Sailing and Conquest

I'll tell you all, this land is round and we can sail forward without looking back, never worrying about losing our way home—wealth and homestead lie straight ahead.

Chapter Two: The Most Suitable Person for Sailing

Just before boarding the ship, Li Mo's only close friend gave him a dull gray pendant, supposedly a family heirloom, very effective at warding off evil and ensuring safety. Li Mo was deeply moved and vowed to find him a mermaid's tear.

No mermaid was seen, but a storm unexpectedly arrived. Everyone else stayed in their cabins, but Li Mo, driven by excitement, insisted on experiencing the thrill of "battling the raging seas." A wave crashed over him, and he instantly sank to the bottom, vanishing without a trace.

Then Li Mo became Qin Mo, owning his own fleet, ready to set sail at any time, and even able to build his own "empire on which the sun never sets" with his advanced nautical knowledge.

Qin Mo had already observed the Big Dipper and Polaris, meaning that everything on this planet was the same as the Earth he had lived on. He no longer cared whether it was a parallel universe or the same plane of existence; he was now only considering how to maximize his advanced knowledge and experience.

Qin Mo was already fantasizing about starting her own great seafaring career once she had completely resolved her physical problems and figured out the specific power distribution in this world.

First and foremost, the financial issue must be resolved. Without money, it is impossible to build a powerful navy. A power without a navy will forever remain a regional power and cannot be considered a world power.

Secondly, you need a sufficient number of loyal subordinates, even if they are mercenaries. You can't expect natives to manage your colonies, can you? You'll need to station troops around the world, and that's what's giving Qin Mo the biggest headache—Dayuan's population is severely insufficient compared to his ambitious plans.

As for the most important base, Da Yuan could barely manage it. As for the rich and prosperous Taiwan Island from Qin Mo's previous life, Qin Mo had plenty of ways to build it into a solid base.

Qin Mo even wondered if her dream of sailing had been realized too perfectly.
