Banweulu Lake is located in Luapula Province of Zambia. Together with the Banweulu Marsh and the Banweulu Plain, it forms one of the world's largest wetland systems, covering an area of ​​approximately 15,000 square kilometers.

The area of ​​Banwe Ulu Lake is about 3,000 square kilometers, but at the end of the rainy season in May each year, the area increases to 15,000 square kilometers due to the inundation of moorlands and plains, and its average depth is only about 4 meters.

The famous British explorer Livingston spent his last days exploring this area. When he was dying, he didn't figure out how such a large wetland came from.

It took many years for later generations to understand on the basis of his investigation that this wetland system was caused by the flooding of the Zambezi River.

The Zambezi River did not stop in this wetland, but continued to flow and became the origin of the Congo River, except that the section between Lake Banweulu and Lake Mweru was also taken by Lua. Pula river.

The Bumba people regard the Luapura River as their mother river, and the source of the river is naturally the mother's mother.

Banwe Ulu Lake means "the place where the water and the sky meet" in the dialect. It is from here that the queen of the sky came to the earth and became the mother of the Bumba people.

The most common animals in the wetland are crocodiles and hippos, which can also explain why crocodiles are deified in Bumba stories.

The ancestral land of the Bumba people is on the banks of Banwe Ulu Lake, where grand events are held.

In the past, Chief Bemba was the biggest figure in the event, but now there is a bigger figure than Chief Bemba—the President of the Republic of Zambia.

However, in this year's event, people's focus was on an outsider.

The crocodile god is here!

Girl Banda is the most enthusiastic person to promote the identity of Chen Ling’s crocodile god. She brought to life what she saw during bungee jumping, and also cited geographical facts to prove that the crocodile god can run from Lake Banwe Ulu to Zambia West River strolling.

As the daughter of the warchief, Banda speaks a lot; and the warchief does not deny Banda's statement. Therefore, Chen Ling's identity as a crocodile god was confirmed.

Chen Ling didn't care, anyway, after the event was over, he left here.

Wang Mingyue participated in this kind of event for the first time, and the camera shutter kept pressing, taking pictures of the traditional costumes, food, singing and dancing of the Bumba people.

Dr. Hu was a little sad.

A very important part of the activities of the Bemba is the hippo hunting competition, and the crocodile god must participate.

Hippo hunting is very simple. Three people cooperate, one is shaking the canoe, and the other two are standing on the canoe, each holding a spear, and when they see a suitable hippo, they throw a spear to hunt.

It looks simple, but it's actually difficult, and it's dangerous. Because hippos have a high probability of being injured and not dead, they will attack humans in rage.

This kind of thing happens every year in the competition.

In previous years, all the hippo-hunting masters of the Bamba people were pretending to be crocodile gods, so naturally there is no problem in participating in the competition.

However, this year it is Chen Ling, the true crocodile god, personally.

"Mr. Chen, I will go with you in a while." Wang Mingyue finally had enough shots and wanted to follow Chen Ling to the lake to experience hippo hunting.

Dr. Hu stopped her: "You can't go, it's too dangerous."

She looked at the Bumba people who were preparing to hunt the crocodiles. No one seemed to notice her, so she said, "Let's sneak away."

Chen Ling smiled and said: "If you come, you will be at ease. This activity is not that dangerous, and it is too rude for me not to go. Their president and warchief are watching."

The chieftain told him privately that he had already mentioned to the president about the Tanzania-Zambia railway and resource binding. The president will support TAZARA in doing this, but the president needs to communicate this matter with the Tanzanian president.

And next week, there will be a meeting of the Southern African Development Community. The two presidents will meet, which is a good opportunity for them to breathe.

Chen Ling still underestimated the influence of Chief Bemba in Zambia. The most critical condition he originally set for the Tanzania-Zambia Railway was so soon.

Therefore, Chen Ling had to show it.

What's more, TAZARA chairman Mwenet was most excited after receiving the good news. He volunteered to row for Chen Ling!

And girl Banda is to be the assistant of the crocodile god Chen Ling, standing with him on the canoe, hunting hippos.

There is no place for Wang Mingyue at all.

With the drums of war, a dozen canoes for hunting hippos have set off!

...

Hu Xiaoxiao was refreshed and refreshed since he let Li Sheng Nan go away griefly.

She now has a lot of work to manage, and the most urgent one is the formation of a telecommunications operation team. At the same time, launching telecommunications operations in Angola and Algeria is a high starting point and a high challenge.

Subsequently, the installed capacity of the MATE system has recently started to increase dramatically, and various problems have emerged. Fortunately, the system was tested repeatedly at the beginning, and the R&D department was busy and orderly. The MATE system became smoother and smoother, and its functions were getting better and better.

The last job is the digital TV system. Hu Xiaoxiao thought of the easiest way to negotiate directly with Xinghua Technology, and the two parties signed a cooperation agreement. In the future, Xinghua Technology will purchase the MATE system when customers of Xinghua Technology need a management system; when MOIN Company needs digital TV products, Xinghua Technology's digital TV products will be purchased.

The most attractive thing for Xinghua Technology is the telecommunications operating licenses of the two major African countries in Algeria and Angola that MOIN Group’s TATEL Telecom will soon obtain.

Hu Xiaoxiao did not feel soft on his old owner, and learned from Chen Ling's condition, asking Xinghua Technology to provide seller financing.

Simply put, Xinghua Technology won TATEL's communication equipment contract, but TATEL did not pay Xinghua Technology immediately, but had a particularly long billing period.

Moreover, Hu Xiaoxiao has reached a very good price. After all, she is from Xinghua Technology, and she is very clear about Xinghua Technology's price system.

"Let's take a long-term view. We will not only get operating licenses in Algeria and Angola, but also in more countries in the future." Hu Xiaoxiao's words played a big role.

TATEL has only registered, and there are operating licenses from two major countries. Who dares to say that TATEL will not have more licenses in the future?

Facts have also proved that Hu Xiaoxiao is definitely not bragging.

On the second day after the two parties signed the contract, Chen Ling made a request to Hu Xiaoxiao.

"Zambia's telecommunications operating license is basically finalized, and someone is sent over to contact."

Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt pressure: "I just assembled the teams from Algeria and Angola, Zambia has to wait."

Chen Ling understood Hu Xiaoxiao completely, because he knew that things had come so suddenly that he was not even prepared.

The action of the Hippopotamus on Banwe Ulu Lake had an accident.

A canoe encounters a big hippo family. The three young people on the canoe did not give in and directly attacked.

They were not good at learning, only a spear stabbed a small hippo, but they angered a group of big hippos.

More than a dozen blood basins rushed towards the canoe, as if they were about to bite into pieces with the canoe.

Under the panic of the three young men, the canoe was spinning around in place, and they could only fight back with the oars of the rowing boat.

Seeing that the three of them were about to be buried at the bottom of the lake, they would become the hippo's mouth-to-mouth meal, and the spear flew over all the time, accurately hitting the largest hippo in the eye.

Then there was another spear, which accurately hit a big hippopotamus in the eye again.

It was Chen Ling who heard the call for help and made Mweene come to help with a canoe.

However, there are still a lot of hippos, and Chen Ling and the three have also become targets.

Although Banda is still a girl, she is bold, not to mention that she firmly believes that the crocodile god standing next to her will definitely protect herself.

She was not afraid at all, and she opened her teeth and claws at the crocodile, wishing to jump into the water to have a mouth bigger than a hippopotamus.

Chen Ling was afraid that she was too excited, and it would be troublesome if she really fell into the lake. He was about to activate the skill to kill the hippopotamus, but found that the button to borrow the spirit was also lit.

He was very curious, pressing the button for borrowing spirits, and suddenly felt the boundless water vapor condense near the canoe, and the visibility was not more than one meter.

"It's the White Wizard!" The people on the two canoes cheered.

It turns out that in the legend of the Bemba people, Kitty's best friend and powerful white wizard's housekeeping skill is to manipulate the fog, which can be used to trap the enemy or to cover your team.

It was with the help of the white wizard and the crocodile god that Kitty finally gained a foothold on the Luapula River and opened its branches and leaves.

There were a total of six people on the canoe, and the five real Bemba were sure that they would not be the white wizard, so the white wizard could only be Chen Ling.

Chen Ling said, "No, I am not a white wizard, I am a crocodile god!"

Banda changed his words: "White Wizard, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I always thought you were a crocodile god, in fact, you should be a white wizard. The crocodile god should have the skin of a crocodile, you don't have it; and the white wizard is fighting on the water. When I was riding a crocodile!"

Chen Ling thinks that what you said makes sense, just do whatever you want. Anyway, the legend was made up by your Bumba people, and the right to interpret is in your Bumba people's hands.

However, Chen Ling misunderstood the true status of the White Wizard.

The white wizard has a higher status than the crocodile god. Because the crocodile god is a god, but the white wizard is a real person!
