Chapter 284: Globe

Since the beginning of winter, this day has become more and more leisurely.

And only after playing mahjong was made, this novel and fun game immediately aroused everyone's interest, Yu Wuya was disdainful at first, but after understanding the rules, he watched Chen Xu and Wang Wu and others play mahjong happily, and then chess was not studied, and they played mahjong all day long, but although this thing is good at chess, but playing mahjong is a little short-circuited in the head, almost never won, has been losing and losing, but it is never tired.

Playing mahjong without water is boring, but except for Chen Xu himself, there is no money, Yu Wuya does not say, no money, Wang Wu and Wang Qi and other four guards did not bring much money, and after a few days of fighting, Chen Xu won the money, and then Chen Xu let the money work to earn money, add firewood to the earthen kang, feed the horses, remove dung, clean, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, etc., according to the difficulty of the task to pay wages, wages in the hands of the water gentle, this is not only a kind of entertainment, but also a punishment, these things have to be done by someone to do these things in the cold, anyway, idle eggs hurt.

However, this kind of money-making activity has won everyone's active participation, so the work is also done, mahjong is also played, a room of people are happy and full of interest every day, even Shui Qingrou and Chen Jiang occasionally participate in a few rounds of entertainment.

"Dashi will play a few cards for me!" After Chen Xu finished eating the lollipop, he felt a little holding his urine and wanted to go to the toilet.

"Eh, good!" Niu Dashi, who had been scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, immediately sat down happily.

After peeing, he came out of the latrine, looking at the rolling snow and the white mountains, Chen Xu stood in the snow and stood up to the sky for a long time.

It's been more than half a year since I was hit and killed, and I don't know what happened to my parents in the future? Do they remember their sons? Do you know that your son's soul is not dead and has traveled through time and space to Daqin?

This cold winter is followed by spring.

If the guess is correct, Qin Shi Huang will start his parade again.

Moreover, even without Xu Fu's participation, Qin Shi Huang still knew about the overseas sacred mountain, and the process of arranging for Fang Shi to go to sea to find the elixir of immortality did not seem to have changed at all.

This is an opportunity, do you have to make some preparations in advance to meet him?

Although Qinghe Town is good, but as Jiangbei Pavilion said, it is too small, if you want to change the fate of Great Qin, you must go to Xianyang and meet Qin Shi Huang, who is known as the first emperor of the ages.

And this goes, Chen Xu feels that he is sure.

The method of smelting steel has basically been successful, and gunpowder has been initially developed, although because of impurities and production problems, it can only reach the combustion level of ordinary fireworks gunpowder, but as long as the research continues, there is no problem in making black powder with real explosive power, but it is limited by the production of sulfur and nitrate, and the quantity will definitely not be too much.

Chen Xu walked into the laboratory, spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to slowly draw a map of the world that he could roughly remember, and on the table, there was also a large wooden ball that looked extremely round and polished with wood, and the longitude and latitude were drawn with thin red lines, but the land and sea had not yet been drawn.

Chen Xu was concentrating on his work, and time neglected to pass half an hour.

"Crunch~"

The door was gently pushed open, and Shui came in softly holding a cup of steaming tea, and gently placed it on the workbench, "Chen Lang, drink some hot tea and rest for a while!" ”

Chen Xu put down the brush, turned his head to hold Shui's soft waist and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, I'm playing all day long!" I'm afraid that if I continue like this every day, my ambition will be exhausted! ”

Shui gently wrapped his arms around Chen Xu's neck, sat on his lap and leaned his whole body on his arms, looked at the map of Asia, Europe and America on the paper, and said curiously: "What is Chen Lang painting here?" Looks like a map! ”

"It's a map, and it's the whole world we live in!" Chen Xu pointed to the easternmost place of a place marked with Asia: "You see, our Great Qin is here now, to the east is the sea, there is an island called Yingzhou two thousand miles away from the sea, to the north is the place where the Xiongnu gather, and then to the north is called Siberia, there are some other barbarians, but for half of the year it is a cold and snowy climate, the area is vast and sparsely populated, and then continue north to the north of the earth, where there is an ice ocean, almost all year round is covered by ice armor, And half a year of day and half a year of night in that place, sometimes you can see the beautiful aurora, the sky and the earth are like a magnificent rainbow, from the Siberian continent to the east, there is a strait, the narrowest place is less than a hundred miles, if the weather is good, you can drive a boat for a day and a night, the opposite of the strait is the American continent, also called Dongsheng Shenzhou, in fact, there are also records in the Book of Mountains and Seas, but because the Book of Mountains and Seas is written by no one else, the recorded situation is unknown, I can't correspond to one by one. ”

"Chen Lang, the Book of Mountains and Seas is not vague, but too long, since ancient times, there have been many great wars and changes between heaven and earth, so we can't see the records clearly, the Mountains and Seas are written in the West Mountain Classic called Buzhou Mountain, the Great Wilderness West Classic also has a record of Buzhou Mountain, and Lie Gong has also written in the handwriting Tang Wen about Buzhou Mountain, Chen Lang wait a minute, I will go to Tang Wen and the mountains and seas I copied to take you to see!"

Shui gently stood up and left the lab, returning a few minutes later, with an old yellow-haired bamboo roll and several books in his hand.

"Chen Lang, this is the handwriting of the Liegong left to us by the master!"

Shui gently and carefully put the bamboo slip on the table, untied the hemp rope on it, and gently pulled it apart, revealing the two big red seals at the beginning, and after all of them were unfolded, he pointed to one of the chapters and said: "Heaven and earth are also things." There is a shortage of things, so the former Nuwa clan refined five-color stones to make up for its shortcomings; It is enough to stand at the four poles. Later, the Gonggong clan and Zhuan Xuan fought for the emperor, and they were angry and could not touch the mountain of Zhou, folded the pillar of heaven, and the Jedi dimension, so the sky tilted to the northwest, and the sun, moon and stars were in place; The land is not satisfied with the southeast, so the rivers and rivers are returned. ”

Although Chen Xu didn't know the word, he understood this passage.

This is the story of the ancient legend that the Gonggong workers hit Buzhou Mountain.

"Lie Gong and Shi Zun have studied the Book of Mountains and Seas countless times, trying to find the source of those legendary myths during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, according to the comparison, Lie Gong believes that the world we live in now has undergone great changes with the ancient books of the ancient terrain and landforms of the Mountains and Seas, among which the Gonggong clan hit Buzhou Mountain is the biggest destruction and change, Shizun once said that Buzhou Mountain is the only road from the human world to the heavenly realm, in the west of Kunlun."

Shui gently opened a book with the Great Wilderness West Scripture, pointed to one of the paragraphs and said: "Northwest overseas, in the corner of the Great Wilderness, there are mountains that do not match, and the name is not good. Therefore, Shizun guessed that the reason why this mountain is called Buzhou Mountain is because this mountain was originally a little incomplete, and it had begun to split and be incomplete, and as a result, it collapsed completely under the collision of the Gonggong clan, that is to say, Buzhou Mountain should have been an intact mountain before that, from the human world to the heavenly realm, but it was slowly damaged later, until the Gonggong clan and the Gonggong clan fought for the throne that they hit this mountain in a fit of anger, and then completely cut off the road between the heavenly realm and the human world, and the descendants will no longer be able to find the way to the heavenly realm......"

Chen Xu: ......

The mythical story of Gonggong's anger touching the mountains is almost a household name in later generations.

And there are many people in history who have studied the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Liezi is one of the more powerful.

According to the legends of ancient mythology, Buzhou Mountain should have originated from the god Pangu.

After the Pangu clan opened the world, his strength was exhausted and he died, his body turned into a plain, his bones turned into mountains, his blood turned into rivers, and his hair turned into grasslands and forests, but he didn't know what the mountains were turned into, Chen Xu secretly looked at his crotch after pondering for a long time!

"The pillar of heaven is broken, the earth is extinct, the sky is tilted northwest and the earth is sunk to the southeast, and the huge changes have caused the flood to sweep Kyushu, so it is reasonable that the geography of Kyushu and the geography recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas cannot correspond to it one by one, it is said that most of Kyushu has been submerged by monstrous floods, this is not only the speculation of Liegong and Shizun, but also the grandmaster of the Yin-Yang School, Zou Yan, has also put forward the same speculation, and I heard Shizun say that the two have had a careful and in-depth discussion and exchange on this matter!" Shui said softly as she looked at the Book of Mountains and Seas that she had copied.

According to the understanding of the earth in later generations, this kind of record of the Shan Hai Jing is completely untrustworthy, because the earth is a round sphere, and it is not at all what the ancients guessed that the sky and the earth look like.

But with the continuous development of human science, in fact, what is the world where the earth is located is like even scientists themselves are still arguing, because the emergence of quantum theory may allow human beings on the earth to come into contact with the high-dimensional universe, whether the earth is round or a huge question mark from a high-dimensional perspective, because in the four-dimensional space, the shape is not fixed, and it is in motion and changing all the time, and the concept of shape is seen differently in different dimensions, such as the sphere seen in three-dimensional space. In two-dimensional space it is a flat circle, in one-dimensional space it is a line, and in zero-dimension it is just a point.

Therefore, after the development of cosmic science, some people slowly took it out and studied it, whether the Classic of Mountains and Seas describes the geography of the earth seen by later generations, or the geography in the eyes of those gods and demons in mythological stories?

The circular Earth floating in the universe is observed, and the devil knows what shape it looks like when viewed at high latitudes.

And the most incredible thing is that none of the animals recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are normal, either the bird-headed human body or the hydra body, even the ancient demon gods such as Gonggong, Xingtian, Xiangliu, Chiyou, Yushi, and Fengbo are not similar to normal humans, with horns and long wings and long tails, as well as eyes and mouths on the belly, and even the ancestor of China, Emperor Yan, has two horns.

According to the theory of earth evolution and biological evolution in later generations, this is completely impossible, because the earth can excavate tens of millions of years ago dinosaur fossils, hundreds of millions of years ago trilobite fossils, but these monster fossils have never been dug up.

But the ancients have recorded it conclusively, and it is not only in China, but also in foreign countries, the famous Sphinx is one of the most typical ones, for Mao is the body of a lion and the head of a human?

Therefore, this seemingly absurd record of the Classic of Mountains and Seas cannot be completely explained according to the so-called scientific theories of later generations, and it cannot be explained at all.

If you want to fool Qin Shi Huang in the future, one of the easiest ways is to go to Egypt, let him see the pyramids he described, and dig the sphinx out of the desert to show him, and tell him that since the fall of Buzhou Mountain, human beings have no chance of immortality, the aura of heaven and earth has collapsed, and the gods have died of thirst in the desert.

And to achieve this goal, at least arrange for a large army to fight all the way along the Hexi Corridor to Central Asia, from Arabia across the Mediterranean to Egypt.

However, at present, there is still a powerful empire between Greece and the Great Qin Empire, called the Resting Empire, which controls the vast area between Iran and Afghanistan, if you want to go, you must first get this Resting Empire, but even after the past, it is not easy to do, because the Mediterranean coast should still be under the rule of the Macedonian Empire, and the Roman Empire is also infiltrating Greece, and the two sides broke out in Asia Minor The Macedonian War lasted for ten years, and the time happened to be the time when the Qin Dynasty conquered Baiyue and expelled the Xiongnu. At this time, when the army has passed, I am afraid that the most brutal war between the four great empires of the earth will break out in Central Asia.

The Great Qin laborers went on an expedition, and the terrain was unfamiliar, the time and place were not favorable, and the outcome was very unpredictable.

Because at this time, both the Anxi Empire and the Roman Empire were super-first-class powerful empires, and their strength was no worse than that of Qin, and even in terms of weapons and equipment, the Roman Empire was even more powerful, and their mathematical geometry and metal smelting were stronger than those of Great Qin.

But if it is more difficult to go late, because the current Xiongnu has begun to have the prototype of political power, in the second year after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the Xiongnu killed the Donghu and Yueshi under the rule of Mao Dunshan Yu, ruled the entire Central Asian region, and formed the Xiongnu Han State called by later generations, and then continued to harass the Central Plains, and almost trapped Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, in Baideng City.

Therefore, China wants to get rid of the hidden danger of the Xiongnu, now is the best time, but it is a pity that Qin Shi Huang spent too long on the conquest of Baiyue, which led to the failure to completely kill the Xiongnu in the end, plus the Chu and Han wars for more than ten years, and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty after the civil strife subsided, the Xiongnu also took advantage of this opportunity to become bigger, and became a stubborn enemy who could not be defeated.

As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers.

The sooner the Xiongnu were dealt with, the better, so that the Great Qin Empire would encounter fewer strong enemies as it expanded into West Asia on land.

Chen Xu thoughtfully used his brush to draw a few small triangles in the narrowest part of the Mediterranean, near the coast of Africa.

"Chen Lang, what do you mean by this mark?" The water was soft and puzzled.

"There is an empire called Egypt, their ancestor is a sphinx-faced god, their king is called Pharaoh, these pharaohs have a very strange hobby, that is, they like to design their tombs into pointed cones on all sides, so they call it pyramids......" Chen Xu gently explained the pyramid while holding the water.

"Chen Lang, are these all what you saw in that Kyushu anecdote? It's so strange that the man with a human face and the body of a sphin, but the mausoleum is a pointed cone! Shui asked softly in amazement.

"yes, I'm amazed too, if only I could go and see it! It's a pity that it's too far away, and there are all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the road, you have to cross the snow-capped mountains and plateaus, and you have to wade through big rivers and quicksand deserts. Chen Xu said with a smile.

"As long as Chen Lang wants to go, I will accompany you to go, and you can endure any hardships and hardships!" The water gently felt someone's hand sneaking into the clothes and rubbing it gently, and suddenly his cheeks turned crimson, and spring water began to flow and ripple in his eyes.

Chen Xu glanced back at the door of the laboratory, and faintly heard the sound of crackling mahjong.

"Poof~" Shui covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

A trace of charm dissipated, Chen Xu also picked up the quill, dipped it in ink, compared the map drawn on the paper, and carefully began to draw the first globe in human history on the big wooden ball, and at the same time told the historical stories he remembered to Shui to listen softly.

Although Shui Qingrou didn't know what his man was going to do with the map on the wooden ball, he quietly accompanied him, helping to grind the ink and serve tea, watching this big wooden ball called the globe begin to change day by day, mountains, rivers, grasslands, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and the sea......
