Chapter 107: There is movement in the water
"Psychedelic Island?"
"What is this?"
Mars was about to observe again, but when he heard his father say this, he suddenly became curious, after all, this is a novelty, so Mars thinks it is necessary to find out something.
"It's the kind of island that you can see, but you can never find, and it may seem very close to us, but in fact, even at our current speed, it may not be possible to reach its vicinity for several days or ten days, as if it is not. ”
After Lawrence explained this, Mars quickly had a definition.
"Mirage?"
Mars had this idea in his mind at this time, because this strange and false phenomenon is likely to suddenly appear in front of your eyes, but it is far away from you.
That's why I have such an idea, but when I look through a telescope, I find that it seems that the other party really doesn't exist.
Because the human eye may be disturbed by the surrounding environment, after the disturbance, some false imaging of what is seen.
Then you will find out that what you see is not actually there.
However, when you look through a telescope, you are hindered by the distractions of your surroundings.
It's like putting people in the furthest position, which means that you have already appeared where you are seeing things and then you can see them for what they are.
Here you find nothing, then in fact that means there is nothing here.
"That's right, I should have encountered the legendary mirage. ”
"It's just that because I found this thing, I reflected the islands of another area here. ”
"Well, I guess there's a huge island so far from here, it's a great place to be, and if I get there, my mobile island will be bigger. ”
Mars could only think like this at this time, because what he saw in front of him was nothing more than a false image, so he could only hope for it.
Lawrence observed for a moment, for he had already discovered that this thing should not exist just a moment ago, and that he had heard those words from the same people in the gathering place before.
Keep sailing!
The circumstances of the new event did not affect their voyage to the east, so at this time, Mars and Lawrence did not say anything about looking for that direction other than observing.
Since it was a false place, Mars wouldn't waste his time.
The Moving Island is now sailing at twice the speed, so it's still fast.
During the voyage, Mars' vision also changed.
Originally, their gaze was to the southeast, but as they sailed eastward, they saw the direction of the false island, which slowly changed to due south.
Then when I continued to sail east, I saw it in the southwest direction.
That's something else.
If it's usual, the other party is just a mirage.
Then as you move, the other person should always be in the same direction of your view, which means that the light is at the same angle as what your eyes are looking at, so even if you are moving, it will move in these directions.
Even if you don't move head-on towards it, it will be a picture of a common movement.
And now it feels as if the other party is in that area, as if it were a real island, and you are passing next to it through the route.
Then in the process you will be able to realize that your perspective is constantly changing, and the other person is standing still.
So in such a situation, Mars wondered if he had just thought wrong, and Lawrence was staring in that direction, even though he was now looking in the southwest direction, but he kept looking, because he felt that there seemed to be something in that place that attracted him.
"There's something in the water over there!"
As he got farther and farther away from the location of the island, which had been identified as a mirage, Mars saw that there seemed to be some changes in the water surface in the southwest area.
At this time, Mars said to his father.
"I saw it too!"
Lawrence's voice was no different from before, but at this point the content of his speech was very simple.
You must know that in the past, when he talked to Mars, he would call his son's name.
As if he wanted to let Mars know what his name was.
After all, this is a world of survival in the sea, and if you don't have a name to echo your name for so many years, you may be so lonely that you will forget your own name over time.
But now Lawrence is speaking more and more directly, and at the same time he doesn't care about changing Mars's name.
Instead, it gave Mars a very familiar feeling.
You know, in the past, he felt that it would be a little awkward to call it like that, but it was a little awkward.
But since you have come to this world, you can only communicate according to the way you communicate in this world, and you will not forcibly change the way people in this world communicate.
"There seems to be something swimming in that water, and there are a lot of them!"
Lawrence had already answered in the affirmative, and Mars had made a similar discovery, so at this time they turned the angle of the telescope to look at the water in the southwest direction.
The human eye can only see that there is an island there, and the changes on the water surface are not very clear, but when the telescope is overlooked, you will see that the water in the southwest direction is only water, and there are no other islands at all.
And the telescope also has the ability to see a lot of subtle changes, especially on the surface of the water, if there is a fish swimming on the surface of the water, it can basically see a general idea.
Now that Lawrence had made such a discovery, Mars was already sure that something was coming in his direction.
"Father, the island seems to have faded a lot, and it is not so clear to see. ”
Mars said this while Lawraus was using the telescope to observe, and then he also saw a different situation.
As the island completely vanished, the surface of the water reappeared after the waves.
Mars knew that the island he had just seen was what he thought was a mirage.
It may be because the moving island has been sailing to the east, and after the distance is a little far, their vision can no longer be disturbed by the surrounding environment, so they can't see the island.
