Chapter 167 Geography of Australia
An expedition team from Dongyang State is sailing on the sea, their destination is Australia.
The team is not large, with only about a dozen people.
These include several experts in the field of geography, as well as soldiers responsible for protecting their safety.
On a boat, Ozawa-kun stared out the window, frowning at the bad weather.
He complained: "Damn it! Since we approached the Australian waters, it has been windy and rainy."
“It almost capsized our boat several times.”
This Ozawa-kun may look like a young expert, but he is actually an experienced explorer.
He was called Great Boss and was the leader of the expedition.
Hearing Ozawa-kun's complaints, Nobita-kun comforted him: "Ozawa-kun, don't worry, everything is worth it."
"Australia is now equivalent to no man's land. We are here to investigate whether its geographical environment has changed and to search for important strategic resources."
"As long as we can land successfully, we can start the investigation."
Ozawa nodded, indicating that he agreed with Nobita's point of view.
He pointed ahead and said excitedly: "Look! I see land!"
Nobita immediately gave the order: "Prepare your equipment and land immediately! Be careful!"
All the team members responded in unison: "Hi!"
With an order, the survey team began to move.
After a period of preparation, the expedition finally reached land.
The sunlight shines on the earth, illuminating a strange and mysterious scene.
The team members set foot on this unknown land with excitement and nervousness, looking forward to uncovering the secrets.
Ozawa-kun walked at the front of the team. He stepped carefully through the grass and vigilantly observed the surrounding environment.
Following behind was a group of brave explorers, who slowly groped their way inside.
Every step is filled with curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world.
Ozawa opened an old map and looked carefully at the locations marked on it, while comparing them with his actual location.
He frowned and said to himself in confusion: "Impossible, is the map wrong, or are we lost?"
The terrain depicted on the map is very different from the actual scene, as if they are two completely different places.
He felt uneasy, worried that the expedition would get into trouble.
So he walked quickly towards the leader of the expedition team, Nobita.
"Mr. Nobita, according to the map, the land in front of us is not like this." Ozawa said anxiously, handing the map to Mr. Nobita.
Nobita took the map and looked at it carefully.
He also discovered the huge difference between the two, and a trace of worry arose in his heart.
According to the map, the direction they were going should be correct, but why was the actual situation so different?
"Mr. Ozawa, look at the land here." Nobita pointed to the land under his feet and said seriously.
Ozawa-kun squatted down and looked at the ground carefully.
He noticed that the color and texture of the soil and the distribution of vegetation were different from what was described on the map.
He raised his head and said to Nobita with a firm gaze: "Nobita, do you mean that the geographical location here has changed?"
Nobita nodded in agreement.
Although this possibility is difficult to accept, it is the only reason that can explain the discrepancy.
Perhaps geological movement or other natural forces have caused the land to change, making the map no longer match reality.
"It's possible, otherwise there's no way to explain all this. But no matter what, we can't give up."
"Keep going inside, maybe we can find more clues." said Nobita.
"Hi!" Ozawa nodded in response. He knew that he could not back down in the face of difficulties.
So the expedition set out again.
The expedition team has traveled hundreds of kilometers, and the climate here is very changeable.
Sometimes it was scorching hot, and sometimes it was stormy and rainy. The team members had to stay vigilant at all times to deal with all kinds of bad weather and dangers.
In addition, they have to be careful to avoid poisonous insects, snakes and ants hiding in the dark, as they may be bitten or even killed if they are not careful.
However, despite their utmost caution, two team members unfortunately died.
Ozawa picked up the map again and studied it carefully. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he showed a shocked expression: "Nobita, although the geography has changed, the map has lost its function."
"But according to the map, the place we are in now should be a desert area, but look, there is no trace of the desert here at all!"
Upon hearing this, Nobita-kun hurriedly checked the surroundings and found that just as Ozawa-kun had said, there was no trace of the desert here.
He frowned and fell into deep thought: "It seems that the fall of this group of meteorites has brought extremely serious consequences!"
“Not only has the topography changed, but the geographical location has also undergone tremendous changes.”
Ozawa nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Yes, this is really terrible."
Nobita agreed, "Let's go a little further, maybe we can find something new."
So the expedition continued on.
They cut through the thorns and brambles along the way, and climbed over the steep mountain with difficulty.
Before they knew it, they had walked several hundred kilometers, but still did not see any trace of the desert.
At this time, Ozawa was leading the team and walking in the front. Suddenly, he accidentally tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
"Baka!" Ozawa-kun got up angrily, picked up the stone and threw it hard into the distance.
However, at this moment, some black liquid suddenly emerged from under the stone. Ozawa-kun widened his eyes in surprise: "This is... is this oil?"
Hearing this, Nobita-kun hurried over and looked at the flowing black liquid excitedly: "It's really oil!"
"And the quality looks very good. This should be a shallow oil field with a high oil yield."
"Unfortunately, we didn't bring any professional exploration equipment, so we couldn't get the specific information about this oil field."
"Mark this location first." Ozawa-kun said calmly.
Nobita nodded.
The team continued to move forward, and during this time they discovered several more mineral mountains. These ores were directly exposed and did not need to be mined. They were simply a natural treasure trove.
What surprised them even more was that they actually discovered a gold mine. The entire expedition team cheered with excitement.
