圣诞节 On the eve of Christmas 1500, Amerigo finally returned with his expedition. Marin was very happy, held a grand ceremony to welcome the return of Amerigo, and immediately fulfilled his promise, seizing Amerigo as hereditary jazz, and rewarded 100 Eugram's arable land and manor.
美 Amerigo's current voyage data is very detailed, and it is located almost every other time to accurately record the route. Of course, because Columbus had long recorded the route to the Caribbean Sea, Amerigo just recorded the specific coordinates. After all, the sailing diary recorded by Columbus did not have accurate latitude and longitude. And Amerigo was “on demand” by Marin, and was also equipped with a sextant produced by Ada, which is naturally more convenient for recording.
Amerigo's main issue this time is the problem of recording the transatlantic route from the North American double islands to East Friesland. This route is actually very convenient to travel from Europe to North America. Because the ship can sail along the North Atlantic warm current. Moreover, during the voyage, it was basically in the westerly zone (30 to 60 degrees north latitude). Therefore, sailing from the North American Double Islands to East Friesland is a smooth journey. Had it not been for the Americans to slow down and record the coordinates in detail, they would have been back.
But in turn, from East Friesland to the North American double islands, then the sadness is extremely incomparable. It is simply upwind and difficult. Therefore, the historical "Mayflower" set off from Plymouth, England on September 6, 1620, and arrived at Cape Cohen on November 21, 1620, which took two and a half months.
However, when the Mayflower returned to Britain in the second year, it departed on April 5, 1621, and returned to England on May 6, which took only one month and one day.
Therefore, it takes less than half the time for sailing from North America to Europe to sail downwind from Europe to North America. This is the important characteristic of the sailing age-fast downwind and slow downwind.
因此 Therefore, when Columbus went to the Americas, he did not go west directly, but took the fleet south first, passed the 30th parallel of north latitude, first arrived in the Canary Islands, and entered the east wind belt. Then, continue south and follow the Canary Cold Current to reach the northern equatorial warm current, then follow the east wind and the north equatorial warm current flowing westward, all the way westward along the river. When returning to the sea, first sail from the north of the Windward Islands to the northeast, reach 30 degrees north latitude, and then return to Spain along the west wind.
Amerigo stayed in the North American double islands for a long time and inspected the North American East Coast for a while. In addition, he could not stop slowing down to determine the coordinates, so it took him two or three months to return to East Friesland from the North Island of North America. However, now that he has an accurate record, it will be faster to return to Europe from the double islands of North America on the next voyage.
For the coordinates and route map recorded by Amerigo, Marin was listed as one of East Frisian's top secrets, and made Amerigo swear not to disclose, or accept severe sanctions.
Amerigo made stops on Newfoundland and Cape Breton on the way home, landed for inspections, and drew maps.
To Marin's surprise, after landing in a fine harbor on Cape Breton Island, Amerigo found a coal mine inland some distance from the harbor ...
Marin recognized the map of Cape Breton through the map painted by Amerigo, and guided that the harbor where Amerigo landed was Sydney, Canada ...
Yes, Sydney, Canada. When Marin searched the encyclopedia, he searched for Sydney, and two Sydney came out. So Marin was impressed by this Canadian Sydney and also remembered the map of Cape Breton Island.
This coal mine found by Amerigo is obviously a coal mine near Sydney, Canada (a mining area near North Sydney, just by the sea). Strictly speaking, this is a coal mine very close to the sea, ideal for colonial applications. Moreover, it is an open-pit coal mine, and mining is simple. As a result, Sydney, Canada, became a steel center as early as the 19th century. Because there are so many local coals ...
Marin almost forgot this, but unexpectedly, Amerigo occasionally passed Cape Breton Island, not only found the Sydney Bay, but also found the Sydney Mining Area of North Sydney (SydneyMines, easy to find on satellite maps, 51240 Google Maps) coal is simply a surprise.
Of course, Marin is not saying that he wants to bring North Sydney coal back to Europe for use. That would cost too much. After all, from North America to Europe, the road is long and costly. This era is not the era of the next generation of diesel-powered super freighters. The size of a sailing boat is far less than that of a subsequent freighter, and the larger the boat, the lower the transportation cost. Therefore, it is not economical to ship coal back to Europe, and it is better to import it from Britain.
However, North American coal can be used locally!
做 什么 What do you do with it? Paper and shipbuilding!
Before long, Marin had thought of using North American forest resources to make paper and using logs as a source of pulp. However, this requires the use of a sealed high-pressure vessel and the addition of sodium sulfate or caustic soda for simmering. This requires a lot of fuel.
Originally, Marin intended to directly use the leftovers of felled wood (such as dead branches and leaves) as fuel. However, the calorific value of dead branches and leaves is not high, and cooking pulp needs fierce fire. Therefore, using coal is the better choice.
Nowadays, with coal, everyone is naturally happy. Moreover, with coal, Marin can also use the high-temperature steam from a coal stove to soften the wood during the shipbuilding process and process it into boat ribs.
In short, with coal, the problem of fuel is no longer an issue. As for the dead branches and leaves left by cutting down the trees and the bark, can they be used as firewood for ordinary people. For industrial production, coal from Cape Breton Island is used.
To be honest, Cape Breton Island has a coal mine, which is a very good development base. However, it also has major flaws.
This is because Cape Breton Island is relatively north and the climate is cold. Therefore, there are many coniferous forests in the cold temperate zone, and few broad-leaved forests.
The oak trees that Marin needs most, on high-latitude islands such as Cape Breton Island, have a small proportion. The most coniferous trees on the island are birch and pine. But birch, pine and other conifers have poor corrosion resistance and are not suitable for shipbuilding.
Therefore, although Cape Breton Island has coal mines, it is not suitable as a shipbuilding base. However, the coniferous wood is used for papermaking without any problems.
Therefore, after much reflection, Marin finally made up his mind to open a base on Cape Breton Island, mainly used for coal mining and papermaking. Of course, nearby land can also be used for sheep.
考察 America Gordon ’s Island has been visited. There are very few Indians here, and the danger of occupying the island is very small ...
It's no wonder that Indian Natives are backward civilizations, after all, still in the hunting and primitive agricultural stages. However, Cape Breton Island is not suitable for growing food because of its high latitude. And because of the cold winter, hunting is also troublesome.
Anyway, there are many people in the North American continent in this era. Indians have no need to trap themselves here, and they can move south to the future American land. After all, the further south, the more animals there are, and the better it is for growing crops.
So it is very convenient to occupy Cape Breton Island, not afraid of being besieged by the Indians. Unlike the coastal areas of the later United States, because of the warm climate and fertile land, there are many Indians. When the British were colonized in Virginia in the 17th century, they were often besieged by Indians, causing many people to starve to death. If it were not for the Indians to break through the fortified castle, the British colonists would have been slaughtered many times.
He decided to colonize Grenada, North America and Cape Breton, and Marin began to write a report, preparing to report the three colonies to the Spanish royal family to ensure legality.
In fact, Marin was also reluctant to give Spain this face ~ www.novelhall.com ~ However, Spain's access to the Americas was, after all, approved by the Holy See. If you do not greet the Spanish royal family, occupying these three places will not only attract dissatisfaction between the Holy See and Spain, but also give a bad head to other European countries and cause other countries to follow suit.
Therefore, Marin still counted these three colonies as one of the 15 colonies in accordance with the rules and reported them to the Spanish royal family to show their legitimacy.
Moreover, in order to continue to win the two great navigators of Columbus and Amerigo, Marin decided to change the names of the two North American islands to the names of the two great navigators.
For example, Nantucket Island was named Amerigo Island by Marin. And Martha's Vineyard was named Columbus.
After hearing the news, Amerigo was very happy and ran over to Shane. After all, in addition to pursuing interests, these big navigators also care about their fame.
Name an island after its own name, that's the most glorious thing. You know, life is limited, but the name of the island can last forever. Marin's move simply made the two famous. That is, Columbus is still in India. If he knows that an island is named after him, he will be very happy.
As for Grenada and Cape Breton, Marin has no plans to change his name. Some men suggested that Marin named Cape Breton Island Marin Island, but Marin did not agree. It wasn't that he didn't want to use his own name, but that Marin didn't look at the broken island at all. To name it, you have to name your own prosperous area like New York in the future. Cape Breton Island is a sub-frigid island, and agriculture cannot be achieved, so it is doomed to fail. Isn't it blind to name your own island? Still find a place where I can develop and name it with my own name ...
