Wang Guichen took twenty warships and sailed eastward from Borneo around the Java Sea, and he could see islands of all sizes almost every day along the way.

Some of the islands are full of seabirds, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the guano on the islands is a foot or two thick and difficult to set foot on.

Some islands are full of snakes, turquoise, in the grass, on the branches, in the thousands, and the scalp of people is tingling.

Some of the islands are sunny and sandy, with clear sea and sky, and all kinds of birds and beasts that have never seen before enjoy their paradise leisurely.

The caves on the edge of some islands are washed by the tide, and they will let out a roar like a devil and monster, and the sound will spread for ten miles. On some large islands, you can often see some indigenous people wearing animal skins or straw weaving, living a primitive fishing and hunting life.

Wang Guichen didn't care about this, every time he went to a big island, he sent people to land on the island and carved the words "Daqin XX Island" on the conspicuous cliff.

There are too many islands, and Wang Guichen, who is in charge of naming them, thinks that his head hurts, so he simply named the island after 1,500 soldiers of the Eastern Crusade, what Daqin Moliang Island, Daqin Tiedan Island, this drum was made, but it made his soldiers excited.

Naming an island after oneself is something that everyone will be excited about, and the voyage that was originally a bit boring has become lively.

On this day, Wang Guichen and Wu Yue were drinking tea on the deck, Mo Liang suddenly remembered a question, came up and said, "Head, there are so many islands, what if we don't have enough names for 1,500 people?" ”

Originally, the old god was in charge, and it was chaotic in an instant.

yes, what if you don't have enough names?

Seeing that Wang Da was speechless, Mo Liang immediately took the opportunity to propose a good proposal: "Head, I have thought about it for you, if our names are really not enough, wait until everyone's names are used up." Just one more round, for example, the newly discovered island is called Molianger Island, Tiedanko Island, which is different from the original island, if one more round is not enough, it will be called Moralsun Island, Tiedansun Island. ”

The king was furious: "Mo Liang, wait until you give birth to a son!" ”

"It's not a head, I'm not afraid you'll have another headache when you get there, it's a good idea. You deserve it."

Wang Guichen was about to clean up Mo Liang, when suddenly the soldier in charge of the lookout on the mast shouted, and the soldiers on the deck also ran to the side of the ship:

"Look what that is, Sea Dragon King?"

"There's also here, it's big, it's a whale, it's a whale."

"Oh my God, so many"

Wang Guichen ran to the side of the ship to take a look, but saw the sea to the south. Bursting up columns of water one by one, huge whales swarmed in groups, the total number of which was afraid of dozens, and the huge bodies turned upside down. The huge tail is laid, the waves are tumbling, and the rapids are agitated.

"Turn the rudder and leave, quick. They're coming, don't bump into them, hurry," Wang Guichen yelled urgently. If it's a whale, it's not so scary, but with such a huge group of whales, once it hits, no one knows what will happen.

The lookouts on the mast were almost stunned, in the South China Sea, they had also seen whales, but there was no comparison with such a huge school of whales, the whole sea was so big that the waves were swelling by whales, I really can't imagine what it would be like if they were bumped into by these big guys.

Just the jets of water that spew up, the sun shines down, spraying like mist, colorful, it is very spectacular.

Under Wang Guichen's order, twenty warships hurriedly turned their rudders, and this huge group of whales seemed to be migrating along a predetermined route and did not chase them.

Mo Liang, who had avoided the danger, couldn't help but have evil intentions: "Head, why don't we shoot a few whales and shoot a few whales." ”

", there's nothing to do. Haven't heard of it? These big guys are not easy to mess with, and once we anger them, we are afraid that we will not be able to run a boat. ”

"Head, that's a bit exaggerated."

At this moment, another exclamation suddenly came from the lever, "Ah! Shocked, Mo Liang swallowed the rest of the words, thinking that the whales were chasing after him.

"Look, look, it's land, you can't see the land, look, we're in Nanhuazhou, it must be"

The so-called must be, it is too arbitrary, in fact, this time Wang Guichen and they found the island of New Guinea in the future.

This is after Wang Guichen and others, who were extremely excited, went to the island, they learned from the mouths of the natives at that time that there was a larger land in the south, and they knew that they had found that it was not Nanhuazhou marked on the chart.

But the island of New Guinea is also big enough, enough to be the size of Borneo, Wang Guichen thought a lot, and directly named it Xiaohuazhou, the aborigines of the island are very interested, with a canoe dug out of logs can float across the sea;

It's hard to imagine how they did it, but they did, and it was with this canoe that they traveled to and from the islands and discovered the huge continent to the south.

Wang Guichen and the others did not immediately kill, but took out exquisite silk, not a lot, just a few exquisite silks, and the local natives were almost crazy.

After getting a few pieces of exquisite silk, the indigenous chiefs on Xiaohuazhou didn't pay attention to how big the words "Daqin Xiaohuazhou" were chiseled by Wuguichen, and they couldn't understand it anyway. He also sent someone to guide Wang Guichen and them, and led them south to find the huge land in their mouths.

After only two days of sailing, Wang Guichen and they saw the land, the boundless land.

In 1606, the ships of the Spanish navigator Luis Vaez de Torres sailed through the strait located between Australia and the island of New Guinea (Irian Island);

In the same year, the Dutchman William. Janes's Duyfken set foot in Australia and was the first recorded actual landing of outsiders in Australia, naming it "New Holland".

It's just that neither the Spaniards nor the Dutch have officially colonized here, and now the Qin army is here, and they are specially looking for it, and officially named this continent Nanhuazhou and included it in the territory of Great Qin.

Wang Guichen and the others traveled south along the riverbank, where there were mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands, big rats with bags on their bodies, huge crocodiles, giant birds and emus that could no longer fly, and strange platypus.

There are also people, all of whom are small in stature, and they still live like savages, and they can almost be directly included in the ranks of beasts, anyway, Wang Guichen has automatically ignored the fact that they are the aborigines of Nanhuazhou.

From the north all the way to the south, it can be seen that the western part of Nanhuazhou is a plateau. In the centre is plains or deserts, while along the coast there are wide sandy beaches and lush greenery, and the terrain is varied: further south there are the cliffs of the Blue Mountains and the beautiful, eroded volcanic necks.

On the south coast, it is a flat field, with fertile land, rivers and herds of bison and sheep, which are so numerous that they are like white clouds.

Wang Guichen and his men traveled south, while the staff officers recorded the local topography, products, climate, maps, and navigational charts, and finally they landed by a large river in the south.

Here, the number of local natives increased, and the local natives were full of fear of this group of "visitors from heaven", who only had rudimentary bows and arrows and wooden spears, and arrowheads and spearheads were still made of stone or animal bones.

After Wang Guichen and they arrived, all the natives hid in the woods and did not dare to come out.

The soldiers of the Qin army who came ashore cried wolf recklessly, and their expressions were so excited that the indigenous wolves in the woods rushed to the ground.

Mo Liang polished his military boots, carried the gun, stepped off the gangway, and was about to set foot on the land of Nanhuazhou, he couldn't help but be full of pride, and looked up to the sky and roared:

"I'm coming, I've seen, I've occupied!"

"Occupy a fart!"

Wang Guichen kicked him down, and Mo Liang, who was full of pride, originally wanted to set foot on the land of Nanhuazhou with an incomparably heroic attitude, but finally stepped on the land of Nanhuazhou in the style of a dog eating, and while he occupied Nanhuazhou, the mud and sand of Nanhuazhou also occupied his mouth in an instant.
