“Mr. Grandi, Your Excellency the Governor asked me to tell you that it’s time for breakfast!” Rastigne’s voice reached Captain Grandi’s ear.

Grandy shook his head and said to Jerome Patterson, “It’s very good to be able to have porridge and bread for breakfast!”
After that, Captain Grandi and the others began to eat.
After breakfast, Grandi and the others went to the pier, where they were going to take a fast boat from here to the mouth of the “Congo River” [1], and then enter it.
Jerome Patterson and Rastigne personally saw them off.
[PS: During this period, people’s exploration of the Congo River was not as detailed as in later generations, and many people mistakenly regarded other rivers as the Congo River.
In fact, there is only one river that can really go deep into the hinterland of Central Africa, and that is the place where the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is divided. Historically, when France and Belgium divided their spheres of influence in the Congo, they were divided according to this river. ‘s outlet.
And the “Congo River” that Captain Grandi thinks can enter the hinterland is actually the Ornway River! 】
At 9 a.m., the steam clipper departed, and Grandy and the others standing on the deck waved at Jerome Fear Special Training and others.
Jerome Patterson and the others also waved and watched them leave.
Looking at the steamboat that was drifting away, Jerome Patterson asked Rastigne next to him: “Rastigne, do you think they can bring us good news?”
“Your Excellency the Governor, I believe they will be able to bring good news for us!” Rastigne responded firmly to Jerome Paterson.
“Well! I hope too!”
…
At 9:40 a.m., the steam clipper arrived near the Ornway River.
The crew quickly turned the rudder, and the steamship also slowed down slowly and cautiously into the Orneway.
After entering the Ornway, Captain Grandi re-emphasized their purpose this time, and asked everyone present to play the spirit of 12 points.
Everyone present was full of energy, with serious expressions on their faces.
When the steamship had been on the Ornway River for nearly two hours, Captain Grandy, who was standing at the bow with a telescope, saw a tribe not far from the river bank, and he hurriedly ordered the boat to stop.

“That’s good!” Captain Grandi nodded and continued, “Then let’s move on!”
Grandi and others continued to move forward, and soon reached the vicinity of the tribe surrounded by the fence.
After seeing Captain Grandi and the others, the “scout sentry” in the tribe immediately shouted at the tribe, saying something they couldn’t understand.
“Quick! Take advantage of this time to reload the ammunition!” Grandi slightly urged everyone present to start reloading.
Grandi’s expedition team ripped open the paper wrapped in gunpowder with their teeth and poured the gunpowder into the muzzle of the gun.
Mirabo Plenkovic and others directly opened the breech, stuffed the paper fixed-loading cartridge directly into the breech gun, and then closed it again.
After the whole process was completed, Mirabo Plenkovic’s loading speed was much faster than that of the scientific research team under Grandy.
Grandi glanced sideways at Mirabo Plenkovich and the others, a little surprised on his face.
After Grandi’s expedition team was fully loaded, a group of tribal soldiers armed with spears rushed out of the fence and gradually approached Captain Grandi.
