Asmin, who has never even asked Hangzhou for help, is extremely sensitive and wary of this kind of thing and tendency. This time, for the first time, she asked Wu Meiniang for a wave of technical talents, specifically to ensure the smoothness of this trip.
success……
Of course, this rare request did not go smoothly, because Wu Meiniang's experienced boatmen and skilled craftsmen have recently been in short supply.
However, after all, Asmin rarely asks for help...or rather, she doesn't ask for help at all on weekdays. Wu Meiniang attaches great importance to this trait, and...
Considering that the young master did not say anything, but from the information he got from various channels in Hangzhou City, it should be said that Datang is obviously going to make a big move this time. As for the content of the move itself, that is
It's not something that I have to worry about. Wu Meiniang has always had a clear self-positioning. In short...
After settling the matter of the ship, the rest...
With the young master here, Datang will never suffer any loss.
…
For Wu Meiniang, Li Sheng has always had such a simple and solid belief.
And to put it bluntly, the same is true for many other people in the Tang Dynasty.
Such as Asmin.
Although the route had to be changed several times along the way due to summer, in order to avoid the storm.
And to avoid the storm, the fleet changed its lane, and this ship... the ship changed its lane, and this is ancient times, not modern times. There is no satellite positioning device that can find its own longitude and latitude by lighting up the screen. What should I do?
Of course, getting lost at sea is not a problem. After all, I still have Li Sheng's sextant on hand. Nowadays, the ships going out to sea - no matter which sea ships, merchant ships, imperial warships, or even pirates' ships, the leader is the leader.
Or shipowners, they have basically learned to use the sextant. The sextant itself was originally a quite complex instrument, but due to the advent of the sea trade tide, it has become more and more difficult to use.
In China alone, there are countless workshops to make this thing...that's right, workshops, not factories.
In this era, factories - no matter what kind of factory - are still similar to Apple in later generations. They may not have the most cutting-edge technology, but they are definitely powerful players.
But today, most of the sextant manufacturers on the market are not factories that look "suitable" for them, but various small workshops, various...copper and iron shops.
These small workshops are often far from being called real factories, but the sextants they produce are actually pretty good...
After all, it all comes down to interests.
This is the beauty and wonder of life. As long as there is demand, there will always be supply, no matter how strange, incredible, or even indescribable the demand is. However, the traditional blacksmith shop has not really changed due to the emergence of steel mills.
All of them were eliminated, and many of them were transferred to the factory production order and became craftsmen and even engineers, but...
China is a world of huge size and extremely unfathomable depth of thought. There are still all kinds of incredible industries and even industrial chains in many invisible places.
Even among copper and iron shops, "A certain sextant is more powerful" has become a brand-like thing. The reason is very simple. If you can build sextants with extremely high precision requirements, then
This means that the craftsmanship of this copper and iron shop must be quite excellent!
Of course, there is usually a certain gap between the products produced by copper and iron shops compared to those produced by factories. There are also very few particularly powerful sword craftsmen and big bosses who have produced famous swords. On the one hand, they disdain to enter the steelmaking factory to produce mass-produced items.
But occasionally, you can produce "high-end" products that are better than factory products.
The sextant used on Asmin's ship is just such a high-end handicraft, but...
It's just due to the limitations of the times. Even the most top-notch handmade products are bound to have errors... This is still an aspect of the equipment itself. If you also take into account the impact of weather and human errors, the observation readings of the sextant and
The calculation results will be even less trustworthy.
This is the reason why Li Er was so entangled but also looking forward to sending the Forbidden Army to sail on sea ships to explore America, because sailing... is also difficult!
If one is not careful, Asmin is not a god, and she will be buried in the belly of a fish and disappear forever.
Due to the change of route to avoid the storm, and the difficulty of getting back on track after changing the route, the voyage was seriously delayed.
This is summer after all.
Fortunately, after some turmoil, Asmin and her fleet finally arrived in Africa.
This vast, vast land!
As soon as they arrived at the place, Asmin, who had already made a plan in her mind, immediately started to build the camp walls.
Asmin has not forgotten why she came here!
The military operations of the Tang Dynasty, the strange and unpredictable situation in Africa, the huge and brightly colored poisonous insects, which are far larger than the large beasts in other areas, the environment here is as complex and dangerous as the Tianzhu subcontinent.
This dangerous and complex place was also the target of Datang's next stage of management.
In addition to the complexity of Africa itself, the sailing experience along the way also clearly told everyone that sailing in this season is very difficult...
Not only is the destination dangerous, but the sea route is also difficult to navigate.
But... Asmin knew that this was exactly why she had to be energetic.
Although she was not informed of the imperial court's strategic intentions - of course. But Asmin still keenly guessed that this must be a very important strategic deployment, otherwise...
The sea route in summer is the most dangerous. You know it, but don’t the emperor of the empire and the sages in his cabinet know that?
As for, we want to further speculate on this strategic deployment... and the final strategic goal.
Asmin didn't need to think too hard, but she could vaguely guess that... it must be the most magnificent and the most shocking great undertaking.
It is a blessing to be able to participate in such a great cause. But...
Being able to participate is one thing. On the other hand...
He must also gain the favor of the empire as much as possible, accumulate his own connections, and experience his own strength, so that he can bring these blessings to his fellow Persians, in...
After the climax of this great cause, they survived and continued to multiply.
have to say……
Now, Asmin has been out in the sea for several years. The young girl in the past has now become a charming and heroic girl. Although she has not had many major achievements, Asmin's name is also many in the sea.
It spread to some extent, and after arriving in Africa, it was concluded that this place was not completely barren, and there were still people from the Tang Dynasty coming and going.
