Chapter 315 [314] Daming Outer Enclave(1/3)
Chapter 315 [314] Enclave outside the Ming Dynasty
What the Kingdom of God lacks most today is talent.
Grassroots talents only need time to cultivate and popularize education;
Like Niu Shi, Xiao Hua, Zhou Weiguo and others, which one was not trained by Zhou Li'an himself?
This is also the reason why I took Cookmo on a long trip.
Only when you know the appearance of heaven and earth, see the customs of various countries, and see the good and evil of human nature, can you have extraordinary vision.
Arriving in West Africa again at 12 noon.
The flight lasted 6 hours and covered 3,000 kilometers.
Zhou Li'an did not come to the "Mali Empire" this time. There was a divine prophecy during his first trip, and disaster would come decades later.
As for how to do it, it can only be up to them.
At present, the territory of the Mali Empire has been drawn on the maps of some European countries, and some people have also visited it from overland.
And there are only two places that must be passed -
Ceuta.
Egypt.
Again, Zhou Li'an does not want to change the original trajectory of the "Battle of Ceuta" for the time being.
Therefore, the butterfly's wings are as convergent as possible to avoid any accidents.
After landing, make food in the wilderness.
Zhou Li'an also created a large amount of fuel and ordered Cook to replenish it.
Due to his previous flying experience, Zhou Li'an customized a pressure pump belt in this world. He only needed to connect it to the aircraft circuit and Cookmo could complete the operation alone.
The great elder still wants to help, of course Zhou Li'an will not stop him...
It is for the glory of the people that they serve the true God.
However, the snow girl still dissuaded him.
This made Zhou Li'an wonder whether the number of people in the "travel group" on this trip was too small?
However, if you want to bring more than ten or twenty people, the target after landing will be too big.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the road guidance system was strict.
Assuming that Zhou Li'an appeared as a god, he would naturally welcome officials and nobles to clear the way, but the problem is that the purpose of this trip is to travel incognito and make a real journey through ancient times.
We also want Snow Girl and Cook Mo to see the truest sentiments of the people.
Cook Mo is cheering.
Zhou Li'an created a map and planned the route.
Most of the African map is open, but there are some "small shadows" in some corners, which can be fully opened for this trip.
The final stop in Africa will be Malindi.
After arriving, Zhou Li'an flew to explore the sea for 2,000 kilometers, and then turned back.
The total distance is 4,000 kilometers, which meets the Dash8 battery life standard.
This move is to open the sea route map to facilitate the subsequent monitoring of Zheng He's fleet on its voyage to the West.
Then it started from Malindi, along Somalia, Arabia, and finally arrived in Pakistan.
The next route will be easy to plan.
Head south to Sri Lanka.
Take off from here, then turn back and go straight to Malindi, exploring more than 2,000 kilometers and turning back.
At this point, the main shipping route in the third ocean has been opened.
As for why not fly direct from Malindi to Sri Lanka…
Of course, the cruising range was insufficient, by hundreds of kilometers. There were no take-off and landing supply points in the middle sea area, so Zhou Li'an had no choice but to take a detour.
Although there is a country called Liushan in the middle, the diameter of the largest island in the Maldives is only three kilometers. It is honestly impossible to find an 800-meter take-off and landing runway on a three-kilometer island.
The modified endurance of Dash8 is now the highest among civil aircraft. If you want to increase the mileage again, you will not only need to expand the fuel tank, but also update the engine components.
But if you do this, taking off and landing on non-paved roads will become a problem.
I can't land and take off as flexibly as I can now.
Generally speaking, Zhou Li'an has achieved the optimal configuration under the existing conditions.
Route selection.
Cookmo also filled up the fuel, collected some oil barrels, tables and chairs, and the group continued to set off.
Equilibrium 15 years, May 15th.
Our Lord has come to Malindi.
Lu Baen and his princes and ministers knelt down to greet him and reported everything for several months.
All the trees and bones surrendered to Malindi.
"Kilwa", once known as the Sea King of East Africa, also sent envoys to show goodwill to Malindi and send tributes.
After all, when the Ming Dynasty fleet returned, a grand sacrificial ceremony was held. People from various cities and ministries on the East African coast came to worship, and countless people witnessed the miracles of the gods.
Such news is also spreading further north, and the "name of balance" is beginning to enter the Arab world.
On that day, there was another great celebration in the city.
On the second day, we set off to explore the route.
Because Gaza and his three sons all went to visit the Ming Dynasty, and there was no one in the country who was proficient in the divine language, Zhou Li'an did not leave Xue Nu and the others behind to accompany him all the way.
However, Lu Baan said last night that he has ordered people to travel far away to find merchants and travelers who can understand the divine language. If possible, he will implement the divine language in the city.
Of course, the ideals are full, but how can any Arab businessman who has the ability to travel to the Ming Dynasty to do business like a small country like Malindi?
There may be three or two people who are curious about the arrival of the true god, but the vague legends will not attract language experts.
It is better to wait for Prince Qiaolan to return from Gaza. If they are smart enough, they will hire a "general" in the Ming Dynasty with a lot of money to return to the country.
After a day of exploring.
To the extreme mileage of 2,000 kilometers away, no traces of the Ming Dynasty were found.
This is also normal.
It is now mid-May.
As early as 3 months ago, they should have arrived in "Liaoshan Country" (Maldives) or even further away in "Ceylon" (Sri Lanka).
Calculated based on the current time, it will take at most 3-4 months to return to Daming Quanzhou Port.
May 17.
When our Lord left, the people of Dacheng were reluctant to leave; and this was also the first time Zhou Li'an sailed to a region outside of Africa and set foot in Asia.
Arriving in Saudi Arabia on the 18th;
On the 19th, we flew across the Persian Gulf to Khrumos on the north coast;
This place is also one of the main supply areas for Zheng He's fleet and has been recorded in historical materials many times.
For example, if you set sail from "Guli", you will arrive at Horumos in twenty-five days with favorable wind.
Zhou Li'an did not arrive in West Asia.
The Arab world has close exchanges with Europe. If we alert the enemy too early, what will happen next?
On the 20th, we arrived in Gujarat, which is now India.
Later it was called the Seven Islands of Bombay. Because of its geographical location close to the sea and its modern development, it was similar to the Magic City. Asan exclaimed that the latter was called Little Bombay.
But now, this place has not yet had a port built by the Portuguese fleet, and everything is deserted.
How can we usher in development if we have not been touched by colonizers?
21st, Ceylon;
On the 22nd, we headed north from Ceylon to Punggala (Bangladesh).
Then it extends from Burma to Siam.
This trip has completely opened up the system map of the Nanyang coast, and the [Eye of the Void] can monitor the maritime trade situation at any time.
May 24th.
Dash8 flew across the Strait of Malacca, then transferred to H225, and finally arrived in Sumatra.
Even Zhou Li'an found it too much to fly for a week in a row.
Every night, he returns to the present world with the snow girl.
To be continued...
