"You see, this red line should be the route they sailed."

The nautical charts were unexpectedly preserved, and the logbooks that were put together with the nautical charts had been blown to shreds, and even the thick partitions were blown to powder, but the nautical charts could still be preserved. The probability of such a coincidence happening is a little surprising to me.

"Judging from the nautical charts, although they have made more detailed annotations and drawings, the probability of our success in following the nautical charts is not high. There are many places where there are no references, you can only take one step at a time, and this nautical chart is not complete. "There are many veterans of navigation under Sha Lao, and they can understand this kind of navigation chart at a glance.

"Has the restoration of the logbook begun?" Sha Lao asked.

"It has already begun, but the repair is very difficult, and we conservatively estimate that the repair of the logbook will take at least half a year or even more than a year." This kind of work is not efficient work, just like archaeology, you can only work slowly and carefully, and the more you want to improve efficiency, the higher the error rate.

Sha Lao frowned, obviously there was not so much time left for Sha Lao, his physical condition was getting worse, and I often saw the team doctor hanging water for Sha Lao in the middle of the night. Secondly, the wind outside is getting tighter and tighter, and the gossip is spreading all over the sky, and Deputy Director Xia's people are also eyeing it, and at this time, it will take a year to wait for the log to be repaired, which is almost impossible.

"You continue to study the nautical charts, the whole army will rest for three days, and after three days we will have an operational discussion." Sha Lao looked a little tired, waved his hand and walked out of the room on crutches.

The fat man and I didn't stay in the room, squatting on the edge of the platform to smoke, looking at the sea in the distance, the appearance of water creeps seemed to warn me that there are infinite possibilities in this sea, earth beasts, monsters, fairy ancient gods, many of the big people in those mythological stories are from the sea.

"Do you think the Immortal Mountain really exists?" The fat man walked up to me and handed me a cigarette.

I took it and lit the cigarette, then smiled and said, "It should exist, after all, there is so much evidence that it exists." ”

"I've been dreaming a lot lately, hehe......" The fat man smiled, I glanced at him and said, "What kind of dream?" Dream? You kid misses women, don't you? ”

"! What a spring dream, but although it is not a spring dream, it is also a beautiful dream, I dreamed that I met a fairy, and the appearance of the fairy is like the old Taoist priest in Journey to the West, with gray hair, old beard, and the fairy wind and bones are very extraordinary at a glance. He smiled every time he saw me, and I asked him in my dreams what the hell he was looking for me. He didn't speak, just laughed, and grabbed my hand and led me to the sky, the first fucking time I flew into the sky, not to mention how happy I was. ”

"Eh, if you put it in broad daylight, you're daydreaming, and you're a fucking fairy?" I squeezed him angrily, and he smiled, nodded and said nothing.

Sha Lao's physical condition seems to be getting worse and worse, and Chen Tangzi's hexagram calculation has always been very accurate. I asked the doctor who accompanied the team, and the doctor said a lot of professional terms that I didn't understand at all, but the last analogy was very vivid, the doctor said that Sha Lao is like a car that is close to being scrapped, although it can still be driven, but it will break down at every turn.

Three days later, Sha Lao made a decision to rely on the interpretation of the navigation charts to explore the Xianshan Pier without a logbook. Of course, it is impossible to move the entire platform in the process of exploration, and the fleet will gather one after another in the next half a month, a total of twenty ships, except for the three ships in our center that store materials and equipment, the other eighteen are frigate-level warships, and the scale of the pen is astonishing.

"This time, so many warships were launched in the name of military exercises, and our strength this time is much stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty." Uncle A said with a smile.

I didn't say a word next to me, in front of the powerful demon clan, your boat is still a dish in people's mouths.

According to the nautical charts, the fleet departed, the speed of sailing was never too fast, and the direction was constantly adjusted. However, we are still sailing at the same speed as we did in the old days, and in the first few days the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the fat man and I would still fish on the deck when we had nothing to do, but within a few days of traveling, things began to change.

"It's still fucking cloudy today, what's going on?" I looked out the window, the sky was overcast, and there were thunder and lightning flashing in the clouds from time to time, but it never rained, and the first mate of our ship was a very good man, and always chatted with us when we had nothing to do.

"Don't look at the bad weather now, our manager will be much more terrible than this situation in the future. There have been several storms, and the huge waves can lift a 10,000-ton freighter like ours entirely, you can't imagine! He smoked a cigarette and laughed.

"What's wrong? Isn't it common for strange things to happen at sea? Luo Qiong asked curiously.

"If you want to talk about strange things, the one I remember the most is probably what happened three years ago. At that time, I was out to sea with a fishing boat and went to work at the fish spot five days after departure. At first, it was quite smooth, but I didn't expect them to catch a big golden fish from the sea. It was a fish I had never seen before, covered in golden scales, golden in the sun. We felt that we would make a lot of money by catching such a beautiful fish this time and selling it to the owners of those rich hotels. However, an old sailor on the ship at the time said that the fish was the child of the god of the sea, and let us let it go, otherwise something would happen. We all wanted to get rich, and no one paid any attention to him. Unexpectedly, the weather began to change drastically from the next day, and the storm never stopped, and our fishing boat was like a leaf floating in the water, as if it would capsize at any time. That feeling...... How so? It's as if the gods are playing with our ships with their big hands that we can't see. Later, the big guys were scared and thought that the old sailor was right. I quickly released the golden fish back into the sea. Hey, don't mention, as soon as the golden fish swam into the sea, the water immediately calmed down, and the wind and waves disappeared. It's only five or six minutes before and after, and you don't think it's weird. ”

Everyone was a little fascinated by what they heard, and I smiled and said, "Don't be the baby of the big monster you you caught, so the big monster deliberately came out to mess with you, haha!" ”

"Okay, it's not early, you guys rest early. Judging from the current progress, it is estimated that something is going to happen when it enters the range of the hoop drawn in the nautical chart from tomorrow. ”

The chart is marked with three circles, the outermost one being the basket ring, followed by the wrapped red circle, and the innermost black circle. If I'm not mistaken, these three circles represent a special range.

The next day, because the cabin was shaking at night, I didn't sleep well, and I fell asleep at three or four o'clock in the morning. But I felt like I had slept for four hours, and I was woken up. Then I heard Luo Qiong shouting at me: "Brother Shan, come quickly, there is a situation outside." ”

I opened my eyes, grabbed my coat and walked out, and then shouted, "Go, go out and have a look." ”

The deck was full of people, sailors, crew, and 507 people. I squeezed through the crowd and stood next to the fat man, who pointed to the front and said, "Just like Uncle Sun of the fishing village said, we are really close to this range." ”

I looked up and saw that I should be in the hoop today, and what appeared in front of me was a small hill, about thirty meters above the water, and it was pitch black and sharp at the top, and it gave me the feeling that it was both a hill and a tooth.

"Uncle Sun is right......" I muttered and turned my head to look further away, the fleet around me slowed down and moved forward, and there was no such hill as far as the eye could see, the water was quiet, but the sky was gloomy, and there was a strange wind blowing in my face, and the wind seemed to have a faint smell.

"All fleets are combat-ready, all are on first-class alert." The man next to him said.

Just then, I heard some strange noises in the distance, like the "whining ......" sound of a strong wind.
