Chapter 1810: Frighten Magellan

Marin hesitated for a long time because he didn't know how to persuade Magellan to dispel the idea. After all, this is a beautiful thing that can be famous in the world. Without sufficient reason, it is difficult for the other party to give up.

In the end, Marin thought about it, thinking that Magellan felt that he could earn the most reputation because of a "first". If this "first" is lost, will the other party dispel the idea? So Malin weighed his tone and said:

"Mr. Magellan, it's not that I don't want to help you. Rather, someone has already completed the matter of sailing around the world. It's just that it's not published ..."

Then, a cauldron was buckled on the legendary Einstein ...

"What? Someone has completed the voyage around the world? Who is it? Why is there no news? Shouldn't ..."

Magellan couldn't understand it. In his view, if someone completed a voyage around the world, they could not wait to announce the result in order to achieve their reputation.

Marin, who decided to dump the pot, Einstein calmly said:

"Not everyone is passionate about fame and fortune, Mr. Magellan. As for which senior, may I tell you that my teacher Einstein ..."

"Is it 'St. Einstein'?" Magellan was taken aback, then suddenly. Because, as we all know in Europe now, Einstein is a bitter monk who has passed away, a traveler who is said to have traveled to many parts of the world. Such a person seems to be justified in completing the voyage around the world. As for the unpublished results ... they are hard monks, they do n’t care about fame and fortune at all ...

Marin nodded, then, pretending to remember the martyrs, explained:

"Yes, his old man had spent decades of savings, including donations from believers in many trips, bought a big boat, and carried dozens of followers on a voyage around the world. However, the voyage around the world It was too dangerous. In that voyage, only the teacher himself survived in the end. The dozens of followers he took either died in a terrible storm or died from scurvy on the ship ... "

In fact, Marin is scaring Magellan-sailing around the world is dangerous, don't go ...

Magellan hesitated. Although he was 35 years old, he was not married yet, and he hadn't improved in his career. He didn't want to die so early. However, he was not reconciled. So he asked:

"So, Your Majesty, I want to know, what is west of the Wild Continent?" After he finished, he looked at Marin with hope.

Marin thought for a while and said:

"It's an endless sea ..." The name of the sea between the continents of Azeroth suddenly appeared in Marin's mind.

Now that the name of Warcraft is applied, Marin simply continues to apply:

"It is said that west of the wild continent is a very wide endless ocean, so it is called the endless sea. At the same time, because the storm is strong, it is also called the storm sea ..."

"The teacher's record says that the ocean is wide, there is a large vortex in the middle, and the storm is high, and there seems to be a bottomless hole in the middle of the sea. Every day, hundreds of millions of barrels of seawater are swallowed, which seems to lead to the **** of the earth's center. Half of the teacher ’s followers on that voyage were caught in the sea when they passed the bottomless cavern of the maelstrom, and disappeared into the bottomless cave ... Teacher they were also lucky, just because the boat was blocked by a reef before the whole boat was swallowed Into the bottomless cave of the maelstrom ... Later, after the calm waves calmed down, I escaped in disarray ... "

"Maelstrom? Bottomless hole?" What the **** is this? Magellan is full of paste ...

Marin took an interest, took out a pencil, and based on the map of the previous mountain pass, sketched a schematic diagram of the endless sea and maelstrom on a white paper. Then, tell Magellan to say:

"In short, sailing in the endless sea is very dangerous. Without God ’s blessing, my teacher ca n’t even come back ..."

Magellan swallowed and thought for a while, then hesitantly asked:

"So, how wide is this endless sea?"

Marin thought about it-it seems that the Pacific Ocean is the widest at 19,000 kilometers, while the Atlantic Ocean is the widest at 2,800 kilometers ... well, in this case ...

"Probably six or seven times the width of the Atlantic ..."

Magellan suddenly collapsed a little bit-Nima, it will take more than two months to cross the Atlantic Ocean, then is the Pacific Ocean, which is six or seven times wider than the Atlantic Ocean, would it not take more than a year to sail?

Seemingly seeing Magellan's thoughts, Marin continued to introduce:

"Taiping ... ah no, there is no continent in the middle of the endless sea, only a few small islands that are sporadic. And, it should be pointed out that these islands may be coral reefs with no fresh water on them. That is to say , Sailing on the endless sea, it is not necessary to avoid the terrible whirlpools and storms, but also to prevent the crew from thirst without fresh water to drink ... "

"In addition, the teacher once said that if you stay in the sea for several months, the crew are very susceptible to scurvy. Therefore, it is best to go to the shore and eat fresh food ..." Marin did not explain what vitamin C is. Knowledge, because Magellan is not his own, there is no need to tell him. In addition, what is scurvy, compared to Magellan. Because, the Portuguese have encountered many such situations when sailing to India. Even the first brother of Dhaka who first discovered India died of scurvy.

Magellan nodded solemnly and said:

"I understand, we sail to India and often encounter this ..."

Marin smiled and said:

"Maybe sailing to India does not have to cross the endless sea, but you must understand that sailing to India, most of the time is sailing against the African continent. Only when you reach Mombasa or Malindi on the east coast of Africa, will you cross Cross the Arabian Sea to India. However, this time is only about one month (less than one month when encountering a downwind). Therefore, the fleet has the opportunity to replenish the shore and get some fresh food and water to prevent bad. Blood disease. But if you cross the endless sea, there is no land along the way to supplement fresh water and food. Not to mention that it is easy to die of thirst, and the chance of getting scurvy is very high! You are a nautical professional, and I must understand this point. "

Magellan nodded solemnly, and then asked suspiciously:

"So, respectable" St. Einstein "~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ how to solve the freshwater crisis when crossing the endless sea?" According to Marin, the person on Einstein's ship should Can't insist on crossing the endless sea. Because fresh water is not enough ...

Marin was stunned for a while, and he was aware of the loopholes in his words. So, he told the running brain that he finally thought of a reasonable explanation--

"That's it. My teacher was lucky, and he encountered rainy weather many times along the way. He only solved the freshwater crisis by collecting rainwater."

"That's also good luck. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to persevere if you continue to encounter sunny days ... It is said that there is a period of continuous sunny days and it does not rain. Everyone does not have enough fresh water to drink. When they are thirsty, sailors We all solve the thirst problem by drinking our own urine ... "Marin deliberately praised the avenue.

Magellan was taken aback—what? Drink urine? very scary! very scary……
