Chapter 346: Romantic Mediterranean

"For this kind of thing, just look away. Saying that, he jokingly said: "Tiandu, you crisscross the heavens, you should see too much of this kind of thing." ”

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Okay, the sad things are over, let's talk about something happy now." He flew forward in a hurry, and after about 300 kilometers came to a halt.

Du Lengqiu said: "This is roughly the Mediterranean. ”

Speaking of the Mediterranean, his tone was a little emotional.

"At Blue Star, people joke about the Mediterranean. When people reach middle age and become greasy uncles, and the hair in the center of their heads falls out, they will call their hairstyles Mediterranean hairstyles. ”

He pointed down and said, "This is the Mediterranean." ”

Under their feet there is no end to the ocean, and the blue waves are overwhelming. At this time, it is the beginning of the rising sun, sparkling and rippling with golden light.

And in the sky, there are gulls flying back beside them. From time to time, snow-white birds plunge headlong into the sea in search of food for their stomachs. Tiandu and Tianji have no feeling for the Mediterranean Sea at all, but this situation still makes a pleasant feeling rise in the hearts of the two.

Tiandu laughed twice cooperatively, and said, "Haha, yes, it's really a good scenery here." ”

"The Mediterranean, which later became affectionately known as the Great Bath, is best suited for beginners because of its perennial calmness. Why did the Great Voyage originate in Europe? The Mediterranean Sea played an important role. ”

Du Lengqiu sighed with emotion, but the two of them were confused.

Seeing that this was the case, Du Lengqiu no longer played with the pipe, and said directly: "Let me tell a love story about the Mediterranean!"

"In ancient times, there was a king named Minos, who ruled over Crete, an island in the Aegean Sea. Minos' son was murdered by a conspiracy at Attice, Athens. ”

"In order to avenge his son, Minos challenged the people of Athens. Under God's punishment, Athens was plagued by famine and pestilence. At the challenge of Minos, the Athenians sued for peace with King Minos. Minos asked them to send seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every nine years. ”

"Minos built a labyrinth of palaces in Crete, and the roads were so winding that no one could get out. In the depths of the labyrinth, Minos raised a wild beast with the head of a bull, the Minoan Ox. ”

"Each time Athens sent seven pairs of boys and girls were offered to the Minoan cow to eat. This year is again the year of the worship of virgin boys and virgins. Parents of boys and girls were terrified.

Theseus, the son of King Aegean of Athens, was deeply disturbed by the sight of such misfortune befalling the people. He was determined to set out with the boys and girls, and vowed to kill the Minoan cow.

The people of Athens wept and mourned as they bid farewell to seven pairs of boys and girls, including Theseus.

Theseus made a pact with his father that if he killed the Minoan ox, he would turn the black sails of the ship into white sails on his return. As long as the black sails on the ship turned white, it proved that the Aegean king would be able to see his son Theseus again.

Theseus led the virgins ashore in Crete.

His handsomeness attracted the attention of the beautiful and intelligent Princess Ariadne, the daughter of King Theseus. The princess professed her affection to Theseus and secretly met him.

When she learned of Theseus' mission, she gave him a magic sword and a ball of thread to prevent Theseus from being harmed by the Minoan Bull.

As soon as the wise and brave Theseus entered the labyrinth, he tied one end of the ball of thread to the entrance of the labyrinth, then let go of the ball of thread and walked along the twisty and complicated passage towards the depths of the labyrinth.

Eventually, he finally found the monster Mino.

He grabbed the Minoan by the horns and, with the sword given by Princess Ariadne, fought to kill the Minoan bull. Then, with the boy and the girl, he walked out of the labyrinth along the line.

In order to prevent the pursuit of the Minos king, they scuttled the bottoms of all Cretan ships on the seashore. Princess Ariadne helped them and escaped from Crete with them and set sail for their homeland.

After a few days of sailing, I finally saw my motherland Athens again.

Theseus and his companions were so excited that they sang and danced, but he forgot his promise to his father and did not change the black sail to a white one. The Aegean king, who was waiting for his son's return, was waiting for his son's return by the sea, and when he saw that the returning ship was still hanging with black sails, he thought that his son had been eaten by a Minoan cow, and he was so grief-stricken that he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. ”

"In honor of the Aegean King, the sea he jumped into has been called the Aegean Sea ever since. ”

Du Lengqiu told the whole story in one breath, then looked at the two of them, pointed at them casually, and said, "Two hundred miles to the north is the Aegean Sea." ”

"How's this love story going?"

Tiandu applauded and said, "It's really a good story." ”

Tianji lightly opened his lips and said, "Stupid woman!"

Du Lengqiu was choked instantly, and he felt that Tianji was estimated to be a female boxer. What a poignant story, how stupid she is when she comes here.

Next, he started a career in science popularization and became a science host.

The earliest Jews and ancient Greeks simply called it "sea" or "sea". Because in ancient times, people only knew that the sea was located between three continents, so it was called the "Mediterranean". The spelling of English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian comes from the Latin Mare Mediterraneum, where "medi" means "in...... "Terra" means "land", and the full name means "sea in the middle of the land".

The Mediterranean Sea is a type of sea.

The term "sea" refers to the marginal part of the ocean. According to their location, they can be divided into three types: marginal sea, Mediterranean sea, and inland sea.

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea located between continents, also known as the "intercontinental sea". It is large in size and depth, and is connected by straits and adjacent sea areas or oceans. Such as the "Mediterranean" between the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. The Caribbean Sea, located between North and South America, is also part of the Mediterranean Sea. Turks and Greeks sometimes referred to the Black Sea as the White Sea in order to distinguish it.

The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean to the west by the Strait of Gibraltar and to the Black Sea to the east by the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus.

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the oldest seas in the world, while its attached Atlantic Ocean is a young one. The Mediterranean Sea is located at the junction of the Eurasian plate and the African plate, and is one of the strongest seismic zones in the world.

The Mediterranean Sea is a popular holiday destination for dignitaries and tourists from all over the world, and the Aegean Sea in the east is the cradle of Western European civilization.

After Du Lengqiu finished popularizing science, he immediately launched the mockery mode.

He took the two of them along the Mediterranean Sea, flew to the Alps, and stopped far above the waves of the sea. The Alps are one of Europe's most famous ski destinations, and countless people visit them every year. Today, there are more people than ever before.

Countless refugees poured in, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so dense that the entire mountain range became an ant's nest.

What is the population of Europe as a whole?

I don't know, but there are more than 100 million people in Britain, France and Germany, and how many people are here?

Don't ask where the rest of the people are?

At the moment of the cataclysm, the shortcomings of the low altitude of the European continent were unintentionally exposed. Their miserable situation is predestined.

Du Lengqiu set a footnote for the whole of Europe, "While you enjoy its convenience, you are destined to endure its tribulations, the question is only when it comes." ”

After a pause, Du Lengqiu lightly spit out four words, "Europe is dead!"
