Behind me is the earth

Chapter 393 391. Dagger made of ribs and treasure map

The nautical chart was sent to Paul's hands. Paul looked at it carefully and shook his head: "I didn't see that land on the map, and with all due respect, this nautical chart is a bit old. There are many The New World discovered in recent years is not on the map.

Some newly developed routes are not marked. "

As Paul spoke, he took out a parchment roll from his arms. After spreading it flat, it was a navigation chart. He got up from his seat, knelt on his knees, and offered it with both hands: "Dedicated to the king." Your Highness!"

"Send it up."

The maid took the parchment roll, placed it on the tray, and presented it to the royal desk.

The parchment rolls are a little yellowed, and they are obviously old. The continents, islands, continental and submarine terrain, mountains, rivers, forests, resources, etc. are painted with black, red, and blue lines respectively.

There are also sea lanes, currents, hazard areas, and port information.

For example, the ink mark on Dongyang Port needs to be updated a little more. It is obvious that Paul just added it not long ago.

However, although the sea map is exquisite, Jingguo's map is not standard. Not only the size of the country is distorted, but also the shape of the country is also deformed. For example, in the south of Jingguo are Yanguo, Luguo, and Yueguo, especially Yanguo. However, the size of Jingguo's province is almost one-third of the size of Jingguo on the map.

“The name of that piece of land was that when I first discovered it, it was still barren, with only some traces of indigenous activities.

But in the past two years, because they were discovered and logged in by people from the country of Iran, they proudly swayed their two sizzling testicles, flaunting them everywhere like old hens that laid eggs, claiming everywhere that they had discovered the New World. As a result, this land became famous and was named Dongluozhou. "

Paul introduced.

Originally, he should have been credited with discovering the New World, but he and Olga kept it quiet for the sake of the treasures, causing the reputation to fall to the people of Ilan. Now, even if they claim that they discovered it first, no one will believe it. Instead, they will think that the two of them are liars who steal their reputation.

This kind of grievance is beyond words.

But if you think about it carefully, reputation is something you cannot eat or drink. Only when it is converted into money can it make a deafening sound. Now, as long as you curry favor with the great King of Wuzhou, filling the entire "Paul" with gold coins will no longer be a dream.

Ren Pingsheng raised his head and glanced at Paul.

It turns out that Dongluozhou is a newly discovered continent.

"Can you make nautical charts?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

He can make nautical charts, has rich navigation experience, and has discovered the New World.

This is also a talent.

"I'm an experienced captain."

Paul temporarily forgot about the caution he warned himself in the morning, and answered proudly at this time.

Ren Pingsheng found the Dongluo Continent from the map, just to the east of Jingguo, separated by a sea called Dongyang.

On this continent, a small circle was drawn with a red pen. Come to think of it, this is where the USS Paul once landed.

"What else was around when you found this bag and the octahedron?"

Ruan Tang also came over to look at the chart, and then asked.

Paul didn't know the identity of the woman next to the king, but she was able to speak on this occasion and was not opposed by anyone. She was obviously qualified to ask questions here.

He did not dare to neglect and said: "At that time, we were swept by the hurricane and blew to the Donluo Continent. Because the sailboat was damaged, we had to repair it.

During the repair process, we went hunting in the mainland mountains and found these two treasures in a rift valley.

At that time, they were all on the body of a corpse. That corpse had been dead for who knows how long, and only a black skeleton was left on it.

In my impression, the skeleton was very tall, more than two meters or even three meters, and the bones were very hard. Even hitting it with an iron sword couldn't break it. I even removed a rib from its body. , forged into a short sword..."

Paul said, pointing to the door and saying: "When you entered, the dagger was placed outside."

Soon, the dagger was presented.

The mahogany handle, the jet black blade, and the blade have the unique edge of metal.

Ruan Tang waved, and the dagger flew into her hand. The fingertips flashed with arc light, and quickly flashed over the black dagger, and said: "It contains calcium of bones, and also contains other metal elements such as titanium, nickel, silver, lithium, and aluminum. It is also a very strong and stable alloy."

"bass!"

Ruan Tang's fingers quickly crossed the blade of the sword, but her fingers were not injured. Instead, a layer of faint blue flames ignited on the body of the dagger. With a slight shake, the blue flames were shaken into the air and quickly Disappear.

"Are these human bones?"

Xiaowan was shocked.

"It is indeed a human skeleton. Olga and I have looked at it carefully. Apart from being taller and having two more pairs of ribs than normal people, the rest are almost the same as human skeletons. We guessed at the time that they might be indigenous people on the Dongluo Continent. people.

I originally thought that after repairing the Paul, I would leave there immediately.

However, one day when Olga was groping for the polyhedron, a strange treasure map suddenly bloomed on it. Olga and I thought this might be a fortune worth taking.

After discussing it, we took some people to explore. In the end, after more than two months, we still couldn't find the place shown on the treasure map, so we had to give up. "

Paul said.

"Where's the treasure map?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

With a "Zila" sound, an electric arc appeared in Ruan Tang's hand, injecting energy into the polyhedron. The surface of the polyhedron made a "crackling" sound, but it dissipated in the air in an instant, causing a burst of static electricity in the air, and the hair tips of people around him could not help but Floating.

But the polyhedron doesn't change at all.

Paul in the main hall thought to himself at this moment, the important point is here!

He had basically given up on the treasure map. He kept it in his hands just as a thought, thinking that if there was a chance in the future, he would go to Dongluo Continent to look for it. But the Dongluo Continent has now become a new continent, and it is said that people from the Yilan Kingdom discovered gold in this new continent, thus attracting people from all over the world to flock there.

Looking for treasures is not as realistic as gold mining.

But now, whether this treasure can be sold to His Highness King Qi for a good price depends on this last tremor!

"The polyhedron was like the eyes of gods, blooming with light, forming a magical map in the void, but it only flickered for a moment and then disappeared. In the next two years, no matter how we study it, it will appear again. Never appeared either.

However, I drew a picture of the treasure at that time. Your Highness, please take a look. "

Paul again took out a roll of sheepskin and presented it to the imperial cabinet.

Although Paul could make nautical charts, he was obviously not an expert at drawing. The maps looked crooked and unattractive.

"Why do I look at this picture and it looks more like a design drawing of the interior of a building?"

Ruan Tang said suddenly.

Ren Pingsheng rubbed his eyebrows.

Octahedron, plastic bags, tall people with metal bones, these elements come together, and Ren Bisheng cannot imagine where these things come from.

Regarding the doubts in his heart, he chatted with Paul and Olga for a while, but there were no useful details, so Ren Pingsheng asked them to go down first.

"Husband, what do you think?"

Ruan Tang asked.

She is very curious. As an engineering expert, she has a strong curiosity about polyhedrons. According to what Paul said, she was completely unable to guess how this polyhedron emits images and what energy it uses to power it.

"Send a fleet to Dongluo Continent."

Ren Pingsheng pinched his eyebrows and said.

The distance of 26,000 kilometers could not stop him from exploring the secrets behind these things.

Stuck by his own knowledge, Paul didn't think much about the polyhedron or the plastic bag. Instead, he thought the projected figure was a treasure map.

Ren has more knowledge in his life, but it is precisely because of this more knowledge, these things that are beyond his understanding of the world, that make him feel uncontrollable anxiety.

Anxiety is a reaction to fear. This feeling pushed him to dig out these unknowns as soon as possible and put them on the surface, so that people could feel at ease.

"Even on earth, there are many mysteries that are still unsolved. There are many things, so there is no need to put pressure on yourself.

I still remember that you told me before that things are divided into internal and external. Internals are things we can control, and externalities are things we cannot control. We cannot be anxious and fearful because of external uncontrollable things.

In this world, faced with many things, all we can do is do our best and obey fate. "

Ruan Tang saw some of the anxiety accumulated in Ren's heart yesterday.

The difference is that Xiaowan secretly went to comfort him last night.

As for Ruan Tang, she also fell into curiosity and anxiety about unknown things last night.

Xiaowan always puts Ren Pingsheng as the center when dealing with anything. All things will revolve around her young master, and the young master's feelings are always the first issue she thinks about.

Ruan Tang is more independent. When she faces a problem, she usually focuses on the problem itself and chooses to share the responsibility with Ren Pingsheng. She is more willing to think about solutions to the problem and solve or relieve some pressure for Ren Pingsheng.

The two have different perspectives on the problem, which also leads to different ways of handling the problem when they actually face it.

"I know, the future is not welcome."

Ren Pingsheng smiled and nodded: "All the troubles in life are only caused by yourself."

Distinguish between what you can control and what you can't. This is the basic principle for clarifying thoughts. Only by learning to distinguish can one's inner mind truly be at peace.

Things are things, and emotions are just reactions to things. What affects your mood is not the thing, but the mentality towards the thing. Ren Pingsheng checked his emotions and calmed down. Then he carefully considered the causes and consequences of the whole incident and perfected his plan for this trip to Dongluo Continent.

"Si Nian is still in Qifeng County?"

Ren Pingsheng thought of Si Nian.

She has strong personal abilities, is not weak in strength, and handles things properly.

"exist."

Xiaowan nodded and said: "After she was transferred to the provincial capital, she has been staying in Qifeng County to wait for vacancies. During this time, she has been practicing martial arts with Su Qianyun. I heard that she made a breakthrough in martial arts a while ago and has entered the Yin Yuan realm. .”

"Um."

Ren Pingsheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Transfer several water-type aliens from the Alien Department.

Then a group of people were selected from the Tianzihao of the Night Owl organization.

Let the navy deploy three warships.

Si Nian led the team to Dongluo Continent. "

After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, he thought of Bai Chuchu again: "Is Bai Chuchu's physical condition stable now?"

Ruan Tang said: "After being injected once a month, the green fruit in the body shows no signs of deteriorating, so it should be under control."

"Then let Bai Chuchu follow and act as Si Nian's adjutant."

Ren Pingsheng said.

Xiaowan recorded it from the side: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, do you want to set off before the new year?"

"Maybe after the new year. Dongyang Shipyard will launch an armored ship after the new year."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"However, the supply of our armored ships is a problem. We have no experience in long-distance voyages, and we have no base outside. We can only supply at public ports. Other things are easy to say, but the supply of coal is a problem."

Ruan Tang said.

Ren Pingsheng turned the space ring on his finger: "We can only prepare more space equipment for this. Then bring as much coal as possible to prevent warships from lying down halfway."

Ruan Tang nodded, this is a solution.

Sure enough, this world also has its own solutions. Because of my own professionalism, compared to my husband, my way of thinking that combines two worlds and two systems is still a little weaker.

"In addition, let's publicize the trip to Dongluo Continent next year. Maritime merchants with corresponding plans can follow up and protect the warships all the way. They only need to provide a certain amount of warship escort expenses."

Ren Pingsheng said again.

"But if the merchant ships keep up, it will be greatly slowed down. It takes about 3 weeks for our warships to cross the Eastern Ocean and reach the Dongluo Continent. If we add the merchant ships, it will take us at least 15 weeks."

Ruan Tang took a pen and did some calculations on the paper and reminded him.

"Then let the news out that this voyage will attract private investment. When the fleet comes back, the things brought back will be divided into dividends according to the investment share."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Okay, Master."

Xiaowan writes it down.

Seeing the doubts on their faces, Ren Pingsheng said: "It's not because of money. We have a large number of state-owned enterprises, generous taxes, and complete supporting income. Our finances are not short of money.

I did this mainly because I just opened the sea recently, in order to broaden the ideas and horizons of domestic maritime merchants, and to open up their desire and ambition for the deep sea.

This is an opportunity. Since there is gold in Dongluo Continent, they can use gold to expand their ambitions. "

When you go out, you naturally want to maximize your benefits and achieve two birds with one stone.

"By the way, will the first stock on the Dongyang Exchange be listed in the next two days?"

Ren Pingsheng suddenly remembered the official document submitted by Dongyang Exchange two days ago.

This is a big deal, Zhongshu Ge specially marked it in red and put it on his desk.
