According to the news from the outside world, near the North and South Poles, reptiles have appeared in the outer regions, from magic insects to reptiles, the level of alien invasion creatures is getting higher and higher, and the situation has become more serious.

In the summer and autumn, according to the arrangement of the military government, some major universities in the Western Qin Prefecture, including the Western Qin Military Academy, arranged the freshmen department in the Nine Mysterious Realms, in addition, a large number of immigrants began to move into the Nine Mysterious Realms one after another, and the government also increased the development process in the inner part of the secret realm.

At this time, Ling Li had already returned to Dengxian Island, making preparations to go to sea to explore and find the mainland on the Chixuan Star.

According to the astronomical observation and calculation of the height of the sun on Dengxian Island, the location of this island should be located in the southerly direction of the southern hemisphere of the Red Xuan Star, and as for the latitude and longitude, the observatory on Dengxian Island on the Black Rock Mountain has become a zero-degree dividing line, which is equivalent to Greenwich on the Blue Star.

The expedition team consisted of more than 30 scientific expedition teams composed of navigation experts, astronomers, meteorologists, oceanographers, geographers, and animal and plant biologists, as well as an escort team of 150 soldiers, mainly Luo Xin, Li Tianzheng, and Liang Xiaotian.

Nominally, the leader of the expedition team was Lu Jiayi, the vice president of the Secret Research Institute, an amiable-looking old lady, an academician of the Eastern Regions Academy of Sciences, and an expert in the field of metallurgical materials science. What surprised Ling Li was that this old man, who looked harmless to humans and animals, was actually a cultivator of the Three Tribulations Nirvana Realm.

Therefore, people should not be disguised, if they despise the center of the battle, they will let the old lady slap them into the soil.

Ling Li's original plan was to travel alone, which was actually safer, but since the Dengxian Island side had made all kinds of preparations before exploring, they did not raise any objections.

After all, many future operations will still rely on these people to carry out, and familiarizing yourself with the route and the sea conditions and terrain along the way in advance will also be beneficial for future operations.

The "Haiyang" scientific research ship is a 10,000-ton ship built by the Qinzhou Shipyard, which is characterized by tight defense, no heavy weapons installed, and only a small number of small-caliber source rapid-fire guns. These weapons can only deal with some mid- and low-level alien beasts, and when facing the threat of high-level alien beasts, they still need to be solved by cultivators of the transcendent realm.

However, the ship's hull defense system was able to withstand the sudden attack of high-level alien beasts in a short period of time, buying enough time for the transcendent realm cultivators on the ship to react.

The "Ocean" research ship first sailed around the waters around Dengxian Island.

In the waters around Dengxian Island, the sea is filled with green fog and surging waves.

Because the seabed contains all kinds of rich mineral deposits, the endless release of various violent magnetic field energy collides with each other, resulting in magnetic field disorder, turbulent undercurrents under the sea surface, and various sea conditions are extremely complex and chaotic.

The sea surface, which originally seemed to be very calm, could form extremely dangerous whirlpools of various sizes at any time due to various undercurrents, like black holes. Some large whirlpools, such as the "Ocean", a 10,000-ton ship, can be swallowed into it.

With such complex sea conditions and the fog that pervades the sea, it is extremely dangerous to navigate the sea.

Ling Li is also vigilant at all times, so that when he encounters a crisis, he can drag the "Ocean" into his trial space as soon as possible.

He wasn't too worried about his own safety.

With the existence of people like Tantai Makino, even in the Middle Heaven Realm, there were not many things that could threaten them.

In such complex sea conditions, the ocean has indeed become a forbidden area for human navigation, but it has become a paradise for some powerful sea beasts.

Within hundreds of kilometers around Dengxian Island, there are still some small islands or rocky reefs, and this situation has generated a relatively detailed map before, but 500 kilometers away, due to the influence of fog, it is impossible to figure it out.

On the third day after leaving Xinfengling Port, the "Ocean" entered the westerly wind zone in the south of Dengxian Island, and this 10,000-ton scientific research ship sailed on the foggy sea in the face of wind and waves.

The situation is similar to the westerly wind belt in the southern hemisphere above the blue star.

In memory, the reason for the formation of this westerly wind belt is due to the air convection formed by the polar low pressure zone and the subtropical high pressure zone, which is produced by the rotation of the stars, and because there is no natural barrier formed by continental mountain ranges, this perennial westerly wind belt climate will be formed.

From this, Ling Li judged that in the southern hemisphere of Chixuanxing, there should be a large area of ocean, and there are no continental plates.

This year-round westerly climate is difficult to understand on the Red Flame Star.

The continents of South Melika and Alika are connected to the Antarctic continent, and the vast oceans are separated, forming patches of almost closed seas, and there is no such perennial wind convective climate.

At the meeting of the scientific expedition team held on the ship, Ling Li said his thoughts, meaning that it was difficult to find a continent in the southern hemisphere of Chixuanxing, and suggested exploring north from Dengxian Island. His reason was supported by most people, in fact, the cause and reason of the westerly wind belt are not difficult to understand, everyone can understand if you think about it, Ling Li's suggestion is not untargeted.

After circumnavigating the island for a week, the fleet returned to Fengling Harbor in the north of Dengxian Island, and the personnel went ashore for a short rest for two days before setting off again.

This time the course is northeast.

The time on the ship is actually very boring, and for safety reasons, the personnel on the research ship, except for the necessary jobs, are not allowed to move freely on the deck at ordinary times. Most of the time, everyone had to stay in the cabin.

Of course, there are still some places to entertain everyone on board, such as restaurants, bars or games rooms, cinemas, reading rooms and fitness training rooms.

In addition to his daily cultivation, Ling Li would occasionally go out of his cabin and go to the dining room and game room to have some exchanges with everyone. As an extraordinary, he was occasionally allowed to go out on deck to breathe, take a walk, and get a glimpse of the ocean scenery on this otherworldly continent.

Of course, there's really nothing to see on this foggy ocean.

Occasionally, research ships are attacked by high-level transcendent creatures from the sea, but the ship's escort team is enough to deal with it, and it doesn't take Ling Li's own hands to deal with the danger.

The journey at sea seemed to be very long, and Ling Li kept thinking about whether there would be humans on this planet. If so, how should they, the "outsiders", communicate and get along with the natives of this astral body?

The reality is that he may have thought a little too much......
