Looking at Yang Jing holding the broken nautical chart with a happy face, Ge Ge asked, "is this what you said to pick up the leak? I don't think it's very good. It's just a broken nautical chart."

Yang Jing took a whiff on Ge Ge's face and whispered, "daughter-in-law, your husband, I'll know if I picked up the leak in a moment. It's inconvenient to show here. Let's find a quiet place and I'll show you."

At this moment, gege's curiosity was completely hooked up. The girl immediately stopped noisy shopping in the flea market and took Yang Jing back to the hotel.

In the hotel room, several people gathered together. Not only did Ge Ge look excited, but even Chris and their four bodyguards looked forward to and excited.

When Beaumont visited the flea market, the four of them saw two broken charts together with their own eyes. Now the third chart came again, and it is very possible to synthesize a whole chart, which filled the hearts of Americans who had been looking forward to finding a legendary pirate treasure since childhood.

Yang Jing looked at several people, smiled and shook his head. Only then did he carefully remove the plastic package from the newly bought nautical chart, and then pretended to take out the other two nautical charts from his bag and directly took out the two nautical charts obtained before from the space.

Three incomplete nautical charts were tiled on the table. Yang Jing first put the two previously obtained nautical charts together and explained to Ge Ge: "I bought these two incomplete nautical charts from the wanver flea market in Paris and the flea market in Beaumont, oil city, Texas. Do you think it's amazing that these two incomplete nautical charts can be put together?"

With the two incomplete nautical charts pieced together into a nautical chart, gege also covered his small mouth and showed an incredible expression.

"It's amazing that you bought one in Paris and the other in Texas. It's really unimaginable that you can put it together."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "it's nothing. Look at the nautical chart we bought today!"

With that, Yang Jing carefully took the nautical chart he bought today and began to piece it up. Without much effort, the incomplete nautical chart was really put together with the nautical chart he had just put together, forming a complete sheepskin nautical chart!

The whole chart was not very big, only thirty centimeters square, but when the third chart was put together, a complete chart of the upper half of the Atlantic Ocean immediately became in front of everyone.

Yang Jing pointed to the navigation lines that directly arrived in Boston, New York and Philadelphia from Europe through Iceland. "These routes were the North Atlantic routes. At that time, taking the North Atlantic route from Europe to North America was the closest, but this route was also full of danger."

"For example, the big ship called Titanic," gege said

Yang Jing nodded. "Yes, although this route is the nearest route from Europe to North America, countless ships sank on this route, including luxury cruise ships like Titanic."

Ge Ge asked curiously, "Yang Jing, does this navigation chart indicate the location of those sunken ships? Then you go to salvage those sunken ships?"

Yang Jing shook her head with a smile and said: "How is it possible? If I'm not wrong, this chart should be made by pirates. How can those pirates know the location of the sunken ships? Well, the reason why the North Atlantic route appears on this chart is that the pirates stepped up the North Atlantic route when drawing this chart."

Yang Jing pointed to the Caribbean Sea and said: "At that time, this sea area was the most rampant area for pirates in the Caribbean! Look here, Montego Bay in Jamaica, Havana in Cuba, Haiti and the Bahamas... A series of islands cultivated countless pirates. And look at this chart. Except for the North Atlantic route, there are no other routes from Europe to North America and the Caribbean, anti-Japanese There are many routes in the Caribbean, and there are routes from the Caribbean to West Africa. Therefore, it can be clearly distinguished from this chart. This chart should be a chart drawn by a pirate in the 17th or early 18th century. "

Greg nodded thoughtfully, "With your explanation, this navigation chart seems to be really the same thing. But what's the matter with this route? From the Caribbean... Well, this should be Puerto Rico in the Caribbean? This route runs north from Puerto Rico, through New York and Boston, and then continues north through the Labrador Sea, Davis Strait, Baffin Bay and Smith sea Gorge... My God, it has reached the northernmost part of Ellesmere Island. Yang Jing, what does this black six pointed star mean? Why is the terminal of this route in this place? Why is it represented by such an evil symbol? "

In Christian doctrine, the six pointed star is considered to be the representative of evil, so Ge Ge asks.

Yang Jing shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know. But I can be sure that the place marked by the black six pointed star has gone deep into the Arctic circle. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it's difficult for anyone to sail to such a North place. Of course, it's not excluded that pirates chose such a remote place for adventure or hiding treasures."

"You mean this chart is likely to be a pirate's treasure map?" Ge asked with his eyes shining

Yang Jing shook her head and said: "I'm not sure. I just think this chart is very strange. After all, most of these sheepskin charts appeared before the 18th century, and it is very likely that this chart was drawn by pirates. But in the 18th century, few people could reach so far north, let alone those pirates who roamed the warm Caribbean Sea all year round How can you go to such remote and cold waters? "

Once Ge Ge heard this, he had nothing to say.

The navigation technology of the 17th and 18th centuries could not be compared with that of modern times. At that time, it was almost impossible for ships with sail power to reach the sea area above 70 degrees north latitude, let alone the area marked by the black hexagram on the nautical chart even exceeded 80 degrees north latitude.

You know, the first recorded person in human history to explore the Arctic, that is, the American Explorer pirry, was at the end of the 19th century when he explored the northernmost tip of Greenland!

Although the location marked with the black six pointed star is not the northernmost tip of Greenland, the northernmost tip of Ellesmere Island is almost as few as the northernmost tip of Greenland. They all belong to the extreme cold area, where ordinary people simply can't survive.

Even Yang Jing couldn't figure out why Mr. Bodman, nicknamed "sea snake", drew such a nautical chart. In terms of navigation technology at that time, it was unthinkable to be able to reach the extreme cold area from the Caribbean Sea all the way. However, it was so marked on this nautical chart!

If Yang Jing hadn't been told by his intuition that the nautical chart was of great use, he really thought it was painted by the sea snake bodeman.

However, from the general shape of some Straits and islands noted in the navigation icons, it looks like this "sea snake" Sir has really been to those far north areas, otherwise he could not draw such a nautical chart. It is understandable that he can draw Newfoundland and Labrador Peninsula, but it is shocking that he can draw almost the same on Baffin Island, Devon Island and Ellesmere Island further north.

At that time, there were no satellite surveying and mapping means. If you want to draw the coastline of a sea area at 8.9 or 10, the painter must have personally arrived at those places, otherwise it is impossible to draw it.

However, the chart in front of us drew the coastlines of Baffin Island, Devon Island and Ellesmere Island further north. Although it was not so accurate, it was unthinkable to draw the sea area like this at that time.

Yang Jing and Ge Ge couldn't guess, but Clark McCann hesitated and said, "boss, maybe other pirates can't go to the high latitude in the north, but one pirate may be able to do it."

"Huh? Clark, tell me."

Yang Jing knows that Native Americans like Clark have a great love for pirate culture. It is no exaggeration to say that every American boy has an indelible pirate dream in his heart. Some Americans are even better than those pirate experts. They can tell all kinds of legends about pirates with their mouths open.

Clark Han smiled and touched his head. He looked at Yang Jing and Ge Ge. Then he said, "boss, have you ever heard of the 'black Baron' Bartholomew Roberts?"

Yang Jing shook her head, but she didn't want Ge Ge around to ask excitedly, "you mean bashalomiao Roberts, one of the legendary ten pirate kings in the Caribbean?"

Clark said with a smile, "yes, it's the pirate king. If other pirate kings can't go to the North Sea, Roberts can certainly reach those sea areas! Because this guy is the best pirate king!"

Yang Jing is a little masked. Although he is very proficient in antiques, he really doesn't know about the pirates active in the Caribbean in the 17th and 18th centuries. Oh, it can't be said that he doesn't know. At least Yang Jing knows that there are Captain Jack Sparrow and his black pearl in the Caribbean, Captain Barbosa, David Jones and his flying Dutchman .

But these are the characters in the film Pirates of the Caribbean. Yang Jing really doesn't know much about the real pirates of the Caribbean in history
