Chapter 144: Drawing a Map

Zheng He's treasure ship, top floor.

Several navigators, discussing, crossed the white paper on the table.

"Map, have you drawn it?"

After Zhu Zi walked up, he asked directly.

They were all navigators and could draw maps, and the two navigators followed Chen Zuyi to the East China Sea and brought back the map, and the navigators he led went to the Ryukyu Islands.

The two sides can just combine a map to draw out the sea area around Dongfan, and then use this to determine the location of Dongying, which is absolutely the most convenient.

After having the map, he can probably determine where Dongying is, and he won't be confused like before, and he doesn't even know the direction, let alone Dongying's location, the endless sea, without a map, how can he find it.

"Your Highness."

"Now there's a problem, we've all drawn our own maps, but we can't match them with the Wako's maps."

After several navigators saw Zhu Zi coming, they all respectfully moved out of the way and showed the contents on the table in front of Zhu Zi.

They deduced a lot, but they couldn't connect it to the map of the Wakos, and they didn't know if it was because of it.

Zhu Zi looked at the table with doubts, there were already several more maps on the table, several of them looked very fair, they should have been drawn by navigators, and one of them had been yellowed, with strange words written on it, he couldn't see it at all, this map should have been obtained from the hands of the Japanese Kou.

"The map of the Japanese invaders depicts the sea area around Dongying, and you haven't even arrived in Dongying, and there is a big gap in the middle, how can you catch it?"

"Can't you pick it up like this first?"

Zhu Zi put aside the map of the Japanese and picked up the map drawn by the navigator.

With Dongfan as the center, the sea area around Dongfan is drawn, including the location of their Ryukyu Islands and the location of Chen Zuyi and them, all of which are spelled together.

After that, a complete map appeared in front of them, but in this map, there was only Dongfan and the surrounding seas, and there was no Dongying.

The previous idea of the navigator was to connect Dongying, but he didn't think about connecting the sea map of Dongfan, so he kept arguing.

"You see, the map of the sea area around Dongfan has been connected."

"Up to the east, that is, this sea area, called the East China Sea, the last place you arrived, should be halfway to the East China Sea, assuming that this is a sea area, you see, in the upper right corner of this sea area, that is, this map."

Zhu Zi followed the navigators to explain, pointed to the map on the table, and finally landed his finger on the map of the Japanese Kou, which depicted the sea area around Dongying, and it was impossible to connect with them here.

But he can't pick it up, it doesn't mean that he can't think of it, but he knows the approximate location of Dongying, where it is, he knows, but the navigator doesn't know, he roughly describes it to the navigator, so that they can continue to paint with that picture in their minds.

Although they haven't been there, they are navigators, and they know much more about the sea than he does, and he doesn't need to be too accurate about the location, just find Dongying's location and make sure to sail.

The map snatched from the Japanese Kou seems to have no effect at all now, but it will be of great use in the future, and this map is indispensable if you want to determine the location of Dongying.

"You're saying there's still half of the ocean that we haven't been to yet?"

When the navigator heard this, he looked puzzled.

"That's right, it's about half the way."

Zhu Zi nodded.

The distance, he looked at the distance between the Ryukyu Islands and the East, and he could roughly know in his heart, almost half, as for how much, the difference would not be too big.

"Then we get it."

Several navigators suddenly realized.

No wonder they have not been able to determine the course of Dongying, and they have not been able to connect to it, it turns out that there is still half of the sea area that has not been explored, and there is a problem if they can connect it.

After listening to what Zhu Zi said, they didn't continue to entangle, because they all knew, and if they continued to entangle, they couldn't get a result at all, they hadn't been there, they didn't know the situation there, how to draw a map of the sea area? By imagination, by thought? It's simply impossible.

"Okay, I just need to sail, nothing else matters, just determine the direction to Dongying."

Zhu Zi nodded slightly, and after dropping a word, he left here.

He also thought that the map he got from the Japanese Kou was very good, but it turned out that it was only the sea around Dongying, and it was not big.

There are more than 1,000 people, so it's no wonder it's such a small map.

"Your Highness, I finally found you, and before I finished speaking, you left."

As soon as Zhu Zi stepped off the boat, he saw Sang Zhao coming towards him.

Judging by his panting appearance, he should have chased all the way, but his speed was relatively fast, and Sang Zhao was fundamental.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The supplies delivered by Qiongzhou have arrived."

"I've all been put into the barracks, and I just wanted to talk to you, and you're leaving."

Sang Zhao raised his head and said.

The supplies, he received them early in the morning, but he didn't dare to disturb Zhu Zi's rest, until he finished cleaning up and put them all in the barracks, he just wanted to tell Zhu Zi the news, and Chen Zuyi came back.

Just in time, he didn't have a chance to say it, when Zhu Zi just came over, he wanted to say it, but Zhu Zi didn't give him this opportunity to say it.

"Supplies?"

"How come I don't know, what was sent? Take me to see it? ”

Zhu Zi asked with a puzzled face.

He didn't know this news from beginning to end, and it was only a month, from Qiongzhou to Dongfan, but it would take a long time, if it was the fastest speed, it should be a month after they left the island, the materials that were transported to them were also delivered to Dongfan in almost a month.

They came to Dongfan from Qiongzhou, but it took a month, during this period, Qiongzhou was still operating normally, without any impact, and then it was the time after they arrived in Dongfan.

"You come with me."

Sang Zhao didn't say it directly, he sent something, leaving Zhu Zi with a suspense.

After finishing speaking, he took Zhu Zi and walked towards the barracks.

Soon, they came to a warehouse, which was made of wooden planks, and the space was very large, and from the outside, they could see a large building.

"Everything is inside, Your Highness, please come in."

The two came to the door of the warehouse, and Sang Zhao pointed to the inside and said.

Zhu Zi nodded, didn't say anything, and walked inside.
