Hearing this, Gu Fengchun was also stunned, so he snatched the telescope from Chen Si's hand. Sure enough, from the telescope, he saw rows of exquisite houses, but these houses were not modern buildings. They looked just like before.
The huts in rural areas are similar. From the high-precision telescope, Gu Fengchun discovered that these houses were actually made of wood and thatch.
"What's going on?" Gu Fengchun was very puzzled. It was amazing that such a small island appeared out of thin air, and the appearance of these houses overturned Gu Fengchun's previous judgment. This is really a
Is it a ghost island? If so, there should be no human habitation on it! Why does this house appear? This is a phenomenon that has not been mentioned by sailors who have discovered ghost islands in the past.
"How's it going?" Chen Si glanced at Gu Fengchun, who frowned and said, "I think we should go over and have a look."
Chen Si was also very interested in Gu Fengchun's proposal. He was originally a person who was not afraid of anything. Although he wanted to avoid trouble before, the discovery of these houses had aroused his curiosity. So he immediately ordered Zeng Yuanhang to move
He turned the helm and slowed down to approach the island.
In fact, this island is not small at all. It looks like it is at least seven or eight square kilometers. The trees on the island are lush and the long white beach is more like a white pearl chain, surrounding the island and being intruded by the sea water.
The huge cliffs formed by the rocks stood majestically on the side and looked extremely beautiful. Looking at this, Gu Fengchun couldn't help but wonder again whether there was an error in the navigation map. This was a serious island!
When Zeng Yuanhang saw Chen Si ordering to move towards the island, he immediately complained secretly. He was different from Chen Si. As the actual person in charge of the ship, he had the mentality of doing more than doing less and was not willing to risk them at all.
Seeing that Chen Si was determined about this danger, he just advised Chen Si not to leave the ship and go to the island no matter what he discovered later.
After Chen Si thought about his hard advice, he nodded in agreement. Ever since Chen Si discovered that he had begun to fall into a period of rapid aging, his attitude towards dangerous things has become much more cautious. Of course, he does not want to cause trouble. Got it.
Chen Si promised that Zeng Yuanhang's frown slightly relaxed. After the conversation with Chen Si, he immediately took out his logbook and wrote down this encounter in a meticulous manner.
Every regular ship will have a logbook, and Zeng Yuanhang’s attitude towards the logbook has always been serious. Every day he is responsible for writing an overview of the ship and what happened. This is different from the time he served in the navy.
Related. He knew the importance of the ship's logbook. If a ship crashed, the ship's logbook would record what happened to the ship when the disaster occurred. As long as he found the ship's logbook, it would be clear at a glance what the ship went through before it crashed.
The ship approached the island at a speed of five knots, and the speed was still decreasing. This was a rule set by Zeng Yuanhang, because there were likely to be reefs near the island, and if it ran aground on the rocks, it would cause big trouble.
As the distance to the island continued to get closer, more and more things were discovered. But Gu Fengchun suddenly got excited and said in a voice: "Sailboat! How can there be such a sailboat?" He saw it being washed away by the sea water.
On the edge of the cliff, a European-style wooden three-masted ship floated quietly on the water, drifting with the current. The canvas on the mast had long since disappeared, and only one of the three masts was left. The ship looked even more dilapidated, and looked like it might be damaged at any time.
The possibility of sinking. Gu Fengchun was very interested in this modern ship that could only be kept in museums, so he said to Chen Si: "That's where Zeng Yuanhang headed that way!" His tone was unquestionable.
Chen Si also nodded, and immediately issued a notice to Zeng Yuanhang through the communicator. When Zeng Yuanhang heard that a ship had been discovered, his heart suddenly became heavier. He had already discovered this target on the radar, but he didn't
He was willing to tell Chen Si just because he was afraid of arousing the boss's attention. He finally knew that his boss and the seemingly gentle Gu Fengchun were not good friends. They were just weird bosses who would take advantage of weird things wherever they happened.
Zeng Yuanhang was afraid that things would get out of hand in the end, so he handed the ship to the second officer to take the helm and ran to the deck himself. He picked up the telescope and looked at the ship, and immediately let out a sigh of relief and said quietly: "
Oh my god, this is a ghost ship. If I had been hiding as far away as possible, why did these two guys come over there? It’s true that the more ignorant people are, the more courageous they are!"
The legend of ghost ships appears frequently in Western records, but these records are all similar. These ships were sunk in shipwrecks or wars. When a storm comes, these ghost ships will appear in the ocean, and
It is said that people who see these ghost ships usually have bad luck. What is even more shocking is that many battleships that were sunk in World War II were also frequently witnessed, so the legend of ghost ships spread more and more widely...
When Zeng Yuanhang was serving in the Navy, he often went to sea for training with the army and witnessed many strange things in the ocean, including the ghost ship incident. Every time he encountered a ghost ship, there would still be a big storm, and the ships would often be like this.
The frequency of dangerous situations or malfunctions increases in storms. Therefore, when Zeng Yuanhang saw this three-masted ship, his reaction was naturally intense.
"Captain, aren't you going to that three-masted ship?" Zeng Yuanhang said with a livid face: "Haven't you heard the legend about this kind of ship? Believe me, nothing good will happen if you get close to it. I
I have been serving in the Navy since I was nineteen years old. I have been in the sea for more than twenty years. I have seen ghost ships five times. In these five times, my teammates died. Even twice, we were almost wiped out.
At that time, we were traveling on a large-tonnage destroyer. How could the safety performance of our small fishing boat compare with it?" Zeng Yuanhang became more and more excited as he spoke.
Chen Si listened to Zeng Yuanhang's words without making any comment. He turned to look at Gu Fengchun and said, "Fengchun, what do you think? Should we go there?" He pointed at the three-masted ship that was getting closer and closer.
, Chen Si’s tone was still very relaxed.
"Go!" Gu Fengchun's tone became firm. Luo Xiaodan also echoed: "Isn't it just a broken ship? What's the danger?" Luo Xiaodan, who was deeply influenced by the blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean 123", saw these three
The ship couldn't help but compare it with the black pearl in the film, and even thought it was a pirate's treasure ship, and there should be many treasures in it. Although she was not short of money, she really wanted to become a pirate.
The ancient style is not as pure as Luo Xiaodan. He just has a feeling in his heart that there is something in this ship that he is eager to know. Maybe he can learn something about the mystery of this island from this ship. From this ship
Judging from the style, this kind of pure wooden ship cannot be a product after the Industrial Revolution. The time should continue to be pushed back, and the earliest thing is around the seventeenth century. And this early ship appears here, with ancient style and pure
It's impossible to pass it by.
"Mr. Gu, please don't joke with the lives of everyone on the ship." Zeng Yuanhang said with a livid face.
Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "I know, but sometimes some adventures are necessary. If you are even afraid of the five islands and this ancient ship in front of you, then there is no need to move forward. Our ultimate goal
But in the deep sea tomb, more ships have been wrecked there than anywhere else in the world, and the weird things there will be more dangerous than here!" When Gu Fengchun said this, Chen Si's face also showed
A look of slight admiration.
This ancient style has really changed, from being afraid of unknown things to actively exploring. But Chen Si knows that in fact everyone will go through this stage. When encountering unknown things, they are not only curious but also afraid, and began to
At that time, fear was the main component, and only a small number of people would be driven by curiosity to overcome fear. When the fear was gone, they would find that what they had always been afraid of turned out to be nothing more than this.
Zeng Yuanhang listened to Gu Fengchun's words and snorted heavily. It was not that he was afraid, but that he was cautious by nature. Of course he knew that the place he was going to was dangerous. For this reason, he did not want to make trouble when unnecessary.
They lost their strength under the circumstances. When they got there, they had to deal with not only the terrifying nature, but also the two major competitors from Chen Si, Qinchuan and the coalition forces of the Americans and the Japanese.
However, Zeng Yuanhang stopped talking this time and let the ship go there. When the ship approached the three-masted ship, Zeng Yuanhang pulled a triangular talisman sewn with red cloth from his neck and handed it to Gu Fengchun.
, said: "Wear this before crossing over there. This amulet has been with me for more than 20 years. It is very effective." Gu Fengchun glanced at Zeng Yuanhang with a smile, feeling that this dark-skinned first mate was very
Interesting. I was still a little moved in my heart. Seeing that the color of the amulet in Zeng Yuanhang's hand had faded a lot, I knew that what Zeng Yuanhang said was true, so he said: "Uncle Zeng, this thing is too precious, so you should keep it.
, I have a very tough life, don't worry, as long as I am next to your captain, I will be unscathed." Gu Fengchun pointed at Chen Si beside him and smiled.
Chen Si rolled his eyes at him and thought to himself, you kid can even hold up a gold and silver level killer now, do you still need my protection? But he didn't say these words, he just raised his face and said
"Who said I want to go with you? This is a ghost ship, I'm afraid of bad luck!" But Luo Xiaodan next to him said in high spirits: "I will be the first to sign up to accompany you!" Looking at Luo Xiaodan,
With his face flushed by the sea breeze, Gu Feng snorted, but he was thinking about how to refuse this guy to board the ship together.
