Chapter 868: Physics Against Common Sense

On the Dragon Palace on the Sea, Jiang Wei was lying in the bedroom, fast asleep.

His eyebrows trembled from time to time, and under the eyelids, the eyeballs were also rolling.

Apparently, he is now in the "rapid eye movement" stage, which is the so-called "dream".

In the dream, he was holding candles in the bridal chamber. Wei Qing's subordinate Wei Wei named Chen Song had a young daughter who was waiting in the boudoir. After hearing that Jiang Wei was not yet married, he entrusted Wei Qing to be a matchmaker. At Wei Qing's request, Jiang Wei met the woman.

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the atmosphere of marriage was relatively free.

When the two met, Jiang Wei actually thought it was a good idea.

After getting along for a while, Jiang Wei was conquered by this gentle woman.

Then, everything went incredibly fast.

All of a sudden, the wedding ceremony was over.

I immediately liked being a father.

Suddenly became the father of two children.

Wait, this car is too fast!I want to get off!
Jiang Wei felt that he was on a rampaging train, the speed was too fast to stop, and the doors were welded dead, leaving him no time to think about it.

Sometimes, Jiang Wei felt like he was watching everything happen from the sidelines. He couldn't control the direction of the story, just like a bystander.

But this is my life!

What's wrong with me!
Jiang Wei accidentally woke up, but was soon dragged into that dream again, unable to extricate himself.

Time goes by.

Following Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's expeditions several times, Jiang Wei has made great contributions and was named a servant.

In the northwest direction, the Huns were defeated and basically calmed down, and they were no longer able to disturb the border.

But in the southeast, the Nanyue Kingdom was in chaos.

On this day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned the army, sent troops to the southeast, and made an expedition to the Nanyue Kingdom!

Because of his outstanding military achievements, Jiang Wei, the Marquis of Cong Piao, was appointed as General Fubo and went south to attack Nanyue.

Jiang Wei bid farewell to his wife and two children and headed south!
……

in another room.

Gu Xiaobai lay on the bed and slept for a long time.

Then suddenly opened his eyes.

strangeness……

He clearly planned to complete the mission, why wasn't he pulled into the mission by the system?

He took out his mobile phone, and saw the display on the mobile phone: "The Maritime Silk Road mission is in progress."

in progress?
System, are you stupid?

I'm still here, what mission are you doing?
Gu Xiaobai lay on the bed, wondering for a while whether he should continue to sleep or not.

Going back to sleep doesn't seem to help...

"This useless system is always unreliable when you need it..."

Obviously, he needs the ability to "manipulate water flow" rewarded by the "Maritime Silk Road" mission right now.

This system always loses the chain at critical moments.

Sure enough, I can't rely on this guy, I have to find a way by myself!

At this moment, Gu Xiaobai heard someone knocking on his door.

Wang Guanshan's anxious voice came from outside: "Xiaobai! Xiaobai! It's not good! The wind direction has changed!"

The wind direction has changed?

Gu Xiaobai frowned, then listened attentively.

Sure enough, the sound of the wind was wrong, and the wind was against the wind!
Seeing Gu Xiaobai coming out of the room, Wang Guanshan grabbed him and said, "Xiaobai, the headwind is coming, what should we do? What should we do!"

Wang Guanshan has also seen big scenes.

Previously, following Gu Xiaobai, he even broke through the interior of the typhoon "Moby Dick".

But at this time, he was still panicked.

No way, if the "Sea Dragon Palace" fails to arrive in Semarang on time, all their previous efforts will be in vain.

Gu Xiaobai turned his head and looked out of the window, and saw that all the opened "sails" of the "Sea Dragon Palace" had been retracted, and now the entire huge Sea Dragon Palace has returned to the stadium appearance of a wave.

Gu Xiaobai can feel that the "Sea Dragon Palace" is not stationary now, it is actually on the sea, being blown backwards by the wind.

Although the speed is only about two or three kilometers per hour, it is indeed retreating.

In the square outside, many people were whispering.

Some are construction workers responsible for post-construction work on the "Sea Dragon Palace".

Some are various collaborating experimenters who do experiments.

And there are some musicians who rehearse and compete in the "Sea Dragon Palace".

Others are fine, after all, whether the "Sea Dragon Palace" can reach Semarang has nothing to do with them.

But most of the musicians looked worried and anxious.

Could it be that their job is going to be ruined like this!
If the "Sea Dragon Palace" can't reach Semarang on time, what will they do?
Will it be unemployed?
Gu Xiaobai also frowned deeply.

His gaze swept across the closed "spray", and his brain was running at high speed.

"noob?"

Gu Xiaobai waved his hand to signal Wang Guanshan not to speak.

But at this time, how could Wang Guanshan not speak, he said: "Xiaobai, otherwise you will take the musicians to Southeast Asia on the Zhongjun..."

"Hush!" Gu Xiaobai stopped Wang Guanshan's next words, and stayed there for another 5 minutes.

Wang Guanshan was really anxious, he stood in front of Gu Xiaobai scratching his ears, but he didn't dare to disturb Gu Xiaobai's thinking.

Gu Xiaobai's eyes blinked, drops of sweat trickled down his forehead, and his face turned red visibly.

A large amount of blood poured into his head and brain, and his whole body was sweating profusely.

Finally, Gu Xiaobai seemed to have completed some calculations in his mind, and grabbed Wang Guanshan: "Go, go to the bridge!"

Wang Guanshan hurriedly followed behind, he asked while running: "Xiaobai, what are you doing on the bridge now?"

As Gu Xiaobai strode forward, he asked Wang Guanshan, "Uncle Shan, let me ask you, is the sailboat faster with the wind or against the wind?"

"Of course it's downwind." Wang Guanshan replied without thinking.

During this period of time, Wang Guanshan was in Zheng He's fleet, as the deputy envoy Wang Jinghong, commanding the fleet all day long, considering the wind direction every day, and adjusting the direction of travel has become instinctive.

"Wrong." Gu Xiaobai denied Wang Guanshan's words.

"Could it be that the headwind is faster?" Wang Guanshan felt that Gu Xiaobai must be stupid.

how can that be!

How to sail against the wind!
There is an idiom in China called "Bon voyage", isn't it just wishing others smooth sailing and fast sailing?

If you go against the wind all the way, are you afraid you will die of exhaustion?

Thinking that his fleet might encounter headwinds, Wang Guanshan would lose a lot of hair.

"Ordinary sailboats are naturally designed to be faster with the wind." Gu Xiaobai explained, "For sailboats, with the same aspect ratio and shape, the longer the waterline, the higher the upper limit of the sailboat speed, so the ancient The bigger the sailing boat, the higher the speed limit..."

Wang Guanshan knew this. In many cases, in order to maintain the overall speed, the oversized treasure ship could not be fully sailed.

"But in this case, the wind speed is the upper limit of the sailboat's speed... But there is another way to make the sailboat's speed reach several times the wind speed!"

"How is it possible!" Wang Guanshan shook his head: "I don't study much, don't lie to me!"

I also studied physics!
The wind speed is so fast, how can the sailboat be faster than the wind speed!
This is impossible!
