"Black Snake Island, I haven't heard of it, within the 100 nautical miles you circled, there are indeed more than a dozen islands and rings, the most famous is Bikini Atoll. This bikini ring is very famous, at 11°35'N latitude and 165°25'E longitude. It consists of 36 reefs, including a lagoon, 35 km long and 17 km wide, covering an area of 229.4 square miles (594.1 km2). It was first under German administration, and after World War I, the area was given to the Japanese army, who had been stationed on the atoll during World War II. It was not until 1944 that the United States occupied it, and in 1946 the United States moved its inhabitants to the southern islands of Rongeric and Kiely, where they were used as a nuclear weapons testing base. From 1946 to 1958, the United States carried out more than 20 atomic and hydrogen bombs here."

In an older office, a balding old man talks to four people. He looked at a map of the world on the wall and drew a small circle in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, halfway between Asia, Oceania, and North America. The four people in front of the old man were Soria, Brother Qiang, Lao Niu and Ma Qian.

The location is an office at the China University of Geosciences, and this balding old man is the famous geographer Yu in China. Qiang Getuo found this old expert, just to ask the expert to analyze what mysterious islands are in this small circle circled by Lao Niu and Ma Qian on the map.

It seems that the professor who the four people are looking for today is the right person, and the old gentleman is very familiar with the environment and islands of the Pacific Ocean. The changes of the island in various periods of history are also very good. When Mr. Yu mentioned that Bikini Atoll and the surrounding islands were occupied by Japan before 1944, his eyes became bright, and it seemed that there was a door!

Brother Qiang cupped his eyes and asked, "Teacher Yu, why is this American nuclear test base called such a sexy name?" ”

The weather was very hot, and there was no air conditioning in Professor Yu's office, so the old gentleman wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Do you mean swimsuits?" Let me tell you, this atoll was originally called a bikini, but it was renamed because it collided with a special event in a specific historical period. It was also in that era that the world fashion industry invented a swimsuit that was almost the same as women's underwear, because this kind of swimsuit was quite exposed, completely breaking through the bottom line of people's traditional thinking at that time, and the inventor believed that its influence was tantamount to a nuclear explosion, because the site of the nuclear explosion was in the bikini atoll, the swimsuit was called a bikini swimsuit.

"Oh, that's the case, we've been wearing swimsuits for decades, but I didn't expect the name of the swimsuit to be a place name, and it's still in the distant Pacific Ocean, talking to Old Yushi, it's really a long knowledge!" Not only did Brother Qiang gain knowledge, but Ma Qian, Soria and others also knew for the first time that the bikini swimsuit was actually related to an atoll in the Pacific Ocean, and this atoll wouldn't be Black Snake Island, right?

Ma Qian then asked, "Teacher Yu, do you know the names of other islands in this area?" Which country administers these islands now? ”

Old experts like Professor Yu are very conceited about what they know, and they always feel that these young people who don't know anything about the world are very pathetic. Therefore, when he explained some geographical knowledge to everyone, he had a questioning attitude.

"I mean, you young people, I really don't know what you've learned, but how much you know about the world. This kind of land boundary problem must be understood, otherwise it will suffer a big loss, you know? ”

Ma Qian, Lao Niu and others all lowered their heads and responded to the old professor: "Yes, Teacher Yu, you are right, we must study hard and live up to the teacher's teachings."

Only Soria was silent, she laughed secretly in her heart, she didn't know why this old gentleman suddenly changed his face.

Professor Yu continued: "Let me tell you, it belongs to the Republic of Marshall, which was established in 1986. The Republic of the Marshall Islands is an island nation located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, part of the Micronesian archipelago. It is about 3,200 kilometers southwest of Hawaii and about 2,100 kilometers southeast of Guam. The Marshall Islands were occupied by Spain, Germany, Japan and the United States, and its predecessor was one of the four political entities of the United States-mandated Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. During the U.S. mandate, the Marshall Islands were an important U.S. nuclear and missile testing site, where the U.S. conducted 67 nuclear tests, 23 of which were conducted at the country's Bikini Atoll, making Bikini famous. As for the area you circled, it's actually the northern edge of the Marshall Republic, where only Bikini Atoll and Langlapu Atoll are famous. The other atolls and islands are so small that many of them have no people or animals, and most of them have no names. But both of these atolls are on the south side of this circle of your circle, not at the central point."

Professor Yu lifted his glasses and continued: "Young man, this sea area is very dangerous, there are very few people, I don't know what you want to do there." I warn you, don't make any disturbances there, whether there are shipwrecks or minerals in the sea, don't act rashly, it's not our territory, I've heard that there are many natives and pirates there."

What a rigid and upright intellectual. Brother Qiang and the others nodded frequently, afraid that Professor Yu would be angry. In the end, the four of them finally thanked him and left Professor Yu's office and returned to the "Four Seas Guilong International Trade Company" located in the Friendship Hotel.

Zhao Qingmai, Zhao Baixiong, Nuo Rilang and others are waiting for everyone's return, and seeing a few people coming back with smiles on their faces, it is estimated that the harvest this time must be not small.

In the conference room, Lao Niu once again opened a large picture, which had countless dots and dots. These people have studied this diagram many times. This picture is the picture left by the old man Xingtuo at the bottom of the Mekong River, and the map should indicate the location of Black Snake Island.

After returning to Beijing, several people began to immerse themselves in research, and there were only three locations on the map, one was Japan in the upper left, one was a bunch of small islands in the upper right, and one was a continent below, which was larger than Japan, and only a part of it was reflected on the map, and the middle position was all seawater.

At first, everyone thought that the continent below was Australia, but it was later ruled out, and it was confirmed that it was not a continent, it was still an island, and it should be Papua New Guinea. And the bunch of islands in the upper right is most likely Hawaii.

Everyone wondered why Xingtuo drew three unrelated islands, Japan, Hawaii, and Papua New Guinea, instead of marking the specific location of Black Snake Island. Even if they knew these three islands, it was useless, and everyone thought through their heads, but they didn't come up with the reason.

It was also yesterday that Lao Niu looked at the map again, and he connected the three capitals with a line to form a triangle. And they drew a line in the middle of the three corners to the opposite side, and these three sheets almost intersected, and in the middle of the three lines, a small triangle was formed, and the oxen circled this small triangle with a red line. He thinks there is something wrong with this area, and that area is the 100 nautical mile area that Professor Yu pointed out today.

Today's words by Professor Yu can be regarded as piercing this layer of window paper. There must be something wrong with that group of small islands on the border of the Marshall Islands. Because it was occupied by the Japanese during World War II, the Japanese army must have built fortifications on a certain island, and Black Snake Island must have been in that area.

As soon as everyone sat down in the conference room, when Lao Niu opened the map, everyone had unanimously agreed that Black Snake Island was near Bikini Atoll. This is especially true in the area within 90 nautical miles north of Bikini Atoll, which has never been described in the media as a mysterious area.

"Are we going to go out of the Pacific Ocean to get back 1,000 tons of gold from the Japanese army?" Zhao Baixiong's eyes lit up, and he felt that since the location had been decided, he would go and get it.

Soria looked at Ma Qian, she was asking for Ma Qian's opinion, and Ma Qian glanced at the cow.

"It was difficult to go to sea to find the island, and this time the distance was too far, and it was more than 6,000 kilometers away from the coastline of Fujian, China. Moreover, the climate in the hinterland of the Pacific Ocean is changeable, and it will be troublesome once it encounters bad weather, and now it is the season of summer and autumn, and the monsoon is frequent, and the sea is too dangerous. Besides, those of us who go abroad need to open up relations with many countries, which is even more difficult."

Although Lao Niu did not object to going to the Pacific Ocean to find the island, the objective problems he said also showed that finding Black Snake Island was tantamount to being more difficult than climbing to the sky. Everyone was silent, waiting for Soria to make an idea.

"My esteemed warriors, our mission is to take risks, to accomplish the impossible. If all of the above problems are likely to be solved, and none of them are a problem, will you all agree to go to Black Snake Island? ”

Ma Qian nodded, Lao Niu nodded, and Nuo Rilang nodded,......

"Since everyone has agreed to go to Black Snake Island to find gold, then all the things will be solved by me and Brother Qiang, in late October, after the monsoon is over, we will send our troops to the Pacific Ocean and reach Black Snake Island!"

Soria's words were sonorous and powerful, and they mobilized the emotions of a group of big men. Originally, everyone didn't need to move, Black Snake Island is the topic that everyone has mentioned the most recently, and it is imperative to go to Black Snake Island. Everyone just waits for everything to be ready, now that the position has been locked, and Miss Soria has given the order, let's prepare separately!

"In two months, we will set off in two months, and this time the main team members will be us, and if possible, my father will go with us."

Her father went with her? Mr. Burke? Everyone was stunned.
