Happy Tycoon

Seeing Yang Jing holding the broken nautical chart with a beaming expression on his face, Grid asked a little bit puzzledly: "This is what you said about picking up a leak? I don't think so much, isn't it just a broken nautical chart. Picture."

Yang Jing chuckled happily on Grid’s face, and whispered: “Daughter-in-law, if I missed your husband, you will know in a while. It’s not convenient to show here. Let’s find a secluded place and I’ll show it to you. You will know."

　　 This was a complete hook of Grid’s curiosity, and the girl stopped arguing about visiting the flea market immediately, pulling Yang Jing and hurried back to the hotel.

　　 In the hotel room, a few people gathered together, not only the excitement on Gege's face, even the four bodyguards of Chris were also looking forward to and excited.

When visiting the flea market in Beaumont, the four of them saw the two broken nautical charts put together with their own eyes. Now the third nautical chart is here again, and it is very possible to synthesize an entire nautical chart. Let them, those Americans who have been looking forward to finding a legendary pirate treasure since they were young, are full of expectations.

Yang Jing looked at several people, smiled and shook his head, only then carefully removed the plastic seal on the nautical chart that he had just bought, and then pretended to take the other two nautical charts from the bag and took them directly from the space. Out of the two nautical charts obtained earlier.

Three incomplete nautical charts were laid out on the table. Yang Jing first put together the two nautical charts he had previously obtained, and explained to Grid: "These two incomplete nautical charts are from Paris. I bought it at the Vanfer Flea Market and the Flea Market in Beaumont, Texas Oil City. Look, is it amazing that these two incomplete nautical charts can be pieced together?"

　　 With the two incomplete nautical charts pieced together to form a single nautical chart, Grid also showed an unbelievable expression while covering his mouth.

　　 "This is amazing. You bought one in Paris and the other in Texas. It can be pieced together. It's really hard to imagine."

　　 Yang Jing smiled and said, "This is nothing. Let's take a look at the nautical chart we bought today!"

With that said, Yang Jing carefully took the nautical chart he bought today and started to piece it together. Without much effort, this incomplete nautical chart was really put together with the nautical chart that had been pieced together just now. A complete sheepskin nautical chart!

　　 The entire nautical chart is not very big, only 30 centimeters square, but when the third nautical chart is put together, a complete nautical chart of the upper half of the Atlantic Ocean is immediately in front of everyone.

Yang Jing pointed to the sailing routes from Europe to Boston, New York and Philadelphia directly via Icelandic waters, and said: "These routes are North Atlantic routes. At that time, the North Atlantic route was the closest from Europe to North America, but This route is also full of dangers."

　　Gege answered, "For example, the big ship named Titanic."

　　Yang Jing nodded, "Yes, although this route is the closest route from Europe to North America, there are also countless ships sank on this route, and many of them are luxurious cruise ships like the Titanic."

　　 Grid asked curiously: "Yang Jing, does this nautical chart indicate the location of the sunken ships? Then you go to salvage the sunken ships?"

Yang Jing smiled and shook his head and said: "How is it possible? If I am not wrong, this nautical chart should be from the hands of pirates. How can those pirates know the location of the sunken ships? Well, the reason why the North Atlantic route appeared. On this nautical chart, I guess it was those pirates who were drawing this nautical chart by comparing it with a gourd and drawing a scoop to speed up the North Atlantic route."

Yang Jing said while pointing to the Caribbean Sea and said: "At that time, this sea area was the most rampant area of ​​Caribbean pirates! Look here, the series of islands such as Montego Bay in Jamaica, Havana in Cuba, Haiti, and Bahamas. Numerous pirates have been cultivated. And if you look at this nautical chart, apart from the North Atlantic route, there are no other routes from Europe to North America and the Caribbean. On the contrary, there are many routes in the Caribbean, as well as from the Caribbean. The route to West Africa. So, it can be clearly distinguished from this nautical chart that this nautical chart should be a nautical chart hand-painted by a pirate in the early seventeenth or eighteenth century."

Grid nodded thoughtfully, "If you explain this way, this nautical chart seems to be really the same thing. But what about this route? From the Caribbean, this should be Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. Island, right? This route runs from Puerto Rico all the way north, passing through New York and Boston, and then continues north through the Labrador Sea, Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Smith Strait. The northernmost part of Smir Island. Yang Jing, what does this black six-pointed star mean? Why is the terminal of this route in this place? Why is it represented by such an evil symbol?"

　　 In the Christian doctrine, the six-pointed star is considered to be a representative of evil, so Grid asks that.

Yang Jing shrugged and said, "I don't know about this. But I can be sure that the place marked by this black hexagram is already deep into the Arctic Circle. In the 17th and 8th centuries, it was difficult for anyone to sail. Travel to a place so north. Of course, it is not ruled out that pirates would choose such a remote place for adventure or hiding treasures."

　　 Grid asked with bright eyes: "Then you mean that this nautical chart is very likely to be a treasure map of pirates?"

Yang Jing shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this. I just think this nautical chart is very strange. After all, most of this kind of parchment nautical chart appeared before the 18th century, and it is very likely that this nautical chart was drawn by pirates. But in the eighteenth century, almost no one could reach such a place to the north, let alone those pirates who had been rampant in the warm Caribbean waters all year round. How could they go to such remote and cold waters?"

　　Gege had nothing to say when he heard this.

The navigation technology of the 17th and 8th centuries was incomparable with modern times. In that era, with sail-powered ships, it was almost impossible to reach the seas above 70 degrees north latitude, let alone. The area marked by the black six-pointed star on the nautical chart even exceeds eighty degrees north latitude.

　　 You must know that the first recorded person in human history to explore the Arctic region, that is, the American explorer Peiry, was already at the end of the nineteenth century when he explored the northernmost point of Greenland!

Although this place marked with a black six-pointed star is not the northernmost point of Greenland, the northernmost point of Ellesmere Island is about the same as the northernmost point of Greenland. It belongs to the extreme north of the alpine region, where ordinary people simply cannot Survive.

　　 Even Yang Jing could not figure out why Mr. Boardman, nicknamed "Sea Snake", drew such a nautical chart. In terms of navigational technology at the time, it was unimaginable to be able to travel all the way from the Caribbean Sea to the extreme north of the alpine region. But, it's so marked on this nautical chart!

　　 If it weren't for telling Yang Jing that this nautical chart was useful, he really thought it was the painful doodle of the sea snake Bodman back then.

　　 But judging from the general shape of some strait islands noted by the navigation icons, it seems that Mr. "Sea Snake" has really been to those extreme north areas, otherwise he would not be able to draw such a nautical chart. If he can paint Newfoundland and Labrador peninsula, it is excusable, but he can paint almost the same on Baffin Island, Devon Island and Ellesmere Island further north, which is shocking. NS.

　　 In that era, there were no satellite surveying and mapping methods. If you want to draw the coastline of a sea area within ten, the person who draws the map must have visited those places in person, otherwise it will be impossible to draw it.

　　 But on the contrary, the nautical chart in front of me just drew the coastline of Baffin Island, Devon Island and Ellesmere Island further north! Although it was not so accurate, it was unimaginable to be able to paint that sea area like this at that time.

Yang Jing and Grid couldn’t figure it out~www.readwn.com~ but Clark McCann hesitated and said, “Boss, maybe other pirates can’t go to the high latitudes so far north, but a pirate may be able to do this. a little."

　　 "Huh? Clark, tell me something."

　　 Yang Jing knows that native Americans like Clark and the others have an extraordinary love for pirate culture. It is no exaggeration to say that in the heart of every American boy, there is a pirate dream that will never be erased. Some Americans are even better than those pirate experts, and they can tell various legends about pirates with their mouth open.

　　 Clark smiled and touched his head, looked at Yang Jing and then at Grid, and then said: "Boss, I wonder if you have ever heard of the ‘Black Baron’, Bashalomy Roberts?"

　　Yang Jing shook his head, but didn't want the Grid beside him to ask excitedly: "You mean the legendary Barshalom Roberts, one of the top ten caribbean pirate kings?"

　　 Clark laughed and said, "Yes, that's the pirate king. If other pirate kings can't go to the northern seas, then Roberts will definitely be able to reach those seas! Because this guy is the best pirate king!"

　　 Yang Jing is a little confused. Even though he is very proficient in antique literary play, he really doesn't understand the pirates who were active in the Caribbean in the 17th and 8th centuries. Oh, I can’t say that I don’t understand. At least Yang Jing knows that there are Captain Jack Sparrow and his Black Pearl in the Caribbean. He also knows Captain Barbossa, David Jones and his flying Dutchman.

　　 But these are the characters in the movie. Those real Pirates of the Caribbean in history, Yang Jing really doesn’t know much about him.
