There is no such thing as green mountains and green waters, and there is endless water on the sea, without any tiredness, wave after wave endlessly.
"How long will it take to get ashore?"
Fu Wei took a boat from the Miaodao archipelago, rested for a day when he arrived at Jingkou, and went out of the mouth of the Yangtze River with a fleet of thirty-two boats, and arrived at Yizhou along the route not far from the coastline, but only replenished fresh water and some fruits and vegetables on the Yizhou side, and the ship continued to set off without docking at all.
"There should be five or six more days" Si Hongzhuang lay on the deck with a very weak body, and said softly: "Bear with it." ” Si Hongzhuang felt that he would be included in the first batch of people to go to the Indochina Peninsula when they arrived at the blood mold, and what they wanted to go to was not to go to the colonial land that had been opened up, but to cross the strait and enter the ocean, walk thousands of miles north, and dock in a bay.
"Patience" Fu Wei couldn't bear it at all: "You can still go ashore, brother, I can only stay for two days to slow down, and then I have to repeatedly explore at sea, and if I can go ashore for one day a month, I will burn high incense." ” The Han State began to form a navy in the second year of Yuan Shuo, and the problem was that before the elimination of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the navy was actually not very large except for the system troops, and it was only expanded after the destruction of the Tuoba Dynasty and the Zhang Liang Kingdom.
In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, Liu Yan ordered the formation of two fleets, with the Beiyang Navy based on Qing 1 Island in Changguang County and the Nanyang Navy based on Panyu and Guang 1 Prefecture.
The scale of the Beiyang Navy was relatively large from the beginning, and the main base was in Changguang County, and there were other affiliated military ports such as Liaodong Mashijin Luyi Shun, Peninsula Haiming Haizhou, Wajijima Kyushu Kunissebo, and Wajijima Nobi Kokushikawa Kanazawa.
Not counting the system warships, the Beiyang Fleet has more than 100 large and small warships, and more than 300 non-warships of various types.
The main base of the Nanyang Navy is in Panyu, Yizhou has Keelung and Tamsui, Zhuyazhou Sea 1 Nanya County, Rinan County in Jiaozhi is the main military port of the Indochina Peninsula, and there is also one in Bangkok, Funan, Thailand.
Not counting the system warships, the Nanyang Fleet has more than 150 large and small warships and more than 500 non-warships of various types.
The forces around the Beiyang are either wiped out or vassalized, in fact, there are no enemies on this side, and the biggest task of the navy is to carry out all kinds of routine cruises, and then to explore the ice ocean side of the Arctic Circle, if it were not for the transport ships escorting the Japanese islands to and from the mainland, the size of the fleet would have been reduced.
By the way, Liu Yan has already sent people to the Japanese Islands, naturally to find those famous gold and silver mines, and also to explore the preliminary excavation of minerals.
The South Seas were the main business area of the Han Kingdom in the future, and there were far more islands there than in the North Ocean, and there were indigenous people on each island.
The level of civilization of those natives is very backward, but because of the local environment, even the natives will go out to sea in the stage of drinking blood.
It will be a long-term task to explore the navy around the South 1 Sea, and it will take enough ships to serve, and after finding the island, it will be necessary to go to the island to explore the environment, and it will inevitably be explored for resources, and there will be no shortage of ships needed.
In fact, just exploring and operating the South 1 Sea is a big project that takes decades or even hundreds of years, but the appetite of the Han Kingdom is not only so big.
At present, the Pacific Ocean is basically terra nullius, or even if the land has an owner, no one can stop the Han State from grabbing the land, if you don't take advantage of the current time to occupy it, is it waiting for the indigenous people to develop, or people from other places come to occupy nature to take as far and faster as possible, even if you set up a boundary monument and leave it alone, it is also to declare ownership.
In addition to the advance to the Pacific Ocean, it is strange that Liu Yan mentioned the wealth of the Asan territory, and the Han Kingdom is about to enter a difficult moment, not only the military first thought of robbing, but the people who knew that thing all had the idea of plundering other countries to make up for themselves, and it became inevitable to enter the sea that did not have a name.
"I saw the land" The lookout on the mast roared, but the people on the deck hadn't seen it yet, because they really just lived on the sphere, and they couldn't see it when they got close, but they were far enough away and there were no obstacles to see the amplitude of the horizon, for example, the first thing two ships saw when they met each other was each other's mast.
Fu Wei glanced in the direction pointed by the lookout on the mast of the ship, and stared blankly.
Si Hongzhuang jumped up as soon as a carp straightened, staring at the direction pointed by the lookout with eager eyes.
The fleet should have sailed to the vicinity of the South 1 Sand 1 Islands in the later generations, relatively close to the Malaysian waters, and was about to enter the Zeng 1 Mu 1 Dark 1 Sand Sea area, and from a distance it was possible to see the land on the southeast horizon, but in fact it was a large island in the sea.
Seeing the big island of Malaysia in the future, it is actually not so far from the strait, but there seems to be something wrong with their navigation, which is relatively southerly than the planned route, or the first land to see should be the half-arm bay of the continental shelf where Thailand and Malaysia meet.
"Do you want to send someone ashore to see?"
"No, we're not exploring the fleet."
Their mission was to cross the strait as soon as possible, go to the sea area designated by the king to conduct coastal exploration, find the two locations described, and then send people from the various families of Indochina to jointly build a military port and a base for the garrison.
After sailing on the sea for a long time, the desire for land will really be beyond imagination, the problem is that Fu Wei's fleet has only been at sea for five days, and the time is really not long.
Zhuxia is not a nation that is good at navigation, what the ancestors have seen for generations is the interests of the land, and the few explorations of the sea voyage are the rulers in order to live forever by a group of warlocks to find the non-existent fairy island, but the warlocks have not completely succeeded in fooling them, or it is also excellent to find the fairy island to explore and conquer the sea voyage.
Staying in a sea full of water for five days without seeing the land, for people who have not had a similar experience, the mood can really be depressed, and it is not surprising that the desire for land appears.
Because of the effect of thought, making people listless is one thing, and if the spirit is weak, the body will be weak, and even if you are not sick, you will feel that you are sick, and then you will really get sick.
According to the old saying, there will be a phenomenon of unadaptation caused by the burden of thought, and then sickness, and even death, basically comes from the thoughts.
Fu Wei and Si Hongzhuang came to the bridge, walked to the edge of the platform where Sinan's original compass was placed, and stared at the spoon placed on the boxy matrix compass.
"Sure enough, it's still unreliable."
Fu Wei said that the route offset is definitely not his pot, and it is clear that the tools are unreliable: "There should be some more accurate tools." ” Sinan is a creation of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was not until the Warring States Period that the system was gradually formed, and the Han army in the Western Han Dynasty entered the grassland and was taken seriously, and it was really not used in navigation.
At present, there are not many ways to determine the route, and a reliable pointing tool is a method, and then there is to observe the stars.
On the earth, the stars seen in different positions are not the same, for example, the signs seen in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere are different, and then the positions of the stars are also there and move throughout the year, after all, the earth is revolving around the sun.
Therefore, you have to judge where you are first, and then make a judgment based on the direction and astrology you know.
Fortunately, the Chinese civilization has a long history, and when there is no obvious direction of the object, in addition to the compass and the stars, there is also a method called measurement and distance discrimination.
In fact, it is to draw a drawing full of grids, according to the time and speed of your voyage, and then according to the rise and fall of the sun, and the refraction of the sun to roughly discern what direction you will be in.
In ancient times, it was not the Europeans who developed the navigation technology to the peak, let alone the Celestial Empire, but the Arabs.
The Arabs obtained the compass technology from the Celestial Empire during the Song Dynasty, and obtained a set of theoretical triangulation from Greece, and then there were astrological phenomena given by God, which combined with a very reliable navigation technology.
In fact, I really can't boast about how advanced the civilization of the ancient Celestial Empire was, some rituals, eating, drinking, and wearing, including some tool creation, there is something that can be said, but more is the study of philosophy.
In addition to the four major inventions, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and ancient India really exploded the ancient Celestial Empire in some creations and theories.
Ancient Greece has been doing astronomical research, and when I consulted the relevant classics, ancient Greece had a complete set of astronomical theories before other civilizations; Ancient Egypt's achievements in integrated agriculture are also amazing, including engineering, which is almost the first, and there are too many people in agriculture, and engineering was made by the pharaoh to build tomb pyramids; Ancient India really nourished the world in smelting, when they were engaged in Uzi steel, the vast majority of civilizations were not even qualified for iron smelting, and more civilizations were still in the Bronze Age.
It was cheaper for the Persians and Arabs, and the Europa were imported from the Arabs for the second time, and the Celestial Empire also benefited The ancient Celestial Dynasty had a set direction of development, and the study of everything was for the service of the supreme ruler, for example, astronomical research was made into observing celestial phenomena and judging bad luck.

Such things abound, and what is even more depressing is that some creations that can be used to innovate the military have become entertaining the public.
In terms of current navigation technology, Ah San's skills are the highest, which is the legacy left by the Kushan Empire.
If you want to talk about the Romans, their main voyage was in the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean Sea is fundamentally different from the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, which is above the height of the waves.
The Celestial Empire has always followed the direction of the Continental Army, and has basically ignored the sea.
As for the Arabs, who developed their seafaring skills to the pinnacle, they were still suffering as Persians, Romans, and even Armenians, anyway, as inferior people.
As Ah San, who has the highest seafaring skills, they are thinking about how to trade, and the trade that spans tens of thousands of nautical miles is really accumulating wealth.
Another point is that because Ah San's navigation is really not bad, later generations have shown that there are quite a few people in the islands of South Asia and Oceania who have Ah San blood.
If Ah San is unhappy to indulge in caste and religion, like the European Romans of the "pirate culture" to colonize, various countries may be able to rely on the superiority of the army to hold the mainland, but it is inevitable that the Ah San ethnic group will be more branched out.
Fu Wei confirmed that the direction was off, and the fleet stopped, sending small boats ashore to check the tree's annual rings.
Generally speaking, moss is easy to grow on the shady side of the tree on the north side, while the tree rings are more sparse on the south side, which is not as dense as the north rings.
The rings of the stump are sparse in the south-facing half and denser in the north-facing half.
The trunk of the plant faces the sun in the south, and the rings are visible and sparsely arranged, while the north side is slightly tighter.
This is how the direction is judged.
After confirming the direction, the fleet restarted, and they sailed for half a day and saw land again.
This time, Fu Wei finally knew that he had made a mistake, sailing relatively close to the coastline, and the various lookouts tried to observe, and they must have found the base set up first, and the base provided the correct route.
The latter stronghold was found, the two sides also liaison, and even the stronghold sent ships to pilot, what Fu Wei didn't expect was that they officially arrived at the entrance of the strait the next day.
"I don't understand why the king named this sea area the Strait of Malacca.
What does it mean?"
Everyone is familiar with this, but what is the meaning of "six", and how many meanings are "A", which can be understood word by word, but they are completely incomprehensible when connected.
The fleet is no longer as many as thirty-two ships, they have one on the side of Zeng 1 mother, 1 dark and 1 sand, close to the half-arm bend and three more into it, and the remaining twenty-nine ships are lined up in an array line, even if something happens, the ships in front are unlucky, and the back has to be stopped and explored.
Entering the Strait of Malacca from the South 1 Sea, the entrance is not wide, and there are even many small islands scattered and three relatively large islands.
Fu Wei stood on the bridge and looked at both sides of the strait, and in addition to a patch of green, he could see that there were many buildings on the left and right.
"Dahan needs to run this place well."
Si Hongzhuang touched his chin and said, "The town will be built, and the necessary lighthouse and seaport are also indispensable."
I heard that a fort will be built and a new bronze cannon will be installed."
Fu Wei could already see the busy crowd, and the telescope could clearly see that the people were dark-skinned, so he said, "There should be no shortage of slaves in this place." ” "There's a rumor."
Si Hongzhuang said uncertainly: "It is said that Admiral Wang will call this place the gate of the world, although I don't know what this name means, I feel so powerful when I hear it." ” Liu Yan really said that "the gate of the world" is nothing more than that this is the gateway to the sea, and coming from the west is to enter the eastern world, and vice versa, whoever masters this place is equivalent to mastering the portal
