The two teams were to harvest and stop harvesting, and the 95-day mission time was consumed for a full 40 days, and Bergstone came to Amsterdam several times during their frantic expeditions.

The silver-haired handsome guy is now full of spring breeze, without him, and his wallet is bulging.

The Swedish Navy in the past recent tulip bubble from a poor to a brain full of fat, now the flat ground thunder, in the blink of an eye rich man, naturally return to the original purpose of making money, began to pay close attention to the construction of their own team, Amsterdam's shipbuilding technology is obvious to all over the world, to buy a ship here is of course Bergstone's first choice.

After supervising the construction of the new ship of the navy, Bergstone and Lao Wang took the time to meet, and the silver-haired handsome man personally expressed his apologies to Lao Wang, after all, he was able to make money before, but now people are asking, but he can only refuse, and the upright Bergstone is also a little reluctant to go, but he really needs to sit in the North Sea, for Sweden to fight for more rights at sea, the navy has just been expanded, and this time period is inseparable from him.

So Bergstone used another way to make up for it, Lao Wang asked him to recruit senior seamen, he basically helped Lao Wang find all, and top-notch selection, and even transferred the elite of the Swedish Navy to help Lao Wang, he is the first person in the Swedish Navy, it is needless to say that the vision of the seafarers he brought to Lao Wang is of high quality, not to mention, Lao Wang's five warships can now be equipped with a complete command system.

Miss Lilu also sent her own support, including a group of seafarers and a three-masted armed merchant ship sent to Lao Wang, needless to say, this ship was commanded by Ferdinand, who was used to cooperating with Lao Wang, and the middle-aged seafarers saw Lao Wang's face full of indescribable taste, I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

After a brief consultation with Hines, the king thanked Bergstone and Lilu for a sunny winter day, and set sail from Amsterdam to Havana with a mixed fleet of nine sailing ships.

As the chief surveyor of the fleet, Wang Mancang chose the Transatlantic route opened by Columbus and still used today as the basis for formulating the route, but their departure place was farther than the port of Barros in Spain, where Columbus departed.

The fleet sailed from Amsterdam to the North Sea with less than a day's calm, the aftermath of the tulip bubble and a slight desertion of maritime trade, which to some extent reduced the frequency of privateers and piracy, and the voyage of the old king's fleet was quite stable before leaving the English Channel.

After that, as the fleet moved, the sea became more and more open, and the shadow of the continent quickly disappeared behind the shadow of the sail, and everywhere it went, it was an endless blue.

After another day's sailing, the number of seafowl that came to the ship from time to time to beg for some crumbs of bread was also reduced, and it was too far from land, and these merrily gluttonous gluttons would not be able to return to their nests in time if they continued to chase the ship, and in the face of life and food, they could only reluctantly stop hovering over the fleet, and withdraw to a safe distance from the mainland, waiting for the next passing ship.

Some superstitious sailors believe that it is a good sign that there are seabirds at sea, but that sailing becomes difficult without seabirds, and this is somewhat credible from the point of view that the farther you go offshore, the more difficult it is to replenish supplies.

On the fifth day of the voyage, people's eyesight began to be tired to varying degrees, especially the sailors at the lookout post, from the original two posts a day to three posts a day, it stands to reason that the vast blue sea should be the most vibrant place on the earth, but the old king seems to feel no different from a blue desert at this time.

The kind of vast and monotonous stuffed between heaven and earth, lonely and barren, makes people can't help but feel desolate in their hearts, Lao Wang can't help but think, those who can complete the voyage around the world with one or two people, it is really not simple.

His surveying skills have become more and more skilled, probably because he is getting farther and farther away from the continental shelf, and Lao Wang's reference coordinates are only the stars and the sun, and over the course of a few days, he has become more and more proficient in formulating and correcting the route.

So Lao Wang boldly corrected the course of the fleet, and built it from the original diagonal to the southeast to completely face the east, which allowed the sails to borrow enough trade winds and run fast.

The Atlantic trade winds have a very singular characteristic: in high latitudes, westerly winds are often blowing, while in low latitudes, easterly winds are often blowing.

If the fleet wants to go to the Caribbean, it must sail from west to east, and it will be able to sail at high latitudes for as long as possible, and a strong tailwind will make their forward speed greatly increased.

The purpose of Lao Wang's revised route is to let the fleet drive enough distance to the east first, because the direction is positive, the direction of the ship will not change, and it can always maintain sailing at high latitudes.

When the voyage has to change course into the lower latitudes, then go south into the Caribbean Sea, so that you can effectively save time at sea.

With Lao Wang's speed-up plan, the next ten days of sailing was like the waves pressed by the fleet, fleeting, Wang Mancang completely ran the brand-new warship as a consumable, and from time to time he would have a full sail to accelerate, and some old sailors who cherished the ship were full of unbearable faces, and they swore to the captain several times, and they all heard the slight squeak of the mast.

And Hines is full of indifference, he and Lao Wang are both selectors, and these ships are naturally not uncommon.

There are still Ferdinand who are more painful, but even if his heart is anxious and painful, he still gritted his teeth and ran at high speed with Lao Wang, but I have to say that it is really cool to chop waves in this state.

On the sixteenth day of the voyage, the fleet reached the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, in the middle of the North Atlantic, where it was briefly replenished with fresh water and fresh vegetables.

Takenaka's idea of giving the sailors a day off to relieve the fatigue of the long voyage with a relaxing feast coincided with that of the king and Hines, and it was soon finalized, and in the evening, the island feast began.

The so-called feast of the sailors, which is lively and lively, is in fact very simple, nothing more than the things eaten on the ship are carried off the ship, and then some fresh food sources that can be found at the supply site, whether it is picking fruits and vegetables, hunting animals, after simple roasting and cooking, it becomes the meal of the dinner.

The best news for the sailors of this kind of banquet is that the supply of rum is much higher than in the past, and it is certain that it will not reach the amount of heart-to-heart drinking, but in the words of Lao Wang, it is quite good to be able to drink happily.

Alcohol and crude food eliminated the fatigue of the sailors, and also made them temporarily dilute the dignity and inferiority that must be strictly enforced on the ship, and the two sailors who had followed Lao Wang since the time of the Xiulan borrowed wine and brought a cup to toast with Lao Wang, and found that the admiral and captain did not have a straight face and looked unsociable, and immediately encouraged more brothers to come up and clink glasses with Lao Wang, and the atmosphere was heated up after a round.

Lao Wang is an authentic red-faced man, for the wine that came over, he has always taken all the orders, and relied on tenacity and physical strength to put it there, Brother Wang was stunned to be tough and rigid everyone, a thousand cups are not drunk, after pouring out a few guys who took the lead in making trouble, the dinner party also came to an end, the selectors kept vigil in batches, and the rest of the people fell asleep, Lao Wang seemed to understand that sailors are often enthusiastic and unrestrained and accustomed to leaving no spare money, living this precarious sea life, even an island picnic has become a luxury, and it is a good way of life to have fun in time.

The next day, the people were full of energy after a happy and happy life, and after some intense preparations, they set out on the voyage again.

The fleet turned around in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, officially entering the second section of Lao Wang's planned route, and the direction of the fleet was pointing to the southeast, which was actually sailing along the east coastline of the United States in the real world.

Wang compared the nautical charts with the real-world maps, and used several major cities of the Evil American Empire as references along the way, all the way from Boston to New York and finally to Philadelphia.

The further south they went, the weaker the strong westerly winds became, and if this attenuation continued, it would not take two days for the wind to turn completely easterly, and by that time they would have to sail for some time in a great headwind.

The same change is also the temperature, with the decrease in latitude, the cold of the North Atlantic Ocean was driven away, the sea temperature began to gradually rise, Lao Wang they entered the world of the Age of Sail when it was already autumn, in the winter came very fast in the North Sea did not enjoy a few days of autumn high air, was hit by the frost, now a voyage, but the sea on the spring, summer, autumn and winter have experienced.

As the old saying goes, people are a bit cheap, and this wise saying also applies to the selectors, when the invincible uncle team was tired of running for their lives, everyone complained about when it would be easier, and now the quiet days of sailing have passed, although it is harder, but it is not comfortable, but everyone is starting to feel bored and bored, and their hearts are empty, and they always want to find something to do.

It turns out that the wish can still be realized, as long as the thought is not good, isn't it boring?

The first to discover that the situation on the sea was not right was Harris on Hines's side, he and Mary were both marksmen, good eyesight is the ability to watch the house, and this old brother was serious and almost masochistic, when it was his turn to guard the lookout post, he would naturally not let go of the slightest abnormal movement.

"Admiral, the Skua has sent a flag, and an unknown situation has been found in the port direction!"

Lao Wang happened to be patrolling the deck at this time, and when he heard the shouts of the sailors, he immediately rushed to the side of the ship to set up a telescope to observe.

In the direction indicated by the sailor, the waves up to more than ten meters high are rolling, however, this kind of surge is not caused by the weather, it only churns and roars within a fixed range, except for this sea area, the rest of the sea is very calm, the sun is shining, and the underwater waves are strange and dangerous.

"Didn't you always say that you have been idle lately?" Lao Wang put away the binoculars and threw them to the first mate who followed him, turned around and walked towards the bamboo at the helm, and said in his heart that he remembered to eat and not to beat the things one by one, and really let your crow's mouth say that it was a job.

Mary also saw the movement on the sea, she knew that Lao Wang's words were just joking and angry, so she ignored him and asked directly in the team channel: "Do you know what the way it is, bamboo?"

"That's what I do. Takenaka didn't say a word, and directly launched a spiritual measurement in the surge area, not long, the measurement was completed, Xiaojia glanced at it, and then put the results into the channel and said: "It's a sea creature of a high level, my spiritual power can only measure this thing is called Leviathan, except that the spirit is lower than me, the rest of the attributes are all question marks, and the skills are invisible, but I remind you that its spirit is low, and there are 20 points." ”

"It's not easy to deal with, you look at the size of the surge, this thing is obviously not small, if you fight against us, then it will be fun. Lao Wang also frowned and commented, the strength they had accumulated in Europe with great difficulty, if they were consumed too much in the battle against this kind of sea creature, it would definitely outweigh the losses, everyone knew that the highlight was the competition for the Seven Seas Powerhouse Challenge Book later.

"Did you notify Hines of this?" asked Wang again.

"No, we must have tested it before we found out, didn't you see the Skua approaching us?" Mary said, standing in the port gun position, with her finger out.

"Then prepare first, it's not like we haven't fought, Mary fills the cannon, Boss Tan controls the sailors, the bamboo pipes the boat, I'm still a mobile man, where there is a need to make up. ”

Lao Wang explained to the team members, and then opened his mouth and called the first mate to his side loudly and said: "Ring the bell and close the sails, control the speed, correct the course, don't get too close to that sea area, the White Tulip enters the combat state, notify the rest of the flowers to come closer, and Ferdinand's side, his ship will temporarily go to the tail of the team, and inform him if there is anything." ”

"It's the captain!" the first mate simply agreed, turned around and faithfully carried out the order, leaving the old king at the helm, and continued to observe the movement on the sea with Takenakaichi.

The waves swelled more intensely, and the Leviathan under the water seemed to be dissatisfied with the fact that it was only making waves in place, and after a while, the waves on the surface of the sea instantly became shorter, and turned into a sneaking track dragging white sprays, advancing at high speed in the direction of the fleet.

"Good fellow, it's like a torpedo, I'm afraid there are seventeen or eighteen knots at this speed, right?" Lao Wang took all the changes in his eyes, and he naturally knew it clearly when the Leviathan launched a charge.

"Uncle, I think this is a good thing, you think about the speed when we faced Skulla, and her momentum, we couldn't even raise the will to resist, and this thing, although the speed of coming, but it is still within the normal logic of this world, I think, this is a sign that we can deal with it, if I guess correctly, this is a reasonable level designed by Space for the third step of the mission. Takenaka looked up at Lao Wang and said directly.

"That's reasonable, but at such a fast speed, even if it hits it, it's not a good thing, no one knows about this thing, and we don't know what kind of demon it can do, just to be on the safe side, you better avoid it." Lao Wang nodded.

Takenaka corrected the rudder according to his words, the ship changed direction slightly, the first mate on the deck felt the reaction of the ship under his feet, and then looked at the white line pulled by the sea at high speed, how could he not understand the captain's intentions, and immediately shouted orders, organized the deck sailors, prepare cables to fix themselves, and prepare to meet the enemy.

Seven or eight hundred yards away is only a matter of a minute or two for the Leviathan who broke through the waves, and the product itself is seafood, and the idiom "like a fish in water" is used to describe the great advantage that aquatic organisms can gain in an adapted liquid environment.

The white tulip turned the rudder, and the Leviathan followed, this guy didn't seem to want to be kind to the fleet in front of him from the moment he appeared on the surface, and if it continued like this, it was about to hit the bow of the White Tulip head-on!
