Chapter 741 Discovering New Islands ([-])
The first task of monitoring flying insects every time they go to a strange place is to search the whole territory and draw a map. What Zhaolin is showing Qi Ke now is the process of searching first for newcomers, and then start fast-forwarding, switching to dual-screen display, one side is the bustling port On the pier, on one side is a panoramic view of the village. The thatched huts where the slaves were held were marked in red, and there were fourteen in total.

With comparison, it becomes clearer that the thatched huts where the slaves are held are different from the houses that the villagers live in daily. The sense of danger of collapse, this kind of dilapidated house used as a warehouse is disgusted, but it doesn't matter if you lock up slaves.

Qi Ke chewed the prawns with springy teeth, thoughtfully, "It seems that there are not as many houses in this village as there are in our Siliu Village. Calculated proportionally, there are too many houses for slaves. Could it be that this island is dedicated to In the slave trade?"

"A transfer station for slaves."

Zhaolin cut the picture into four screens, except for the port and the village, and increased the vistas outside the village, a large area of ​​undeveloped primitive tropical scenery.

The scenery is beautiful, full of vitality, lush greenery, and small animals running all over the ground, but in Qi Ke's eyes, this kind of picture only represents one word, poor.

The picture stretched out toward the horizon, eyes full of green, and soon Qi Ke felt a little tired of the scenery, the farther he was from the beach, the farther he was from civilization, Qi Ke originally wanted to find out if there was any cultivated land, and followed the cultivated land to find the village, but who knew what was the matter? There is no shadow of cultivated land, but there are villages, which are pitifully small, with a few or a dozen households. The houses are low and cramped, and the height of the thatched roof is only about the height of an adult man. It can be seen that people can hardly stand upright in the house.

Compared with these pictures, the port terminal and the slave village have become an acceptable state of civilization, and judging from the degree of construction of the port terminal, it is obvious that it was not spontaneously built by the local aborigines in scanty clothes.

"This island has been taken by outsiders." Qi Ke asked Zhaolin to turn the screen back to the port, and lowered his head to eat a big mouthful of pasta, "It's too wasteful to occupy such a rich island and only use it as a transit slave. It’s so good to use it for farming, a watermelon can grow into a winter melon.”

"When you see the land, you want to plant it?"

"There is a saying that whoever controls oil controls all countries, and whoever controls food controls the entire human race. The first half of the sentence is not necessarily universal, but the second half is definitely a universally recognized law of the universe. All intelligent life forms will agree with this." Qi Ke picked up a piece of pasta and shook, "Who would think that there is too much food, but only worry about not enough storage for it?"

Zhaolin pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and marked the island, and arranged for the crops to be planted after the soil test was done in the future.

"From point to point, the pirate's lair must not be far away, otherwise there will be problems with supplies. Seeing how poor they are, this transfer station is unable to provide fresh water to support a long-distance voyage."

"Then we don't have to follow that pirate ship any more?" Qi Ke had had enough of being followed for so long, "Maybe we can get rid of them and move freely."

"Their mission of leading the way is over. Let's follow this island to find out. This island is backward, poor and far away from civilization, but the people who built this place as a transfer station for slaves must be at a certain stage of civilization."

"Looking at the weapons used by the pirates, I have no doubt that they have carried out the industrial revolution."

"Strictly speaking, the people who produced those arms could have carried out the industrial revolution."
