391. Short sword and treasure map made of ribs

The nautical chart was sent to Paul, who looked at it carefully and shook his head: "I don't see that piece of land on the map, and with all due respect, this nautical chart is a bit old, and many of the new continents discovered in recent years are not on the map."

Some newly developed routes are also not marked. ”

As he spoke, Paul took out a parchment scroll from his bosom, and when it was spread out, it was a nautical chart, and he got up from his seat, got down on his knees, and offered it with both hands: "To His Highness!" ”

"Bring it in."

The maid took the parchment, placed it in a tray, and presented it to the royal case.

The parchment rolls are a little yellowish, apparently some years old. The black, red, and blue lines are used to draw continents, islands, as well as continental and submarine topography, mountains, rivers, forests, resources, and so on.

There are also sea routes, currents, danger zones, and port information.

For example, the ink at the port of Dongyang needs to be updated, and it is obvious that Paul has just added it not long ago.

However, although the nautical charts are exquisite, the maps of Jingguo are not standard, not only the size of the country is distorted, but even the shape of the country is also deformed. For example, the Yan Kingdom, the Lu Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom in the south of Jingguo, especially the Yan Kingdom, but the size of Jingguo is almost one-third of the size of Shangjing on the map.

"The name of that land, when I first found it, was still barren on it, with only some traces of indigenous activity.

But in the past two years, because they were discovered and logged in by the people of the Elan country, they proudly shook their two rattling testicles, like an old hen laying eggs, and claimed everywhere that they had discovered the New World, which led to the fame of this land, and it was named Dongluo State. ”

Paul introduced.

Originally, the reputation of discovering the New World should have been his, but he and Olga did not make a noise for the sake of the treasures within, causing the fame to fall to the heads of the Elamans. Now, even if they claim to have discovered it first, no one will believe it, but will think that the two of them are liars who have deceived the world and stolen their reputations.

This kind of grievance is indescribable.

But when you think about it, fame can't be eaten or drunk, and only when it is converted into money can it make a deafening sound. Now, as long as the great king of Wuzhou is attached, it will no longer be a dream to fill the entire "Paul" with gold coins.

Ren Pingsheng glanced up at Paul.

It turns out that this Dongluo state is still a continent that has just been discovered.

"Do you know how to make charts?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

He can make nautical charts, has a wealth of sailing experience, and has discovered new continents.

It's also a talent.

"I'm an experienced captain."

Paul forgot for a moment the caution he had warned himself in the morning, and replied proudly.

Ren Pingsheng found the Dongluo Continent from the map, just east of Jingguo, separated by a sea called Dongyang.

On this continent, a small circle was drawn with a red pen. I think it's where the Paul once landed.

"What else was around when you found this bag and the octahedron?"

Ruan Tang also leaned over to look at the chart, and then asked.

Paul did not know the identity of the woman at the king's side, but she was able to speak on this occasion and was not objected to by anyone, and was obviously qualified to be questioned here.

He didn't dare to slack off, and said: "At that time, we were swept by a hurricane and swept to the Dongluo continent, and we had to repair it because the sailboat was damaged.

In the process of repairing, we went hunting in the mountains of the mainland and found these two treasures in a rift valley.

At that time, they were all on the body of a corpse that had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and all that was left was a black skeleton.

I remember that the skeleton was very tall, more than two meters or even three meters, and the bones were so hard that they could not be broken even by striking with an iron sword, and I also took a rib from its body and made it into a short swordΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

As he spoke, Paul pointed to the door and said, "When you entered the door, the dagger was placed outside. ”

Soon, the dagger was presented in.

Mahogany hilt, pitch-black blade with a metallic edge.

As soon as Ruan Tang beckoned, the short sword flew into her hand. The fingertips flashed arc light, quickly flashed on the black short sword, and said: "There is calcium with bones, as well as other metal elements such as titanium, nickel, silver, lithium, and aluminum, which is also a very strong and stable alloy. ”

"Poof!"

Ruan Tang's fingers quickly slashed across the blade, but her fingers were not injured, but instead ignited a layer of faint blue fire on the body of the short sword, and with a slight shake, the blue flames were shaken into the air and quickly disappeared.

"Are these still human bones?"

Xiao Wan exclaimed.

"It is indeed a human skeleton, Olga and I have looked at it carefully, except that they are taller and have two pairs of ribs than normal people, the rest are almost no different from human skeletons, we guessed that it may be the indigenous people of the Dongluo continent.

I thought that after repairing the Paul, I would leave there immediately.

However, one day when Olga was groping for the polyhedron, a strange treasure map suddenly bloomed on it, and Olga and I thought it might be a worthwhile adventure.

After discussion, we took the men on an expedition, and finally after more than two months of not finding the place shown in the treasure map, we finally had to give up. ”

Paul said.

"Where's the treasure map?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

With a "zila" sound, an electric arc appeared in Ruan Tang's hand, injecting energy into the polyhedron, and the surface of the polyhedron made a "crackling" sound, but it dissipated into the air in a blink of an eye, causing a burst of static electricity in the air, and the tips of the surrounding people's hair couldn't help but float.

But nothing has changed in polyhedra.

And Paul, who was in the hall, secretly said in his heart at this time, the point is here!

He was basically dead set on the treasure map, and keeping it in his hand was originally a thought, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would go to the Dongluo Continent to find it. However, the Dongluo continent has now become a new continent, and it is said that the people of the Ilan Kingdom have found gold in this new continent, so it has attracted people from all over the world to flock to it.

It's not even as good as going to pan for gold.

But now, whether or not this treasure can be sold at a good price here by His Royal Highness King Qi depends on this last trembling!

"The polyhedron was like the eyes of a god, blooming with light, forming a magical map in the void, but it only flickered for a moment before disappearing. For the next two years, no matter how much we looked at it, it never appeared again.

However, I drew a picture of the treasure at that time, please see it, Your Highness. ”

Paul again took out a roll of sheepskin and presented it to the royal table.

Although Paul knew how to make nautical charts, he was obviously not a master of drawing, and the maps were not very good to draw crookedly.

"How can I look at this drawing, it's more like a blueprint of the interior of a building?"

Ruan Tang said suddenly.

Ren Pingsheng rubbed his eyebrows.

Octahedrons, plastic bags, tall people with metal bones, these elements came together, and Ren Pingsheng couldn't imagine where the source of these things came from.

With the doubts in his heart, he chatted with Paul and Olga for a while, but there were no useful details, so Ren Pingsheng asked them to go down first.

"Husband, what do you think?"

Nguyen Sugar asked.

She was very curious. As an engineering expert, she was very curious about polyhedra, and according to Paul, she could not guess how the polyhedron produced images and what energy they were used to provide energy.

"Send a fleet to the Dongluo Continent."

Ren Pingsheng pinched his eyebrows and said.

The distance of 26,000 kilometers could not stop his desire to explore the secrets behind these things.

Paul was so caught up in his own knowledge that he didn't think much of the polyhedra or the plastic bag, instead thinking that the projected figure was a treasure map.

Ren Pingsheng has more knowledge, but it is precisely because of this more knowledge that these things beyond his understanding of the world make him feel uncontrollable anxiety.

Anxiety is a reaction to fear, and this feeling pushes him to want to dig out these unknowns as soon as possible and put them on the surface, so that people can feel at ease.

"Even on Earth, there are many unsolved mysteries. A lot of things, there is no need to put pressure on yourself.

I still remember that you told me before that things are divided into internal and external, internality is something we can control, and externality is something we can't control. We can't afford to be anxious and fearful because of something outside that is out of our control.

In this world, in the face of many things, all we can do is do our best and obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Ruan Tang saw some anxiety accumulated in Ren Pingsheng's heart yesterday.

The difference is that Xiao Wan secretly went to comfort him last night.

And Ruan Tang also fell into curiosity and anxiety about unknown things last night.

When Xiao Wan treats everything, she has always centered on Ren Pingsheng, and everything will revolve around her young master, and the young master's feelings have always been the first question she thinks about.

Ruan Tang is more independent. When she faces a problem, she usually focuses on the problem itself, chooses to share it with Ren Pingsheng, and is more willing to think about the solution to the problem, solve or relieve some pressure for Ren Pingsheng.

The two have different perspectives on the problem, which also leads to the difference in the way the two of them deal with the problem when they actually face it.

"I know, the future is not welcome."

Ren Pingsheng smiled and nodded: "All the troubles in life are just to blame." ”

Distinguish between what you can control and what you can't. This is the basic principle of clarifying the mind, and only by learning to distinguish can the inner mind of a person truly be at peace.

Things are things, and emotions are just reactions to things. It's not the things that affect your emotions, it's the way you look at them. Ren Pingsheng checked his emotions and calmed down, then he carefully thought about the causes and consequences of the whole thing, and perfected his plan for going to Dongluo Continent this time.

"Si Nian is still in Qifeng County?"

Ren Pingsheng thought of Si Nian.

She has strong personal ability, her strength is not weak, and she does things properly.

"Yes."

Xiao Wan nodded and said, "After transferring her to the provincial capital, she has been staying in Qifeng County to wait for a vacancy. During this time, I have been practicing martial arts with Su Qianyun, and I heard that there was a breakthrough in martial arts a while ago and I have entered the Hidden Yuan Realm. ”

"Hmm."

Ren Pingsheng's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

"Transfer a few water system Inhumans from the Inhuman Division.

Then draw a group of people from the night cat organization Tianzihao.

Let the Navy draw three warships.

Si Nian led the team to the Dongluo Continent. ”

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, he thought of Bai Chuchu again: "Is Bai Chuchu's physical condition stable now?" ”

Ruan Tang said: "Once a month, the green fruits in the body have no signs of continuing to deteriorate, and they should be under control." ”

"Then let Bai Chuchu follow and act as Si Nian's adjutant."

Ren Pingsheng said.

Xiao Wan recorded it next to her: "It's almost the New Year, do you want to set off before the New Year?" ”

"After the year, Dongyang Shipyard will have an ironclad ship launched in the next year."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"However, the supply of our ironclad ships is a problem. We had no experience in long-distance voyages, and we had no bases outside, so we had to resupply in public ports. It's okay to say anything else, but the supply of coal is a problem. ”

Ruan Tang said.

Ren Pingsheng turned the space ring on his finger: "This can only prepare some more space equipment, and when the time comes, bring as much coal as possible to prevent the warship from lying on the halfway." ”

Ruan Tang nodded, this is a solution.

Sure enough, this world also has a solution to this world, because of his own professionalism, compared to his husband, the way of thinking that combines the two worlds and two systems is still a little weaker.

"In addition, let's publicize the matter of going to sea to the Dongluo Continent next year, and when the time comes, the maritime merchants with corresponding plans can keep up, and they only need to provide a full cost of warship escort all the way."

Ren Pingsheng said again.

"But if the merchant ships keep up, it will slow down a lot. It takes about 3 weeks for our warship to cross the East Ocean and arrive on the Dongluo Continent, and if you add maritime merchants, we need at least 15 weeks in the world. ”

Ruan Tang took the pen and counted a little on the paper, and reminded.

"Then release the news, this voyage absorbs private investment, and when the fleet comes back, dividends will be distributed according to the investment share."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Okay young master."

Xiao Wan wrote it down.

Looking at the doubts on the faces of the two of them, Ren Pingsheng said: "I'm not because of money. We have a large number of state-owned enterprises, rich taxes, and perfect supporting income, and our finances are not short of money.

I did this mainly because I had just opened the sea, in order to broaden the thinking and horizons of domestic maritime businessmen, and open up their desire and ambition for the deep sea.

This is an opportunity, since there is gold in the Dongluo Continent, then use gold to open up their ambitions. ”

When you go out, you naturally want to maximize your benefits and do something that kills two birds with one stone.

"By the way, is the first stock of the Dongyang Exchange going to be listed in these two days?"

Ren Pingsheng suddenly remembered the official document submitted by the Dongyang Exchange two days ago.

This is a big deal, and Zhongshuge specially marked it in red on his desk.
