Zhang Feng touched the umbrella in his bag, felt much more at ease, and continued to walk towards the Cape of Good Hope.

With the audience's eager anticipation, Zhang Feng also arrived at the Cape of Good Hope.

"This is the legendary end of the sky, the corner of the sea, not the end of the sea and the south."

[Praise is dead! 】

[I always thought it was a horn!] 】

[Anchor, light the lamp and go to the lighthouse! ] 】

……

"Don't panic, take your time, listen to me in detail, sometimes, it's very interesting to say these things, it's up to you to listen to it, start with myself."

[Say, the tea has been brewed, and we are all idle now!] 】

[Get off work early, don't be in a hurry. 】

……

"Then I said, when I was studying history in middle school, I thought the name Cape of Good Hope was very peculiar, and I never forgot it. The so-called "never forget, there will be repercussions", finally came. ”

[Wow, the heavy rain is coming, be careful in the live broadcast! ] 】

[It's terrifying! 】

……

The camera also shook a few times, and Zhang Feng hurriedly took out the umbrella.

At this moment, the rain is pouring down, and the wind is so wild that it can almost sweep people into the sea.

But no one hesitated, and everyone braved the storm to the reef by the sea and looked into the distance. Everyone wants to see this cape where the fleet of Dias, the "father of the Cape of Good Hope", arrived more than 500 years ago, and also want to feel the ambition and pride of human beings at that time to explore the unknown world.

"Okay, I can't hear clearly, I'm a little louder."

[It's okay, stop until the sound of the rain and the thief is stable. 】

[Anchors pay attention to safety! ] 】

[Anchor, hard work, send you some gifts, hehe. 】

……

"The Cape of Good Hope is not the southernmost point of the African continent, nor is it the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The true southernmost point and the dividing point between the two oceans is Cape Agulas, about 200 kilometres southeast of the Cape of Good Hope, but it is an important marker on the long voyage from the west to the east, and an important supply stopover. Zhang Feng said loudly.

"Do you hear clearly?"

[Clear and clear, very good, no problem with the sound quality!] 】

[The anchor continues, I forgot a lot of things, let's talk about it! ] 】

……

"Then I'll continue, just talking about the transit station...... Well, in 1486, in search of a sea passage to the East, the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu-Dias set out from Lisbon with a fleet. Their fleet had already rounded the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulas, and if they continued northward, they might reach India, but the fleet was exhausted and the crew was exhausted, refusing to continue and returning home. However, on their way back, the sea was stormy and rough, and it was estimated that it was about the same as it is now, and then the whole fleet was almost annihilated. Finally, the waves pushed the surviving ships onto a nameless headland. Dias then named the place "Cape of the Storm". ”

But at this time, the wind was already a little strong, and Zhang Feng had to retreat and find a reef that slightly blocked the wind to stabilize his umbrella.

[Be careful with the anchor, can you go to the observation deck?] 】

……

"Wherever you go, you feel less!" Zhang Feng smiled, although his face was already full of rain. ”

Ten years later, another Portuguese explorer, Vasco de Gama, led a fleet around Cape Storm into the Indian Ocean and then sailed to India via the Arabian Peninsula. Not only did De Gama return to Portugal laden with gold, silk and spices, but he also became the first man in history to reach India by sea from Europe. Because this cape represents the hope of reaching the golden land of the East, King John II of Portugal renamed "Cape Storm" to "Cape of Good Hope".

However, the Cape of Good Hope was one of the most dangerous seafaring areas in the world at the time, with strong winds and seas almost all year round. Waves can be as high as 5.6 meters high and as strong as 15 meters or more, and the waves are like cliffs, and countless ships have been destroyed. Perhaps, like Sinbad, after living and dying with the sea, he has no intention of enjoying the peace and wealth on the land, or perhaps as an explorer, he always has his lifelong obsession, and Dias has never forgotten his original intention of sailing.

By 1500, he had set out for India again with a fleet of ships, and when he reached the Cape of Good Hope again, he encountered a great storm. Dias was eventually buried in this sea, with a sense of fate. ”

"Let's remember that he pursued his dreams after all, and purely honored his spirit of crossing the oceans."

Although there have been many thrilling stories that have taken place here, and mankind has written a strong mark in the history of this place, the Cape of Good Hope is extraordinarily simple under its fame. On the beach in front of the headland jutting out into the sea stands a nondescript half-man-tall wooden sign with simple latitude and longitude, and "Cape of Good Hope" written in English and Afrikaans, for a commemorative photo.

The storm passed, although the rain was still falling, Zhang Feng also took the audience around.

[Why isn't there even a sculpture?] 】

[This...... One lap ......】

The simplicity here surprised the audience. I thought there would be a majestic monument or a statue of Dias. Of course, Zhang Feng really felt the meaning of Dias's naming "Storm Point".

Everyone was staggered by the wind mixed with rain and seawater, and it was difficult for them to move forward. It's almost impossible to pose and take pictures, and the camera can't hold it steadily. Even so, everyone was very excited.

"Haha, so a lot of places are different from what you think, you must go out, go out, see, really." Zhang Feng said with a serious face.

ZHANG FENG THEN CLIMBED TO THE "POINT DE CAP", A LIGHTHOUSE BUILT IN 1860 ON A 289-METER CLIFF. Although there is a cable car, Zhang Feng still chooses to climb to the top in the wind and rain, because in this place, Zhang Feng's heart spontaneously has a passion, feeling that his body and spirit are full of strength, and the past laziness is swept away.

[Anchor, there's a cable car! ] 】

[That's it, it's raining so heavily, what if you get gonorrhea, brother! ] 】

[Anchor, you just did it. 】

……

"I want to take risks, I want to do brave things, I want to go higher and farther. In comparison, the 289-meter climb is not worth mentioning. Zhang Feng's face with water droplets was written with undoubted firmness.

Countless viewers have a feeling of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, many of them involuntarily blushed at the screen, and some thin-skinned people directly gave gifts to reduce the guilt in their hearts.

[Hehe, anchor, I appreciate your spirit. 】

[The anchor is amazing! 】

[Come on, visually inspect a few hundred meters!] 】
