What is the little story of Columbus s adventures

At dawn on August 3, three of Columbus' sailing ships and 87 sailors sailed from Puerto Barros and arrived in the Bahamas 69 days later, where he took the name "San Salvador" (meaning "Savior"). He thought this was India, so he called the natives "Indians." The flotilla continued south, reaching Cuba and Haiti.

There, he found no ** and spices, only some very backward and primitive barbarians and jungles. On March 15, 1493, Columbus left the West Indies and returned to Spain. Later, he made three more voyages to the Americas, successively discovering Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Dominica, etc., and reaching Honduras and Panama in Central America, laying the foundation for the Spanish colonization.

But until his death, Columbus was discovering the periphery of Asia, unaware that it was the "New World".

Tell your Chinese teacher to find it yourself, how can a hard-working gardener be so lazy.

1. In the 16th century, the great Italian navigator Christopher Columbus often led his fleet to sail across the Atlantic Ocean for adventures. At that time, seafaring life was very difficult, and the crew ate brown bread and salted fish. The most terrifying thing is that during the voyage, the crew is prone to a strange disease, which they call "the gods of the sea".

The sick crew first felt weak and unable to walk, then bleed all over their bodies, and then slowly died.

2. Once, Columbus led the fleet on a long voyage again. Soon after, the "fierce god of the sea" quietly descended. The flotilla had not yet sailed half the distance, and a dozen crew members had already fallen ill. Looking at the vast sea, Columbus felt very heavy.

3. In order not to drag everyone down, the dozen or so sick crew members said to Columbus: "Captain, please send us to a nearby desert island." When you return, we will transport our bodies back to our hometown. Columbus was so helpless that he had to nod his head tearfully and agree.

4. A few months later, Columbus's fleet returned victorious. Columbus led the fleet to the desert island where the sick crew remained, and the fleet got closer to the desert island, and Columbus's mood became heavier and heavier. The success of this expedition was bought with the lives of more than a dozen crew members!

Columbus thought, thought, and before he knew it, the fleet had docked.

5. Suddenly, Columbus saw a dozen unkempt men rushing towards the fleet from a desert island. He looked at it intently, wasn't this his own crew? They are alive! Columbus was amazed and delighted.

6. When the crew approached, Columbus asked eagerly, "How did you survive?" ”

7. The crew babbled: "When we arrived on the island, we soon finished eating the food you had left. Later, when he was hungry, he had to pick some wild fruits to eat. In this way, we survived day by day. ”

8. Columbus said to himself, "Is the secret in the wild fruit?" When he returned to Italy, he told Dr. Liang Qing about the miracle of the resurrection of these crew members. Later, it was discovered that wild fruits contain a substance called vitamin C.

9. It turns out that the so-called "fierce god of the sea" is "scurvy", which is caused by a long-term lack of vitamin C in the body. The crew had been eating brown bread and salted fish for a long time, and their bodies lacked vitamin C, so they contracted scurvy. Later, they picked wild fruits on a desert island to satisfy their hunger, and their bodies were supplemented with a large amount of vitamin C, and the scurvy was cured.

That is, it was vitamin C that saved the lives of these crew members.
