Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong's desire to communicate with the Chukchi people is very strong, but they don't plan to talk to him.

After all, except for Xiao Zirong, other people look at these people like ghosts, and they naturally look at them like magical creatures.

If there was more time, Xiao Zirong would choose to stay and get in touch with them more, but they are in a hurry now, if possible, he hopes to go back before winter, and it is not good to delay too long.

The products in places too far north are not so rich. The fruits and vegetables they carry have a limited storage time, and it is best to replenish them in time. Although they brought various canned fruits, canned meat and dehydrated vegetables, there must be nutrients in the production process drain.

If they don't find suitable fruits and vegetables in a strange land, then they have to go back as soon as possible.

In the end, after Xiao Zirong found that there was no trace of these Chukchi people at all, and he couldn't even touch them when he saw them, he left a piece of paper and took them away.

After leaving the territory of the Chukchi people, they left Asia and entered the Bering Sea. Oh, of course, this sea has not been named yet. After all, the Danish navigator Bering would not lead the fleet to come here until 1741.

The closest connection between Asia and North America is probably where the Chukchi people and the Thule people are located.

The Thule people are actually the ancestors of the Inuit people, and the Inuit people also have a more widely known name, the Eskimos.

Of course, the Inuit don't like that name, because the translation of Eskimo is a person who eats raw meat. It should be a derogatory term given to them by their enemies, and the meaning of Inuit is the master of the land.

The fleet did not stop at the residence of the Thule people for a short time, but the Thule people were more curious and friendly to them than the Chukchi people.

It may be because everyone is of the yellow race. After all, the Thule people also migrated from Asia.

The first Thule people discovered by Xiao Zirong and the others was at sea. At that time, the Thule people were driving a flat boat, holding the simplest stone tools in their hands and fishing at sea. Everyone who saw them was very surprised.

Because the opponent's equipment is too simple, so simple that if they use such equipment, most Qi people will not choose to go fishing in the far sea.

Corresponding to the crude tools is the strong physical ability of the Thule people.

Holding binoculars, Xiao Zirong watched helplessly as the man dragged up a fish that was almost half the length of the boat from the sea. Looking at the shape of the fish, combined with the geographical location, Xiao Zirong felt that it might be a legend. The dog salmon in it is also known as the king salmon in later generations.

Dog salmon was originally a carnivorous fish with a very violent nature. The Thule man tried to knock the fish unconscious and brought it into the boat, but failed several times, and even the boat almost capsized a few times.

Xiao Xuexing stood aside and frowned and said, "He can't catch it, so he shouldn't be too persistent."

If the boat capsized, the man would probably be gone too.

Xiao Zirong looked at it with a binoculars and said, "If you don't bring this fish back, maybe their family will starve to death."

If it is not forced to help, who is willing to risk their lives to go fishing at sea?

The Thule man was very tenacious, but fighting with fish for a long time and keeping the boat from capsizing at the same time made his physical strength drain quickly.

Xiao Zirong couldn't stand it anymore, so someone threw a piece of meat to him.

The Thule man looked at the meat on the boat, then at the person gesturing with him, hesitated for a moment before wrapping the rope around his waist, let the fish continue to flop, quickly picked up the meat and ate it.

After eating the meat, he took a while to pull up the rope again. At this time, the fish had already struggled and had no strength.

After the man collected the fish, he looked at the huge fleet in the distance with some hesitation.

He had never seen such a large ship before, and there was a mixture of excitement and fear on his face.

Xiao Zirong sent someone to send a piece of paper, which was still written in Cyrillic. The library plug-in told him that the language family of the Inuit is also Cyrillic, and that the Thule people, as their ancestors, should be... almost ?

It's a pity that this person doesn't seem to understand the words on the paper, but no one in Qi State can understand, and both sides are at a loss.

However, the similar skin color and the help to him just now made the Thule people not so defensive, and finally took people to their tribe.

Xiao Zirong didn't follow, although he really wanted to go and have a look, but Xiao Xuexing insisted on pushing him on the boat, they didn't bring enough people, they didn't know what they would encounter later, and firearms had to be used sparingly, so Xiao Xuexing It is firmly opposed to his disembarkation.

Xiao Zirong felt a little regretful, but they came at the turn of spring and summer, so even if they went ashore, they probably wouldn't be able to see the snow house.

However, the people they sent out were indeed capable, even though they couldn't understand the language, they communicated abruptly.

The Thule people are relatively poor overall, well, at least in the eyes of the people of Qi, they are very poor, which means that they basically have nothing to exchange for the fleet.

But in the end, Xiao Zirong and the others exchanged their fur with the Thule people for some dried fish and fresh fish.

Because of the cold climate here, there are not many animals, and fur is not easy to get. On the contrary, Qi State organizes people to hunt tigers and wolves in the mountains every year.

There is no way, it's not that Xiao Zirong doesn't want to protect the environment, but that the environment is so good these days, tigers and wolves are posing a great threat to human survival.

There are often news of tigers and wolves entering the village. If you don't hunt and kill them, maybe a pack of wolves will come to the village at some point, and no one in the village will be able to live.

Fur is very popular with the Thule people, and they even want more in exchange. Many of them freeze to death every year because they don't keep warm in winter.

After all, their living environment is harsh. Even in winter, they have to go out to find food from time to time. Without enough fur to keep them warm, they can easily die.

It's just that there are too few things they can show, and there are not many things that interest Xiao Zirong.

In the end, he found two dogs by accident. The two dogs were black, with white patterns on their faces and thick coats. They were infinitely close to Alaska in later generations in terms of size and appearance.

Xiao Zirong was so excited that he exchanged a piece of wolf skin for two Alaskan puppies.

However, he calmed down after sailing. What's the use of having two dogs, and the dogs are prone to get sick if they leave their original living environment. Even they spend most of their time on the boat. Can the dogs adapt to the boat? My life is still two different things.

Xiao Zirong didn't feel sorry for the wolf skin, anyway, that thing was not precious to him, and the further he went, the more useless it became, so he could only change something in colder regions, and waited until he arrived in the south. In America, the temperature there doesn't really need this stuff anymore.

He was just worried that the dog would not be able to survive, after all, there were two little lives.

But what surprised him was that the two dogs were actually very strong. They did have symptoms of discomfort at the beginning, but within two days they were eating, drinking and being very lively again.

When they arrived in South America, the half-grown dogs could still catch fish!

And when they passed by the Hohokam culture, Komond culture, Bahia culture, Dickis culture, Jamakork culture, Moche civilization and Mayan civilization, they finally came to the first place on this barren continent. A kingdom, located in the Warri Kingdom in the central plateau of Peru in later generations.
