Chapter 515: The Eighteenth Parallel

After subduing the descendants of the Chu people and establishing the Savage Special Zone, the Mekong's most formidable ultra-long and dangerous shoal has become a desirable thoroughfare, and not only that, it will surely become a holy place for tourism and cultural exchanges.

After the general arrangements were made, Mai Ke continued to go north, and Xiong Xin, Xiang Ding and other leaders of the Special Administrative Region who trusted the SAR also handed over the follow-up work here to their trusted deputies and followed Mai Ke together.

This will be a place for them to show their talents in the future, of course, they must first familiarize themselves, and they must also implement it with Mai Ke, which areas belong to the Special Economic Zone, so that they can be sure.

The 1,000 men who participated in the ambush of the big ship at the earliest, half of them were left to guard the base area, and the other 500 went north with the big ship.

Just now, the chaplaincy group organized by Gavin has arrived, led by Gavin himself, and Mai Ke has been busy giving them a lesson and meeting with everyone, and then Mai Ke will continue to teach other courses, but it will be carried out remotely through the movement of the spirit.

In terms of natural conditions, from the central part to Savannakhet, the river is narrower and the current is extremely fast, but because there is no wild trouble, but with the full cooperation of the leader of the wild special district, it is quite easy.

The things that are done by the coolies are all covered by Lingxi, so Mai Ke basically has nothing to do, just insist on teaching those priests, and then further teach Xiong Xin and Xiang Ding how to manage an economy well.

In addition to calling Xiang Ding a brother and sister, Da Niu found an opportunity to fight with Xiang Ding again; They shook the big ship to the ground, but it was still a dead end.

Then the two moved the battlefield of the competition to the water - the big cow that looks like a landlubber also has deep water kung fu, and the two of them are like white stripes in the waves in the turbulent river.

However, in the end, Xiang Ding was immersed in the water for a longer time, and he still won a move after the last move; Da Niu simply admitted defeat, but proposed to compete again in the air.

Xiang Ding was not knowing how to make a move in the air, and the big bull had already taken off with his own mountain eagle and waited in mid-air. Only then did he know the truth. It turned out to be riding a bird of prey and fighting each other in the air.

Being for themselves no raptor can ride. A friend of Da Niu's guards took the initiative to lend his mount to Xiang Ding.

Heavenly, it was the first time for Xiang Ding, he looked nervous, and his hands tightly grasped the handle on the eagle's back. But the fighting hand is gone!

Look at the nervous look he looks. The big cow laughed. Saying that you are not an opponent at all in a fight in the sky, this game is really not a victory, and it is recommended to count it as a draw.

Xiang Ding was willing to take advantage of this. Insist that this game is a big bull to win.

After finally settling accounts, the two are still evenly divided.

After everyone talked and laughed at the dangerous shoals, the northern route of the Savage Special Zone was officially opened, reaching the uniform standard of the entire Mekong River.

Originally, this was not the location of the fourth east-west horizontal line, but because this was the focus of the Savage Special Zone, Mai Ke deliberately opened a small east-west horizontal trunk, but the things were only eleven kilometers away from the river bank, which happened to include the Special Zone.

Continuing north from Savannakhet, this waterway can meet the needs of navigation with little additional workload, so everyone goes north until the 18th parallel.

Around this parallel, the Mekong River flows from west to east, from the border between Lao Vortex and Siam in the west, all the way to the Lao Siam border in the east, passing through the royal city of Vientiane in the old vortex, and most of the river is close to the Lao Siam border in the east-west direction.

Mai Ke is quite dissatisfied with this section of the river, and he wants to make a big move!

Mai Ke carefully studied the current situation of this section of the river, and felt that it was probably due to the sharp contradictions between the original countries, which led to the fact that the simple curved river course could not be corrected, and even the originally straight river channel was artificially transformed into a curved shape due to the conflict of interests.

Now that there are no restrictions on these different countries, only the kingdom of heaven has the control to manage the rivers, all for the glory of God, and can adjust them according to the ideal state!

And with the help of Lingxi, there is no need to worry about the huge labor required to change the river.

Therefore, Mai Ke drove the big boat to the old Siamese border city of Ban Pen, and directly opened up a new river channel from here to serve as the main road of the Mekong River in the future, and the first section of the river went from Ban Peng to Vientiane, cutting across the original triangle between Siam and Lao Whirlpool.

Then it went west from Vientiane to Ba Chun, and then westward, directly connected with the Mekong River to Chiang Kan, and cut off the river that originally flowed south from here and diverted it to the main road to Vientiane.

The successful transformation of this section of the river has turned the Mekong River, which was originally close to the old Siamese border, into a straight channel that coincides with the 18th parallel.

However, Mai Keh did not stop changing the old course of the river, he continued to open his way westward, along the 18th parallel, through Fata, Ban Mae Darui, then about the original Siam-Burma border, to close the Salween River, and continue westward in the former Burmese territory, and then to the Sitang River, and then directly to the Bengal Gulf on the Burmese border.

After completing the expansion of the western end, Mai Ke turned his head and returned to Ban Peng, where the big ship had stayed, and from here, he dug a river along the eighteenth parallel to the east.

This river first annexed a large river in the territory of Lao Whirlpool, the Nantun River, and then crossed the Changshan Mountains with the momentum of swallowing bullfighting, from here it crossed the original border of Annam, and then crossed the south of Ha Tinh Province to the coast of Beibu Gulf.

After Mai Ke transformed this east-west horizontal main line, he deliberately went to the sky with Feng Yunshan, Zhu Bajie, Gu Jizhi, Mei Han and others to browse at a high altitude, and everyone was very satisfied.

Also accompanied by Xiong Xin and Xiang Ding, who were supposed to stay there after completing the construction of the northern end of the Savage Special Zone, or return to the middle section, but both of them continued to stay on the grounds of learning more.

In Mai Ke's opinion, it is true that they want to learn, but the main purpose is to satisfy their curiosity, after all, they have seen more new things in a day today than they have known in a lifetime, and they are not willing to miss this opportunity!

Then, as always, Maike carried out the connection of the water network and waterways, and added three major factors to each water network, namely the river of life, the orchard of the four seasons, and the power and telecommunications.

In addition to this one having the same things as the other main lines, Mai Ke has added something new to the realm of the original vortex - a large area of rice fields.

These rice paddies only started from here, and will continue until the last east-west main river, which is close to the junction of Lao Whirlpool, Siam and Daqing.

Mai Ke expects that there will be a bit of a headache there, because many places are intertwined with the land of the border provinces of the Qing Dynasty, and not only are many places difficult to figure out, but even if they are clear, they need to be negotiated and adjusted for the sake of a relatively straight river.

Mai Ke has prepared several plans and is quite confident about solving the problem smoothly! (To be continued......
