"Your teacher is a wise man, and it is hard for me to imagine what a society more developed than the Song Dynasty was like. You are different from all the Song people, just like the sea boats, their ships can only run very slowly, and your ships are faster. Carl understood what Hong Tao meant, and he agreed with what Hong Tao said.

"Now you have faith? It's okay to talk to your God, by the way, have you seen the Pope himself? In your country, is your cousin not as powerful as the pope? At the end of the point, now that Carl has regained his confidence, Hong Tao doesn't want to explain more to him, the word trust has a lot of restrictions here in Hong Tao, there is no trust for no reason, everyone has his trustworthiness limit, and he can't overdraw it yet.

"My cousin hates the Pope, he is not willing to send troops on this crusade, if it weren't for the Pope, I wouldn't be captured!" Karl is also bold, anyway, there is no church here, and he dares to be disrespectful to the pope.

"I've heard that your cousin has been expelled by the Pope several times, is it true?" Hong Tao is actually a very gossipy person in his bones, he always likes to inquire about other people's unlucky news, and when others are unlucky, he is like eating honey.

"How do you know!" This time Carl finally couldn't help it, Hong Tao was already surprised to know who his cousin was, which could also be explained by the news that came through an Arab merchant. But the fact that his cousin was excommunicated by the Pope, which was only known within the church and in the upper echelons of the nobility, could not have spread so widely.

"Don't be so curious, what you should tell will tell you, there are things you can't know, and asking too much is not good for yourself. You just need to know that I am not ignorant of your country, even France and Spain are familiar to me, so don't expect to lie to me about this in the future. Okay, I'm tired, go to sleep first, control the speed and course of the boat. Hong Tao knew that he had leaked his mouth again, but at this time, he couldn't panic, let alone explain, he had to use a stronger aura to suppress the other party, so that Carl didn't dare to ask again, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain clearly.

A larger sailboat pulled three small sailboats for a full sixteen hours, and the second berth in the back sent a signal that it was time to the place. There was an hourglass on his ship, which was the only navigation tool for the Tan family, and once they had determined the general direction through the constellations and the sun, they relied on this rudimentary method to determine the distance. It's too rough, and taking into account the wind and currents, this destination can be tens of nautical miles away. Therefore, the Tan family generally acted collectively when they went to the sea, one ship after another, hanging lanterns at night, and relying on the most experienced old sailors to lead them. Once you break away from this organization, you will not be able to find your destination if you don't have a lot of experience in long-distance sailing, and if you can't get to Ganquan Island, you won't be able to replenish fresh water, and if you don't have fresh water to replenish it, you won't be able to stay on the sea for several days. Even if you encounter a big school of fish, you can't catch it, so you can only return home.

Hong Tao didn't have to worry about this problem, his ship was big and could carry enough fresh water reserves, but he still strictly followed the instructions of the constellation, and used the star plate to fix the route at the same latitude, even so, he did not find Ganquan Island, and deviated about ten nautical miles to the north. Because he does not know the latitude of Ganquan Island, he can only guess according to the location of Sanya, which shows the importance of an accurate nautical chart for the voyage, which is only 400 kilometers, a difference of nearly 20 kilometers, if you want to run a longer distance, the error will be multiplied, and whether you can find the mainland of the Philippines is a problem.

However, Hong Tao's fate was better, and he met a group of Da Song sea ships that followed the ocean current south, and only knew his exact location by their guidance, and found Ganquan Island. Originally, Hong Tao also wanted to replenish some fresh water, but when he tasted it, he immediately dispelled this idea, preferring to drink the fresh water in the clay pot that was not too fresh than to change the water on Ganquan Island. This Nima is not called fresh water, this is called brackish water, you can drink it, but the water contains too much potassium and sodium, and drinking too much will be harmful to the body, and the taste is also very bad.

"Second brother, you can rest here, it is estimated that the fleet behind will arrive at night or tomorrow, and I will go around first." Hong Tao is an idle person, and he is not very tired of driving this kind of sailboat for a short voyage, so he plans to find a suitable sea area for booby trapping sharks first, and it is best not to be in the fishing grounds of the Tan family.

"Don't go too far!" Bo Xiaoer can't control Hong Tao, so he can only do his duty, and he likes to listen or not.

"Understood!" Hong Tao really took Bo Xiaoer's words as a deaf ear, and he planned to walk more than ten nautical miles east to take a look.

"I want to have such a ship, and I also want to go farther away to see, Azhu is lucky, this is the gift of Mazu!" Bo Xiaosan watched Hong Tao's sailboat slowly leave the anchorage and sail towards the east, his eyes full of envy. The men of the Tan family are not afraid of the sea, but they do not have the ability to explore the wider sea area and are trapped on the seaside.

"Yes, Tao Lingzi said that he would build a bigger boat for our Tan family, I believe him." Bo Xiaoer is a little older than his younger brother, and the years have worn off his sharpness.

When Ganquan Island had become a small black spot in the sky, Hong Tao dropped his sails and began to cut the sea wolves in the sea chamber into several pieces one by one with a machete, and began to throw them into the sea water at the stern of the boat. The sea water was soon stained red with the blood of dozens of sea wolves, and in less than two quarters of an hour, black shadows cruising rapidly appeared below.

"The shark is coming!" When Bo Zhu saw these black shadows, he involuntarily grabbed Hong Tao's arm.

"It's not a shark, our luck is not good, all the wolves who come are sea wolves, not a single shark, where have they gone? Do they also catch the sea today? Hong Tao was not happy at all, those black shadows under the surface of the water were not sharks, but more sea wolves, these things were eaten as long as they were meat, and it didn't matter what the same kind or different kinds.

"There's a ...... over there There are big schools of fish! Bo Zhu just wanted to comfort Hong Tao Don't worry, but a group of seabirds in the distance caught her attention, and after staring at it for a few minutes, the hand holding Hong Tao's arm became harder, and his face was flushed with excitement, and his speech was not very neat.

"That group of seabirds is waiting for a school of fish?" Hong Tao also stared at the seabirds for a while, and found that there were seabirds constantly diving.

"Well...... My grandfather said that the best time to fish on the sea is when a group of seabirds have been gathering for a long time, and he has caught up, and he can't drag it down! Let's go! Let's go! Ah Zhu was about to jump up, pulling Hong Tao's arm and shaking it violently, for fear that Hong Tao would not believe her.
