Fellow Liu also came over. He wanted to discuss this with Xiao Peng and bring the pregnant Yuan Yuan back to the Animal Research Institute. After all, the care there was more meticulous.

However, Xiao Peng only said one sentence before he gave up on his own thoughts. "You all want its descendants to be born healthy, so you should leave them here."

Fellow Liu was completely convinced by Xiao Peng's words. Now, he almost treated Xiao Peng as a god, the sterile White-finned Pigfish actually became pregnant not long after reaching the Thousand Mile Rock. When he thought about the living condition of the Thousand Mile Rock Island's animal as one with the human race, he felt that it was even possible to call Xiao Peng the God of Animals.

This point was quite laughable. The more scientific research was conducted, the easier it was for them to believe in the gods.

The reason was very simple. When conducting scientific research, there would be many things that could not be explained with science. In the end, many people could only choose to believe in God. Like Newton, the great scientist whose head was smashed by an apple, became a generation of theologians after devoting all his attention to theology.

Xiao Peng took a big barrel and fed the milk to the pets on the island. After getting a cow, there really was no lack of milk on Thousand Mile Rock. Not only people drank it, but these big guys also liked to drink it. However, it was obvious that Xiao Peng wasn't in a good mood and was slightly distracted.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Yang Meng walked over with a bucket of milk and asked as he looked at Xiao Peng in a daze.

Xiao Peng sighed, "Why do you think people are so lowly? When he was outside, he thought it was better to stay at home, but when he stayed at home, he wanted to run outside. Furthermore, every time I come back, there will always be endless worries. It would be better for me to just go outside and have some fun. "

When Yang Meng heard this, his spirits were piqued as well. "Why don't we go and fish? How about it? "I couldn't stand it on the island. I wanted to go out and play."

Xiao Peng shook his head. "It's easy to encounter typhoons when fishing at this season of the year."

"Then what do you want to do? Go on a trip? Didn't they say that there's going to be a trip to the next world? " Yang Meng was pouring milk from the Bali Tiger Baby's bowl. The four little tigers were growing at a rapid pace and were now already half a meter long.

"You want to leave just because you said so?" Xiao Peng fell into deep thought when he heard Yang Meng's words.

"Hey, what happened to you again? What do you mean by "thinker" statue? " Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng didn't answer him and just ran back into the room, dragging a box with him.

Looking at Yang Meng who was standing there in a daze, "What are you still standing there for? Pack your clothes! Go to the warehouse and load up some food onto the Guo Chuan. Let's go. A sailboat trip! "

"Huh?" Yang Meng stared at Xiao Peng with his mouth agape, "What kind of trick are you trying to pull this time?"

"Traveling as you please, are you going?" Xiao Peng said.

"The one who isn't going is my grandson!" After saying that, Yang Meng went back to pack up his clothes.

Xiao Peng told Yang Meng to fill up the refrigerator on the boat while he told Pan Peiyu to keep an eye on the house. After greeting their families, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng set sail and left the Thousand Mile Rock.

"Hey, Xiao Peng, you actually want to tell me where we're going, right?" Yang Meng's voice came from the sky.

Yes, it was not exaggerated to say that it was in the sky. Yang Meng was currently doing inspection and maintenance work on the top of the mast. You can't swim with a sailboat, because there's a life jacket. The mast and sails were the life of a sailboat, and the mast had to be checked every now and then during the voyage. However, the mast of the Guo Chuan was sixty feet high, which meant that it was six stories high. Yang Meng was fixing the universal joints.

Xiao Peng, on the other hand, was adjusting the sail in front of him. After hearing Yang Meng's reply, he grinned and said, "How about we take a trip to the Silk Road on the sea?"

The 'Silk Road on the Sea' in China had a long history. From its formation during the Qin and Han Dynasties to its full strength during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it gradually declined and then became glorious again.

In the "Book of Han, Geography", there was a traffic route on the sea, carrying the 'sunken' silk, which is to say, exported overseas. The East China Sea and the South China Sea had two different routes, and it should not be forgotten that the southern part of China was the birthplace of the South Island, which was known as the Bai Yue during the pre-Qin era. They were one of the most widely distributed peoples in the world, possessing outstanding sailing experience and adventurous spirit. Now New Zealand, Hawaii, Madagascar all have their descendants. The establishment of trade ports in the former Qin Dynasty in the present Guangzhou and Xu Wen also laid the foundation for the formation of the Silk Road in the future.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the land and sea between South Vietnam and the Indian Peninsula had been opened up. After the extermination of South Yue, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty broadened the scale of the maritime trade, and the 'maritime silk road' rose up. According to the historical records, the routes at that time started from Xuwen and Ho, and went through the South China Sea into the Malay Peninsula, Siamese Gulf, and Bengal Bay and arrived in Sri Lanka.

Later in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the sea road developed further. In the Three Kingdoms Period, Sun Wu fought against Cao, Wei, Liu and Shu to actively develop the navy. At that time, Sun Wu's shipbuilding industry was already leading the world: the hull was big, the structure of the keel was high, and Sun Wu's silk manufacturing industry far exceeded the level and scale of both Han and Han dynasties. Therefore, after arriving at Wei and Jin dynasties, they opened up a coastal route, and Guangzhou became the starting point of the Silk Road on the Sea. Through the South China Sea, they went straight through the Western Sand Islands to the countries of the South China Sea, through the Straits of Malacca, and straight into the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf.

We often read online novels in which the protagonist crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, developed a navy to snatch grain from Liubao and Taishan, and went to the South China Sea to look for spice islands. There were big loopholes in this, because before the Tang Dynasty, our hard-working and intelligent ancestors had already gone to the Red Sea to play. What about the South Asian islands mentioned in the web novels? They were discovered long ago!

However, there was one thing that was true, and that was the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the period when the Silk Road flourished on the sea. At that time, Guangzhou had already become China's largest port, the world-famous Oriental port city. Passing through the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean to the countries of the Persian Gulf, it was the longest ocean-going route in the world.

Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the silk road on the sea was only a supplementary form of the silk road on the land. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the silk road on the sea had replaced the silk road on the land as the main channel for China's external interaction due to the constant war in the Western Regions. At that time, this route was called 'Guangzhou Tonghai Road', which was the earliest name of the silk road in China. At that time, the exports were mainly silk, porcelain and tea, while the imports were mainly spices and herbs and some rare treasures for the court to enjoy. This situation continued into the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

It was not until the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries that the Europeans began to expand at sea, opening the age of great navigation. At that time commercial activities at sea were often accompanied by war and armed robbery. Just like the famous Zheng He's fleet, more than 60 large ships that were 70 meters wide and 20 meters wide were invincible on the sea. At that time, the king of Sri Lanka had asked Zheng He for the fare, and Zheng He had caught him and sent him back to the capital as a mascot.

At that time, China also had a flight from Guangzhou to Latin America, from Guangzhou, via Macau to the Philippines, across the Strait of San Bernardino into the Pacific Ocean, and eastward into the coast of Mexico. At this point, the Silk Road at sea reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty through the development of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties.

But since then, because of the government's policy of sea ban, Guangzhou became the only open trade outline of the silk road in China during the period, and the Guangzhou trade developed more greatly, forming an unprecedented global circulation trade, which continued and continued all the way until the eve of the Crow War. Eventually, the war broke out and China lost its maritime rights, becoming a semi-colony of the western powers. The coastal ports were forced to open up, becoming a market for Western dumping goods and robbing China of its resources. From then on, the silk road on the sea could not recover, and it entered a period of decline.

However, ever since the establishment of the new China, the advancement of technology and the development of China's ocean-going shipping industry, China's ocean-going trading ships have spread all over the world! Xiao Peng's thought was to walk along the silk road in the sea.

Yang Meng climbed down from the mast. "Take the Silk Road on the Sea?" You're going to have to go through a lot of countries? Didn't you want to go to the Stellar Union? Can we make it in time? "

Xiao Peng chuckled, "I have already thought about it, walk around the Cape of Good Hope, go around Africa, cross the Atlantic Ocean and arrive at the Stellar Union. As long as we don't waste time in the countries along the way. We have more than enough time on the road. "How is the mast?"

Yang Meng leaned on the side of the boat and used the seawater to wash his hands, "No problem, it's all a minor ailment. How long has it been since you came back?" No maintenance. So a little slow. Now that we have settled it, we can do whatever we want! "

"Okay then. Take the main sail and move forward at full speed!" Hehe, why am I so excited? " Xiao Peng said with a smile.

Yang Meng said in a speechless manner, "Hey, what's there to be excited about? Last time when we came back from Ukraine, didn't we already go through it once?"

Xiao Peng revealed a mysterious expression, "It's different this time. The treasures at the bottom of the sea are all waving at us!"

"Treasure trove?" After Yang Meng heard this, his eyes lit up. "I like that!" So this is your brat's real goal! "

That's right, Xiao Peng's other goal this time was the sunken ships on the Silk Road in the sea. It was filled with wealth.

Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well find the sunken ship!
