The last chapter of the manuscript is gone. I don't know if that's the end of the book, or if the rest of the manuscript is lost.

Reading this kind of novel-style manuscript is the same as watching a TV series, either you don't watch it, and you can see the end if you want to watch it. Seeing that half of it was suddenly gone, it was so unpleasant. Wang Xika put on underwater equipment and went to the ancient city to rummage through, but there was no trace of the manuscript.

I thought that this manuscript would have some connection with the underwater lost Atlantis, at least to explain why this ancient city dived underwater, but unfortunately it didn't. The whole manuscript is about a group of people who have discovered a giant dragon that can devour planets in the universe, and it is gone in the middle of the story.

Gone is gone. It's like chasing an online article before, the author who has seen it well suddenly breaks off, what can you do? Maybe this manuscript has been written so much, and then the whole city will sink?

Wang Xijia also tried hard to chase the manuscript, but found nothing.

Fortunately, there are other fun things in life, and you can find fun without reading the manuscript. Your own big ship has been built and you can go on a voyage to explore the world!

The large ship is 260 meters long, 90 meters wide, and has a draft of 10 meters, and its performance is almost the same as that of the famous Titanic, which is almost a small aircraft carrier. Wang Xijia originally wanted to name the ship "Xijia", but felt that it was a bit too arrogant. So just as the first plane was named "Upper Estuary", the ship was also named Upper Estuary.

Wang Xijia called Ah Snake, Peng Lianhu, Garincha, Lang Naduo, Zack and other friends and embarked on a journey to explore the sea.

Meng Jianniang also asked Wang Xijia: "Why do you want to sail?"

Wang Xika said, "Because the sea is there." ”

Originally, Wang Xika wanted to take Meng Jianniang and Daosheng on the road together, but for fear of delaying Daosheng's studies, he had to let the two of them stay home alone.

It is a large ship with dual power of steam and sailing, and its appearance is as beautiful as the Titanic. Inside, there is a kitchen and entertainment facilities. Friends are very happy to board the big ship, people are like this, when they are outside, they always want to go home and stay in peace, and when they stay for a long time, they want to sail.

Unlike the circumnavigation before the crossing, Wang Xika did not have a nautical chart. Although he vaguely knew the location of the major plates, the exact direction of the currents was not clear, and the depth of the water in the port was not clear. The technical level is closer to that of the navigators of the Age of Discovery.

Fortunately, Snake often rides fish to various places on voyages, which is a living navigation chart, and there is no problem with Snake wherever he wants.

The later generations of the Eurasian continent and the African continent King Xijia have basically completed the exploration, and the so-called exploration of the world is nothing more than the North and South Pole, the American continent and the Australian continent. The main thing is to go to the American continent.

There are many options for route maps, one is to sail to Europe, near Dracula's Castle, as Columbus did in the Americas, and then sail to the Americas.

One is the Far East-North America East Coast route. Passing through the Hawaiian Islands, it reaches the eastern part of North America.

There is also the Far East-North America West Coast route, Japan, Korea, the Russian Far East part of the voyage to Canada, and it is also possible to cross the Bering Strait if you want to.

In terms of equipment preparation, Wang Xika's own underwater robot water machine No. 1 is ready to go down and sneak around. In addition, I brought a telephone, but in this era there was no satellite phone, only a telephone with a line, and I couldn't make any more calls when the ship passed over Coffee Island. Fortunately, Wang Xijia knew the principle of radio, so he installed a telegraph at the mouth of the river, and then installed a telegraph on the ship, so that even at sea, he could keep in touch with his family.

Of course, camcorders and cameras are a must. If you go out on a long voyage and can't leave a record, I have to say that it is a pity.

In terms of food, we prepared a lot of rice and noodles, which can be stored for a long time, and also brought a lot of pickled products. Of course, they also brought plenty of guns and ammunition, so that they could replenish fresh meat on land during the voyage.

Drawing on the experience of the Age of Discovery, Wang Xika also prepared a large amount of brown rice and brought apples. This will provide you with the vitamins you need.

There were a total of 1,000 sailors on it, most of whom were veteran sailors recruited from the vicinity of Zejo, and all of them had a wealth of sailing experience. There are also 20 cheeks, all of whom are good brothers who sail with the snake. With the company of these experienced seafarers, the success rate of this expedition was greatly increased. Wang Xijia himself brought about 500 soldiers, including werewolves, friends from the estuary, and hairy people, a total of about 1,500 people.

In later generations, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier usually carried about 5,000 people, but Wang Xijia's ship was not an aircraft carrier and did not need so many aviation, so 1,500 people were enough.

So, let's go!

At the beginning, the routes were all familiar to everyone, and they first went to Coffee Island - Wang Xika originally planned to take Dr. Nikolai on a long trip with him, after all, headache and brain fever would inevitably occur during the voyage. But Nikolai politely refused, and before leaving this time, Wang Xika decided to visit this old friend again. After all, the road is long, and it can take months, if not years, to go.

In later generations, the sea transportation from East Asia to the east coast of the Americas also took at least 30 days, not to mention that the current technology is not developed, and the time spent in later generations is relatively low, and the reference value is relatively high, and the voyage time of Zheng He and Columbus takes at least one or two years for each voyage.

Now it's not just going to the Americas, but also to the North and South Poles and Australia. With the current level of sailing, it would be nice to be able to sail in two years.

Nikolai stood in front of the island to greet Wang Xika, with a lot of luggage with him.

"What's the matter, are you leaving?" asked Wang Xika. He remembered that Nikolai had expressed many times that he wanted to leave Coffee Island.

"Yes. Nikolai smiled.

"Where are you going, remember to keep in touch with us," Wang Xika was still a little reluctant to Nikolai. Although we now have phones, we don't have smartphones or the Internet, so we can't be thousands of miles away and still be able to watch each other's videos and chat. If you say goodbye today, you may never see Nikolai again.

"I'll go on a voyage with you. The nun took her luggage and went to the boat. Most of his luggage was medicines, as well as some manuscripts from Dracula's castle.

"Why did you change your mind? How do you solve the matter of eating?" Wang Xika was naturally overjoyed and helped Nikolai arrange accommodation. Nikolai lived in a luxurious suite, which was estimated to cost one or two thousand yuan a night in later generations, and of course it didn't matter in this era.

Wang Xijia is not worried about money. He worries about whether vampires can adapt to this particular diet at sea.

"I could see some pictures in my head, and suddenly I thought I should go with you, so I came. You won't be upset, will you? Don't worry about diet. Sea creatures also have blood. Nikolai said.

This one is. Fish, although cold-blooded, are also bloody. Not to mention that there are mammals such as whales and dolphins in the ocean, and the blood is the same as that of land animals. Predators in the ocean are also very sensitive to blood, and sharks are said to be able to smell blood from several kilometers away.

Everything is ready, go to the river slogan, go!

The farthest distance Wang Xijia has sailed before was to Coffee Island, but he has always had a sailing dream in his heart. After all, 70% of the planet is made up of oceans. Only by conquering the oceans can you conquer the entire planet.

Standing on the bow of the slogan on the river, Wang Xika was full of spirits. Feel like Jack who won the ticket in the "Titanic" movie, and he is the king of the world!

As he was expressing his emotions, he suddenly remembered what if his ship drove north, hit an iceberg and sank? There is not even a radar on the river slogan, there are so many glaciers in the Arctic, if you keep going north, there is a great chance of repeating the tragedy of the Titanic.

There should be some lifeboats, at least enough to fit 2,600 people.

Ah Snake dispelled Wang Xijia's concerns: What kind of lifeboat do you want? When the time comes, just find two whales to transport people. Moreover, he has been to all the seas in the world, and the route is very familiar, and there will be absolutely no accidents.

Wang Xika trusts Ah Snake very much, and when he heard this, he felt stable - what kind of lifeboat do you want, aren't you happy to sit on a whale?

The point is that it takes a long time to make a lifeboat, and it will take a long time to go back to this turnaround before you can set off. You can't wait until everything is ready, because there will always be places where you are not prepared.

The first target of the voyage was Fuso Island, which would later become Japan. It takes about 1,400 kilometers to sail.

The ship was about to travel 500 kilometers, and suddenly there were huge waves on the sea - bad, a typhoon is coming!

There have always been many winds and waves in the vicinity of Fuso, and when the ancient ship technology was not very developed, the seafarers basically died when they encountered this kind of wind. When the Mongol army went on an expedition to Japan, it fell under a hurricane. The Japanese name this wind kamikaze.

"Put away the sails and lower the mast!" Wang Xika commanded. In ancient times, wooden sailing ships often had their masts blown off when they encountered strong winds, and then the whole ship was cold.

Wang Xijia's ship is made of metal, so naturally he is not worried about the mast being blown off. He was mainly afraid that he would be blown back to the shore by a hurricane while hanging his sails, and the trip of the past few days would be in vain.

Fortunately, he has a lot of sailing experience, and he has seen a lot of winds and waves. Peng Lianhu, Lang Naduo, Zack, Garrincha and others are alive and well on the shore, but they can't do it at sea. One by one, they vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables. Apparently seasick.

Wang Xika was furious, tied himself to the mast and shouted: Ah! Let the storm come more violently!

Maybe God heard Wang Xijia's shout, and the storm really came more fiercely. The 200-meter-long ship was blown by the wind and spun like a spinning top.

Wang Xijia remembered a mantra he had learned to test wind power when he was in a nature class before: on the zero-level windless cooking smoke, the first-level soft wind smoke burns obliquely, the second-level light wind leaves sound, the third-level breeze tree branches sway, the fourth-level wind dust, and the fifth-level small trees shake with the wind. It is difficult to lift an umbrella at level 6, it is inconvenient to walk against the wind at level 7, branches are broken by wind at level 8, tiles are flying on the roof at level 9, trees are pulled out and houses fall down at level 10, and it is rare to see them at level 11 and 2......

Wang Xijia does not have a crosswind instrument, and he thinks that this time the custom should be about 70 m/s, which is considered a 18-level hurricane.
