Zhangsun Chong's mind was spinning. During the afternoon lecture, Li Tai had talked about world geography.
The group of youths gasped in amazement. They couldn't understand how Li Tai knew that the world was so big. However, it did not stop them from listening to the lesson seriously.
From Li Tai's lecture, they knew why they were participating in the training. It was to earn more money in the future.
According to Li Tai's description, the distant American continent had corn that could prevent the Great Tang from facing a food crisis. There were sweet potatoes. There was also gold everywhere. If they could successfully open the sea route from the Great Tang to America, the first batch of people would be as rich as a country.
Everyone's blood was boiling. Only then did they understand what Li Tai was plotting.
No matter how much money he earned in the Great Tang, he was still earning the money of the Great Tang.
However, if they opened up the American route, it would be a big deal. It would be like picking up money from America. In addition to America, there was the even richer continent of Africa. It was also a place filled with gold and resources.
The world was so big that there were all kinds of strange things. The environment that Li Tai described made all the youths yearn for it.
The yearning to cross the ocean.
The world was so big.
It turned out that the world was far from being as simple as the Great Tang.
In their hearts, the furthest place was India. However, after explaining the world's geography, he found out that there was the Mediterranean Sea, the European continent, and ancient Rome to the west of India...
If they wanted to go out to sea, the furthest place they could go was Fusang. He did not expect that there was the American continent that was further away from Fusang. It was a place more than ten times larger than the Great Tang.
These places made them feel extremely emotional. In the future, we will all be seafaring armies!
Although he only gave a rough explanation of the world's geography and did not go into detail, it still left a deep impression in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhangsun Chong tried his best to recall for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
"The best route is through the Bering Strait.”
"If the weather is cold and a large area of the Bering Strait freezes, what should we do?" Li Tai smiled.”
Zhangsun Chong pondered for a moment."
"If you really want to go back and forth, you can only cross the Pacific Ocean. Crossing the Pacific Ocean is a gamble of life. Instructor, you said that the Pacific Ocean is extremely dangerous and vast. Then, we have to estimate whether the risk of a round trip is proportional to the benefits, and whether it is worth risking our lives. If it was worth risking his life, then he would cross the Pacific Ocean!”
"Of course, if we want to cross the Pacific Ocean and reduce the risk, we have to plan a route. The instructor had mentioned that there was a route along the Pacific Ocean that involved Nakajima, Midway Island, and the Hawaiian Islands. These were all rest stops and shelters. If we have to cross the Pacific Ocean, then we'll take this route. When returning, it would depend on the weather. If they could go through the Bering Strait, they would go through the Bering Strait. If he couldn't, then there was no harm in betting his life again!”
Li Tai thought for a moment and couldn't help but praise,"
"Zhangsun Chong, you are very serious about your studies. These are indeed the most reliable routes. You can rest now. That person…"
"I'm here, Master."
"Give Zhangsun Chong an extra meal."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhangsun Chong heaved a sigh of relief and followed Li Tai's entourage to have supper with a smile.
When the others saw Zhangsun Chong leave, they couldn't help but feel envious. They had also heard about these things, but they couldn't remember…
Now, they had completely remembered these points. These were all life-saving skills when the Great Voyage Era started in the future!
The sea was far more dangerous than they had imagined.
However, if he could conquer this sea under the leadership of the Fourth Prince, how wonderful would his life be?
At this moment, no one noticed. Li Shiming, Cheng Yaojin, and the others had already climbed up Mount Maiji and were watching everything from afar…
After a long silence, Li Shi Min frowned in the dark and asked,"
"They…are going out to sea?"
Cheng Yaojin's expression also changed drastically when he heard about the Pacific Ocean, the straits, and the gamble of life. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Chumo worriedly.
"I…I don't know!"
