The body hair is dark yellow or brown, and the body is large and muscular.
It's definitely a kangaroo.
After taking a look at Zhou Chun, Zhang Qi touched the head of Zhang Qian, who was looking around a bit with curiosity in his eyes.
"It's hard to catch this thing."
Zhou Chun was secretly shocked. When he went with the navy to the Australian plains to capture these animals, these large and strong animals were really difficult to catch.
If they were just hunting for meat, it would not be difficult to hunt these animals, but it took them a lot of effort to capture them alive.
It's just that Zhou Chun didn't expect that his superior already knew about the arrest process before he told him about it, and he seemed to know the secrets better than those of them in Australia.
He is worthy of being a son of heaven.
Zhou Chun was even more fascinated by Zhang Qi's mysteries, and his thoughts of admiration couldn't stop pouring out.
Bow down.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"The other animals in the cabin didn't take too much effort, but this sturdy thing called a kangaroo was a little harder to catch, and it took a little time."
"Yeah." Zhang Qi nodded.
Zhang Qian beside him looked at the other creatures and asked with great curiosity.
"Dad, what about this?"
Zhang Qian asked, pointing to a large bird.
Zhang Qi looked in the direction of his finger, touched his head and said, "Emu."
"What is Ermiao, dad?"
"Just think of it as a flightless bird."
"Australia is different from other places. That land has been isolated from the world for millions of years, so many animals there are more primitive than animals in other places."
"The one over there is called thylacine, koala, and platypus."
Zhang Qiyi introduced the animals in the cabin to his son.
On the side, Bai Xing quickly recorded with a pen and paper.
"It's a pity that we didn't see those larger giants. It seems that we are not the first people to land in Australia. There must be Aboriginal people on them."
"Zhou Chun,"
"I'm here."
Zhou Chun was listening to Zhang Qi's introduction and popular science with great interest when he suddenly heard Jun Shang calling him and almost didn't react.
"I won't leave much time for you to rest. There is only one month left until March. Prepare in advance. In early March, organize the fleet to return to Australia. In addition, establish two channels. The island chain and the ocean must have detailed sea plans. picture."
"promise!"
Seeing these animals brought back from Australia today, Zhang Qi remembered that the extinction of Australian ancient creatures began with the landing of humans on the island.
Although the drop in sea levels caused by the earth's ice age did not allow bridges to connect Australia to other states and islands, with the emergence of humans, ancient humans who migrated by boat may have settled in Australia early.
This news must be brought back as soon as possible to avoid any bad surprises to the Australian forces.
After visiting the animals that were brought back, Zhang Qi took his son's hand and turned towards the deck.
It's a confined space, and it's full of animals, so the smell isn't much better even if you think about it.
Only Zhang Qian, a little kid, whose curiosity about novel things offset the discomfort caused by these smells, otherwise Zhang Qi would have gone up there long ago.
"White Star."
"Your Majesty."
Zhang Qi called out softly.
Bai Xing took a few steps closer.
"After returning to Liaoning, ask people from the Department of Animal Husbandry to come over to receive them, and prepare the breeding area in advance to see if there is any possibility of being suitable for meat animals. If not, just treat them as ornamental animals, and build a new zoo to provide a place for entertainment for the people of Liaoning. place."
"clear."
Shirahoshi nodded and took note.
After meeting the returning crew members, Zhang Qi's trip to Liaodong Port was finally over.
However, considering his son's age, he scheduled his return trip for tomorrow.
With so many novel creatures, he could tell that Zhang Qian was not fully enjoying it, so he simply let him have a good day.
——
Qingzhou.
Yingchuan County.
Cheng'an County.
"Xiaohua, do we really want to give him the furnace-smelting technology?"
In the county government office, six people sat together at the table.
Guan Hai, who had a beard, drank a glass of warm wine and asked unhappily.
And at the top.
Liao Hua, the youngest among them, had a calm expression on his face.
"Of course I really give it, but they want this furnace-refining technology, and it's impossible without some blood."
"Lao Guan, why are you thinking so much? The orders given by Qu Shuai are as long as Xiaohua uses his brain. You just have to work hard with me."
Peiyuan Shao on the side patted Guan Hai on the shoulder.
"Damn it, I'm just unhappy. Those officials never cared about our lives before. We beat them down, but we still have to give them something."
Guan Hai looked unhappy.
Liao Hua smiled.
"Brother Hai, don't worry. None of the things we give them are important. At present, our attitude should be focused on the ambitious people who want to climb to a higher level."
"But you don't have to hold it in. When those people arrive tomorrow, you can let out your anger when you need to. If you don't let them vomit some blood, we won't let them rest assured."
"Sure, it will happen with your words, just watch."
Chang'an.
Weiyang Palace.
He was obviously at his most prosperous and powerful age, but there were already gray hairs on Liu Che's head.
He sat upright on the cushion, and behind him, Sang Yang was carefully dyeing every strand of his white hair black.
"Sang Qing."
"His Majesty."
Liu Che, who was squinting, opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes were full of exhaustion.
"How did that happen?"
While he was holding up his white hair with a hosta, Liu Che's question made Sang Yang stop.
"Reporting in detail, there are several repeaters in Yingchuan Cheng'an and Runan Anyang counties."
"oh."
Liu Che's eyebrows raised, and the arm on his knee suddenly tightened his grip, and then relaxed quickly.
"Is there good news then?"
"Haha, Your Majesty is aware of this."
Sang Yang let out a chuckle.
"The man from Cheng'an County was originally the son of a craftsman. His father was drafted to smelt iron under the Marquis of Liao, and he himself joined the army. I heard from him that his father secretly handed over the furnace-smelting technology to him last time he went home for a visit. He said that if he had one hundred thousand gold and a waiting position, he would be willing to hand over this technology."
"Is it true?"
Liu Che raised his eyebrows.
Sang Yang shook his head.
"I don't know. Your Majesty has no power."
"Yeah." Liu Che sighed.
"Yes, the power is not mine."
"Where's Anyang?"
"The only sword-making skill there is, and its importance cannot be compared with the furnace-smelting skill."
"Sang Qing."
"Do you think I should bet?"
"Sang Yang doesn't dare to speak nonsense, but His Majesty already has a plan, doesn't he?"
"in addition."
Sang Yang pursed his lips.
Liu Che calmed down in his glance back.
"Your Majesty, Xizuo has also received news from Liao Di.
In October next year, the Marquis of Liao will make his capital!"
"Bold! Arrogant!"
Crackling.
Suddenly, Liu Che became furious, and the low table in front of him was overturned to the ground.
