Chapter 8: The Big Ship

A short figure ran in the distance. "The fourth young master is back, and the old lady has asked several times."

The person who came is Shanquan's eldest daughter Hanxiang, who is 14 years old this year, has completed six years of compulsory education, and would rather work than study.

Zhou Bei's mother left her at home to help with some light chores, her favorite thing is to work for Zhou Bei, claiming to be Zhou Bei's maid all day long, wanting to add fragrance to her red sleeves.

However, she is young and long, and she can only be regarded as a middle-aged person, and the arrogant Zhou Bei did not provoke her.

Glancing at the woman over there. "Mother, they're still working?"

Hanxiang nodded and said with a smile: "It's just picking peanuts, it's not tiring, everyone is talking and laughing together, it's very lively." ”

"See." Zhou Bei turned his head and walked to his wooden house, and ordered: "You just tell your mother that I'm back, so that she doesn't have to worry, I'll go take a bath." ”

The Zhou family's farm is a large courtyard, with several small courtyards at the back, and two rows of warehouses.

Zhou Bei didn't like the houses in the courtyard, so he built a two-room wooden house by the pond, living in the wooden house in the summer and returning to the courtyard in the winter.

The wooden house is built of logs, built on the other side of the pond by Zhoubei, ventilated on three sides, and it is very cool to live in in summer, and many times there is no need to turn on the fan.

It's a bit far from the main courtyard, but it's only a few dozen meters away from his warehouse.

At the door of the wooden house, a bunch of keys appeared in Zhou Bei's hand, opened the door, and then opened the door of the inner room, and hung the door lock on the lock.

He took out his wallet, and the wallet and keys disappeared again.

This is a casual wooden house, with a circle of fabric sofas and a water heater for boiling water, which is convenient for receiving guests.

There is not even a desk in the back room, except for the bed under the window, a wardrobe, and a locked iron cabinet on the curtain wall connected to the living room.

There are guns in this iron cabinet, and Daming can't help but have long guns, so Zhou Bei bought two shotguns, and one was a rifle issued when he was in service last year.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have to cultivate the secret of longevity since they were young, and they have to serve for three months between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, and if they do not join the army, they will be incorporated into the reserve militia, and if they are in the army, they will naturally follow the establishment of the army.

However, the Ming Dynasty almost ruled the whole world, except for local soldiers, there were only a few land forces.

The navy is very large, and the Ming Dynasty has nine fleets and hundreds of military bases in the world, occupying almost all the checkpoints and key points in the world's seas.

However, after the navy and this part of the army entered, they had almost no worries for a lifetime, the requirements were very high, and the management was very strict, so Zhou Bei had no idea of joining the army.

However, between the age of eighteen and twenty-six, the people of Dongzhou must serve for half a year and be transferred to the reserve.

Emperor Gaozu returned to heaven last year, he dropped out of school, entered the local army of Xuezhou County for half a year, went to Yingtianfu to apply for a patent after the Spring Festival, and did not come back until May, preparing to enter school in August.

originally thought that there would be no foreign troubles, and he would only be able to marry her when he was eighteen years old, but now he is facing greater changes.

Sighing, Zhou Bei took the inner library, went out again, followed the plank road by the wooden house, came to the top of the pond, and jumped down.

Stimulated by the cold pond water, he couldn't help but shiver, but he felt comfortable from head to toe.

The sounds of frogs, small animals, and birds are endless, which not only does not make people irritated, but also makes people more peaceful.

After taking a bath, from the bluestone slab by the pond, Zhou Bei climbed the plank road with both hands, came up to wash his feet, and put on slippers.

When he entered the house, he looked left and right, but no one came.

After entering the house, he locked the door, entered the bedroom, opened the window, turned on the fan, and returned to the living room and closed the bedroom door.

After listening to the movement around him, he flickered his gaze, and the person disappeared without a trace.

His figure appeared on a huge ship, this giant ship is a 120,000-ton bulk carrier, there are five cargo holds, except for the container space at the stern, the other four have three are covered, there is a brand new Mercedes-Benz big G and a motorcycle, parked on one side of the cargo hold.

The cargo hold next to the container hold does not have a lid because there are several large construction machinery standing tall.

Zhou Bei's figure appeared on the roof of the control room at the stern, surrounded by a radar and the ship's electronic equipment.

It is more than 20 meters high from the deck, and from a distance, it is surrounded by the vast sea.

However, the waves of the sea seem to be frozen, and there is no sun in the space, but there is light, and it is in a strange state.

Everything here seems to be fixed, and only Zhoubei can move.

He also put down his lifeboat and loaded it with gasoline to explore, but after going less than a kilometer, he couldn't move forward and had to return.

This huge freighter is a gift from Qiu Ming, but Zhou Bei has not been able to figure out how this secret space came to be until now.

Around him, on the platform on the roof of the building, a large pile of materials for various cooked foods and wild game delicacies, these cooked foods were in the state when they were brought in, and the meat was also in its original state.

It's scorching heat outside, but the temperature inside is only about 20 degrees Celsius, and because there is no time to pass, it's very pleasant.

This is one of Zhou Bei's biggest secrets, and it also gives him enough courage to move forward in this world.

An even bigger secret is his dreams.

He is a native of this Ming Dynasty, but when he was six years old when he went to school, he suddenly had the memory of a man named Qiu Ming in another world.

This kind of memory did not enter his head all at once, but every night when he dreamed, he would observe Qiu Ming's life.

He is like a TV in another world, he can grow up with Qiu Ming every day in his dreams.

Qiu Ming was twelve years old at the time and was about to graduate from primary school. Qiu Ming can also remember the knowledge he has learned, and every dream is Qiu Ming's two-day experience.

It was a terrible nightmare for the six-year-old, who was afraid, terrified, and even afraid to meet people.

However, no one believed him, but thought that he had a mental problem.

It took two years for him to learn to hide what he saw and heard in his dreams and get used to it all.

From six to fourteen years old, Qiu Ming in the dream was from twelve to twenty-eight years old.

Through the study of another world, he learned the timeline of the two worlds, which was five hundred years apart.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the two worlds were almost identical.

The change began to change from the Gaozu Emperor of this world, the Gaozu Emperor of that world only lived to be thirty-six years old, but the Gaozu Emperor of this world lived to be one hundred and fifteen years old.

The Ming Dynasty of that world was disturbed by the grassland, but the Ming of this world almost unified the world.

Except for northern Africa, southwest Asia, and a few countries in Europe, other places are all the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty in that world was still a feudal society, and the productive forces were backward, but under the hard work of Emperor Gaozu, this Ming Dynasty vigorously developed science and technology.

In just one hundred years, Daming has entered the era of electricity.

However, relying only on the traverser Emperor Gaozu and the suspected traverser Lan Guifei, the development of the Ming Dynasty was uneven.

The development of the other world is balanced, but this world, in terms of machinery, aviation, ships, and biology, has reached the level of the forties and fifties of the twentieth century.

But in other respects, it is only at the level of the nineteenth century, or the beginning of the twentieth century.

For example, in terms of electronic technology, the Ming Dynasty is very backward, cameras have appeared for 80 years, and movies have appeared for 50 years, but TV sets have not been heard of so far.

Since Gaozu was old, the scientific and technological development of this world has fallen into a period of burnout.

Maybe it's because there is no war.

In another world, because of war, science and technology have developed rapidly.

In this world, the Ming family is dominant, there is no threat of war, and the pace of scientific and technological development is much slower.

At first, Zhou Bei thought about learning the technology of another world and becoming a person like Lan Guifei, Ma Dian, and Da Vinci who could change the world.

However, Qiu Ming was only a teenager on the outskirts of an inland city, and he did not like to study.

Qiu Ming graduated from high school and was not admitted to college, so he chose to become a soldier and became a soldier king.

And everything that Qiu Ming has learned, Zhou Bei in this world has also learned.

In the year 2008 of the other world, that is, in the year 4705 of the Yellow Emperor calendar, Qiu Ming was 24 years old and entered a special department.

After that, Qiu Ming stayed in Europe for two years and later went to Africa.

It was also during this period that Zhou Bei learned French with Qiu Ming and learned that there was a novel worldview that traveled through novels and parallel worlds.

For the first time, he suspected that Emperor Gaozu was a traverser, and thought that Lan Guifei, who independently created the fields of Daming biology, pharmaceuticals, and chemistry, was also suspected of being a traverser.

Moreover, as time goes by, Qiu Ming has read more travel books, and he has become more and more sure.

Zhou Bei was 14 years old, in another world In 2014, 28-year-old Qiu Ming was on a mission to escort the freighter to Africa, and when he entered the waters of South Africa, the cabin suddenly exploded and killed him.

Qiu Ming's death caused great mental damage to Zhou Bei, and he once again couldn't control his emotions and didn't recover until two months later.

The mental trauma slowly recovered, and Qiu Ming's death brought him pain, but it also left him three inheritances.

An inheritance is that he no longer dreams of Qiu Ming, and the one connected to his dream has become Qiu Ming's younger brother Qiu Liang.

It's just that his dream was Qiu Ming's two-day experience, but now it has become one day after Qiu Liang, and the timelines on both sides have returned to the same.

Qiu Liang is Qiu Ming's younger brother, but he is ten years younger than Qiu Ming.

In 2014, he was just eighteen years old.

Different from Qiu Ming's growth environment, when Qiu Liang was young, Qiu's father was laid off from a small factory and opened a car repair shop.

When Qiu Ming was on a mission abroad, he earned a lot of foreign exchange.

The city of my hometown is a provincial capital, equivalent to the state capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the city has expanded rapidly, and the original suburbs have developed rapidly.

Qiu's father originally made a living by repairing cars, and the original homestead demolition, shop demolition, and land expropriation made the Qiu family richer.

After Qiu Ming's sacrifice, a large amount of subsidies allowed the Qiu family to enter the wealthy class.

Qiu's father opened a car 4S shop, and Qiu Ming also likes cars and often helps at home.
