067 Voyage

As soon as the preparations began, Liang En recruited 600 mountain ghosts for his pioneering site, and these mountain ghosts came from various mountain ghost villages near the Taihu Lake water system, led by Lin An himself, and carried a seed of Fusang wood.

In addition, Liang En is also trying his best to contact people he knows to help him contact immigrants, but unfortunately there are many local people who are willing to emigrate, but most of them retreat after hearing that they are going north, so it takes time to recruit immigrants.

Fortunately, a series of materials that need to be prepared in the ancient world also take time, although Liang En's silver is enough for the first batch of immigrants, but such a huge amount of materials cannot be gathered quickly for ancient logistics.

Whether it is the construction of ships, the preparation of materials or the gathering of people, it takes time, unlike the game where you can easily do it with a few buttons, fortunately those trivial things Lin An and the mountain ghosts can help Liang En complete.

But even then, even if all goes well, the first migrants will leave in three or four months. Fortunately, the time was just right for spring, just in time to avoid the dangerous winter.

Naturally, the imperial court also knows what the specific situation is, so the time limit given is calculated from the time limit after obtaining the permit to be pushed back one year, and will not include these preparation times.

The modern world purchases much faster than the ancient world, even if Liang En's current corner of Europe is far less logistical than his hometown, but the collection of this batch of things will not take more than a month.

So for a while now, Liang has been running around the two worlds to collect all kinds of items he needs, and put those items where he needs them.

"Cotton clothes, emergency food, tools, farm tools, consumables—" after returning to the modern world on this day. Liang En went to the warehouse to count the batch of materials that arrived today, and checked the quality from time to time.

Most of the items purchased in the modern world are produced in China, except for a few things, because even if you add the freight costs that cross half the world, these things are the most cost-effective.

After inspection, Liang En found that the quality of these things was still as good as ever, so he nodded with satisfaction.

After completing his inspection, he walked to the harbor, then boarded a 50-foot sailboat along the wooden boardwalk of the harbor and untied the ropes.

"Liang—are you going to sea again today?" Watching Liang En prepare for the sea, an old man with gray hair on the dock opposite asked loudly.

"Yes, Uncle Peter." Liang En waved the fishing rod in his hand and said, "I heard that there are a lot of fish in the sea here recently, so I plan to go out for three to five days to have a good time." ”

Uncle Peter was an Italian whom Liang had recently met on the docks, and had heard that he had been a well-known banker in Genoa when he was younger.

It's just that, like many old people in Western Europe, after retirement, he took his wife to spend his retirement in this small country in Eastern Europe, and in a few years it looked no different from the nearby fishermen.

"Ah, then I wish you a nice trip, I see the weather forecast says the next week will be a good time to be sunny." After hearing Liang En's words, he waved his hand to Liang En and wished him all the best.

Soon Liang had all the preparations for the trip, and then operated the ship out of the harbor and headed south.

This boat is a second-hand boat that he bought for more than 170,000 euros, but in terms of the condition and age of the boat, this money can definitely be regarded as a big leak.

In order to be able to use this boat normally, he also spent tens of thousands of euros, three points of luck essence and a week to go to the United Kingdom to obtain RYA's master navigator certificate.

RYA is the world's most versatile nautical license. It is divided into theoretical test and practical operation alternately, that is, only through a certain level of theoretical test can this level of practical operation be tested, and all English learning.

The theory test can be self-studied online, but the practical test must go to a designated training institution, and at the same time, a practical test can cost thousands of pounds, under normal circumstances, only some real rich and professional people will take the test.

Theoretically, the entire exam process can be completed in as little as five days, but if a normal person starts from scratch, a few months is considered fast.

However, Liang En is not a normal person, a hundred years of cultivation has brought him physical fitness far beyond ordinary humans, and lucky points allow him to learn skills that others may take a lifetime to learn in a matter of seconds.

So it only took seven days to start from scratch, and Liang En obtained the highest level of RYA's master navigation certificate, but everyone thought that he should have studied for a while before, and now he is just here to take a certificate.

After taking the ship dozens of kilometers south into the Croatian waterfront, Liang began to let his ship approach the coast, pretending to be a shore trip to deceive the possible presence of radar, and then took the ship to the ancient world.

Before he left for the modern world, he told others that he had to find a way to explore the land, and used this excuse to go to an uninhabited seaside at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

So when he returned to the ancient world, he was able to smoothly put the boat into the sea of the ancient world, and then jumped directly on the ship and drove in the northeast direction.

For Liang En, the most important thing in the development work is intelligence, but unfortunately, all the official records of that island here are limited to a small detachment of ships on Kuba Island that were accidentally detected after they were lost due to a storm.

Therefore, except for a very small number of coastlines, the North Sea Islands on this side of the ancient world are completely an information gap.

As for the information from the modern world in Liang En's hands, although it is detailed enough, based on experience, it can basically only determine the general direction, and I can't say the details.

That's why Liang learned how to steer a boat, and bought a small ocean-going sailing yacht that could cross the Atlantic when it was ready.

"It only takes about three days." After simply paying homage to Mazu and the Dragon King, Liang En looked at the route on the chart and nodded slightly.

As a cultivator with a hundred years of cultivation, he could adjust the wind direction in time without sleep for several days in a row, so he was able to drive on the sea surface at the fastest speed, which is why he was able to compress the time in such a short time.

If it is changed to this era, it is estimated that it will take about half a month, mainly because the wind direction on this road is either northwest or southeast, so going to the northeast can only go against the wind, and the speed is naturally not fast.

So for the next three days he steered his ship all the way to the northwest, and because of the quartz clock, sextant and fine charts, he chose an almost straight course.

Because of this, Liang En almost didn't see any other ships along the way, and only when he passed through the Tsushima Strait did he vaguely see a few small boats with a displacement of about 100 tons.

Probably because of the previous sacrifice, the journey was uneventful, except for a swordfish that began to demonize and tried to make a hole in his ship, only to be turned into his own reserve by his sword.

Finally, at noon on the third day, he saw a river estuary and sparse broadleaf forest in the distance, indicating that he had successfully reached his destination, the estuary of a river called the Ishikari River in another world.
