Chapter 109: Teleportation Channel
What Ye Jianzang said about seven days later was naturally the opening of the teleportation channel between the Lost Continent and the Drifting Islands.
People with a little brain, after thinking about it a little, it is not difficult to deduce that Lu Hongjian wants to send these two books to Nangong at this time, it will definitely not be untargeted, there must be a reason.
The only explanation is that those two books are closely related to Nangong's trip to the Drifting Islands!
Nangong smiled, and didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, under the expectant gaze of everyone, he cleared his throat, and stood up directly, and then took out the book of "Astrology ......" from the bracelet, and said: "Let's talk about this first, Astrology ."
In the afternoon, he carefully studied the book "Astrology".
Then he discovered something very important.
Something he did beyond his imagination.
Liang Siqin once said that Nangong and his family were from the Drifting Islands, but Nangong was still in infancy at that time, and he had no memory of this at all. Therefore, the drifting islands have always been only in the imagination of Zài and Nangong.
According to the records of those classics that are too ancient to be studied, the war of the gods in ancient times divided the continent originally called "Honghuang" into three, and after countless years of evolution, it became the three continents of Lost, Drifting and Zhongzhou, among which Lost and Zhongzhou maintained their physical integrity, and the Drifting Island Group was called the Drifting Island Group because it was broken into countless pieces and floated between the two continents.
Nangong originally thought that the so-called drifting islands should be like islands on the sea, suspended one by one on the lost continent in a void that people can't see with the naked eye, let the sun rise and set, the tide rises and falls, the vicissitudes of the sea, the years change, for millions of years, unchanged.
Like the stars in the night sky, it has been overlooking the Lost Continent for thousands of years.
However, when he read the introduction to "Astrology", he found that this was not the case.
The reason why the Drifting Islands are called Drifting Islands is not a poetic title added by talented bards to glorify their existence, but in fact, it is literal.
Rafting, rafting.
Drifting is drifting, floating drifting.
Flow is the flow of flow and displacement.
An island group is a group of hanging islands.
The so-called drifting island group is a group of floating islands that wander and wander between the Zhongzhou mainland and the lost continent, just like wanderers who have no home to return to.
"It's like...... There is no difference from the folk sayings?" Ye Jianzang raised his eyebrows, and then clinked glasses with Nangong.
In folklore, the drifting islands are just as he said, in fact, they are just a large group of hanging islands between two continents, just like the stars in the sky, no matter how the world changes, the starry sky has always been there, never changing.
As soon as he drank it, Nangong Ha let out a cloud of wine, shook his head and said, "Young Master, you don't know anything." The root of the drifting islands is not drifting, but streaming. ”
"It's not about drifting, it's about flowing?"
"That's right!"
Nangong filled him with a cup, and then said, "Like you, I thought that the Drifting Islands had been silent for eternity, but in fact it was not. It's always flowing. ”
The two touched another glass, and Nangong's eyes became brighter and brighter before continuing the topic.
After the Great War of the Ancient Gods, the Drifting Islands were shattered into countless pieces. However, these fragments are not static, but are always in flux.
They will drift all the way according to certain trajectories and laws, just like fallen leaves in water, drifting with the tide and never stopping.
Some of these fragments are independent of each other.
"What do you mean by being independent of each other?" Ye Jianzang asked.
Nangong explained: "Being independent of each other means that there will be no collision. ”
"Collision! you mean collision?!"
Ye Jianzang exclaimed, and even the attention of the three girls who had been drinking juice and chatting about some intimate topics on the side also attracted the attention.
"That's right, it's a collision. ”
Nangong said in a deep voice: "These fragments, because their flow trajectories are independent of each other, and the period is relatively stable, so they will not collide with other fragments, so they are well preserved to this day, so only these fragments ......"
"It is only in these fragments that civilizations are derived, which are also the alien races in folk tradition, such as dwarves, elves, giants, and bull heads...... This is the fundamental guarantee for the derivation of civilization. ”
Ye Jianzang said.
Nangong nodded, acquiesced in his statement, and then continued: "These will pass by at certain intervals without colliding with other fragments. It is only at this time that there will be communication between the fragments. On the Lost Continent, there will also be such fragments passing by. The time interval is exactly four years - well, that's the fundamental reason why the teleportation channel is only open once every four years. ”
"This is also the fundamental reason why the major races, including humans, can go to the Holy Land of Zhongzhou through the Guò Drifting Island Group. This time, Ye Jianzang took it very decisively.
"That's right. And those debris whose flow trajectory is unstable and will collide ......"
Nangong suddenly sighed and didn't continue.
Because the answer is already obvious.
The so-called fragmentation is actually a small continent, or rather, land.
When two pieces of land collide, the only result is to shatter, destroy, and then reduce to smaller pieces.
According to the Astral Arithmetic, the remains of these destroyed fragments would re-aggregate in some unknown place, in some unknown way, and then form new fragments, and then start a new drift, and then collide again......
And so on and so forth...... So far, at least, there is no sign that they will stop.
Nangong didn't say these things because it had nothing to do with their conversation this time.
What he wanted to explain to Ye Jianzang and them was the land, or rather, the island group that would not be destroyed and drifted to this day.
There were a lot of peanuts on the table, and the peanuts roasted in the shell were the snacks that Lin Xuanran specially prepared for them to accompany the wine - I have to say, so far, this is the only food she has made that can be called "normal".
Nangong took out a handful of peanuts, sprinkled them on the table, made a simple sand table, and then tried to explain in the most straightforward language: "For example, these peanuts are the drifting islands, they are not static, but flow in a specific trajectory and cycle. ”
He took two plates containing peanuts and placed them on both sides of the peanuts, each representing the Lost Continent and the Zhongzhou Continent, and was about to speak, when he suddenly thought about it, he put the wine glass in his hand under the plate representing the Zhongzhou Continent on the right, and then put a chopstick between the two, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"The plate on the left represents the Lost Continent, where we are now. The dish on the right is the mainland of Zhongzhou, and below Zhongzhou is this cup, which is the most special island. The only way to Zhongzhou is here. ”
"And this island...... What kind of place is it?" Ye Jianzang asked, pointing to the wine glass.
Nangong glanced at him, then shook his head, looked helpless, and said, "I don't know either." ”
"Then tell me ......" Ye Jianzang rolled his eyes, and it took a lot of perseverance to hold back the last word.
Nangong didn't care, just smiled and said, "Although I don't know, I know its name." ”
Ye Jianzang asked, "What's the name?"
"According to human pronunciation, it's called ......"
Nangong hesitated for a moment, moved his mouth for a moment, and then said a very strange name: "Atlantis." ”
Ye Jianzang frowned: "Atlantis?
"I don't know...... I'm just going to say it from the book. Nangong simply spread his hands.
"Don't worry about the details, boy, that's not the point......"
After half a ring, after Nangong learned to say a word in the tone of the eldest young master, he pondered his words, pointed to one of the peanuts and said, "...... If this is an island, this island will pass by this place every other year......"
Moving his finger to another peanut quite far away, Nangong continued: "And this island is four years...... Next to this, huh...... Ten years ......"
"Their respective cycles, their trajectories, are all different, and they will be close to each other and then away from each other...... However, they all pass through this place called 'Atlantis......"
Hearing this, Ye Jianzang couldn't help but say: "Since this is the case, wouldn't the people on the various islands just sit at home and wait, and they can directly reach Atlantis?
“......”
Hearing this, Nangong glanced at him, and simply sneered, with an expression of "you understand, you can tell me".
"Okay, okay...... You have culture, you come!"
Ye Jianzang's curiosity was rising, and he hurriedly confessed when he saw this.
"Snort...... Sample. Liang Zi, who was also attentive to hearing on the side, was very unhappy with Ye Jianzang's interruption, and after scorning him, he continued to look at Nangong with blank eyes: "Nangong, don't pay attention to him, you continue...... And then what?"
"And then ......"
Nangong laughed, and then continued: "Then I have to talk about this book......
He poked his finger at the "Astrological Arithmetic" lying on the table, and then said: "Since the flow of these islands has a specific trajectory and cycle, then...... The point is, let's say, let's say we set out from the Lost Continent and enter a certain island...... Then, you can calculate the route of each island through guò, and thus deduce the time and place of its encounter with the next island. And so on, just like playing chess, the next step, look at ten moves, and finally, we can come up with a clear route that can reach the Zhongzhou continent as quickly as possible, or go to those places we want to go. ”
And this book of "Astrology" is actually a summary of a calculation method, with the heaven and earth Go board, with the archipelago as the chess piece, as long as the calculation is accurate, you can start from the first step, until the final end. ”
"Well, that's the basic situation!" Speaking of this, Nangong breathed a sigh of relief, and finally explained the book "Astrology" thoroughly.
However, as soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Lin Xuanran looked at Nangong in a daze, the peanuts that the little girl was peeling in her hand fell to the ground and didn't notice it, Liang Zi and Ye Jianzang looked at each other, and for a while, they were all stunned.
"What's wrong with you?"
Nangong found out about their abnormality, so he couldn't help but ask.
After half a ring, Ye Jianzang asked out loud: "That...... Can you read this book?"
"Uh...... It seems like...... Isn't it hard?"
Nangong hesitated.
He's telling the truth, it's really not that hard. However, he suddenly noticed that their complexions were a little abnormal, so he was embarrassed to say "too simple" to appear different, but chose a euphemism, and then asked: "What's the matter? What's the problem? The eldest young master is from a famous family, so he should be able to calculate, right?"
"Hahaha! Of course...... Handsome and wise as I ......"
Ye Jianzang laughed three times, and the expression on his face was clearly saying "a trivial matter", but when he raised his wine glass to cover his lips, he secretly swallowed the second half of the sentence with the wine.
"How can it be calculated? such a perverted and complicated thing, you nerd...... Sure enough, he's a pervert!"

(The basic setting of the map in the third volume is out, you can calculate it, and if you are as smart and wise as you, of course it is understandable, right?) After reading the book, vote for a recommendation by the way. )
