Everyone confirmed my words and was equally surprised.

"So you'll have to listen to me. Because I have this. I stretched out my right hand to reveal a mechanical watch: "Generally speaking, if you get lost at sea, you can't tell the direction." Then divide the time by 2 and the number you get is in the direction of the sun, so that the direction of 12 o'clock is north. ”

As I spoke, I adjusted the hands on my watch: "For example, this watch shows that it's seven o'clock in the morning. Divide 7 by 2 to get 3.5, and align 3.30 in the direction of the sun, then the direction of 12 is north. ”

"But there's no sun right now." Graduate Song Ying's aura weakened by my professional explanation.

"It's true that there is no sun, but since we are all lost. Then you can only assume where the sun is, and then lock that position. In this way, at least during the boat ride behind, you can walk in a straight line without going around the corner. I pouted: "Besides, everyone always needs someone who carries the black pot." If I do point the wrong way, everyone is welcome to scold me when the time comes. ”

The truth made everyone stunned.

Captain Zou Hui touched his nose and smiled dryly in agreement: "The method that Mr. Ye Buyu said is indeed the best plan now." ”

Seeing that the sailors were all in favor, no one else said anything. The ship's engine started successfully, and the propeller spun to break through the calm stagnant water and began to move in the direction I pointed.

Sailing in a place where there are no references is very boring, and there is no view at all. Everyone in the cockpit found a place where they felt comfortable and sat down, quietly thinking about their own things.

Niuniu, the ancient spirit spirit, was not idle, she secretly pulled my ears and said seriously: "Brother, now, is it really seven o'clock in the morning?" ”

I looked at her and, eventually, shook my head, "No. I'm talking nonsense. ”

"What time does it stop?" Little Lori's face suddenly turned bad.

"I found the fog and the moment the boat was full of people missing. Mechanical watches, it seems, stopped. I tugged at the corners of my mouth, full of bitterness: "Last night at 8:23." It was only twenty-three minutes longer than the time on the phone. ”

"So the time is wrong, and the position of the sun is also assumed." Niuniu's tone was trembling: "Then can this ship really keep moving forward accurately?" ”

"Hell knows!" I ended the conversation, my eyes straight ahead.

The black, reddened water never waved, and the Oriental Cruise did not look like it was moving on the water at all, but like it was sliding on ice. Yin Hong, who is thick in black water, is like fermented blood, filthy.

The ship was advancing, but there was no goal. For some reason, I had a sense of foreboding. Maybe we will never find land, we will never reach the shore. All of us will die on board.

No one can leave!

In the whole world, only the engine and the propeller are transmitting the sound of being alive. It's monotonous, boring, and maddening. In this era of smartphone popularity, no one seems to care about time, as the most basic function of smartphones. It can be once this function is missing, or even only this function is gone.

Obviously, you can still watch the videos stored on your phone, but no one is interested in watching them. People who are bored are checking what is wrong with their phones, and people who are not bored, but they are in a daze.

Without the tools to measure the time it takes to calculate the speed of the pass, it's very difficult.

As the ship progressed, the sky grew brighter and brighter. But as far as the eye can see, there is still only water! Water! Water! Dirty water! There was nothing on the river, and it was not clear how far it had gone.

I kept watching the situation outside the ship, and the more I looked, the more I couldn't figure out what was going on. The sky was gray, and the canopy was very low, and it was extremely depressing to see people's hearts.

It's this gray sky, and I can't really describe what it is. It is said to be the sky, but there is no trace of the sky, like a miserable white paper pasted in the sky.

"Brother, I'm a little scared." Niuniu next to her is a child after all, and in this weird river, she leans on me tightly. Zheng Xiaotong, who was not far away, raised his head and walked over in a few steps: "Mr. Night Silence, Niuniu." Don't you think there's something weird about these waters? ”

Her face was very serious.

I nodded, "I feel the same way." ”

"I suspect this is not on Earth anymore!" The girl is very serious.

Niu Niu blinked: "Sister, you mean we were hijacked by aliens?" ”

"Little sister, I'm not kidding." Zheng Xiaotong bit his lip a few times, and seemed to have made a decision: "I want to tell you something, a very important thing about me." I have had a strange disease since I was a child. It is said that the full name is very long, but it is commonly called 'rotation syndrome'. I dizzy the earth to rotate. As long as it's on flat ground or in a place that doesn't shake, if I don't take a specific drug, I'll get nausea and vomiting. ”

The fact that Zheng Xiaotong said, Niuniu and I had already guessed when we got on the boat, but we weren't too surprised. But I don't understand why she is suddenly serious about saying it now.

"Generally speaking, the waves of the Yangtze River are very large, and the Oriental Cruise is very small. So it's bumpy enough that my illness won't be committed. So after getting on the boat, I didn't take any more medication. The girl's face showed panic: "But just now I actually realized a problem." ”

She glanced outside: "The boat has been completely free of wind and waves in this basin, and it has been stopped for so long without shaking. And I didn't take medicine, but I didn't get dizzy about the rotation of the earth. How is this possible! I know my illness, very sick. Such a stable situation is absolutely impossible. Unless ......"

Niuniu and I suddenly felt chills all over our bodies.

"Unless, you don't feel the Earth spinning anymore!?" My hairs stand on end.

Zheng Xiaotong nodded and said, "That's why I guess that we may no longer be on Earth." ”

"If this is not Earth, what is it? The air here we can breathe and there is water, although the water is a little dirty. And the temperature, although it's a little colder. Niu Niu shook her head vigorously, obviously thinking that this inference was not valid.

And I don't think it's very likely: "I have learned a little about the conversion disease. The feeling of a person suffering from this disease is completely based on the measured balance of fluid in the inner ear vortex, which is very subjective. I suspect that the fact that your illness did not flare up may be due to changes in the latitude and longitude of the Earth. ”

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xiaotong didn't understand.

This means that your illness is mainly affected by the rotation of the earth. But can you really resist the Earth's rotation by boat? What's the furthest you've ever been? I asked.
