Chapter 897: The New Age of Discovery

Beijing returned to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty ordered the Liao general Guo Yaoshi to lead the troops to garrison. )

And Wang An, the Song Zhiyanshan Mansion, who directly dealt with the Zhang Jue incident, and the imperial court Zaizhi also saw the negative impact of this incident on Guo Yaoshi, and felt that they had been treated badly by Guo Yaoshi and other Liao generals. Therefore, I am also very afraid that Pharmacist Guo will have objections, and I cater to Pharmacist Guo everywhere, and meet Pharmacist Guo's requirements.

For this reason, the Song court made Guo Yaoshi a lieutenant and summoned him to the court, but he could not refuse. Guo Yaoshi's actions aroused the suspicion of Song Tingxia, and Zhao Ji sent Tong Guan to secretly visit in the name of patrolling the border. and ordered Guanru to find out that Guo Yaoshi did have an attempt to defect and hijack him into the court.

"If the sky wants to destroy the Song, what can I do!" Listening to Tu Si's report, Lotte couldn't help but sigh.

"Flood Wang? Who is it? ”

Shakuchi hurriedly said: "Official, you forgot, this flood Wang is the official you gave the sea chart and the king a big ship of 5,000 materials, selected the best sailors, and went east along the north of Dongying, and now after four years, the flood Wang has returned from the extreme east!" ”

Hearing this, Lotte looked excited with joy, couldn't help but stand up, and asked, "The letter says where that Wang Shui Wang has reached the farthest, have you ever found anything interesting?" ”

Shakuchi reminded: "Official, the Son of Heaven has issued an order not to allow the Hou Ye to leave Biandu!" ”

Normally, a pigeon carries a note with only a few handwriting, but this time it is clear that several carrier pigeons were used, and more than a dozen letters were transmitted. Lotte unfolded and watched them one by one, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Shakuchi hurriedly replied: "The little one is here, what do the officials command?" ”

Tu Si hurriedly said: "Official, there will be two paddle wheels transporting arms to Hangzhou early tomorrow morning. ”

Nodding, Lotte instructed Shakuhachi again: "Shakuhachi, go and prepare the things for my trip, and at the same time let Wu Song and Yang Zhi get ready, and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Lotte understands that the three animals that Floodwang is talking about are polar bears, seals, and walruses, and it is obvious that Floodwang has at least reached the north of Kamchatka in later generations, and even reached the Bering Strait, so that these animals that are only available in the Arctic can be seen.

The smile on Lotte's face was even stronger, according to Hung Wang, Hung Wang should have reached North America, Canada and the United States in later generations, and the brown bears and Indians living there were obviously the symbols of these two places.

Lotte understood that Hung Wang's fleet should have reached the Americas.

Lotte understood that the ships of the flood were to Luzon along the Pacific line, and then from Luzon north to the Great Song.

When it comes to food crops, Lotte's eyes can't help but light up, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops native to the Americas are not only high-yield but also easy to plant and harvest, although it was introduced to China from the late Ming Dynasty, but it was popularized in the braided dynasty of later generations, the population of China increased from 100 million to 400 million These crops contributed a lot, and from 400 million to 1.3 billion in later generations, which is inseparable from the great development of agricultural science and technology.

Because of the flood Wang came back from the Americas, Lotte was excited all night without closing his eyes, and the flood volume discovered the American continent, which means that it belongs to the official beginning of the new era of exploration in China.

Early in the morning, Lotte took Wu Song, Yang Zhi and Shakuhachi out of the Horse Mansion in disguise, and then stopped the steamer on the Bianhe River.

And the muskets were all equipped with the army stationed in the sea off Hangzhou, compared to the threat of the Jin people to the Great Song Dynasty, the overseas natives made trouble at all; Due to the limitations of productive forces and production technology, the annual output of flintlock muskets was only about 2,000, and the muskets produced in the sixth year of Xuanhe and the seventh year of Xuanhe were also 3,000.

Woo......

The wisdom of the ancients is infinite, not to mention that the Chinese people are good at inventing and creating, Lotte never thought of the whistle, and there were craftsmen in the courtyard who thought of the whistle, and then tried to produce the whistle and installed it in the steam engine, which greatly solved the problem of water warning and the problem of communication, because the whistle can be used to express the signal with the length of the sound, so that the ships can communicate.

It is true that the development of the scientific and technological level of later generations is based on the philosophical theories of ancient Greece, but it has also been said in the previous book that it is precisely because of the creation of patents that the invention and the use of invention patents have maximized the benefits and promoted the development of the scientific and technological level.

Because of the patent, a group of craftsmen in the courtyard began to brainstorm, all kinds of ideas continue to come out, directly promote the development of steel technology and steam engine manufacturing process, used to lubricate the steam engine bearings are ordinary soybeans, rapeseed and other vegetable oil, some craftsmen remembered the inedible castor oil, used as lubricating oil is more suitable.

After continuous improvement, the power of the steam engine used to be much larger, from the sea to the river steam engine, has formed a series, the paddle steamer propulsion paddle wheel has also changed from both sides of the push to the rear push.

With a loud whistle, those small boats will avoid the steam engine ship in the first place, reducing the occurrence of accidents.
