Chapter 393

Suhuilan and Aoki are a little excited. If Ivan and Boris appear on the island, it is likely that situ is also there, and even the whole scientific research team is on the island.

Aoki asked, "how far are we from where the wreckage of the scientific research ship was found?"

He has no research on ocean currents and maritime search and rescue, but his ideas are very clear. Su Huilan and petru both know this knowledge, especially petru. The ocean is his home.

Petru understood what he meant and immediately checked the current specific location through the GPS system. At the same time, he opened the navigation map and asked them where the wreckage was found.

However, to his surprise, he suddenly found that the GPS system failed and could not find any signal. He turned on other communication equipment on the ship. How can there be no advanced equipment on the ship of a fugitive pirate like him? But the problem is that no set of equipment can be connected to satellites in the sky.

"Damn it!" petru slapped the instruments in the cab. "Have we entered any radio blind area? We can't get a signal at all!"

Suhuilan also took out a small signal receiver from her box and connected it to her pad. The result was the same.

Aoki looked at the fog ahead and thought of the encounter of the scientific research ship: "it must be the relationship between these fog."

Su Huilan nodded and said, "we may have fallen into a space bubble."

"Space bubble?" petru listened to Su Huilan's conjectures about three-dimensional and two-dimensional. These ghost scientific knowledge was more terrible in his ears than the legend of sea monsters. "What should we do now? Go to the island or retreat? Should we come again when the fog clears?"

Su Huilan said, "it's too late to retreat, and we can't find the island in Fogless weather. Do you think you found it when it was foggy last time?"

Petru nodded, "that's true."

Aoki said, "don't you always have the location of this island? You haven't found GPS failure before?"

Petru said: "I didn't notice that although the GPS is always on, I often sail by feeling. You know, it's dangerous for a pirate to drive the GPS when he runs away. People like us can travel around the world with a navigation chart. As for here, I found it according to those sheepskin charts. Later, after leaving the island, I checked the positioning. The GPS was good at that time, but it's gone It's far from the island. I calculated the position of the island according to the ship's route and speed, which is basically consistent with the marks on the chart. I don't think our current position will deviate to any place. "

Aoki said, "well, according to your position on the chart, you have a better understanding of maritime affairs. Calculate whether the people on board may drift here after the scientific research ship crash."

Su Huilan operates directly on her pad, which has a map software. She adjusts the map location to the sea area where they are now, and marks with her fingers the location where the wreckage of the scientific research ship was found, which is an uninhabited reef in the southwest of bath islands and just south of tubuai islands.

Then she marked two points on the map according to the marks on the old charts and the position mapped by petru, and asked petru, "this is our current position, this is the position of the triangle on the chart, right?"

Petru looked at the coordinates displayed on the pad and said, "that's right."

Suhuilan was confirmed by petru and operated several times. A straight line was connected between the three points, and a circle appeared with the position of the triangle as the center of the circle, and the other two points fell in the circle. Then, some warm yellow and warm red color changes appeared in the original blue sea area in the whole circle.

Aoki doesn't know what kind of map software this is. He thinks it's very advanced. He guesses that it's some kind of software for military or scientific research. He just doesn't know why Su Huilan, a philosophy professor, understands these things. However, he can't even solve his own mysteries, so he doesn't think about other people's things.

Su Huilan pointed to the center of the circle on the chart and said, "from the target of the scientific research ship and captain church's diary description, the accident area should be at the location of the submarine relic, that is, the triangle marked on the chart, near the intersection of 30 ° south latitude and 150 ° west longitude."

She pointed to another point, "This is the place where the wreckage was found for the first time, about 200 nautical miles from the accident site. This is our current approximate location, about 150 nautical miles from the accident site. But the two places are far away, about 400 nautical miles. Petru, in your experience, if the ship had an accident at this location, is it possible for the wreckage and drifting objects to drift to these two places at the same time."

"It's hard to say. You have to consider ocean currents, monsoons and various possible weather effects and calculate the time. You give me too little information," petru said

Pointing to the changing colors on the picture, Su Huilan said, "this is the simulation diagram of monsoon and ocean current in this sea area for nearly half a year. I just obtained the data from the U.S. Meteorological Administration before I came. Red and yellow are ocean current changes, and white is large-scale cloud changes, including tropical cyclones and storms."

"Oh, what's your software? It's really good! Can you install one on my ship?" petru exclaimed.

"If this mission is over and we are still alive, I'll help you get Ravier out of the Egyptian prison. If you still want to be a pirate at that time, I'll install one for you." Su Huilan said, "but I tell you, this thing was made by the U.S. Navy."

"Oh, forget it," said petru immediately. "This alone is not enough. I also need to know the route and time of the ship you said."

Su Huilan said: "the specific route is not clear. It has been more than half a year since the scientific research ship lost contact. However, we later received the short radio wave sent by them. The time and location of the accident can be roughly determined. It is here. If we calculate that the ship remains have been found since then, it is about 20 days away."

"According to the captain's diary, the last accident should be Christmas day," Aoki added.

"Christmas..." petru carefully stared at the climate change displayed on the pad and said after a while, "judging from my experience, there is no problem with the location of the wreckage. I think you should have found more drifts."

Suhuilan nodded and said, "but no body was found."

"It's normal," petru said, "It's 200 nautical miles away from the accident area. The current velocity here is less than two knots, and it doesn't move in a straight line. In other words, those drifts may have to float on the sea for seven or eight days to get there. More than half a month has passed by the time you find them. If there are bodies, they may have been eaten by sharks or something else."

"Is it possible for them to come here?" Aoki asked.

Petru shook his head and said, "unless they have a lifeboat, or as Professor Su said, it's a space bubble. Since it's a bubble, who the fuck knows if he's floating around!"
