Chapter 116: Disappointing Exploration?!

[On the question of whether the protagonist wants a child, well, the background of this book is similar to ancient China, but not absolutely, and the protagonist is a congenital martial artist, for a congenital martial artist, it is normal to have children in thirty or forty, for the protagonist's subordinates, congenital can be more important than children, you must know that under a congenital leadership, it is more likely to break into a great career. 】

Time passed in a flash, on May 18, on the wharf of Wanghai Town, the six steamers under the jurisdiction of Yun's shipyard were ready to go, and the "Linjia" steamer, which was larger than the surrounding steamers, attracted most of the attention on the wharf.

In the meeting on the afternoon of May 15, after some discussion, Yun Yong finally made a decision that the first fleet's sea exploration plan was set as the area described in Wang Ertao's words, and if nothing was found in the area, the first fleet would continue to carry out the first sea exploration plan of the Yun fleet, and the remaining part of the exploration would be completed.

Compared with exploring an unknown area, Yun Yong, Lin Zhen, and Wang Jinwen are more willing to explore areas with some clues, and this has a greater success rate.

Wang Ertao felt that there was something in that direction, maybe there was really something there, and it was more likely to find an island or land, Wang Ertao had a talent in this area, after all, Wang Ertao was a person who discovered Yunyong Island, and no one else discovered Yunyong Island, but Wang Ertao found it, which can be seen.

Therefore, the final result of the meeting was to explore the area mentioned by Wang Ertao first, and because of this incident, Wang Ertao was supposed to serve on the "Tanhai" steamship, but now he is serving on the "Linjia" steamship that all the crew members dream of.

In private, Lin Zhen also said to Wang Ertao that once the area Wang Ertao said was really discovered again, even if it was just a harvest similar to that of Yunyong Island, the Yun Clan Shipmaster would make great efforts to cultivate Wang Ertao, and the day when Wang Ertao would become the captain was just around the corner.

However, if there is nothing to be found in the area mentioned by Wang Ertao, then Wang Ertao's best outcome is to return to the "Tanhai" steamship, and it will take at least five years to become a captain.

The amount of money spent on a failed exploration is not a small amount, at least more than 1,000 gold, which is equivalent to the living needs of 500 ordinary families for a year.

Wang Ertao also understood something in his heart, there was panic and anxiety, but soon Wang Ertao calmed down, it was already like this, Wang Ertao only believed in his own eyes and feelings, as long as he succeeded, Wang Ertao's front was a road to the sky, which was unimaginable for Wang Ertao, who was born in poverty.

For this exploration plan, Yunyong made more preparations.

When exploring the ocean for the first time, although they discovered Unyong Island, the fleet only circled Unyong Island for a week, and did not go to the island to explore, which was due to insufficient preparation.

This time, the first fleet carried a team of ordinary sergeants, a team of the Shenji battalion, and eighteen martial artists from the second to fourth ranks, and the most important thing was that the first fleet also had Yun Qi from the innate realm in charge, if the island or mainland was really found, it would be enough to deal with most situations.

When the time came, in the farewell sound on the dock, the first fleet and the second fleet under the Yun Ship Administration officially set sail.

With the experience of the Yun fleet sailing safely on the sea many times, the people of Wanghai Town have undergone earth-shaking changes in their feelings about the sea, the sea is no longer a taboo place, just like a flat land, they can come and go as they want, and the people who see off their relatives will no longer cry for life and death.

On the sea, the first fleet is in front and the second fleet is behind, the two fleets are separated by a distance, and the three ships in the fleet are all in a zigzag formation.

Today's weather is good, the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, it is not summer, the weather is not so hot, but the wind and waves on the sea are a little bigger, one by one the waves are beating towards the fleet, the steamer in progress is shaken by the waves, fortunately the ship is steam-powered, and there is no sail, you can sail in the sea.

It would be dangerous to replace the ship with one of those sail-powered ships, and if the ship were smaller, perhaps a wave could overturn the ship and destroy the ship.

And now, the crews of the six steamers were talking and laughing, and they were oblivious to the waves, which they had encountered a lot, and such conditions were already very good compared to storms.

Because of the headwind, the two fleets arrived at the Yunyongdao wharf in the afternoon of the next day, which had been expanded to accommodate only one Tanzi-class ship at the beginning, but now it can accommodate five Tanzi-class ships at the same time.

When they came to Yunyong Island, both fleets stopped, the second fleet was to deliver supplies and personnel to Yunyong Island, and the first fleet was to rest on Yunyong Island for one night, and by the way, it would replenish some supplies to the fleet.

The people on Yunyong Island did not react much to the arrival of the two fleets, how many times the fleet has come and gone to Yunyong Island, and the people on the island have become accustomed to it.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of May 20, the first fleet, led by Yun Yong, set off, first to the southernmost tip of Yunyong Island, and then sailed according to the direction Wang Ertao said.

How far can a person stand on the shore and look out to sea?

It is expected that fifty miles will be able to reach.

At that time, Wang Ertao was standing on the lookout platform of the Tanhai steamship, and in the field of vision of his telescope, he found something flashing by, if it was an island or land, the distance was at least more than 50 miles.

Today's weather conditions are okay, but it is a bit annoying for the lookout, because there is a faint layer of fog on the sea, which makes the lookout's vision drastically reduced, but as the sun hangs high, the fog will quickly dissipate, but now there is nothing that can be done.

Now Wang Ertao is standing on the lookout of the Linjia steamship, holding a monocular and looking in the direction of his memory, unfortunately, because of the fog, Wang Ertao can not find anything.

The fleet continued to sail, because it was an unknown route, and the speed of the fleet was relatively slow, so that it could quickly avoid the reef when it was found, but the speed of the fleet was reduced to about half of the usual speed.

An hour and a half later, the fleet traveled about thirty miles, and the fog on the sea was quickly dissipating.

In a blur, Wang Ertao's vision seemed to have a black and green outline.

Wang Ertao wiped his eyes with his hands, the outline in the field of vision did not disappear, and Wang Ertao was ecstatic.

"I saw it, I saw it."

"I saw it too." When the other lookouts on the lookout heard Wang Ertao's voice, they understood that Wang Ertao had made a discovery, and when they looked in the direction, they also saw something in their field of vision.

The movement from the lookout made the entire Linjia steamship excited, and if they did find an island or land, they would all get a bounty.

The fleet continued to sail, the fog quickly dissipated, but Wang Ertao's face became solemn.

"I thought I found a bigger island, but I didn't expect this island to be so small, I'm afraid it doesn't have much development value." The words of a lookout beside Wang Ertao were similar to what Wang Ertao thought in his heart, it is a good thing to find an island, but the island found is too small to have development value, so the island is meaningless.

Hearing the sound, Yun Yong under the lookout also showed a trace of disappointment on his resolute face.

"No, what's that!" Suddenly, Wang Ertao looked farther away in disbelief.

[The first update is delivered, and there will be a second update later, I was watching it before (Demon God Paradise), and it feels very good, and I was fascinated all of a sudden]
