Chapter 1164: The Book of Ghouls Shows the Way
"Wrong route?" I looked at him blankly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Ergou nodded, unfolded the world map on the console, and then took another pen and quickly marked a point at the dock where we departed, and then marked a point on the sea surface and the location of the island country.
After the painting was finished, Li Ergou looked at me and said, "Do you see something?" ”
I shook my head blankly, and he said again: "According to what you said, the time for us and Xu Fu to sail to sea is one day and one night, but which of us do you think we can run far?" ”
"Of course we are." I said, Xu Funa was 2,000 years ago, when the boats were made of wood, and the power was also based on sails and manpower rowing. And we are now relying on mechanical power, and we must be faster than them in terms of speed!
"I also wonder about this, at the same time, it stands to reason that our speed is faster than them, and we have surpassed them in the sea, if we could meet Penglai Immortal Island, we would have met it a long time ago." I frowned, a little puzzled.
"Not bad." Li Ergou nodded: "Then tell me how Xu Fu told you about the sea route?" ”
I didn't hesitate: "After he let me out of Bohai Bay, I kept sailing in a southeasterly direction. ”
"But after he finally left Penglai Immortal Island, why did he arrange the remaining boys and girls in the island country?" Li Ergou asked, pointing to the map.
I squinted at the map, and my whole person seemed to be enlightened, and my thoughts became clear in an instant.
Indeed, according to the location of the island country and the Bohai Bay, if Xu Fu had been sailing in the southeast direction since he went to sea, he would only get farther and farther away from the island country.
Even after he came out of Penglai Immortal Island, he was worried about the revenge of the First Emperor, so he planned to arrange the remaining boys and girls. But he could have found a nearby island to arrange, why would he go far and choose to arrange the boy and girl to the island country?
Navigation in ancient times was much more dangerous than navigation now, didn't Xu Fu do this to kill openly?
Xu Fu is not stupid, this is something that Li Ergou and I can think of, he can't think of it!
There is only one last possibility!
It was after Xu Fu left Penglai Immortal Island, in fact, he was very close to the island country, so he arranged the boy and girl to go to the island country!
There's only one possibility, otherwise I can't think of any other reason.
"But if you calculate it this way, Xu Fu didn't go straight along the southeast direction at all, but turned around at a certain point on the sea surface to go to the island country, could it be that he was lying to me?" I said with a frown.
Li Ergou shook his head: "No, he should be telling the truth, he probably didn't know about the deviation from the route, maybe he knew it at the time, but after more than two thousand years, he forgot it, so he didn't tell you." ”
"After all, when sailing on the sea, modern times we can correct the course through the satellite positioning system, but at that time they could only rely on experience and nautical charts. In the vast sea, if you sail for a long time, it is easy to cause paralysis in the direction, and a slight change of direction is imperceptible. ”
I froze in place, on the sea, without a reference, and it was indeed easy to deviate from course.
Li Ergou and I drove the ship for a day and a night, and we kept using the satellite system to compare and correct the route.
And the sea is so big, if you deflect the direction a little and the distance is lengthened in the end, then the final gap will be 108,000 miles!
After five seconds, I exhaled heavily: "Turn around and drive towards the island country, if you calculate it like this, at least it proves that the real Penglai Immortal Island is not far from the island country." ”
Li Ergou nodded, and then began to turn the direction of the cruise ship, and at the same time turned his head and smiled at me: "What's the matter, do you think I'm more at ease, if it weren't for the fat man, you kid probably don't know where to drive the boat." ”
I smiled at him, not to mention, Li Ergou really helped a lot this time, if he hadn't found out the problem, I would have started the boat in the southeast direction with acupuncture stupidly!
After the cruise ship changed direction, it drove quickly again, and I was a little more relaxed, at least there was hope for now, unlike just now, the monk who was completely Zhanger was confused.
At least we can determine the sea area where Penglai Immortal Island is located, even if we can't find it this time, there is always a chance to come a few more times.
Compared with Xu Fu's inexplicable luck entering Penglai Immortal Island back then, our technical content this time is a little higher, at least a region has been determined, and the probability is greater.
Li Ergou also relaxed, singing while driving the boat, and chatting with me when he was fine, and I also chatted with him.
The days on the sea are indeed too boring, except for the sea or the sea, it is refreshing to look at it occasionally, but after watching it for a long time, people will go crazy.
Especially on the endless water surface, sometimes if there is no wind and waves, it is as smooth as a mirror, and it is depressing to death.
Fortunately, Li Ergou and I can still chat, otherwise we would have to suffocate people to death.
The sky gradually darkened, I changed shifts with Li Ergou, this kid went to the lounge to sleep, I controlled the steering wheel to drive the boat, looking at the dark sea, my heart also sank.
If you can't find Penglai Xiandao on this trip, then you can only return to Huaxia or drive to the island country, according to Li Ergou, the oil of the cruise ship is not enough to support us on the ship!
Time passed minute by minute, and I didn't think about letting Li Ergou get up and change the guard, anyway, I didn't have anything to do for ten days and a half months.
The sea was still dark, and the sound of the waves and the wind was heard in the wheelhouse.
I stared at the surface of the sea, searching for any anomalies, but I still found nothing!
In ancient times, the strong people who built Penglai Immortal Island didn't know what kind of formation they made, it had been thousands of years, and they still hid Penglai Immortal Island so tightly that even modern satellites couldn't detect it.
The next day, the sun slowly rises over the sea level, rendering most of the ocean golden and sparkling.
I couldn't help yawning, looked at the fuel gauge, sailed for two days and two nights, and only one-third of the cruise ship's fuel was left, at this time, Li Ergou yawned and walked over from the lounge and glanced at the fuel gauge: "No, either go directly to the island country or go back to China." ”
"Do you want to stop looking?" I was a little unwilling, Li Ergou shook his head: "If we continue to wander around, we will have to throw away this cruise ship." ”
I frowned and looked at the vast sea, although it was determined that Penglai Xiandao might exist in the sea area, but in reality, it was still a big piece, and if I wanted to find it, it was not as easy as I thought!
Airplanes!
Suddenly, a cluster of golden light lit up from my pocket, and at the same time, a blazing heat diffused.
I snapped into pain, endured the burning pain, and looked horrified at the golden trouser pocket that contained the Ghoul Book, how did this thing react now?
"What's going on?" Li Ergou asked me blankly.
I shook my head, and was about to speak, when suddenly the "Ghoul Book" in my pocket flew out, and after hovering above the heads of Li Ergou and me for a week, it flew outside the cruise ship, like a small sun, with golden light flashing and flashing.
I looked at the "Ghoul Book", and suddenly a strange thought flashed through my mind: "Ergou, do you think the Ghoul Book is helping us show the way?" (To be continued.) )
