Chapter 1367 Everyone Loves the Great Voyage

The plants brought back from South America were immediately promoted, and potatoes, corn, peppers, etc. were planted.

Food is always the most important thing. Only after eating can we study how to cook delicious food. The task of studying dishes was naturally handed over to Cooking Master, and Duran personally brought the food to the door.

When Cooking Master saw that the Grand Master brought ingredients he had never seen before, he was also very interested. Cooking Master, who had an infinite pursuit of eating and cooking, patted his chest and said: I will definitely study delicious new dishes.

"Grand Master, when I went to deliver food to the post station recently, I saw a lot of strange people with white cloth on their bodies. Are they all from the New World?" Cooking Master's current identity has not been exposed, so he is still collecting intelligence for the Mohist School.

"The people you are talking about are from Rome. They are west of us, crossing the desert and climbing the mountains to the west." Duran said, "If you are curious, you can buy a copy of "The Great Voyage" and you will know where the Romans are from."

"The Great Voyage? Did the great master record all the overseas events in it?"

"Not me, but my apprentice, who is the head of the fleet. What he wrote can definitely satisfy your curiosity. There are many secrets in it." Duran pointed out.

Pao Ding remembered it in his heart. As soon as Duran left, he went to the bookstore and saw that there was a great voyage for sale. It was divided into ordinary and collection. The ordinary one was five hundred coins, and the collection version was one coin.

Pao Ding bought a set of the collection version and ten sets of the ordinary version, and sent them to the Mohist disciples stationed outside the city overnight.

After the Mohist master got these books, he immediately started reading them. The world outside the sea is still very attractive, and perhaps he can find information about the treasure of destiny.

At the same time, Zhu Jia and Liu Bang in Zuimenglou were also reading this "The Great Voyage".

There are many people who are also reading it. Of course, they think that the great master has found the fairy mountain, so they want to see what the fairy mountain looks like.

Cai He's writing style is average. This is more of a diary, but the things recorded are very shocking.

"The Great Voyage·Departure Chapter·Day 1", open the cover and get straight to the point. As for what chapters are divided by Duran, in addition to the "Departure Chapter", there are also the "Pacific Chapter", "New World Chapter", "Polar Chapter", "Atlantic Chapter", "British Island Chapter", "Rome Chapter", "Mediterranean Chapter", "Africa·India Chapter", and "South China Sea Return Chapter".

There are ten chapters in total, with an amazing amount of information.

In the first chapter, on the first day, Cai He recorded the size of the fleet, as well as its components, the number of fleets, the number of crew members, the number of soldiers, and the number of miscellaneous personnel.

There is almost no nonsense, and the data is thrown in the face one by one, making the reader breathless.

Then Cai He also wrote about his optimism about this mission, as well as his loyalty to the great master, and of course described his observations of the crew.

Uneasy and nervous, Cai He foresaw that the crew might rebel from the first day.

In addition to the strange customs and practices in "The Great Voyage", the biggest attraction is the mental journey of Cai He and his crew. Cai He grew from a small person who was only trembling with fear to complete the mission to a respected commander in charge of the entire fleet, and the crew experienced wind and rain and became fearless adventurers. The twists and turns in this process are always unexpected.

Everyone holds "The Great Voyage" to study. Cai He found an island shortly after setting off and thought it was the fairy island in the ancient books. When they saw that Cai He thought the fairy island had no highlights, everyone thought that Cai He was ignorant or bragging.

But later they will find that compared with the New World and Europe, these islands are really nothing special. They are just supply points for replenishing fresh water. In the return voyage to the South China Sea, Cai He will land on the supply island again and say: "The world is a ball." Feelings.

Then there was the tedious daily sailing. Although it was very boring, Cai He still recorded it every day, such as when he measured the heading and when he looked at the stars. Of course, it was inevitable to mention the nautical terms here. Ordinary people were confused, but people with discerning eyes found that Cai He could not get lost on the sea by using the stars and compass with the map.

"These are too boring. I want to read the back." Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu read a book together, but Tianming only wanted to read the exciting adventure story.

Xiang Shaoyu ignored him and read it bit by bit.

Finally, they saw the part about storms and rebellion, and the men felt their blood boiling. Although Cai He did not over-embellish, the tension of fighting the storm between the lines was still vivid on the paper. There were many professional terms of navigation that were constantly mentioned, which made people feel incomprehensible. It always felt like Cai He was making a move against the storm, which was shocking.

The decision to abandon the sunken and damaged ships in the end also diluted the sadness. Then there is the rebellion, which makes readers grit their teeth. Unconsciously, they all put themselves in the perspective of Cai He, because Cai He has remained loyal and calm throughout the process to deal with difficulties. He is completely the template of the protagonist.

Seeing Cai He kill the rebels, readers are relieved and cheer. However, the next section of the journey is the low point of the whole book. Cai He and the crew began to doubt whether they can get back to the shore.

Readers can't help but immerse themselves in it, and seem to feel a sense of despair. The vast sea has no end. How can they find the way by relying on the stars in the sky?

Although they know that Cai He must have succeeded, this part still makes readers feel heavy and depressed.

Gai Nie and other masters felt that the readers around them were actually affected by the words in the book, and they couldn't help but secretly exclaimed that it was amazing. At the same time, they thought that it was probably because the words in the book were simple and recorded real people and real events that it was so gripping and people couldn't stop reading.

Then came the discovery of the New World. Cai He recorded the joy at that time, which also swept away the clouds in the readers' hearts. The only regret was that Cai He didn't know what the bird that made him discover the land was called. He was supposed to wait for Duran to name it, but Duran completely forgot.

Then the adventure in the New World and the first contact with the unique natives made people open their eyes. It turned out that there were people living in the forest without clothes, and it was always raining in that place.

Everything in South America was amazing. The collector's edition had three times the number of pictures as the ordinary edition, and they were also in color. The appearance of Mayan warriors, Mayan city-states and Mayan calendars were drawn. The ordinary version could only see the black and white outlines of Mayan city-states.

The types and numbers of goods exchanged are also indispensable. Of course, Cai He did not hide the construction of the "mobile brothel". It is another series of dazzling data, which readers say is very enjoyable.

Reading without sleep and forgetting to eat, after leaving the Mayan civilization, they continued to head south into the world of ice and snow. It was also a painful period. Two ships hit icebergs, and some crew members had to amputate because of frostbite.

But because of the discovery of the New World, Cai He and the crew have begun to believe the words of the great master, so Cai He recorded in the book: Although the cold weather has more casualties, no one complained about returning. It can be seen that the fleet has completely changed.

Cai He even said: I heard from the master that the Far North is also so cold, but I have to take a look if I have the opportunity to tell which side is colder. These optimistic words let readers know that Cai He's heart has completed the transformation.

Entering the Atlantic Ocean, there is another ocean. Cai He said, "After one ocean, there is another ocean. The continent is surrounded by oceans. The master's globe shows that there are more seas and less land. It is true." He also added pictures of the front and back of the earth, with place names, Cai He's previous Pacific route, and his position in the Atlantic Ocean.

This is drawn by Cai He himself, and it is also the first nautical chart in the book. Then he calculated how many days it would take to reach Europe.

Cai He lived by counting on his fingers. Of course, in addition to sailing, he also recharged himself. Occasionally, his log would record his learning experience and unknown questions.

Among them, ocean currents were included. The log said that the sea is not dead water and it will flow. This is the ocean current, but he didn't know how the ocean current flows, and what relationship it has with the survival of marine life.

Until Britain, he met the Celts, and it was a new story. Seeing that the Celts were all hiding, readers were amused and cried; they affirmed Cai He's behavior of leaving food for trial, and said that Cai He embodied the temperament of the Central Plains people.

Of course, readers are also very curious, because they find that the civilization of this place is higher than that of the New World, and Cai He also began to mention the word "Rome" repeatedly at this time, and he praised Rome very much in his words. Readers know that Rome may be a great country like Qin.

I really want to read the rest, but the trade with the Celts is still very interesting, especially the captain's buying of slaves is a variety of ways, which is the first part of the whole great voyage with a lot of laughter.

Patiently, we finally arrived at the Roman chapter, and another huge civilization settlement slowly opened the curtain and showed it to the Orientals. More than two hundred years before Christ, the two civilization systems of the East and the West met in the book.
