Chapter 284 Globe
Since the beginning of winter, these days have become more and more leisurely.
After playing mahjong alone, this novel and fun game immediately aroused everyone's interest. Yu Wuya was originally disdainful at first, but after understanding the rules, he saw Chen Xu, Wang Wu and others playing mahjong happily. Then he stopped studying chess and played mahjong with them all day long. However, although this guy is good at chess, his head is a little short-circuited when playing mahjong, and he almost never won. He kept losing and losing, but he was still happy.
It would be boring to play mahjong without water, but except for Chen Xu himself, he had no money. Yu Wuya wouldn't say that he had no money. Wang Wu and Wang Qi and four other guards didn't bring much money. After a few days of fighting, Chen Xu won it. Then Chen Xu asked the poor workers to earn money, add firewood to the earthen kang, feed horses, remove feces, clean up, clean dishes, etc., and pay wages according to the difficulty of the task. The salary is in the hands of Shui Qingrou. This is both an entertainment and a punishment. Someone must do these things that are cold and cold. Anyway, it is so painful to be idle.
However, this kind of money-making activity has attracted everyone's enthusiasm to participate, so I have done the work and played mahjong. The whole room is full of fun and enjoyment every day. Even Shui Qingrou and Chen Jiang would occasionally participate in the entertainment.
"Dashi will play a few cards for me!" Chen Xu felt a little urinating and wanted to go to the bathroom after eating the lollipop.
"Hey, okay!" Niu Dashi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately sat down happily.
After peeing, he came out of the toilet and looked at the heavy snow and the white mountains and fields. Chen Xu stood in the snow and stood up to the sky for a long time.
Half a year has passed since I was hit and killed. I wonder how my parents and mothers in later generations are doing now? Do they still remember their sons? Do they know that their son’s soul is not dead and has traveled through time and space to Daqin?
After this cold winter it is spring.
If you guessed correctly, Qin Shihuang would start his parade again.
Moreover, even without Xu Fu's participation, Qin Shihuang still knew about the overseas sacred mountain. The process of arranging alchemists to go out to sea to find the elixir of immortality did not seem to have changed.
This is an opportunity. Do you have to make some preparations in advance to see him?
Although Qinghe Town is good, as Jiangbeiting said, it is too small. If you want to change the fate of the Qin Dynasty, you must go to Xianyang to meet Qin Shihuang, who is known as the emperor of the ages.
And when he went there, Chen Xu felt confident.
The method of refining steel has basically been successful, and gunpowder has been initially developed. Although it can only reach the level of combustion of ordinary firework gunpowder due to impurities and production problems, as long as you continue to study, it is no problem to make black gunpowder that has the power of explosion. However, due to the limited output of sulfur and nitrate, the quantity will definitely not be too large.
Chen Xu walked into the laboratory, spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to slowly draw a world map that he could remember roughly. On the table, there was a large wooden ball that looked extremely round and polished with wood. The longitude and latitude were drawn with thin red lines, but the land and the ocean had not been drawn yet.
Chen Xu was concentrating on his work, and half an hour passed in neglect.
"Cruff~"
The door was gently pushed open, and the water gently held a cup of steaming tea and placed it on the workbench, "Chen Lang, drink some hot tea and rest for a while!"
Chen Xu put down his brush, turned his head to wrap his head around the soft waist, and smiled and said, "I'm not tired, I'm playing all day long! I'm afraid that if I continue like this every day, my ambitions will be wiped out!"
Shui Qingrou hugged Chen Xu's neck, sat on his legs, leaned her head in his arms, looked at the map marked with Asia, Europe and America on the paper and said curiously: "What is Chen Lang drawing? It looks like a map!"
"This is a map, and it is the whole world we live in!" Chen Xu pointed to a place marked on the easternmost part of Asia and said, "Look, our Qin Dynasty is here now. To the east is the sea. Two thousand miles away from the sea, there is an island called Yingzhou. To the north is the place where the Huns gather, and to the north is called Siberia. There are other barbarians there. However, for half a year, it is a snowy climate, and the area is vast and sparsely populated. If you continue to go north, you will reach the North Pole of the earth, where there is an ice ocean.
All year round, almost all the ice armor is covered. And in that place, during the day and night for half a year, you can sometimes see beautiful aurora, connecting the sky and the earth like an extremely magnificent rainbow. From the Siberian continent, there is a strait, and the narrowest place is less than a hundred miles. If the weather is sunny, you can pass by one day and one night. Opposite the strait is the American continent, also called Dongsheng Shenzhou. In fact, there are also records in the Shanhai Sutra, but because I don’t know who wrote the Shanhai Sutra, the recorded situation is vague, and I can’t correspond to one.”
"Chen Lang, the Shanhai Sutra is not vague, but it is just too long. Since ancient times, many wars and changes have occurred in the world, so we cannot see the records clearly. The Shanhai Sutra, a mountain called Buzhou Mountain, is written in the West Mountain Sutra, and the Great Wilderness West Sutra also records the Buzhou Mountain. Liegong also wrote about the Buzhou Mountain in his handwriting. Chen Lang waited, and I will take the Shanhai Sutra and I copied the Shanhai Sutra and you will know it when you look!"
Shui Qingrou stood up and left the laboratory. After a few minutes, she returned. She had a curl of old yellow and black bamboo rolls and several book books in her hand.
"Chen Lang, this is the handwritten handwriting left to us by Master Lie!"
Shui Gentou carefully placed the bamboo slips on the table and untied the hemp rope on the top and gently pulled it apart, revealing the two red seal scripts at the beginning. After all, it was unfolded, pointing to one of the curved seal characters, saying: "The sky and the earth are also things. Things have shortcomings, so the Nuwa used to refine five-color stones to make up for the gap; the turtle was enough to establish the four poles. Later, Gonggong and Zhuanxu fought for emperor, and they were angry and touched the mountain of Buzhou, broke the sky pillar, and died. Therefore, the sky was tilted northwest, and the sun, moon and stars were there; the earth was not in the southeast, so all rivers and water returned to the slums."
Although Chen Xu didn't know the name, he understood this passage.
This is the story of the ancient legend of the CCP’s corpses hitting Buzhou Mountain.
"Duke Lie and Master have studied the Mountain and Sea Classic countless times, trying to find the legendary myths from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors periods. According to comparison, Lie Gong believes that the world where we live now has undergone tremendous changes with the ancient books such as Shan and Sea Classic that record ancient terrain and landforms. Among them, Gonggong's collision with Buzhou Mountain was the biggest destruction and change. Master once said that Buzhou Mountain is the only road to the human world to the heaven, west of Kunlun."
Shui gently opened a book with the Western Classic of the Great Wilderness and pointed to one of the paragraphs and said: "Overseas in the northwest, in the corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain but it is not in harmony, and it is called Buzhou. Therefore, the master speculated that the reason why this mountain was called Buzhou Mountain was because the mountain was a bit incomplete and had begun to split and incomplete. As a result, it was completely collapsed by the Gonggong clan. In other words, Buzhou Mountain should have been an intact mountain earlier, leading directly to the heaven from the human world, but later it was slowly damaged. It was not until Gonggong clan and Zhuanxu fought for the throne that they bumped into this mountain in anger, and then completely cut off the roads between the heaven and the human world. Later generations could no longer find a way to the heaven..."
Chen Xu:...
The myth of Gonggong's anger at the strife of Buzhou Mountain is almost well-known in later generations.
There have been many people in history studying the Shanhai Jing, and Liezi is one of them.
But Buzhou Mountain should have existed earlier without written records. According to the legend of ancient mythology, Buzhou Mountain should have originated from the great god Pangu.
After the Pangu family opened up the world, they died of energy. The body turned into plains, the bones turned into mountains and rivers, the blood turned into rivers, and the hair turned into grasslands and forests. But what did Buzhou Mountain turn into? Chen Xu thought for a long time and secretly looked at his crotch!
"The pillar of heaven is broken, the earth is closed, the sky is tilted northwest and the earth is sinking southeast. The huge change caused floods to sweep across Jiuzhou. Therefore, it is reasonable that our current Jiuzhou geography and the geography recorded in the Shanhai Jing cannot correspond to it one by one. It is said that most of Jiuzhou have been flooded by surging floods. This is not only speculation by Lie Gong and Master, but also Zou Yan, the master of the Yin-Yang School, once made the same guess. And the master said that the two had discussed and communicated carefully and in-depth about this matter!" Shui Qingrou said softly while looking through the Shanhai Jing she copied.
According to later generations' understanding of the earth, the record of Shanhai Jing is completely unreliable, because the earth is a sphere and is not the way the sky and the place that ancient people conjecture.
However, with the continuous development of human science, in fact, what is the world where the earth is, even scientists themselves are still arguing about it. Because the emergence of quantum theory may allow humans on earth to come into contact with the high-dimensional universe. Whether the earth is round or a huge question mark from the perspective of high-dimensionality, because in four-dimensional space, shapes are not fixed and are in motion and change at all times. The concept of shapes is seen differently in different dimensions. For example, the sphere seen in three-dimensional space is projected in two-dimensional space, it is a flat circle, projected in one-dimensional space, it is a line, and projected in zero dimension, it is just a point.
Therefore, after the development of cosmic science, Shanhai Jing, something that was slowly abandoned by history, has gradually been taken out to study it. Does Shanhai Jing describe the geography on the earth seen in later generations, or the geography in the eyes of the gods and demons in myths?
The circular earth floating in the universe, under high latitude observation, people know what shape it is.
What is most incredible is that none of the animals recorded in the Shanhai Jing is normal, either bird-headed and human-headed or hydra-headed. Even the ancient demon gods such as Gonggong, Xing Tian, Xiangliu, Chiyou, Yushi, and Feng Bo are similar to normal humans, with long horns, long wings, long tails, eyes, mouths and belly. Even the ancestor of China, Emperor Yan, had two horns.
According to the theory of earth evolution and biological evolution in later generations, this is completely impossible, because dinosaur fossils tens of millions of years ago and trilobite fossils hundreds of millions of years ago can be excavated on the earth, but only these monsters have never been excavated.
But ancient people have recorded it with confidence, and it is not only in China, but also in foreign countries. The famous Sphinx is the most typical one, because it is the body of a lion and the head of a human?
Therefore, the seemingly absurd records of Shanhai Jing cannot be fully explained based on the so-called scientific theories in later generations and cannot be explained completely.
If you want to fool Qin Shihuang in the future, one of the easiest ways is to hit Egypt, let him see the pyramid he described, and dig out the Sphinx from the desert to show him, telling him that since the collapse of Mount Buzhou, humans have no chance of immortality, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dispersed, and the gods and immortals have died of thirst in the desert.
To achieve this goal, at least we must arrange a large army to fight along the Hexi Corridor to Central Asia, and from Arabia to Egypt.
However, there is a powerful empire between Greece and the Qin Empire, called the Silent Empire, which controls the vast area between Iran and Afghanistan. If you want to go, you will first get this Silent Empire. But even after that, it will not be easy to do, because the Mediterranean coast should still be under the rule of the Macedonian Empire, and the Roman Empire is also infiltrating Greece. The two sides broke out in Asia Minor. The time happened to be the time for the Qin Dynasty to conquer Baiyue and expel the Huns. At this time, the army will pass, and the most cruel war between the four empires on the earth will break out in Central Asia.
The Qin Dynasty was on an expedition, and the terrain was not familiar with each other, and the time, place and people were not harmonious, so the ending was very unpredictable.
Because at this time, both the Abnormal Empire and the Roman Empire were all top-notch and powerful empires, and their strength was not worse than that of the Qin State. In terms of weapons and equipment, the Roman Empire was even stronger, and their mathematical geometry and metal smelting were stronger than that of the Qin State.
But it is even more difficult to get through if you go late, because the Huns have begun to have the prototype of a regime. In the second year after Qin Shihuang's death, the Huns killed Donghu and Yuezhi under the rule of Maodun Shanyu, ruled the entire Central Asia region, forming what later generations called the Hun Han Kingdom, and then continued to raid the Central Plains and almost trapped Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, to death in Baideng City.
Therefore, China wants to eliminate the hidden danger of the Huns, and now it is the best time. Unfortunately, Qin Shihuang spent too long on conquering Baiyue, which ultimately failed to successfully kill the Huns. In addition, the Chu-Han War over the next ten years, after the civil strife quelled the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Huns also took this opportunity to become bigger and became a stubborn enemy that could not be defeated.
As the saying goes, it is better to act first, but then to act.
The sooner the Xiongnu, the better, so the fewer enemies will be encountered when the Qin Empire expands to West Asia on land.
Chen Xu thoughtfully used a brush to draw several small triangles on the narrowest part of the Mediterranean, near the coast of Africa.
"Chen Lang, what does this mark mean?" Shui Qingrou was puzzled.
"There is an empire called Egypt here. Their ancestors were a sphinx god. Their kings called him Pharaohs. These Pharaohs had a very strange hobby, which was that they liked to design their tombs into pointed cones on all sides, so they were also called pyramids..." Chen Xu gently explained the pyramids with water in his arms.
"Chen Lang, are these all you see in the Jiuzhou Yizhi? It's so strange. The tomb is a sharp cone with a human face and a lion's body!" Shui Qingrou asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'm also surprised. It would be great if I could go and see it! Unfortunately, it's too far away, and there are all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the road. I have to cross the snow-capped mountains and plateaus, and I have to wade through the rivers and the quicksand desert." Chen Xu said with a smile.
"As long as Chen Lang wants to go, I will accompany you. You can bear any hardships and hardships!" Shui Qingrou felt someone sneaking into the clothes with one hand and rubbing them gently. His cheeks suddenly flushed and spring water began to flow in his eyes.
Chen Xu looked back at the laboratory door by a silence, and could still hear the crackling sound of playing mahjong.
"Puchi~" Shui Qingrou couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.
A trace of beauty dissipated, and Chen Xu also calmed down and picked up the quill pen and dipped it ink. Compared with the map drawn on the paper, he carefully began to draw the first globe in human history on the big wooden ball, and at the same time he also told the historical stories he remembered to Shuing Qingrou.
