The rotation of the earth around the sun is not subject to anyone's will, and when the three ships are concentrated, it is just nightfall, and when they come to a suitable place to anchor, and anchor smoothly, it is already late at night.

There was no sound around except the sound of the waves, and the seafarers were already familiar with this environment, and after a tiring day, even if they were very excited, they also knew that they had to rest, and they would fall asleep quickly in such a turbulent and noisy environment compared to the land.

The night in the North Pacific Ocean is not so calm, if you choose to anchor on the sea, there will be waves, and it is quite not small, it seems to be a lot calmer in the harbor, extending on both sides, like two huge arms, blocking the current from both directions, and the harbor seems to be quiet and abnormal.

Because it is anchored, under the premise of not being sure whether there is danger on the shore, the lights are controlled, and on the outside, at least, more than a kilometer away from the ship, the lights on the ship cannot be seen at all, which is the protection of the ship, and the dark night will bring protective color to everything, which is the best way to hide.

In the control of the lighting of the colleagues, also arranged personnel guard. This is a must to prevent someone from taking advantage of the night to board the ship and cause unnecessary trouble.

Not every night is a time when you can't see your fingers, if you say, a moonlit night, the full moon is of course very good, the full moon night is quite bright, and the visibility is quite high. With the shrinking of the month, the visibility is reduced, but at the very least, there will be a certain amount of visibility, but part of the night, there is no visibility, and there can be no night without visibility, so there is no vigilance?

Of course, it is necessary to be vigilant, in order to ensure that in any case, there is an intensity of vigilance at night, and the navy is to use a combination of naked eyes and tools to carry out vigilance.

In addition to ordinary telescopes, there are other things, in Dinghai, there is also a special night vision equipment, a kind of night vision, night vision goggles to put it bluntly, it is a special coating, you can see infrared light.

It's just a normal coating that blocks out other light, just lets infrared light pass through, and then images, which is very simple, but it works very well.

Most of the objects that the eye sees do not emit light by themselves, but are colors produced by reflecting the sun's rays, and once it is night, when the light reflected by the sunlight and moonlight is not there, the whole night becomes black.

Black doesn't have a protective color, but when everything turns black, night becomes the best disguise.

In visible light, most of them can not be emitted by the light source, infrared light is not the same, most of the items with temperature, can emit infrared light, the higher the temperature, the stronger the infrared signal, this is the imaging principle of night vision goggles at night.

Determine the scientific and technological level of the navy, there is no way to make a photo that restores all the light images, which requires precision electronics, a restoration system, and a large amount of data support, but the simplest, can filter the infrared coating, and transform the infrared light into light acceptable to the eye, this is fine.

This kind of thing, in the next generation, basically, has little effect, at most it is just an infrared toy,

However, such a toy can do some simple probing to determine whether it is an animal, a person, or a person, and it is still okay, and there is no problem with using it for warning.

After settling in the guard and changing shifts, the top of the entire fleet gathered together, today's discovery is a huge discovery, they encountered a storm, which is a very bad thing in itself, but after such a deviation from the course, the discovery of such a large island is a surprise.

This may be what the ancients said, disaster is the blessing of the blessing, the blessing of the misfortune lurks, the change of the blessing and the blessing, it is really elusive.

But how to deal with it, how to ventilate the news, and make sure that they are the first to discover, this needs to be planned, and it can't be swarmed, which will not only not have an effect, but will be disorganized.

For the expedition team, the plan is the core, whether it is the beginning of the search, or the search, or the return, it is necessary to make a plan, these have been integrated into the bones, become a necessary thing, just now the captain has thought about it, and then after touching these middle and high-level people, the whole plan has been perfected.

The overall plan is very simple, first of all, on the ocean diary, record the location and time of the discovery, which cannot be used as a basis, but can become an important part, which proves that you have the basis for discovery.

The marine diary can be faked, and it is impossible to know when it was published, but a certain emphasis can also be formed by burying signs on the shore and fixing the location to draw a section of the chart.

Both of these are preparations, and the really most important place, which is the last, is to go back to report the news, and the time to report the news sooner or later, which is a crucial part.

These two can be carried out at the same time, although it is said that on this ocean, it is more dangerous for a single ship to travel, but at this moment, when there is a major discovery, it is always most appropriate to act separately.

Because according to calculations, this place is about 120 kilometers away from the exploration range of their previous camp, that is to say, except for this new 120 kilometers, the others are all relatively well-established and familiar roads.

In addition, in the North Pacific, there are not many storms, and it is already a coincidence to encounter one ship, three ships at different times, three days or four days, and then go back, if they encounter wind and waves at the same time and sink, it is definitely a small probability event.

You know, the ship that goes back to report the news, once the location is determined, there is still a lottery, even if there is only a bonus of 50 yuan per person, this is also an additional income, and it cannot be decided casually.

The captain's own ship must be left behind, and next, for the exploration of the entire island, he needs to lead, and the other two, in principle, are also assigned by him.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and under such a premise, the captain did not forcibly appoint, but chose a very simple method, drawing lots, which is the fairest method.

He casually took out two sticks, broke one of them, and then shook it in his hand and let them choose, the longer one went back, and the short one continued to explore here.

This is very fair, and it is face to face, the two sides made a humble concession, and chose the ship to go back, and the one who was chosen was very happy, and the one who was not selected, and there was not too much jealousy, after all, everyone, only 50 times, for seafarers, this is really a small amount of money.

In the Dinghai, the standard of wages has always been very high, and ordinary workers of the fifth or sixth level can get an average monthly income of more than 400 yuan, which is a worker in a peaceful environment.

The wages of seafarers are higher than those on land, and the type of skilled work is one aspect, and another reason is the danger of the sea.

Even in the 21st century, in an environment with satellites and radars, all kinds of technical means are quite terrifying, and ships have capsized, let alone in this era.

At the same time, the expedition seafarer, who is the best of them, as the crew of the clipper ship at the forefront of the entire exploration, in addition to the many rewards for finding the target, the rank and salary level are also quite high.

The most ordinary is also a monthly income of more than 1,500 yuan, not to mention a middle-level or even a member of the high-level.

The reward of 50 is just a fun, relatively speaking, the responsibility is even more important, if they don't shoulder the responsibility, they accidentally pass the news back to the base camp, everything they did in vain.

The whole meeting did not last long, it was a tiring day, and in addition to being in a completely unfamiliar or even completely unknown sea area, there was still the necessary vigilance.

It was very calm, and throughout the night, there was nothing at all, not only did no one come to sneak attack, but there was no storm or anything bad like that, and the next day, early in the morning, the ship started again, hung up the sails, regained its kinetic energy, and then, began to separate.

The ship that was drawn yesterday immediately returned, and they needed to send the location of the island, the charts, and some key things back to the forward base, and if they didn't go back together, it was just for safety and to prevent the storm, which was something that could not be resisted.

The remaining two ships, instead of separating and continuing their exploration on both sides, began to stop ashore.

The location of the shore is not in which harbor, but the place they chose before, not on the shore, but a little deeper, at least about 3 kilometers to the land.

It's been a long road, and it's a huge test for this group.

This group is only a temporary exploration team, not a real exploration team, and this huge island, God knows what it will be, whether there will be people, if it is the people who form a tribe, for them, it will be quite dangerous.

Thermal weapons are not omnipotent, even dozens of soldiers armed with modern weapons, entering the core of ancient warfare, they can survive, they are really lucky.

Now, when it comes to within three kilometers, this is the test for them, and now the clippers, whether in terms of their own combat effectiveness or personnel, are really not enough.

The clippers, to a certain extent, were a kind of high-speed ships, which possessed all the advantages of navigation, but were not good at warfare.

Even if the clipper appeared in the heyday of the sail warship, rather than in the later era, when it was replaced by ironclad and power ships, he could only be a side ship, and would not become a capital ship, for the simple reason that he was not born to exist for battle.

Dinghai's flying clippers have achieved the ultimate in civilian use, a flying clipping ship has been streamlined to a considerable extent, and the entire ship can be operated with a minimum of 15 people, and the number of people on the entire ship is 45 people, almost three times the lowest, even if there are some problems, it can be guaranteed.

This part of the people, driving the boat, exploring the sea, sailing at high speed, this is no problem, but when it comes to exploring on land, he can't do it.

The small number of people is a natural disadvantage, 45 people, and not all of them can be transferred, a part of the personnel must be left, and even to a certain extent, the support of clippers for the land is almost zero.

If it is said that the conventional clippers, for example, the kind that transported opium and tea in later generations, they were semi-armed, after all, the sea is vast, and there are many pirates, even if it is a clippers, they cannot all be in the open sea, and when they pass through some special straits, or key nodes on the ocean, there will be pirates.

For example, Malacca, this strait will play a crucial role in later generations, because it is very long, and there are many islands, the terrain is complex, and even in the 21st century, there are pirates, let alone the 18th and 19th centuries.

It was the end of the pirate era, but there were still many pirates alive, and some of them even committed great crimes.

In this era, I don't know if there are pirates, perhaps, in Southeast Asia, in the Arab region, there are pirates, but in the whole of China, there are no pirates, which causes the clippers to not have to consider the problem of pirates, and put all their strength on speed and exploration, so it has such a huge effect.

This kind of effect, in the previous time, when exploring, this kind of concentration to the extreme, is a huge benefit, but in terms of exploring the island, it is not very suitable.

If it is only an island found in the sea, a few square kilometers, dozens of square kilometers, this is no problem, as long as there are 5 professional soldiers, with 10 crew members with weapons, you can go to explore.

But not here, this is an island that is at least 10,000 square kilometers, and it is close to the Americas, will there be people, will there be many people, will there be people in the system?

These are three problems, but also three cores, if it is the first, then there is no problem, occasionally there are people in some villages, for 15 teams with thermal weapons and combat experience, against 10 times the number of personnel, or even 20 times the number of personnel, there is no problem, if you add fuel tactics, there is no problem in tens of thousands.

But what if a large crowd gathers around? Although there is no sign of a large number of people moving on the island, who can guarantee that there will be a large number of people in the dense forest, and it will be dangerous for these people to go up.

At this time, the captain was a little depressed, and he very much hoped that his sitting, not a flying clipper ship, but a Spanish warship, even the smallest Spanish battleship, also had 36 guns, all of which were large-caliber guns, and the smallest range was more than 7 kilometers.

With such artillery, 3 km into the shore, even if there are any problems, nothing will happen.

Now, under the feet is the clippers, which even go to the extreme, not even a single cannon, in this case, how to do it.
