Qin Chuan's idea is similar to that of Chen Sidu, which is to let these soy sauce guys die. These people think that they can do whatever they want with high technology, but they don't know that their so-called high technology is nothing in this place.
.However, Chen Si is more thoughtful than Qin Chuan, that is, when the American expedition team is almost exhausted, occupy their equipment and increase the success rate. The average water depth in this area is about 1,300 meters. Logically speaking, Chen Si
Si's scheduled equipment is sufficient, but Chen Si is worried about certain trench areas. Those places are bottomless, and it would not be surprising even if they are 10,000 meters deep. To be honest, humankind's understanding of the ocean is not very good.
For many years, human beings have spent huge sums of money on space exploration, and have even landed on the moon 380,000 kilometers away, but they are unable to reach the deepest part of the ocean. It can even be said that the underwater world of the deep sea has nothing to do with human beings.
Know very little.
Five large fishing boats sailed towards a specific location. Chen Si was in a good mood, because the sea had been calm for the past two days, and the vast scenery of the Pacific Ocean was presented infinitely, making everyone intoxicated. Especially
Luo Xiaodan, she had gotten out of the narrow cabin and followed her on the deck every day to watch the sea view. However, as she got further and further away from the island, there were not even a single water bird in the nearby waters, but there were many fish in the water.
, but the fishing boat was moving at full speed, and there was no chance for Luo Xiaodan to fish. So after watching it for two days, the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and blue sky became boring. Moreover, it was cold in February, and her little face turned red from the cold.
, and soon she stayed in the cabin again and could not come out.
Gu Fengchunze spent all day in the cabin calculating various data with Chen Si. Chen Si and Qin Chuan were different from the Americans and Japanese. The people on the ship were all experts. In the spirit of not bringing a burden, those weaklings
The scholar didn't bring anyone with him. All the information was brought over by the two of them. If there were any questions, they would contact them through satellite phones and the Internet. Although these five boats were fishing boats, their interiors were modified to be similar to military boats, and their weapons were also very powerful.
It's enough. If we go to the South Pacific and subvert one or two small island countries, we can almost handle it.
"Beep..." The sound of unusual alarms suddenly appeared throughout the cabin. Chen Si and Gu Fengchun heard the alarm and immediately ran towards the cockpit.
"What's going on?" Chen Si asked with a serious face. Chen Si is also the captain of five ships. He should be said to be the commander of this "fishing fleet", but the specific operations are left to the first mate on the ship. These people
They are all experts who have spent half their lives rolling in the waves, and two of them are even retired officers from navy warships.
"Our satellite signal was suddenly interrupted, and we couldn't contact other places. It was probably affected by a magnetic storm." The first mate said, but he hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable. Chen Si frowned, dissatisfied.
He said: "Is this something?" Logically speaking, such a thing should not sound the alarm. If the satellite signal is interrupted, Hainan Airlines can also indicate the direction based on the time, sextant, altitude angle of the sun, compass and other things. If you lose your way,
The possibility is very low.
"Not only that, the compass is off to a certain extent..." the first mate said with a frown.
Chen Si nodded and said: "This should be the function of magnetic declination. This is a phenomenon caused by the misalignment of the earth's north and south poles and the geographical north and south poles. This will happen anywhere in the world. You won't
Don’t you know?” In ancient China, the record of magnetic declination first appeared in Shen Kuo’s “Mengxi Bi Tan” of the Song Dynasty, while in Western countries, Columbus discovered this geographical phenomenon during his voyage. This is the knowledge of modern sailors.
Required courses.
"I suspect that there is also a problem with our radar..." the first mate said softly. This is what the first mate wants to say most.
"What do you mean?" Chen Si asked confused.
"Please look here." The first mate pointed to the information sent back by the radar on the display screen. On the display of layers of green ripples, Chen Si saw a point appearing in a place three nautical miles away. According to analysis, this
The point should be an island reef.
"The radar shows that this is an island, but we have already left all the islands. The latest map shows that there are no records of islands and reefs here. There is not a single island or reef in the sea for hundreds of miles. The first mate's face was very sad.
It's solemn.
The first mate is a man in his fifties named Zeng Yuanhang. He once served in the South China Sea Fleet and later held an important position in the fishery surveillance ship in the South China Sea. He was a talent poached by Chen Si with a lot of money. He has extensive knowledge of the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Its understanding.
"You mean..." Chen Si knew that the first mate was an experienced sailor and knew that there was something in his words.
"This may be a netherworld island." Zeng Yuanhang said with a sigh.
"Netherworld Island?" Chen Si and Gu Fengchun looked at each other. Before going to sea, the two of them did enough work. They knew that there were such ghost-like islands in the sea. Such islands are often encountered in the South China Sea, and in the Atlantic Ocean
There are also records that these islands appear out of thin air in the sea, just like ordinary islands, with trees, seabirds, rocks and beaches on them, but they disappear out of thin air soon after they appear. No one knows where these islands come from. For hundreds of years
, these Netherworld Islands are not so confusing to people. Zeng Yuanhang is a lake, so he naturally understands that the appearance of these Netherworld Islands will not be a good thing.
"Let everyone be prepared. If you can avoid it, try to avoid it." Chen Si ordered.
"It seems that this journey will not be very peaceful!" Gu Fengchun looked at the red dot on the radar and said sincerely.
"It's normal to not be calm." When Chen Si said this, he smiled and said: "It's the trade wind season now, but it's calm now. Do you think it's normal?"
Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "Then let's just change the course and leave this matter to Chief Zeng."
Zeng Yuanhang said: "It is unlikely to avoid it. This is the fourth time I have encountered this thing in my life, and I have never been able to avoid it." When he said this, he smiled bitterly.
"How do you say it?" Gu Fengchun looked curious.
"You'll know by yourself." Chen Si suddenly pointed at the radar display and said. The red dot was not far away from the ship, only two or three nautical miles away. At this time, moreover, the position of this dot had deviated.
original location.
"How could this happen?" Gu Fengchun let out a long breath. Although Gu Fengchun knew the weirdness of this mysterious island from the information he searched before, he still asked the questions in his heart when he was there.
"This, only the Sea Dragon King knows the reason." Zeng Yuanhang said with a livid face. Although Zeng Yuanhang had served in the navy, he was still a very superstitious person at heart. He was originally from a fisherman's family, and he had been obsessed with it since he was a child.
Living by the sea, I learned more about the legends of the sea than I did in the navy, so I had a deep respect for the sea.
After listening to Zeng Yuanhang's words, Chen Si shrugged his shoulders and said solemnly: "Contact other ships, keep a distance, slow down, and try to avoid it."
After Zeng Yuanhang listened, he immediately issued Chen Si's order. After the alarm bell rang, everyone on Chen Si's deck entered the cabin. But Gu Fengchun was determined to see the beauty of this mysterious island, so
He signaled for someone to open the hatch and let him out.
Chen Si also had this intention. Although he didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want to miss out on experiencing this kind of thing. According to previous records, although this kind of island is mysterious, there is no indication of how dangerous it is. So,
, Gu Fengchun and others boarded the deck. In order to ensure the safety of the two, Zeng Yuanhang ordered dozens of crew members to guard the two in full force. Luo Xiaodan also hurried out when he heard that there was something interesting.
The sea is still a deep blue, but the waves in the distance are slowly getting bigger and turbulent. The dark clouds on the sea in the distance are also gathering, and it looks like the sky is going to change. And in front of you, on the left, a hazy island appears
In front of everyone, Luo Xiaodan, who didn't know the truth, looked slightly disappointed. Isn't it just a small island? What's there to see? Along the way, the ship passed through countless nameless islands. When he first saw these small islands,
, Luo Xiaodan was very excited, and threatened to buy several islands for development and develop them into high-end villa areas with sea views. But she was just talking. There are many faraway lands, and transportation here is inconvenient. Only a ghost would come to a place like this to buy.
As long as you have the money to buy a villa on the coastline, you can buy land and build it on an island along the coast!
Luo Xiaodan frowned and said to Gu Fengchun: "It was because of this island that the alarm bell was sounded? What is so special about this island?" He looked at the heavily armed personnel around him and the solemn and nervous expressions on their faces.
Luo Xiaodan felt vaguely that things were not that simple, so he asked: "Is there danger?"
Gu Fengchun said "hmm", then nodded and said: "The danger is not necessarily, but this island appears quite suddenly, because it has never been found on the original maritime map. This should be a ghost island. In this world
There is something that does not exist in the first place." When he said this, Gu Fengchun's expression changed again, because he had clearly seen that the island had deviated from his sight again and appeared on the port side of the island.
"The direction has changed." Chen Si held a telescope and could see more clearly than Gu Fengchun.
Luo Xiaodan looked at Gu Fengchun with a blank expression. It was obvious that she didn't know what this ghost island meant. But at this moment, Chen Si said with a look of astonishment: "How is it possible? There are actually people on this island.
