"I had the honor to meet Mr. Jin once in the East China Sea. I didn't know who you were at the time. Later, when I chatted with the inmates in Heishuigou, I found out that Mr. Jin is the most powerful person in the world!" The tall foreign pirate flattered him.
.
Jin Feng's reputation in Sichuan and Sichuan was so great that the bandits imprisoned in Heishuigou talked about Jin Feng's stories every day. The two foreign pirates listened to it every day, and their ears were almost calloused.
It was also through the descriptions of the bandits that the pirates knew that the scholar they met in the East China Sea was Jin Feng.
Of course, many of the bandits scolded Jin Feng, but these two pirates were very thoughtful and would definitely not speak ill of Jin Feng in front of him.
Pirates are also arrogant and arrogant outlaws. When they were first captured, these two pirates were a bit stubborn, but after being imprisoned with the same arrogant and arrogant bandits for such a long time, they have long been subdued and have learned to flatter.
, it can be said that the desire to survive is full.
"Okay, don't say nice things. I didn't ask you to come here just to hear nice things from you."
Jin Feng had no good impression of pirates and asked directly: "Who are you? Where did you come from?"
"Who are we? Where do we come from?" The two pirates looked at each other, with strange expressions on their faces.
"Jin Xiansen, who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going? These are very profound questions. Those knowledgeable philosophers have been arguing for thousands of years and still haven't figured it out, let alone us."
The tall pirate said with a grimace: "Although we have read a little bit of books, our knowledge is not comparable to those of philosophers, so we can't answer it!"
After hearing this, Jin Feng couldn't laugh or cry.
The other party completely misunderstood what he meant.
Not to mention in this world, even in Jin Feng's previous life, these are also the three ultimate propositions of philosophy, and no one can answer them.
If it weren't for the frightened expressions on these two people's faces, Jin Feng would have thought they were just trying to be humorous.
"I asked you what your name is and which country you are from!"
"So this is what Xian Sen asked!"
The two pirates breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The tall pirate said: "My name is Smith, his name is Andrew, and we are from Silya."
"Xirya Kingdom?" Jin Feng was stunned.
Long-distance voyages require high technology and huge financial support, which are difficult for small countries to complete independently.
For example, Sichuan and Sichuan have paid a lot of money to build the Taiping. For a while, the steel plant almost suspended all other businesses, and many departments also focused on this project for several months.
Since the two of them were able to come to Dakang, it means that the country supporting them should not be weak in national strength.
Although Jin Feng's geography in his previous life was not particularly good, he still knew about most countries in the world. Even if he didn't know them well, he should have at least heard their names.
But in his memory, the name Xirya Country did not exist at all.
However, Jin Feng was not too entangled. After all, the histories of the two worlds were completely different. In his previous life, there was no Dakang dynasty in the Chinese civilization.
So Jin Feng changed the question: "What is the name of the continent you are on? What are its characteristics? By the way, you should have a nautical chart. How many can you remember? Show me the drawing!"
When Iron Hammer who was standing by heard this, he quickly took out a stack of manuscript paper and pencils and placed them in front of the two pirates.
Then he threatened fiercely: "Draw carefully. If you make a mistake in your drawing, or if you draw casually to fool my husband, I will chop off your hand!"
The two pirates were also beaten by bandits in Heishui Gorge recently. They were frightened when they heard this. The tall pirate begged for mercy with a sad face: "Mr. Jinsen, it's not that we don't want to draw, but you also know that sea charts are very important things."
, we are just working sailors on the ship, we can’t see them at all!”
"Have you really never seen a chart?"

"I swear in the name of my mother, I really have never seen it!"
The two pirates made strange gestures and swore.
It is true that ordinary sailors have no access to nautical charts, so Jin Feng changed his question: "Have you ever seen an ocean that glows with red light?"
Hearing Jin Feng ask this, the expressions of the two pirates became excited: "Sir, do you also know about the Red Sea?"
"It turns out that in this world, the Red Sea is still called the Red Sea." Jin Feng thought to himself, but nodded calmly on his face: "Of course I know about the Red Sea, how did you know?"
"We came from the Red Sea!" the tall pirate replied.
"Did you come from the Red Sea?" Jin Feng couldn't help but be surprised after hearing this.
The Red Sea is located in a narrow strip of land between northeastern Africa and western Arabia. To the north is the famous Suez Canal, which connects to the Mediterranean Sea, and to the south is the equally famous Gulf of Aden, which leads to the Arabian Sea.
Because the cliffs on both sides of the strait, especially those along the African coast, are red and are reflected by the sun, sometimes making the sea water red. In addition, red seaweed occasionally appears seasonally, so it is called the Red Sea.
But the Suez Canal was only built in the late Age of Discovery.
Before the emergence of the Suez Canal, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea were not connected. If you wanted to get from Europe to Asia, you had to go around the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of Africa.
Later, in order to reduce detours, European colonists built the Suez Canal based on the ancient canal.
After the Suez Canal was opened to navigation, the distance from Europe to Asia was greatly shortened.
The Suez Canal is more than 100 kilometers long. Even with the foundation of the ancient canal, this is still a very huge project.
According to Jin Feng's guess, the pirates most likely came from the Cape of Good Hope, but who knew that the other party actually said they came from the Red Sea.
"Have you already dug through the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea?" Jin Feng asked.
"Mediterranean Sea?" The two pirates were stunned again.
This was the first time they heard this name, and they had no idea where Jin Feng was talking about.
"Forget it," Jin Feng waved his hand: "Hammer, go get the world map!"
When the Ninth Princess saw this, she frowned slightly.
In her eyes, the world map is the top secret among top secrets. How could such important information be shown to pirates?
The Ninth Princess subconsciously wanted to stop Jin Feng, but then gave up.
Anyway, they are two pirates. After Jin Feng finishes asking questions, he will just kill them, so as not to worry about them leaking the secret.
In fact, Iron Hammer thought the same way, so he was very happy when he took the map. He entered the inner room and opened Jin Feng's file box, took out the world map, and spread it on the table.
When the two pirates saw the map, their faces turned pale at the same time.
They had lied just now. In fact, they had seen the chart, but they had only glanced at it a few times when they passed by the captain's cabin and had no chance to look at it carefully.
Although they couldn't see it clearly, they could tell that the map they saw in the captain's cabin was completely incomparable to the map in front of them.
Can they still survive after seeing this kind of map?
