Chapter 10 Slowly heading west
Chapter 10 Slowly heading west
Along the way, everyone rested at night, killed sheep for meat, drank some goat milk tea in the morning, and then continued on the road, eating only two meals a day.
During the following period, Liu Zhonglu spent most of his mornings in Zhang Yong's car, teaching Zhang Yong how to speak Mongolian.
At noon, he switched to his own horse and commanded the Mongolian army to clear the way.
Everyone walked westward for more than two months before leaving the vast prairie and entering the Gobi desert.
During this period, in addition to learning Mongolian, Zhang Yong also took the opportunity to learn about the tongue-twisting Chinese language of this era.
There is a Mongolian station ahead, where a large amount of supplies have been prepared in advance for Liu Zhonglu's westbound team.
"Mr. Zhang, we have already left the boundary of the Western Regions. If we go further west, I am afraid that there was no record of it during the Han Dynasty. The rest of the journey will be extremely hot. We will go to the Mongolian Station to replenish some water first. We will stay at the Station tonight. Let’s rest for a night and we’ll set off again tomorrow morning.” Liu Zhonglu said.
When the Mongolian army marches, they usually choose places with grasslands and will never go to desert or Gobi areas unless it is absolutely necessary.
It's just that there are too many Gobi deserts in the territory of Khwarezm. Even if you try to avoid or even take a detour, there is still a certain distance that is not grassland.
"Then I'm sorry, General. I wonder if my car can carry me during the desert march?" Zhang Yong was a little worried.
There is no big problem if you let a few horses pull your car on the grassland, and there is nothing to worry about if you control the steering wheel yourself.
But it’s different in the desert!It is very dangerous for an off-road vehicle to run by itself, let alone if it is pulled by a horse. What if it encounters some quicksand?
"Sir, don't worry. There are only some Gobi deserts along the way. It will only take about three or four days without entering the center of the desert. There are just some big deserts around it. Don't worry, sir!"
Our marching route is already the same. In front of us is the route traveled by the Western Expedition Army. It is very safe and there will be no quicksand. Even if there is quicksand, dozens of my horses can pull you out. Liu Zhonglu said.
"If it doesn't work! There is no need for a horse. I can drive by myself these days. The general can sit in the car and go with me." Zhang Yong thought for a moment and said.
If the car really gets stuck in the quicksand, not to mention dozens of horses, hundreds of horses may not be able to pull it out, and your car will be written off by then.
If this car was written off, I would have nothing to interest Genghis Khan.
It's hard to say whether his plan can be successfully carried out by then, and the drone is also inside, and the solar panels are also inside the car.
The oil in your car is filled up before departure, so it shouldn't be a big problem if you run for a few days. For the horse team's journey of several days, your car should be able to complete it in one day.
By then, there should be at least more than half of the gasoline left, which will have little impact on my plans.
Moreover, this is Afghanistan, Iran, and there is no gasoline in the Central Plains. There is really nothing I can do.
Even if there is oil in the Central Plains, it is buried tens or even hundreds of meters underground, making it impossible to extract it.
But here, many oil mines are open-pit.
If you can find local people to get some primitive black oil, you should be able to get some gasoline by simple distillation.
My e-book contains a simple method for refining gasoline, which requires careful operation through high-temperature distillation.
You can get gasoline of decent quality, and it shouldn’t be a problem to use it for your off-road vehicle.Moreover, I have also inquired with Liu Zhonglu these days. In Khwarazm, this kind of black oil is generally used to light lamps.
Many poor families in Khwarezm use them at night, so it is not too difficult to find them.
"How can that be done? You said before that if there is not enough fuel, the Khan cannot be allowed to ride in the car. This is absolutely impossible. Don't worry, sir. We have checked on the road and everything will be fine." Liu Zhonglu He spoke.
"Sir, don't worry. Do you still remember the black oil I asked you about before?
As long as I get that black oil and use distilled liquor, I can refine some of the oil I need for my steel car, and even if I can't get it.
I estimate that driving out of this desert will only consume less than half of the fuel, and I can still let Dahan do it. "Zhang Yong said.
"No! Sir, I'm afraid you don't know that the Great Khan has already replied to your letter before. He is very interested in your steel mount and said that he must sit on it and have a look. Now your steel mount is not stupid. In any case, Da Khan must see you and your mount, he must." Liu Zhonglu said.
When he arrived at the Mongolian post station, the messenger handed him Genghis Khan's letter.
Liu Zhonglu's description of Zhang Yong is simply too fantastical, and even makes people unable to believe it.
After Genghis Khan received his letter, although he didn't believe it, he became very interested in this steel monster.
He was very interested in the idea that his eyes could emit bright lights and that he could drive on his own without a horse.
Orders have been given that Mr. Zhang Yong and the steel mount he drives must be safely delivered to his military camp for the Western Expedition no matter what. No loss is allowed.
Zhang Yong's steel mount, as well as objects that can emit lightning strikes, and their almost magical origins have successfully aroused the interest of the Mongolian Khan.
Not only Genghis Khan, but also Yelu Chucai and a large group of generals who conquered Mongolia to the west were also full of interest in Zhang Yong and the steel mounts he drove.
Zhang Yong was speechless when he heard this, well, in this era.
If Genghis Khan wanted something, he would get it.
"I already know the general's intention. Please rest assured that I also want the Great Khan to see this thing. And I am confident in replenishing the oil when we reach this area." Zhang Yong said.
"Why can't you trust me, sir? If I can't escort you to the Great Khan, it will be my fault. If there is any damage to the vehicle, I will bear all the responsibility, sir, don't worry." Liu Zhonglu said.
Just kidding, Genghis Khan said in his letter that he must ride this vehicle. If he wasted some fuel and prevented the Khan from riding in the vehicle, it would be a big sin.
"In that case, it's all up to General Liu's arrangement."
When Zhang Yong heard this, he no longer shied away. Anyway, if there was danger, he would just start the car and drive out. The off-road vehicle was still very powerful.
"Sir, please don't worry. In more than a month, we should be able to reach the Great Khan." Liu Zhonglu said.
That night, everyone rested in the Mongolian Station. In the Station, a large amount of supplies had been prepared in advance for the westbound team.
The westbound team rested here for a day before continuing on the road.
