"O Bodhisattva! God! Lord God!...A giant spruce tree forty steps long and two or three steps in diameter is used as the keel of a ship?...Is this...is this true? Master, are you wrong? Or is it? Did you hear me wrong? Such a huge tree is unheard of, and it has been rare to see one for decades!…"

"Five years ago, the Great Emperor Chenghua of the Shangguo passed away and the Great Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne... The tributes that two groups of gentlemen carried to the Yangtze River in South Gyeongsang Province and shipped to the Shangguo were only two pieces. The cargo of the ship: 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 400 pieces each of cotton, silk and cotton, 600 mink, deer, otter, and leopard skins, 60 dragon-patterned mats, 20 boxes of old ginseng...and in addition , the most expensive tribute is an eight-hundred-year-old oak tree that is thirty steps high and one or two steps wide, serving as the roof beam of the emperor’s new palace!…”

"The Lord God has appeared! A big tree thirty steps high can already be used as a top-notch tribute gift to the Great Emperor! ... As for a sacred tree forty steps high and two or three steps wide, even if you search all over the Great Ming Dynasty, it will still be the same. Thousands of gold are hard to find! Even when the great emperor of the Shang Dynasty built a palace, he couldn’t afford it at all!…”

Hearing the promise of the knowledgeable Mickey, the shipwright Jin Shanshu swallowed and his whole body started to tremble. He was familiar with dimensions and could imagine what a giant tree over 50 meters high and 3 meters in diameter would look like. However, he could not imagine at all what kind of sky-high price such a thousand-year-old sacred tree could be sold for in Korea, the Republic of China, and the Ming Dynasty, which lacked giant trees! Perhaps, such a big wood can no longer be measured by price...

Even in the Ming Dynasty, which craftsman would dare to think of using this sacred tree, which is as precious as heaven and earth, to build ships and houses? Which shipwright or carpenter can resist this temptation? …

"Ah! The great priest who is bigger than the sky... are you looking for happiness? Does such a sacred tree really exist? And... you still want to leave it to a small shipbuilder?..."

"Witness the Lord God! Gold Shipbuilder, that is indeed a sacred tree. It is an inherited sacred tree that has been worshiped by the tribes of Southwest Tekos for hundreds of years. It has a tall and solid divinity! ... When you arrive at the southern shipyard of the kingdom, you will see it at a glance You can see it!…”

"Ah? Ah this!...Sir! Master! If such a sacred tree really exists...it can only be used to build a large ocean boat with two thousand materials. Isn't it a bit of a waste?..."

Seeing the dimensions clearly written down by the priest, shipwright Jin Shanshu's knees felt weak and he felt a mountain of pressure on his shoulders. If such a sacred tree was casually destroyed by him, wouldn't it be punished by God and struck by lightning? And if this clingy king pursues this matter, wouldn't he also behead him? It is said that the sacred trees have spirits, and one must have great luck to suppress them...

Shipwright Jin Shanshu was confused and thought wildly for a while before he quickly knelt down and kowtowed several times.

"My lord! My lord! The little one...the little one is afraid...that, otherwise...the little one will first use ordinary wood to build a smaller ship with eight hundred materials, and practice his skills...I don't know if all the shipwrights under my lord are good at it." What kind of ship do you want to build? If you are young, you should first cooperate with the master craftsmen from Jiaoren Shangguo and try building a few ships first..."

"Huh?...A training to build a sea-going ship with 800 materials? What is the level of the kingdom's shipwrights?..."

Upon hearing this question that struck a chord with his soul, Mickey the Knowledgeable touched his nose and found it difficult to answer for a while. He looked at the sea and sky in the east, and thought of the thousands of busy people working in the southern shipbuilding industry, and the rows of catamaran canoes built in the open air, made of 10 to 20 materials, and long galleys of more than 100 materials. He felt a little embarrassed. replied.

"Ahem! The southern shipbuilding department of the kingdom is directly under the royal capital Shenqi Institute. It is very large and can mobilize the people and material resources of the two southern counties. In the shipbuilding department, there are only civilians who cut wood and burn charcoal, build kilns, and process wood. , there are two thousand people! And there are hundreds of craftsmen and apprentices at all levels... As for the specific appearance, you will know it at a glance when you go there! "

"Ah? A shipyard with 2,000 people! Isn't that bigger than the shipyard in Ganghwa Island, Gyeonggi Province?! Just like the legendary Yongjiang Shipyard in the Kingdom of China... So with the humble level of a villain..."

Shipwright Jin Shanshu opened his eyes wide, imagining what a shipyard of that scale would look like. But it is obvious that the shipyard scene in his imagination should not be completely different from the scene in the memory of the knowledgeable Mickey, but far different...

After a while, Jin Shanshu came back to his senses, kowtowed his head a few times again, and made another inquiry from his soul.

"Sir! Your Majesty! We have been drifting in this desolate and cold Arctic Sea for more than a month. We have traveled eastward for at least five or six thousand miles... This five or six thousand mile journey, on this vast white sea , except for a series of desert islands with hundreds or thousands of savages on the islands... there is not even a decent village to be seen!..."

"God bless you! Going further and further eastward... Not only the villain, but also the other sailors and craftsmen are afraid and confused... Where is the powerful Jiaoren Kingdom that you and other gentlemen say? ? And how far away is that huge shipyard in the south you mentioned?..."

"Hmm? How far is it?..."

Hearing this, Mikey, the knowledgeable man, touched his chin and made some calculations in his mind for a while before he came up with a few real, yet somewhat ethereal and distant figures. They were the voyage and distance that he had carefully recorded along the way. But when these few numbers were spoken and written down on the deck, almost everyone present in North Korea and the Republic of China changed their expressions and lost their souls...

"Witness the Lord God! One or two days east of here is the Kingdom's Shendadi Port! According to Shi Jian, this section of the Shenqi Island Chain starts from Shenshuangyan Port in the west to Shendadi Port in the east. The port, which is the voyage that you have almost traveled before, is about five or six thousand miles..."

"Then, Shen Dadi Port is the starting point of the Shenqi Island Chain. From there to Whale Port, the starting point of the far north coast, there are seven kingdom ports and six sections of voyage, each section is more than a thousand miles... The entire far north coast is approximately A route of six to seven thousand miles…”

"And from Whale Harbor in the far north of the west coast to Beitiaoshi Village in the south of the west coast, there are also seven ports and six voyages, but each segment is only seven or eight hundred miles... The entire west coast has only about five thousand miles of navigation... "

"Finally, go south from Beitiaoshi Village, pass through the estuary of the Leman River, and finally arrive at Trout Town at the estuary of the Tulsas River... This is the West Bay coast of the entire plateau, and it is also shorter, with only four thousand The route…”

"So, the Lord God bless you! Generally speaking, starting from the extreme northern peninsula of the Shenqi Continent, we will travel through the Shenqi Island Chain of five to six thousand miles, the extreme north coast of six to seven thousand miles, and the west coast of five to six thousand miles. , and then pass the 4,000-mile Xiwan coast... which is exactly over 20,000 miles of return journey! A new route of 21,000 miles!"

"And the Lord God has blessed us with the power of the wind! This wind god's sea ship has unparalleled speed. In just over a month, it has completed a quarter of the journey... Now, as long as we keep going all the way, we can go through it again. Three times the distance, that is, more than four months... you will reach the end of this voyage, the long river in the south of the kingdom!..."

Speaking of "Twenty Thousand Miles of Divine Exploration", Mikey, the knowledgeable man, showed excitement in his eyes, and even some enthusiasm from the depths of his soul. He looked around the entire ocean-covering ship. He first smiled and looked at the lost prisoners, who were as if they were mourning for their heirs, and then looked at the excited kingdom warriors who were accompanying the ship.

Along the way, I experienced such a divine exploration and witnessed His Majesty’s prophecies with my own eyes. The faces of the kingdom’s warriors showed pious enthusiasm and eager anticipation! Listening to Mickey's story about the return journey, everyone was so excited that they couldn't control themselves and prayed loudly to the Lord God.

"Praise the Lord God! Praise His Majesty the Divine Enlightenment!...May the Lord God bless you! May the divine sea breeze help!...May we return to the kingdom as soon as possible!..."

There is no doubt that as long as everyone returns to the Lake Kingdom with this new type of sea ship, the exact news of the New World, and these captured craftsmen and sailors...the generous rewards from the kingdom, and even the sacred canonization from the high priests, There will definitely be no shortage of them!

"Haha! Praise the Lord God! If you think about it this way, a sailing ship with this kind of sail is really very fast, very fast, very fast!..."

"It only takes about half a year, and it will be able to travel the two-year route we took before us! This is really the blessing of the Lord God! I can't wait for it!..."

"God bless you! Ahead is God Dadi Port! When we get there, I will hold a grand banquet for everyone to celebrate and boost morale!..."

Ah, the author will continue to come back and update. Well, the school has been a little busy these days, and I also encountered some things. Well, cheer up, I will keep updating.
