The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 1714: North sun

"Head, can't we go any further." A thin sailor on the merchant ship "Seed" sailing on the southern ocean whispered.

"Why?" the captain of the Seed asked.

"Look. The sun. Did we go wrong?" the thin sailor said, pointing at the sun at this time. The captain looked up at the sun at this time.

"What's the matter?" the captain asked.

"No." The captain reacted quickly after seeing the sun.

"The sun. Why is the sun behind us. It should be in front of us." The captain realized the problem at this time.

"Yes. Some time ago, the sun was still in front of us. The sun has suddenly come behind us these days, did we go wrong?" the thin sailor asked at this time.

"This." The captain didn't know why.

"Go. Skinny, find the first officer. I want to ask him what's the matter?" The captain said worriedly at this time. The biggest difficulty in sailing is to figure out the direction. If the direction is wrong, then they will go wrong as a whole.

"The sun is in the south. If this is the case, then we are in front of the north. We have been heading south." The captain thought to himself.

"Did we go wrong." The captain was shocked.

"That's not right. We have been walking toward the south. And there is nothing we have seen these days. If we come back, we won't be able to encounter this problem." The captain thought to himself.

"Captain. What's the matter?" The chief mate quickly walked to the captain.

"Let's go in and talk. This is not a place to talk." The captain said politely. If the sailors knew they were going in the wrong direction, morale would suddenly drop a lot. In order to avoid such things from happening. Therefore, the captain and chief mate talked about this in private.

"How is it possible?" the first officer exclaimed.

"How could we be heading north? If that's the case, wouldn't we just go back?" the first officer yelled.

"Calm down," the captain said with a wave.

"Captain, you can look at the compass, our course is indeed heading north." The chief officer said.

"I admit this. It is true." The captain looked at the compass and said.

"But, the sun, why the sun is behind us. If we go south. Why is the sun in the north. This. This is incredible." The captain couldn't explain the reason, and waved.

"Captain. It doesn't mean that the compass is wrong," the chief officer said while looking at the captain.

"En. You take a few more compasses and look at it, yes. Also you find a magnet. Let's make one and see by ourselves." The captain said carefully. About this question. He really couldn't figure it out. If it really means that the compass is broken. Then they were really wrong.

The first officer left quickly. And the captain carefully checked the logbook, carefully pondering the reason.

Then the first officer brought more north arrows. The captain and the first officer carefully compared the north arrows. All the north arrows were in the same direction. The north arrow showed that they were heading south, but the sun was used as an indicator. The sun turned out to be behind them, which is to the north. At this point they really don't understand the reason.

"Captain, we are walking to the south. There are several islands around here. You have seen it too. We have not been here. And the vegetation on it is different from what we saw before." The first officer looked at the captain and said To.

"I know all this, but the sun doesn't move. Why did it go to the north all of a sudden." The captain was sure at this time that they were indeed heading there, because all the maps on the logbook had the same trend. . This shows that they did not make a mistake. Nothing is wrong. They can't be wrong. But the sun, why is the sun in the north. This really makes the captain puzzled.

"Captain." The chief officer looked at the captain, and wanted to let the captain continue to explain something.

"Let's do it," the captain said.

"Let's look at a few more islands. Then we will go back. See the situation." said the captain.

"En." The first officer nodded at this time. Actually. This is a geographical knowledge, because most of the Korean merchant ships used the sun as a reference in a position north of the equator. But as they went south. They crossed the equator. When they used the sun as a reference again, they suddenly found that the sun was in the north. In an agricultural civilized society. The sun is immobile and unchanging. The incident that the sun suddenly ran to the north left them at a loss. The captain and the chief mate only know a few geographical knowledge, but don't know much about the overall geographical knowledge. It's not just these. Although the people of Qin had some knowledge of geography, they were unable to prove the occurrence of this phenomenon. This also led to such a scene.

The Korean Express Crossbow sailing in the north slowly drifted to a place unknown to them following the North Pacific ocean current.

"This kind of sailing is really comfortable." The captain said to the second officer.

"Yes, sir." The second officer said happily. The captain and the second mate were lying on the front deck basking in the sun, where the sun was shining. Coupled with ocean currents, they don't know why. Even if they don't raise the sail, they can still sail. They don't know about ocean currents, but they know that as long as it is calm and calm. In this way, they can directly reach an unprecedented place.

"Second mate, how long have we sailed?" the captain asked.

"I don't know. Captain? I think it's been about half a month," the second officer said.

"That's right. Before, we always encountered some storms. Or something that didn't go well. I worry every day that such good weather is really pitiful." The captain said comfortably.

"Yes. Captain. We should enjoy this moment." said the second officer.

"But, we are here, how long will it take to reach the land. If we can not find the land, our first officer will be very anxious." The captain said.

"Hi." The second mate saw the first mate come up at this moment.

"Sir. Have a drink?" the second officer asked Qin Guo Lijiu.

"No. I want to say a few words to the captain." The first officer said unceremoniously.

"Okay. Go ahead," said the captain.

"We are running out of supplies. Fresh water has three or four days. There has been no rain these days. We need to find an island to replenish our fresh water. Otherwise. We can only drink our urine." Speaking politely.

"Oh. I see. Don't we still have wine?" the captain said to the first officer.

"Okay. My first officer," said the captain.

"Food, we can eat some fish, fresh water, I will find a way. Be optimistic." The captain said.

"The other thing is. Our people have some diseases. They need treatment." The first officer said worriedly.

"En. I see." The captain nodded.

"Captain. I'm busy." said the first officer. Then left.

"Look. A lot of things," the captain said.

"Captain." The second mate said while looking at the captain.

"Do you think we are sailing right this time?" the captain asked.

"Yes. Sir." said the second officer.

"En. Well said." said the captain.

"I believe we are right. It must be right," the captain said.

The Western Regions of Qin State.

"Damn it. These **** cavalry have appeared again." Major Bai, the highest commander of the Little Stone Fortress, said while looking at the enemy.

"Sir. Something is wrong. They don't seem to belong to the Western Regions." A second lieutenant officer observed.

"What? Not from the Western Regions, is there anyone else?" Major Bai cursed loudly.

"Sir. It's definitely not from the Western Regions. There won't be so many cavalry in the Western Regions, and they are so neat. The army of the Western Regions will not be so well-trained." said the ensign.

"Let me see." Major Bai saw then.

"Yes." Major Bai pointed.

"Could it be the unknown army from the small fort?" Major Bai said.

"It seems that the sir, they bypassed the small fortress." said the ensign.

"No matter what, they will be blocked, and they must not be allowed to come over casually." Major Bai ordered.

"Yes. Sir." The ensign agreed. At this time, the Qin Army had entered a state of combat. The defense of the small stone fort is more than five hundred people. The defense system is very complete. And the army just stayed far away from the small stone fortress, and they fought against the Qin army. Knowing that the other party is very difficult to deal with, so they stay away from it. Just watching from a distance. Does not take the initiative to launch an offense.

The two sides confronted each other coldly.

"Gentlemen?" Shang Wen said while standing in the hall. This is a routine pilgrimage. Although Shangwen does not have to come to court every day. Because a large number of economic affairs need to be dealt with in writing, taking into account the special circumstances. King Qin allowed it. But before the end of the month, Qin will hold a North Korean meeting to focus on solving outstanding problems, but there are not too many outstanding problems. Every time, Shangwen felt like making some presentations in Congress.

"I know, you think that Qin State should not help Zhao State, but we must help Zhao State." Shang Wen said to everyone.

"It’s not my personal reason, it’s the real situation. The need to do this, unification may not be achieved by the use of force. Economy, especially money, huge capital is also an effective weapon. This kind of weapon is invisible and can kill the enemy, and at the same time , It can also kill the heart of the enemy, which is much easier to use than those powerful weapons." Shang Wen said.

After hearing Shang Wen's remarks, the ministers all sighed. Expressed that he did not understand Shang Wen's point very much.

"Quiet. The prime minister goes on speaking." King Qin said calmly instead. Patiently listen to Shangwen's explanation.

"Yes. King." Shang Wen said with salute.
