Deep Space Fleet

Facing the scholar's doubts, Zhang Yuan was not hesitant, and turned out another paper, which expounded the climate environment on the back of the planet from the aspect of ocean current.

On the blackboard, he drew a picture of the current of the planet with chalk: "If you stand on the atmosphere above the North Pole and look down at the entire planet, you can find the current of the entire planet, rotating counterclockwise. You should know that our Boulder The warm current flows from the west to the east. That is, from a warm place to a cold place. "

"Because of this warm current, the temperature here is warmer than the rest of the region."

Due to the uneven heating of the planet, the energy will spontaneously transfer from the hot area to the cold area. This is the law of thermodynamics.

This planet is locked by the stars to the tide. The rotation period is equal to the revolution period, and it is not without rotation. Such a slight rotation will cause a geostrophic bias to cause the general trend of ocean currents and air currents to be counterclockwise.

"What will this cause?"

Zhang Yuan drew a circle on the blackboard.

"At the other end of the planet, the ocean currents flow from the east to the west. That is, from the cold to the warm."

"If the cold current meets land, it will greatly reduce the temperature of this land."

"So, the climate on the back of the planet will theoretically be colder than this side. The temperature of the same meridian, the same latitude, and the light band is expected to be about ten degrees lower than this end, which is the original four. Ten degrees Celsius, to 30 degrees Celsius. "

"What if we found the continent in the light strip?"

"There is light, there is a continent, the climate is right, and it will become a new paradise for mankind!"

"As long as it exists and we can ... find it!"

The ambitious third exploration begins again.

This time, although well-founded, it still frightened many people. Some people began to ridicule Zhang Yuan's whimsy again. Even many sailors in the family showed hesitation and fear, and they were reluctant to participate in such activities.

Explore the world!

A feat never before seen in the world!

The global exploration of this world is far more difficult than that of the earth. Because the earth has a large continent, there are many points that can be recharged ashore, but this world does not. The islands of the entire world are equivalent to only one Southeast Asian island, no Eurasia, South America, North America, Australia, Antarctica, all!

Staying away from land for a long time, let alone letting go of the difficulty of replenishing supplies, will cause a serious sense of panic in the hearts of everyone over time.

Zhang Yuan also knows that this may be the last adventure in this life. He is already in his 40s and his body has started to go downhill.

This may also be the last chance for the whole world.

He did not force the sailors unwilling to join the expedition within the family. There are young people in Boulder who want to get rich and want to gain fame.

However, no one knows whether this expedition will be the long march towards victory or the road to death.

"If it fails this time, there is no place to explore anymore. Honestly take care of yourself at home, haha!" Zhang Yuan turned his head and smiled at his sister Anna.

Yeah, if it fails, this world can only do so.

There is no way to fight the whole world. It is also good to calm down and develop some science and productivity.

Of course, in the current environment, no matter how it develops, Zhang Yuan believes that it is impossible to break through the upper bound and only chronic death ... but it is better than no development.

"Goodbye!"

Sister Anna is already a noble lady and mother of three children. "You will also be a great navigator in the future."

Although she still couldn't understand her brother's choice, she could only support her in the end.

"Goodbye!" All the friends and family saw off on shore.

Zhang Yuan embarked on the new steamship "Victory"-with the technological innovation, a faster steam power, schooner.

There are a total of eight similar large ships in the entire fleet. Zhang Yuan once again lost the family property he had earned over the years, and started the third expedition among people's discussions, blessings, worship, taunts, and expectations.

A historian wrote in his book: "Earl Huffman, even if no new continent is found, even if the third voyage fails, it is enough to be remembered by history ..."

"Oh world, we need a continent, a continent full of light!"

"Let us discover it. Many suffering people in our world are still hungry. They are homeless and have no clothes to wear. Let us discover it ..."

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and gave a command: "Yang Fan, sail!"

The entire global expedition will pass the Arctic route to the other side of the planet. The five ships carry a population of 3,000. If it goes well, it will take 300 days. If it goes wrong, it may take 400 or even 500 days.

It must be a difficult journey.

A young sailor held the rope in both hands, hoisted the sail, and looked at the stars of Boulder City with lights, he suddenly felt an unwillingness.

He asked the chief mate around him, "Rock, what will happen if we really find a new continent on the back of the planet? Will we get rich?"

"Shit, it's whimsical here so early!" The chief officer grinned and said, "Even the Count has no such confidence. But ... do you know what a new continent means to us?"

"what?"

He opened his hands as if embracing the future: "We will be the heroes of Boulder! We will be remembered by history! Our name can be raised by humans after a thousand years."

"Whether it is wealth or honor, let us choose, if you want, you can even get a fief in the New World and become the owner of the manor! Of course, provided that we can survive and see the New World Sun ... With the sun! "

"How beautiful the sun is. I don't know. Have you ever seen a distant sun?"

"What if there is no new continent?" The young sailor asked again.

"Is there no new continent ..." A big frown frowned, and he sighed: "In fact, it's nothing, it's equivalent to a long-distance voyage ... Master Earl will naturally pay you wages, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is not short of a child. "

"But there is no new continent ..."

He turned to look at a bright room on the upper deck. "Master may be bankrupt again. I can't imagine if there will be anyone else in the world who is willing to explore this dark and huge world. . "

"How hopeful there is a new continent ..."

Everyone lost interest in talking about the long sea life in the future.

Everyone was with a trace of confusion, a trace of longing, and a trace of hesitation towards the future.

"Victory" made a whimper, left a bit heavy, leaving Boulder. Everyone has no idea what their future looks like. The priest on the ship performed a very traditional prayer ceremony.

"May we not regret today's choice."
