Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 449: The back of the planet

In the face of the scholar’s ​​doubts, Zhang Yuan did not rush, and turned out another paper below, which explained the climate environment on the back of the planet from the perspective of ocean currents.

He drew a picture of the ocean currents of the planet with chalk on the blackboard: "If you stand in the atmosphere above the North Pole and look down on the entire planet, you can find the ocean currents of the entire planet rotating counterclockwise. You should know that we The warm currents of Boulder City flow from the west to the east. That is, from warm places to cold places."

"Affected by this warm current, our temperature here is warmer than the rest of the region."

Due to the uneven heating of the planet, the energy will spontaneously transfer from the hot area to the cold area. This is the law of thermodynamics.

This planet is locked by the tides by the stars, and the rotation period is equal to the revolution period, and it is not without rotation. With such a weak rotation, the deflection force of the geostrophic force, which causes the general trend of ocean currents and air currents, is still counterclockwise.

"What will this cause?"

Zhang Yuan drew a circle on the blackboard.

"At the other end of the planet, ocean currents flow from the east to the west. That is, from the cold zone to the warm zone."

"If a cold current encounters land, it will greatly reduce the temperature of this land."

"So, the climate on the back of the planet, theoretically, will be colder than this side. The temperature of the same longitude, the same latitude, and the light zone is expected to be about ten degrees lower than this end, that is The original 40 degrees Celsius became 30 degrees Celsius."

"What if we found a continent in the light zone?"

"There is light, there are continents, and the climate is right. It will become a new paradise for mankind!"

"As long as it exists, and we can...discover it!"

The ambitious third exploration begins again.

This time, even though it was justified, it frightened many people. Some people began to mock Zhang Yuan's whimsical again. Even many sailors in the family showed hesitation and fear. They were reluctant to participate in such activities.

Explore the world!

A feat that has never been seen in the world!

The global exploration of this world is far more difficult than the earth. Because the earth has a large continent, there are many points where you can go ashore for replenishment, but this world does not. There are islands in the entire world, which is equivalent to only a piece of Southeast Asian archipelago. There are no Eurasian continents, South America, North America, Australia, and Antarctica!

If you stay away from land for a long time, let alone the difficulty of supplying materials, everyone will feel a serious panic in their hearts over time.

Zhang Yuan also knows that this may be the last expedition in his life. He is in his 40s and his body is beginning to go downhill.

This may also be the last chance for the entire world.

He didn't force the sailors who were not willing to join the expedition within the family. In the entire Boulder City, there are young people who want to make a fortune and want to gain fame.

However, no one knows whether this expedition is a long march to victory or a road to death.

"If it fails this time, there will be nowhere to explore. Honestly stay at home for the elderly, haha!" Zhang Yuan turned his head and said with a smile to his sister Anna.

Yes, if it fails, the world can only do this.

People have no way to fight the whole world. It is also good to calm down honestly, develop some science, and develop productivity.

Of course, in the current environment, no matter how you develop, Zhang Yuan believes that it is impossible to break through the upper bound and will only die chronically... But it is better than no development.

"Goodbye uncle!"

Sister Anna is already a noble lady and mother of three children. : "You will also be great navigators in the future."

Although she still couldn't understand her brother's choice, she could only support it in the end.

"Goodbye!" All relatives and friends said goodbye on the shore.

Zhang Yuan embarked on the new ship "Victory"-with technological innovation, a faster steam-powered, schooner.

There are a total of 8 similar ships in the entire fleet. Zhang Yuan once again lost all the fortune he had earned over the years, and started his third expedition amidst people's discussion, blessing, worship, ridicule, and anticipation.

A historian wrote in his book: "Earl Hoffman, even if he did not discover any new continents, even if the third voyage still failed, it is enough to be remembered by history..."

"World, we need a continent, a continent full of light!"

"Let us discover it. In our world, many suffering people are still hungry. They are homeless and have no clothes to wear. Let us discover it..."

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and gave orders: "Yang Fan, set sail!"

The entire global expedition will go through the Arctic route to the other end of the planet. Five ships carry a population of 3,000. If it goes well, it will take 300 days. If it doesn’t go well, it may take 400 or even 500 days.

It must be a difficult journey.

A young sailor took the rope with both hands, raised the sail, and looked at the lights of Boulder City. He suddenly felt unwilling.

He asked the surrounding chief mate: "Rock, if we really discover the new continent on the back of the planet, what will happen? Will we get rich?"

"Sucky boy, I was here so early!" The first officer said with a grin: "Earl Lord doesn't even have such a certainty. But... you know what a new world means to us. Right?"

"What?"

He opened his hands as if embracing the future: "We will become the heroes of Boulder City! We will be remembered by history! Our name will be mentioned by mankind after a thousand years."

"Whether it is wealth or honor, we choose, if you want, you can even get a fief in the new world and become the owner of the manor! Of course, the premise is that we can survive and see the sun in the new world ...If there is a sun!"

"The sun, how beautiful. I don't know, have you ever seen the sun in the distance?"

"What if there is no New World?" the young sailor asked again.

"Is there no New World..." He frowned, and sighed: "In fact, it's nothing, it's equivalent to a long-distance voyage... The Lord Earl will naturally give you money~IndoMTL.com ~No one is missing."

"However, there is no New World..."

He turned his head and looked at a lit room on the upper deck. "The Lord Earl may be going bankrupt again. I really can’t imagine that there will be other people in the world who are willing to explore this dark and yet The huge world."

"What a hope, there is a new land..."

When I think of the long-term future sea life, everyone loses interest in talking.

Everyone has a trace of confusion, a trace of yearning, and... a trace of anxiety about the future.

The "Victory" whirred and left Boulder City with a slight weight. Everyone doesn't know what their future looks like. The priest on the ship started a very traditional prayer ceremony.

"May we not regret our choice today."
