Plants brought back from South America began to be popularized immediately, and potatoes, corns, peppers, etc. began to be planted.
Food is always the most important thing. Only after you are full will you start to study how to cook delicious food. Naturally, the study of dishes was left to the cook, and Du Lan personally brought the things to the door.
When Cook Ding saw that the Grand Master had brought ingredients he had never seen before, he was also very interested. Cook Ding, who has an infinite pursuit of eating and cooking, patted his chest and said: He will definitely come up with delicious new dishes.
"Grand Master, when I went to deliver food to the inn recently, I saw a lot of weird people wearing white cloths on their bodies. Are they all from the New World?" Pao Ding's identity has not yet been exposed, so he continues to collect information for the Mo family.
intelligence.
"The people you are talking about are from Rome. They are to the west of us. They cross the desert and climb the mountains to the west." Duran said: "If you are curious, you can buy a copy of "The Voyage". You can
You will know where the Romans are from."
""The Great Voyage"? Did the Grand Master record all the overseas events in it?"
"It's not me, it's my apprentice, the leader of the fleet. What he wrote can definitely satisfy your curiosity. There are many secrets in it." Dulan pointed out.
Cook Ding kept this in his mind, and as soon as Dulan left, he immediately went to the bookstore and saw that there was a large sea of book for sale, and they were divided into ordinary and rare editions. The ordinary ones were 500 articles, and the collector's edition was always the same.
Cook Ding bought a set of collector's editions and ten sets of ordinary editions, and sent them to the Mohist disciples stationed outside the city overnight.
The Mohist master immediately started reading these books after getting them. The world beyond the sea is still very attractive, and he may be able to find information about the treasure of destiny.
At the same time, the Zhu family and Liu Bang in Zuimenglou were also reading the book "The Great Voyage".
There are many people who are also reading. Of course, they think that the Grand Master has found the Immortal Mountain, so they want to see what the Immortal Mountain looks like.
Cai He's writing style is average, this is more of a diary, but what he records is very shocking.
"The Great Voyage·Sail Off·The First Day", open the cover and go directly to the topic. As for this 'what chapter' is divided by Dulan, in addition to the 'Sail Off', there are also 'Pacific Chapter', 'New World Chapter' and 'Polar'
"Atlantic Chapter", "British Island Chapter", "Rome Chapter", "Mediterranean Chapter", "Africa·India Chapter" and "South Sea Return Chapter".
There are ten articles in total, and the amount of information is amazing.
In the first day of the first chapter, Cai He recorded the size of the fleet, as well as its components, the number of fleets, the number of sailors, the number of soldiers, and the number of miscellaneous personnel.
There is almost no nonsense, and each data is thrown in the face, leaving the reader breathless.
Then Cai He also wrote down his optimistic attitude towards this mission, as well as his 100% loyalty to the Grand Imperial Division, and of course also described his observations of the crew.
Uneasy and nervous, Cai He foresaw the possibility of a mutiny among the crew from day one.
In addition to the strange customs and customs in "The Great Voyage", the biggest attraction is the mental journey of Cai He and his crew. Cai He grew from a little person who only worked hard to complete the mission to a respected commander in charge of the entire fleet.
The crew members have gone through ups and downs and become fearless adventurers, and the twists and turns are often unexpected.
Everyone read "The Great Voyage" and Cai He found an island soon after setting off and thought it was the Fairy Island in the ancient books. When they saw Cai He and felt that the Fairy Island had no highlights, everyone felt that Cai He was
Ignorance, or bragging.
But later they will find that compared to the New World and Europe, these islands really have nothing to do with them. They are just supply points for fresh water. In the chapter on the return trip to the South Seas, Cai He will land on the supply island again and send out: "The world is a world."
Ball." Sense of concept.
Then there is the tedious daily navigation. Although it is very boring, Cai He still records every day, such as what time he measured the course and what time he gazed at the stars. Of course, navigation terminology cannot be avoided here, which would be confusing to ordinary people.
But people with a discerning eye discovered that Cai He could not get lost in the sea by using the astrology and compass and matching the map.
"These are too boring, I want to read the back." Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu read a book together, but Tianming only wanted to read exciting adventure stories.
Xiang Shaoyu ignored him and read on.
Finally seeing the part about the storm and rebellion, the men felt their blood surge. Although Cai He did not over-edit it, the tension of fighting the storm between the lines was still vivid on the page. There were many technical terms of navigation that were constantly mentioned, which also made them excited.
People don't know how powerful it is, but they always feel like Cai He is taking action against the storm, which is shocking.
The final decision to abandon the sunken and injured ships also diluted the sadness. Then came the rebellion, which made readers grit their teeth. Unknowingly, they all entered Cai He's perspective, because Cai He remained loyal and calm throughout the process.
Treating problems calmly is exactly the protagonist's template.
Seeing that Cai He killed the rebels, the readers breathed a sigh of relief and applauded one after another. However, the next section was the low point of the book. Cai He and the crew began to doubt whether they could return to the shore.
Readers can't help but feel immersed in it, and seem to feel a sense of despair. There is no end to the vast sea. How can they find their way only by relying on the stars in the sky?
Although I know that Cai He must have succeeded, this part still makes the reader feel heavy and depressed.
Gai Nie and other experts felt that the hearts of the readers around them were actually affected by the words in the book, and they couldn't help but secretly scream. At the same time, they thought that it was probably because the words in the book were simple and the records were real people and real events that it was so gripping and addictive.
Then came the discovery of the New World. Cai He recorded the joy at that time, and the dark clouds in the readers' minds were swept away. The only regret was that Cai He didn't know the name of the bird that discovered the land. He originally wanted to wait.
Dulan named it, but Dulan completely forgot about it.
Then we ventured into the New World and came into contact with the unique indigenous people for the first time, which was even more eye-opening. It turned out that there were people living naked in the forest, and it was always raining in that place.
Everything about South America is amazing. The collector's edition has three times the number of pictures than the regular edition, and they are also colorful. It depicts the appearance of Mayan warriors, as well as the Mayan city-states and the Mayan calendar. You can only see the ordinary edition.
Black and white silhouettes of Mayan city-states.
The types and quantities of goods exchanged are also indispensable. Of course, Cai He did not hide the construction of the "mobile brothel". There is another series of dazzling data. Readers said it was very enjoyable.
Reading without sleep or food, after leaving the Mayan civilization, they continued southward and entered the world of ice and snow. It was also a painful time. Two ships hit icebergs, and some crew members had to have their limbs amputated due to frostbite.
However, due to the discovery of the New World, Cai He and the crew began to believe the words of the Great Imperial Master, so Cai He recorded in the book: Although the number of wounded became more and more due to the cold weather, no one complained about returning. It can be seen that the fleet has completely changed.
.
Cai He even said: I heard Master say that the extreme north is also so cold, but when I have the chance, I want to take a look and tell which side is colder. These optimistic words let readers know that Cai He's inner transformation has been completed.
Entering the Atlantic Ocean, there was another ocean. Cai He said: "After one ocean, there is another ocean. The continent is surrounded by oceans. Master's globe shows that there are more seas and less land. You must not deceive me." He added the words of the earth.
There are two pictures on the front and back, with place names on it, as well as Cai He's previous Pacific routes and his position in the Atlantic Ocean.
This was drawn by Cai He himself, and it was also the first nautical chart that appeared in the book. He then calculated how many days it would take to reach Europe.
Cai He lives his life on his fingers. Of course, besides sailing, he is also recharging his energy. He occasionally records his learning experience and unknown problems in his diary.
Among them are ocean currents. The diary says that the sea is not stagnant but it can also flow. This is the ocean current, but he doesn't know how the ocean current flows and what it has to do with the survival of marine life.
Until they arrived in Britain, they met the Celts, and it was a new story. Seeing that all the Celts were hiding, the readers were dumbfounded. They expressed their affirmation of Cai He's behavior of leaving food to test, and expressed their appreciation for Cai He's performance.
The magnanimity of the Central Plains people.
Of course, the readers were also very curious, because they found that the civilization of this place was higher than that of the New World, and Cai He also began to repeatedly mention the word "Rome" at this time, and he praised Rome in his words. The readers knew that Rome might be
A country as big as Qin.
I really want to watch the back part, but the transaction with the Celtics is still very interesting, especially the captain's purchase of slaves is a show-off. It is the first part of the whole voyage that is full of laughter.
After patience, I finally reached the Roman chapter, and another huge civilization settlement slowly opened its curtain and appeared in front of the Eastern people. In more than 200 BC, the two civilization systems of the East and the West met in the book.
