Chapter 2626: The First Time in My Life that the Antarctic Wind Blows

"Brother Yi, is it a favorable wind for us to go now? Is it within the scope of operation to take the wounded around and come back?"

Li Longji learned foreign languages ​​quickly. After ten days, he could communicate normally with the locals.

He learned that the survivors wanted to visit the Tang Dynasty, and the southeast monsoon was still blowing.

The sailboats were fast, and the aircraft carriers took less time to return. They could take things and people back and replenish supplies at the same time.

Li Yi calculated the time: "It is a favorable wind to go back now. The northeast monsoon will not come until the twelfth month of this year. Otherwise, it will be against the wind on the sea when we return, and it will take too long on the road."

"Forget it." Li Longji didn't want to stay outside for more than half a year.

He considered returning to the Tang Dynasty for the New Year. When he returned, the northeast monsoon would blow from the land first and then from the ocean.

At present, he could stay outside for two to three months, go to the two large islands next to him, take the wounded, and consider whether to send people to the Tang Dynasty when he came back.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry and the Navy left a part to take care of local port affairs. When the survivors were sent back after the New Year in the Tang Dynasty, the patients who had been disemboweled would be able to work.

At present, the patient can only stay in the hospital of the aircraft carrier, and he will die if he is abandoned.

A few days later, on the 15th day of the ninth lunar month, most of the ships set off with the aircraft carrier, and other ships were responsible for continuing mining and looking for local tribes of survivors of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone has understood that the living conditions of the indigenous people are very bad, and they have no right to choose in order to survive.

As long as they can see absolute force and absolute welfare, their chiefs are willing to hand over some rights.

When they see houses to live in, pottery and iron weapons, they are the survivors of the Tang Dynasty. Whoever dares to say that they are not will inevitably turn against them.

Leaving Sydney and heading south, there is an island called Tasmania at the bottom of the map.

There are many seafood products in the local area, and there are currently no indigenous people living on it. Other resources are not rich enough, especially mining, which is troublesome to dig.

A port needs to be built locally, and fishing boats will use it in the future. The Tang Dynasty fleet does not mind having too many ports to dock and provide supplies.

Like a hunter's cabin, danger may suddenly appear at any time, such as a typhoon.

There is a dock and port nearby, with enough supplies and food, and the probability of survival will be greatly increased.

Some people from the tribe followed, and the chiefs selected the smart ones and let them learn more.

After discovering the island, some people went ashore to cut trees and build docks. After two days, the wooden house was also built and placed on the beach to dry.

More logs were placed in the selected places with bark to release stress naturally.

Next, we will go to the South Island of New Zealand, about 1,500 kilometers away, with good wind direction, and it is expected to arrive within two days.

The ministers no longer like to watch the sea. They watch it all day and get sick of it.

If the chefs hadn't made seafood in a variety of ways, they would probably have eaten it sick.

"Is there no one on this island?" Li Dan was eating a big crab, a real big crab, a king crab caught by the yacht from the Tasmanian Sea.

It was steamed, but the pot was not big enough to steam it!

He ate 35 kilograms, a kilogram in the Tang Dynasty.

It didn't taste fresh enough, but the advantage was that there was a lot of meat. With one chopstick, it was all meat, in large chunks.

Eat with sauce and vinegar, or three-in-one oil with sesame oil and soy sauce. The meat in the big tongs is mainly eaten, and the meat in other places is used for cooking.

Including the internal organs, if they can be eaten after testing, then they are delicious. Whether they are delicious or not depends on how they are cooked.

Li Yi dipped in chili oil: "There are no people on the two islands now. There are many forests in the local area. The premise is to provide a lot of wood, and then raise sheep.

As long as the previous big island and these two islands are occupied, if they are used for grazing, it will be enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty to eat and use.

In the future, steam engines can go back and forth once a month to transport live sheep back for meat.

Other ships will go back and forth once a year, or come at the end of the monsoon to load dried meat, cheese, and leather, and go back when the other monsoon rises..."

Li Yi knows the local sheep industry too well, and beef cattle are not bad either.

As for minerals and other things, there are better places to provide them, such as the mining industry in the southwest of Australia, and oil doesn't matter.

Use oil from the Middle East, and there are many good open-air oils in the Roman Empire.

Technology will gradually improve and transform into productivity.

When steam engines replace sailing ships, the next generation of diesel ships will begin to replace coal-fired steam engines.

As expected, there was no one on the two islands. Li Yi left the fleet, and the yacht and cruise ship headed for Antarctica.

Li Yi estimated that some people on the ship were going to Antarctica for the first time in their lives, and it might be the last time.

If possible, he would go to the North Pole through the Bering Strait next time.

From here to Antarctica, it is more than 4,000 kilometers relatively inside, and if you go to the outside, it is more than 2,000 kilometers.

Without the drag of other ships, the two ships, one large and one small, sped up.

Li Yi glanced at the speedometer, 40 knots, and he was too lazy to curl his lips.

"Brother Yi, the speed of the ship feels about the same as the last time we went to Vladivostok."

Li Longji was originally on the deck and was blown in by the wind. The feeling of opening the window when there was no speed limit on the highway at the beginning was the same as on the deck now, and he was blown down accidentally.

"Normal, 40 knots, more than 70 kilometers." Li Yi didn't go out at all.

"More than 70 kilometers is this speed? Xiao Yi, do you think I believe it?"

Bi Gou just stuck his head out and was almost choked by the wind.

"Do you believe that the natives are the survivors of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yi asked back.

"I believe it! I understand it." Bi Gou suddenly realized it.

"It looks like we can get there in a day and a half, about 4,000 kilometers. Don't hit the ice. It's just summer in Antarctica."

Li Yi didn't want to get another cruise ship temporarily. It's quite expensive. If he really wanted to change, he should change to a tanker with diesel.

When the time comes, run beside and refuel at any time. I believe the speedometer can also reach 40 knots. The tanker itself consumes a lot of fuel.

Thirty hours later, the speed of the two ships slowed down. The drone went forward with sonar. If you see an iceberg, you have to let the ship adjust its direction quickly.

Cruise ships have inertia when sailing. You can't stop whenever you want.

Yachts can drift, and cruise ships float...

"It's summer, why is it still so cold?"

Seeing the slow speed, the ministers ran out to see the situation. It's cold! Liu Youqiu, who was wearing a military coat, cried out that it was cold, his face was frozen, and his nose was snotty.

"It's probably a late spring cold." Lu Huaishen wore an extra mask and felt it was hard to breathe. He explained.

"Is this the South Pole, where the world is cold all year round?"

Dou Lu Guifei breathed, and frost appeared on her eyelashes. She was not very cold, and she was wearing fur clothes.

"Uncle, are there any Tang survivors here?" Queen Wang wore the same fur, and put her sleeves together and stretched out her hands.

"No!" Li Yi was sure that there were no native residents in Antarctica.

He continued: "There are in the Arctic, but you can't farm in Antarctica. Next time we go to the Arctic, we will see the Tang survivors in the Arctic.

I feel that the survivors there are real survivors, from skin color to appearance, they are similar to us.

They live in ice houses and raise sled dogs. Affected by the climate, they can eat local raw meat, anyway, they don't starve."
