Above the endless sea, the scenery is the same, deep black water. You can't see the change, in the distance, in the distance, as far as the eye can see. The sea and the sky are the same. Sailing on the sea, especially in this kind of ocean, is the most boring. It's also the easiest to get lost.

Tang Zheng was on an ocean-going container ship. With a fully loaded displacement of 100,000 tons, it is one of the few 100,000-ton freighters on this shijie. The ship's registered place is also in Panama. Panamanian-registered freighters are famous throughout Shijie.

The freighter was equipped with a special escort and even some ordinary firearms. This is a very common thing in ocean shipping.

The freighter, despite being equipped with an advanced entertainment audio and video system. However, this boring voyage is still inevitable. Tang Zheng was amazed at the moment. What did those navigators of ancient times rely on to survive?

At the top of the ship's cockpit, there is a small platform, which is also one of the few good places on the ship to breathe.

Tang Zheng stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze. Next to him, Ye Wu and Wu Tiejun both walked up. Ye Wu said slowly: "This time, I'm afraid the country is going to be shocked." ”

Ye Wu's words, Tang Zheng could naturally understand. The elite commandos lost one after another. That's all. The important thing is that the Hidden Dragon Brigade has solved this trouble very simply, and in comparison, the seemingly small gap has been invisibly widened a lot.

It is conceivable that the country must be boiling at this moment, and being surprised by the strong strength of the Hidden Dragon Brigade is bound to. The importance of the Hidden Dragon Brigade will be re-evaluated, and the experimental base will be re-evaluated.

For these. Tang Zheng didn't care much, and said slowly: "This ocean voyage." It's really boring. ”

The words fell, and behind Tang Zheng, a voice suddenly sounded. The captain of the freighter had already come over: "Professor Tang, you have experienced the life of our sailors." ”

The captain of an ocean freighter has a very different surname, and it is also a name taken by many people in China, Shi Xiaoming.

Tang Zheng also smiled and said, "Captain Shi, I really admire you for this trip with you. I'm discovering it now. Every sailor must have a strong heart. Otherwise. This kind of loneliness can definitely be overwhelming. ”

Shi Xiaoming said with a smile: "The current environment is much better. QUITE A FEW CREW MEMBERS PLAYED WITH IPADS. There are also a lot of movie resources to watch. If it had been when I had been a sailor, only novels would have been able to relieve my loneliness.

Suddenly, Ye Wu pointed to the front and said loudly, "Look, a small island has appeared over there." ”

Following the direction of Ye Wu's finger, Tang Zheng also took the opportunity to look over, and it was about five hundred meters in front of the left side of the channel. An island has come into view.

With gradual approach. The whole picture of the island is also revealed, which is an island with a very gentle terrain, high in the east and low in the west. On the island, there are many reefs. There is no vegetation.

And at this very time. The island, however, slowly descended, gradually falling silent in the water. This scene suddenly made Tang Zheng's mouth wide. Tang Zheng was a little shocked when he saw this scene. He really felt the magic of nature.

Just such an island with a radius of about fifty acres was submerged in the sea in the blink of an eye. This is much more intuitive and grandiose than watching a disaster movie.

Beside. Captain Shi said slowly: "Professor Tang, don't you think it's amazing." Actually, it is quite normal for such islands. It's not uncommon in the ocean. We seafarers call this kind of island the island of ghosts. In other words, there is no vegetation on this island, and it is like a ghost. ”

Tang Zheng was also a little shocked. Said slowly: "Captain Shi, is it really a ghost?" ”

Captain Shi smiled and said, "How is it possible, in fact, the altitude of this kind of island is not low. Probably just about a meter or two below sea level. In the middle of the ocean, there are also ebb and flow. At this height, the maximum drop can even reach more than six meters. There are some such islands, at low tide. will be presented, forming islands. At high tide, it is submerged under the sea, a phenomenon that is rarely seen by those of us who sail on the sea all year round. In modern times, science jishu is underdeveloped. On the way out. I saw that there was an island, but on the way back, I found that the island was gone. Hence the name of Ghost Island. ”

The appearance of Ghost Island gave Tang Zheng an extra talking point for his voyage. Before you know it, the freighter has crossed the Indian Ocean and entered the Strait of Malacca, from where it travels back. Freighters do not sail along the high seas coastline, but make a short stop in Singapore before sailing directly from the Pacific side to the middle of the sea.

After arriving here, everyone's mentality becomes happier, which is also a psychological reaction. The road back is long, as we approach the country. Naturally. The mood of the person will be happy, because the way home is in sight.

The islands in the Pacific Ocean are the most numerous, not to mention the Maldives, the holy land of vacation. There are also many island nations scattered around, like pearls, embedded in the Pacific Ocean.

Along the way, Tang Zheng is also used to this kind of life at sea. Every day together, Tang Zheng would habitually walk to the deck and enjoy the sea breeze and sun. Ahead, on the right side of the fairway, about a kilometer or so. A lush island comes into view, near the Palau Islands. On the left side is the outside of the Philippines.

The entire island has about thirty-four acres of daxiao. It is surrounded by fine white sandy beaches. As you can see, there is a well-established port next to it. On the island, there is a huge villa. The whole island is very peaceful.

"This is a private island. In the Pacific Ocean, there are not many here. If you are on the Maldives side, on the Fiji Islands side of the South Pacific, there are many such islands. Captain Shi didn't know when he had already walked over and said with a smile.

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said slowly: "Private island? Captain Shi, what does this mean? ”

Captain Shi didn't laugh at Tang Zheng, he had heard of Tang Zheng's name, this is a famous character in Shijie. In Captain Shi's opinion, he is an excellent scientist. It's normal to be a little weaker in other ways.

Immediately, Captain Shi smiled and said, "Professor Tang, the so-called private island is like a set of real estate. Merely. From a dwelling, it has become an island. On this island, you are the biggest. Because it's all your private territory. Even, over the years, there have been some islands that have never had a territorial dispute. After being discovered, because they don't belong to any country, there are still people who have established a country or something. ”

Private islands have also become more and more prosperous in recent years. There are a number of such private islands for sale in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the South Pacific.

Of course, this is not something that the average person can afford. The island is far from the mainland, and the cost of construction is high. In addition, some have to build private airports, docks, and so on. There are also problems with drinking water, electricity, communications, and so on. There are no hundreds of millions of dollars or more to invest. It's unplayable.

Hearing this news, Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment. Looking at Captain Shi, Tang Zheng said slowly: "Captain Shi, listening to your words, I really have gained knowledge." ”

After Captain Shi left, Tang Zheng's whole person was silent in excitement. The understanding of this aspect seems to have opened Tang Zheng's mind at once. In China, isn't there such or such attention and attention? Since it is not possible to use such a way in China. So why can't you buy a private island like this? With its own strength, there are no problems with wind power, solar power generation, and even tidal power plants. In the case of the network, you can also choose which place with submarine fiber optic cable passes through to directly connect to the submarine fiber optic cable. Alternatively, satellite communications in other ways could also be used. The question of drinking water is naturally to choose which island has a fresh water source.

At this moment, in Tang Zheng's mind, a picture suddenly appeared, in the Pacific Ocean, or in a certain place. On top of a medium-sized island. Several villas, scattered across the island, where the whole family, including the daughters' families, lived. That feeling of joy and family fun.

It can be said that this conversation with Captain Shi completely opened up Tang Zheng's thinking. For your own wedding, you don't have to have that certificate to guarantee anything. Tang Zheng believes that he has the same attitude towards everyone. In this case, if there is such an island, wouldn't it be possible to have a perfect wedding for every woman?

This thought immediately took root in Tang Zheng's mind, and even spread irrepressibly. Even, Tang Zheng felt a little impatient. In my heart, I am pondering, where is the island sold?

The Mediterranean, that doesn't work, it's too far from the Motherland. It's better to be a little closer to the motherland. Thinking of this, Tang Zheng had an idea. Heard. There are also many islands in the south of the Yangtze River and the coastal areas of eastern Guangdong. If you can communicate well with the country and buy an island nearby, it is undoubtedly the most haode.

The rest of the voyage became ordinary. After docking in Manila, unloading quite a few containers, and then filling them with cargo again. The freighter began to enter the South China Sea from this side, and at this moment, it can be regarded as truly returning to the embrace of the country.

And here, the military department also sent a warship to directly pick up Tang Zheng and others. (To be continued......)
