The ship had to go east to get close to the coast of Mexico, and now the ocean current was drifting westward, and the sailors hurriedly pulled up the sails, but here the wind direction was chaotic, and by the time the position of the mainsail was adjusted, the warship had already drifted nearly twenty miles to the west!

At this time, the west wind was blowing, and it was difficult for the warship to turn around, but now it was blown westward by the wind, and in desperation, Xiao Ming had to let the boiler under the ship burn coal and ignite it, adding up the power of the whole ship, which made the coal burning in the already stretched coal bunker even more reduced. 【 High Quality Update 】

The people on the whole ship were struggling, but at this time, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the ocean, and the warship was moving towards the whirlpool, and the roulette wheel in the main console "Click!" "Rather, the two rudders are sideways together, and the "Thunder" is going around in a big circle!

Suddenly the warship shook violently, as if something was pulling the warship, yes, the big ship with full horsepower suddenly lost power, and then from the port side of the ship suddenly appeared a huge wrist and foot, like a giant python, slammed on the deck, and still squirmed!

"Ah----! Sea monster! Sea monster! The frightened sailor shouted in panic.

At the same time, the side of the boat on the other side also stretched out a huge wrist and foot, Xiao Ming saw that there was an obvious suction cup on it, what kind of sea monster was it, it was a huge octopus! There is a high probability of giant octopuses and large squid appearing in the sea in the tropical areas of the Taiping, but such a large one is rare.

Why did this octopus suddenly attack the "Thunder"? Xiao Ming didn't care about the reason, the powerful suction came from this octopus, and his tentacles had reached the sail, flipping the sail to the side, and the warship floated faster towards the maelstrom.

"Shoot! What are you waiting for? Xiao Ming shouted hoarsely.

The panicked tiger guards reacted at this time, and immediately raised their guns to shoot, "Bang bang!" The gunshot rang out, hitting the huge tentacles of the octopus, spurting out a stream of pale blue blood and a lot of slime! The tentacle retracted sharply in pain, but the other tentacle quickly stretched out, rolled up a tiger guard who had shot and threw it into the air.

With the sound of a gunshot, Guo Shouxin next to Xiao Ming shot, and the huge tentacle was broken, and the tiger guard fell down, almost dying, and the gunfire also reminded those sailors that they took out knives to cut those tentacles with teeth and claws, and after being cut off a few more tentacles, the octopus couldn't bear the pain and shrank down.

But Xiao Ming knew that the other party would definitely not give up, so he pulled a grenade from Gu Xiaoliu's waist, pulled the string and threw it into the sea, and with an explosion, the sea water splashed the sailor's body, and the roar of a beast also came.

"It's hurt! Hurry up, keep throwing grenades! Xiao Ming shouted at the tiger guards beside him.

With the sound of several explosions, the whole warship suddenly loosened, the suction was finally gone, thinking that the octopus was too seriously injured and had let go of the warship, and the huge whirlpool in the distance seemed to have reached the front of the eyes, the "Thunder Dragon" jumped up the sails, increased the power of the steam engine and ran desperately into the distance!

The stalemate only appeared for a while, the sea water continued to retreat, and finally the "Thunder Dragon" finally sailed away from the huge whirlpool with double power, heading towards the east, and everyone on the ship, including Xiao Ming, all collapsed and sat on the deck, and the thrilling scene just now made many people's hearts still pounding.

The fight with the giant octopus made many sailors still afraid, a tiger guard on the ship was injured, some wooden shelves were broken by tentacles, and there were two large python-like octopus tentacles lying on the ground! The Tiger Guards and Sailors all looked at them with trepidation.

An Daoquan was treating the tiger guard, while Xiao Ming walked towards the two tentacles, the one broken by Guo Shouxin was the largest, more than two meters long, and the other was a little shorter, which was cut off by the sailors! Xiao Ming took out his waist knife, picked up the tentacle with the tip of the knife, looked at it, and shouted to the sailors: "What are you afraid of!" High protein, this one is delicious! ”

So there was another dish of grilled octopus feet in the kitchen, and the "Thunder Dragon" was now sailing with all its might, and finally an hour later, he saw the coastline again, and Xiao Ming ordered that he would spend the night in "New Songzhou" tonight.

The west coast of Mexico is the entire Sierra Madre, with plains and valleys, dense primeval forests, and many lakes and rivers formed here, and Xiao Ming finally docked in an unknown bay, ferried by small boats, and by the time they landed on the North American continent, it was already dark.

The captain came to report to Xiao Ming, saying that the coal on the ship had run out, and due to the long-term drift at sea, the hull of the ship was covered with countless carapaces and shells, which needed to be cleaned up, and the food reserves on the ship were not optimistic, although there was still a lot of meat, but the key vegetables and fruits had all been eaten!

Xiao Ming ordered to rest first at night, and tomorrow morning you need to move the stones to build a dock near the water, and then unload the supplies on the ship first, with your back against the mainland, what else to worry about, there is no problem with food, vegetables and fruits, now you must seize the time to rest!

Under the bonfire at night, Xiao Ming couldn't sleep a little, An Daoquan got up and asked him: "This New Song Prefecture is unusually huge, there must be a lot of people living on it, how to deal with these people is a difficult problem, you must be looking for coal!" But I wonder if there will be coal here? ”

Xiao Ming nodded and said: "Coal will definitely be available, but the natives here may not know how to use it, which is more troublesome!" "I remember that I landed on the American continent in the twelfth century, and almost all of my fellow Columbus, who was the first to discover America, landed in the narrow ancient Mexico.

Not only did Xiao Ming predate him by hundreds of years, but he landed from the west coast, while Columbus landed on the islands of Central America, and then crossed the Gulf of Mexico to the coasts of Guatemala and Honduras.

In front of us is the problem of survival, it is already March, but the temperature in Central and North America is not low, food storage is a problem, and which little food reserve can not support hundreds of people to eat, without coal I dare not rely on the sail to go to sea easily.

So it was imperative to build a base nearby, and then search for the local primitive Indians, and on the contrary, try to get their help, and if the other party is hostile to you, you don't mind learning from the Spaniards!

However, the Chinese naturally could not take such extreme measures like the barbaric Spaniards, and since this continent has been called "New Song State!" "Then the whole history of the Americas will be rewritten by itself! Thinking of these, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a sense of pride.

The Indian civilization in Central and North America exterminated by the Spaniards seems to be called the Aztec civilization, thinking of this, Xiao Ming can think of the Aztec Indians' golden house and the fountain of youth! This shows that the Indian civilization was very developed, and although it was still a slave society, it was able to make many things, including the use of gold.

Thinking of gold, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little excited, but at this stage, obtaining coal and food is more important than gold, everything has to be a new beginning, just tomorrow, Xiao Ming is going to take the first step to change the history of the Americas, which makes him not sleepy, until the east of the sky is white, then he falls asleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming was still woken up, it turned out that in this unfamiliar environment, most people were very nervous, they couldn't sleep at all, they were all waiting for Xiao Ming's order, it is difficult to say whether they can return to their hometown in the future, but there must be a backbone in people's hearts.

Although Xiao Ming is very sleepy, he can only get up and speak to this kind of person, of course, it is indispensable to leave a name in history and curiosity about the unknown world, but at present, there must be some practical methods, that is, to build a dock and build a camp!

The total number is a total of more than 500 tiger guards plus more than 200 sailors, a total of 700 people, to dock the huge warship to the shore, unload the materials on board, it is still very fast, the key is that there must be a dock, so the tiger guards and sailors went to move stones!

If it is said to be a wharf, it is actually very simple, that is, a flat land must be cleared out, and then a stone platform must be built to set up a gangplank with the big ship standing on the side, so as to facilitate the handling of goods up and down, such a platform wharf can be completed quickly, the key is to choose the right place, the water depth is enough for the Thunder Dragon to dock!

When it was time to practice martial arts, this platform dock had been built, and then the tools and supplies of Dalian Big Brother were transported from the ship, and the camp did not occupy too much area, so the wall built with stones could also be used, but Xiao Ming still went to cut down a large number of trees, and when it was dark, the camp with walls on three sides had been preliminarily completed!

In the next few days, Xiao Ming left some people to continue to improve the camp, and then sent some people to explore nearby, but in the face of rolling hills and primeval forests, a few days of exploration yielded nothing, and the camp almost became a fortress.

The front of the exit is a necessary trench, and there are also two trenches on the outside of the exit, and then the observation post built by the back log and the external vigilance of the hot air balloon behind make the people inside very relaxed, because there is no coal, a lot of firewood is needed for heating and cooking at night, Xiao Ming asked all the trees within 500 steps outside the camp to be cut down.

On the one hand, this is to clear the view of the whole camp, on the other hand, it also stores a lot of timber for the camp, and the basic work of the team that goes out to explore is to clear a few roads and hunt outside the mission, get food for the whole camp, and of course the professional personnel are responsible for picking wild fruits.

After a few days of busy docks and camps, people can basically feel at ease, such a defense is that the beasts and a large number of wild people can't break in at all, so Xiao Ming arranged very few people left behind, and most of the personnel participated in the external search, and this kind of search is actually very purposeful! That is to try to find a coal mine.

"Thunder!" There are some technicians and craftsmen who can prospect for mines, and this is the meeting organized by Xiao Ming has been promoted, these people are specifically looking for coal for the big guys, but the coal mine has not been found these few times, and they have found a saltpeter mine and lime mine!

Anyway, both of these things were useful to Xiao Minglai, so Xiao Ming sent people to the camp and began to carry them in large quantities, and the scope of the search team's external search was also increasing, from the beginning of the day back and forth, to two or even three or four days back and forth, which expanded the efficiency of finding coal mines.

And in the camp, due to several rains in a row, yes, and the cleared place began to be lush again, Xiao Ming saw that the land was so fertile, it was better to plant some vegetables and crops, anyway, there was a river in the open field in front, and in the past few days, the scope of the camp had begun to expand, and that water source was also included.

On this day, the search party came back after three days of going out, and this time they had a catch, they brought back a young man from the local indigenous area, saying that he was rescued on the way!
