This journey is a little more difficult than expected, because there is no monsoon on the coast of East Africa, so it is much more difficult to sail long distances than the routes in Southeast Asia. Because without the help of the monsoon, it is impossible for such a large building boat to paddle by manpower.

It took a month to cross the equator alone, and many of the crew members were already suffering from weakness, cough, fever, and so on.

Li Shan knows very well that this is a manifestation of sepsis, although sepsis has no obvious clinical manifestations, but as a crew member, long-term use of food without vitamin C will inevitably cause the appearance of sepsis. It's summer, and there's no way to store a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables in the cabin, and they've not eaten fresh vegetables for days, and now they're eating all dry food and fish, and something will definitely happen in the long run.

Li Shan summed up the experience this time, because the monsoon in the Indian Ocean is not obvious, so the role of the ocean current is very important, but because the summer current in the Indian Ocean is not conducive to their current course, it will cause the travel speed to be so slow.

Similarly, a similar problem arose on Princess Gadot's treasure ship. Now that the two ships have begun to sail side by side, Li Shan will also go to the treasure ship as a guest, and Princess Gadot often comes to Li Shan.

Princess Gadot said, "Li Shan, we need to dock for supplies now. My captain said that if we went on this voyage we would all die here, and the crew was already starting to react badly. ”

Li Shandao: "Of course I know, but you also want to see the situation on the beach, right?" We can't find a place to dock yet, so let's walk slowly, and we should be able to dock. Fortunately, we have now crossed the equator, and the current is in line with us, and the speed of the ship is much more stable. ”

Gadot doesn't know what Li Shan said about the ocean current, what the equator is, Li Shan has been like this these days, and he will always pop up some strange words, so that Gadot can't understand. But when Gadot asked, Li Shan avoided answering, and Gadot was angry and asked Li Shan to fight him several times, but he couldn't beat Li Shan, so he had to give up in the end.

Li Shan looked at Gadot's big eyes, knowing that she didn't understand, and this time he explained to Gadot for the first time: "Come and see, no matter how powerful the Gobi or the desert is as far as the eye can see on the coast, or it is a cliff, it is impossible for us to land in the middle of the country." Li Shan handed the telescope to Gadot and asked Gadot to take a look.

Li Shan had been keeping it a secret before this, and Jia didn't know about the telescope at all, but now Li Shan didn't want to hide it. Both sides need to be in the same boat, and now is not the time for intrigues.

Gadot carefully looked at the scene in front of him with a telescope, and sure enough, it was as Li Shan said. said to Li Shan: "Is this thing that can see so far also invented by you?" It's amazing, it's like an eagle's eye. ”

Li Shan smiled and didn't speak, so he was colder at this time.

Gadot looked excitedly from a distance with a telescope, suddenly changed his expression, pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "Li Shan, what do you think it is?" ”

Li Shan didn't take the binoculars, and looked along Gadot's finger, there was nothing special. But when I took the binoculars, they were broken, and a thick dark cloud blew over. Faintly you can see that it is mixed with lightning and thunder, as if a storm is coming. Such unstable cyclones are very susceptible to such tropical regions, and this is one of the biggest threats when ships are on long voyages.

Li Shandao: "It's bad, Princess Gadot should hurry back to her own boat, this thundercloud is quite fierce, I don't know if we can dodge it, we must be fully prepared." ”

Gadot said: "The two of us have similar boats, which boat is different?" What if a storm suddenly hits me when I go back? I'd better stay here, I'm sure you'll be able to handle this storm. ”

At this time, Zheng Peng also came, and said with a somewhat serious face: "Boss, there is a thundercloud sent to the east to float over, and according to my estimate, it will come to us in less than half an hour." ”

Li Shandao: "Can't you avoid it?" ”

Zheng Peng shook his head: "The scope of the dark clouds is too large, it is estimated that it is a storm." But the boss doesn't have to worry, the storm won't overturn our ship, but we still have to prepare early, and the boss should go back to the cabin as soon as possible. ”

Li Shan saw that Gadot refused to go back, so he could only take Gadot back to the cabin.

Sure enough, within half an hour, the wind suddenly rose, and it was still a blue sky and a white day, but it was instantly covered by dark clouds, as if it was night all of a sudden. The violent storm outside the cabin beat against the hull, and the huge building ship was like a leaf, abandoned and falling by the churning water.

Li Shan would be willing to sit here and rush out of the cabin, he wanted to see what the storm was like, and Gadot followed closely, Gadot was also a decent woman.

Zheng Peng is directing the sailors to lower the sails, retract them, and strengthen the hull. Lower the anchor at the right time to balance the hull. But in fact, these are some things that only people can do, and it is the intensity of this storm that really determines the victory.

In the face of the forces of nature, the power of man is too weak to compete with it. The violently shaking hull made Li Shan stand unsteadily, the wind howled, and the mast made a "click" sound, as if it was about to break at any time. Li Shan's heart was also a little throbbing, and he was a little out of breath by the dark clouds and rainstorm.

Zheng Peng, as an experienced old captain, naturally saw more of this kind of scene, and said: "Boss, go back first, it's okay, the storm here is not big, our ship is very stable, there will be no problem." ”

Gadot looked a little defeated and said, "We're going to be fine, right?" Could it be that this ship is going to capsize? ”

Li Shandao: "I believe Captain Zheng, he has seen this kind of scene a lot, and he said that it was okay if it was okay." Let's go back to the cabin and don't mess with him. ”

Although Gadot was not afraid, in this case, it was inevitable that he would be a little flustered, and when he saw Li Shan say this, he could only follow Li Shan back to the cabin.

The storm was endless, and it was only in the middle of the night that it stopped, and neither ship had any accidents, and survived the storm safely. But the power of this storm still made Li Shan's heart palpitate.

But I didn't expect that because of this storm, it was also a blessing in disguise, and the next morning Zheng Peng told Li Shan that they could go ashore. The storm of this day brought them to the shore, which was densely forested, and it was a place to rest. (To be continued.) )
