Xiong Yu looked at the few small words on the ring, and his heart moved, wasn't the second year of Xuantong 1910?

It was one of the most chaotic years in China, the last year of the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the eve of World War I.

It's just that how could this ring engraved with Chinese characters appear in the mouth of a fish?

Xiong Yu was puzzled in his heart, only relying on a ring but couldn't learn more information, thought for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, this ring should just accidentally fell into the sea and was eaten by a fish." ”

Xiong Yu carefully put away the ring, stopped thinking about it, and continued to fish with Bao Sanjin.

About another hour passed.

Xiong Yu looked at the watch on his phone, raised his head and glanced at Sun Moon Island, a different color flashed in his eyes, and he said: "It seems a little wrong, judging by the previous plan, isn't it still an hour to reach Sun Moon Island?" ”

Bao Sanjin hadn't noticed the abnormality yet, and said casually: "Yes, it should be almost there, what's wrong?" ”

Xiong Yu's face changed slightly, and he said, "Now an hour has passed. ”

Bao Sanjin also looked at the time with a puzzled face, and then glanced at the reverse of Sun Moon Island, and said in surprise: "Hey, why do I feel that the distance of Sun Moon Island is still so far, is the captain driving in the wrong direction, I'll ask." ”

"Captain, Captain, where are you now, why haven't you arrived yet?" Bao Sanjin shouted into the walkie-talkie.

There was silence on the intercom for a while, and then a slightly panicked voice appeared, saying: "There is something abnormal in this sea area, I have been driving in the direction of Sun Moon Island, but I have never arrived, it seems that I am going in circles in place." ”

Bao Sanjin's face changed, and he immediately remembered the information he saw about this sea area when he came here, and he shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the navigation system on the ship?" ”

The captain replied: "The positioning and navigation systems have all failed, and now they can only be judged by the naked eye." ”

Bao Sanjin said in a deep voice: "Have you ever encountered this situation at sea before?" ”

The captain replied: "I have never encountered such a situation, but I have a friend who met him once, and then he escaped after nine deaths, and I have not asked too much about his specific situation, and I do not know how he came out in the end." ”

Bao Sanjin was silent, glanced at Xiong Yu, sighed and said, "Maybe something really happened." ”

Xiong Yu took a deep breath, looked at the endless sea, and suddenly said, "The outline of the island we saw, could it be just a mirage?" ”

Bao Sanjin was stunned for a moment and said, "Mirage? It's impossible, before our positioning system failed, it showed that we were around Sun Moon Island. ”

Xiong Yu was also puzzled, looking at the sea, in addition to the endless sea around, it was the outline of Sun Moon Island in front, plus the previous navigation and positioning, it really didn't look like a mirage.

But what else could it be if it wasn't a mirage?

Xiong Yu thought for a while, and said to Bao Sanjin: "Let's go, let's go to the wheelhouse of the ship to have a look." ”

Bao Sanjin nodded, got up, threw the fishing rod aside, and walked towards the wheelhouse of the boat with Xiong Yu.

In the wheelhouse, a captain in his forties with a thick beard was nervously staring at the various instruments in the cabin, and when he saw Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjin coming in, he also said hello to the two of them.

Xiong Yu walked into the wheelhouse and said directly to the captain: "Before I came here, I carefully read the map, and Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast of our current location." ”

The captain glanced at Xiong Yu with some surprise and said, "You're right, in my experience, the island should also be in our northeast. ”

Xiong Yu asked, "Can you still discern the direction?" ”

The captain shook his head: "On the sea, there is no reference at all, and it is impossible to discern the direction at all, but now we can see the outline of the island, and we have been driving towards this outline, so there should be no mistake." ”

Xiong Yu frowned, and said with some uncertainty: "Is the outline we see real?" I'm a doctor, and I've done some research on the human eye, and if we are in a place where there is no reference for a long time, our eyes are likely to deceive us and produce some biased hallucinations. ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, when I first learned to drive a boat, an old captain also said so, but for so many years, we are used to using electronic navigation, and we have forgotten about these." ”

Through the window glass in the cab, Xiong Yu looked towards the blurred outline of Sun Moon Island, and after a long time, he spoke again: "The electronic navigation system is out of order, why don't you use a compass to try it and find the direction." ”

The captain was stunned for a moment and said, "It's all electronic navigation now, who still brings that old thing." ”

Xiong Yu smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have it." ”

Xiong Yu said as he walked to the room where his luggage was stored, and found a compass bought from the black market from the mess he had brought.

Nowadays, many seagoing ships have modern navigation equipment and advanced satellite positioning, and they have basically given up the compass.

The compass was placed in the cab, and after shaking, a direction was assigned.

As soon as the captain looked at the designated direction, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "We are going in the wrong direction. ”

Xiong Yu was also a little surprised, it was just a guess before, but now according to the direction specified by the compass, they have now deviated from the direction of driving towards Sun Moon Island.

Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast direction, but the direction of their ship is in the northwest direction.

The captain thought of another question and said, "If we are traveling in the northwest direction and the Sun Moon Island is in the northeast direction, then why is the Sun Moon Island in the northwest direction that we see with our eyes?" ”

Xiong Yu thought for a moment, put forward a conjecture, and said: "Our eyes may be deceiving us, now that the weather is so good, there is no wind, and the water vapor on the sea surface is also large, it is likely that the calm sea surface is like a mirror, reflecting the Sun Moon Island, and through the action of water vapor and sunlight, the outline of Sun Moon Island is presented in the northwest direction." ”

The captain is also a perennial sailor on the sea, hearing Xiong Yu say this, he immediately nodded and said: "It is very likely that in some special areas on the sea, it is not surprising that such a scene is formed, the master who used to take me often said such things to me, but I didn't care, after all, it is all electronic navigation now, and it is rare to get lost." ”

Xiong Yu said: "If this is the case, can you adjust the direction and follow the correct direction guided by the compass?" ”

The captain confidently said: "Now that the direction has been found, follow the correct direction, refer to the map, and correct the direction, we will be able to reach the place in about an hour and a half." ”

Hearing the captain say this, Xiong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn't travel on the ship often, and he didn't have much experience in this area, so he could only make some judgments about this kind of thing based on guessing.

Bao Sanjin was a little confused when he heard it, he didn't understand it at all, but after seeing that Xiong Yu and the captain finally came up with a solution, his frowning brows also relaxed.

Bao Sanjin breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "We will not come to this kind of place in the future, this vast sea, if you really get lost, it will really be over." ”

The big boat drove again, and this time Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjin were not in the mood to go fishing again, but they both stayed in the cabin and watched the captain drive the boat.

After about half an hour, the originally clear sky darkened and became cloudy.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of mist began to rise on the surface of the sea, and this mist appeared very quickly, and in just ten minutes, the entire sea was already white, and nothing could be seen clearly.

It was also at this time that the plane that took off from Western countries and temporarily changed course also flew into this sea area.

At the same time, the big ship of the Wadden family is also in trouble.
