The so-called Eye of Shangri-La looks like a pale blue gemstone wrapped in a golden cage.
These golden cages are tiny golden snakes intertwined to form a drop-shaped cage, in which the real Eye of Shangri-La gem is placed.
There is also an inscription written in ancient seal script on the back of the entire golden cage, which means that only the blood of a person with a pure heart can awaken the gem.
Chen Mo played with the gem with a thoughtful expression. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Boss, is this the Eye of Shangri-La? It looks very ordinary." Ada Wang looked at the gem in Chen Mo's hand and did not think it was so magical.
Regarding this, Chen Mo was not surprised at all, but said very calmly: "It's strange that the sacred object has been hidden and inconspicuous, and it's not the time to open it yet."
Although Chen Mo knew how to open the Eye of Shangri-La and knew that there was a fountain of eternal life inside, he was not interested in opening it now.
Of course, he had no interest in giving this thing to the so-called Dragon Emperor.
After putting the Eye of Shangri-La into the box and putting it away, Chen Mo asked Ada Wang: "Has the archaeological team we sent achieved anything? They haven't found the Dragon Emperor's tomb yet?"
"The Dragon Emperor's tomb has been found. They are now looking for the entrance to the tomb. And according to the information provided by China, the Dragon Emperor's tomb is full of mechanisms. It may be very troublesome to open the tomb." Ada Wang also seemed a little annoyed.
His subordinates were dissatisfied, but they still reported the situation to Chen Mo truthfully.
After listening to Ada Wang's report, Chen Mo did not get angry. He rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said, "There is no rush in this matter. Let them take their time. In addition, I will make preparations. I want to go to China in person."
"Boss, you want to go to China in person?" Ada Wang was a little surprised, but she thought it was reasonable: "Then are you conducting a state visit as the king of Egypt, or are you conducting a private visit?
If it is a state visit, you need to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to notify the Chinese side in advance, and at the same time, you need to prepare everything you need for your trip.
If you go as a private person, it is relatively simple, but you must prepare in advance. After all, boss, you are the king now, and you must prepare in advance the security measures for your trip. Things are still quite troublesome.
Especially boss, the place you are going to is still a hidden place in that country. Considering the diplomatic impact and other aspects, this is not an easy job!"
"Let's visit in a private capacity. I don't want to make too much noise about this matter." Chen Mo thought about it and chose a relatively simpler method.
Although he could also hide his identity and enter China in a low-key manner with a false identity, this would indeed save him a lot of trouble, but if something happened, it would add unnecessary trouble.
After all, he is the king of a country no matter what. He can hide his identity and enter other countries without being discovered. Once he is discovered, it will be a serious diplomatic and political incident and it will have a very serious impact.
And for Chen Mo, there is nothing to hide or hide when traveling to China this time, and there is no need to hide his identity in secret.
"Okay, I understand. After that, I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact the Chinese side and inform them that you are about to go to China in a private capacity." After saying that, Ada Wang recorded the incident and also told Chen Mo
Asked: "Boss, are you going to China by plane or by sea and boat?"
Regarding this issue, Chen Mo thought carefully and felt that the current airplanes were not very comfortable in terms of ride comfort, so he still chose to take a boat.
But this time it was not the Blood Sail that carried him. After all, it was still a sailing battleship, which seemed a bit too outdated in this era.
"Prepare a cruiser and a frigate. I will take the warship to China." Chen Mo thought for a while and made a decision.
"Okay, then I will ask the navy to prepare, but along the way we need to borrow British ports for supplies, and we need to inform the British in advance." Ada Wang did not object to Chen Mo sitting on the warship.
Travel.
Although dispatching two warships just for travel feels like a waste of money and people, for the king of a country, this is not a very extravagant behavior.
After all, he is the king of a country, and it is not too much to dispatch two warships to protect his safety.
You must know that the British sent a task force composed of two warships, the Hood and the Counterattack, to sail around the world in order to demonstrate their national strength (show off their wives). The cost was much astonishing.
Not to mention the Great White Fleet of the United States at that time, this is something that quite shows the maritime military power of a country, and cannot be evaluated simply in terms of waste and heavy effort.
However, Chen Mo is still somewhat dissatisfied with the warships currently owned by Egypt.
After all, all the ships are old British ships. Although they are already top-notch weapons in the Middle East, they still cannot hide the fact that they have lagged behind the times.
If you want new ships, you have to wait until two aircraft carriers are completed and put into service.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo almost wanted to postpone his trip until the aircraft carrier was put into service, and then go out on the new aircraft carrier.
Anyway, there is no need to rush the Shangri-La and Fountain of Eternal Life matters, and his two aircraft carriers only need to wait two years before they can be launched.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Mo still did not do so. Instead, he asked Ada Wang to prepare a travel plan according to his previous order.
After all, he was just going out on a boat, not to show off or intimidate anything. A cruiser and a frigate were enough, so there was no need to be too showy.
He was just not satisfied with his own boat, and the idea of getting a better boat was always lingering in Chen Mo's mind, making him feel itchy.
Of course, it is possible to order new warships from the United Kingdom or the United States, but the finances are somewhat unbearable. Even if they want to order, they cannot afford to buy a big ship. They can only buy one or two light cruisers. This obviously does not meet Chen Mo's ideas and requirements.
Of course what he wants is something big like a battleship or aircraft carrier, but Egypt's current finances obviously cannot squeeze out more money to purchase aircraft carriers or battleships.
So is there any way to do it for free?
Chen Mo thought seriously, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind. It seemed that there was a place with multiple battleships and aircraft carriers. Not only could he have prostitutes for free, but it would also give him peace of mind while doing so.
Moreover, this place is not far from the destination of his trip this time, so it is not a waste to make an extra trip.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to rub his hands. The technique of putting ships into bottles that he learned from Blackbeard in Pirates of the Caribbean could be put to use now.
