Chapter 243, First Stop

On the vast sea, ten Daifuku ships swung out in a wild goose formation, cleaving the waves and constantly advancing towards the distance.

On the 'Taishan' at the beginning, Du Mingen is turning over the calendar, and it has been ten days since he left Tianjin Port, and at this time he has gone out of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and entered the scope of the East China Sea.

Because he had the experience of going to North Korea once, this journey went very smoothly, without any waves, the fresh water and food on the ship were very sufficient, and the crew was in very good condition, so Du Mingen planned not to dock on the North Korean side, and was ready to go directly to the Japanese side.

After stopping once on the side of the Wa Kingdom, replenishing food and fresh water, and then according to the navigation route and strategy provided by Liu Jin, go all the way to the north, and then cross the straits of the two continents in the afterworld, and then go east to reach the Golden Continent.

One of the advantages of such a route is that it is not too far away from the land, and in case of danger, they can anchor on this side of the land to get fresh water, and as for food, they can wear and carry enough food to eat for a long, long time.

In addition, this route also has the advantage that with the help of ocean currents, the speed can be faster when sailing, and there is a warm current known to everyone in later generations along the north of the Wa Kingdom, of course, it is now changed to the Wa Warm Current by Liu Jin.

Arriving at the northwestern part of the Golden Continent is also known as Alaska, and after arriving here, it is very safe to follow the west coast of the Golden Continent all the way south.

This route was rarely taken in later generations, because later generations would basically take a closer route, that is, the route from the Wa Kingdom to Hawaii, and then to the Americas in later generations, this route is much closer, many, and there can be a lot of distance left.

And if you keep going north, there will be a great danger, that is, the ice floe from the Arctic Ocean, once the ship hits the ice floe, it will be doomed, which is why Liu Jin chose to set off from the summer, in the summer, there is relatively less ice floe, and it is naturally safer.

"Mr. Du, it's time for lunch."

Just as Du Mingen was silently calculating the time, someone walked in and reminded.

"Hmm~"

Du Mingen nodded slightly, put down the calendar in his hand and went to the restaurant on the ship.

Lunch is very rich, there is a lot of seafood, although the food on the ship is sufficient, but on the sea route, no one knows what will happen, so in order to save food as much as possible, these boats have a small trawl at the back, while walking on the sea can also be trawled and fished, which allows the crew to have endless seafood every day.

For the way to eat seafood, they have long been accustomed to slicing and dipping sauce, which is also a special training content and project in the Maritime Academy.

The sea is not as good as the land, and it is also difficult to make a fire, although the ship has prepared a lot of honeycomb coal and wood, but in line with the principle of being able to grow, it is the most energy-saving and environmentally friendly to eat directly by slicing.

All kinds of seafood, except for those that must be cooked over fire, most of the seafood is sliced, and the crew are also very happy to eat, after getting used to eating raw, not only will there be no discomfort, but also can taste the most original delicious, but also the most nutritious way to eat.

In addition to seafood, there are porridge made of rice, noodles, and vegetables, which are soaked in water from dehydrated vegetables, and although they taste terrible, they are still sought-after.

Eating is very leisurely, the time on the sea is always very long, eating is also a way to pass the time, everyone is eating and chatting with each other, a meal is about half an hour.

After lunch, everyone can also have a cup of tea, the cup is a small cup made of bamboo, in order to prevent the sea from bumping and breaking, so porcelain and other things can basically not be used, are replaced by some other materials.

Tea is also for the crew to digest better, often eat sea fish if you don't eat vegetables, don't drink tea, the digestive system will become very poor, the digestive system is directly affecting the crew's physical health, so although fresh water is precious, but tea after the meal is essential.

After drinking tea, Du Mingen is used to walking around the ship, one is to take a walk after dinner and eliminate food, and the other is to ensure that the captain must always understand everything on the ship, clearly know the situation of the crew, and be able to respond in time once there is a crisis.

The condition is very good, everything on board is very good, and the crew is in very good condition, not even anyone with a cold or cough.

Coming to the stern, Du Mingen looked at the other nine ships that followed, the sails were blown by the wind, and the crew members on board were all leisurely walking on the deck, or playing with each other, passing the boring time.

Looking to the west, Du Mingen tried to see something, but on this vast sea, no matter which direction it looked at, it was the same as the boundless sea, between the water and the sky, as if he could touch the clouds in the sky, and it seemed to be a long road to the sky.

As the sun sets, the western sky is dyed red, and the reflection of the sea is as beautiful as a raging fire.

However, for everyone who has been going to sea for a long time, everyone has long been tired of watching it, and there is no sense of freshness.

When night falls, the stars twinkle and the moon shines in the sky.

Du Mingen took out the sextant, and soon found the North Star in the sky, and then used the sextant to measure, record the measured data, and then start calculating against the chart.

"We've reached the south of North Korea, and we should be able to get to Muma Island tomorrow."

Holding a pencil, Du Mingen drew a circle on the location of Muma Island.

Early the next morning, Du Mingen's flagship used flags to convey the message to the other ships that they would go to Muma Island, and according to the itinerary, Du Mingen's fleet would anchor on this side of Muma Island for a few days.

During this process, the fleet will make a replenishment of fresh water, food, medicine and other supplies, and of course, more importantly, the crew can get on land and rest on land for a few days to recover to the best condition.

In the afternoon, Du Mingen had already seen the chirping of seagulls near the fleet, and from time to time there were flocks of seagulls resting on the ship's masts and sails, and Du Mingen knew that the fleet was very close to Muma Island.

"Captain, land has been found right ahead~"

Sure enough, the crew member in charge of lookout on the mast quickly reported to Du Mingen's side, and Du Mingen also quickly took out his telescope and looked in the direction ahead, and sure enough, he saw a piece of land.

"Haha, it's finally time to Muma Island, pass the order, let's go to Muma Island and rest for a few days."

Du Mingen immediately laughed happily, and immediately announced the good news to everyone, and at the same time, the sailors in charge of the flag immediately conveyed Du Mingen's order to the other ships.

"I've finally arrived at Muma Island, so I can have a good rest."

"I hope there is Yihong Courtyard or something on the island, and then we can go together to vent and vent together."

"Haha, why is your kid full of these things, can you have some interest?"

"I'm not a flesh and blood~"

When the crew heard this, they immediately laughed happily, this first stop on the Golden Continent has finally arrived.

Du Mingen also smiled when he heard the crew's discussion, this group of big men naturally inevitably had some meat words, and he also maintained a tacit attitude towards this.

When night was about to fall, the fleet finally arrived on the side of Muma Island, and the arrival of ten Daifuku ships also frightened the Koreans on Muma Island.

At first, I thought it was a pirate, but after Du Mingen and others reported their share, they let down their guard and entertained them.

Although Muma Island is not large, the population is not large, in this era it is a place for exiled prisoners, but after all, it is also a large island, all kinds of materials are available, and even the places that the crew is most looking forward to are there, although the scale is small, the girl is also very ordinary.

But for the crew members who have been suffocated, these are no longer important, and a lot of money is thrown down, and the North Koreans on the entire Muma Island have become extremely hospitable and hospitable.

The fleet rested on Muma Island for three days, and after three days of recuperation, the crew's condition returned to its peak again, and continued to sail towards the second station, Wakoku.

"It seems that every place I go in the future will have to let the boys vent well."

Du Mingen looked at the mental state of the crew, and the whole person couldn't help laughing, the red mansion on Muma Island really made money this time, and it was almost contracted by the crew for three days, and thousands of big men actually made the girls in the red mansion have back pain.
