211 Voyage
For the sudden appearance of the monster, Liang En immediately manipulated the ship to escape away from the monster, and there is no doubt that fighting the sea monster on the sea is definitely not a wise choice.
Thankfully, the monster didn't have much interest in the boats on the water, so it just shook past the ocean floor near Liang's sailboat and left.
But just as he was about to leave, the ugly-looking and fluorescent fish glanced at Liang En, who was standing on the boat, and this glance made him feel a threat like never before.
Feeling the monster's departure, Liang En breathed a long sigh of relief, he could feel that the monster's cultivation was likely to be three or four thousand years, and if you added the size advantage, it would definitely not be a problem to fight 100 of yourself.
Although Liang En was sure to escape from the other party's face, it was basically impossible to keep his big boat, but fortunately, the big fish let Liang En go in the end.
"No wonder there are so few people sailing in this day and age." After watching the sea around him gradually calm down, Liang En let out a long sigh of relief, and then thought of more things.
One thing he had been curious about since he came to the ancient world was why the Central Plains was still expanding at an unusually slow pace in an era that encouraged navigation, encouraged exploration, and was escorted by the extraordinary.
Now he realized that a civilized place like the Central Plains after repeated exploration and construction was not the norm in this world, but more of a dangerous and wild land.
Therefore, it is difficult to open up wild lands outward, and even with the support of the world's almost most powerful power, the speed of opening up is really not fast.
Compared with killing the enemy in conventional warfare, it is obviously much more difficult to transform nature, and even if the Central Plains has the means to civilize the region, it is difficult to make progress satisfactory.
Therefore, for the sake of fewer dead, everyone is more inclined to rob other people to open up good familiar land, but it is a pity that the power that can open up a civilized land in a wild country is not weak, and each has its own unique skills, so it is not so easy to expand the territory.
What's more, as the most powerful dynasty in the East now, the Great Song preferred that the entire East be under its own prescribed order, so it was difficult to launch an invasion of a country without a reason.
Therefore, the last time the Malacca Dynasty was stupid enough to send the navy to participate in the pirate operation against the Great Song, it was definitely a hole in the brain, giving the Great Song a reason to completely annex them.
It's a pity that such good things that fall from the sky are just one example, so if you want to expand your territory, most of the time you have to rely on pioneers like Liang En to enlighten the mountains and forests.
Good, even worlds with supernatural powers follow some basic rules. To take the simplest example, the more extreme the climate, the rarer the creatures, and the fewer the number and types of transcendent monsters.
The only thing that doesn't quite conform to this law is some special transcendent creatures, but fortunately, this kind of transcendent creatures tend to be very demanding to the environment and are not particularly threatening.
"It seems that this fishing ground is more dangerous than expected." Liang En took out his notebook and recorded it with palpitations, after all, if he wants to open up fishing grounds in the future, these monsters are the objects he must guard against.
After completing the record, Liang En directed the ship in a southeasterly direction. According to the plan, he will next have a map of the route to North America via the Central Route and a map of part of the west coast of North America.
This median route is located in the eastern part of Japan, and when ships arrive here, they follow the Japanese Warm Current and the North Pacific Current all the way east, and finally land near San Francisco in the modern world.
As he completes his mapping of the northern coastline of North America all the way north, he will follow the Alaska Warm Current and the Cold Kuril Stream all the way west, and finally return to his pioneering site.
Compared to the middle route, the passage from the North Sea to the Aleutian Islands to the Americas is the oldest route from Eurasia to the American continent.
In the late Pleistocene, about 30,000-20,000 years ago, modern humans entered North America and migrated south through the Bering land bridge formed by the drop in sea level during the Ice Age, eventually becoming the ancestors of the current human inhabitants of the Americas.
But now
It's not easy to take this route, and if you go east, the whole route will not only go against the wind and water, but also pass through a long period of desolate terrain, so almost no one will choose this route.
Under normal circumstances, this route would have taken about a month in the sailing era, but Liang En's ship was modified to be as fast as a modern destroyer, and it only took about 7~8 days to complete the journey across the Pacific Ocean.
The journey across the Pacific Ocean is very boring, with only an endless sky in sight but an endless sea in the eye, and it does not change at all for a long time.
Through this voyage, Liang En also understood how brave those ancient explorers really were: they didn't know what was on the other side of the sea, and they were willing to go to sea in such a situation, and they were indeed risking their lives.
Because it was for exploration, Liang En made a slight turn to confirm the existence of Midway, but the value of a coral atoll like this with insufficient fresh water in this era was not very large.
Fortunately, after driving further east for more than a day, several large and lush islands appeared in front of him, with lush forests and seabirds, and even sea turtles on the beach when he got closer.
After driving for a while, a fine natural harbor appeared in front of Liang En, but now it is almost untouched, and you can even see fish swimming in the water.
But the most attractive thing is that there are a large number of black mussel shells the size of a palm or even larger at the bottom of the sea, and after using the spiritual power in his body to take some of the mussel shells and pry them open, he found that there are actually some pearls hidden in these mussel shells. ap.
"That's why Pearl Harbor is called Pearl Harbor." Looking at those pearls of different sizes and shapes, such a thought suddenly flashed through Liang En's Bohai Sea.
As the ship progressed deeper into the harbor, Liang discovered that this was different from the other islands he had visited before: the seabirds in this place would only circle around Liang En's boat when they saw it, and would not land on it.
Even if Liang En tried to sprinkle a little steamed bun on the deck, the birds refused to come down, at most they just stopped at the top of the mast and watched him and the food on the deck.
"Huh?" Liang was immediately alarmed by the seabird's move, because it meant that there was likely to be human activity around, so the local birds were afraid of people.
Just as he was on alert, Liang En's ship rounded the small island of the modern world known as Ford Island, and the next moment, a small pier appeared in front of him.
It was a makeshift pier made of timber and rattan, etc., and there were five or six sailboats moored on the pier, but for unknown reasons, these sailboats were now tied to the pier, and there was no one on it.
On the shore behind the pier is a tall wooden hut in which people can be faintly seen.
"Woo-woo-"
Just as Liang En was curiously looking at the village, the alarm sound of the horn came from the village, and the whole village immediately came to life.
