Chapter 270: Dangerous shoals and reefs hide weirdness
โ...... By the way, some time ago I saw a news in the media about a foreign sailor named Johnson in the twenties of the last century, who saw something incredible on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, but he couldn't describe it to people at all, and what he said was unbelievable. Liu Changfu saw that Xie Mingzhou did not speak, and continued.
Now there is a mathematician who thinks he seems to have revealed the secret, and he thinks Johnson is seeing some kind of space-time...... Curvature?...... That's right, it's the curvature of time and space!" Liu Changfu frowned, and said intermittently while trying to remember while organizing the language.
According to the mathematician, this phenomenon is completely foreign to human science today...... If such events can be fully mastered and controlled, it seems that it will be possible to travel through the universe. โ
Liu Changfu finished this passage in a language that he could understand, and looked at Xie Mingzhou and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Xie Mingzhou raised his head and asked, "Did the media news say where this mysterious island is?"
"No, the media only said that it was a mysterious island in the Pacific Ocean, but there was no mention of where it was at all!" It seems to have talked about geometric structures, mathematical models, and so on. โ
The last news shocked Xie Mingzhou, and he vaguely felt that there should be something worth knowing about here, but because he didn't know the specific location of the mysterious island, it was a lot of trouble.
There are more than 20,000 islands in the entire Pacific Ocean, who can know exactly where this mysterious island is? Xie Mingzhou shook his head in disappointment, but he was not ready to give up.
"You must find this island!" Xie Mingzhou said secretly in his heart.
At this moment, Liu Changfu said again: "Mr. Xie, there should be a lot of talk about this matter on the Internet, why don't you go online and take a look?"
A large luxury yacht like the "Bay" must have a satellite communication system on it, and naturally it can also access the Internet, Xie Mingzhou couldn't wait to get to the computer and began to search on the web.
However, to his disappointment, the source of this story turned out to be a film! And what is even more bizarre is that there are still scientists trying to decipher the bizarre phenomenon described by the protagonist in the novel, and one mathematician even claims that based on the description of the protagonist's bizarre encounter on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, they may have seen the visualization of the curvature of space-time, and mastered the technology to travel freely through the universe.
Xie Mingzhou was a little unwilling, he read this book in detail, and even learned about the author of this book, Hยท P. Lovekra, in the end, he found that it was impossible to judge the authenticity of this public information, and he decided to follow the coordinates given in it to check it out on the spot!
47 degrees 9 minutes south latitude and 126 degrees 43 minutes west longitude, which is the specific coordinates given by the protagonist to see those anomalies at that time, Xie Mingzhou checked the map, but found that this is a sea area between New Zealand and the Strait of Magellan.
The water depth of this sea area is nearly 4,000 meters, and there can never be any islands or stone pillars, fortresses and coastlines, most of which are fictional works of the author, so it is no wonder that what he saw was unbelievable. Xie Mingzhou gave up the idea of going to check it out in person.
The "Gulf" continued to sail irregularly in the Pacific Ocean, but there was still no gain, Ghost Island went at an inopportune time, and there was no trace at all, Xie Mingzhou scanned the radius of thousands of miles with his divine mind and found nothing, as for the Split Island and the Rotating Island, there is nothing unusual, they are all some natural phenomena.
After waiting in the Coral Sea for a few days, but still not waiting for the ghost island to appear, Xie Mingzhou decided to return to the sea, there was no harvest at sea, and he was going to explore on land after he went back.
The port of Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, docked for another three days to carry out maintenance, refueling, replenishment and allow the ship's staff to go ashore to rest and rest.
When he returned to the voyage, he decided to take the Singapore route, and then went to the South China Sea by the way.
The work of the ship was somewhat relieved to cross the reef-strewn Torres Strait, a place with shallow reefs and more than 200 islands, a notoriously dangerous waterway.
The next voyage will not be easy, there are many unsurveyed and marked shoals and reefs in the waters of Alafura, but there are Xie Mingzhou, the Phantom Lion King, and the Butterfly Dance three people open the way, and the "Bay" is also thrilling.
The bottom of the Arafura Sea sloped to the west, and the deeper the water became, most of them more than 180 meters, and this time there was no more danger, and the crew who had been nervous for two days could finally change shifts to the deck to relax.
On the west side of the Arafura Sea, there are obviously more fishing boats, basically all of which are deep-sea fishing boats from Southeast Asian countries.
Previously, he found a lot of shipwrecks on the bottom of the East Arafura Sea, especially in the Torres Strait, most of them were fishing boats with nothing good, and only a few merchant ships had some value, but they were not worth his investment.
He turned his mind to the sea to the west, and he had no interest in the scattered fishing boats, which was just a knee-jerk move, and sometimes it might bring him some unexpected gains.
The fishermen of the fishing boats were all dark-skinned, and no one could tell which country they were from in Southeast Asia, Xie Mingzhou was about to go away from the distance, but suddenly found that next to the trench in the northwest, there was a behemoth, staring at these fishing boats!
............
With a "snap", Jiang Hongyi's naked back was slammed by the captain with the tail of a stingray, he only felt a hot and sharp pain coming, and hurriedly bent his hand behind his back to pull out the barb that pierced into the flesh.
The spine of the stingray tail has sharp barbs, and it also secretes venom, and when it pierces the flesh and then pulls it out, the serrations on both sides of the tail spine often cause severe lacerations to the surrounding tissues, and at the same time, there will be poisoning, causing muscle paralysis and even death.
Fortunately, this is a dead stingray, which can no longer secrete a large amount of venom, but its sharp barbs and residual venom still make Jiang Hongyi suffer.
Jiang Hongyi endured the pain in his heart, squatted down again and continued to sort the trash fish in front of him, the slap he was just now, in fact, it was just because he carelessly put the mackerel into the herring basket Such a small thing!
He didn't dare to look at the captain, let alone show a look of resentment, if he was seen by the captain like that, he would definitely suffer a beating!
These Thais, who should have cut a thousand knives, are not just beating people on the boat to make people work, but venting the perverted and abusive psychology caused by floating on the sea for many years!
