Starting from the Mediterranean, Wang Hao has been sailing at sea for a week.

In the offshore sea, there are not many active attacks around, and the probability of encountering bad weather such as storms is much smaller, as long as there is a certain amount of common sense, it is not too much of a problem to run a business to make money, the difference is only to earn more and earn less.

Interstate ocean trade, on the other hand, is a different concept, and from the moment two ships enter the Atlantic, on average, every few dozen minutes, a group of pirates with hideous faces will roar in.

With the strength of the "Golden Merry", even if the level of these pirates is one level higher, Wang Hao will not have any difficulty in dealing with it.

For this trip to the Caribbean, he prepared hundreds of primary repairers, and also spent a high price to get 5 life-saving intermediate repairers, which should be no problem for this sea journey.

The only trouble is the safety during the offline period, which the game company has considered when designing, after all, it is impossible for players to stay in the game for a long time, especially when conducting ocean trade, often it is ten days, half a month, if the player is not online, resulting in the destruction of the ship, then the previous efforts will be in vain, which is not fair to the player.

Therefore, the game company has specially launched a consumable item for this purpose - the guardian of the sea emperor, open the guardian of the sea emperor before going offline, and then the player will not have to worry about being sunk by wild monsters, players, or storms during the offline period, of course, it will definitely not be used during the battle.

This item is the product of a system update that was discovered by a player named Abia a few days ago when he was crossing the Red Sea.

Construction of the Suez Canal also began in earnest. The official has prepared a countdown for this, clearly telling the majority of players that the canal will be completed in 60 days.

Anyone familiar with world history should know the impact of the canal on trade between East and West.

The same is true in the game, as the canal allows north-south water transportation between Europe and Asia without having to bypass the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, greatly saving the voyage.

Wang Hao faintly felt that something was wrong after receiving the prompt from the system that day, the opening time of this canal seemed to be half a year earlier than the previous life, and the advantage was that the trade between the east and the west would inevitably start earlier, which would be beneficial to the prosperity of the economies of both sides.

The downside is that as the distance factor weakens. The contradictions between the two sides will also be exposed in advance. No one can say when the first conflict will occur.

For this, many people, including Wang Hao, are supportive, after all, the original intention of this game is to transfer the contradictions in reality to the game, and there is no war. I believe that many people will feel that life is too boring.

Spurred on by this event. Players on both the East and the West have stepped up their exploration of uncharted waters. Moving forward little by little, it is said that players from Europe and Asia have successfully met at the Cape of Good Hope.

When this news reaches back to their respective countries, it is bound to roll up a wave of outward exploration. Attracting more and more people to join.

If this trend continues, players from Europe and Asia will be able to set foot on each other's borders without waiting for the Suez Canal to be completed.

Objectively speaking, Europeans do have a lot of innate advantages in this regard, and they are more likely to be the first to set foot in Asia.

*************************************************************************

All of the above has little to do with Wang Hao for the time being, as long as he rushes back to Europe before the completion of the Suez Canal.

It's already very close to the American continent, as evidenced by the seagulls that fly overhead from time to time.

Wang Hao took out the nautical diary given by Baron Abraham, he has been studying the contents of this diary these days, and it can be seen that the person who left this diary is not a careful person, the information recorded on it is very messy and vague, basically he writes where he wants, and sometimes he does not leave a single written record for many days in a row.

However, there are no more hints on the task record.

It's not that there is no way, Wang Hao noticed that this diary has mentioned a place called Devil's Island many times, and maybe all the puzzles can be answered there.

Before that, he had to find a local player and ask him where this Devil's Island was.

Although it has entered the waters of the Americas, it is still an endless sea, and there is no trace of the player's activity.

This may have something to do with the pride in the bones of Americans, who believe that the United States is the most powerful, richest, most civilized, and freest country in reality and games, and deserves to be the center of the world.

Even the players of the European continent, in their eyes, have a feeling similar to poor relatives, and this pride has long been integrated into their bones and blood.

Because of this, their desire for external expansion and exploration is not very strong, and it smells of isolationism.

This is also the reason why in the last battle of European history, only a small number of Americans participated, and most of them were outside to watch the excitement.

Many even shouted the slogan "they beat theirs, we transfer our money" and increased investment in workshops and plantations, which seemed stupid in the early days, and was widely criticized by many foreign experts as outdated.

Time is the best proof.

While other countries are staging all kinds of eye-catching and wonderful battles, the United States is burying its head in development; At a time when other countries are vying for regional hegemony, the United States is still bent on farming, and when the hegemon of several continents in the world is ready to compete with the elite of a hundred battles.

The peerless commander, the elite fleet honed by a hundred battles, and the unbeatable top masters, all retreated in the face of the tidal wave of ships in the United States.

While the average number of dockyards in other countries is only level 3, the average of the United States is level 5, and while other countries are still celebrating the number of docks in their country exceeding 1,000, the United States has long been troubled by having nearly 10,000 docks, while people in other countries are still worried about raw materials, while the Americans, who have a large number of workshops and plantations, are considering whether to destroy some excess materials.

The Americans said: strategy is not as good as people, I have ships, there are not many of them, I have a large number of docks, and towing can drag you to death, not as elite as others, and a massive fleet is enough to make up for all gaps.

In the last life, it was with this set of tactics that can be called shameless to the extreme, that the Americans once again became the sole hegemon in the game.

Now, Wang Hao is here, can he bring any changes? (To be continued......)
