In the vast waters of the North Pacific, ten Daifuku ships are drifting north with the currents.

On the 'Taishan', Du Mingen was wearing a thick cotton coat and holding a telescope in his hand to look at the sea in front of him.

As the fleet continued north, the temperature became colder and colder, and it was only August, and everyone in the fleet had to wear thick cotton clothes to withstand the cold temperatures.

The low temperature has a great impact on the fleet, the ship is too small to carry limited things, except for cotton clothes, there are few things for heating, and there is no way to make a fire to keep warm, so that we have to minimize the activities on the deck, stay in the cabin as much as possible, and gather together to keep warm.

The low temperature is not the biggest difficulty in front of us, the ice floes floating on the sea surface are the things that the fleet wants to pay attention to the most now, the ice floes, don't look at it is inconspicuous, but it is definitely the most feared by the ships, even if the big ships of later generations are loaded with ice floes, it is also more auspicious.

A lot of ice floes may only be a little bit out of the water, but they are so large and massive underwater that they pose a deadly threat to ships.

Regarding this point, Liu Jin has repeatedly emphasized it in the classroom of Tianjin Maritime College, so since he saw the first piece of ice floe, the fleet has been sending people to stare at the sea area in front of him day and night, and once the ice floe is avoided, it will be avoided early.

"It has been 80 days since we left Tianjin, and the last time we resupplied was in Hokkaido, the northernmost part of the Japanese Kingdom, and the current position should be almost to the northernmost point of the Pacific Ocean, according to calculations, in another fifteen days or so, continue to move northeast along the ocean current, and we should be able to reach the westernmost part of the Golden Continent."

"Now the food and fresh water on the ship are very abundant, and the food is mainly all kinds of fish in the ocean, and the fish resources here are surprisingly rich, far beyond imagination, and the fish caught in a net are enough to eat for a long time."

"The reserves of fresh water are also very sufficient, and there are always some large and small islands along the way, and every time we try to land in these areas as much as possible to replenish food and fresh water, and take some rest along the way."

"The further north you go, the more sparsely populated it becomes, and after passing through Hokkaido, we don't find any more people, and it's so cold that it's hard to imagine how cold it will be in winter."

"The crew is in good shape, thanks to the many secrets taught by Liu Jin, and bean sprouts, tea, and dehydrated vegetables are the most popular things on the ship right now."

"But for the sake of returning, I had to order to use these things as little as possible, the sea is vast, and no one knows what will happen next, so I have to think so."

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Du Mingen habitually took out his diary and began to write a diary, and next to his desk, a thick diary was already written.

"This trip to the Golden Continent made me truly realize how big the world we live in is, and how small we are."

"The world outside of the Ming Dynasty is very, very big, according to the content on the globe, the distance I have traveled now is simply insignificant, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I must lead a fleet on a journey around the world."

While writing a diary, Du Mingen also looked at the globe on the side, this globe was also made by Liu Jin with a golden finger, and there was not much difference from the globe of later generations.

Du Mingen and the others know their location very clearly, which is why his fleet has sailed without any problems until now.

It's so well prepared!

In order to ensure that the fleet can arrive at the Golden Continent smoothly and come back smoothly, Liu Jin is also very troubled for this, and has come up with various methods, and even exchanged his golden finger for an accurate globe.

Afraid that the crew would get sepsis because they did not supplement vitamins, Liu Jin prepared a large number of dehydrated vegetables, soybeans, canned fruits, tea for the crew, and even planted onions, ginger and garlic in potted plants on the ship, which was enough to ensure the needs of the crew to supplement vitamins.

In order to be afraid that the crew would not have fresh water to drink, Liu Jin even developed a distiller, which can obtain fresh water by heating seawater and cooling water vapor, which is definitely a life-saving artifact at a critical moment.

Afraid of getting lost in the sea, he made a precise area, a full set of navigation strategies, a variety of advanced navigation instruments, and a long time of training and training for the crew in advance.

It can be said that the preparation has been done to the extreme.

Liu Jin's preparation obviously played a role, sailing on the sea for nearly three months, the fleet led by Du Mingen has not suffered any losses until now, the ten ships are all intact, and the crew on board is also intact, and there are few illnesses.

And because of the long-term meat diet and lack of exercise, the crew members have become fat one by one, and they sighed, where is this to go on an adventure at sea, it is simply to go on vacation.

Tian Erniu is the captain of the 'Kunlun', and at this time he is using a sextant to observe the sun in the sky, then calculate the position of the fleet, and then calculate the distance and time to reach the Golden Continent.

"Whew~ It's too cold, it's too cold."

The monkey walked in and rubbed his hands together, the temperature outside was so cold that he just went out to relieve himself, and hoarfrost froze on his eyebrows.

"Erniu, how long will it take for us to reach the Golden Continent, it's too boring."

The monkey came to Tian Erniu's side and looked at Tian Erniu and asked as he gestured to the map.

"We will be able to reach the westernmost part of the Golden Continent in about half a month, but if we want to actually disembark from the ship, I estimate that it will take at least about two months to wait."

"The further north we go, the cooler it gets, and even lower by the time we reach the westernmost edge of the Golden Continent."

Tian Erniu put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile.

"I'll have to wait two months~"

When the monkey heard this, he immediately froze, pouted and said: "I thought that going to the Golden Continent would be a matter of life and death, and I would have to go through all kinds of hardships and obstacles. ”

The monkey pinched the fat around his waist, he never dreamed that he would gain weight one day.

"You're getting fat, but I'm getting thin."

At this time, the stupid bear came over and said, because Du Mingen ordered to control the use of dehydrated vegetables, tea, etc., the stupid bear, who has always had a great appetite, actually had a sharp decrease in the amount of food, and the whole person began to lose weight.

I really can't eat it, I eat meat every day, and it is mainly based on all kinds of sea fish and meat, and if there are not enough grains and vegetables to neutralize it, everyone will get tired of eating and vomiting.

"Haha~"

When Tian Erniu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

To be honest, Tian Erniu didn't expect that this trip to the Golden Continent would be so easy, and when he set off, he was ready to never come back.

The sea is rough, and the Golden Continent is thousands of miles away, and it is very dangerous, but who knows that after really sailing in this sea, the most uncomfortable thing for everyone is boredom.

The days on the ship were just too boring.

The boat is so big, the space for activities is very limited, and there are few entertainment items, everyone has gone crazy, and many times they are bored to quarrel with each other to pass the time, vent, vent their inner emotions.

"Come, come, play the dice~Play the dice~"

I don't know who roared, and suddenly the crew of the ship came to their senses, crowded together, and began to gather together to shout, gambling is also the most popular choice for everyone to pass the boring time.
