Less than three days, David? The shipment of arms and other cargo that Charles needed was loaded and ready to return to Port Flanders.

The slime himself brought some people and organized a small fleet.

On the way back, David? Charles refused to ride the galleys in his fleet------ they were too dirty, too small and too slow compared to the Oriental seafarers!

David? What Charles felt most about Liberty Island was the cleanliness there.

My God, only those who have lived in a clean place for a while will understand how important cleanliness is to man!

David? Charles sincerely said to the slime:

"I see------ why you didn't live in Count Quy's mansion in the first place, and you didn't eat there, but you had to live on your own ship, and you had to eat on your own ship!

Compared with your life, our life is ------, and when I return, I will rebuild the house in the same way as your governor's palace. ”

The slime smiled and didn't say anything.

Is Liberty Island a good place to be?

He hadn't been to Badao River City before!

In retrospect, it was the best place in the world------

None of the people who have ever traveled on Oriental vessels, especially passenger and cargo vessels, are willing to choose any other type of seagoing vessel.

The 3,000-ton five-masted passenger and cargo vessel can carry 800 passengers at its limit and achieve continuous navigation without stopping at the coast for two months.

Under normal circumstances, there is no need for this, people in this time and space, as long as they live comfortably, their sense of time is not so strong.

In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there was once an official who wanted to go to the Dali area to recover the shortly before he became an official, he was an old-fashioned figure, and he actually walked for nearly a year in a sedan chair carried by two people before he arrived in Dali!

When the news was reported in the Times, many people laughed dumbly.

What does it feel like to be gone for a year?!

Therefore, sailing on a sea ship for half a year is not only the experience of maritime merchants------ it is already a normal experience to spend two months on a sea ship and go south to Australia slowly.

Of course, there are still dangers at sea------ a few decades ago, two or three percent of the ships that sailed away could not return, but then slowly became one or two percent, and now, there is a maximum accident rate of five percent.

After all, with the increase in the number and number of ocean-going vessels, with the help of the compass, sextant, barometer and new methods of speed and bathymetry, the hydrological data of various major sea areas have become more and more abundant, and some dangerous areas have long been remembered by the captains of various ocean-going ships.

Of course, the world charts that appear out of thin air also help a lot, although some small places do not correspond to reality, such as the location of the estuaries of the continent marked on them is often not accurate, and the difference of tens of kilometers may be possible------ especially some rivers, which are often in the wrong direction.

But, in general, it's good!

In this way, slowly developing, the information on each major route is becoming more and more abundant.

Now the route from the port of Qingdao in the Shandong region to the Badaohe River, to the port of Manila, to the port of Hekou in Borneo, then to the port of Batavia, and then directly to the port of Marbury in the Tianzhu region is now a main route.

Under normal circumstances, including stops along the way, a voyage can be completed in three to five months.

The route from Badaohe to Australia is a separate route, but it is now becoming a hotline.

This sub-route is more sea-going than the sub-route from Port Marbury to the Nankai region.

However, at present, the number of seagoing vessels sailing on the route from Australia to the northward route of Nanyindianzhou, and the route from Tianci Port in the Nankai region to Liberty Island is still very small.

As for the route from the silver area of South Yindianzhou to the port of Hawaii and back to the Badao River, it is currently only used by the sea vessels of the Yindianan Group.

It's not that others don't know about this route, it's not that this route is the most dangerous, and everyone is afraid of accidents, but that this route is just a huge sea vessel that specializes in transporting bulk cargo!

They all have seven masts, the tallest of which is 65 meters tall!

Its overall length is about 130 meters, the width is about 37 meters, and the tonnage reaches more than 7,000 tons------ and its keel can only be cast with cast iron.

This type of seagoing vessel is expensive and has a single purpose, and it seems that only the Indian group of companies is willing to build this type of ship.

Of course, no one else has as many mining areas in South Yindianzhou as the Yindianan Group of Companies.

However, there is still a blank area on the world charts.

That is the Atlantic Ocean between the European continent, the African continent and the North and South Indian continents.

No one knows why it is called such a place name or a foreign name, but it has been marked that way since the appearance of the world charts.

At the scheduled time, the naval base in the Nankai region began to get busy, and they were going to an estuary on the eastern coast of Nanyindi'an Island to complete the first transoceanic operation in the history of mankind!

The name of that estuary is still odd.

The lieutenant commander in charge of this transoceanic operation was very puzzled, he did not understand why it was called the mouth of the "Buyi", could it be that it was where civilians were?!

However, only the latitude and longitude of the area were indicated in the intelligence information given to him, and the relevant hydrological and environmental data were very simple.

"It should be possible to dock large sea vessels, and the Buyi River should be able to sail into three-masted sea vessels."

When the lieutenant commander saw this, he scratched his scalp, this is the hydrographic material written by a stupid guy who has been there?!

Someone must have been there beforehand, otherwise how would the world know about that place?

But doesn't that person even have basic common sense?

A simple measure of the depth and width of the river will not work?

There is more environmental information.

"Soon along the river, you will find that there are only 'corridor-style' forests on both banks, and the rest is basically forestless grassland, which can be called cloth grassland, which is comparable to the American and Australian grasslands.

The land is rich in pastures, and the land is mostly fertile black soil, which can grow all the crops and vegetables that the Federal Empire now has. ”

"The summer is hot and the winter is warm, and the annual rainfall is about 100 centimeters, and the rainfall decreases from northeast to southwest.

You don't have to prepare winter supplies or worry about large beasts. ”

"There are some nomadic natives in the area, they don't have large livestock such as cattle and horses, they only herd a special kind of local sheep.

They do not use metal, but they have a habit of stealing and robbing, and will attack others for this reason.

However, they can be tamed, they can be civilized, and there is no need to be punished------"

After reading it, the colonel's heart shook.

This is another steppe, the Federal Empire will never dislike too many large livestock, nor too much skin, let alone too much beef and mutton jerky and wool!

The colonel clicked his lips, and this time he didn't know who would get rich.

The price of calves and foals has now begun to rise again with the further development of the Nankai area.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the mission is completed.
