Chapter 165

He boasted that he had read the Divine Book thoroughly and knew everything in the human world.

As a result...

He couldn't even answer the two questions given by the deity!

Like this.

What face did he have to request to see the deity?

Don't know how much time passed.

Yan slowly stood up and left the Divine Temple staggeringly.

Imperial palace.

Yan left the Divine Temple in low spirits and returned here.

The first thing he did was to bring out that huge world map.

The land of the Great Yan Kingdom was in the center.

Surrounded by the vast ocean.

And the boundaries of the ocean...

According to what the long-voyage fleet explored, it was indeed pentagonal!

But this answer he gave...

0

Was obviously wrong.

And.

It seemed a bit absurdly wrong.

"Where exactly did the problem go wrong?"

He sat blankly in front of the world map, staring at it without blinking.

Outside the land.

Thousands of islands had been noted.

Connected to each other.

And corresponded to the maps of other fleets.

There was no discrepancy.

So...

This map should be correct!

"But the deity said the earth is not this shape... doesn't that mean the world boundary drawn on the map is not the real boundary?"

He stood up abruptly and realized it instantly!

"Are there more world boundaries than this?"

He widened his eyes.

And fell into confusion again.

In the later years of navigation exploration, the islands explored by the long-voyage fleets were almost all repeats!

No more new islands were discovered!

If the world still had boundaries.

Then where were the boundaries?

He frowned and fell into long contemplation.

A full night passed.

The next morning.

He stood up abruptly, his tired eyes flashing with light: "No matter where the world boundary is, as long as I insist on sailing in one direction, I will eventually reach the boundary of the world!"

After a night of thinking.

He gradually figured it out.

Those fleets sailing the ocean were all following his orders to explore new islands.

Therefore...

The direction was not fixed.

They might have wandered around randomly and lost their way.

So they never explored the real boundary!

Thinking of this.

He immediately convened the morning court.

And issued an edict: "Pass the order to immediately organize a long-voyage fleet; this time, do not search for islands, only explore the boundaries!"

"This fleet will set sail from the east coast and head straight east; do not turn back until the boundary is reached!"

"Named, Explorer!"

The twenty-second year of the Great Yan Calendar.

The fleet named Explorer was successfully formed.

The whole fleet had twelve large steamships, carrying over five hundred people in total!

The Explorer set off from the east coast of the Great Yan Kingdom, following the footsteps of the rising sun, heading east all the way!

And Yan...

Waited quietly in the imperial palace for news.

Above the endless ocean.

Qin Mu saw the Explorer set off, heading east all the way.

Nodded slightly.

"The system's deduction was really not wrong; this Yan... is very suitable for developing a technological civilization."

The spirit of exploration is extremely sufficient.

And very smart.

Only one day passed.

Yan found a way to explore the boundaries of the world.

"Just don't know what Yan's reaction will be when he sees the Explorer returning from the west coast..."

Qin Mu curled his lips, revealing a smile.

The Blue Star is a sphere.

As long as you keep sailing in a straight line...

You can definitely return to the starting point!

The twenty-third year of the Great Yan Calendar.

It had been a year since the Explorer set off.

Yan waited for news of the Explorer every day.

But...

Since the Explorer sailed east, there had been no news.

There was no trace.

Therefore.

Every day after handling state affairs, he would order people to go to the east coast to check the situation.

Once the Explorer was seen returning, report it immediately.
