Baptiste has a pioneer temperament that Sinampei is very familiar with, which can often appear in movies that reflect the Age of Discovery or the westward expansion of the United States, however, in Sinampei's view, Baptiste's temperament is more real.

He was greedy, but he was passionate, hungry for wealth, but equally eager to explore the unknown, and he loved to study things that had not been recognized, and in this regard, Sinampei felt that he was better than the students he led.

But he is not a template character in the script, and he has the temperament of a scholar who has excellent logical thinking.

For example, now talk to Sinampe about how to get to Seris......

"We don't have the material conditions of the Seris, but I'm sure I'm bolder and luckier than them. After exchanging some technical questions on the ship with Sinampei, Baptiste patted his chest confidently, "Mr. Si, you don't have to feel sorry for me...... Actually, I have another plan. Although it seemed that this plan was very risky and made me hesitate to do so, it seems that this is the only way to do it. ”

"Another plan?" Si Nanpei was a little frightened. Without thinking about it, he had a hunch, "You mean ......"

"Go in the opposite direction of the traditional trade routes...... Baptiste snatched the pen from Sinampe's hand, "you and I said that when we were prisoners of war in Caledonia." Oh, what a bad memory. ”

"How much did it cost you to redeem yourself?" Si Nanpei interjected curiously.

"More than three thousand livres. Damn, my brothers almost sold me for the money—they wanted me to fend for myself with the Caledonians! Baptiste muttered, returning to the question of the route, "Division, after returning from there, I thought carefully about what you said to me, and I felt that the new course was very feasible, and I calculated that the diameter of the planet under our feet is about twelve thousand kilometers......"

As soon as Sinampei put the tea he had bought from the Sailis fleet into his mouth, he squirted out again: "Mr. Baptiste, are you not mistaken, twelve thousand kilometers?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Baptiste frowned. The clothes he had just changed were wet by Sinan Pei, and he was very unhappy. After all, his new wife got it for him.

"Although it has not been carefully calculated, I think the diameter of this planet is at least 40,000 kilometers. Sinampei shook his head. In his impression, since the gravity, rotation period and even revolution period of the planet under his feet are about the same as that of the earth, the diameter should also be about the same.

What's more, it's an extradimensional isotope of Earth!

"Mr. Si, I think you should still trust the calculations of professionals in this regard......" Baptiste was stubborn.

Professionals? At most, they are just professionals of this era! Si Nanpei silently complained in his heart, but he didn't know how to refute him. After all, Baptiste, like the average learned person, thinks highly of himself.

"If you talk about distance alone, I am confident that I can walk closer from the west than the traditional trade routes, but the problems are the currents, the reef and the climate...... And in the vast sea to the west, there are no small islands that can replenish fresh water and supplies, which is really a problem. Baptiste looked troubled, "It doesn't feel like things are going to be easy, and the Seris aren't as good as they are as they are rumored." ”

Of course, they are happy to be teachers, but it is difficult to say after having a traverser in charge. And that's not all there is to it when it comes to such a voyage. Sinampei smiled: "So, Mr. Baptiste, how do you raise money? I think even you can't support such a voyage, and you must get the patronage of a royal family to make the trip." ”

It is like Columbus, who once traveled around the world and spent more than a decade lobbying the kings of Portugal, Spain, England, France and other countries in order to seek financial support.

In this day and age, it is still too difficult to sail long distances after all.

Baptiste let out a long sigh: "Money...... Please rest assured, Mr. Si, people with real ambitions will not be stumped by such things as money, sooner or later, I will make the trip. I believe that I will be able to set out while I am alive. ”

"What if...... If I had enough funds, I'd be happy to fund you. Sinan Pei smiled, "I have a hunch that you will definitely go down in history." ”

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Baptiste laughed.

Sinan Pei really has a hunch that the businessman and mathematician from the aristocracy in front of him may be the Columbus of this world.

It seems that Columbus also insisted on sailing westward because he miscalculated the diameter of the earth......

Sinampe and Baptiste talked late that night, and of course, nothing happened between the two big men. Until it was dark outside.

Theresa rubbed her eyes and came to the office where Sinan Pei worked all night in her pajamas: "Si, what are you doing? I waited for you all night and didn't sleep!"

"Uh......" Sinan Pei rubbed his ears, he wondered if he was having some auditory hallucinations, "Your Highness, what did you just say?" I seem to have misheard......

Theresa walked over, pinched her waist with one hand, and grabbed Sinampei's ear with the other hand: "I said, it was not easy for people to make up their minds and wait all night on your bed!

Baptiste, who was on the side, showed a three-view collapsed expression. He looked at Sinan Pei, turned his neck stiffly again, looked at Theresa, and then smirked: "Your Highness, Mr. Si, you two continue, I won't bother here." ”

This...... There seems to be something wrong in this world! Sinampei looked at the half-discarded Theresa, and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness, this ......" I have to say that although she is only seventeen years old, however, this duchess seems to be a little too well developed, at least Sinan Pei has never seen such a well-developed girl in her life - including Russians.

Enough to get into a magazine...... Sinan Pei thought.

"What's this? you're going to tell me something!" Theresa grabbed Sinampe's hand around Sinampe's ear and increased her strength.

"Pain, pain, pain, ......pain," Sinan Pei grinned.

After being silent for a while, Theresa burst into laughter, she let go of her hand and threw herself into Sinampei's arms: "You, this kind of temperament, only I am willing to want you, right?"

Sinan Pei took the opportunity to hug her tightly with both hands.

"It's enough for you alone. ”
