Taking off from Natal, there is an uninhabited island 380 kilometers out to sea.
Later it became a Brazilian national seaside park and tourist attraction.
But it was actually discovered decades later, in 1503, by a expedition funded by Portuguese nobles, and it was later used as a penal colony.
The island is very small, no more than ten kilometers long.
The military value is not high. Even if it is used as a naval battle supply base, materials must be transported from inland.
Zhou Li'an didn't think much about this island.
The main thing I want to think about is...
Spain managed Central America, while Portugal followed closely and controlled Brazil.
Of course Spain is easy to deal with, they are here to kill you.
But Brazil has a long way to go, and balance is not easy to control in a short period of time.
If we really want to "establish a flag and establish a system", it will cost a lot.
The best option that can be thought of at the moment is to let Portugal work as a wage earner to help the Balance open up wasteland, and then the Balance will go on a crusade.
At the same time, Spain cannot help China and the United States, and will definitely go to South America to cause trouble.
When two teeth fight, the situation is very different.
Of course, if the balanced population growth rate is ideal, it would be best to develop it yourself.
The kingdom of God now has millions of people. After the city-state alliance is included, they will be scattered into various tribes, which will probably gain a population of more than 3.5 million.
After all, this was still the beginning of the 15th century, far before later generations would estimate the total population before the Spanish landed.
The Incas claimed to have a population of tens of millions, but Zhou Li'an gave it a discount, saying it had a population of 7 million.
If you eat them all in a balanced manner, you will be able to reach a body mass of tens of millions.
With five years as the goal, through the Inca invasion, it is estimated that the great unification can be achieved before 1420.
Taking another 50 years as statistics, by 1470, the equilibrium population would be roughly 25 million.
This population growth rate has been simulated based on the highest standard of modern population growth rate.
Take the large Eastern countries as an example. From 1960 to 2010, the population growth doubled.
The equilibrium figure is from 10 million to 25 million, which is already beyond the modern level.
And what you need to know is that the balanced production level is not enough to match modern times.
Whether this fertility goal can be achieved is unknown.
However, if it can be achieved, a total of 25 million people will be enough to complete complete control of the Americas.
Zhou Li'an also knows that it is too early to think about these things now, and he can only take one step at a time, but it is always good if he has a general outline in his mind and can extend it into several development lines.
It takes about half an hour to take off.
Relying on the rough guidance of the airborne sextant combined with modern maps, an isolated island in the sea appears below.
Zhou Li'an lowered his altitude and hovered over the island.
This aroused the admiration of everyone in the cabin.
"How can there be such a small island in the middle of the ocean?"
"Are there humans on this island?"
Snow Girl also heard the shouting from behind, and looked sideways at Zhou Li'an with great interest: "Master, are we going to land?"
Zhou Li'an smiled and said: "We won't land here. This is an uninhabited island, formed by the movement of the seafloor crust. At this time, we are just letting you see the magic of natural creation."
"Even without the control of my divine power, the world will naturally reproduce and evolve strange things."
"Just like the human race on this earth, Blue Star has existed for billions of years and has experienced the rise and extinction of biological creatures several times. The emergence of the human race is a miracle of life."
"It is precisely because of this miracle that I feel compassion and do not want you to sink into misery."
The snow girl's eyes were not big, but very bright. She smiled at this time: "Master, the snow girl sincerely praises you!"
After showing off, raise the altitude and set sail again.
It's not that Zhou Li'an is too lazy to land...
He had plenty of time to go to East Africa, and he actually wanted to see this clean world that had not been polluted by industry.
Taking people along is also to increase their knowledge and gain access to the wonderful and true knowledge of the world.
only--
The plane is fully loaded with fuel before takeoff, and trying to land with a loaded load when there is no take-off and landing runway is a life-threatening situation.
Unless the fuel is discharged, but the fuel is precious, Zhou Li'an will put it into the system space bucket by bucket.
The balanced petroleum manufacturing plant area has not yet reached the standard of manufacturing aviation fuel.
Save if you can.
For the next five hours, the plane flew smoothly.
With the flying experience of the past few days, Tiaoyu and others are no longer so afraid.
Only two hours later, Zhou Li'an started the automatic cruise driving, went to the cabin to bless the creatures, and had a simple meal with them.
Until 11:30 am.
Zhou Li'an calculated the approximate mileage and lowered the altitude.
Yuki-onna, who was sitting in the cockpit with him, looked at the continental shelf looming outside the windshield and suddenly exclaimed——
"The Old Continent is the Old Continent!"
"Master, we are here?!"
Zhou Li'an can understand her feelings very well.
From one end of the world to the other, this is the sense of accomplishment that countless sailing explorers pursue and love.
Even Zhou Li'an himself felt hot in his heart.
It’s been three years since I got the system, and I’m finally entering the world dungeon!
And as the snow girl exclaimed.
Everyone in the cabin also saw the scene outside the window and marveled and praised him again and again.
The advantage of fixed-wing propeller aircraft is that they can fly at ultra-low speeds and at low altitudes.
When you get to the coastline.
The altitude of the aircraft was controlled above 100 meters.
On the coastline, there were faint villages and fishing boats scattered in the sea.
"It's the human race!"
"The human race of the old land!"
Guinea-Bissau has been an important fishing port in North Africa since ancient times. Whether human beings migrate or settle, they live in pursuit of water and grass.
Even though Guinea-Bissau is still more than 200 kilometers away from Niani, the capital of the "Mali Empire", it is still a prosperous gathering area of tribal clans.
Thirty years later, this offshore port "Bissau" would become a Portuguese colony and establish a slave trading center.
Flying over land, Zhou Li'an gained some altitude and continued to the northeast while maintaining visibility.
The exclamations from behind the cabin never stopped.
The snow girl curiously asked: "Master, why haven't we landed yet?"
Zhou Li'an did not answer.
The plane still has enough fuel, but it has reached the landing load range.
He continued to go northeast, along the upper reaches of the "Niger River", looking for Niani, the capital of the Mali Empire.
After getting close, land and transfer to H225.
However, Zhou Li'an had no intention of staying in the Mali Empire and arriving.
One is due to language barrier.
North Africa is influenced by the culture of belief in Allah and mostly uses Arabic.
On the other hand, there is no need to come.
This trip is just passing by, and I haven’t fully understood the huge business in America yet. How can I find the time to open a “branch” in Africa?
But even so.
Zhou Li'an still plans to take everyone to the sky to see the most prosperous ancient country in North Africa.
Half an hour later, we were more than 200 kilometers away.
City-states are gradually appearing on the earth. The farther you go to the upper reaches of the Niger River, the denser the city-states and settlements become.
We found a landing point in a wilderness again.
Bang, bang!
The crash sound of the plane landing was heard, and the earth and rocks swept up by the strong wind crackled against the fuselage.
However, everyone has long lost their fear, but is full of expectations of setting foot on the old soil for the first time.
When the plane stops, the roar of the engine is no longer there.
The cockpit door opens.
Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu appeared in front of everyone.
Tiaoyu trembled with excitement: "My lord, I, we are here?! Is this the old land?"
"Yes, we are here."
Zhou Li'an opened the cabin door.
When the first ray of air from the old soil hits the surface, it is moist and hot.
Everyone then followed our Lord down the "Wings of Glory".
Tiaoyu and others couldn't help but run in the wilderness. Even the snow girl squatted down, grabbed a handful of gravel and rubbed it.
They looked towards the forest in the distance again, and were lost in thought for a while, unable to extricate themselves.
After a long time, Zhou Ruonan noticed that my lord was motionless and asked softly: "My lord, aren't you happy? But what happened to the valley of the city-state alliance?"
Listen to her inquiries.
The snow girl also noticed something strange.
Our Lord is indeed in a trance, as if his thoughts are far away and he has descended into a distant place.
However, Zhou Li'an shook his head and did not explain.
With a wave of his backhand, he first took out two seats, and then created a large number of fuel barrels: "Ming Tiaoyu and others, please fill in the fuel!"
Zhou Li'an sat down.
His expression became dull again.
Just because a moment ago——
【bite!】
[Dear, congratulations on your successful landing in Africa...]
[There are now "language gift packages" for you to choose from——]
[1. African Continent Language Pack (Basic Edition), including popular languages in ancient countries and important regions in Africa in this century. 】
[2. African continent language pack (high-quality version), in addition to prosperous areas and ancient Chinese, also adds indigenous languages of all tribes in Africa, priced at US$2.88 million.]
[3. African Continent Language Pack (Deluxe Edition), fast loading in 1 second, painless updates, available with purchase; priced at US$6.66 million!]
Zhou Li'an opened the system and saw three options again. After reading for a while, he realized how amazing the system was!
The basic version is free and has few language options.
Even without an introduction, Zhou Li'an can roughly list several types——
Egyptian (Coptic), the terminal branch of the ancient Egyptian language.
In later generations, it became a spoken dialect, and the number of people who knew it became extremely rare, but it is still circulated in many places today.
Arabic, influenced by the culture of Allah in North Africa, is spoken in many places.
Then there are the first-class ancient Chinese languages of the Mali Empire, and the native dialects of the Ghana Empire that has been annexed by Mali.
and Swahili and Hausa, the most important languages in Africa.
The general description is available in most languages. Even in East Africa, Swahili and Arabic are the main languages.
Otherwise, the arrival of Zheng He's fleet would not be able to meet the communication needs.
There are Arab guides in the fleet.
The "high-quality version" is priced at 2.88 million, which includes a variety of tribal languages in central and southern Africa.
Each tribe lives in isolation and has no common language, and there may be thousands of language versions.
However, Zhou Li'an does not plan to open a branch of the Kingdom of Balance in Africa and will not have too many interactions with the indigenous people in the depths.
Even if it passes by on this trip, it will not come to most areas.
Otherwise, if you are infected with malaria, the incubation period can last for several years, and there may be a major outbreak when you return to the Kingdom of God.
Besides, even if you want to explore Africa, you will colonize from the outside in. There is no need to bring blessings to each tribe.
Africa already has a relatively developed civilization foundation.
Therefore, in terms of cost performance, the “basic version” is the most delicious.
But the system is stuck on the last "deluxe version"——
The content is the same as the premium version.
But there is an additional "one second loading, painless update"!!
Zhou Li'an still can't forget the painful torture of loading the language pack for the first time, and Gou System's sarcasm can still be heard——
My language pack is a bit big, you have to bear with it.
So, who knows how big the African language pack is?
Can't you bear it?
The system is grasping its weak point.
But the problem is——
"6.66 million, are you going too far? At the beginning, you only sold the American language pack for 88,888 US dollars! Now you have doubled it 70 times??"
[Dear, the first language pack is a benefit for newbies, and there is a discount! 】
Hahaha.
Isn't it just money?
"I want the deluxe version!"
[Ding, 6.66 million US dollars was successfully deducted! 】
[The language pack is about to be loaded...]
[Warm reminder: This loading is painless, you will feel dizzy for about 1 second, and will not cause any harm to the body.]
[Loading countdown: 3, 2, 1...start! 】
Zhou Li'an felt his eyes darken, as if he met an old professor who talked nonsense when he was in school, which made him unbearably sleepy, and he nodded violently and took a nap.
[Ding, loading successful!]
When the prompt sounds.
Zhou Li'an already feels that there is countless information stored in his mind, and thousands of American and African indigenous dialects can be switched seamlessly.
Look at it this way.
6.66 million knives is not a loss!
Just with this language ability, he is still a top linguist in this world, earning an annual salary of millions.
The language pack is done.
Zhou Li'an provided tables and chairs for several other creatures, and then continued on the road after having lunch.
Zhou Ruoyu was tired from running and realized that the old road was just that, not to mention that the weather was so hot that he was already sweating profusely in just a few minutes.
He came closer to Zhou Li'an and said, "My lord, do you still want to have hot pot for lunch today?"
Zhou Li'an smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of spicy food anymore?"
"Afraid? How can a true warrior be afraid of spicy food!"
Zhou Li'an produced two packs of hot pot base ingredients and threw them on the table: "Today you will be responsible for everyone's food."
"Okay." The young man started playing with it excitedly.
The base material was ready-made, and our Lord also created purified water. The most difficult thing was the installation of the gas stove. He figured it out for a while and learned it by himself.
Not long after, the hot pot was steaming hot on the small table.
Even in this scorching summer, the tangy aroma whetted everyone's appetite.
Zhou Ruonan was also very hot and asked the snow girl for advice: "Witch, is it so hot in the old land? Then how do people here survive? Farming and laboring will be difficult in the long-term scorching heat."
The snow girl said: "This place belongs to the Mali Empire and is close to the equator!"
"What is the equator?"
The snow girl glanced at Tiaoyu and others who were refueling: "You guys answer, what is the equator."
Tiaoyu, Zhou Wangshan, Zhou Yusheng and others who were suddenly called out all had pale faces.
It’s just Zhou Yusheng, his level of law is not high to begin with.
But jumping fish and Zhouwang Mountain are all Temple Mount monks.
The two looked at each other and racked their brains before stumbling to answer: "My lord, Wu, I once remembered that the secret book of the law of the earth said that the equator is the baseline for dividing latitude, distinguishing the north and south of the earth..."
Jumping Fish was not confident at first.
But when he talked about longitude and latitude, he suddenly discovered that it was directly related to the "positioning method" he had learned.
Timing, conversion, and positioning rely on the longitude and latitude on the large atlas as the basis.
Final summary: “It’s hot near the equator because the equator is closest to the sun!”
The snow girl nodded slightly, "Don't neglect the practice of the secrets of laws. How can you still be so unsure of something you have practiced before? It's all because you haven't learned and applied it..."
"Otherwise, in the Dzogchen test at the end of this year, can you break through to the first level of Dzogchen?"
"Since my lord has brought you here on this trip, he has high hopes for you. Are you going to let my lord down?"
Snow Girl taught her a lesson, which made Tiaoyu flushed and excited. She turned to Zhou Li'an and knelt down——
"My lord, the jumping fish will definitely live up to your attention and gift!"
It was a small incident that did not cause any waves.
The hot pot is cooked and everyone enjoys it.
Zhou Ruoyu kept asking for advice on how to prepare the hot pot base!
Zhou Li Anquan was supposed to relieve his boredom and taught him three kinds of dishes: northern mutton hot pot, Sichuan spicy hot pot, and southern hot pot.
After meal.
Everyone will also board the "Wings of Glory".
But with a wave of my lord's hand, the behemoth disappeared on the spot!
No matter how many times they saw the miracle, they were always shocked.
Without waiting for them to ask back.
H225 has appeared.
No matter how low the speed of a fixed-wing aircraft is controlled, it cannot be lower than the vertical takeoff and landing of a helicopter.
Zhou Li'an originally did not plan to come to the Mali Empire, but now there is a language pack update...
Then equilibrium appears.
Let them know the existence of the only true God in the world!!
