Reborn As a Pirate
Chapter 703
On July 7, 1788, Lorraine returned to Miami.
Just after tea, he took a carriage around a village and stopped at Daniel''s Soland village.
Sauland manor is very different from other manors. There are no leisure and entertainment facilities such as gardening, horse farm, lake tour and church.
There is a hospital here, a real hospital, which specializes in trauma. It is larger than the two largest hospitals in Miami. It can treat 57 people at most. Most of the time, the utilization rate of hospital beds exceeds 50%.
There is a mass hall here. The mass hall is a church facility much rarer than the chapel. Only when the dead appear in the hospital will the priest come here to comfort the father in heaven and the father on earth, load the car and send it away and find his mother.
There is a slaughterhouse here. Because the field first aid course of the University of Miami does not provide practical operation and anatomy, Daniel often brings his students here to teach them "don''t be afraid of blood and scream" in the interpretation of horror films.
There is also a wisdom palace, which is the main building of the whole solandezhuang, including medicine field, alchemy experiment hall, astronomical observation hall and library.
When he didn''t go to sea, Soland spent most of his time randomly living in the library and the study of the alchemy laboratory. However, Lorraine''s purpose today is not there, but in the hemispherical astronomical observation hall located on the highland.
Dating back to 1779, Lorraine obtained a large number of authoritative data on the fountain of youth through his premature sea taking operation. Only then did Daniel start his research on the keepsake of the pirate king at the Jackdaw Manor on Little Cayman Island.
It is said that Henry Morgan buried his treasure worth millions of pounds in the fountain of youth, and drew the direction of the fountain of youth on parchment, which was divided into 22 parts.
21 copies correspond to 7 pirate kings, and the last and most core one is retained in the Morgan family, waiting for the emergence of the second unified seven kings.
However, no one knows whether the legend is true or false.
Because even the most successful pirate bafromius after Morgan, the black Baron bafromius I, he collected only 18 keepsakes, and there was no information to doubt that he was related to the fountain of youth.
Now Lorraine also has 18 keepsakes.
To get back to business, when Daniel started the keepsake research, Lorraine had only five left pictures, and only two were connected, and the rest were scattered and independent single pieces.
In order to cooperate with Daniel''s research, Lorraine invited three cartographers from the Netherlands to study the broken pictures at his own expense.
The result is very strange. Judging from the visible points, lines and patterns, the map left by Henry Morgan is the closest to the offshore map, but there is no data of any sea area that can correspond to it one by one.
Lorraine et al. Suspected that the generation difference of cartographic level led to the significant deformation of scattered charts.
This situation was very common between 1650 and 1750. The famous Calais Strait in the history of cartography retreated and sank by nearly 70 kilometers in a hundred years. In fact, there was no change in geography. What was upgraded was the technology of Surveying and mapping.
Only Daniel has a different opinion.
He believes that these chaotic points, lines and surfaces are a confusing means of multi graph encryption.
There may be several pictures on the pirate king''s Keepsake at the same time. They may be all true, or only one is true. The true picture points to the direction of the fountain of youth, and the false picture is all graffiti and misleading.
Considering that Henry Morgan had never received higher education in his life, even after he was rich, it was still difficult to get access to the top experts and scholars at that time, Daniel believed that the elements that formed the final map... Those real and false maps should not be deceptive.
Because map deception is a very advanced technology, as a Bachelor of the Royal alchemy society and the highest ranking elite of the Drake chamber of Commerce in the scientific community, he is qualified to say this.
Scientists are activists.
Daniel took action, carried Lorraine on his back, and decomposed the points, lines and surfaces on the chart in a way of arrangement and combination. Finally, in 1780, he found two constellations with a similarity of more than 80% with the real sky and real position among the broken layers that only adopted points.
So far, the secret of Morgan''s treasure has been revealed. They have two options: A, severely deformed chart; B. A hundred years ago.
Since then, Drake chamber of Commerce has set up special funds to support astronomers in the new world, including David Rittenhouse. Drake has successively funded 16 astronomers affiliated to the philosophy society in these eight years, with a total cost of more than 5000 pounds. Five of them have obtained research results of concern, and three have become professors of astronomy and navigation at the University of Miami.
David Rittenhouse is one of the three and the most accomplished of all.
This kind of investment is inefficient in essence. There are too few keepsakes and too many blank maps. The research on Morgan''s treasure was at an impasse for a long time. Until 1786, Lorraine successively obtained the keepsake of the black prince in the Grand Bahamas and collected another seven in waijuster.
The number of keepsakes he mastered suddenly reached 15, which made him lock 9 constellations and 17 high brightness stars, and officially excluded the option of chart.
Everything is progressing smoothly. Solving Henry Morgan''s puzzle seems to be a certainty and can be achieved at any time.
Thinking of this, Lorraine pushed open the gate of Tianmen hall.
There are six white coats in the planetarium, scattered around a large telescope three meters long. The museum is filled with bookshelves and display boards. Opposite the telescope, there is also a two meter long and wide super large star map inlaid behind the glass.
This is a 100% restored and enlarged version of the star map layer in the pirate king''s keepsake. The stars and constellations locked in recent years have been specially marked with special colors for comparison with other stars.
Lorraine saw David Rittenhouse and was arguing with Daniel about something.
Lorraine walked over curiously, watched for a long time, listened for a while, and finally couldn''t help saying, "Dear Professor Rittenhouse, I thought you had gone to New York."
Rittenhouse found Lorraine pestling behind him and shrugged helplessly: "it''s my job to decipher the keepsake of Blackbeard, Mr. chairman, not the mint Committee in New York."
Lorraine rolled his eyes. "I hope you haven''t forgotten that you will become the first director of the American mint. In the mint Committee, the director is generally regarded as the second person."
"Who cares what kind of person it is!" Rittenhouse grinned his big yellow teeth. "Currency issuance is an economic problem, casting is a technical problem. I am only responsible for technical problems, as for economy... Obviously, every gentleman there is much more professional than me."
"However, the most important reason why you were chosen is that you are not professional." Lorraine laughed and laughed. "Professor, when you take office, including becoming the president of the bank in the future, you will find that your colleagues will often quarrel."
"Quarrel? Like me and Professor Soland?"
"Just like you and Daniel, quarrel." Lorraine nodded. "Remember, you don''t need to hurry to make a statement. When the quarrel is over, they will lobby you, and you just need to decide who to help according to your first feeling, and you will become a competent director and president."
Rittenhouse raised his eyebrows: "you said I should stand in line according to my heart, not Mr. chuck Parker?"
"You need neutrality," Lorraine replied seriously. "The more neutral you are, the more secure our money will be. Never forget that you are free. No one, including chuck, can command you."
"Aha... I suddenly began to look forward to New York."
"I promise, she deserves your expectation."
Lorraine clapped his hands.
"Well, Daniel, and professors, let me listen to your harvest and see what discoveries the 18 keepsakes have brought us. It''s worth asking Professor Rittenhouse to pigeon America..."
