wild star

Chapter 75
In September 1932, Harper's Monthly in the United States published a sentence from Edison: "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent inspiration."

Translated: Genius is 1% talent plus 99% perspiration.

Later, the joker said, but that 1% of talent is the most important, even more important than the 99% of sweat.

Whether the original protagonist said the second half of the sentence is unknown now.

But geniuses are indeed different from ordinary people.For ordinary people, it is the right way to open up the way of life.Genius is very complicated. Zhang Yanjun said that smart people must have their own thinking models, and they must absorb a large amount of interdisciplinary knowledge in order to keep their talents alive. Otherwise, it may not be good when they are young.

As it happens, he has studied cartography.

"The reason why you can't understand is that you can't find the source by comparing the map, because this map is a typical ancient map. This involves a puzzle, how did the ancients draw maps from the sky. You see, here is the ocean, here It's land, here is the coastline. Does it feel like the land is huge and the coastline is skewed? The ocean is not as small as the earth? During World War II, because of combat needs, the American Air Force used the orthographic method to draw maps. The earth is round, so When looking down, the area away from the center of the map seems to be sinking, and it is skewed, and the ocean area looks small. It is similar to this map. However, there are many islands in this map that do not exist today , I haven't figured out the half of it yet."

Zhao Yanling drank a cup of milk tea, and was not interested in whether the ancients had flying machines, but asked, "Is that a treasure map? Which sea is it drawn?"

"There is no text on the map, and you can't tell the difference between east, west, and north. It will take some time to figure it out. But I have a hunch that something will be gained."

Zhao Yanling put down the milk tea and continued eating.The two big lobsters have been eaten up, and the prawns are not honest. He is not full yet: "That's good, you continue to research and find out the treasure. Let's go to the treasure hunt along the way and bring you a piece. As for these delicacies, I'm not polite gone."

The child saw it, and if he didn't eat it, he would be eaten up by the big stomach king: "..."

The sheepskin map was pressed under the water glass, and the two of them fought each other, and the meal had to be fought over to eat.

Mai Qingqian also took pictures with a table of delicious food, as if those high-definition photos could satisfy her hunger.

The tourists at the next table were a man and a woman. The man went to the bathroom. When he came back, he accidentally glanced at the sheepskin map and suddenly stopped: "Is this also an antique? I like to collect strange things, why don't you give it to me? you say."

The man was tall and fat, with an astonishing tonnage.A pair of small eyes are shining brightly, not a good friend.

Zhao Yanling unhurriedly folded up the sheepskin map and put it in his pocket: "I don't want to sell it, I'm already traveling abroad, can I still miss those three melons and two dates?"

The man seemed a little reconciled, thought for a while, and went back to the table without saying a word.

The next day, Mai Qingqian and the three discussed whether to take a plane, a hot air balloon to look down from the sky, or take a car on the ground to watch along the way.

Zhao Yanling interrupted and said, "It's better to sit at home and look for pictures. If you go with a group, it's not convenient for you to take pictures. It just so happens that I have a friend in the capital who visited East Africa and helped me get a private car. Just sit here and go. Besides, the driver buddy can also act as a guide for us."

What a joke, he even said that he was going to start a live broadcast, but in the end it was just spinning twice in the sky, how can it be so embarrassing?
Mai Qingqian was overjoyed when she heard that, she had exactly this intention.Contrary to Zhao Yanling, she came to the Serengeti not to enjoy the scenery, but to take pictures and to make a stunt.

Zhang Yanjun said from the side: "I agree."

"Your opinion doesn't matter."

……

The driver's name was Sam, a middle-aged black man with extremely short curly stubble, wearing a mottled checkered polo shirt, with piercing eyes piercing everything.He is well above the middle class in the local area, because he has two SUVs.

TSNY's tourism industry is very developed, but it is slightly inferior to that of Kenya in the north. Both of them are poor, poorer and poorer countries.

One third of the land is national parks, forests and animal sanctuaries.The leaders shouted: We protect the natural environment here for the people of the world.

Known by the United Nations as one of the least developed countries in the world.

Originally, Mai Qingqian felt that Sam's car might be the same as the broken pickup truck that could be seen at any time on the roadside and could not be used in China.When I actually saw the car, I realized that it was two well-maintained off-road vehicles.The exterior of the car is gray in color and reinforced with plates.There is a liftable viewing platform on the roof, and the antenna is erected high.The two spare tires at the back of the car partially blocked the original license plate, which was hung on it, and beside it were yellow and red zebra crossing warning stripes.

Zhao Yanling and Sam embraced and patted each other on the back like old friends, actually meeting each other for the first time.Mai Qingqian and the others were taken aback for a moment, and found that Lao Zhao was really not a cover, and the ability to quickly mingle with anyone was the only one in the team who could do it.

What Sam said in English was like sisal: "Friends, Yan has greeted me, and I am happy to serve you. But there is a problem, two cars, only one driver is me, and the other has bacillary dysentery. In the hospital."

Zhao Yanling nodded: "It's okay, I'll drive another car and be your free driver."

He wasn't worried about not having a local driver's license at all.In the city, a black motorcycle broke down. He called a friend and got another one.So, Zhao Yanling and others saw a miraculous scene, a motorcycle carrying a person and another motorcycle on the road... So the driver's license is really not a problem.

The two cars headed west all the way, and the pickup truck passing by Zhao Yanling was covered with rust, as if it would fall apart at any moment.Just like that, a truckload of green bananas was loaded, and the low plate almost touched the ground, trembling and disturbing.

On the side of the road, there was a bald little girl sitting alone on a fallen dead tree, which was destroyed by elephants.

Zhao Yanling turned on the live broadcast, and the camera moved with the car.

"It's been a long time since the broadcast started. Now it's noon for us. It's morning here, and the sun is just right. This time I will show you the wildness of the Serengeti prairie and see lions and leopards."

The startled Zhang Yanjun caught the attention of water friends.

"Who is sitting next to me? Male or female?"

"Shock."

"Intriguing."

Zhao Yanling was ambiguous: "It's a child of a friend's family. Let me take it abroad to grow fat. By the way, I can feel how difficult the lives of African brothers are. It's not easy to live, so as not to develop into a prodigal son in the future. My Cao, look, there is a giant beast ahead haunt."

It is still in the rainy season, and the water and grass are luxuriant, and the grass grows taller than the trees in some places.An elephant is hidden in it, occasionally revealing its majesty, which amazes people who have never seen this huge beast.

Zhang Yanjun is still a child after all, and he is also attracted by novel animals, which is much more interesting than a zoo.

The elephant turned a blind eye to the vehicle, and walked leisurely towards the distant jungle with its big ears flapping.

Zhao Yanling said: "It is said that the Serengeti used to be a tropical jungle. Later, the volcano erupted and caused a forest fire, which not only burned the jungle, but also covered the entire land with volcanic ash. After being soaked by rain, the land hardened. On the upper level, it is difficult for trees to take root to absorb groundwater, only grasses with less developed root systems can do it. Therefore, this place has become a paradise for many large mammals. The destructive power of elephants is amazing, and the remaining trees are ruined by them, so It is difficult to form a forest anymore. The ears of African elephants are the largest among elephants, which are needed for heat dissipation.”

The car in front stopped, and Xiao Wang walked over with the camera on his shoulders.

"I'll take your car, drive closer to the car in front, and capture a wave."

When a beautiful figure emerged from the car in front, the water friends in the live broadcast room were stunned.

"I don't have dazzling eyes?"

"Is that Jiang Shuying? 6?"

"How did you get mixed up together? What's the inside story? Tell the truth."

"Old Zhao is just a lover of mature women. Count Yang Rong, Jiang Shuying, and the high priest in South America. Only An Daqing can't tell their age, and they are probably older than him."

Zhao Yanling said in her heart that except for An Da who didn't understand, everyone else was talking nonsense: "You are wrong, her name is Mai Qingqian, haha."

It is said on the Internet that Mai Qingqian loves photography and has countless cosmetics. She is really obsessed with this feeling, and traveled thousands of miles to Africa to visit the United States.

With Mai Qingqian appearing in the camera, the water friends became frenzied.Zhao Yanling lamented that lower Liba people are not as popular as Yangchun Baixue, and those who are easy to get in touch are far less mysterious than those who are high above.

Just like this, wildebeests, gazelles, giraffes, these herbivores can be seen everywhere, which is an eye-opener for everyone.

Sam in front of him suddenly stopped the car. Because the car in front blocked his view, Zhao Yanling was about to get out of the car without knowing it, but Sam stretched out his hand and shook it violently, signaling not to get out of the car.

At this time, Xiao Wang's WeChat voice popped up, and Mai Qingqian's anxious voice came: "A lioness in front has hurt someone. Don't get out of the car. It's dangerous. Sam is calling the staff for help."

Xiao Wang asked if he was a tourist, and Mai Qingqian said that he seemed to be a Chinese.

When Zhao Yanling heard that the injured person was a Chinese, she became anxious and took off her whip to get out of the car.

Xiao Wang was in a hurry: "Old Zhao, don't go, it's dangerous."

　Don't get entangled with actresses, they are all introductions, and this book is not about survival, it focuses on adventure, so don't compare this book with other survival books.
