Chapter 323: Drift Bay (I)

The currents are broken up by the underwater reefs of the Devil's Passage, creating turbulence beneath the surface of the ocean, which is not small in energy, so that when the navigation technology is not developed, these turbulences will wash the sailboats onto the reef, and with the help of waves and storms, those wooden sailboats will be smashed to pieces, and then carried elsewhere by the undercurrent.

Chen Badai noticed that there were several migratory areas in the Devil's Channel, where the turbulence slowed down and eased and dissipated by the huge reefs, which were like the wide and gentle bends in the river, which were natural buffer zones for the current.

In rivers, what is washed down by the flood upstream can often be found in the downstream bays, and those shipwrecked in the Devil's Passage will certainly be carried into the bays by turbulence as long as they are not carried by the currents......

Chen Badai became excited, Clark had been so close to success, but he had spent too much time and money elsewhere, he carefully checked Clark's information, Clark had tried to explore the bay marked T3, T7 and G4, and indeed found some sunken gujunks there, but did not catch much of value, and finally the funds ran out, Clark had to withdraw his troops, and on the way back, poor Clark ran out of the last dime and had to declare bankruptcy at sea......

Chen Badai used Clark's hydrological and submarine topography data to mark the migratory bays in the Devil's Passage on the chart, and he believed that if the Poseidon really sank in the Devil's Channel, the turbulence would wash it up to one of these migratory bays, Chen Badai carefully marked out these migratory bays, and compared them with Clark's data, he found that Clark marked a total of 13 migratory bays, starting with T, G, F, and D, but Clark obviously missed two.

In the dark, Chen Badai felt that he was about to approach the Poseidon, and the two migratory bays were located just east of the Devil's Passage, the edge of the Devil's Passage, which was why Clark ignored them back then.

2 choose 1, this is a problem, Chen Badai roughly measured the area of the two migratory bays, it is not a small project to detect, Chen Badai marked the two migratory bays on the chart as E1 and E2.

After a whole day of various data calculations, Chen Badai was dizzy, looked at the time, and it was already evening, and he decided to go to the deck to breathe.

As soon as Chen Badai stepped onto the deck, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a bright star hanging in the middle of the gradually dimming sky, like a cold eye, silently watching Chen Badai.

Chen Badai found a place to sit down, half leaning on the edge of the railing, half tilting his head, looking at the comet.

The comet's movement and the direction of the Earth's rotation lead to the direction of the Earth's rotation, making it appear as if it is not moving in the air, when in fact it is slowly moving eastward.

Chen Badai suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly ran back to the cabin, found some ropes, pulled the third mate and a few crew members, and asked them to pull the ropes into a net, Chen Badai lay under the rope net, holding a drawing pen in his hand, writing and drawing on the rope net and a piece of paper.

"What is he doing here?" The first mate saw Chen Badai commanding people and pulled out a rope net on the deck of the ship, which was inexplicable.

"The devil knows."

Chen Badai is using a stupid method to measure the trajectory of the comet, he marked each square on the rope net with a code, through the square, the starry sky in the whole sky is divided into 81 squares, Chen Badai every half an hour, on the paper to record the position of the starry sky and the comet on the grid, if Chen Badai is not mistaken, the comet will coincide with the constellation Lyra in a certain period of time.

Chen Badai vaguely remembered that he had been in a dream, dreaming of an ancient checkered window lattice, looking out of the lattice of the window, he could clearly see Vega and Cowherd, just on both sides of the lattice window lattice, and one eye, in the square where Vega was located, quietly looking into the room.

I don't know why, Chen Badai felt that the eye was like the eye of God, everything was in his gaze, and the comet that appeared at this time made Chen Badai feel that it was the eye of God, quietly looking down on everything on the sea.

The comet seemed to know what Chen Badai was thinking, it slowly shifted its center in the canopy, moving closer to Vega in the constellation Lyra, and when midnight was about to come, Chen Badai felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, it was it! That's it! As Chen Badai guessed, it approached Vega, although it was slow, it couldn't resist!

Chen Badai had just used his excited hand to map the latest checkered starry sky map, when the satellite phone in his pocket rang, and Chen Badai answered the phone: "Dick, I think I have good news for you." ”

"Chen Badai, I'm Mr. Min." It was Mr. Min's voice on the phone.

"Oh, Mr. Min, I heard you're coming?" Chen Badai was cold and said.

"Yes, it's already on the way, I could have joined you sooner, but two storms in a row ......," Mr. Min wanted to explain.

"It's a good thing you didn't come, those two storms almost killed you." There was a hint of sarcasm in Chen Badai's words.

"Dick wants to know, did you find the Poseidon?" Mr. Min pulled the topic away.

"Come on, I'm looking at the comet in the sky, and I think it's going to give us a hint." Chen Badai said, "I calculated the Devil's Passage of the Channel, and there are two Missiles to the east that Clark ignored, and I think the Poseidon is one of those two Bays. Chen Badai said, "Either they were washed into the Atlantic Ocean and never found them." ”

"In the legend of Loulan, the comet is a good omen." Mr. Min said excitedly: "Our efforts have finally paid off!" ”

It seemed a little too early to talk about the return, but Chen Badai didn't want to spoil Mr. Min's interest, and asked, "When will you arrive?" I'll give you the information on the route of the Devil's Passage first. ”

"Arrive by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest, well, Tchaikov is also here, and he is running ahead of me." Mr. Min thought about it and felt that it was better to remind Chen Badai.

"Tchaikov? That hairy polar bear? Chen Badai raised his eyebrows, "What is he doing here?" ”

"The scepter is a one-of-a-kind treasure that, of course, will interest Tchaikov."

"Ha, a stick, even come all the way to grab it!" Chen Badai expressed his opinion.

"I'm just in charge of helping you find this stick called the scepter, Mr. Min, and I'm in business, and I think we'll have to make that clear first." Chen Badai said.

"That's right, Chen Badai, we will definitely not treat you badly." Mr. Min replied curtly.

"Ha, then today is the time for the second commission payment, please ask Mr. Min to do it." Chen Badai said happily, Mr. Min really got into the trap.

Mr. Min was right, as long as Chen Badai was willing to give a good price, he was very easy to buy, thinking that Chen Badai had been going around for a long time, it was just for the second commission, Mr. Min smiled, this is the reason why Wang Xingguo admires him even more, he will not be bought by money.

"No problem, I'll let someone do it in a moment." Mr. Min thinks that money can solve the problem, and that is not a problem.

"Okay, I'll have to calculate some data, so let's do it first." Chen Badai was ready to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, what do you think about Tchaikov's affairs?" Mr. Min always felt that Tchaikov would be a big annoyance.

"There's nothing to worry about that polar bear, I'm worried about someone else." Chen Badai said.

"Who?!"

"Wang Xingguo and his little lover! If you guessed correctly, there is also his brother-in-law! Chen Badai mentioned these names and gritted his teeth.

"Huh? But I didn't see them. Mr. Min thought back carefully and did not see any of them on the drilling platform.

"Don't worry, they'll show up." Chen Badai said firmly.

"Are you sure? How would you know. Mr. Min was skeptical.

"Of course I know......" Chen Badai pretended to be mysterious, hung up the phone, and left Mr. Min time and space to go freely.

Chen Badai lay down under the rope net again, looking at the slow-moving comets and Vega in the sky. The brain is running at high speed: the Devil's Passage is about 130 nautical miles directly north of the Faroe Islands, with an area of about 3,000 square kilometers, and the entire underwater reef area is an irregular octagonal shape, through which the ocean currents pass, from a geological point of view, this reef is the same as the Faroe Islands, in ancient times it is the remnant of the same ancient mountain range, and the geological movement has lifted the sea level and flooded this ancient mountain range, if there is no such reef, ships going south from the north can follow the current south, With the fastest and most convenient route to the Faroe Islands, and the dotted reefs on the ocean can also become a good sea beacon, according to the information mastered by Chen Badai, the ancient sailing ships will use the reef abruptly out of the sea as a navigation beacon to sail around, but do not dare to enter the channel easily, unless they risk death or are blown here by the storm.

The newly discovered E1 and E2 bays are located on the southwest-northeast-trending edge of the octagonal shape about 12 nautical miles apart, E1 in the northeast and about 5 nautical miles from the reef edge, and E2 in the southwest corner about 2 nautical miles from the reef edge. Further east, the deep sea of the Atlantic Ocean is reached.

"Go to Vega! Advance! Chen Badai's mind suddenly sounded the roar of the first mate of the Poseidon in his dream! Chen Badai knocked on his head, the murmuring in his head has just decreased in the past two days, is it going to start again now?

"Onward! ...... towards Wei Jia, "Chen Badai was about to knock his head out, the voice was still echoing in his head, Chen Badai raised his head, and suddenly found that the comet had moved to the vicinity of the constellation Lyra, and was in the same square as Vega.
