Chapter 741: Discovering a New Island (3)
The first task of monitoring flying insects in a strange place is to search the whole territory and draw a map, according to what Qi Ke shows now is the process of searching for the first time, and then it starts to fast forward, switching to a dual-screen display, on one side is the lively port wharf, on the other side is the panorama of the village, and the thatched huts where slaves are held are marked in red, there are fourteen in total.
With the comparison, it can be seen more clearly, the thatched houses where the slaves are held are different from the houses where the villagers live daily, the houses where the slaves are locked up are more like dangerous houses, the rough mud walls and the thatched roofs that do not block the rain have a sense of danger of collapsing at any time, this kind of dilapidated houses are disliked as warehouses, but it doesn't matter if the slaves are closed.
Qi Ke chewed on the prawns with springy teeth, thoughtfully, "The houses in this village don't look as many as the houses in our Siliu Village, and in proportion, there are too many houses for slaves, is this island dedicated to the slave trade?" ”
"A staging post for slaves."
Zhaolin cuts the picture into four screens, except for the port and the village, adding a vista of the outskirts of the village, a large unexplored and pristine tropical landscape.
The scenery is beautiful, vibrant, lush, and small animals are running all over the ground, but such a picture only represents one word in Qi Ke's eyes, poor.
The picture stretches out towards the horizon, full of green, soon Qi Ke is a little tired of the scenery, the farther away from the beach, the farther away from civilization, Qi Ke originally wanted to find out if there is any arable land, and look for a village along the cultivated land, who knows that there is no shadow of arable land at all, the village is, pitifully small, a few or a dozen households, the house is low and cramped, and the height of the thatched roof is only about the same as that of an adult man, which shows that people can't straighten their waists in the house at all.
In contrast to these images, the port wharf and the slave village have become an acceptable state of civilization, and the degree of construction of the port wharf is obviously not spontaneous by the local natives who are not clothed.
"This island is occupied by outsiders." Qi Kerang Zhaolin turned the picture back to the port wharf, bowed his head and ate a big bite of pasta, "It is too wasteful to occupy such a rich island, but it is only used for slave transfer, how good it is to use it for farming, planting a watermelon can grow into a winter melon." ”
"You want to farm when you see the land?"
"There is a saying that whoever controls the oil controls all the countries, and whoever controls the food controls the whole of humanity. The first half of the sentence is not necessarily universal to the universe, but the second half of the sentence is certainly a universally accepted law of the universe, and any intelligent or non-intelligent life form will agree with this. Qi Ke picked up a piece of pasta and shook it, "Who would think that there is a lot of food, they will only worry about whether the storage is not enough and whether it is good or not." ”
Zhao Lin pursed his lips and smiled slightly, marking the island, and waiting for soil testing in the future to arrange which crops to plant.
"With a little bit of noodles, the old nest of the Haikou must not be far away, otherwise there will be a problem with the supply, looking at their poverty, this transit station is not capable of providing the fresh water to support a ship's voyage."
"Then we don't have to follow the pirate ship as heels anymore?" Qi Ke has also had enough of being watched for so long, "It can be regarded as being able to get rid of them and move freely." ”
"Their mission to lead the way is over, and we will follow this island to find it, this island is backward, poor, and far away from civilization, but the people who built this place into a slave transit station must be in a certain stage of civilization."
"Looking at the munitions used by the pirates, I have no doubt that they have carried out the industrial revolution."
"Strictly speaking, it was the people who produced those arms who made it possible to carry out the industrial revolution."
