Chapter 636: Space-Time Coordinates

The fleet traveled eastward along the African coastline in the Mediterranean, approaching Egypt day by day.

Ji Lingxing, who was looking at the land from the bow of the ship, suddenly said to the tenth sister, "Xiaojian, after you leave Avalon, can you still release your internal strength and external strength?"

"It can't be done anymore. Ji Aojian was a little annoyed, "I've been trying to get back this feeling, but I haven't succeeded yet." ”

"It's okay, you're still young anyway. Ji Lingxing thought for a while, "You can also visit famous mountains and rivers in the future, with the help of spiritual resorts, it is not difficult to return to the innate nature." ”

"Ninth sister, I have almost traveled all over the original style of the land of America. Ji Aojian said with little confidence, "It can be said to be the most pristine area on the earth, and it seems that I haven't found any opportunity for heaven and man to induce." ”

Ji Lingxing disagreed, "You didn't grow up in the Americas, so naturally you don't adapt to the climate there." When you return to China, you will set foot in the legendary 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands, and you will definitely feel very different. ”

"Thank you for your kind words. ”

The little girl said with great interest, "Little sword, when we arrive in Egypt, we will enter the future and pass through the Suez Canal. ”

"yes. ”

"Could that be the time for your iQue?"

"There's no need. Ji Aojian thought about it for a moment and replied, "The level of science and technology in that era is too different from now, if our fleet encounters a modern warship, it will be the fate of being slaughtered." ”

Ji Lingxing asked curiously, "How powerful is the future warship, can't our entire fleet beat one?"

"Modern warships are all automated weapons, and a ship-to-ship missile is fired. A wooden sailboat like ours simply can't withstand it. ”

"Sounds dangerous. Ji Lingxing turned his head and shouted at the black chief walking the crocodile. "Third sister, are we really going to such a terrible era?"

Ji Shengdian waved his hand. "As long as there is a canal, you don't have to go that far. Xiaojian, in what year was the Suez Canal opened?"

"1869. ”

"Well, we'll be fifty years from now. ”

"Fifty years later, it's fine. Ji Aojian breathed a sigh of relief, "At that time, although the naval warships entered the era of ironclad ships, they would not have a completely overwhelming advantage over us. ”

"Rest assured, there were no large-scale naval battles in Egypt at that time, so there wouldn't have been any powerful fleets. ”

Ji Aojian nodded, "Hmm." The second half of the nineteenth century was a relatively quiet era, with the world's great powers busy catching up with the first and second industrial revolutions. ”

After a few days, the fleet reached the mouth of a wide river. The river comes from far south and seems to divide the land of Africa in half.

Ji Lingxing pointed happily, "This is the canal, right, we can go home if we go in?"

Ji Aojian looked helpless, "Ninth sister, this is the Nile." Not the Suez Canal. ”

"Eh, isn't it?" Ji Lingxing suddenly understood, "Yes, you said that the Suez Canal is not available yet." Of course it won't be the river. ”

"The Suez Canal opens on the Isthmus of Suez, and it's a little further east to get there. Ji Aojian said, "But." In ancient Egyptian times, on the Nile. There is an ancient canal that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. If we were to take that canal, we would have to go up the Nile estuary first. Then cross the canal into the Red Sea. ”

"Oh, can't we go through that ancient canal?"

"That canal is abandoned and doesn't exist anymore. ”

"Really?" Ji Lingxing stepped on his leather boots and walked to Ji Shengdian's side, "Third sister, let's take the canal of ancient Egypt, right?"

"Why?"

"Didn't Xiao Jian say that the warships of later generations were very dangerous?" Ji Lingxing replied as a matter of course, "We can also enter the Red Sea by taking the ancient canal, and the navy of that era is completely impossible to be our opponent." ”

Ji Shengdian smiled and touched her head, "But that ancient canal was thousands of years ago. ”

"Huh?"

"Although artifacts can guide us through time and space, they are also limited, and they can't go to ancient times that long. ”

Ji Lingxing drooped his face, "In other words, we can only walk the Suez Canal in a few decades?"

"yes. ”

Ji Aojian asked, "Third sister, what era of time and space can this artifact allow us to travel to?"

"Five hundred years before and after, it should be possible. However, considering that we are going to come back again, it can't be more than two hundred and fifty years. ”

"Why five hundred years?"

"The power of our cultivation world, in order to show that we have vast supernatural powers and know the past and the future, don't we just say that I know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years later?"

"So that's the reason?" Ji Aojian said in surprise, "Third sister, our Chinese cultivation culture has a long history, and the essence is varied. ”

Ji Shengdian smiled, "You're right. ”

"Is there any divine book that once predicted that human civilization would enter the era of industrialization in the future?"

"These prophecy things can't even tell the fate of the society of the current dynasty. Ji Shengdian said lazily, "You still expect to be able to introduce the industrial revolution after the agricultural era?"

But it is said that these prophecies are very accurate. ”

Ji Shengdian is breezy and light: "This so-called accuracy is that future generations will compare the events that have happened with the content of the prophecy to make far-fetched conclusions." ”

"Uh......"

"Haven't you also published books, take any ancient prophecy book, you can stuff the history of later generations into correspondence, as long as you can edit and explain, you can always come through. ”

Ji Lingxing was very surprised when he heard this, "It turns out that the accuracy of the prediction of the prophecy book came from like this?"

"If you can't figure it out, you just go and eat this meal, and after three months of compiling the book, you understand everything. ”

"Third sister, let's talk about going through the Suez Canal from the future. Ji Ao Kendao, "I'm about to reach the location of the canal, how should I get there?"

"We entered the future at night. Ji Shengdian said with a calm expression. "Sneak through the canal in the dark of the night, and come back overnight. As long as everything goes well. No one else in the fleet will find out that they have made a trip to the afterlife. ”

"Uh-huh, what kind of passage is that space-time passage?"

"Be clear. ”

Ji Ao Kendo. "I mean, what exactly does this passage look like, does it appear as a space-time portal on the sea?"

"Oh, there's going to be a huge whirlpool at sea, and when the ship enters the whirlpool, it comes out of another whirlpool, and it's fifty years later. ”

Ji Aojian said worriedly, "A whirlpool capable of devouring a big ship, how dare a sailor drive the ship in?"

"So pass in the dark. Ji Shengdian said unhurriedly. "I will put the whirlpool on the path of the first ship, and each boat in the back will go in a straight line according to the tail lights of the front boat, and then it will enter the whirlpool in turn. ”

"I see. ”

Ji Aojian asked again, "However, after we get out of the whirlpool, we still have to apply to the port to enter the canal, will this be an accident?"

"What do you think will be the surprise?"

"In a few decades, the application process will be somewhat different from what it is now. We are such an antique fleet. Doesn't it seem suspicious that he will be interrogated and detained?"

Ji Lingxing clenched his fists, "We can force our way through, after rushing through the canal." Just go back to the current era, and then there will be no problem?"

"It's not good, if it's too loud. It may lead to other changes. ”

"It's convenient to cross the river, just rest assured. Ji Shengdian said lightly, "After we came out of the whirlpool." Ships will skip the port on the north bank and appear directly in the canal. ”

"Why can you still jump into the canal?" Ji Aojian said in surprise. "We have gone to the future in the Mediterranean, shouldn't we still be on the Mediterranean?"

Ji Shengdian smiled, "Xiaojian, do you think that you have traveled through the time channel, but the era has changed, but the specific location coordinates are still the same as the original?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's no wonder that the reason why you have this idea is because you feel that the earth is fixed, so you feel that the place where you appear will not change through different eras. ”

"This ......" Ji Aojian suddenly felt as if he had made a mistake, "Third sister, what does this mean?"

"To put it simply, the earth revolves around the sun, and the sun revolves in the Milky Way with the entire solar system. ”

Ji Shengdian said with a smile, "For example, if you travel to the earth half a year later, from the perspective of the sun, the earth has turned to the other side of the orbit, so if your location coordinates remain unchanged in the solar system, then you will appear directly in the void." ”

"You're right. Ji Aojian felt a fever on his face, and his consciousness had actually ignored the true structure of the universe.

Ji Lingxing said, "Then when we travel through time and space, do we have to go through multiples of the whole year before we can fall back to our original position on the earth?"

Ji Shengdian shook his head, "It's useless to wear it all year, the solar system itself rotates in the Milky Way, and the solar system a year ago and the solar system a year later are no longer in the same place." ”

A cold sweat broke out on Ji Aojian's head, "It turns out that time and space travel is so terrifying, if you are not careful, you will become a space drifter." ”

"Yes, time and space are the most fundamental laws of the universe, how can it be a simple matter to reverse time and space. ”

"If it's so dangerous, how can we be safe when we travel through the future?"

Ji Shengdian said, "A space-time passage must have fixed space-time coordinates at both ends in order to arrive safely. ”

"Oh, it's okay if you have coordinates. ”

"Our current coordinates include two elements, time and space, and correspondingly, the coordinates of the opposite side also have both time and space parameters, which may have certain changes. ”

"In other words, the spatial position at the other end of the passage will also change?" Ji Aojian understood, "So we can enter the whirlpool from the Mediterranean Sea, and then we will be in the Suez Canal?"

"It turns out that the spatial coordinates can be changed!"

Ji Lingxing suddenly said excitedly, "Third sister, why don't you set the spatial coordinates of the opposite side directly in the East China Sea, and we can go home directly into the Yangtze River after we come out." ”

"Xiaoling, it's too easy for you to think. Ji Shengdian sighed, "Even a slight adjustment of the space-time coordinates may cause drastic changes in other parameters. The space-time vortex I guided with the artifact is based on the sea water of the Mediterranean Sea, and for the stability of the spatial coordinates, the range of change cannot be too large, so it is impossible to jump into the East China Sea. ”

"I see. (To be continued.) )
