Chapter 424: The Long Voyage

Because of the existence of the Soviet Union, Li Yuanjing naturally doesn't have to worry too much about language.

Soon, the landing force came with news that was enough to make Li Yuanjing excited.

According to the interrogation of the captives, there are many strange mines of all kinds, and there is a particularly strange mountain.

When I looked into the daylight, I noticed that there were often golden flashes on it.

And in the early years, many natives liked to pick up some there.

It's just that it's useless, so it's not uncommon for everyone to come later, but here, they occasionally pick up some and make them into mascots to wear.

The natives don't know this thing, but it doesn't mean that Tang Jun doesn't know it.

Isn't this gold?

After special inquiry, it was learned that the mountain is located in the southeast about seven days away.

They have also seen coal mines, and occasionally found that this thing can ignite, and it is very resistant to burning.

So, in the winter, it was lit in the house.

Naturally, there is no need to think about it, now Coal is described here as a god of death, and anyone who enjoys his warmth will definitely not survive the next day.

Regarding this result, Li Yuanjing was a little crying and laughing.

It seems that everyone has a deep misunderstanding about coal mines......

"The fleet lands, we go to trade with some tribes, we can exchange cloth, daily necessities, and even weapons from them for coal and gold!" Li Yuanjing laughed and laughed.

“???” Fang Yiai looked at Li Yuanjing with a bewildered expression, and subconsciously said, "Don't you kill it?" ”

"That's right! Didn't you kill the unforgiving? Cheng Chuliang also said depressedly.

"The general swayed from side to side, this is a taboo for soldiers!" Changsun Chong added.

"Not necessarily, at this moment, it is not easy for our army to move troops in a big way!" Du He, who had been relatively silent all the way, couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Huh? Du Er was stunned, what do you mean? Seems like you're very capable, right? Cheng Chuliang frowned and glared at Du He.

Although this guy was also with them before, but since Du Ruhui's death, the contact between them has decreased a lot.

And not only that, in the past few years, Du He has been immersed in the study of fertilizers, and the whole person has also been closed a lot.

Although this society is not progressing fast, I still have to admit that Duhe has been out of touch with the whole society.

Over time, Du He never took the initiative to play with them, nor did he go into battle with them.

You can't play together, you can't talk about it, so what's the play?

The feelings of the fathers have actually been very weak in their generation, especially in the past few years, Du He's experience of living in a simple place.

"It's not that he is very capable, but that you are too stupid!" Li Yuanjing didn't have a good airway.

In comparison, he is more optimistic about Du He because of these people, although he has become a little stuffy because of the loss of his father.

But I still have to admit that it is precisely because of the experience of the past few years that Du He has opened up the gap with these people in some aspects.

Of course, in terms of being alone, none of these people are good now, and they are all straw bales.

"What if you don't have mercy? This battle has already established the prestige of this king, if this king wants to talk at this time, who of them dares not to give face? If this king were to exchange these things for things they had never seen before, including weapons, who would dare not be impressed? ”

"It's not false to fight, but at this moment it's really not suitable for us to make a big move, it's been a year since we left Datang, and no one knows how many roads to go next, but this king can be sure that this is still the king's sphere of influence, maybe a few more months forward, it will be your place?

So, it's important to get supplies as soon as possible and get out of here to find the way forward. Li Yuanjing explained.

"Like, as long as we draw this place on the route, why not lend it to them for a few years first? Won't all the things they come up with by then be ours? I really don't know what you guys are in a hurry? Cheng Chuliang pointed at a few people and criticized them.

"You're ......"

Immediately, several people fought shamelessly.

Anyway, Li Yuanjing is used to it, and he didn't count on these people at the beginning anyway.

Anyway, I came out with them this time, in fact, I was planning to find them a place to live.

Since North America is its own, then give South America to them?

Li Yuanjing knew very well in his heart that he couldn't become a fat man by eating in one go.

Therefore, the first priority at the moment is to get Alaska, as long as it can gain a foothold in Alaska, the places that are marked on the map can be fully covered in a few years.

Frankly speaking, after the fleet arrived in Alaska, Li Yuanjing's mission on this trip was completed.

Because there is no challenge at all in the rest of the voyage, only along the continental shelf all the way south, at this time there is no Panama Canal, North and South America are connected.

When you get to the northernmost part of South America, just change your direction to the west.

The only thing to worry about is that this section of the road from South America to Oceania cannot be completed with their current reserve capacity, so they have to find a way to build more transport ships.

This task Li Yuanjing has long been distributed, and the only answer at present is to connect several ships together, which can provide a larger cargo capacity, not one plus one plus one equals three, and the result may be equal to four.

But in any case, that's all for later.

Now, Li Yuanjing probably knows where they are.

Although I don't have a GPS and I don't have an exact map, I just rely on these descriptions and the distance I traveled.

Li Yuanjing roughly judged that they were now located between the north-central regions of western North America, and the specific location was likely to be San Francisco later.

Because the symbol of San Francisco is very special, it is a huge mountain of gold, and during the gold rush, it attracted many people to come, and the name of the year was the new gold mountain.

San Francisco is here, but is it still far from Los Angeles?

When you arrive in Los Angeles, don't you just run to the southern part of North America?

That is, in two to three months, they will go into South America, and then they will be able to visit the whole of America in about two to three months, and then they can start sailing westward, and then they will reach Oceania after about three or four months.

In other words, if they kept sailing, they would need to sail for almost a year before they could return to Datang.

Considering the supply problem, even if it is faster, it will take two years, and it will take three years to take this trip, which is really unbelievable in the past.

However, in addition to these problems, Li Yuanjing has developed a strong interest in certain crops on land.

Potatoes and corn were dug up directly from the fields by the soldiers according to Li Yuanjing's explanation.
