There are two wharves on the coast of Wanghai Town, one is the "Wanghai Town Wharf", and the other is the wharf in the shipyard adjacent to the "Wanghai Town Wharf", the wharf of the shipyard is relatively small, the scale is less than one-third of the Wharf of Wanghai Town, and the wharf of such a size is enough for the shipyard to use.

On the westernmost side of the wharf in Wanghai Town, there is a two-storey reinforced concrete building that has just been built and put into use not long ago.

Yun's shipyard is not ordinary, now the six ships owned by Yun's have been owned by Yun's shipyard, not under the name of the shipyard, Yun's shipyard's chief steward is served by Yun Yong, Lin Zhen's second steward, Wang Jinwen's third steward, in a short period of time Yunyong and Lin Zhen have to lead the fleet to go to sea to perform tasks, and Wang Jinwen sits on the Yun's shipyard, responsible for the deployment of personnel and materials, and makes logistical preparations for the two fleets.

Yun's shipmaster is Yunyi's personal order to establish, Yun's shipyard's future role is not small, not only the shipyard built by the ship are owned by Yun's shipmaster, in the future, Yun's shipmaster will also establish a school, specializing in batch training of shipbuilding talents, now Yun's shipmaster is still too few, usually most of the time is used to go to sea to perform tasks, and the accumulated sailing experience is not enough, so the establishment of the school will be delayed for a period of time, it is expected that Yunyong will not continue to stay on the ship when he unloads the position of fleet commander, The academy can be set up and begin to recruit students.

On May 15, the fleet under the Yun Ship Administration was officially divided into two fleets, Yun Yong was in charge of the first fleet, and Lin Zhen was in charge of the second fleet.

However, there was an unexpected figure in the conference hall - Wang Ertao, the lookout on the Tanhai, the first person to discover Yunyong Island, was rewarded by Yunyi, and then Wang Ertao rose in his heart to explore the sea by boat, and then Wang Ertao became a member of Lin Zhen's follow-up study, but Wang Ertao's position has not changed, he is still a lookout, you must know that the people who study behind Lin Zhen are all hung with the title of deputy captain, and it is not surprising that they will become captains and even manage a fleet in the future.

It's a pity that Wang Ertao can't read a few big characters, how can the future captain and even the fleet commander be illiterate, although Lin Zhen admires Wang Ertao, but because Wang Ertao is illiterate, there is a gap with other deputy captains.

Wang Ertao is also a person who does not admit defeat, with more than 100 gold obtained from the first voyage, Wang Ertao directly took out a sum of money and asked the people in the fleet who knew how to read and write to teach him to read and write in his free time.

Wang Ertao still did not become the deputy captain of this meeting, but he was taken by Lin Zhen to participate in this meeting.

The theme of this meeting is the route of the first fleet to explore the sea, according to the route to explore the area of the sea location, this is a very important thing, the sea is too vast, with a few fleets will definitely not be able to bring all areas of the sea to the side, not to mention that the fleet is with a mission to explore the sea, the task needs to be completed in the shortest possible time, a regular sea exploration route is essential.

Take the first time the Yun fleet went to sea, the route of that exploration of the sea has been determined, first of all, it sails south for about 750 miles, if it is not found on the way, it turns to the east and sails for 500 miles, if it still does not find, then turns to sail north for a distance, and then turns to sail westward, and explores this sea area 750 miles long and 500 miles wide. Luckily, the fleet found Unyong Island when they were returning home.

In the conference hall, Yun Yong and the others were now discussing whether to continue with the exploration plan of going to sea for the first time, or choose another route again.

Yun Yong, Lin Zhen, and Wang Jinwen are all the "old men" of the fleet, and they have more experience than others, and at the meeting, the three of them did not express their opinions, but let others speak more, and the status of the three of them in the Yun Ship Administration is unbreakable, and what they need to do is to cultivate more talents who are in charge of their own affairs.

The other captains and co-captains found that about a third of them chose to continue with their first voyage to sea, while the rest chose a new route to explore the sea.

Seeing that other people were talking, Wang Ertao, who was sitting in the corner of the chamber, also wanted to express his thoughts, but Wang Ertao's current position was still that of a lookout, and the lowest position of other people in the chamber was also the deputy captain, and his status was far higher than Wang Ertao.

Wang Ertao sat in the corner, no one paid attention to such a lookout, but Wang Ertao was brought by Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen admired this young man very much, so he paid attention to Wang Ertao sitting in the corner from time to time, Lin Zhen looked at Wang Ertao's changing expression, and guessed that Wang Ertao also wanted to express his opinion, but it was difficult to speak because of his own status and identity. Wang Ertao will also feel inferior because of his identity and status, which is a normal thing.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen took advantage of the break in the discussion and said, "Wang Ertao, since you are sitting here, you can also tell me your opinion." ”

Hearing Lin Zhen's words, everyone in the conference hall immediately turned their eyes to Wang Ertao in the corner, they all knew Wang Ertao, the first person who discovered Yunyong Island, although Wang Ertao appeared in the conference hall, but because Wang Ertao's status and identity were too far behind them, no one would pay attention to Wang Ertao.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Wang Ertao lowered his head "shyly".

"Steward Lin has spoken, Wang Ertao, you can talk about it." Yun Yong also spoke.

Hearing this, Wang Ertao stood up from his seat tremblingly (except for the three stewards, everyone else in the chamber needed to stand up when speaking).

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for giving the villain this opportunity." Wang Ertao first bowed in the direction of Lin Zhen, and then continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the villain has an idea, after the fleet found Yunyong Island when it first went to sea, it went around Yunyong Island for a week, and when it sailed to the southernmost tip of the island, the villain unexpectedly felt that there seemed to be something in the south, but he was not sure what it was, or the villain was dazzled, because the villain had dreamed a few times about this matter. ”

In the end, Wang Ertao's own words were a little hesitant, and he didn't see it clearly, and Wang Ertao didn't dare to confirm that it was an island.

"Are you telling the truth?" Yun Yong's eyes looked at Wang Ertao like torches, bringing Wang Ertao infinite pressure.

"The villain's words are true."
