Summary of the Third Volume of the Great Voyage
Okay, having written this, the plot of the Great Voyage has come to an end and will not be touched upon again until a long, long time later. Originally, the author just wanted to write two chapters to wrap up the voyage, but after reading a lot of information, he couldn't help but make it longer! Hmm, let’s think about the reason. Maybe it’s Virgo’s paranoia? If you pursue reality and details too much, it will become too lengthy, haha. Anyway, I found an excuse, don’t hit me because the main plot is too slow. (>^▽^<)
In this chapter about the great voyage, the personnel structure on the sailing ship is briefly summarized. On an ocean-going sailing ship, important positions include: captain, first mate, second mate, navigator, boatswain, quartermaster, chief cook, shipwright, as well as soldiers, clergy and scholars accompanying the ship. Once an ocean-going sailing ship goes to sea, it becomes a small closed society, with different levels from top to bottom, and extremely strict rules. The captain can decide whether the crew will live or die, while other stewards hold power and actually manage certain aspects of the ship. The game between them is the daily life of sailing.
In this era, ocean-going sailing ships left their homeland and drifted on dangerous seas, which could capsize at any time. Most of the sailors from various countries are a gathering of scum. They leave the constraints of their hometown and embark on a precarious voyage, and their evil side is infinitely magnified. An ocean-going sailing ship is a real jungle, and the captain must rely on brutal violence to maintain stability on the ship and suppress the fierce sailors. Looting and massacre ashore were unspoken rules, and mutiny among sailors was common. The extremely aggressive religion of the old era has strengthened the rationality of cruel killings in people's hearts.
Therefore, for the explorers who have left their names in history, they have both a human side and an animal side. (Hehe, just say it quietly, just like Diogo and Diego, pay attention to their names.) In the exploration of America, facing the extremely rich and extremely weak indigenous people, this kind of animality was greatly affected. Excited. Even turned into a pure beast. ┌(.Д.)┐
In addition, the navigation chapter quotes many scriptures and also describes some religious customs of that era. The author just strives for truth and does not have any tendency. If there are any believers, I would like to apologize in advance! 〈（__）〉
Finally, the return to the main line starts tomorrow. Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow! Please encourage me, please support me! (_)
