The world enters the age of myth

Prime Minister Zhang showed a smile and said to the emperor: "Yes, the method of raising giant tortoises is not too big or too small, so it is just right as a gift."

"By accepting the gift from us, the gentle group within them will overwhelm the tough group outside and bring us more communication opportunities. We still brought a lot of good things this time!"

"Reciprocity is the traditional culture of most countries. Civilizations that do not understand this culture are mostly barbaric and backward. They are all barbarians and do not communicate. I believe the other party should also have such a culture."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully and nodded.

When wealth gathers, people disperse, and when wealth disperses, people gather together. The ancient saying is indeed true.

In this way, as the fleet continued to advance, the Giant Turtle Kingdom also discovered something special about this planet.

The land area is really too small, and all the way there is the vast ocean.

The Giant Turtle Civilization has raised some eagles, and these eagles can detect surrounding islands at high altitudes. But most of the entire planet is covered with sea water. After traveling for so many days, no land was found, not even a small island.

The heavenly secret was deceived. Their heavenly master was originally able to calculate the location of the land, but now, he cannot calculate it at all.

Most of the abilities could no longer be used, which made them very panicked.

After consulting Xuanwu, Xuanwu just shrank his head and didn't know what to ask.

I have no choice but to keep going.

"...It can only be regarded as a disaster for the world itself."

It wasn't until the eighth day that they observed sporadic land and traces of civilization.

"Finally...land appears!"

The long voyage almost made them mistakenly believe that there is no land in this world.

The first island they passed was the territory of the Sky Eyes. There were a small number of fishermen fishing nearby. After seeing the transport ship, the fishermen showed curiosity. This transport ship did not belong to any civilization and came from the outside world.

However, they were not too curious, and instead reported the clues to the patrol force of the Sea of ​​Clouds Alliance as quickly as possible.

Nowadays, fishermen have been taught common sense and can just report any unknown situation.

Since they had been notified in advance, these reports did not cause any hindrance.

Next, the giant turtle man saw a lot of cannons!

There are a large number of cannons placed on the coastline. At first glance, it seems that there are as many as a hundred cannons! The black muzzle shone with metallic luster.

The Sky-Eye people are a very strange race. They advocate force, advocate ascetic culture, eat only one meal a day, and have a so-called "vegetarian day." Although the "gods" they once worshiped were summoned, killed, and dissected into pieces, the crazy ascetic culture did not disappear completely.

They believe that during self-destruction, the human soul can mutate and evolve, and this is how they got their third eye.

Therefore, there are a large number of ascetics in the Sky Eye Kingdom who live a life of self-abuse all day long.

As the third most powerful civilization in the alliance, they buy cannons whenever they have money.

They believe that this violent weapon is a symbol of aesthetics and can shock the enemy to the greatest extent.

As a result, more than a hundred cannons really shocked the giant turtle man!

This number is too many. Even their giant turtle civilization does not have so many cannons.

"Your Majesty, the number of artillery pieces in our giant turtle civilization is only about eighty. The main reason is that it is difficult for us to produce artillery shells... How come this civilization has so many cannons."

"Could it be a fake?"

"It doesn't look like... it doesn't make sense to put the products here..."

The young emperor was a little out of sorts. He didn't know where the country came from, but it was obvious that he was stronger than them. He always had an unpleasant feeling.

He had a very strange premonition that perhaps what he saw and heard this time would be beyond his imagination!

Along the way, most of the islands were deserted, which made them feel a little relieved.

After entering the inner area of ​​the island, they passed through the territory of the Yuzhu Civilization. Since the Yuzhu Kingdom was relatively poor, the royal family had low vanity. Apart from weaving, they had no special background. They only bought 20 cannons. Place it on the coastline.

The black muzzle made the visiting giant turtle man feel a little puzzled.

20 units is not a lot.

I didn’t expect that the civilization that settled here had cannons.

Whether or not there are cannons is indeed two different things in war. As long as you have these heavy weapons and want to attack these countries, you must consider the risk of war.

If a cannonball hits, even a giant turtle will be at risk of being injured and killed.

Not long after, the transport ship passed through the territory of the Jin Empire.

There were only about twenty cannons placed on the edge of the Jin Dynasty's roundabout. This country looks much wealthier than several other countries, and there is quite a lot of business activity on the docks.

The commercial district of Jin Kingdom is the most prosperous area besides the Sea of ​​Clouds Capital. It is very close to the Sea of ​​Clouds Capital and has developed logistics.

The tax on transactions here is very low, so some small transactions are conducted here.

Finally, these transport ships followed the destroyer of the Sea of ​​Clouds and arrived near the dock of the Capital of the Sea of ​​Clouds.

It's strange that there are no cannons placed here, but what comes oncoming is a majestic momentum that is difficult to describe in words!

Countless ships, large and small, stayed on the pier. In the military area to the north, there were about twenty warships, large and small, undergoing maintenance, whether they were destroyers or aircraft carriers.

The combat capabilities of these warships are much stronger than cannons!

The warships in the City of Clouds all use missiles, and they are not false. Apart from the long main guns, there are almost no cannons.

On the other side are a large number of fishing boats, transport ships, and a small number of cruise ships to provide tourists with travel.

Various robotic arms on the dock come and go, loading and unloading large amounts of cargo quickly, and containers pile up like mountains filling the entire dock. A round-the-island train coming from afar made a "woo-woo" whistle and loaded a large amount of cargo.

There are also trucks transporting containers to various areas of the central island.

The endless flow of logistics, motivated workers, and some automatically working robotic arms, such a bustling scene, simply shocked the visiting team of Giant Turtle Civilization!

"This...this...is this a world without disasters?" Prime Minister Zhang sighed sincerely.

The world of technological civilization.

The giant turtle civilization has been wandering on the Yang River for more than twenty years, and has also visited continents with technological civilization, but these former civilizations have been reduced to ruins by disasters.

This was the first time they had seen such a prosperous technological civilization.

Another freighter filled with wood passed next to their ship.

The wise old master heard the lively conversation on the ship. He didn't know what this group of businessmen were talking about, but he could vaguely feel that these people were in a happy mood and full of hope for life!

For the various civilizations in the Sea of ​​Clouds Alliance, the most profitable trade opportunity currently is to mine wood from other desert islands!

The construction of the City of Clouds, especially the manufacturing of various furniture, requires wood resources. For furniture such as tables, chairs, and bedside tables, cold metal can never compare to wood.

This is the biggest business opportunity right now!

After cutting the wood, you can make money by just driving it to the Sea of ​​Clouds City. It’s so simple and hassle-free!

Of course, indiscriminate deforestation occurs in many places, which will destroy the ecological balance of the island and even cause desertification.

In response to this situation, the City of Clouds can only formulate more policies, such as the "Restricted Cutting Order", which requires that trees be replanted after being cut down. If the work is not done well afterwards, the wood will be returned. !

There are too many miscellaneous and trivial matters, which is also very troublesome.

But for the giant tortoise civilization, such a busy scene is simply unbelievable to the extreme. Safety and stability are such precious things.

After all, they are not a real technological civilization.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister Zhang!" Prime Minister Zhang suddenly heard someone calling him and turned around quickly.

One general swallowed and said, "I saw that turtle!"

"What... what turtle?"

"Look, it's the turtle we sent out! It seems to have been tamed."

Prime Minister Zhang picked up a telescope and his expression changed. The giant turtle they sent out was swimming happily in the sea!

There is a small boat next to the giant turtle, and the giant turtle swims with this boat.

What's going on, has it been tamed? !

Prime Minister Zhang was extremely surprised, how could this be possible? !

The domestication of the giant tortoise is very complicated. It is not like ordinary tortoises, but has preliminary wisdom. Faced with strangers, it simply ignores them.

The giant tortoises I encountered at first were just a group of huge wild animals, and they were successfully tamed with the help of the power of "Xuanwu".

As a result, he was tamed in just a few days?

How is this possible?

The chips he wanted to give away suddenly disappeared, and Prime Minister Zhang was a little confused for a moment. Everything they had prepared in advance was in vain, and he didn't know what to do.

On the contrary, the young emperor, seeing the blank faces of the older generation, became happy for some reason. He said: "Prime Minister Zhang, now that the meeting gift we prepared is gone, they seem to have domesticated the giant tortoise, what should we do? ?”

"...Just pretend you don't know and just give it away!"

Prime Minister Zhang said shamelessly: "As the saying goes, 'Send goose feathers thousands of miles away, the gift is light but the affection is heavy.' As long as we give a gift, the other party will still return the gift no matter what."

Can it still be like this?

The emperor's nostrils flexed twice, a little disdainful of the treachery of these old people.

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. Young people like him really don't have the shame to do such a thing.
