Chapter 0472: The Adventures of Tintin (Sixty-One)
"Strange, what exactly did Pete want to say in his last sentence?" Qin'er frowned and was in doubt, Guan Heng suddenly shouted: "Not good! The unicorn ghost ship is about to collapse and sink, Qin'er, let's go! β
Guan Heng called the flying sports car with the controller, holding Qin'er's arm, the two quickly jumped into the car, and after they drove the DMC-12 all the way on the sea, they went directly back to the Sirius trawler!
"Oh, you're finally back safely!" Tintin greeted the two of them on the deck, and then asked with a smile, "Uh, did you get anything out of going out for a day and a night?" β
"Well, how do you say that?" Guan Heng and Qin'er glanced at each other, they both felt that the ghost ship was too shocking, so they didn't plan to explain the real situation to Ding Ding.
Guan Heng just shrugged his shoulders and said, "The harvest is neither big nor small, we asked the locals on the nearby islands, and they really know where the Unicorn sank!" β
"Oh, that's great!" Ding Ding rubbed his hands and smiled: "This is also good news!" β
"What's more, the locals say that the sea near the wreck is dangerous, and there are often maelstroms!" Qin'er said on the side: "It just so happens that the day we are coming now is the day when the whirlpool disappears!" β
"Alright!" Guan Heng said to Ding Ding: "Let's go to Captain Addock and discuss how to take advantage of the disappearance of the whirlpool in the past few days to go to the sea to find the shipwreck!" β
"Oh, yes! One more thing to tell you! Guan Heng suddenly remembered something, he took an object from Qin'er's hand and showed it to Ding Ding: "Look, I bought a red Rackham treasure from a stall on the inhabited island!" β
What Guan Heng showed Tintin was the scimitar studded with precious gems used by Red Rackham!
"Tintin, look, this is a veritable antique sword!" Guan Heng chuckled and said to his friends: "I try to use it to sharpen iron bars, it's as easy as peeling carrots and cucumbers!" β
"Haha, I'm sure you're bragging!" Ding Ding laughed and said, "The ghost believes you!" What treasures are there on the stalls? You're fooled, aren't you? β
"Cut, you kid doesn't know treasures, you really don't have vision!" Seeing that Ding Ding didn't believe what he said, Guan Heng didn't care, they talked and laughed, chatted as they walked, and just walked across the deck to Captain Haddock's room!
"Captain, I've thought about it carefully, in fact, our ship has been circling around the sinking site of the Unicorn!" Guan Heng said to Haddock in the captain's room: "Before, we used to find the location of the shipwreck according to the latitude and longitude provided by the parchment scroll, and there was nothing wrong at all! β
"But Sir Francis is using French charts!" According to his own analysis, Guan Heng explained to Tintin and Haddock in detail: "And we use the Greenwich meridian to calculate the radius, so I missed a little bit in calculating the direction before!" β
"I see! Guan Heng, you mean...... "Captain Addock is worthy of being an old seaman, and he immediately realized the meaning of Guan Heng's words.
Seeing that Ding Ding and Qin'er were a little puzzled, Guan Heng opened his mouth and explained: "That's the case, because the ancient French charts are not the same as the current nautical charts, their meridian zero degrees is in Paris, and that position is a little more than two degrees east of the Greenwich meridian......"
"Bang!" Captain Haddock slammed his fist on the table, and he shouted happily, "Guan Heng is not wrong at all, that's it!" β
Hearing this, Qin'er and Tintin were very happy to hear this, because everyone finally found the exact location of the sinking of the Unicorn, before that, if you can see the whirlpool of ocean currents, the location of the wreck is a little easier, but Guan Heng and Qin'er have eliminated the ghost pirate ship and the red Rackham, the whirlpool will not appear, the vast sea is as calm as waves, if you can't determine the latitude and longitude, the location of the sinking of the Unicorn is really difficult to find!
"Hurry! Crewβall listen to Lao Tzu! Captain Haddock didn't want to delay for half a second, so he ran out of the captain's cabin and shouted to the sailors on deck: "Left full rudder, turn the ship around at once!" β
"Captainβ" shouted the boatswain on deck, clasping his palms around his lips, "which way are we going now?" β
"Ahem, look at me, I forgot to explain it in detail in a hurry!" Slightly embarrassed, Captain Haddock cleared his throat and then shouted to the crew, "Adjust the hull, Sirius is heading due east at full speed!" β
Half an hour later, Ad'Dock observed a scene through his glasses and exclaimed, "Look ahead, there's an island covered with dense vegetation!" Haha, this is our treasure island! β
"Oh, that's great!" Everyone on board burst into laughter, for the hard days of sailing at sea had finally paid off! Now, everyone is one step closer to the treasure, and that small island is most likely Francis. Where Sir Haddock lived for two years after the sinking of the Unicorn!
"I suggest we let Sirius drop anchor first!" Guan Heng said to the captain: "Because it's too late today, anyway, there is no hurry, and the island will not run away on its own!" β
Captain Adoch lit his pipe and took a leisurely puff, and he said to everyone, "Good! That's it! Let's have a party tonight! β
In this way, everyone talked and laughed, and prepared for the dinner party in the evening, waiting to go to the island the next day to find out!
The next morning, the eager treasure hunt expedition team gathered and set off, and they rode a sampan to break the waves and split the waves, and landed on the shallows on the side of the island in a few minutes!
On the boat, several people landed on the island for the first time, including Guan Heng, Tintin, Captain Haddock, and Dupont and Dupon!
"Poof! Smack! Jumping out of the boat barefoot and wading across the shallows in a few steps, Captain Addock turned to the rest of the men and said, "Drag this little sampan to shore first, and I'll go and reconnoiter the neighborhood first!" β
"Be careful, Captain!" Guan Heng raised his voice and instructed: "I see that this island is densely forested, maybe there are some wild beasts inhabiting!" β
"Hey, let's rest assured!" Captain Addock showed a big grin, full of care, he shook the self-defense spear in his hand and said: "I am not afraid of any beast, if anyone dares to attack me, we will reward this guy in our hand with a bullet to taste!" β
Everyone parted, and Captain Haddock went into the forest to investigate, and Guan Heng and Tintin dragged the boat to the shore with three strokes and five divisions, and then buckled the sampan with the bottom side of a large rock facing up!
After a while, Captain Addock came back with his spear in his hand, and he said in a loud voice, "I have gone around the woods, and it is safe for the time being, and I have found no danger!" β
"Oh, hell, it hurts me!" An abrupt cry suddenly sounded: "Oops! I've been sneak attacked! β
