Datang Nongwang

Chapter 733 Something Happened

It doesn't matter whether they are from foreign lands or from wild places.

Or people from other lands.

There is no one who does not yearn for Tang, and there is no one who does not yearn for Chang'an.

Tang people have always claimed that Tang is the center of the world, and even the center of the world.

Up to the princes and nobles, down to the common people of Li and common people.

There is no one who does not think that his country is the center of the world and the center of the world.

Whether it is the center of the world or the center of the world, this is a problem that is difficult to explain, and it is also a problem that cannot be defined.

If the center is determined by civilization, then Tang State is undoubtedly the center of the world.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

The current West is still in the era of slavery, and it has not yet entered the feudal monarchy.

At least.

It is estimated that it will take thousands of years for the western countries to enter the feudal monarchy.

in those days.

The country where the sun never sets has opened the age of great exploration, and it has plundered everywhere, and it has taken people everywhere.

It is understandable to plunder, but captivity is a big problem.

The captive can only become a slave, either die or work for his master.

and so.

Defining the center of the world in the form of civilization, there is no doubt about the current Tang Dynasty.

If the center of the world is defined by geographical location, it is even more unclear where it is.

Every country defines its own national capital and its own country as the center of the world.

Although there is a world center in a narrow sense, who would admit it?

Back to the point.

But Yu Zhi looked at the fleet going away, and yearned that his own country could also build a ship like Li Chongyuan's, so that he could go to Datang again.

Of course, there is still a dream in Yu Zhi's heart, that is, he wishes to live in Datang and Chang'an.

Chang'an City was the place he lingered in his dreams.

Ever since he went to Chang'an once, he would appear from time to time whether in his dreams or when chatting with others on weekdays.

The city walls of the Tang Dynasty, the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, and the girls of the Tang Dynasty.
These are what he yearns for, and what he most wishes to see and possess from the bottom of his heart all the time.

but.

As the prince of Liugui Kingdom, he has his mission and responsibility.

When Li Chongyuan's fleet was no longer visible on the surface of the sea, Yu Zhi also had a great dream in his heart.

And this dream is to build a ship.

We can't build a big ship like Li Chongyuan's, but at least we need to build a ship the size of Li Chongyuan's Type C paddle steamer.

As long as such a ship can be built, Yu Zhi can go to Datang again to realize his dream.

At the same time, he hopes that he can bring some culture and skills of the Tang Dynasty to the country of Liugui, so as to make the country of Liugui stronger.

although.

There is no war between Liugui Kingdom and Qudumei, but there is no war with Yasha Kingdom.

But who can predict the future.

But what dreams and thoughts Yu Zhi has, Li Chongyuan at this moment doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.

Li Chongyuan and the others left Liugui Country and headed towards the northern end of Liugui Country's east coast.

The Yecha Kingdom is unable to go on a mission, and Li Chongyuan has no official business to deal with at present, and needs to plan. He just needs to plan the next journey well.

What happened on the other side of the ocean, Li Chongyuan didn't know.

In the previous life, Li Chongyuan only learned about it from some documentaries, but he didn't have any chance to go there to see and understand.

now.

In order to go to the other side of the ocean, I have built ships for several years.

even.

The plan to set sail in the middle of this year was directly advanced by more than half a year by Li Shimin's decree.

Fortunately, their fleet is big enough and there are enough.

Even the staff and so on were brought in temporarily.

This disrupted Li Chongyuan's original plan, so he could only let the crew members conduct a simple training on the ship.

It has been nearly half a year since I left Xisha Island last year.

After half a year, the relationship between the crew members has almost improved.

It's not too early to head to the other side of the ocean.

three days later.

When Li Chongyuan and his fleet had left Liugui Country and had sailed for [-] miles, the ships in front stopped suddenly and sent flags to the ships behind.

"Xiao Langjun, there is news from the ship ahead that there is ice on the sea ahead and it is impossible to move forward." After receiving the semaphore from the front, Xingba ran to report to Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan was dumbfounded when he heard the news.

Li Chongyuan, who had been drawing maps, was confused by this news.

Yes, I was a little confused.

Li Chongyuan really didn't think about this problem.

Now, it is April.

In April, according to the normal time, the ice or snow should be in the melting stage.

However, this is Li Chongyuan's thinking based on the situation of Tang State.

But Li Chongyuan forgot that this is the Bering Sea, and it is also one of the most difficult seas in the world.

There is ice here all year round.

Originally, Li Chongyuan wanted to go to the opposite side from the nearest place of the two continents.

But the reality hit Li Chongyuan really unexpectedly.

Li Chongyuan began to quickly recall the documentaries he watched in his previous life.

But after searching and searching, I couldn't find such a documentary in my mind.

'It seems that I am still too immature, I have never seen such a documentary, and I don't know how the Bering Sea area is.well!Miscalculated, really miscalculated. '

The Bering Sea was originally unknown.

In [-], Bering, a captain of Danguo, sailed to this sea area, so it was named Bering Sea after his surname.

And this time.

The Bering Sea must be nameless, and Li Chongyuan also had a blank space on his own map, thinking about what to name this sea area.

According to the form of the previous life, whoever discovers it first has the right to name it.

Li Chongyuan and the others arrived here first, so they naturally have the right to name it, but Li Chongyuan hasn't figured out what to call this sea area until now.

Xing Ba, who came to report, saw that Li Chongyuan hadn't responded to him for a long time, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Li Chongyuan's eyes.

But Li Chongyuan was still stupid.

Xingba didn't understand, so he said loudly again: "Xiao Langjun, there is news from the front, there is ice in front. Please show me, Xiao Langjun!"

"Ah. If there is an ice layer, then stop the boat." Li Chongyuan realized that he could no longer move forward, so he had to think of another way.

If you're good at eight, send the news.

Li Chongyuan came out of the cabin, came to the deck, and looked forward.

A few miles ahead, even dozens of miles away, there is really a sheet of ice.

Looking at the ice in front of him, Li Chongyuan sighed, "Oh!!! It seems that we can't move forward here, we can only go through the island chain."

The plan was disrupted again.

The distance between the two continents was less than two hundred miles, but even at such a short distance, Li Chongyuan and the others were stopped by the ice in front of them.

"Xiao Langjun, where is the island chain you are talking about?" Tang Li who followed was curious.

Li Chongyuan turned his head and pointed to the guide, "It is at least 2000 miles away from us, and it is close to Liugui Country. There is an island chain with a long gorge, an island chain composed of hundreds of small islands. Along the Sailing through this island chain can directly reach the opposite side of the ocean.”

"Then we can take the island chain, as there are still islands where we can stop and rest." After listening to Tang Li, he felt very good.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed good.

Although Li Chongyuan and the others had been traveling along the coast, even so, they would sometimes enter the deep sea and encounter strong winds from time to time.

Although it is also possible to rest on the shore, but for unknown places, especially the coast along the way, if one is not careful, accidents will happen.

It was like meeting a group of natives when they docked once.

Before saying this, these natives had already shot arrows at Li Chongyuan and the others.

so.

The coast is not as safe as the islands.

At least.

Islands are safer than these places.

Tang Li thought so, Li Chongyuan could understand, but Li Chongyuan was worried, "That island chain is not a good place. If it is not necessary, I will not go there."

"Why?" Tang Li was puzzled after hearing this.

Li Chongyuan frowned deeply, "You don't understand what I said. It is a place of low pressure, and it is also the origin of warm air, and it is also the cemetery of warm air. Strong wind, heavy rain, heavy fog, etc. There are also earthquakes, and there are some active volcanoes. If the volcano erupts, we will all die there. Even if the volcano does not erupt, if a cyclone comes, we will all be overturned. In addition, there are typhoons from time to time .”

"Ah!!! What should I do then? There is ice ahead, so it is definitely impossible to sail forward. And the island chain you mentioned is so difficult, so where should we go?" Tang Li listened. Only then did I understand why Li Chongyuan didn't choose to go there in the first place, but went this way.

Tang Li and the others were only responsible for protecting Li Chongyuan, but they rarely paid attention to the heading issue.

Don't talk about them, even Xingba and the others only ask Li Chongyuan occasionally.

Similarly, even Chen Juan and the others on other ships seldom asked Li Chongyuan about the course.

The course has always been set by Li Chongyuan.

It can be said that everyone in the fleet is centered on Li Chongyuan.

Chen Juan and the others believed in Li Chongyuan, naturally because Li Chongyuan once drew them a chart of the southern sea area, so that when they went to the southern sea area, they basically corresponded perfectly one by one, only some small places did not match up.

So, naturally, Chen Juan and the others completely trusted the course set by Li Chongyuan.

and.

This time the voyage was originally a trip to a place that no one had ever been to, and no one knew where it was headed.

The only one who knows is Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan thought for a moment and said: "Pig Ni, let Xingba pass the message, all the ships turn around, and return to the ghost."

"Xiao Langjun, should we still go to that island chain?" Tang Li asked.

Li Chongyuan nodded.

There was really nowhere to go.

Li Chongyuan thought about crossing the Bering Sea, but he didn't have the confidence.

The island chain where the Aleutian Islands are located is like this, but what happens in the Bering Sea, no one knows.

In Li Chongyuan's mind, the Aleutian Islands are all like this, and there is basically no big difference in the Bering Sea.

To the front is the ice sheet, and to the east is the Bering Sea.

Both directions are dead ends. In the end, Li Chongyuan can only choose to turn back and take the island chain.

The fleet turned.

After the fleet turned around, news came from each ship, asking about Li Chongyuan's specific plan.

And Li Chongyuan also conveyed his thoughts to the ships.

A few days later, Li Chongyuan and the others returned to the coast of Liugui Kingdom.

This time, Li Chongyuan and the others did not go ashore, but turned directly to the first island in the direction of the island chain.

Across the Kamchatka Strait, explore the past island by island.

Just in case, Li Chongyuan sent two Type B paddle ships and several Type C paddle ships as forwards to explore the way, but the distance between these ships and the fleet was not too far.

Connected one by one, whichever can be seen.

a few days later.

When the vanguard's C-type paddle steamer arrived at Adak Island cautiously, an accident still happened.

"Mr. Xiaolang, report from the front. Bingyi and Binger hit the bottom, and a big hole was broken in the bottom of Bingyi's boat. Bingsan is rushing to rescue." Xingba came to report.

Li Zhanyuan heard the news, and frowned deeply, "Let Cingsan be careful, B[-] and B[-] wait and see from behind, and don't move forward without instructions."

"Yes, Mr. Xiaolang. In addition, Bing Er sent news that there was a heavy fog ahead." Xing Ba continued to reply.

As soon as Li Chongyuan heard that there was a thick fog, he immediately became nervous again.

After a few days, the fog did not disappear, but there was a strong wind.

Li Chongyuan is not afraid of strong winds, but he is afraid of the thick fog. "Order, all ships are tied up with ropes so as not to lose their course. Order B, B, B, and rush to C, B, and B. Be sure to go with B, B, and the others."

The order passed on.

After half an hour.

When all the ships in the fleet were still tying ropes, a thick fog floated ahead.

As the dense fog hit, Li Chongyuan was very worried.

When the heavy duty comes, there is no distinction between humans and animals one foot away, and there is nothing to be seen outside three feet.

Li Chongyuan had never seen such a dense fog, and hoped that the dense fog would disappear as soon as possible.

Li Chongyuan was glad that he had issued an order long ago to connect all the ships together with ropes, otherwise, the consequences of such a dense fog would be unimaginable.

The sound of bells and gongs from each ship was used to convey to Li Chongyuan that the ship was safe.

However, the five vanguard ships, B[-]B[-], C[-], and C[-] ahead, were rushing to the place where C[-] bottomed out, but something happened again.

"Quick! Stop the ship! Stop going! Stop going!!!" Captain Yiyi was startled as the dense fog hit.

The crew were even more astonished.

Finally, Yiyi came to a stop under the control of the crew.

But as soon as B stopped moving forward, a loud noise suddenly came from the stern of the ship.

The 'bang' shook all the crew members, and many people even fell down because of the loud noise.

Captain Yiyi was knocked over, shook his dizzy head, and shouted loudly, "Second II hit our ship, go to the stern!"

Because of the emergency shutdown of B[-], B[-] behind him bumped into him without knowing it.
