"Rodman, don't be afraid, you won't step on us, we'll walk away by ourselves when we see you get down, why come to worship us again today, I don't think you will follow Princess Hannah in the future, just follow us Lord Li Huan! We know you're a big foodie! The people of Flower Island and Bavaria already know you, and every time you go ashore, you eat up everything from someone else's snack street. An Outland woman quipped.

"Don't talk nonsense, what's the difference between Princess Hannah and Lord Li Huan? Everyone in the entire Flower Language Island knows that Princess Hannah is not Lord Li Huan's future wife? There is no difference between serving the two of them, but Rodman, don't walk like this, we can all dodge, I feel tired to see you like this." The other girl who was rescued by Li Huan from the pirate ship laughed.

"You let me ...... Let let ......" killer whale warrior Rodman took heavy steps and finally came to Li Huan's side.

"Rodman, your injuries are completely healed, right?" Li Huan still remembered Hannah's killer whale warrior.

"My lord, my injuries are completely healed, you haven't been back for two years, we miss you so much...... Princess Hannah's humpback whales are already on their way, about three days away, I can't wait to come first, I haven't seen adults in a long time, adults are still so strong!" Rodman smiled.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fool of yourself......" Li Huan couldn't cry or laugh: "I don't have the impression that you are so flamboyant, killer whale warriors are characters who start to do without saying a word, why did you learn to be flamboyant?"

"That's not a flamboyant tongue, my worship of adults is sincere, don't you know, after you left, the news that you eliminated the two sea lords alone spread in the royal court of the sea royal family, and now Princess Hannah has been recognized as your wife, and she is now very respected, all thanks to you, if it weren't for you, Princess Hannah would still be in a situation of exclusion. For this reason, I am also your lifelong loyalist. Rodman smiled: "Okay, I'm Princess Tihannah to pass the word, he has three days until tonight, you and your friends reunite, I won't bother, I'm going to drink, to be honest, it's really good that human beings can make peace with the sea royal family, I didn't expect that there were so many delicious things on the shore when I was in the sea......"

After saying that, Rodman shook his huge body, walked away carefully, and let out another scream.

"You guy, watch your step!"

"Rodman, look at the top of your head, the light above your head has been pushed by you, you bend over and bend over!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go over from the side, but there is no light from the side, and the people of our sea royal clan will not be able to see the road clearly at night......"

Li Huan looked at Rodman's back and shook his head: "This guy has changed now." ”

"No, we've all changed. Hannibal lifted his life: "Thanks to you too." ”

Because of Li Huan's return after two years of absence, tonight's Huayu Island is destined to be a sleepless night. Compared with the Flower Language Island when Li Huan left, although the construction of the Flower Language Island was already very perfect at that time, the current Flower Language Island is more prosperous. Electric lights were set up around the square to illuminate the night vividly, although it was not as rich as Li Huan's previous night pearl lighting, but it made this place more modern.

Li Huan, Rod Anfija, Avril and others were at the same table, although Li Huan had been away for two years, everyone felt as if he had not left.

Li Huan picked up a large cup, drank the red liquid in it in one gulp, and burped for a long time: "It's so refreshing, I haven't drunk pearl juice for a long time." I've been back for so long, and I've often missed the delicious food here, and although my hometown also has a lot of food, there are a lot of things here that really can't be replaced...... We've got to promote it!"

After speaking, Li Huan looked at the people on the table: "Haha, you have really changed...... Freya, what, you used to like to stick to me the most, why don't you talk? Oh, little girl has grown up......"

"Brother Huan, you ......" Freya's face turned red.

In fact, if you want to say it, Freya has the best relationship with Li Huan, because Li Huan came to this world a few years ago, and the first thing she met was Freya. Of course, in addition to Fu Liya, there is also Avril, these two girls are Li Huan, and they met almost on the same day, but the purpose of the two people is different, so the treatment is naturally different. Compared with Avril Lavigne, Li Huan prefers Freya, because this little girl is really distressing, in the Maple Leaf Array, his family was looted and slaughtered by pirates, and all the people in the village died, if there is anyone else in this world who can be called his relatives, then there is only Li Huan.

"Alright, Freya, let's go eat, it looks like Mr. Hannibal and Brother Huan have something to discuss. Avril had more eyes than Freya, and seeing Hanniba on the table, he knew that this person must have something to say to Li Huan. Now that the empress is back, she is not in a hurry, anyway, Li Huan has already returned, let them talk about the most important thing first, seeing that Li Huan has brought so many people this time, there must be some big move, so don't interfere with the woman's affairs anymore, anyway, Li Huan will need to stay here for a long time, and there will be time in the future.

After speaking, Avril didn't wait for Li Huan to speak, pulled Freya and left.

"Avril is really much more sensible now, I still remember the first time I saw her, she was still the reckless little girl with a dagger, after two years, her life has now become normal, this is all the peace of mind that the territory brings her. Therefore, people must still have a stable living environment, and after having a stable living environment, the whole person will be different...... This is what my dad has been saying, a stable environment is everything, and a stable society is everything. Hannibal sighed.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these big things, just tell me directly. We haven't seen each other for two years, so why have you become so rusty? It's not just me who sees that you have a problem, but even Avril can see that you have something to say to me, what do you have to say, you can just say it, we don't have to be so yin and yang between our two brothers. Li Huan squinted at Hannibal: "If you want to do this to me, then I will also treat you in the usual way, you must know that you are now the lord of Bavaria, although you have not officially taken over the position of lord, but sooner or later you are the lord, then I will treat you with a diplomatic demeanor, once you enter the diplomatic process, it is not as easy as the two of us chatting." ”

"Don't ...... Don't talk about diplomacy or diplomacy, Bavaria and Huayu Island still talk about diplomacy. Hannibal hurriedly waved his hand: "I can see it, don't I hide things on my face at all, no wonder my father said that I can't hide anything, I thought that if I can't hide it, I can hide it from those little girls, but I didn't expect that in addition to Frieh, even my lover can see it." ”

"Come on, there is sorrow written in every essay on your face, in our literary words, you are now 45 degrees away from looking up at the starry sky. What do you have to say, you said that Bavaria and Huayu Island are not diplomatic relations at all, we are a country of brothers, since we are a country of brothers, can you be a little happier when you speak?" Li Huan rubbed his temples: " It's not that I'm holding it up, you also saw it this time, so many of us have their own tasks, except for the fart next door desert don't worry about me, I guess soon I will take some people out to explore the dark world, let's put it this way, if you don't tell me now that you want to find me for two days, you may not be able to find my people, because I was so busy at that time, when you want to find me, don't blame me for putting up a shelf when you can't find it. ”

After Li Huan finished speaking, Hannibal still looked like he was stumbling, Li Huan simply stood up: "Okay, now I'll give you a chance, if I give you a chance, if you don't say it, then don't blame me, if you want to find me in two days, when you can't find anyone, then you have to go through the normal procedure - otherwise you can go to my companion by yourself." ”

"Don't don't, I said no?" Hannibal blushed.

"Look, you're a, I'll tell you well, you don't say it when you want you to ask you, you don't say it until I get up and leave. Li Huan smiled disdainfully, but still sat down: "Say, what makes you so hesitant." ”

Hannibal gritted his teeth: "Actually, this is not what I want to ask you, it is my father who wants to ask even those people in the center of the territory, I want to ask you what you are doing here, can't it just focus on the Gobi Desert, you must have any other ideas...... I know it may involve some of your secret strategies, so it's hard to say, but for the sake of our friends, can you tell us something that can be revealed in advance, such as what we need in Bavaria when you do something...... You know what I mean, we don't want to have any hostile relationship with you after seeing the power of these warships. ”

"That's it?" Li Huan was stunned.

"Well, on this matter, to put it more simply, will you spy on the Bavarian territory, will you have any thoughts about the territorial center......" Hannibal simply said: "You know that if you are not here, then the territorial center may use all its resources to destroy you on that island first." Because you are so powerful, such a small number of people can develop such a powerful force in such a short period of time, no politician will not take you seriously, especially after you have such a powerful force, you are actually interested in the Gobi Desert, not to mention the disbelief of the territorial center, in fact, even my father does not believe it, can you tell me honestly what you are going to do......"

"Didn't I mean it, it's to explore the dark worlds that have not been discovered. Even according to the laws of the territorial center, those dark worlds are explored, as long as they can be protected, isn't it their own territory? We don't have any conflicts......" Li Huan said as he spoke, and suddenly understood: "You mean, the territorial center doesn't trust us at all?"

"Do you believe that a powerful and incredible force is stationed around you? Can you sleep at night? Although we are friends, to be honest, if I were the emperor of the center of the territory, I would not believe you either. Hannibal sighed: "It's politics. ”

"Your dad is right. Li Huan shrugged.

That's right, it's politics.

Don't think that the expansion of the territory is just a simple military matter, the first thing is to have a strong army, a strong army, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the expansion of the territory, and to be able to protect the territory of the development. If you don't have a strong armed force, you don't want to mention this matter, because when you open up an unfamiliar territory, you have to face danger all the time, and this danger may be faced, and naturally it may be faced with a malicious enemy, so it is necessary to have a strong army, which is the essence of what is needed to expand the territory, and without a strong army, everything is empty talk.

Of course, if there is only a strong army, then the expansion of the territory is bound to fail.

How to say it, a strong army is the guarantee of expanding the territory, it can turn the tide in the face of all dangerous enemies, and can defeat all opponents with malicious intentions, but when the army acts, it is naturally aggressive. When armies move, they disrupt everything and burn everything up like a fire - not only the enemy, but also the territory. Therefore, after the army's action is completed, then it must be a politician to come, like a gentle wind and drizzle to comfort the people of this land, after the army has passed, all places have become a scorched earth, and there must be such a skilled politician as moisturizing things silently, with a strong army that can protect the territory, in order to complete the great measure of expanding the territory and establishing the country.

Both are indispensable.

Rather, if there is more important of the two, then most countries will choose the latter, because skilled politicians and silent means of moisturizing things are the primary factors in maintaining the normal operation of a country and the happy life of its people. If the people of a country live happily and prosperously, then even if there is no strong army, the country must have strong cohesion, and a skilled politician will naturally take into account all aspects - for example, politicians in the center of the territory are thinking about what is in the mind of this powerful power that has suddenly appeared.

With such a powerful force, if you want to say that he is just for a Gobi desert, then these politicians don't believe it at all, not to mention that other people don't even believe it even Marquis Gude, who has the best relationship with Li Huan. The reason why Gude agreed to you in the first place was because the territory of the territorial center was only within the city walls, and in fact it had no control over the Gobi Desert. Therefore, even if Li Huan and the others did not notify Gude at all, or did not notify the territorial center, and directly occupied the Gobi Desert, then according to the laws of the territory, they would not make any mistakes. It is even said that after they have established a city and declared their independence, they are countries that can sit on an equal footing with the territorial center.

If the people in the center of the territory didn't believe that they had this ability at first, then just outside the Bavarian port, next to Flowerfish Island, on the newly built island next to Flowerfish Island, the incredible speed of skyscrapers and those terrifying warships made the people in the center of the territory believe that these new forces did have this ability - they not only had the ability to transform the desert, but even the ability to fight a war of destruction.

Why is Li Huan right to say that Gude thinks so, if Gude is a leader who opens the door to welcome everyone when he hears Li Huan's name, then there is no doubt that he is not qualified to sit in this position at all. You must know that he leads a city-state, and there are hundreds of thousands of people's lives in the city-state, if you consider personal friendship, then he is a fool. But Gude has a good relationship with Li Huan, and he is also very aware of Li Kan's personality, so in a dilemma, he reported this matter to the territorial center. The Territorial Center didn't pay much attention to it at first, but in the next two years, the island outside Huayu Island has undergone drastic changes, and if that wasn't enough...... The terrifying construction energy of these newcomers is enough to keep any politician awake from eating well.

This is a simple multiple-choice question, when you have a strong force, whether to choose to go to a place that no one has explored and establish your own power, or choose those cities that have been developed and very mature to occupy, I am afraid most people will choose the latter. Because a mature urban system circle cannot be built in a year, and the completed urban circle, all kinds of industry and commerce are very mature and supportive, as long as the local residents are comforted after the war, these are ready-made. With such a powerful force, they can attack one city after another by themselves, and bring one city after another under their control, instead of going to the hellish Gobi Desert to establish their own country as they said - this is a very simple judgment question, as long as there is no problem in the brain, people will judge like this, they will think like this, and even when Li Huan thinks about this problem, he himself will feel that if he is sitting in that position, then he will definitely guess like this- The opponent obviously has such a strong force, why do you leave the serious city alone, and go to those places where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs to build cities, isn't that your own guilt?

But don't say that the residents of the city have any attachment or sense of belonging, in this era, whoever keeps them fed will have the most sense of belonging.

Therefore, it is inevitable that people in the center of the territory will think so.

"yes, you think there's something wrong with their worries, too. Actually, I'm not too worried about it, because even if you build a city on the Gobi Desert, the first person you will contact is Bavaria. After the earthquake in Bavaria, most of the buildings were built by you, so to speak, and now your prestige in Bavaria is actually very high - and I am not afraid to tell you that in the propaganda, we deliberately emphasized your role and labeled you as our allies, so that our inhabitants will accept you so easily, and this will be beneficial to us, even if there is a war in the future...... When we surrender, no one will say anything. Hannibal said very succinctly.

"Surrender, why did you think of surrender?" Li Huan couldn't cry or laugh: "When Goode heard what you said, could he slap you into the big whirlpool, do you believe it?"

"Do you think I want to surrender? But what can I do if I don't? Don't you know your own armament, not to mention too much, even if two warships bomb the sea far away, the whole of Bavaria will have to surrender. It's true that we have some powerful monsters, you don't have them, and we even have artillery...... But your attack distance is too long, to be honest, I have never seen a naval gun so far away, we also have magic crystal cannons, but our magic crystal cannons are just toys in front of your artillery. Hannibal sighed: "That's why we are deliberately assimilating you and putting you in the same position as us, even if something happens in the future, you will attack Bavaria for the sake of the past, and you will not hurt those ordinary civilians." ”

"Now that I've said that, you're probably not going to believe anything, are you, right? But I tell you, we just want to open up the dark worlds, and as for the Territorial Hub, we never thought about it. Li Huan sighed: "Although I know it's a bit thin to say this, but if you believe me, you believe that he won't do such a thing, because I know what they do, I will bring them to this world, if I find out that they have any bad intentions, then I will be the first to send them away." ”

"Is it really to open up the dark world?" asked Hannibal seriously.

"It's really about opening up a dark world...... If I have to do anything with you, it's that maybe tomorrow I'll have to go back to Bavaria and find out all your maps, and I'll have to see where the Dark World is, so that I can guide these places properly, lest I have to explore the time that has already been explored, and then it will be really embarrassing for the two sides to fight. Li Huan smiled.

"No problem, since you have said so, then we will definitely do our best to help, if you want to talk about maps, there are still many neat maps in Bavaria, in fact, you just said that if you want to explore the dark world...... If you have the skills to cross the Gobi Desert, then the most recommended place for you to go is the forest. Hannibal said.

"What's over there in the forest?" Li Huan was curious.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the tide of demonic beasts began to extend from that place, no one knows where those demonic beasts came from, over there is the darkest dark territory, if you control that territory, I think it is much better than the Gobi Desert. Hannibal said: "Of course, you can deal with those terrible monsters in advance, you must know that if it were not for the Gobi Desert, those monsters would be enough for us." If you can deal with those demon beasts, then the deep forest area must be much better than the Qin Shan next door, I know that your construction level is very high, and I believe that you can carve out a city in the desert, but the low difficulty is always better than the high difficulty, right?"

"This is a saying......" Li Huan thought thoughtfully: "But you also said that that there is the birthplace of the Warcraft Tide......

"So what? I remember you seem to be very interested in crystal nuclei, if there is any place on this continent, the most golden river, except for the ocean, then it is probably the forest, if you can cross the Gobi Desert, build a small city on the Gobi Desert, use that small city as a supply, and then open up the direction of the forest, then I think it is the best choice for you. Hannibal said, "Not only will this be a quick way to open up cities, but it's also important that you can hunt down a lot of crystal nuclei, and although I don't know what you need so many crystal nuclei for, it's a good direction." Think about it, isn't it the best of all three worlds to be able to open up territory, build cities at the same time, and hunt a large amount of gold rivers?"

"You said this could be considered. Li Huan seemed to smile: "But your selfishness is too obvious." ”

"Where do I have any selfish motives?" said Hannibal.

"Rather than us building a city next door to the desert, it's better to build it on the other side of the forest, because in this case, there is a desert Gobi as a moat to separate us—no matter how great our ability is, we can't build a city all over the desert, you think so, right?" Li Huan smiled: "I just said it, in fact, what can be said clearly, our two brothers don't have these crooked twists." As I just said, it's clear that our exploration team has no interest in your city, let alone hostility, and in the past two years, haven't you noticed that our exploration team is unconventional? ”

"Even if you tell me that...... Hannibal smiled wryly, "I believe you 100 percent, but those guys in the center of the territory won't believe your ......"

"It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, the most important thing is that we know what we're doing. Li Huan's eyes froze: "Those politicians in the territorial center may think that we are going to fight a war of aggression, but in fact they are wrong, there are still many places in this world that have not been explored, in fact, if you let me say it, I will prefer those places that have not been explored." As for why you should know that people are the most important resource in places that have been explored, of course this is the right idea. However, we don't lack people at all, what we lack is some resources, let me tell you this - precious energy resources, all kinds of gold rivers, this is what we want, so constantly open up the land of the dark world, this is our ultimate goal, for those places that have been carved out to build city-states, but not what we need. ”

"You mean, are you just asking for those resources?" Hannibal's eyes lit up, maybe those guys in the center of the territory would listen to that.

"Yes, what else do you want but to support us, do you want your people? Don't you notice? Our former troops who came over, every one of them is the elite of the elite, and they do everything better than ordinary people. Let me tell you, it seems that there are about 9 million people in our country, so you say, what do we want people to do?" Li Huan sighed: " And why we want to come to this world to explore, it is because almost every inch of our world has been explored, and many of our resources are being depleted day by day, so to find a new way out, it just so happens that I have found your continent again, so we want to find those resources we need here, in those dark lands that have not been explored. ”

"Got it! It's just a matter of resources...... The places that have not been opened up in the dark world, according to estimates, there are more than half of this world, no matter what resources you want, you can find them!" Hannibal finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Huan say this.

"So you don't have to worry about it at all, if you are worried about this, you can just tell the shareholders, what we need is resources, not territorial resources are more important to us, if you can, you can send some people to explore with us. Li Huan thought for a while and said: "But I don't count this, if you are interested, I can take you to that island tomorrow, talk to the commanders first, and see how Bavaria and we should cooperate next, after all, our relationship is so good, what benefits should you enjoy first......

"Yes, that's it, so I'll send a letter to my father first, he is still worried about a group of old stubborns on the territory center, if you just want resources, I can even ask my father to transfer some maps from the territory center, so that it will be easier for you to find." Understood, after Li Huan and their people came over, Hannibal was obviously relaxed, and he raised his glass: "But today we won't talk about the company, today is the first celebration of your return, tonight we won't get drunk or return, no matter what things are waiting to be talked about tomorrow, it's too late to talk about tomorrow, and besides, I have long wanted to visit that flash staircase!"

With that, Hannibal raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all clean. Ever since he saw Li Huan's so-called friends and so-called explorers start to build the island, he has not been able to put down this big stone in his heart. Because whatever their intentions, if they are malicious, then Bavaria must bear the brunt. And with the force of these explorers, Bavaria can't resist them at all - let alone win or lose, even if you lose decently, it's very difficult, because I'm afraid you've seen with your own eyes how powerful these guys are. Besides, he also knew that Li Huan had a very good relationship with the Sea Imperial Family, but if these guys wanted to make trouble, then they must have something to do with Li Huan, and if they had something to do with Li Huan, then Li Huan would call the Shanghai Imperial Family together. Once Li Huan is attacking Bafaria with the Sea Imperial Clan, it goes without saying that abandoning the city is the best choice.

If you only need resources, then don't be afraid.

In the dark world that has not been explored, there are actually a lot of resources, which has been recorded in many books, that is, in the books before the Warcraft Tide. There are even a lot of large resource points that have been recorded, but they just don't have the capacity to mine them right now. If they were only for support, Hannibal would even be imagining these ancient resources for them, because only they could mine them. Besides, if from a more vicious point of view, if they want to exploit these resources, they must face powerful elements, face powerful demon beasts, and lose both sides or something like that.

Of course Hannibal is thinking about these things he will not say, this is politics. Hannibal is the second lord of Bavaria, and when Goode passes on his position, then Hannibal is the undisputed lord of Bavaria, and at that time he is also a politician, a mature politician, no matter how good his relationship with Li Huan is, he will always think of his own interests - this is a subconscious mentality, and it has nothing to do with the friendship of friends......

It's just that Li Huan feels that he has become a little stranger.

It's no wonder that he has been away for two years, no matter who he is, he has grown up, just like Avril and Freya, these two little girls have grown into two living beauties. And the second generation of officials like Hannibal will grow up under the spur of Goode no matter what, Li Huan can also see from his various communicative words that he is no longer the reckless guy he was at the beginning, how to say, he is the future lord of Bavaria - with the identity of the lord in it, it is not so approachable.

Everyone will grow, and if you change a little, he will become a more mature Bavarian lord, but relatively speaking, it will also make Li Huan a little stranger, but Li Huan also quickly figured it out. Well, people have to change no matter what. If Hannibal was still so naïve when he was a lord leading his hundreds of thousands of people, then he was definitely not a mature lord, and Li Huan was more willing to see his friend grow up than a friend. When everyone is still fighting alone, it is natural to put their hearts in their hearts, even if the relationship is good, there will be a layer of estrangement in the middle, Li Huan naturally raised his glass after figuring out this matter.

"Well, I understand what you said, and I know what Goode wants you to bring me, and I know very well, and I'll take you to a meeting tomorrow when I go with you to visit the Shining Staircase...... Didn't you say that it would help us find a lot of ancient resource points? Well, I'll take you to a meeting so you know what we're up to. When you know what our purpose is, please give back to Goode bit by bit, so that he can rest assured, so that our relationship will not deteriorate. You don't have to deny it, I know you're already speculating about the purpose of our visit, so I'll just tell you about it. Li Huan raised his glass: "Now that you have become the lord of Bavaria, you should naturally think about your power, as a lord of power, you naturally don't want to see any powerful forces around you become bigger, but you can believe me as a person, and I have always been true to my words." ”

"This ......" Li Huan said so thoroughly that Hannibal seemed a little embarrassed.

"Don't use this and that, I know your troubles, so I understand you very well. Li Huan smiled faintly: "Come on, like you said, tonight is to welcome my return, tonight's welcome will not be drunk, and you will be relieved tomorrow, and tomorrow I will let you see that we are really not malicious." ”

......

Early the next morning, on the explorer island next to Huayu Island, the killer whale warrior Rodman volunteered to make a ferry and took Li Huan and Hannibal to the pier of the explorer island.

The Explorer Island originally had no name, and the Explorers initially wanted to give it an official name, but after thinking about it for a long time, they couldn't come up with a good name. Why, because the island is generally named with its own characteristics, such as the famous boundary island in the South China Sea tourist area of China. Boundary Island is located in the southeast sea of the island in the South China Sea tourist area, about 1.2 nautical miles from the nearest coast, and the boat transition is about 15 minutes each way. Lying in the blue sea from northeast to southwest, the island looks like a saddle from afar, with an area of about 0.41 square kilometers and a maximum altitude of 99 meters above sea level. In fact, the whole Niuling is the continuation of the Wuzhishan Mountain Range, which was formed by the extrusion of the continental plate hundreds of millions of years ago, and the boundary island is also the lower part of Niuling, and later in the glacial period, the immersion of seawater flooded the lower part, cutting off the connection between the boundary island and Niuling, thus forming the current appearance.

And why it's called the Dividing Continent is because it divides two climatic zones.

Although the whole boy traveled to the tropics, because of this Niuling in the southeast and northwest direction, there is a difference in the climate in the north of this ridge. The climate north of Niuling is relatively warm, the humidity of the air is high, and there is more rainfall, while the temperature in Lingnan is two or three degrees higher than that in Lingbei, and the sun is abundant, but it is dry and rainy. Looking at both sides of Niuling on the boundary island of Boundary Island, you can often see such a scene: in summer, it rains heavily in the north of Lingnan, but the sun is shining in Lingnan, and in winter, Lingbei is gloomy, but Lingnan is sunny.

But what is this island called?

It is located next to Huayu Island, which was originally an ocean, but later because the Tiankun sand dredging ship was too capable of digging, an island was built in this way. But at first, the island was just a sandbar, and it was difficult to name it, and when the explorers built it, and basically all the facilities it should have, it was difficult to choose a name - after all, it was because the small island changed every day. At first, it was a long strip, some people said it looked like a fish, so it was named Silverfish Island, and after a while, the island became round again, some people said it was called Sun Island, but after a while, two pincers grew on this round sun...... Is it possible to change the name again? Therefore, the explorers no longer think about choosing a name, so they simply call it the explorer's island.

Although it is said to be a small island, it is really not small.

How to say, after the excavation of the Tiankun day and night, this island has expanded to about four square kilometers - don't underestimate these four square kilometers, even if it is Huayu Island, it is only less than three square kilometers. And at this rate, it won't be a few years before there will be a Bavarian city the size of the city.

The killer whale warrior took Li Huan and Hannibal to the explorer's island, and the construction here made Li Huan refreshed, and he sighed again and again that we are worthy of being infrastructure madmen, and we have not insulted the name at all. If Flower Language Island has been built into a semi-modern island with the help of these explorers, then there is no doubt that the explorer island has become a fully modern, and like a hedgehog, it has erected its own body with a comprehensive defense system.

When Rodman was on the dock, he was stopped by two soldiers. If Li Huan hadn't cleared the siege in time, Rodman's fate would have been a dead end. DON'T THINK THAT THE VITALITY OF THE SIX- OR SEVEN-METER KILLER WHALE WARRIOR IS VERY STRONG, WHEN LI HUAN STEPPED ON THE DOCK, HE CLEARLY SAW THAT ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE PIER, EVERY THIRTY METERS OR SO, THERE WAS A FOUR-COMPANY RAPID-FIRE GUN WITH A 12.7MM CALIBER. These super murder weapons, which I don't know when and where, are now facing the docks directly, daring to destroy all invading enemies.

If this was not enough, Li Huan also saw the large-caliber artillery hidden behind these rapid-fire machine guns - it was clearly the PLZ-05 produced by the Northern Group of our country!

The PLZ-05 self-propelled grenade has a combat weight of more than 45 tons, an 800 hp diesel engine, a maximum speed of more than 40 km/h on dirt roads, a cruising range of 550 km, and a 155 mm 52 x caliber howitzer with a maximum rate of fire of 8-10 rounds per minute and an ammunition base of 30 rounds. Artillery, many people have no concept of artillery, if a 155-mm high-explosive shell explodes, not a single person on most of the football field will survive.

"Colonel Li Huan, you're finally here!" On the dock, two soldiers saluted Li Huan, they had been waiting here for a long time: "The meeting has begun, and Chief Shangguan and Chief Han are waiting for you to come over." In addition, the commanders of several other countries have already arrived, so they are waiting for you alone. Well, in fact, everyone was already gathered around 6 a.m., but I didn't give you any notice because you might be reuniting with your friends. ”

"I'm sorry, I really don't know, if I had known, I'd have come a long time ago. Li Huan nodded, glanced at the damp camouflage uniforms on the two soldiers, and said a little embarrassedly: "Please wait for a long time, looking at your appearance, you should have been waiting for a long time." Actually, you don't have to be so polite, I'm chatting with friends anyway, you see, no, I even brought him here, in fact, if you had informed me earlier, I would have come a long time ago, although I will have some friends gathering here when I come back, but the task is serious, and the task cannot be delayed. But thank you for waiting for me on the docks. ”

"It's our honor, Colonel!" the two soldiers immediately saluted: "We've always heard your name before, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes, you're as heroic as we imagined! You may not know it, but in order to meet your task today, the two of us also specially found someone to change shifts, and in order to change this duty time, we sacrificed a long period of vacation!"

"Pick me up?" Li Huan was stunned: "When did I become so popular...... Okay, this is my friend Hannibal, you should have heard of it, he is the heir to the lord of Bavaria...... Well, you can just think of it as a local leader. I'm here today to bring him here to help him, and a lot of the information that Bavaria has collected can be used by us. Okay, so let's go over now, shall we?"

"Of course we know this gentleman, he is your friend and has provided us with a lot of help, it is an honor to meet you, Mr. Lord!" the little soldier saluted.

"No, no, the last earthquake, thanks to your help, otherwise I don't know what Bavaria is like now. Hannibal hurriedly waved his hand: "We in Bavaria welcome you to play at any time, but I haven't seen you come to the city for a while, and many of my people are talking about you, saying that every time you come to the city, you can bring them a lot of help, and we must get close to you when we have time in the future."

"Of course, Mr. Lord, but we won't be too wordy today, the meeting is still waiting. The soldier said.

"Then let's go. Li Huan interrupted the conversation between the two: "Serious matters are important. ”

"You're talking about orders. The soldier immediately jumped into the car: "After all, you are our national idol." You're commanding, but you're going to preside over this meeting......"

"How am I a national idol......

Li Huan didn't know that he had now become the idol of all the soldiers on this explorer's island. In order to pick up Li Huan's boat today, these two soldiers specially changed shifts with their colleagues. Changing shifts with colleagues also sacrificed their rest time in order to come and see Li Huan. This made Li Huan very unaware - in fact, the explorers were not like this at the beginning.

In terms of opening up a new world, a new living space for human beings, the explorers didn't understand what was going on at first, but when they came here, they figured out that this opening up a new world is really opening up a new world, and there is no opportunism at all. How to say, when they came to a strange place, they were so strange to everything. And they knew that there was civilization here in the information that Li Huan brought back, and the Huayu Island they came out of was a civilized place. And these explorers were ordered by their superiors to have a good attitude towards the command of life here, so they didn't dare to contact other people at first, for fear of violating some habits of these intelligent beings. However, it is not a way for them to be so cautious, for example, once, because the space gate did not deliver food in time, and the food here was about to run out - the first to stand up and help them was Hannibal.

As for why, in fact, there was enough food at the beginning, but on the premise of carrying out the orders of the superiors and getting along well with the intelligent beings here, during the Bavarian earthquake, in addition to helping Bavaria build the city wall, these people also donated a large amount of food - which led to their own food shortage. When Hannibal learned about this, he didn't say a word, in addition to the rations donated by the explorers, he also transported supplies and daily necessities from two galleons to Huayu Island - at that time, no one dared to approach the explorer island - monsters like the Tiankun were desperately reclaiming the sea to build an island, how could anyone approach. And at that time, why Gude and Hannibal dared to let these people go to Bavaria, there was no other reason, it was a name, Li Huan.

When the Bavaria earthquake collapsed, the walls collapsed, the inhabitants were displaced, and it was a time of vulnerability, and it was not wise to let in a large number of armed men. And after deliberation, Goode and Hannibal accepted the kindness of the explorers, if not for anything else, because they were Li Huan's hometown. After the construction of the city, Hannibal and Goode were not stingy, in addition to exchanging all the rations donated by the explorers, after the resources and materials of other cities arrived, there were also two galleons in return.

In this way, because of the name "Li Huan" on both sides, the relationship is getting warmer and warmer, so how can Li Huan not become a national idol? When he was on the earth, just looking at the "this is my territory" written in Li Huan's information, everyone still had no idea, but the feeling was different on the ground, as long as this name was mentioned, everyone's eyes were a light of appreciation. Because of the name Li Huan, the pace of the explorers has greatly accelerated the process. Until now, they could go directly to Bavarian soil at any time and without notice, wander around it, or buy anything, in short, no one cared about them, as if they were supposed to be Bavarians.

They are all explorers, and they know how difficult it all is, so everyone regards Li Huan as an idol, and there is nothing wrong with it - when Li Huan was on Earth, he once inexplicably accepted a large wave of faith points, according to Xiaofei's analysis, it was from this world, Li Huan didn't know about this before, but this is a later story - because it is obvious that everyone on the explorer's island is a fan of Li Huan, and it is impossible to generate so many faith points.

"Sir, please go this way!" The soldier started the jeep and did not answer Li Huan's words: "In short, it is a national idol!"

"Okay, let's go, I don't have a clue at the moment, just go and hear what the army thinks. Li Huan thought for a while and nodded: "Anyway, my impression of this world is just like that, Hannibal, you can make more suggestions when the time comes, just like you said yourself, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields." In short, if your suggestion is really good and we adopt it, you can rest assured that Bavaria will definitely be good, and I will give you assurances without asking. ”

"That's for the best, yes, Bavaria is now the richest part of the territory, but only we know the headache! Just kidding, the sea royals have come ashore, and you explorer's island - you see, this can be called an island...... Hannibal got into the jeep, and when the car started forward, he was startled: "How can this thing move!? Oh my God, there are no horses, no crystal nuclei, what is this used to drive ......"

As soon as Li Huan looked at Hannibal's appearance, he knew how tight the mouths of this group of advance team members were. Although the explorers have long been familiar with the Bavarians, the explorer island has been a forbidden place since its beginnings, and a lot of weaponry - except for the visible, somewhat frantic ships, most of which no one has ever seen. It's no wonder that even a high-ranking person like Hannibal has never seen a jeep in Bavaria, except for the magic cars that Bavaria is used to riding in horse-drawn carriages, or crystal nuclei-driven magic cars, so he made a fuss.

"Okay, okay, this is a car, it seems that our sense of secrecy is really high......" Li Huan couldn't cry and laughed; "You are the lord of a place, can you not make such a fuss." As I said, my hometown is far away, and we have many things that are different from you, and you don't even have to think of us as people from this world...... Do you understand that? You are also the lord of Bavaria, and the next person to meet is the commander of our expedition, and you are too ashamed. ”

"Shame on you? I think it's good. Hannibal smiled bitterly, "Who knew you were so versatile! You know? I was fine, but at the time of the last earthquake, we decided to build the city walls, and the estimated time was seven months. Because the city wall collapsed, we asked for help from the town next door, but unexpectedly, the rescue team was still on the way, and your people repaired the city wall that was budgeted for seven months! This is not counting, after repairing the city wall, the Bavarian city was renovated by the way! You were on Huayu Island yesterday, and you didn't see the current appearance of the Bavarian city...... There are not a few districts in Bavaria now, and your people have made Bavaria unknown to me...... When reinforcements from nearby cities arrived, their commander thought we were joking. ”

"Hey, you don't even understand this, so don't make a fuss. I don't dare to say anything else, but if we want to achieve the speed of construction, then we will admit the second, and there may be no one in this world who can be the first. You don't know, what you see is only civilian construction technology, if it is a real wartime military black technology, it is guaranteed to make your eyes stare down. So, you should maintain the demeanor that a lord should have, and don't make a fuss about everything......" Li Huan said halfway triumphantly, and suddenly subconsciously turned right, because on the way with the two of them in the jeep, Li Huan felt that on his right side, it seemed that at the end of the island, there was a huge, erected, steelpunk thing. When he looked at it and saw what it was, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn! What the hell! This is not ......."

"Colonel Li Huan, you are right, that is. The soldier in front happily introduced to Li Huan: "This was established about half a month ago, and it was said that when you come over, it will be officially launched." ”

Launch, what to launch? Li Huan just laughed at Hannibal for not having a city at all, but Li Huan subconsciously scolded when he saw this thing - it was a carrier rocket!

Launch vehicles refer to the various vehicles that people have built to propel spacecraft into space. Launch vehicles are generally 2-4 stages, which are used to put artificial earth satellites, manned spacecraft, space stations or interplanetary probes into predetermined orbits. The final stage houses an instrument compartment with guidance and control systems, telemetry systems, and launch site security systems. The payload is mounted on top of the instrument compartment with a fairing. Each stage includes the rocket structure, propulsion system, and flight control system. The stages are connected by interstage segments. The payload is mounted on top of the instrument compartment with a fairing.

The development of the launch vehicle began after the Second World War on the basis of missiles. The first launch vehicle to successfully launch a satellite was the Soviet launch vehicle Sputnik, modified with an intercontinental missile (see Project Sputnik 1). By the 80s of the 20th century, the Soviet Union, Citigroup, France, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, India and the European Space Agency had successfully developed more than 20 rockets with large, medium and small carrying capacities. The smallest weighs only 10.2 tons and has a thrust of 125 kN (about 12.7 tons of power) and can only send a 1.48 kg artificial satellite into low earth orbit, while the largest weighs more than 2,900 tons and has a thrust of 33,350 kN (3,400 tons force) and can send a load of more than 120 tons into low earth orbit. The main launch vehicles are the "Hercules" launch vehicle, the "Delta" launch vehicle, the "Saturn" launch vehicle, the "Vostok" launch vehicle, the "Cosmos" launch vehicle, the "Arian" launch vehicle, the N launch vehicle, and the "Long March" carrier rocket.

What Li Huan saw was the "Long March" series of carrier rockets developed by China itself, which is also one of the most advanced launch vehicle systems in the world!

Aerospace technology is one of the important components and symbols of a country's comprehensive strength, and the ability to enter space is an important symbol of comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological strength.

At present, carrier rockets are the only tool for mankind to overcome the earth's gravity and enter space, the cornerstone for developing space technology and ensuring space security, the fundamental guarantee for the rapid deployment, reconstruction, expansion, and maintenance of spacecraft, the carrier for large-scale development and utilization of space resources, an important guarantee for the country's space military strength and military applications, and an important driving force for the development of the national economy and new military reform. Ensuring safe, reliable, fast, economical, and environmentally friendly access to space, promoting the development of space exploration technology, and promoting the process of human civilization are the development goals of the Long March series of carrier rockets, which are China's self-developed space launch vehicles. The Long March carrier rocket started in the 60s of the 20th century, and on April 24, 1970, the "Long March-1" carrier rocket successfully launched a satellite for the first time.

The Long March rocket has a total of 17 models of 4 generations, both retired and active. Five models of Long March 1, Long March 2, Long March 2E, Long March 3 and Long March 4A have been decommissioned, and 12 models are in service for Long March 2C, Long March 2D, Long March 2F, Long March 3A, Long March 3B, Long March 3C, Long March 4B, Long March 4C, Long March 5, Long March 6, Long March 7 and Long March 11. In addition, six models of Long March 5B, Long March 6A, Long March 6X, Long March 7A, Long March 8, and Long March 11A are under development, and one model of Long March 9 is under demonstration.

The Long March rocket has the ability to launch different types of satellites and manned spacecraft in low, medium and high earth orbits, and has the capability of unmanned deep space exploration. The low-Earth orbit (LEO) has a carrying capacity of 14 tons, the sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) has a carrying capacity of 15 tons, and the geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) has a carrying capacity of 14 tons.

The launch vehicle is known as the most brilliant diamond in the crown of modern industry.

Suddenly seeing a carrier rocket here, Li Huan sighed for a long time, and just patted Hannibal: "You wait and behave well, when this thing goes to the sky, maybe your territorial center won't have a chance to perform." ”

"What is this?" Hannibal had never even seen a jeep, and naturally he didn't know about the launch vehicle.

"I'll just tell you this, as long as this thing goes to heaven, I can know what documents you read at home tomorrow. Li Huan sighed: "You don't know how powerful it is, I think I was also tracked by this thing back then, and I can't find where it is, even if I know, I can't beat it, this thing is a nightmare, it's a demon." ”

Li Huan is talking about spy satellites, and he himself has suffered from spy satellites in the Philippines. If it weren't for the network of Citigroup's military bases in Honolulu that Xiao Fei invaded at that time, Li Huan probably wouldn't have found the remains of Traaltai Cootli so smoothly, of course, without Traaltai Cootley's remains, there would be no series of things behind.

The power of spy satellites has not been experienced by the people of this world, but the earthlings have really experienced it.

On February 28, 1959, at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Citigroup, a tall "Cosmic God-Akina A" rocket towered into the clouds, and its cone-shaped tip was the first spy satellite in human history, and Citigroup's spy department called it: "Discoverer 1". When the countdown reached zero, the rocket roared and launched Discoverer 1 into orbit. In October 1960, the "Cosmic God-Aquina-A" took to the blue sky carrying another spy satellite, "Samos". It can make a large number of audio and video recordings in space operations, for example, it flies in orbit over the Soviet Union and China and gathers dozens of times more intelligence than the most sophisticated and knowledgeable spy can gather in a year!

After learning about this, the former Soviet Union, which competed with Citigroup, also launched the "Cosmos" spy satellite in 1962 to conduct high-altitude spy reconnaissance on Citigroup and Canada. By the end of 1982, Citigroup and the Soviet Union had launched 373 and 796 full-time spy satellites respectively, totaling 1,169, and more than 1,000 "super spies" were monitoring every corner of the earth day and night in space at an altitude of several hundred kilometers. Modern technical reconnaissance is mainly space reconnaissance, and space reconnaissance is carried out by using various spy satellites. Such spy satellites mainly include photographic reconnaissance satellites, electronic reconnaissance satellites, maritime surveillance satellites, missile early warning satellites, and nuclear explosion detection satellites.

As the technology of spy satellites has become more and more mature, it has developed from the discovery of the past, that is, from the image that can only judge the presence or absence of a target, such as whether there are ships on the sea surface and whether there are suspicious objects on the ground, to the current ability to identify the features and details on the target. For example, it can indicate the type of aircraft and car, and the type of missile equipped on the ship. Of the four levels, "discover" (see) requires the lowest ground resolution, and "describe" (see) requires the highest ground resolution.

For example, reconnaissance satellites with a resolution of 30 meters can detect large targets such as ports, bases, bridges, highways, or ships sailing on the surface. With a resolution of 3 to 7 meters, it is possible to find radars, small units, missile bases, command posts and other smaller targets. As for the images of Citigroup's most advanced military spy satellites with a resolution of up to 0.01 to 0.05 meters, it is enough to "describe" the model of the gun in the hands of soldiers on the ground and "see" the headlines of newspapers. But sensational reports that Citigroup satellites can see everything on the ground today, such as whether soldiers are shaving, and "seeing" newspaper headlines on the ground are exaggerated. If you want to see (not just "see") newspaper headlines from satellite imagery, you have to have a ground resolution of 0.003 meters, which is not possible at the moment. In addition, imagery satellites can now take pictures vertically downwards, left, right, forward, and backward, so it is easy to take pictures on the sides of vertical objects such as buildings, as well as other places. Relatively speaking, the lighting on the south side of the building is much better than that on the north side, and it is not surprising that satellites can photograph objects in front of the windows on the south side of the house, but due to the limitation of resolution and the influence of window glass, it is still difficult to see the secrets in the south room.

Moreover, spy satellites have the advantages of a wide reconnaissance range, fast flight speed, and few provocative attacks, and the world powers are particularly fond of them and use them as "super spies." For example, more than 70 percent of the current strategic intelligence is obtained through spy satellites. During the Middle East War in October 1973, the United States and the Soviet Union competed to launch satellites to reconnoiter the war situation. Citigroup's spy satellite "Big Bird" took a photo of the Egyptian Second and Third Army Corps having no army fortifications, and quickly reported this information to Israel, and the Israeli armored troops smuggled across the Suez Canal, cutting off the Egyptian army's logistical supply line at once, turning the disadvantage into an advantage. At the same time, the Soviet prime minister also hurriedly flew to Cairo with photos taken by Soviet spy satellites to persuade the Egyptian army to cease fire. During the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina, the Soviet Union and the United States frequently launched spy satellites to closely monitor the war situation in the South Atlantic and to provide satellite photographs of the enemy's military situation to Britain and Argentina respectively. It can be said that the number of spy satellites and the number of launches have become a "barometer" of struggles in the international political, military, and other fields......

This thing, so to speak, is the eye of nightmares in the sky.

At present, the maximum resolution of the effects of various optical photographs is the secret of various countries, but from all kinds of open and semi-public information, many people believe that it is easy for reconnaissance satellites to obtain the number of license plates on the ground, and as for whether they can clearly obtain even the words on the newspaper, there is not enough information to support it. "Is it so powerful? your artillery can't hit it?" said Hannibal.
