Lingao Qiming Chapter 378 Li Siya’s Return
Dr. Zhong's timing/timekeeping plan for Lingao is to use these carefully maintained backup clocks as the Yaobao Observatory's reference clock. 【Read the latest chapter】┗#_网. Use the observation time of the star instrument every day to compare. When it is found that there is a large error in the time measured by the clock and the celestial instrument, the clock time will be changed. Combining the two provides a long-term accuracy of 10^-8.
He silently took down a board clip hanging on the wall. When it is impossible to use Yaowen time for correction, the base time is Greenwich Mean Time brought by 1ri time and space. Dr. Zhong recorded the time of other timepieces at zero o'clock in Greenwich, took out the quartz clock he brought with him from his pocket, and checked it carefully.
"Father, here is..."
"Xiaoying, you are in a confidential place in the Senate now." Dr. Zhong said in a very serious voice, "Unless I agree with you to tell everything here, you will not be able to tell a word to outsiders until you die. , understand? Otherwise, you will die without a burial place - even my father can't save you."
Zhong Xiaoying was horrified, and quickly knelt down and said: "My daughter knows, and my daughter swears to Yao that she will never reveal a single word of this to Yao without her father's approval! Otherwise, Yao will be killed!"
Zhong Lishi nodded. For a girl like Zhong Xiaoying, talking about the "Senate Secrecy Regulations" is not as realistic as swearing an oath. He said: "Get up! Come here now, my father will teach you and me the secret of timing of the Australian sages..."
In Anping Port, there are many ships moored ready to sail. Most of them are Cantonese ships and Fuzhou ships of different sizes, and there are also a few Western-style sailing ships. There are many sails and masts in the harbor.
In an unobtrusive corner of the pier, an inconspicuous medium-sized ship was moored. The ship had a deep waterline and seemed to be filled with cargo and waiting to set sail.
The sailors were scattered on the deck in twos and threes, looking very leisurely. Below the ship's deck, a secret meeting is taking place.
The dark, smelly hold below deck had been vacated and contained two chairs. On one of them sat a young woman, wrapped in a black cloak, with a hood covering her head, making her face almost submerged in darkness. I could only tell from the sound of her voice that she was a young woman.
Sitting opposite her was a man also wearing a cloak. From the small amount of light coming in through the hatch, it can be seen that although his face is covered with dirt, he is not very old. He seemed to be equally afraid of being recognized, so he covered his face with a corner of his cloak. "I have a job to give you. Listen carefully," the man said.
"I'm all ears." The woman said, "A big fortune ship transporting immigrants to Taiwan is moored under the Anping Fort. This ship will set sail to Bengang early tomorrow morning."
"So I must go to that boat tonight?"
"Leave immediately, which means you have to leave as long as you agree. This ship will unload the cargo in the evening, and part of the cargo will be transferred to that ship - you take the opportunity of unloading to get off the ship."
"Okay, now you talk about the mission you want to give me."
"Your mission is simple: turn the Netherlands and Australia into enemies - a sword fight."
"The simpler the task, the more difficult it is to complete." The woman commented, "How long do you give me?"
"The sooner the better." The man said, "The expectation is that it will be completed within three or four months."
"This is too difficult." The woman said.
"Three thousand taels of silver."
The woman refused: "Five thousand taels."
"Three thousand five hundred taels." The man added more money.
"Five thousand taels. Not a penny less."
"Three thousand eight hundred taels, the most - and I will give your ship a free flag for one year." This flag is worth a lot of money. If you sell it to any merchant at a discount, the income will be at least one thousand taels.
"Four thousand taels, plus a flag. That's the price."
"make a deal."
"Pay one thousand taels first," the woman said, "and pay the rest after everything is done."
"No problem." A smile appeared on the man's face: "My brother said that you are a jaw-dropping strange woman - you will definitely not disappoint us this time."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Although the woman's face is not clearly visible, he can feel that she is smiling like a flower at this moment. "Please tell the general, I am willing to serve him wholeheartedly."
"Then I'll hear the good news." The man let out a suppressed laugh.
The ship swayed, and the sunlight from the hatch swept across her cheek - it was Li Siya.
She looked plumper than before, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. The life of being at sea and dealing with major forces for many years is a sharp tool to kill a woman's beauty.
Li Siya is not short of money, and she has no ambitions that require investing large sums of money. Taking risks and playing tricks are her entertainment - she enjoys it.
She doesn't really hate or dislike the Australians, although she is vaguely annoyed with the Australians - because she does not receive the attention of the Australians: whether this attention is love, appreciation or hatred. Li Siya always felt that she had played many tricks on the Australians, seduced various forces into becoming their enemies, and even kidnapped their leaders. The other party should hate her to the core. But so far, I don’t see any special hatred towards her in Australia.
