"Look, what is that?"

Xia Shan, who was walking in front, discovered a strange animal and stopped immediately.

Following his guidance, everyone looked over.

This is a pond, filled with weeds, dead branches and fallen leaves. A creature with two big eyes is quietly lurking in it.

Sharp fangs were revealed in the long mouth.

The crowd had never seen such an ugly thing before, and subconsciously felt it was very dangerous, so they all took a few steps back.

Jiang Sining and Si Chenan came up and were happy when they saw Jiang Sining.

"Today's lunch is finally settled."

"Lunch?" Si Chenan asked in confusion, "What kind of animal is this? Can it be eaten?"

"It's a type of crocodile, called a caiman. Not only is it edible, it's also delicious."

Although Jiang Sining has never eaten crocodile meat, he has watched some wilderness survival programs. In Bell's words, the meat is crispy and tastes like chicken.

Of course, you have to try it yourself to know how it tastes.

In order to teach everyone how to catch crocodiles, she no longer used internal strength, but asked someone to bring a rope, made a noose, tied it to a long branch, and slowly extended the noose over.

The crocodile's static vision is very poor, so as long as the movement is slow enough, it can hardly notice that danger is approaching, and the noose can be easily put on its mouth.

Jiang Sining pulled hard and the noose automatically tied the crocodile's mouth. The crocodile, realizing something was wrong, finally moved, but the more it struggled, the tighter the noose became.

"Xia Shan, go over from behind and hold her down, and be careful to grab her mouth."

"Yes!"

Finally it was Xia Shan's turn to take action. He pounced forward and grasped the crocodile's big mouth with his two powerful hands.

Under the combined effect of him and the noose, the crocodile's mouth would definitely not be able to open, and it would lose its most powerful weapon and could only be slaughtered.

Seeing that it could be caught so easily, the others were not afraid anymore. Instead, they gathered around to see what this fish called crocodile was.

"Although it's called a crocodile, it's not a fish. It's actually a reptile," Jiang Sining took the opportunity to explain. "But don't underestimate it. The bite force of its big mouth is terrifying. Once it bites its prey, it won't let go and will roll on the ground to tear the prey into pieces."

Several students who were determined to study the world's biology quickly took out paper and pens and wrote it down.

Jiang Sining looked around and found that there were quite a few crocodiles in this area, so he handed the rope to Xia Shan and asked him to lead people to catch a few more, and then returned to the beach along the same route.

She didn't plan to explore too deeply into the South American rainforest, because there were too many dangers there and ordinary people simply couldn't handle them. It would be enough to just let everyone have a brief look.

Taking out dry firewood from the space, everyone built a fire in the open space and started grilling meat.

It must be said that crocodile meat is really delicious. It is snow-white and chewy. The texture is very similar to chicken, but the aroma is completely different.

After trying the local specialties, Jiang Sining asked everyone to get on the boat and then sailed north along the coastline.

Every one or two days, she would let everyone go ashore to exercise, explore the forest, and look for some things she wanted, such as specialty plants that are only found in South America, such as cocoa, passion fruit, papaya, etc.

As for peppers, tomatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, Daxia already has them. Jiang Sining doesn't know how these things got to Daxia, but this is the world in the book, and that's how the author of the original work arranged it.

In this way, everyone walked and stopped along the way, and after two months, they finally arrived near the equator.

The climate here is so hot, as if there are several big stoves burning around you at all times. Clothes are never dry from morning to night, and many people get sick because of it.

Fortunately, Jiang Sining is a doctor, which gives the students studying medicine with her the opportunity to practice.

A few hundred kilometers north of the equator is the border of North America, and Jiang Sining finally saw traces of human activities.

This is a group of ancient Indians who live a very primitive life in the dense jungle and are naturally hostile to these outsiders who suddenly appear.

When he first met the local natives, Xia Shan wanted to go up and greet them, but what greeted him was a round of arrows and spears.

If he didn't have some skills, he would have died here.

"My queen, these people don't look very friendly," Xia Shan said, "Do you want me to lead the troops in and teach them a little lesson?"

Jiang Sining shook his head.

She knew that it was not that the natives were unfriendly, but because there were many tribes living here, and the tribes often fought with each other for territory, and even captured people from the hostile tribes and ate them, which were the legendary cannibals.

Because they have lived in such an environment for a long time, they are more aggressive towards other strangers of the same kind.

"eat human?"

After hearing Jiang Sining's explanation, Si Chenan's face changed.

He had read in history books that in times of famine, people would eat their own children, but he had never seen it in person. And now Daxia had so much food that it could not be eaten up, and it was even more impossible for such an absurd thing that went against the will of heaven to happen.

But he also knew that this problem was not easy to solve, because he brought too few people, and these natives all lived in dense woods, moving around like monkeys, and he could not deal with them at all.

"Queen, what do you think we should do?"

Jiang Sining was also thinking about this question.

Judging from the population of Daxia, there are at least hundreds of thousands, or even more than a million, of indigenous people in North America. It is definitely not something that can be accomplished overnight to educate so many people and bring them under the distant rule of Si Chenan.

She couldn't follow the Ansa's example and carry out indiscriminate massacres, or bring in smallpox to almost exterminate the local indigenous people and then force them to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Her method is still based on assimilation and education, but before that, she must first gain a firm foothold here.

So she ordered the ship to continue northward and arrived at a huge bay. Judging from the surrounding terrain, it should be the San Francisco of her previous life.

“Let’s build a city right here first.”

"Building a city should be easy," Si Chen An said, "but Queen, after the city is built, where will the people come from? We have to transport the people from Daxia, the journey is too long."

"Not far at all." Jiang Sining said.

"Not far?"

Si Chenan really wanted to say that it would take more than half a month to reach Australia Prefecture from the South China Sea, two months to reach South America Prefecture, and more than another month to reach here, which is the future North America Prefecture.

All in all, it would take at least four months.

Isn’t this far?

"I received news a few days ago that the university has built a larger, more advanced, and faster ship. It is twice as fast as the one we are on."

"That will take more than two months."

Jiang Sining shook his head, pointed to the west, and said, "From here, it's only 7,000 kilometers away from Ryukyu, and just over 8,000 kilometers away from the capital of Daxia. With the speed of the new ship, if we sail in a straight line, we can arrive in at most half a month."

"So close?"

Si Chenan understood. It seemed that they had gone around in a big circle on the sea.

"Let Qingyu send a group of people over first. We'll use the maximum carrying capacity of the new ship, which should be tens of thousands of people," Jiang Sining said. "These people must be carefully selected, and try not to include the elderly, the weak, the sick or the disabled. After all, the risk factor of opening up new land here is quite high."

"Okay," Si Chenan said, "I'll let Qiu He select another 10,000 elite soldiers to accompany us."

With these people and a solid city, Daxia should be able to gain a foothold here.
