Chapter 150 The Use of Agility Attribute (please vote for more)
Before going to Dongao Island, Su Ze was busy in the family temple every day with a mirror grinding tool.
Bronze mirrors were still used in the Ming Dynasty. To reflect clear figures, bronze mirrors needed to be polished repeatedly.
The person who does this job is called a mirror grinder, and there is also an old man in Changningwei who is responsible for grinding mirrors.
Su Ze borrowed mirror-grinding tools from the old man and was busy studying hygiene all day long.
Lin Liangjun watched Su Ze polishing two pieces of crystal stone with a mirror grinding tool, and couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Aze, this is the best colored glaze. How did you polish it like this?"
These two pieces of natural crystal It is the collection of Eunuch Hu. Su Ze spent money to buy it from Eunuch Hu.
Lin Liangjun had never seen such transparent and flawless glass. It looked very expensive at first glance, but Su Ze took the mirror grinding tool and polished it, turning the good glass into strange discs.
What Su Ze is making is naturally a telescope.
China has a long history of firing glass, but flawless white glass still had to wait until the mid-Qing Dynasty to appear.
The glass fired in the Ming Dynasty preferred colored glass such as colored glaze.
People in the Ming Dynasty were very enthusiastic about colored glaze, but Su Ze didn't have time to do it now. Since artificial glass was not transparent enough, he had to look for natural glass.
Fortunately, Su Ze found a piece of flawless white natural glass in Eunuch Hu's collection.
Su Ze carefully polished the glass lens. What he wanted to make was a copper tube monocular telescope. In the timeline before he traveled through time, such a telescope was made by Galileo decades later.
In fact, the principle of the telescope is not complicated. The formula for calculating the curvature of glass is also in Su Ze's mind. The only troublesome thing is the process of polishing the glass.
It took Su Ze up to 10 points of strength to polish this natural crystal into two lenses, and it took him two days.
After polishing the surface of the lens until it was transparent again, Su Ze took out the prepared copper tube and carefully put the lens in it.
"Brother Aze, what is this?"
Su Ze installed the lens and oiled the telescopic copper tube, and then said with satisfaction: "Clairvoyance."
"Clairvoyance? Brother Aze, don't lie to me, clairvoyance It's from the story."
Su Ze walked out of the family temple, adjusted the distance of the telescope, and looked at the Hundred Household Center in the center of the guardhouse.
He handed the telescope to Lin Liangjun and said, "Hold it carefully."
Lin Liangjun picked up the telescope and saw clearly his window sill. He exclaimed, "It's really clairvoyance!"
Su Ze snatched the telescope away. , for fear of being broken by Lin Liangjun, he put the telescope into the deerskin bag he made by himself, and asked Lin Liangjun: "Brother Aze, are you really an immortal?" Su Ze glanced at
him and said. : "Let you study hard. This is not a magical skill, but a method of studying things to gain knowledge."
Lin Liangjun asked doubtfully: "You haven't taught me this before!"
Su Ze said: "Do you remember what I said? The phenomenon of 'refraction'?"
Lin Liangjun nodded, Su Ze was writing new textbooks recently, and would also try to teach them some interesting physical and chemical experiments.
Refraction was also a course that impressed Lin Liangjun. Su Ze used the refraction of light to explain why chopsticks look bent in water.
"This clairvoyance is to use the refraction of light to magnify distant objects."
Su Ze briefly explained the principle of the telescope and said:
"I have told you before that studying objects to gain knowledge can not only be used to turn stones into gold, but can also be used in battles. To kill the enemy, this telescope is a big weapon on the battlefield, and the principle is just an easy-to-understand principle like refraction." The principle
of the telescope is naturally not that simple, but Su Ze just wanted to enlighten Lin Liangjun's thoughts, so he deliberately so.
"But it's not enough to just know the principles. After you know the Tao, you have to learn the techniques. These are the uses of arithmetic." "Have you completed the arithmetic
homework assigned last time?"
When it came to the homework, Lin Liangjun immediately ran away with his head in his hands. Kai: "It's done, it's done! I will bring it tomorrow!"
Just when Lin Liangjun was pestering Su Ze to play with the telescope, Lin Mojun came to the family temple.
"We have agreed with the Crooked Hoof people that we will take their boat to Dong'ao Island today."
Su Ze put away the telescope and said to Lin Mojun: "Then when will we set off?" "
Depart in the afternoon, two days We can get there later, Mr. Su, I can do it alone."
Su Ze said, "No, I made the plan. I want to see Dong'ao Island in person."
Lin Mojun also knew that he could not convince Su Ze, so he had to Said: "Although I have rescued these crooked-hoofed people and have great kindness to them, these people are people from outside the maritime domain. They are unruly and have many encounters with Japanese pirates. You must be careful when boarding the ship and you must not offend them." Taboo."
Su Ze nodded. Sailing at sea is inherently risky, and there are many taboos among crew members.
Not to mention that the Crooked Hooves, a race that lives on boats, are naturally very superstitious.
Lin Liangjun on the side said: "Brother, sir, you have created clairvoyance!"
Su Ze handed the telescope to Lin Mojun and said: "This is clairvoyance. I call it a telescope, it can see things in the distance clearly.
" Mo Jun picked up the telescope and quickly saw the windows of Baihusuo clearly under Su Ze's guidance.
Lin Mojun was even more shocked than Lin Liangjun showed.
Having been sailing at sea for many years, she knows the role of a lookout hand best.
A good lookout is the eyes of the ship. Whether it is to detect the enemy or search for land and islands, the lookout is required to have a pair of good eyes.
But such a talent is rare. Lin Mojun once heard an old helmsman say that the lookout on his father's boat could clearly see seagulls a hundred meters away and could always spot the enemy before other lookouts.
But Su Ze's telescope can turn any ordinary person into a super lookout, so that he can observe the enemy's situation from a long distance.
"Such an artifact! It can be used not only in naval battles, but also in land battles!"
Lin Mojun became excited, thinking about how easy it would be to be able to observe every corner of the battlefield when fighting.
Su Ze shook his head and said: "Although this thing is wonderful, the principle is very simple. If it spreads among the people, someone will soon imitate it."
In fact, the difficulty of making a telescope is not high. Even if you don't know the principle, you can imitate it.
Su Ze didn't want the things he invented to become weapons in the hands of the enemy.
Lin Mojun thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Smuggling is serious in coastal areas, and some armors and weapons of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers may be sent to the Japanese pirates.
Even Yanpingwei used to smuggle gunpowder to Japanese pirates.
A telescope, a strategic artifact, can be purchased with thousands of dollars. Money and silk attract people's hearts, let alone businessmen. Even if some guards get telescopes, there are still people who are willing to sell them to Japanese pirates for money.
Lin Mojun gave up the idea of donating the telescope, and Su Ze was secretly happy. After his unremitting efforts to pry the Ming Dynasty into a corner, Lin Mojun, a general who was once very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, gradually began to become disloyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Putting away the telescope, Su Ze said: "With this thing, we don't need to go to Dong'ao Island, and we can also observe their coastal defenses."
Lin Mojun was overjoyed again. This way, we don't need to risk landing on the island, but only You need to be on the Crooked Hoof Man's ship to see the deer king's defenses clearly.
In the afternoon, the crooked boat arrived as promised.
Strictly speaking, this is not a ship, but a fleet of many ships connected by ropes.
The boats of these crooked people were all flat-bottomed sea boats, and there were all kinds of boats. Su Ze saw ordinary fishing boats, some small Western merchant ships, and some were even flat-bottomed river boats.
This group of fleets does not have any sense of majesty, but instead looks like a pile of garbage floating on the sea.
These ships have not been properly maintained for a long time, and a lot of wood has become rotten and dilapidated. They have only been repaired casually. Su Ze feels that it is a miracle that they can sail on the sea.
When the "fleet" of the Quho people docked, Su Ze had the opportunity to take a look at this nation wandering on the sea.
Their skin is very dark, the result of long-term exposure to the sea.
On the whole, they are still yellow people, but they have some Mongolian facial features, such as their cheekbones are higher and their faces are wider.
They wear black or gray robes, and the style is indeed different from that of the Ming Dynasty. The most obvious thing is that their fronts are turned to the left. This is called Zuo Ren. According to the Han people, it is the way of dressing of the Yi and Di people.
Sure enough, there is some truth in saying that these people with crooked hoofs are descendants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
In addition to sticking to the left lapel, they also wear a black headscarf.
The leader of this crooked hoof group was an old lady on crutches. After her cloudy eyes glanced at Lin Mojun, she looked at Su Ze again, stretched out a finger and said, "Only one person can board the ship."
" Repo, you owe me a favor."
The leader of the Crooked Hoof people named Repo chatted with the people around him, and Su Ze who was standing aside had heard their words clearly.
The passive talent of [Language Genius] allowed Su Ze to recognize that this was a branch dialect of Mongolian.
No wonder these crooked-hoofed people would rather drift on the sea than live ashore.
The Ming Dynasty's attitude toward foreign races also changed many times. In the early Ming Dynasty, it basically recognized the status of the Yuan Dynasty.
After the Tumubao Incident, the topic of the Hua-Yi debate was brought up again and became the mainstream ideology of society.
Coupled with the years of Japanese rebellion, there has been a consensus on the issue of the debate between China and Yi, and the government generally discriminates and excludes Yi and Di.
This attitude will naturally affect these foreign ethnic groups. For example, the "She tribe", a foreign ethnic group in Fujian, launched many rebellions and was often suppressed by the Ming army.
These foreign races often refused to accept the Ming Dynasty's unified household system, so in the eyes of the government, they were not considered "citizens" with status. After the rebellion, they were often massacred, and the conflicts between the two sides became increasingly fierce.
There is also this reason why these crooked people refuse to go ashore.
Su Ze felt relieved when he heard that the Crooked Hoof leader named Repo was discussing with her tribesmen whether bringing another Su Ze would be discovered by the Japanese.
This shows that these crooked people are not selling themselves to Japanese pirates.
Su Ze leaned close to Lin Mojun's ear and translated the Crooked Hoof Man's comments to her
. Lin Mojun was already used to it. She probably wouldn't be surprised if one day Su Ze could understand animal language.
Repo discussed for a long time, and finally said to Lin Mojun: "He can get on the boat, but he is not allowed to move on the boat."
Repo threw two pieces of clothes to Lin Mojun and Su Ze: "Put on your clothes and get on the boat."
Lin Mojun was wearing single clothes, so he had to take off his original clothes to change clothes.
Su Ze saw Lin Mojun's embarrassment, helped her out and said, "Baihu, go over there and change."
Then Su Ze quickly took off his clothes. At this time, Su Ze's strength attribute had reached 10 points. Taking off his clothes reveals the strong muscle lines of his upper body.
The women on the Crooked Hoof people's boat shouted loudly. These foreign races on the sea were indeed fierce in their folk customs. Some women even winked at Su Ze and whistled.
Why is this guy so strong?
Lin Mojun also saw Su Ze's muscles. He usually wore Confucian shirts, but Lin Mojun didn't even notice that Su Ze was in such good health.
Lin Mojun's face suddenly turned red, and she ran to a distance and changed her clothes.
Su Ze's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Mojun put on the costume of a crooked hoof man.
The clothes of the Quho people are more slim-fitting than the clothes of the Han people. Lin Mojun is tall and looks more exotic when he wears them.
Su Ze took his eyes away from Lin Mojun and boarded the Crooked Hoof Man's ship with her.
vomit.
Su Ze overestimated his health. Ever since he got on the boat, he had been holding on to the side of the boat and vomiting.
The boat of the Crooked Hoofers was inherently unstable. Su Ze had never been on a sea-going boat before and after his journey. After boarding the boat, his stomach turned upside down.
Lin Mojun patted him on the back and said with a smile: "I thought Mr. Su was so proficient in naval warfare that he must be an expert in sailing, but I didn't expect it." Lin Mojun suppressed his laughter, and
Su Ze had already vomited and felt uncomfortable all over his body. , he said: "You can laugh if you want."
Su Ze also regretted why he insisted on getting on the boat.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that seasickness seemed to be a problem with the balance system, and this ability seemed to be related to the attribute [agility]?
Seeing that his agility attribute was as low as 4 points, Su Ze gritted his teeth and invested a little free attribute in it.
"Agility attribute: 4 upgraded to 5."
An indescribable feeling poured into Su Ze's body. He felt that the dizziness in front of his eyes disappeared a little. The feeling of stepping on cotton with his feet since boarding the ship disappeared. Some.
The feeling of vomiting and discomfort also disappeared a little. Su Ze stood up holding the side of the boat and felt much better.
Agility is related to body coordination skills such as balance and jumping.
It turns out that this is how the agility attribute is used!
After your agility attribute is high, will you be able to fly over walls and walls like in the movies?
It's probably impossible to fly over a cliff, but maybe it's possible to jump off a ship like Pirates of the Caribbean by swinging on a sling?
Su Ze once again invested some free attributes, and the agility attribute was increased to 6 points.
After reaching 6 o'clock, Su Ze was able to stand firmly on the boat, and the dizziness and vomiting were all gone.
Seeing Su Ze who recovered instantly, Lin Mojun was full of doubts. She had also seen many people who were seasick. Those who vomited and vomited on the boat and lay down for several days before adapting.
What kind of monster is this Su Ze, and why did he adapt so quickly?
What's even more outrageous is that just now this guy couldn't stand firmly while holding on to the side of the ship. How could he be on the deck so quickly?
Extra update, there will be more in the evening
