From 1519 to 1522, Magellan completed the first circumnavigation of the world in three years.

That was the original history, and the current history has been greatly changed by Liu Xie, and the first circumnavigation of mankind will no longer be Magellan, but Lu Xun Lu Boyan, and it is 1300 years in advance.

Magellan, on the other hand, did not actually complete the circumnavigation of the world, he died halfway through the circumnavigation of the world, followed by his teammates who continued to complete the voyage.

As for whether Lu Xun can successfully complete the round-the-world voyage, then Liu Xie does not know, so he can only wait and see.

Liu Xie asked Lu Su not to blame himself, and said: "This Lu Xun has his own opinions, let's wait and see." ”

Liu Xue said: "Father, originally the son was going to follow Lu Boyan to sail around the world, but Uncle Zijing didn't let me go. ”

Liu Xie asked: "Then you said that Uncle Zijing didn't let you go, did you do the right thing?" ”

Liu Xue shook her head and said, "I don't know, but my father, I was obedient this time, and Uncle Zijing said that he was not allowed to go, so I really didn't go." ”

Liu Xie poked her forehead and said, "In that case, I will reward you." ”

"There is no need for a reward," Liu Xue said, "Father can praise me." ”

"Okay, our Xue'er is the most well-behaved."

"Then the father, if Uncle Zijing wants to sail again, the son still wants to go with him, okay?"

"Good guy, you little girl is ambushing me? Okay, as long as your mother agrees, I will let you go, what do you think? ”

Liu Xie pouted and said, "Huh? Do you want her to say yes? Then she wouldn't have said yes. ”

Liu Xie said: "You see that I have asked for a reward for you, but this time it depends on you." ”

As she was talking, Yan'er also came, and after coming over, the landlord Xue'er cried happily, and Liu Xue was also very sensible, and kept helping her wipe her tears and comfort her.

Liu Xie said: "Yan'er, you baby princess, you haven't enjoyed playing yet, and you want to go again." ”

Yan Er said: "You can't go this time." ”

Lu Su said: "Niangniang, even if you go again, it will take at least a month to prepare." ”

Liu Xue said: "Yes, it will take another month, mother, my daughter will accompany you every day for a month." ”

Lu Su retreated and went on the mission of the next voyage.

On this voyage, although Pang Tong and Lu Su both set sail, they did not come back together, not only did they not come back together, but they also did not come back in the Americas.

It turned out that after Pang Tong arrived in North America, he settled in the local area, lived in harmony with the local residents, and spread the culture of the Han Dynasty, and called for various materials with the local Tu people.

About half a month after Lu Su came back, Pang Tong finally came back. also because the two were not able to be together this time, and the future sailing plan was determined, Pang Tong was only responsible for going to North America, and Lu Su was only responsible for going to South America.

Over the next month, technicians began to design and lay circuits on the warship.

The telegraph was developed to solve the problem of communication over long distances. Next, we started developing phones.

When the telephone was developed, it was already possible to produce wires, and the technicians began to lay circuits in the palace, so Liu Xie no longer had to live in the power generation room, and the line went directly to the palace, and he could connect the printer to the power supply in the palace and print the data directly.

Not only that, but batteries have also been developed.

Watching one modernization project after another being developed, Liu Xie was very happy. With the batteries in hand, he began to put his expedition plans back on the agenda.

R&D in the automotive and train industries takes time, because an oil industry is stumped. Liu Xie took a different path, first began to develop airships, and began to mass-produce airships.

Before the advent of airplanes and anti-aircraft guns, airships would have been a very superior weapon for air combat. And these advanced things are not available in other countries except for the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, after the airship is manufactured, it can fly over the sky of other countries with a swagger.

Therefore, Liu Xie passed on the will to produce and manufacture airships in large quantities, and the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time already had the ability to manufacture airships.

In the summer and June of the 15th year of the Galaxy (203 AD), in the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Xie convened a meeting of the ministers to discuss the expedition.

The voyage of Pang Tong and Lu Su has been decided, and it will take place in fifteen days, this time the two of them will each bring thirty warships, and after arriving at their destination, they will establish a permanent colony, and there will be a comprehensive military and civilian steamship between the Han and the colony every day.

Encourage Han Chinese to colonize the sea.

As for the expedition, Liu Xie pointed to the map and said: "Dongyi, Dongyi Pingding." Yizhou and Zhuya have been surrendered and sent to the Han army. In Beidi, most of the Xianbei tribes have been submitted, and a small number of Xianbei tribes and Jiankun, Ding Ling and other places have not been submitted.

"Xirong, in addition to Qiuzi Guishun, there are also Wusun, Northern Xiongnu, Tang Xuan, Faqiang, and other places that have not returned to Shun.

"Nanban: Shanguo, Fugandulu, Funan, Linyi and other places have not returned to Shun. You say, where do we start? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The minister thinks that I should start with Nanban, because the temperature in Nanban is high, which is very suitable for the cultivation of rubber trees. ”

Liu Xie said: "What Kong Ming said is not unreasonable, but if we go to Nanban like this, wouldn't it be tantamount to invading others?" ”

"Otherwise," Zhuge Liang said, walking to the map and said, "These places are basically tribes, there is no concept of a state at all, we go to invade from time to time, we are spreading culture and more advanced materials." In the dialect world, only the Han people lived, these lands outside the king, sparsely populated, is really a waste of resources, we go to colonize, bring our advanced technology and high-grade items, the local residents will be very grateful. ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "What Kong Ming said is extremely true, then the next step is to start with Nanban." But not yet, I thought about it again and again, and felt that the expedition to Nanban needed to be carried out in two ways, one was land and water, and a large number of warships were built along the coastline of Yangzhou all the way south to reach the Nanban ......"

In Liu Xie's geographical concept, Nanban is not a region in the original history, but starts from the southern frontier of the Han Dynasty and extends to the entire Indochina Peninsula, bordering Wanli Shitang in the east, the Indian Ocean in the west, and the Nanyang Islands in the south.

Liu Xie said: "The sailors passed by sea, and the second way was for cavalry and airships to go to Nanban by land and air at the same time. Go in a three-dimensional cross way, everyone, this is the only way my Han has ever set out! ”

Listening to Liu Xie's introduction, all the ministers were full of emotion, and they couldn't wait to start such a shocking feat immediately.

Liu Xie said: "But not yet, a lot of equipment has not yet caught up, I need a large number of airships, so I decided to start a large-scale southern expedition in the spring of next year!" ”
