Chapter 422: Finding a Needle in the Sea


When Xiao Lu heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is Da Pingyang" "This" Cui Ming said: "Because Da Pingyang is big." ”Xiao Lu said: "If this is the case, I will choose Beiyang, now Beiyang is a no-man's land, and scientific research ships and personnel are prohibited from entering."

The buffer zone deepened by a hundred kilometers.The Great Serpent has been sealed by wandering and sleeping underground. ”Cui Ming suddenly remembered that when he and Beiyue went to the North Pole, about a day after the dragon girl left, the crow appeared in front of him, and provided him with a lot of food and daily necessities, seeing that all the food was food that could be stored for a long time.At that time, I guessed that the Fire Cult had a temporary base nearby to observe the situation in the Arctic in order to make a quick response.Now that I think about it, the den of the crow is not too big in the Beiyang Beiyang, the long type, the area is only 20% of the Great Pingyang, and there are more than 4,000 islands.It can also be considered a no-man's land.At the same time, there is no navy in Beiyang, and Twilight originally planned to attack Beiyang, but in the Battle of Shadow Island, the elite was lost, coupled with the dragon attack and the cold weather, it is possible to build a den there without being discovered for decades.The Fire Alliance countries have two sea outlets in the Beiyang, these two sea ports provide the trade and transportation needs of the middle voyage of the Central Continent, and they are also a very important means of internal trade and transportation of the Fire Alliance, which can directly bypass the Spark Desert and allow the Fire Alliance to realize the internal trade of the eastern and western city-states of the Fire Alliance at a low cost.There was a small boat that had gone off track, transporting materials, food, and coal towards its destination that would not seem to be detected.Xiao Lu's reminder is very right and reasonable.Although it is more secluded and safe in the Great Plains, the North Ocean is dark under the lights.Moreover, the Beiyang is not small, with more than 4,000 islands, and it is not possible for a few people to find them.Once there are many people who launch, the news will inevitably leak, and the crow will definitely have a backup plan to retreat.Not bad, not bad, good place, retreat can retreat to the Fire Alliance country, the Starfire Desert, so that the crow always controls the initiative.Sora rejoices and deduces the hiding area where the crow might be used, but the search is too difficult.There were fewer people, how could the vast sea find more people to go, and he ran away in advance.Do you want to be bored and spend decades searching the Beiyang slowly and slowly searching the past Cui Ming took out the map, the only clue is the time when the North Pole met the dragon girl, and then met the crow, a total of fifteen hours, the dragon girl arrived at a certain place first, and the crow came to find him again, and two hours could be deducted halfway, because the two of them had to talk, prepare things, and think about it.Thirteen hours, that's six and a half hours away.Under normal circumstances, the speed of the cultivators walking is about the same, Cui Ming calculated it with the Northern Moon as the standard, and then drew a circle on the map, which was quite good, not only including most of the area of Beiyang, but also the land of the three continents.Li Qing next to the idea: "Can you start with the procurement ship, the demand for coal must be very high, and there is also a demand for food." ”"The only way to know where to go is to keep an eye on the two ports, and each ship to track to see if there are any ships that are off course."

It's very difficult, the Fire Alliance has a large population, and sixty percent of the trade between the east and the west is by sea, and the two ports of Beiyang have passenger ships, fishing boats, and so on.Cui Ming said: "According to what I know about crows, he won't do something in a hurry.I think this hideout was prepared a long time ago, and the purpose may not be to use it now, but to provide a backup plan.According to this reasoning, this hiding place is very hidden and difficult to find.At the same time, there must have been a lot of hoarding of supplies, such as coal. ”Xiao Lu said: "But the food is not good, compressed biscuits, air-dried meat, etc., may be able to eat for a month or two."

But vegetables are absolutely indispensable.Even with refrigeration technology, vegetables were replenished at least once a month, thousands of years ago in the Maritime Century, when there was no technology to preserve vegetables, which made seafarers susceptible to septicaemia.Vegetables must not be missing. ”"You can grow it yourself" Cui Ming denied, there are a lot of people, at least one or twenty people, such a large number of people rely on reclamation to grow vegetables to obtain food, and a group of people are needed to grow vegetables.Cui Ming said: "This is an extraordinary time, the crows didn't kill me, they must be very vigilant."

According to his character, if he had to replenish vegetables and fruits, I would not use ordinary people, but practitioners. ”The cultivator carries a few hundred catties, and as long as the volume does not interfere, it does not interfere with the cultivator.Except for those who are equivalent to the force like Cui Ming.Cui Ming said: "Leopard girl, we are going to two ports to squat and guard the leopard girl." ”Li Qing objected: "Is it useful to squat, and it will definitely be discovered after tracking to the sea."

We can't force the leopard girl. ”Cui Ming said: "Then get rid of her." ”Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "Let me make it clear first, I just guessed that it is not in the Great Plains, it is more likely to be in the North Ocean." ”In the contest between Crow and Cui Ming at this level, Xiao Lu is self-aware.Sometimes it is ordinary people who can break the game of smart people, and their ideas are simple, not too tortuous and complicated, but they can point to the point of the problem.Or say three stinkers, equal to one Zhuge Liang.Either they also say that one person is a dragon and three people are insects, or they also say that the three monks have no water to drink.Cui Ming smiled: "Aveline has a trick, she can track her prey, if she helps, it may not be impossible."

So let's divide our troops into two routes, two ports.If Leopard Girl appears in one port and Aveline is in another, then don't alarm her. ”Li Qing said: "Senior brother, this strategy is a bit passive. ”Cui Ming said: "Helpless, there is no other good way." ”"Okay, but we'll have to pull in a few thugs, I don't know what's going on with the crows."

Xiao Lu said again: "I'm not sure about Beiyang, I'll say it casually." ”I really don't know where it is, and I don't have any sense of direction.Cui Ming only knew that it was at sea by buying materials, because some materials were to be corroded by seawater, and as long as they were close to the sea, anything could be corroded by seawater.Cui Ming must be the ocean, which is specific to him who thinks that the ocean is flat, which makes sense.Beiyang looks more like, and it is more convenient in terms of minimum supplies.Left and right, let's try it first.The good news is that if the leopard girl appears in two ports, it means that Beiyang is right.Five days later, Cui Ming, Aveline, and Li Qing arrived at the port of Glo, and Xiao Lu, Wei Wei, and Ye Ying went to the port of Bol.Ye Ying was brought by Cui Ming, and he made a phone call and said that he needed Ye Ying.Ye Xin didn't ask what to do, only asked how urgent it was, where it was.Explain Ye Ying, everything is under Cui Ming's command.Glo and Boer are two seaport cities, and they are also the two most developed commercial and commercial cities in the Fire Alliance.The coastline is 1,500 nautical miles long, which is equivalent to bypassing the Starfire Desert.The Fire Alliance had planned to build a railroad around the Spark Desert decades ago, but due to funding, technology, and the Alliance's trade agreements, the plan was stillborn.Originally, Cui Ming thought that the countries of the Fire Alliance were all about the same, but when he looked at the port of Geluo, there was obviously a big difference.Although the port of Glo still retains its religious customs, its values have changed dramatically, and it is difficult to say that it is degenerate, and everything is based on economic interests.Whether you are pious or not is not the standard for your mother-in-law to judge you, whether you have money or a house, whether your father's and mother's situation will drag down your family after marriage, etc.There are a lot of smuggling ships in Glo, and there are a large number of ships outside the port, some of which are smuggling ships from the eastern part of the Western Continent, the western part of the Central Continent, and the city of Noldor.This is because trade agreement embargoes bring huge profit margins to smuggling.Normally, there is no customs tax in the world, normal trade, there is no room for smugglers to survive, except for salt, this thing cannot be bought across villages, why salt is not known to God.This population is much larger than Cui Ming thought, and the fish market is next door to the port, and there is no end in sight when you go down in a row.Buyers are negotiating prices, and they are mostly smugglers, and in the 200-nautical-mile waters of the port of Glo, there is a delicious fish called goldfish, which is more expensive than gold.However, this fish does not stay anywhere else, but lives in the waters of Glo Harbor, and breeds very much.Due to the embargo under trade agreements, the salvage and smuggling of goldfish has become one of the hottest industries in Hong Kong.In addition, there are spices transported by the inland city-states, which are also the top of the luxury goods.Special mahogany, tequila in a certain city-state, etc., are all not available in the three continents.The government of the port of Glo does not care about smuggling, they levy taxes according to the ship, how much money each ship calls at the port.They are only responsible for maintaining law and order.Trade agreements are a dead letter here.The alliance could not manage this, and the alliance city-states were responsible for their own customs and smuggling.Because of the development of commerce and trade, there are very many wealthy people, and even if you are poor, if you can apply for a labor certificate to work in this port, the income is very high.Because the wealthy population wants to pursue the enjoyment of life, some low-level labor is hired out to do it.To illustrate, Cui Ming's view is that labor is not divided into high and low.It's just that it's very difficult to apply for a labor certification.Therefore, schools, homes, communities, golf courses, and so on are all indispensable.Because of the alliance's embargoed trade agreement, Glo has become one of the richest cities in the Fire Alliance, and one of the top ten most populous cities in the Fire Alliance.Cui Ming, the idiot, didn't know this, in his imagination, Glo should be a small town, and then there were some dilapidated docks, some shops along the street, many wooden boats on the sea, and at most one or two hostels, and the population would not exceed 50,000.But the fact is that Glo's population exceeds three million, so Cui Ming was stunned and blind.Three million people went to find the leopard girl Why didn't Cui Ming hear about it, this is negative energy in the alliance, because of the embargo of the trade agreement, people are developed, and the alliance takes a cold treatment, ignores it, and turns a blind eye.Even Aveline and Li Qing didn't know that when the three of them arrived in the city, they stood on the road in the middle of the city and looked at the tall buildings left and right, dumbfounded.Looking left and right, although the port of Glo is not as large as the city of Chuxiao with a population of millions and perfect public facilities, but Glo has already appeared in the prototype of a modern city, and in less than twenty years, it will not be worse than the current city of Chuxiao.aa2705221:
