Di Wei explained excitedly: "Boss Xiao, the white-sided dolphin, it's the white-sided dolphin, the white-sided dolphin is pregnant! When we gave them a routine test just now, we found that 'Yuanyuan' was pregnant." ”

That's right, this pair of last white-sided dolphins has the most Chinese names 'Tuan Tuan' and 'Yuanyuan'! No matter what kind of animal it is, as long as it is an official name, as long as it is a one-to-one pair, there must be a name for it.

Xiao Peng looked indifferent: "Isn't this normal? The white-sided dolphin is in estrus twice a year, from March to May and August to October, and they should have babies at this time next year." ”

"But!" Di Wei said with excitement on his face: "We all know that this pair of white-sided dolphins is infertile!

Xiao Peng didn't look at him, peeled the gooseneck barnacles, and said while eating: "Hey, of course I know that they are infertile, otherwise why would they send me here?

Di Wei was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his thumb to Xiao Peng: "It turns out that you did the white-sided dolphin's pregnancy, it's amazing." After speaking, he turned around and fled from Xiao Peng's courtyard.

"It's a trifle。。。。。。 If you come back, I promise not to kill you!" Xiao Peng reacted to Di Wei's words, let this kid play a trick!

。。。。。。。

Academician Liu wanted to discuss with Xiao Peng and bring the pregnant Yuanyuan back to the Institute of Zoology, after all, there was more delicate care, Xiao Peng only said one sentence and gave up his thoughts: "If you want its offspring to be born healthy, let them stay here." ”

Academician Liu is convinced of this, and now Academician Liu almost treats Xiao Peng as a god, how many years has the Institute of Zoology studied the infertile white-sided dolphin to Qianliyan not long before she became pregnant, and then think about the living state of the unity of animals and humans on Qianliyan, well, it is impossible to say that Xiao Peng is the god of animals, who made Xiao Peng 'Samuel'?

This is more ridiculous, the more you engage in scientific research, the easier it is to believe in the gods, the reason is very simple, when you engage in scientific research, many things cannot be explained by science, and in the end you can only choose to believe in the gods. It's like Newton, the great scientist who was smashed all over the head by an apple, and after making gravity, he devoted himself to the study of theology。。。。。。

Xiao Peng took a large bucket to feed milk to the pets on the island, after having cows, there is really no shortage of milk on the island, not only people drink it, but these little ones also like to drink it. However, Xiao Peng was obviously not in a good mood and was a little absent-minded.

"Hey, what do you want?" Yang Meng walked over with a bucket of milk, looked at Xiao Peng in a daze, and asked.

Xiao Peng sighed: "Why do you say that people are so cheap? When I was outside, I thought it was better to be at home, but when I stayed at home, I wanted to run outside." Especially every time I come back, there are countless worries, and it's really not as comfortable as going outside to play. ”

When Yang Meng heard this, he also came to his senses: "Otherwise, let's go fishing." I'm choking enough on the island, and I want to go out and have fun. ”

Xiao Peng shook his head: "Now in this season of fishing, it is easy to encounter typhoons. ”

"Then what do you want to do? Go on a trip? Don't you all say that life should have a trip that you can just go?" Yang Meng was pouring milk in the rice bowl of the baby Bali tiger, and the four little tigers grew rapidly, and now they can grow more than half a meter long.

"A trip to go?" Xiao Peng heard Yang Meng's words and fell into deep thought.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yang Meng asked

。

Xiao Peng ran back to the room, and after a while, he dragged a box and ran out. looked at Yang Meng standing there stunned: "What are you still doing in a daze? Pack up your clothes! Go to the warehouse and move to the 'Guo Chuan' on the whole time, let's leave." ”

"Huh?" Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng dumbfounded: "What kind of moth are you going to do here?"

"Do you want to go on a trip?" Xiao Peng said.

"It's the grandson who doesn't go!" Yang Meng said and went back to pack his clothes.

Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng to stuff the refrigerator on the boat to the brim, and he explained to Geng Le to let him take care of his home. After saying hello to their families, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng set sail directly and left Qianliyan.

"Hey, Xiao Peng, you have to tell me, where are we going?" Yang Meng's voice floated from the sky. Well, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is in the sky, Yang Meng is climbing on the top of the mast to do inspection and maintenance. You can't swim while sailing, because after all, there are life jackets. But you must not be afraid of heights, because the mast and sail are the lifeblood of the sailboat, and the mast must be checked from time to time when sailing, and the mast of the 'Guo Chuan' can be 60 feet high, which is the height of a six-story building. Therefore, when sailing, you must have a crew member who is not afraid of heights.

Xiao Peng was adjusting the headsail, and after listening to Yang Meng's question, Xiao Peng grinned: "How about we take a trip to the Maritime Silk Road?"

China's 'Maritime Silk Road' has a long history, from the formation of the Qin and Han dynasties, to the heyday of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and then a little bit of decline, and then again brilliant.

In the "Book of Han - Geographical Chronicles", it is recorded that there were maritime communication routes at that time, carrying 'miscellaneous', that is, silk exported overseas, and China in BC had two starting routes from the East China Sea and the South China Sea, do not forget that southern China is the birthplace of the Austronesian race, called the Baiyue nation in the pre-Qin period, and is one of the most widely distributed ethnic groups in the world, they have excellent sailing experience and adventurous spirit, and their footprints are all over the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Now New Zealand, Hawaii, Madagascar have their descendants distributed. In the pre-Qin period, trading ports were established in what is now Guangzhou and Xuwen, which also laid the foundation for the formation of the Silk Road in the future.

And at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Silk Road on the sea was really formed and began to develop, during the Western Han Dynasty, the sea and land between Nanyue and the Indian Peninsula have been opened, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, the scale of maritime trade was broadened, and the "Maritime Silk Road" officially emerged, according to historical records, the route at that time departed from Xuwen Hepu, entered the Malay Peninsula, the Gulf of Siam, and the Bay of Bengal through the South China Sea to Sri Lanka.

Later in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the sea road was further developed, in the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Wu in order to fight with Cao Wei and Liu Shu, and actively develop the navy, at that time Sun Wu's shipbuilding industry has been leading the world: the hull is large, the keel structure is of high quality, and at the same time, Sun Wu's silk manufacturing industry has far exceeded the level and scale of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, a coastal route was opened, and Guangzhou became the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, passing through the South China Sea, directly through the sea surface of the Xisha Islands to the South China Sea countries, through the Strait of Malacca, and sailing directly to the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf, and foreign trade involved up to 15 countries and regions!

We often watch the Internet, in which the protagonist travels to the Tang Dynasty, and develops the navy to go to the Ryukyus and Taiwan Island to grab grain, and goes to the South China Sea to find the spice island, in fact, there is a big loophole in this, because before the Tang Dynasty, our hard-working and intelligent ancestors had gone to the Red Sea to play. Not to mention those network mentions

What about the small islands of South Asia?

However, one thing is true, that is, the Sui and Tang dynasties were indeed the prosperous period of the Maritime Silk Road, and Guangzhou had become the largest port in China and a world-famous port city in the East. The route to the countries of the Persian Gulf through the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean was already the longest ocean route in the world at that time. If before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Maritime Silk Road was only a supplementary form of the land Silk Road, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, due to the continuous wars in the Western Regions, the Maritime Silk Road has replaced the land Silk Road and become the main channel for China's foreign exchanges. At that time, this route was called 'Guangzhou Tonghaiyi Road', which was the earliest name of China's Maritime Silk Road. At that time, the main commodities exported to the outside world were silk, porcelain, and tea, while the main imports were spices, flowers and plants, and some rare treasures for the court to enjoy. This situation continued into the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Due to the obvious improvement of navigation and shipbuilding technology in the Song Dynasty, the compass began to be widely used, the long-distance navigation ability of Chinese merchant ships was greatly enhanced, and private maritime trade was also greatly developed with the encouragement of the government.

It was not until the 15th to 18th centuries that Europeans carried out a series of global maritime expansions, ushering in the Age of Discovery. At that time, maritime commerce was often accompanied by the smoke of war and armed robbery. Just like the famous Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean, more than 60 large ships about 70 meters long and 20 meters wide are invincible at sea. At that time, the king of Sri Lanka asked Zheng He for tolls, so Zheng He was directly arrested and sent back to Kyoto as a mascot。。。。。。 At that time, China also had a route from Guangzhou to Latin America, starting from Guangzhou, passing through Macao to the Philippines, crossing the San Bernardino Strait into the Pacific Ocean, and eastward into the Mexican coast. So far, the Maritime Silk Road reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty through the development of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties.

However, since then, due to the government's implementation of the maritime ban policy, Guangzhou has become the only open trade outline of the Chinese Maritime Silk Road, and the trade of Guangzhou has achieved greater development, forming an unprecedented global large-cycle trade, which has continued and maintained until the eve of the Opium War. It was not until the outbreak of the Opium War that China lost its sea power and became a semi-colony of the Western powers, and the coastal ports were forced to open up, becoming a market for Western dumping commodities and plundering China's resources.

However, since the establishment of New China, the progress of science and technology, and the development of China's ocean-going shipping industry, China's ocean-going trade ships have now traveled all over the world! Xiao Peng's idea is to re-walk along the Maritime Silk Road.

Yang Meng climbed down from the mast: "Take the Maritime Silk Road, don't you still want to go to the United States?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "I have already thought about it, walk around the Cape of Good Hope, go around Africa, cross the Atlantic, and arrive in the United States." By the time we finish this lap, there will be more than enough time. How's it going, is the mast okay?"

Yang Meng washed his hands with seawater: "No problem, everything is normal." ”

"Okay, hoist the mainsail and go full throttle!Hehe, why am I still a little excited?" Xiao Peng smiled.

Yang Meng was speechless and said: "Hey, I'm excited, the last time we came back from Ukraine, we also walked through this channel, didn't we?"

Xiao Peng showed a mysterious expression: "This time is different, the treasures under the sea are beckoning to us!"

That's right, this is Xiao Peng's main purpose: that is, the shipwrecks of the Maritime Silk Road for so many years, which are full of wealth!
