Chapter 218 Difficulties in Sea Navigation!
Hearing this, Liu Xiancheng was stunned.

Because he thought of a method that his husband had taught them before to obtain fresh water or make dirty water clean.

Distillation.This kind of operation is no longer a secret among the young people studying in Ji's Academy. It is to heat the unclean water and then connect the pipes. Iron products are best and they can be cooled well to get clean drinking water.

Wang Xuance and Ji Qing's eyes also lit up, and they both saw each other's surprise when they looked at each other!

Unexpectedly, the gentleman thousands of miles away has already solved a difficult problem in navigation?

Distillation is very convenient. As long as you prepare a few more sets of equipment, you can easily obtain fresh water.The only problem to be solved is the problem of firewood.

They are not very worried about this. As long as they encounter islands at sea, the problem of firewood will not be difficult to solve. After all, they will not be too far from the mainland.

Unless you are lost in a storm, you can also refine fish oil to solve the fuel problem.They looked at each other silently, with a tacit understanding that they didn't say anything.

These maritime merchants all had requests, and they knew that the letter from my husband included a condition of increasing their share of perfume by [-]%, so they knew everything.

But as to how much more they were hiding, that was not something they could know.

Next, a very shrewd person said: "In addition, there are various diseases. During the voyage, there are several common diseases on the ship, namely scurvy, dizziness and "yin and yang" .”

"Yin Yang intercourse!"

The three children all exclaimed!

Of course they knew about the 'Yin and Yang intercourse'. There were many medical books in the school, which recorded this: "...When returning to the boat, exposed to the wind and rain, the disease will develop and become fanatic. It is called the intercourse between Yin and Yang. If the intercourse between Yin and Yang occurs, death will occur."

"Yin Yang Jiao" means malaria.Before the advent of effective medicines, people on board the ship would inevitably die if they contracted malaria.

Vertigo, that is, seasickness, is common and includes dizziness, headache, increased salivation, nausea, vomiting, and pale complexion. In severe cases, it can kill people.

"What is scurvy?" Ji Qing asked.

He really didn't know this, as he had never heard of this disease.

When talking about the disease, other merchants also showed fearful expressions, which made Sanxiao feel bad. Could it be that
"Symptoms such as high fever, chills, tachycardia, shortness of breath, skin oozing, mental changes, skin cracking and other symptoms. The appearance after the onset is terrifying." When talking about this disease, they all seemed to be very scared.

"Is there any way to prevent it?" Ji Qing asked quickly.

We must ask clearly about this. If we really encounter this disease, we might as well have a preventive method.

"No, it's just luck every time!" Everyone said with flashing expressions.

"Then how did you overcome it?" Wang Xuance didn't believe it.

You must know that these people have been wandering at sea for at least several years, but they are still fine now, which shows that there are ways to prevent it.

"This" everyone looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Being caught in front of someone with sore feet, if they hadn't known who these students were, they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish. This is the experience our ancestors paid for with their lives, can we say that?No matter how much money you give!
The three little ones were helpless. In fact, they had long been prepared to be concealed. The appearance of scurvy made them realize that Datang was already far behind others.

If they don't say anything, there is nothing they can do.This is something that people have paid for with their lives, and they can't force it on others!
"Is there more?" Liu Xiancheng asked this time.

"Yes, there is a sea chart, but we will never tell you about this thing under any circumstances. This was discovered after thousands of years of continuous sacrifice by our predecessors and narrow escapes from death. It is a priceless treasure." A seaman suddenly said excitedly. .

"Yes, the sea chart is our life, and it is something that can be protected with our lives. Young people, I would like to advise you that the sea is not as simple as you think.

We admire your teacher's wisdom and wealth. With his wisdom, it is not difficult to know the importance of this thing to us, so he did not include it in this transaction.

We have no intention of offending the noble Marquis, but this is our life and cannot be traded, even if the Marquis has astonishing wealth and power. "

Sanxiao Moran, I remember what my husband said when we came here.

"Actually, asking you to ask them for advice is just to broaden your horizons. They will never refuse if they can tell you, but when it comes to their fundamentals, don't expect it. If they don't cheat, they are already abiding by the spirit of the contract. ”

It can be seen that the gentleman has anticipated this situation, and the sea map, this sea map, has become their bottom line.

The sea is vast, how can we identify the direction without a chart?This is different from fighting on land. There is no map but as long as there are people, you will not lose your way.

But who can they ask in the vast sea?Sanxiao had no choice but to temporarily ignore this topic.

Seeing that they no longer asked, everyone was relieved.

You must know that this is the Tang Dynasty. If you offend that noble man, you and others will not be able to make a fortune.But if that person detains themselves and others in anger, there is nothing they can do.

But through this incident, they also learned about the noble man's mind, and they couldn't help but sigh when they thought of the marquis who became the leader of this huge and powerful empire at such a young age!
"Finally, and the most critical thing is the ship." They looked at each other and decided to say something more so as not to appear stingy to others.

"There are many causes of danger at sea, the common ones are wind, reefs, and fish. The three are different in nature, but they will all bring catastrophic consequences to maritime vessels."

Sanxiao listened to what they said, as if she was immersed in the scene, and her mood fell and fell with his words.
Every time the sky and the earth are dark, whales are roaring, hurricanes are rising in all directions, and fog and rain are close at hand.The people in the boat cried and howled.

When strong winds stir up huge waves, ships deviate from the needle path and wander.

The sea reefs are widely distributed.According to the location, the ones that are above the water are called "rock reefs", and the ones that are submerged are called "submerged reefs" or "sunken reefs"; according to the color, the light ones are called "white reefs" and the dark ones are called "black reefs".

The black sunken reefs among them are regarded by them as "evil reefs" and are one of the culprits of shipwrecks.The sinking reef is terrible, and the floating sand is also terrible.Hitting a rock and being stranded will both cause a shipwreck.

"There is a saw shark that is a hundred feet long and has a nose like a saw. When it encounters a ship, it cuts it off like a rattle." "While walking through the waves at night, a nearby whale saw foam in the water. Thinking that there was food to eat, it jumped up and touched the ship. It often breaks the hull somewhere."

Liu Xiancheng recorded.

This giant fish, which is as big as a house, is called a "whale" by Mr. It is said that there are many classifications.The dragon's incense at home is said to be the excrement of one of the whales, the product of being soaked in seawater for decades.

"So, a strong sea-going ship that can withstand wind and waves is the top priority. If you need such a sea-going ship, we can also buy it for you, but the price is..." A seemingly loyal maritime businessman said to him after that. Three lanes.

"Haha! Thank you so much, senior. Don't worry, if we are in need, we will definitely come to you." Wang Xuance replied with a smile.
