the Xiangzhou Continent, a little later than the Shining Prediction, and Wen Xin steadily became a member of the late stage of refining.

Characteristics of the late stage of refining: destroying the city with one punch, invincible in the mortal world.

In the early stage of refining, melee combat is strengthened, and in the middle stage of refining, long-range combat is strengthened, and in the late stage of refining, the Qi Refiner has truly surpassed the limits of human beings. After condensing qi and accumulating force for a while, his fist hit the city gate and city wall, and the effect was not inferior to a cannonball at close range, and mortals had no weapons to resist the invasion of qi refiners. Of course, this mortal mortal world is limited to the Xiangzhou Continent Concept Cold Weapon Era, if you encounter a mortal world like the earth in the 21st century, there is no hope of hard resistance to nuclear missile precision strikes in the later stage of refining.

In short, even among the Qi Refiner class, in the late stage of refining, they are also preparatory elites who can take charge on their own.

Under the system of refining qi and becoming an official, the cultivation is higher, and the official position is also improved.

However, it is difficult to find vacancies in the late stage of refining.

The density distribution of Qi refiners in the Xiangzhou Continent is uneven, like a small Lingshan County, when there were only 67 Qi refiners in the middle stage of refining in the past, there were 13 in one town of Fushan Town. You must know that Lingshan County has jurisdiction over ten towns, and Fushan Town is only one of them. Across the country, similar imbalances abound. The lifelong system of officials has led to the alienation of gas refining officials into gas refining feudalism, and under the influence of public opinion, gas refiners always tend to stay in their hometowns. Some of the Qi Refiner families, if the density of local Qi Refiners is high enough to fill the establishment, they simply give up the official seal of the magic weapon of the mid-stage refining level. However, in the late stage of refining, there are not many qi refiners who are willing to give up, so in the middle stage of refining, there is often a phenomenon of migration from different places, flowing from areas with high density to areas with low density.

Lingshan County only has three refining and refining mid-term establishments, which are county commanders, chief officers, county lieutenants and other official positions. In addition, since the number of Qi Refiners in the higher level of Qi Transformation Stage is not enough to fill the county-level establishment, the county-level government will also allocate a number of establishments to reward Qi Refiners who are expected to advance to the Qi Transformation Period. It is a pity that the establishment of Lingshan County and Sanshan County, which governs Lingshan County, has been filled by the pioneers.

Of course, there are vacancies, but they are hundreds of miles and thousands of miles away in other counties. County-level official positions are not allowed to cross county remote control, county-level official positions are not allowed to cross county shouting, and Wen Xin must move out of the household registration to fill the vacancy. Wen Xin has worked hard in Fushan Town for ten years, and Wenjiagang has begun to emerge, how can he give up this foundation? Therefore, Wen Xin decisively gave up the temptation of the official seal of the magic weapon in the late stage of refining, and continued to lead the lieutenant with the late stage of refining, waiting for the forerunner to die of old age to vacate the vacancy.

Lingshan County is not a big county for gas refining, not only are there no Qi refiners during the Qi Transformation Period, but even the main Bo is migrated from other places. Including the main book, plus Wen Xin, Lingshan County has a total of four mid-refining qi refiners, Wen Xinxuan jumped from the thirteenth in Fushan Town to the first in Fushan Town, and rose from the sixty-seventh to the fourth in Lingshan County, and the township tyrant became a county tyrant. Although the official position is still the governor of Fushan Town, few people dare to ignore Wen Xin, the fourth-ranked county tyrant in Lingshan County, under the escort of the late stage of refining, the development speed of Wenjiagang has been further accelerated.

The market in Lingshan County is limited, and the rapid development of Wenjiagang has hit the market bottleneck head-on for several years. As mentioned earlier, under the lifelong system of officials, refining gas and becoming an official is more like a feudal gas refining feudal, and every village, town, county, and county is monopolized by feudal gas refiners. The natives of the Xiangzhou mainland were also aware of this section, but they could not disobey the will of the Qi refiner class, and the coastal merchants could only hope to open up offshore routes and bypass the feudal barriers. There are no qi refiners on the sea, and there is no personal confinement, and countless counties in the south and north of the world are connected, and the maritime trade presents a completely different prosperity from the mainland.

Wenxin is not satisfied with offshore trade.

Now that the conditions are sufficient, why not go to the deep blue and open the prelude to the great voyage?

Of course, it's hard.

There are two main levels of difficulty. First, there is no astrological system on the mainland of Xiangzhou, and once it leaves the mainland and leaves the monsoon, it will not be able to prepare for positioning, and the ships will be lost in the boundless sea. The second is that the ocean does not produce the aura of heaven and earth, and when it leaves the land for more than 100 miles, the aura of heaven and earth immediately decays rapidly and eventually disappears. As early as ancient times, there were qi refiners who relied on the extraordinary power given by the aura of heaven and earth to explore the sea, and were shocked to find that there was no strange natural phenomenon of heaven and earth aura in the far sea, and speculated that the aura of heaven and earth hated the sea or land creatures in order to breed the aura of heaven and earth. In all this, the far seas are full of strange legends.

Wen Xin is also full of curiosity about the open sea.

What is the reason for the absence of heaven and earth aura in the far sea, and can we peek into the laws of heaven and earth aura because of comparative experiments?

The curiosity of the open sea and the remnants of the great voyage made Wen Xin more and more eager to go to the deep blue.

If you want to go to the deep blue, you have to solve the sea positioning system.

The sun does not slant shadows, and everywhere you go, the sun shines directly on the earth; There are no other stars except the sun and moon, how to locate them?

Rao is the sixteenth year of popular science education in the 21st century of the new earth, and he also scratched his head and sighed at the strange celestial system of the continent.

A person has limited energy and ability, and at this time he needs the wisdom of his comrades.

Wen Xin used the knowledge of refining qi and 10 million yuan as bait to reward the two private schools and even the whole country and the world for the problem of positioning at sea.

Five years later, someone unveiled the list.

This person's surname is Shen, and he was originally the assistant of a county official, but when the county official died of old age, Shen's assistant was helpless to lose his job. Shen assistant has been diligent and studious since childhood, well-read and proficient in mathematical calculations, he returned to his hometown unemployed and wanted to organize his memory and compile books, and one day he heard the neighbor sailor talk about strange things about Wen Xin's reward of 10 million, and he was interested in trying to answer.

Shen's idea is magnetic declination.

In other words, there is also a magnetic pole compass on the mainland of Xiangzhou, and the strange phenomenon of "compass is not compass" has been discovered. Wen Xin was not familiar with the knowledge of magnetic field angles, and he was shocked that the geographical environment of the Xiangzhou continent was completely different from that of the earth, and that the sextant was useless to the Xiangzhou continent. Deputy Shen didn't have these distracting thoughts in Wen Xin's mind, and when he followed the county official to the north and south, he not only realized that the compass was not a guide, but also used his excellent mathematical talent to calculate the magnetic declination of various places, and amazingly estimated the approximate location of the magnetic poles. Perhaps due to the special topography of the Xiangzhou continent, or perhaps the aura of heaven and earth has affected the magnetic field, after determining the position of the magnetic pole, the location of places such as Wenjiagang can be determined, and the magnetic declination angle can be measured, and the trigonometric function method can roughly estimate the position of the sea ship. After that, Wen Xin took the magnetic declination incident as a warning to warn himself not to make empirical mistakes again. Wen Xin renamed Shen Mengxi for Shen Kuo, commemorating Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings" for Shen Kuo, and at the same time warning himself not to ignore those seemingly diametrically opposed concepts, but also to encourage himself to work hard to discover the collective wisdom of the indigenous people of Xiangzhou mainland.

With the support of Wen Xin's heavy money, Shen Mengxi, Shen Mengxi, assisted Shen Mengxi, and in just six months, with the assistance of several qi refiners, he developed a three-needle compass navigation weapon.

With a three-hand compass and a trigonometric value table, a sailboat with a calculating navigator could try its way into the Age of Discovery. Wen Xin then offered a large reward for the sailing expedition, and the six sailing ships before and after went to sea ten times and returned safely eight times, which was barely acceptable. Therefore, in the eighteenth year of Wenxin's arrival on the Xiangzhou mainland, the dark blue business group was formally formed, the first phase of the goal was to measure the shape of the coastline of the Xiangzhou mainland, and the second phase of the goal was to expand the navigation distance one after another, looking for other island continents.

The dark blue fleet is quite efficient, and in three or four years, thousands of miles of coastline have been briefly drawn, and the appearance of the Xiangzhou mainland has been presented to Wen Xin for the first time. Staring at the curve of the east coast of the Xiangzhou mainland, Wen Xin almost jumped in shock: although there are many differences in the details, the extension direction of the coastline of the Xiangzhou mainland is very similar to the coast of China, especially the peninsula where Lingshan County is located, which is simply a reproduction of the Shandong Peninsula.

Similarity is similar, but Wen Xin clearly understands that the Xiangzhou Continent is not an ancient Chinese anomaly. The mainland of Xiangzhou has a coastline that is very similar to the Shandong Peninsula, and even to the north there is a coastline that is very similar to the Korean Peninsula, but further north, the similarity comes to an abrupt end. Taking the Eurasian continent of the earth as the standard, the land of the Xiangzhou continent evolved into the coastal area of the Russian Far East, as if it had suddenly been cut obliquely and disappeared without a trace. There are no complete eastern provinces on the mainland of Xiangzhou, no Kamchatka Peninsula, no Siberia, and it is speculated that there may not even be a Mongolian plateau based on known sources.

Strangely similar, yet strangely different.

Something too far away and not thinking about it, Wen Xin continued to focus on the Great Voyage Plan. The east coastline of the Xiangzhou mainland is very similar to the earth's China, so is it possible that the Japanese archipelago exists? From the nineteenth to the twenty-first year of Wen Xin's arrival on the Xiangzhou mainland, the Deep Blue Fleet successively organized three adventurous voyages aimed at discovering Japan, but unfortunately luck did not favor Wen Xin, two voyages were fruitless, and another was suspected of being shipwrecked and missing.

At the same time as the Great Voyage and Great Exploration staggered forward, Wen Xin finally survived the county lieutenant of Lingshan County.

In the twenty-second year of Wen Xin's arrival on the Xiangzhou mainland, the county lieutenant of Lingshan County died at the age of sixty-one, and the vacancy of the county lieutenant was inherited by Wen Xin. The county lieutenant is in charge of the county's military department, which can justifiably expand the sphere of influence. However, at this time, the arrival of the county lieutenant is just the icing on the cake, Wen Xin has long woven a power network through the private school platform and the Wenjiagang platform, in this era of peace, except for the higher-grade magic weapon official seal bait, the official position does not have much influence.

Not even the icing on the cake.

In the winter of 22 years, an unprecedented vicious case suddenly occurred, and the Zheng family, a family of 164 people in Fushan Town's Qi Refiner Family, including two mid-refining Qi refiners and 17 early refining Qi refiners, were tragically wiped out overnight. In ancient times when the ancestral emperor was not born, it was common to slaughter the city and sacrifice the door, but since the ancestral emperor cut off the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, especially in the non-war and peaceful era, there have been only a handful of tragic cases of destroying the door. The only one who can kill the Qi Refiner is the Qi Refiner, and the ownership of the magic weapon official seal belongs to the imperial court, what interest or hatred is worth killing the whole family? The Zheng family's murder case quickly attracted the attention of public opinion, and stabbed in front of the top qi refiners at an unprecedented speed.

Wen Xin, as the county lieutenant of Lingshan County, also passively became the center point of the whirlpool.
