"Are the savages over there easy to deal with? Have you ever had any trouble! Wang Lang asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the savages over there are more ferocious than the people on the grassland, they don't pose a threat to us, but the weather over there is very cold, and the woods are full of white snow, which adds a lot of difficulty to the arrest operation." The soldier replied respectfully.

"It's snowing a lot over there?"

The soldier shook his head, "It didn't snow in the days we arrived, but it was very windy, and as long as the wind blew, the real world turned white. ”

Wang Lang listened to the soldier's story, while analyzing the climate characteristics of this world in his mind, a few months ago, the Ministry of Rites observed the shortest day of the day, that is, the winter solstice, here is the tropics and the temperature difference is not too big, thinking that when Shiyue and they arrived in the north, it was just in time for the coldest time of winter.

It took the army more than three months to get there from Yancheng, removing the time wasted in building strongholds during the journey, and with Shiyue's ability, they marched at least more than 20 kilometers a day, that is to say, the snowfield in the north was at least about a thousand kilometers away from here.

More than 1,000 kilometers sounds abstract, but if you compare the map, it is almost as far as Beijing to Hangzhou.

It is definitely not an easy thing to deploy materials from such a long distance, but fortunately, the previous supply station was built in the northeast direction, if it is reasonably arranged, it is the most reasonable way to concentrate the materials in the stronghold built in the north and hoard them, and then transport them to Shiyue in batches.

After the soldier finished speaking, he saw that Wang Lang was frowning and thinking for a long time, and he was a little at a loss for a while, so he could only stand there awkwardly and look at each other.

Wang Lang raised his head and looked at these soldiers, and said, "You guys go back and rest first, the family will go home in Yancheng and take a look, and it's not too late to rest for a few days." ”

"More Your Majesty, the ministers will retire!" It was the soldier who bowed and saluted, and slowly withdrew.

After these people left, Wang Lang got up and came to the square table, and spread the simple map of the Xia Kingdom that he had drawn earlier on the table.

I roughly measured the distance between the cities, estimated the location of the stronghold and the northern jungle, and pointed a black dot in two places, marking it as Stronghold 1 and Stronghold 2 respectively.

"Tropical, temperate, so here is near the equator."

Wang Lang drew a line of dotted lines near Yancheng and marked on the side that this might be the equator.

Looking at this map, he was puzzled, and now he was almost sure that he was near the equator, and he had the impression that the large land near the equator was Africa and South America.

But South America is also not very realistic, and it is impossible for Brazil to have grasslands in the tropical jungles, unless there is a pampas near Antarctica, but it is a temperate zone, which does not correspond to the situation here at all.

At present, Africa is the most likely, but there is one thing he can't figure out, if it is really Africa, then there is no need for dinosaur people to sail here.

I don't know what's wrong with this world, so that the dinosaurs are still alive and well in this world, but human beings have evolved to this extent, even if this is another earth, it will not be too different from the evolution process of humans in another world.

Even tens of thousands of years ago, hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was not much difference between the continental plate and the future.

Thinking about it this way, if it was really Africa, the dinosaur people could have come from the land through the Middle East, and if that were the case, the dinosaur people on this continent would have been rampant a long time ago, and they would not have come to this world for so long and not even seen a living dinosaur man.

The place I am in is like a lost continent isolated from the world, and it does not border any continent.

Wang Lang grabbed his hair, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, leaned back in his chair, looked at the roof blankly, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that there are other continents in this world besides the seven continents, if this is the case, even if this is the earth, this world is really too strange to me." ”

Sighing and not thinking about these things, he rubbed his temples, looked at the map in front of him again, and thought about how to transport supplies.

Three days later, the cavalry that had returned to deliver the message headed for the north.

Just after these cavalry left, Mu Feng left with the team transporting supplies, and before leaving, he specially asked Wang Lang for a way to make ice, this kind of cold ice cube made him very fond of it.

The long transport procession was guarded by fifty elite soldiers, and the speed of the march on the paved road was very fast.

After refurbishing the vehicles at the first supply depot, continue on the road.

The team transporting materials did not arouse the slightest interest of the people of Yancheng at all, and in the slack season, the idle farmers would always call some acquaintances to go to the river to catch some fish and shrimp to come out, take advantage of the cool night, drink a few glasses of wine, sing some songs with strange tones, boast to each other about their glorious deeds, and say some gossip that they don't know where they heard it, which also adds a lot of spice to the busy life.

Wang Lang came to his small courtyard and saw Fanxing and his other two big-bellied concubines, who were leading the two-year-old Wang Lan to watch Wang He practice archery.

Seeing Wang Lang coming, the three of them got up and saluted Wang Lang.

"Father!"

Wang Lan, who was already able to walk, swayed towards Wang Lang.

Wang Lang smiled and hugged him up, teasing.

"Lan'er, are you naughty today!" Wang Lang said softly.

Wang Lan shook his head and said, "Lan listened to his mother very much today. ”

"Lan'er, so good!" Wang Lang rubbed Wang Lan's pink face with his beard, causing the little girl to giggle.

Wang Lang hugged Wang Lan and sat on the chair to watch Wang He's archery.

Wang Lang's arrival immediately cheered up Wang He, knowing that his father was watching him from behind, and tried his best to pull the bamboo bow full of strings, but because of his small size and weak strength, his face was flushed and he pulled the general apart by about seventy percent.

Staring at the target in front of you, "Whoosh! With a bang, the arrow flew out softly, and stuck crookedly on the target.

Looking at the non-lethal arrow he shot, Wang He's face suddenly flushed with shame, turned around, and bowed to Wang Lang worriedly, saying, "Father, the child has disappointed his father." ”

Wang Lang smiled and said: "What am I disappointed, isn't this arrow already on target, you have already shot very well, now what you lack is strength, you are still young now, there is no need to worry about this matter, just take your time." ”

I thought that Wang Lang was going to criticize himself, but I didn't expect it to be words of praise, which suddenly made Wang He overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The child will definitely work hard." ”
