Throughout the east coast, the population is increasing and the tribes are becoming more densely distributed.

This place is suitable for human habitation!

They have been sailing along the coastline, going ashore from time to time to communicate with the indigenous people.

The natives on the east coast are more aggressive, and tribal wars often occur. It seems that some small-scale tribal alliances have been formed.

The Ming Dynasty exploration team even got involved. While trading with one tribe, they were attacked by another tribe. One man was injured by a flying stone thrown by a sling, and Wang Chongdu was so angry that he led his men to pacify that tribe.

The tribes that were raided before fought together throughout the whole process and respected them like gods.

It took about two months for the fleet to stop and go and reach the southeastern corner of Australia.

They docked in a natural harbor, later called Melbourne.

The Chinese have another name for it: Xinjinshan!

San Francisco is in the United States, and Xinjinshan is in Australia. Both places have gold.

When exchanging items with the local natives, Li Zuqia walked up behind Wang Chongdu and asked, "Is the yellow chief's necklace gold?"

Wang Chongdu walked closer and took a closer look. The more he looked, the more it looked like gold.

The necklace was strung together with straw ropes, and there were ornaments made of bones and stones, mixed with a few golden things.

Wang Chongdu took out a small bag of refined salt and asked the chief to taste it.

Then, point to the other person's necklace and try to exchange.

Perhaps the necklace was very precious, so I put it on a piece of cotton and finally replaced it.

That night, the main members of the expedition gathered together.

Wang Chongdu said: "There is gold near here. The indigenous people definitely do not have the technology to mine gold. It is either gold sand washed from the river or gold nuggets picked up from somewhere."

"We are rich!" Gao Wenbao said with a ferocious smile.

Li Bin said: "Don't show off your lies. We'll ask more tomorrow."
