"What's more, there are countless gold mines in the Americas and Africa, once someone can bring back this news......" Jiang Xia looked at Zhang Liang, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think, how things will develop?" ”

Zhang Liang's heart beat violently.

How to develop?

Once you hear that there is a gold mine in a certain place, there will definitely be countless people who will go to pan for gold one after another!

Zhang Liang's eyes flashed, as long as there are enough people, what can be driven is an industrial chain!

"Is there really a gold mine?"

Jiang Xia nodded, very sure, he grew up listening to gold rush stories, not to mention how much water was in those gold rush stories.

But now, no one has set foot in these places, and the gold mines are there, and the pioneers can definitely make a lot of money.

Again, there are risks and opportunities.

"There are many gold mines, silver mines, diamond mines, and jade mines, but whether you can find gold or not depends on the life of the individual." Jiang Xia sighed helplessly.

Gold diggers, getting rich overnight is not a dream, but more is a crazy temptation on the verge of death all the time!

Death threats along the way, not too many.

The vast sea, the local natives, and the exclusion of peers......

If you are not careful, your life will be on the way.

Zhang Liang agrees, "If there is really a gold mine, no matter how dangerous it is, I am afraid that a large number of people will take risks to go there." ”

Venture......

"What do you think of those places, sir?"

Jiang Xia shook his head, he didn't know much about his own history, let alone the history of America and Africa, "It shouldn't be good, right?" ”

Although the pretty country is known as the country with the thinnest history books, the pretty country is just an invading outsider.

The indigenous people of the Americas, similar to the Indians and other indigenous peoples, also have a very long history, and the famous Mayan prophecy was also born in the Americas.

As for whether there are people in the Americas now, and who are they, the Mayan civilization is still not there......

Jiang Xia didn't know anything.

Still, think of the Indians you've seen in TV shows, with oil paint on their faces and a javelin in their hands or something.

Jiang Xia said with a very puzzled tone, "If nothing else, they threw the javelins quite accurately, probably ...... Good at ranged attacks? ”

Zhang liang:???

What is a javelin?

"However, we have gunpowder, just javelins, so it's not a big problem."

Zhang Liang, "...... Since this is not a problem, we can use this place as a retreat. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Xia was stunned, why did he retreat?

Zhang Liang stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "Now, when the First Emperor is officially in full swing, he is sending troops everywhere and constantly expanding his territory. If the time comes, the gentleman loses ......"

Zhang Liang paused and said very seriously, "We can establish our own base in the Americas, if great things can be done, the world can get it!" If things don't go our way, we can retreat to the Americas, wait and see! ”

The corners of Jiang Xia's mouth twitched violently.

With Xiang Li in hand, there is no shortage of swords and gunpowder, how can it be a big deal?

When the time comes, the firecracker and the red-coated cannon will be developed, not to mention Hu Hai, even Brother Zheng is afraid that he will not be an opponent!

What else is needed?

Jiang Xia waved his hand, "Keep an eye on those students first, if they really plan to go to sea, provide them with all the help, and send troops and horses to protect them." Otherwise, those weak scholars who didn't have the strength to fight were all going to deliver food, and when they ran into the cannibals over there, they wouldn't even have bones left. ”

"As for the base area, we will discuss it later, and we will talk about it when the first batch of people come back." Jiang Xia confidently hooked the corners of his mouth.

Base?

No, you don't.

Brother Zheng still has a year, and none of those who went to the Americas to explore the way will not come back for three or five years.

Waiting for them?

The daylilies are cold.

"Food...... Cannibals?! Zhang Liang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, "And ...... And such a people? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xia had only heard of such a tribe as cannibals.

As for its authenticity......

Probably yes?

Who knows.

Zhang Liang rubbed his temples with a headache, "In this way, this escort team that protects the students going to the Americas has to choose a more powerful one." ”

Jiang Xia waved his hand, "This is far from being able to happen in a while, don't be in such a hurry, take your time." ”

Shipbuilding is a big project.

Otherwise, Xu Fu would not have been able to build a ship for such a long time, and he had not set off until now.

"You go back and talk to Xiang Li'an, and let Xiang Li and a few people fully cooperate with those students."

"Good!"

I don't know if there is a direction to struggle, those students are now almost all working hard to verify that the earth is round, and the doubts about Jiang Xia are much smaller.

A thriving scene, the style of learning is very strong.

And these students want to travel around the world, and there are too many problems they want to solve, so Xiang Lian specially sent a person to answer all kinds of strange questions from the students.

First of all, the most important problem for students to solve is the question of direction.

In the vast sea, how can they ensure that the direction they walk is always due east? The people in the factory worked together to make the compass.

Next, the students raised the most critical issue at the beginning, freshwater.

Rain is indeed a solution, but it does not always happen to rainy days, and the rain does not necessarily have enough for the entire fleet.

For this reason, the students went to the factory for a few days to study and learned the distillation method. Seawater can be purified in this way, resulting in fresh water and salt.

However, the cost of distillation is high, and ...... is needed Glass.

The students also made expensive glass products.

On top of that, they weren't sure how long they would need to drift at sea, so they needed a lot of fuel, and wood was obviously not enough.

Coal, oil also customized a whole bunch.

It is difficult to say what kind of danger will be encountered if you will move forward, and the number of escorts cannot be small, and in addition to this, a large number of weapons will be required.

A large number of personnel, equipment, and the load of the ship cannot be less......

Listening to Yingbu's report on the progress of the students every day, Jiang Xia was very satisfied with this.

In the search for the truth, many people have come to believe many of the ideas they have put forward.

In addition, more surprises are that these students have come up with a lot of fresh inventions in the process of discussing with Xiangrian and others.

This is his original intention.

Does the result matter?

Significant.

But obviously, the process is more important!

Just when the students of Sanchuan were planning to sail to find the truth just to verify whether the earth was round, Xu Fu, who was far away in Xianyang, also got the recently sold "100,000 Whys".

Turning the first page, it almost made Xu Fu's heart sink to the bottom.
