My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 73 The Agreement to Go to Sea

"Tianxin, who is this little girl?"

Everyone came to Li Tianxin one after another and looked at Yang Yan with burning eyes. Bai Feifei asked the question on behalf of everyone.

Li Tianxin smiled and introduced: "She is the eldest lady of Tanzhou Feilong Escort Agency, the daughter of the escort chief of my uncle Yang."

Everyone suddenly realized that they all knew that Li Tianxin was from the Tanzhou Feilong Escort Bureau, and his father was the head of the escort agency.

Li Tianxin said to Yang Yan again: "Yan'er, this is your sister-in-law."

Facing many strangers, Yang Yan was not afraid of strangers. She opened her big round eyes, looked up at Bai Feifei, and said with a sweet smile: "Hello, sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."

Bai Feifei's maternal nature was instantly aroused. She knelt down and hugged the little girl, caressed her hair, and said with a smile like a flower: "Yan'er is also very beautiful."

Li Tianxin smiled and said to Yang Yan: "Yan'er, these are my brother's good friends, what should you do?"

Yang Yan's eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons as she smiled, waving her white, chubby little hands towards everyone, and said generously: "Hello, brothers and sisters."

"Hello."

"Hello Yan'er."

"Yan'er is so good."

Everyone greeted Yang Yan cheerfully, and Li Tianxin told her everyone's names one by one. The little girl only listened once and actually remembered them all.

In the following time, the little girl completely became the focus of the scene. Everyone circled around her and sometimes fed her cakes and fruits.

Just watching her eat was a pleasure.

Li Tianxin and Shen Lang sat aside and watched this scene happily.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "This girl is amazing. She doesn't have any stage fright at such a young age. She can handle this kind of situation with ease. She will definitely be a popular female hero in the future."

Li Tianxin agreed with deep understanding: "No, people say that three years old determines eighty, so Feilong Escort Bureau has a successor."

Shen Lang nodded and asked, "How is your Yin Yang Sha? Is it okay?"

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "The internal strength has been greatly improved. In the future, it is about accumulating skills and realizing the realm. There is no need to think about breakthroughs. You should be about the same, right?"

Shen Lang said calmly: "Same, this is an opportunity that belongs to us only. It's a pity that when Bai Jing died, the Yin and Yang evil was lost."

"If this martial arts can be passed down, there will be no such thing as a bottleneck when our successors practice internal skills in the future."

Li Tianxin sighed: "Yes, in order to prevent Happy King from getting the ghost secret book, Bai Jing wrote down all the contents and then destroyed it."

"Another peerless skill has been lost. This is how the martial arts has declined from generation to generation. Maybe within a few hundred years, everything left by our ancestors will be lost."

Shen Lang also felt sorry for it, but he was more optimistic than Li Tianxin, "That's not necessarily true. There is no shortage of stunningly talented and beautiful people in this world."

"Old secrets are lost, and there will always be people who create new ones. Regardless of martial arts or dynasty, they always prosper and then decline, and never prosper again. Such ups and downs are the way of natural reincarnation."

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "Indeed, we are still young and our internal strength has already been fully developed. I can't even imagine how far we can go in the future."

Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly he said with great interest: "Hey Tianxin, since ancient times, there have been legends about cultivators achieving enlightenment and ascending to heaven. It must not be groundless."

"Just like the Chunyang master who took off people's heads with flying swords. He was originally born in the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, but there were still people who saw him in the Northern Song Dynasty 200 years later."

"More than 300 years later, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism, was accepted as his disciple. By now he was nearly [-] years old, and his whereabouts were unknown after that."

"Some people say that he has transformed into Qi and ascended, while others say that he lives in seclusion in the fairy mountains overseas. Do you think there are real practitioners who live in seclusion in the vast and boundless overseas world?"

"Well..." After listening to Shen Lang's words, Li Tianxin stroked his chin and said hesitantly: "I'm not sure. Maybe it's true, or maybe it's just rumors. After all, who knows what happened hundreds of years ago? Can you explain it clearly?"

The reason for his hesitation was the existence of the system.

Even if there is such a fantasy thing as the system, there may not be immortal cultivators in this martial arts world.

Shen Lang said with longing in his eyes: "Whether it is true or not, we can only find out if we go to sea to see it?" "I have always had an idea. After I settle some things, I will buy a big ship and go to sea."

"I want to see what it's like overseas, whether there are any so-called fairy mountains, and whether there are any otherworldly masters practicing in seclusion."

Li Tianxin was dumbfounded. In the original plot of the co-author, Shen Lang and his party went to sea not to escape the world and live in seclusion, but to find immortals.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but there was nothing strange on his face. Li Tianxin smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I also have this plan, but I'm not looking for some fairy mountain or hidden master, but I want to verify something. .”

Shen Lang asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Li Tianxin looked at the people playing over there, leaned close to Shen Lang's ear, and whispered softly: "I want to verify the statement that the world is round."

"What?" Shen Lang looked at Li Tianxin in astonishment and asked with a weird face, "Why do you have such weird ideas?"

As early as the Han Dynasty, the Chinese people had already suspected that the earth was round.

Zhang Heng, who invented the seismometer, recorded in "Notes on the Armillary Sphere": The sky is like a chicken's egg, the celestial bodies are round like pellets, and the earth is like the yellow inside of a chicken, living alone inside, the sky is big and the earth is small.There is water in the sky, and the sky covers the earth, just like a shell wrapped in yellow.Heaven and earth stand on the basis of Qi and float on water.

Zhang Heng believes that the world is like an egg, with the earth as the yolk, the sky as the egg white, and the sky wrapping the earth.

It's a pity that no one believed this statement, and even denounced it as fallacies. It's good that he was not regarded as a madman.

For the people of China, the concept of a round sky and a square earth has been deeply ingrained for thousands of years. No one believed this statement until Magellan traveled around the world and finally returned to the starting point.

This is also the sadness of the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult.

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "I can't explain the specific situation in one or two sentences. I will tell you slowly in the future."

Shen Lang shrugged and said, "Okay, let alone whether the world is round or square, tell me first how you plan to verify this idea."

Li Tianxin said: "It's very simple. Take a boat and keep going in one direction. If the world is round, then we will eventually return to the starting point."

"If the world is square, we can reach the end of the world. Don't you want to see what the end of the world looks like?"

Of course he didn't really want to verify this matter. How could there be any verification of something that had already been confirmed?

His real purpose was to land on the American continent before Columbus, take this continent as his own, and let the indigenous people on that continent all speak Chinese Mandarin.

The rhetoric given to Shen Lang was just to find a reason for going to sea in the future.

He can't say that he knows that there is a huge land on the other side of the sea, where there are thousands of kilograms of grain per mu and countless resources.

He couldn't explain how he knew it at all, so he might as well just find a reason to "accidentally" discover the New World.

When Shen Lang heard what Li Tianxin said, he said with great interest: "It makes sense. Let's make an agreement then. When the time is right, we will go to sea together."

Li Tianxin pondered for a moment and said, "In about seven or eight years, we should be able to set off smoothly."

Shen Lang asked in confusion: "Why seven or eight years?"

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "Because today's ships rely on sails and oars to travel, the speed is too slow. I plan to create something that can greatly increase the speed of the ship."

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait to see your amazing work." Shen Lang didn't ask what it was. He had always admired Li Tianxin's fantastic ideas.

Since Li Tianxin said this, it proved that he already knew it. Anyway, even if Li Tianxin was willing to tell him, he might not understand some things.

There is no doubt that the thing Li Tianxin is talking about is the steam engine, which is most suitable for this era.

As for internal combustion engines, first of all, the industrial level is not high enough and it is difficult to manufacture them. Even if they are manufactured, fuel is a big problem.

When sailing long distances, logistics cannot be guaranteed, and you can only use local materials wherever you go.

A steam engine only requires water and fuel. If you have coal, you can use coal. If you don't have coal, you can burn charcoal. Even if you are too lazy to burn charcoal, you can use firewood.

If an internal combustion engine is available, where can I find diesel or gas?
