Chapter 682 Mysterious Island
However, he still has some uncertainties: Will the opening of new routes encounter obstruction from other countries?

In addition, is our navy strong enough to resist threats from the sea, he asked, Lin Che, you can rest assured, we can send fleets to shrink overseas to ensure the safety and stability of the new routes, we can also strengthen the construction of Haijunda, so that our army has enough power at sea to protect the country and trade, his voice Hangzhou revealed full of confidence and determination, Zhu Di pondered for a moment, he began to see the benefits of opening up new routes for the Ming Dynasty, he said excitedly, Mr. Lin, you are right, opening up new routes can not only bring economic prosperity, but also enhance the international influence of our dynasty.

It can promote cultural exchanges and the spread of knowledge, which is beneficial to the development of our dynasty and the strength of the country. Mr. Lin, do you know how to open up new routes? Lin Che smiled slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said after thinking for a moment, Your Majesty, opening up new routes requires not only oceanographic knowledge, but also courage and decision-making ability. We can invite some experienced navigators to conduct surveys and explorations. They can help us find new ocean routes, open up trade channels in our hearts, and bring huge benefits and development opportunities. Zhu Di nodded and expressed his admiration. He decided to take action immediately in the hope that the opening of new routes would bring glory to the Ming Empire. Therefore, Zhu Di secretly organized a fleet to survey overseas in the palace, and he personally selected the best officers and navigators.

At the same time, some experienced captains were specially invited to ensure the smooth progress of the mission. The fleet sailed along the East China Sea. After several months of slavery, they came to a place called the Sea of ​​the Future. The current here is turbulent and there are many islands. The future will be set foot on by humans. It is an unknown world. The navigators of the fleet are very excited and can't wait to start the exploration work.
They were divided into small teams and successively landed on different islands and conducted detailed investigations. However, the exploration journey was not smooth, they encountered bad weather, the ship was damaged, and there were even several times when they were almost attacked by pirates. However, despite the difficulties, the morale of the fleet remained high.

They knew very well that only by overcoming all difficulties could they open up a new waterway and bring good news to Zhu Di. When everyone had given up hope, a sailor named Liu Xiaodao set sail on an island with a group of indigenous residents. These residents were friendly and generous. The navigators of the fleet learned that this was a place that had been isolated from the outside world since ancient times, so they tried to avoid anyone knowing of its existence. The leaders of the fleet decided to stay here temporarily, establish friendly relations with the indigenous residents, and obtain more intelligence from them. At the same time, they also personally surveyed the waters around the island, hoping to find clues to the opening of a new waterway.

After communicating and investigating with the natives, the navigators of the fleet learned that there was a mysterious island in this future land. It was said that there were extremely precious resources and treasures on the island. However, the legendary explorers all disappeared mysteriously and did not get to see the true face of the island. After Zhu Di got the news, he was full of hope for opening up a new route. He immediately dispatched an elite expedition team to continue exploring this mysterious sea area. After several days of sailing, the team finally arrived at the legendary island, which was surrounded by dense jungle. From the sea, the business district looked like a fairyland. The team members were so excited that they couldn't help but stand on the side of the ship to admire the charming gold.

However, their dreams were soon shattered by reality. After falling behind and about to fall on the island, they were greeted by a group of ferocious beasts. The team was determined to fight and did not dare to slack off. After a fierce battle, the team finally repelled the beasts, but also paid a heavy price. Only a few people were left. They conducted a careful search everywhere on the island, hoping to find some valuable clues. Just when they were desperate, the team members discovered a seemingly deserted temple, the temple kept ancient nautical charts and navigation secrets, recording the experiences and experiences of countless explorers in the past. The officers and navigators of the team discovered that these ancient nautical charts depicted a new route to the west.

After careful comparison, they believed that this route was compatible. Finally, their slaves received the report. The team marked important ocean landmarks for navigation and brought back Shen Miao's precious collection of books and civil and military affairs, bringing back a surprise and hope for Zhu Di. After Zhu Di learned about the team's hard work and achievements, his heart was filled with gratitude and respect. He personally met with the team members and announced that he would award them with a ceremony to reward their meritorious soldiers. More importantly, Zhu Di regarded the opening of this new route as a major national strategy and decided to invest a lot of resources and strength to support and promote it. In the next few years, the Ming Empire was committed to the cause of opening up new routes and made great progress.

The routes were constantly developed and improved, and trade activities flourished, bringing them huge profits and prosperity. Zhu Di regarded this focus as one of the important milestones in his career, and personally led the country's forces to build a powerful navy. He hoped to further consolidate the international status and influence of the Ming Empire through the enhancement of the power of the ocean. In this way, Zhu Di's Ming Empire became one of the most powerful maritime empires in the East, and all this originated from the simple question he wanted to ask how to open up new waterways. The land was so excited that he decided to act immediately. He set up a special team in Xilin, responsible for the fleet's exploration of new waterways and protection of national interests.

This team consisted of navigators, geographers and officers. They were given enough resources and power by Jiangbei to complete this arduous task. They were quickly organized under the personal inspiration of Zhu Di. Under the guidance of the navigators, they began to survey the ocean, make sailing plans for new routes and negotiate overseas trade. Lin Che, based on his basic knowledge of modern geography, made many suggestions and opinions in the imperial prison.

He brought modern navigation technology, such as the heart and compass, to help fleets navigate accurately, and he also introduced less modern ship design and construction methods to improve the sailing ability and safety of ships.

Zhu Di said that in order to ensure the smooth flow of shipping routes and the smooth transportation of minerals, he dispatched an experienced sailing team.
