1714 Sun in the North

"Head, can we go any further. [No pop-up window..]" A thin sailor on the "Seed" merchant ship sailing in the southern ocean suggested in a low voice.

"Why?" asked the captain of the Seed.

"Look. The sun. Did we go wrong?" The thin sailor pointed at the sun at this time.The captain looked up at the sun this time.

"What's the matter?" asked the captain.

"No." The captain quickly reacted after seeing the sun.

"The sun. Why is the sun behind us? It should be in front of us." The captain realized the problem at this time.

"Yes. Some time ago, the sun was still in front of us. These days, the sun has suddenly moved behind us. Did we go wrong?" the thin sailor asked at this time.

"This." The captain didn't know why.

"Go. Slender man, get the first mate here. I want to ask him what's going on?" The captain said worriedly at this time.The greatest difficulty in sailing is knowing where to go.If the direction is wrong, then they will be wrong as a whole.

"The sun is in the south. If this is the case, then the north is ahead of us. Let's go south." The captain thought to himself.

"Did we go wrong?" The captain was shocked.

"That's not right. We've been heading south. And there's nothing we've seen these days. If we come back, we won't be able to encounter this problem." The captain thought to himself.

"Captain, what's the matter?" The first mate quickly walked to the captain's side.

"Let's go in and talk. This is not a place to talk." The captain said politely.If the sailors knew they were going in the wrong direction, morale would drop a lot.In order to avoid such things from happening.So the captain and mate talked about it in private.

"How is it possible?" the first officer exclaimed.

"How could we be heading north? If that's the case, why don't we go back?" the chief mate shouted.

"Calm down," the captain said with a wave.

"Captain, you can look at the compass, our route is indeed heading north." The first officer said.

"I admit it. It's true." The captain looked at the compass and said.

"But, the sun, why is the sun behind us. If we go south. Why is the sun in the north. This... This is incredible." The captain couldn't explain the reason, so he waved his hand.

"Captain, it's not like the compass is wrong." The first mate looked at the captain and said.

"En. Take a few more compass needles to see, yes. Also, find a magnet. Let's make one ourselves." The captain said cautiously.About this question.He really couldn't figure it out.If the compass is really broken.Then they are really wrong.

The first officer left quickly.And the captain carefully checked the logbook and pondered the reason carefully.

Then the first mate brought more compass needles. The captain and first mate checked the compass needles carefully. All the compass needles were in the same direction. The compass needles showed that they were sailing south, but the sun, as the indicator The sun was behind them, that is, in the north.They really don't understand why.

"Captain, we are going to the south. You have seen the surrounding islands. We have never been here before. And the vegetation on them is different from what we have seen before." The first mate looked at the captain and said arrive.

"I know all of this, but the sun doesn't move. Why did you go to the north all of a sudden." At this moment, the captain was sure that they were indeed heading that way, because all the maps on the logbook were in the same direction. .That means they didn't make a mistake.No words in error.They can't be wrong.But the sun, why is the sun in the north.This really confuses the captain.

"Captain." The first mate looked at the captain, wanting the captain to continue explaining the situation.

"Well," said the captain.

"Let's see a few more islands. Then we'll go back. See what's going on," the captain said.

"En." The first officer nodded at this time.Actually.This is geographical knowledge, because most of the merchant ships in South Korea were located north of the equator and used the sun as a reference.However, as they went south.They crossed the equator.When they used the sun as a reference again, they suddenly found that the sun was in the north.In a society of agricultural civilization.The sun is motionless, unchanging.And the fact that the sun ran to the north all of a sudden made them at a loss.The captain and first mate only know a few geography knowledge, but they don't know much about the overall geography knowledge.Not just that.Although the people of Qin State knew some geographical knowledge, they could not prove the occurrence of this phenomenon.This also led to such a scene.

The South Korean Kuainu, which was sailing in the north, slowly drifted to an unknown place following the North Pacific Ocean Current.

"This kind of sailing is really comfortable." The captain said to the second officer.

"Yes, sir." The second officer said happily.The captain and the second mate were lying on the front deck basking in the sun, it was sunny here.Add in currents, and they don't know why.Even if they don't hoist their sails, they can still sail.They don't know about ocean currents, but they do know that as long as it's calm and calm.In this way, they can go directly to a place where they have never been before.

"Second officer, how long have we been sailing?" asked the captain.

"I don't know. Captain? I think it's been about half a month." The second mate said.

"That's right. Before, we always encountered some storms. Or something that didn't go well. I worry every day. Such good weather is really rare." The captain said comfortably.

"Yes, Captain. We should enjoy this moment," said the second mate.

"However, we are here, how long will it take to reach the land. If we can't find the land, our first officer will be very anxious." The captain said.

"Hi." The second officer saw the first officer coming up at this moment.

"Sir, would you like a drink?" the second officer asked with Qin Guo Liquor.

"No. I want to have a few words with the captain." The first mate said bluntly.

"Okay. Go ahead," said the captain.

"We are running out of supplies. There are three or four days of fresh water. There has been no rain these days. We need to find an island to replenish our fresh water. Otherwise, we can only drink our water." Speaking politely.

"Oh. I see. Don't we have wine?" said the captain to the mate.

"There, my mate," said the captain.

"Food, we can have some fish, fresh water, I'll figure it out. Be optimistic," said the captain.

"The other thing is that some of our people have some diseases. They need treatment." The first officer said worriedly.

"Well. I see." The captain nodded.

"Captain, I'm off to get busy," said the first mate.Then he left.

"Look. Lots of things," said the captain.

"Captain." The second officer looked at the captain and said.

"Do you think we've made the right voyage?" asked the captain.

"Yes, sir," said the second officer.

"Well. Very well said." The captain said.

"I believe we are right. It must be right," said the captain.

The Western Regions of Qin State.

"Damn it. These damned cavalry have appeared again." Major Bai, the supreme commander of the Little Rock Fortress, said looking at the enemy situation.
