As the day goes by, the thick fog on the sea gradually dissipates. At this time, the two people who decided to board the boat for exploration are getting closer and closer to the shadow of the boat in the distance.
The further they swam, the more shocked and uneasy they became, so much so that in the end they both stayed where they were, daring not to go any further, because after the thick fog on the sea began to dissipate, a shocking scene appeared.
in front of the two of them.
This is a large-scale ancient warship battle group, with the number of various ships reaching an astonishing two hundred.
Looking from a distance, the vast sea is full of warships. Those large and small warships are connected one after another. They all come towards us with a chilling air, cutting through the wind and waves. Look at the formation.
The scene looks like a war and is quite shocking.
"I'll go! How long has it been? How come there are so many ships suddenly?"
Lin Shuhang exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that hundreds of warships would appear on the sea in just a short while.
"This may be an expedition fleet." Wu Gui guessed.
"Expedition fleet?"
Lin Shuhang frowned. Why did an expedition fleet suddenly appear in Xi Sisi's dream? This is incredible!
Looking at the huge ancient fleet on the sea, Lin Shuhang not only felt a little confused.
"Did you see Lin Shuhang?" Wu Gui pointed at the ancient fleet on the sea and said: "The various warships in these fleets add up to no less than 200. If it weren't for an expedition, no country would waste its people and money on deploying such a naval fleet at sea.
You must know that such a fleet is large enough to sweep across the entire Qingcang Continent! In the history I know, except for the ancient North Sea Islands, no country or dynasty has ever had such terrifying maritime power!"
In fact, what Wu Gui said is not unreasonable. You must know that the sea is not as good as the land. To deploy military forces at sea, you must first have strong logistical support. Because the sea is boundless, the army traveling on the sea cannot attack cities and plunder the land like the army on land.
Supplies at any time. Therefore, without expedition, no country would waste its people and money on deploying an army of this size at sea.
"You said this maritime fleet is the fleet of the North Sea Islands?"
Lin Shuhang frowned and asked.
"No!" Wu Gui shook his head: "This is definitely not the fleet of the North Sea Islands. Maybe... maybe it is an illusory fleet created by dreams."
"What should we do? Should we go there?" Lin Shuhang asked hesitantly.
"Of course I have to go and have a look. Didn't you just say that you are more curious than afraid?" said the ghost ghost.
"But this is an army battleship. What if we were caught in the past?" Lin Shuhang asked worriedly.
The ghost ghost shook his head and said: "No, there should be no living people up here."
Lin Shuhang asked in surprise: "How do you know there are no living people on these ships?"
Wu Gui said in a deep voice: "Don't you find that these ships are very strange?"
"Strange?" Lin Shuhang was stunned, and looked ahead carefully, and he really discovered something strange about this ancient fleet - all the ships were drifting upside down!
"Ah? Are these boats floating upside down?!!"
Lin Shuhang said in surprise. Looking at the ancient ships sailing backwards on the sea with the stern as the bow, Lin Shuhang became more and more confused, and unknowingly, he had goosebumps on his body.
The ghost ghost nodded: "Floating upside down is just one of them, the important thing is the direction of the sea water!"
"Where does the sea water flow?"
Lin Shuhang frowned and carefully tasted Pin Wu Gui's words. Suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and his face immediately turned pale.
Wu Gui said in a deep voice: "Lin Shuhang, look, this fleet is heading south, but the flow of the sea water is north. This means that these ships are moving on Wu Gui! And they are using the stern of Wu Gui to move.
Don’t you think it’s strange that a fleet without power moves like ghosts?”
Lin Shuhang nodded solemnly: "I asked you why it feels so awkward. It's really weird when you mention it."
"Okay then, let's get on the boat and take a look. We must get to the bottom of this matter." Lin Shuhang said and took the lead to swim towards one of the ancient boats...
This is an extremely huge building ship, nearly 200 meters long and 60 meters wide. It is a heavyweight warship among ancient naval warships.
Lin Shuhang knew about the building boat. It was a large ship that resembled a building. Since ancient water battles were mostly based on bow and arrow shooting, ship collisions, and hand-to-hand combat, the general building boat was more than a hundred meters long and tall.
More than thirty meters.
However, this kind of boat has poor wind and wave resistance, so it can only travel in rivers and lakes but cannot sail on the sea.
However, the building boat in front of me is an exception, because this building boat travels steadily in the wind and waves, and you can tell at a glance that it has been specially modified.
And the fact is exactly like this. Before the expedition, in order to adapt to the complex and changeable maritime environment, this building ship, which was supposed to sail on the river, carried out a series of upgrades and transformations to address the weakness of the building ship in resisting wind and waves, which not only reduced the risk of
The height of the ship's building has been increased, the width of the hull has been widened, and its center of gravity has been readjusted. It can be said that this is an upgraded version of the building ship.
"Oh my God! Who built this ship? It's so big! It's almost as big as an aircraft carrier! No wonder the building ship is called a mobile fortress on the water!"
Under the building, Lin Shuhang looked up at the dozen-story-high hull of the building and exclaimed in amazement. In his impression, the only giant ships with a length of more than 200 meters were aircraft carriers and giant oil tankers.
But aircraft carriers and giant oil tankers are the ultimate products of modern industrial technology, and both are made of steel. The wooden building ship in front of you is an ancient thing. It is made entirely of wood!
At this moment, Lin Shuhang really admired the command of the ancients. In an era when technology was underdeveloped, he was able to assemble a building ship the size of an aircraft carrier out of wood. This had to be said to be a miracle.
"By the way, Wu Gui's ship is so high, how can we get on it!" Lin Shuhang raised his head and asked.
The 40-meter-high hull is equivalent to a 14-story building!
Looking at the hull of the ship, which was tens of meters high, Wu Gui thought for a while and said: "There is no ladder here, so you can only climb up! Lin Shuhang, draw a knife talisman."
"Use a sword charm? What should I do if I sink the ship?" Lin Shuhang asked.
"Don't worry, it can't be sunk. This huge ship has watertight compartments."
"Oh, that's good." Lin Shuhang nodded, stretched out his hand and quickly drew two hand knife talismans in the air, and his left and right hands suddenly shone with golden light.
"I'll try it first." As he spoke, Lin Shuhang reached out and grabbed the ship wall. With a soft pop, his hands sank into the thick hull like a knife cutting through tofu.
"Hey! This boat is really thick!" Lin Shuhang exclaimed.
The ghost ghost smiled and said: "Do you think all warships that can sail in the sea are made of paper? Are you ready? If you are, we will rush forward."
"Ready, Witch Ghost, come here, you possess me, I will take you up." Lin Shuhang said.
The witch ghost nodded and flew to possess Lin Shuhang.
Lin Shuhang began to climb up the hull of the building ship with his two hands that were wielded by hand knives. Not to mention grabbing a hole every time, just like cutting tofu with a knife. Soon Lin Shuhang was able to climb onto the building ship easily.
After climbing onto the building, Lin Shuhang saw two soldiers in black armor standing in front of him before he could stand firmly, holding knives and glaring at him.
Suddenly two ferocious-looking soldiers appeared beside him, and Lin Shuhang, who was unprepared, screamed.
"Lin Shuhang, don't be afraid, they are all dead bodies!"
Seeing that Lin Shuhang was about to fall off the boat due to panic, Wu Gui hurriedly reminded him.
Thanks to Lin Shuhang's strong adaptability, although he was panicked, he did not let go of his hands because of the unexpected situation. Lin Shuhang looked up in panic and found that the two soldiers with ferocious faces had indeed been dead for a long time.
"Damn it, I was so scared that I almost fell into the sea!"
Lin Shuhang cursed and climbed onto the boat.
After standing still, the witch ghost flew out from his body.
The two of them started to stand on the deck of the building and looked around. It didn't matter if they didn't look at it. When they saw it, they turned pale with fright. Because for some reason, the deck of the building was full of dead bodies!
There were about one to two hundred dead bodies scattered all over the deck, and the messy scene looked horrifying.
"Why are there so many dead people?" Lin Shuhang asked with trembling heart.
The witch ghost said nothing, frowned and began to step forward to check.
After a while, Wu Gui said in a deep voice: "Lin Shuhang, come here quickly."
"What's wrong?" Lin Shuhang ran over quickly.
"How do you think they died?" Wu Gui asked, pointing to a deck of dead bodies.
"I'm not a murderer, how do I know how they died?"
The ghost ghost shook his head and said: "Look at these dead bodies. Although they died in different ways, their expressions without exception are full of sadness. Look at their skins. Although most of them have rotted, you can still see
The deep wrinkles on it, as well as their teeth and bones, have been severely worn and atrophied. What do you think this means?"
"You don't think they die of old age, do you?" Lin Shuhang joked.
The ghost ghost nodded and said seriously: "It's not that I think it, but it's for sure!"
"I'm sure they will die of old age!" the ghost said with certainty.
"Die of old age? Stop joking?" Lin Shuhang said: "The soldiers are all around twenty years old. If they die of old age, doesn't it mean that they have been wandering at sea for decades? Is this possible? It is too unscientific!"
"There are always exceptions to everything. Do you know the 'stagnation realm'?" asked the ghost ghost.
"Zujie? What is stagnant world?" Lin Shuhang asked curiously.
"There is a legend about a space area without time!"
"A space area without time? What is that?" Lin Shuhang frowned.
"A crack in the universe!" said the ghost ghost.
"The crack in the Qiankun? Let me go, isn't this in Xi Sisi's dream? Why is the Qiankun involved again? What does this have to do with the Qiankun?" Lin Shuhang asked puzzledly.
The ghost ghost said: "Because the stagnation world is a special phenomenon caused by the splitting of the universe, I ask you, do you know what the universe is made of?"
"Isn't Qiankun the universe? Of course it is composed of time and space." Lin Shuhang said.
The ghost ghost frowned and said, "What universe? The universe is composed of six realms. The six realms are connected to form the universe. Sometimes cracks appear at the connection points due to some special reasons. This phenomenon is called a crack in the universe."
Seeing that Lin Shuhang didn't understand, Wu Gui explained: "The Qiankun Crack is a very strange phenomenon. Whether this phenomenon appears or ends, it will be as fast as lightning. If someone unfortunately enters the Qiankun Crack when the Universe Cracks, when they come out,
It’s likely that it has been stuck in the crack in that second for thousands of years! Do you understand what I’m saying?”
"It seems, it seems, I probably understand a little bit..." Lin Shuhang nodded blankly, and somehow he felt that the crack in the universe mentioned by the witch ghost was a strange time tunnel.
I remember that Lin Shuhang once read a report when he was a child. He vaguely remembered that in the 1980s, a foreign aircraft was unfortunately struck by lightning while flying through the clouds. At that time, the aircraft disappeared in mid-air in an instant. Waiting for the aircraft
It was already an hour later when it showed up again.
After the plane landed, the airport personnel discovered that all the passengers on the plane had turned into skeletons for some reason, and the watches worn by the passengers had also stopped at one hour ago.
That incident also became the biggest unsolved mystery in the world at that time. Now that I think about it, that incident must have been the phenomenon caused by the cracking of the universe.
Wu Gui nodded and said: "Well, that's good. Let's go inside the ship and take a look. I hope I can find the 'daily sea diary' of this large ship. In that case, I can know what happened to this fleet at sea."
.”
"Witch, what is Daily Hai Diary?" Lin Shuhang asked.
"A kind of military record of going to sea." Wu Gui said.
"Oh, it's the logbook! I understand!" Lin Shuhang nodded and walked toward the building with the ghost ghost.
"Lin Shuhang, wait!" For some reason, the wizard suddenly got shocked and hurriedly stopped Lin Shuhang from moving forward.
"What's wrong? Why are you always so startled, Witch Ghost?" Lin Shuhang shouted dissatisfied.
Wu Gui pointed at the fleet of ancient ships in the distance and frowned, "What do you see on those ships?"
Lin Shuhang followed the direction of the wizard's finger and lay down on the edge of the building, looked at it, and immediately stayed there.
I saw a densely packed warship in the distance, with incredibly large corpses lying quietly on the deck.
Those corpses were about ten meters long, with bodies all over their bodies, and there were about two hundred of them. There was a giant corpse on the deck of almost every warship.
Perhaps because of how long they had been on the ship, the giant corpses carried by the warships had already been severely decomposed, but if you look closely, you can still tell that they are human corpses.
"Holy crap! What is that?" Lin Shuhang exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Human? Why is it so big?" Lin Shuhang asked in shock.
The witch ghost nodded and said, "It seems to be the corpse of a giant spirit."
"A giant spirit? What is a giant spirit?" Lin Shuhang asked puzzledly.
"Djinns are giants that lived in ancient times. Legend has it that they are the descendants of gods and live in a distant lost continent. We never expected that we would encounter their corpses on the sea."
"Who is so powerful that he can kill such a creature?" Lin Shuhang said in surprise as he looked at the giant corpses on the warships.
"If I guess correctly, the people who killed the giant spirits are those in the coffins." Wu Gui pointed at the countless floating coffins on the sea.
Lin Shuhang looked back at the sea full of floating coffins, and asked blankly: "They are too awesome! They are so fierce, even giants dare to kill them!"
"Strange, which country's expeditionary army is this? Hunting so many giant spirits at once? It's incredible!" Wu Gui frowned and muttered.
After being stunned for a long time, the two began to walk towards the building. At this time, the two of them did not know that the sea that appeared in Xi Sisi's dream had quietly changed...
The daily log is a logbook, which is an important document that records the navigation process of a ship. According to the different records, it is generally divided into three systems of logs, namely, the logistics log, the sentry log, the captain's log and the captain's log.
.
"Logistics Sea Log" mainly records various data such as ship status, ship crew, ship cargo, supply consumption, etc., and is recorded by the logistics officer on duty every day.
"Sentinel Sea Records" mainly records the daily navigation conditions of ships, such as sailing date, course, speed, maritime weather, arrival date at destination, etc.
"Warship Long Hai Di" mainly records various events that occurred during the ship's voyage, such as the ship changing its route, encountering shipwrecks, naval battles, or other emergencies.
"Dudu Hai Di" is responsible for recording the combat goals, objectives, combat processes, deployment of combat forces, and the handling and results of various emergencies of the entire fleet. It is the most precious of the four types of Hai Di.
Recording data is also an important basis for future analysis and summary of navigation experience, judgment and handling of navigation incidents.
The daily sea diary that the two were looking for this time was the "Captain Sea Diary", which recorded and dealt with various major events during the fleet's voyage. Fortunately, this largest building ship was the owner of the entire ancient ship fleet.
The command ship, so the two of them easily found the most important document in the entire fleet, "Dudu Hai Ji"
"Dudu Hai Ji", which records the secrets of the entire fleet's voyage, was found in a study room in the building.
The study is the study of the naval commander, about ten square meters in size. It is quiet and dark inside.
After entering the study, the first thing you see is a row of large bookshelves. The bookshelves are filled with various military books. Because they have not been taken care of for a long time, a thick layer of dust has fallen on them.
"Witch, are you sure you can find "Dudu Hai Ji" here?" Lin Shuhang asked, pulling at the spider web in front of him.
Wu Gui nodded: "Yes, this is the study of the navy commander. Did you see that person? He should be the navy commander."
Wu Gui stretched out his hand and pointed, looking in the direction of Wu Gui's finger, and saw a figure sitting at the desk close to one wall.
The man was wearing armor and had a stooped back. He was sitting at the desk writing something with a pen.
Lin Shuhang gasped, but then calmed down, because he found that the man was motionless, and the armor was covered with thick dust. It was actually a mummy like the others.
The witch ghost took the lead in walking towards the weathered mummy. When he walked up to the man, the witch ghost clasped his hands together and saluted him, and then pulled out the unfinished daily diary from his pen.
This is a book with slightly yellowed pages, with the four characters "Dudu Hai Ji" written in ancient seal script.
"Lin Shuhang, look, this is the "Dudu Hai Ji" which records the events of the fleet's voyage." Wu Gui shook the book in his hand at Lin Shuhang who followed him.
"Then look at what's written inside!" Lin Shuhang urged.
The wizard smiled and began to read the book "Dudu Hai Ji".
As time went by, Wu Gui's brows became darker and darker, apparently he had discovered something important in the book.
