Chapter 117: Continent? Peninsula? Big Island?
[Alas, I took the time to read (Paradise of Gods and Demons) for a while, and now I give up the book, I can't read it, and there are fewer and fewer Sues who are suitable for me to read, so I can only write it myself, come on the code word, and the book will be on the shelves on the first of next month at the latest]
The small island in the distance is very small, and in the field of view of the telescope, you can see that there are plants growing on the small island, but from a distance, this small island is probably less than one-fifth the size of Yunyong Island, and such a small island is not suitable for development at all, nor is it suitable for too many people to live.
Discovering such a small island disappointed not only Yunyong, but also the rest of the ship's crew, because the low-hanging bounty had turned into a fog and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Wang Ertao at the observatory was so excited that he trembled and said a word, which immediately attracted countless eyes.
"Oh my God! I see the mainland! Just behind the island ahead. ”
After seeing that the island was very small, the first fleet did not return sailing, but continued to move towards the island, it had gone so far, and it was not bad for the rest of the distance, the lookouts on the lookout of the Linjia steamship were disappointed and gave up looking at the island, but Wang Ertao kept staring at the direction of the island with a telescope, and at a chance glance, Wang Ertao accidentally found that a long black shadow appeared behind the island, isn't that the coastline?
"Mainland? What continent? This was the first reaction of the people on the Linjia steamship when they heard Wang Ertao's words, and the next moment everyone understood the meaning of "mainland", and everyone did not remember to be happy, but asked in a chaotic manner: "Where is the mainland?" Where is the continent? ”
"I saw it, I saw it, it's really a continent, as far as the eye can see." The other lookouts on the lookout raised their monoculars and looked farther ahead, although their eyesight was not as good as Wang Ertao's, but as the ship moved forward and the fog dissipated, they also saw what Wang Ertao saw.
Surprise! Agitated! Tears of joy!
Various expressions appeared on the lookout's face, but Wang Ertao's reaction was slightly better than the others, but he was also full of excitement.
The lookouts were sure that the discovery of the continent was the real discovery of the continent, and the other crew members were ecstatic, the reward for discovering a continent would definitely be much more than the reward for discovering an island, and the Yun clan would definitely not treat them badly.
Even Yun Qi, who had been staying in the cabin to cultivate, walked out with a surprised face after hearing the sound outside, and Yun Qi also knew what it meant to the Yun clan to discover a continent.
Yun Yong, who was standing under the lookout, did not show other expressions, and then Yun Yong also took out his binoculars and looked into the distance, but he only saw an island in his field of vision, and did not see the mainland, Yun Yong did not show disappointment, and turned around directly to climb the lookout, standing on a higher lookout, Yun Yong finally saw the endless coastline in the distance.
The steady Yun Yong also showed an excited face at this moment, you must know that there is likely to be a continent ahead, a continent that belongs to the Yun clan, can Yun Yong not be excited? That means that the Yun clan finally does not have to be limited to Yunhua County and slowly develops, and a more brilliant future awaits the Yun clan.
Yun Yong couldn't wait to land on that unknown continent now, but he was excited, Yun Yong quickly regained his composure, and let the fleet maintain the current speed and sail towards the unknown continent, Yun Yong knew that the closer to the mainland, the more reefs would be, Yun Yong didn't want to land on the mainland yet, and there were ships in the fleet that hit the rocks.
The crews of the three ships of the First Fleet were excitedly attentive to their duties, and the more times such arose, the more careful they had to be, and it would have been tragic not to die before they had left their careers, for as time went on the fleet, which had become closer and closer to the island which had been first discovered, and to the so-called continent.
Although the coastline of the "continent" seems to be endless, people's vision is limited, and Yunyong is not sure if it is really a continent in front of him.
Yun Yi once wrote a book called "Navigation Guide", which recorded some knowledge related to the sea in Yun Yi's memory, and Yun Yong and even other captains and deputy captains of Yun's shipyard were familiar with "Navigation Guide".
There are some terms in the "Navigation Guide", islands, reefs, reefs, peninsulas, continents, etc.
It is unknown whether it is a continent ahead, it may be a large island, or it may be a peninsula, the peninsula is connected to a continent, whether it is a continent or an island, it is a very good result for the Yun clan.
It is the best of a vast continent, but the probability of a dangerous situation is greater, who knows if there are other civilizations and countries on the continent, maybe with the strength of the Yun Clan, they will not be able to conquer them, or even occupy a territory.
It's an island, but from the current point of view, the area of this island is very large, if it is not an island with a long and narrow terrain, then its area is likely to exceed the area of Yunhua County, enough for the Yun clan to let go of their hands and feet to develop, and even if there are human beings living on such an island, it is more likely that the Yun clan can conquer them.
No matter which result it is in the end, it is a very good ending, the Yun clan finally does not have to be limited to the barren land in Yunhua County, in Yunhua County, Yun Yi can't carry out reform and development in a big way, and the Yun clan can't confront the entire Dali Empire.
Halfway through the morning, the first fleet sailed to the island, and according to Yun Yong's instructions, the cartographers on the Linjia steamship drew the island on the nautical chart and marked it "Miracle Island".
"Miracle Island" is the name of Yun Yong, as the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet, Yun Yong has the power to name any island discovered by the fleet.
The name "Miracle Island" is truly true, and if the fleet did not continue sailing this way after discovering that Miracle Island was only a small island, it would be impossible to discover the "mainland" behind Miracle Island.
What will the scene look like on the "continent"? Will there be humans (nations) on the "continent"? Is the land on the "continent" rich? Is the "continent" full of wealth?
All kinds of ideas appeared in the hearts of the crew, when they found out that Yunyong Island would not let them have so many ideas, after all, Yunyong Island is too small, and it is impossible for human beings to live at a glance, but the "continent" in front of them is too big, the coastline is endless, and there will be infinite possibilities on such a "continent".
The "continent" is near, choose a suitable place to land, and an unknown world is waiting for Yunyong to explore.
