The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 39 Ship Model

"Take the fairy out to sober up." Sun Shao waved his hand to Dunwu and Shuai Zeng, who were stunned, turned his head and smiled at Ge Heng as if nothing had happened, "Sizhen, I'm afraid the fairy will wake up for a while. Why don't you take me to visit your masterpiece?"

Ge Heng nodded with a smile: "It's my wish. Sun Jun, please."

Ge Heng's home is very messy. Although Ge Heng has cleaned it up, he still can't get his feet. There are materials, tools and unfinished models everywhere. There are no wall panels on the earthen wall. It is bare. There is a hole in the wall, and there is an oil lamp in it. The wall above the oil lamp is darkened. It seems that Ge Heng often goes to work at night. On a long chopping board, there are some newly finished wood and some tools that Sun Shao can't name. On a bookshelf against the wall, there are few rolls of bamboo slips, but a lot of models are placed.

As soon as Sun Shao saw these models, he immediately forgot all the things he had just seen. He rushed on them impatiently and almost wanted to grab them in his arms. These models are so beautiful that they are completely different from Ge Heng's messy room. They are not only polished very smoothly, but also well maintained. Sun Shao picked up a unicycle and found that the wheels of the car could be turned around. Except that the size was so small that it could be placed on the palm of the hand, everything else was the like a real car.

"Sun Jun, come this way. This is Hun Tianyi." Ge Heng shouted in the inner room.

Sun Shao reluctantly put down the model in his hand and got into the inner room. Only then did he find that this was Ge Heng's bedroom, but there were countless models in it except for a bed.

Sun Shao carefully checked Ge Heng's favorite Hun Tianyi, but unfortunately, except that he felt a little similar to the Hun Tianyi of later generations, he could not see any fame. He only saw one circle after another, and there was a ball on each circle, which probably represented a star or something.

"Sun Jun, look from here, this is the saying, this is the moon, this is the purple star, this is the fluorescent planet..." Ge Heng explained to Sun Shao in detail. Sun Shao gathered in the small tube of the observation hole and looked at Ge Heng's work, and suddenly understood. When Ge Heng finished speaking, he rubbed his sore waist and stood up. He smiled insincerely and said, "Si is so good at craftsmanship."

Ge Heng was a little disappointed. He explained for a long time, but Sun Shao just said that he was good at craftsmanship, and obviously he was a little insincere. Didn't he look down on his Hun Tianyi? This is his painstaking work. Even Yu, a high-ranking person in Jiangdong Xueyi, was full of praise. Why did Sun Shao not think so? Probably... he still doesn't understand, does he? With this idea, when Ge Heng looked at Sun Shao again, his hot eyes were a little pale.

Although Sun Shao didn't look at Ge Heng, he kept paying attention to his expression with Yu Guang. Seeing that the smile on his face was a little faint and the corners of his mouth were tilted with disdain, he roughly guessed some. He meditated for a moment and looked up at Ge Heng solemnly: "Sizhen, since you can make Hun Tianyi, you must have something about the I Ching. It's studied."

Ge Heng raised his head slightly and showed a trace of arrogance unnaturally: "I dare not. I just asked Yu Zhongxiang, Lu Gongxu and other gentlemen for some advice, but I didn't dare to study."

Sun Shao nodded: "Then you should at least know the phrase 'the road is simple', right?"

When Ge Heng saw that he said something serious, he was a little surprised. He looked at Sun Shao: "Sun Jun has worked hard on the Book of Changes?"

Sun Shaolian shook his head repeatedly: "I don't understand the Book of Changes. I just heard people say this sentence. I want to ask if it's true. Do you think the Book of Changes has this sentence?"

In fact, Sun Shao's sentence is really wrong. "The road to simplicity" is not the words of the Book of Changes, but the words of the Book of Yi. However, Ge Heng recognized what he meant and did not correct his mistakes. Instead, he was silent for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Sun Jun means that my Hun Tianyi is too complicated."

"Hey hey hey..." Sun Shao smiled inexplicably and raised his hand to stroke a piece of wood chips on Ge Heng's shoulder: "Si Zhen is really smart, just a little bit. To be honest, although I don't like the I Ching very much, I agree with this sentence very much. The truth in the world is not complicated. The simpler it is, the closer it is to the truth. Those who talk about it are actually far away from the truth. The law of man is heaven, the law of heaven, and the law of heaven is natural.

Ge Heng was speechless. He turned around and stared at Hun Tianyi without blinking. He looked focused and did not answer Sun Shao for a long time, as if he had forgotten that there was Sun Shao in the room. Sun Shao didn't care. He estimated that Ge Heng probably realized something, so he turned around and looked at some models on the bookshelf. To be honest, although the Huntian instrument in this year looks exquisite and can be consistent with some celestial observations, they are all centered on the earth, and it is natural to make it complicated. Compared with Hun Tianyi, he is more interested in the model ships made by Ge Heng.

There is a row of cabinets along the wall of the bedroom, with more than a dozen models on it, most of which are ship models. There are three or four-story building boats, and there are also covered boats. Sun Shao was very interested in these. Whether it was him in his previous life or the former master before crossing, he knew that the reason why Jiangdong could compete with the Central Plains was because of the strong sailors. In the Three Kingdoms, the sailors of Dongwu were not only the heroes in the Three Kingdoms, but also in the world. At this time, he had the ability to sail offshore. It is said that Sun Quan later sent people to Taiwan. As a time traveler, although Sun Shao is in a worrying situation, he does not rule out that he occasionally dreams back at midnight and wants to dominate the storm. What he is most looking forward to is not the unification of the Central Plains, but more to conquer the outer barbarians, and even take a huge fleet to the Mediterranean Sea to make close contact with Rome, another giant of the world, and bring forward the history of Chinese navigation for another thousand years.

Ge Heng stared at Hun Tianyi. Sun Shao was absorbed in looking at the ship models. From time to time, he picked them up and studied them carefully. Sometimes he nodded and sometimes shook his head. Neither of them spoke. The room was quiet, and even Ge Heng's slightly heavy breathing could be heard.

Outside the house, Dunwu and Shuai Zeng guarded Ge Xuan, who was snoring loudly, and looked at each other with a wry smile. Dunwu looked at his involuntarily trembling hand and was secretly afraid. He never thought that one day he would put his finger into Ge Xuan's throat like a fairy to help him vomit. This is a fairy. If he wakes up and blame him, won't he be unable to eat? The young master was so bold that he actually got a fairy drunk and then treated him so awkwardly.

"Qin... Wait a moment for the fairy to wake up. Don't say that I scratched his throat." Dunwu swallowed his saliva, looked at Shuai Zeng, who had just stared up, and said with a smile.

Shuai Zeng snorted, covered his nose with his hand, and looked at Ge Xuan, who was full of filth on his chest with some disgust. He was drunk like a dead pig, and said disdainfully, "What fairy, I think he is an old liar. Seeing that he is so sloppy and has wounds on his face, he was probably cheated and found, so he fled to Wu County."

Dunwu breathed a long sigh of relief. Since Shuai Zeng said that he was an old liar, it was much more serious than scratching his throat. At this time, he felt the sour smell of Ge Xuan's vomit on his body. He smelled his hand again. He immediately frowned and stretched his hand far away and muttered, "Sister Qin, you are guarding here. I'll wash my hands. It really stinks."

"C vertical, you don't keep your word." Shuai became more angry and jumped up with a kick. Dunwu had been prepared for a long time. He flashed over and ran away laughing.
