Fu Wei said that, but his mood was a little pessimistic.
Looking for the Legendary Super Island, which is not much smaller than the mainland, was ordered by Liu Yan in the eighth year of Yuanshuo... That is, after the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the southern coastal territory was taken over.
We have searched for the super island for seven years, and not a few islands have been explored. The relatively large ones are Luzon (Philippines) and Johor (Malaysia). Every time we explore it, we think we have found the super Island, but after reporting it, it is denied without exception.
It took seven years to accomplish something. Fu Wei didn't think his luck would be so good. As soon as he took office, he could find that super island and fulfill the long cherished wish of the son of heaven.
Bad weather rarely occurs in the rising sea (South China Sea) in spring. That's why the center doesn't care where the three protect the same boat, even Fu Wei and Si Hongzhuang who are familiar with the sea conditions.
In fact, the fleet sailed all the way to the South without even a little thrilling experience. If the scenery along the way was not really good, and if it could continue to meet with independent merchant ships or large-scale fleets, I don't know how boring it should be.
"Sailing at sea is an extremely boring thing." Fu Wei is lying on a rattan chair with an umbrella on his head. He was just wearing a pair of underpants, holding a cup of fruit juice in his hand, sucking it with a straw, swallowing it, turning his head and looking at Qian Jiantong with his eyes closed. He didn't know if he was asleep: "it's normal not to meet anyone else for ten days and a half months, or even longer."
Qian Jiantong is very strange to HNA. He was reminded not to stare at the sunny sea all the time, or he didn't pay much attention because of lack of experience. As a result, there was something wrong with his eyes.
No matter in the world of ice and snow or in the environment of blue sea and blue sky, as long as the sun is sufficient, people really can't always stare at the place where the mapping light is too strong. If it's light, people will temporarily suffer from eye flash and tears, and if it's serious, it's not impossible to go blind directly.
Qian Jiantong has only a small problem with his eyes. In addition to sleeping and staying in the cabin, he must wear sunglasses when he goes on deck.
The so-called sunglasses have long been nothing strange in the Han Empire. Pay attention to sunglasses with crystal lenses at a high price, and glass products at will.
Navy soldiers usually buy more than one pair of sunglasses, mainly black lenses, and the rest buy lenses of other colors with the idea of playing.
If you observe the personnel on the deck, no matter they are working or wandering, everyone is wearing a pair of sunglasses. If they don't still have their hair tied, or they wear sunglasses, most of them just wear underpants. If they just see it, they really can't tell whether they are ancient people or not.
A noise came from other ships. Carefully identify it. It was a large group of dolphins chasing the fleet.
On the sea, from time to time, there will be a figure in the air. They flash past and rush into the sea again. The speed is very fast.
Qian Jiantong was attracted to the side of the shipboard, looked at the rear side against the guardrail, saw those white figures fluttering from time to time, and asked in wonder, "what kind of fish is it?"
Fu Wei happened to come over, looked at it and said, "it's a white dolphin."
"Ah, what's the matter?" Qian Jiantong was a little stunned: "the dolphin in the sea?"
Dolphins refer to pigs in the dictionary of summer, and the "pig" is the general term for pigs. "*" refers to pigs that hind legs can not stand upright.
"No problem, it's the dolphin in the sea. Your majesty calls it dolphin." Fu Wei had no curiosity about dolphins for a long time, but he also knew that white dolphins were very rare. It was easy to meet blue, black and striped dolphins: "the Navy caught some dolphins and presented them to his majesty. His majesty called the kind of white dolphins we see now 'Chinese white sea dolphin', and specifically ordered that they should not be killed."
At present, Zhuxia has many self proclaimed names, such as Huaxia, Zhuxia, China, China and the Central Plains. However, the concept of "China" proposed by Zhong Xin in A.D. 300 has not been popularized.
Liu Yan is a "person who controls the world". Even if he just speaks casually, it is worth too many people to ponder and study. When he mentioned the word "China", people understood it as the collective name of "central country" and "China". At the same time, they also thought that this word was first mentioned by Liu Yan.
In fact, that understanding is right. In history, the word "China" is a collective name, but it needs to be added to the national name by 1912. Since then, "China" has the meaning of a modern country; Geographically, "China" refers not only to the Central Plains, but to the whole territory of China; In terms of nationality, it does not just refer to the Han nationality, but all nationalities living within China's territory, including Chinese and ethnic Chinese living overseas.
At present, "Chinese white dolphins" appear not many times in the southern coast of the Han Empire, but they are found in many places.
In modern times, the "Chinese white dolphin" has become a completely rare species. It is difficult to find so little. Only northern Australia, the Indian Ocean coast of Africa and the Pacific coast of Southeast Asia are left.
"Look." Fu Wei pointed to another sea area and put down his telescope: "the blue and striped came to join the fun."
Qian Jiantong is not familiar with the ocean and has enough curiosity about marine creatures he has never seen. He also looked in another direction with a telescope in his hand. He really saw dolphins of different colors.
"In fact, I can understand..." Qian Jian thought with the same face: "people are divided into yellow, white, black and brown. Naturally, dolphins in the sea also have different groups of skin."
Fu Wei really didn't think in this direction. He was stunned, and then nodded in agreement.
"What's that?" Qian Jiantong was suddenly surprised or confused with worry. His finger saw the position: "a large moving shadow."
Looking from the sky to the sea, the dark shadows are constantly moving in the sea, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and there is no fixed law.
Fu Wei was surprised by Qian Jiantong's nervous performance. He raised his telescope and observed it hard. He smiled and said, "migratory fish."
Qian Jiantong thought it was a giant beast in the sea. When he heard that it was the shadow of an exaggerated number of fish gathering together, he showed an embarrassing smile. He just wanted to say something, but when he heard the sound of the bell from the ships outside, he asked, "do you want to cast a net for fishing?"
"Fishing?" Fu Wei has begun to turn around and walk towards the bridge. As he walks, he says, "what fish to catch is to avoid the route and avoid accidents."
Qian Jiantong was stunned and wondered if the ship would be attacked by those fish?
Don't say, it's really Jiantong to Qian and Mengzhong, but it's not a real attack, but more like a suicide impact.
A large number of fish flock together. They will not only swim in the sea, but also perform a flutter shuttle when some fish rise close to the sea level.
The accident mentioned by Fu Wei is not that fish collide with ships. It is that when fish migrate, they will be followed by some big guys.
Almost when Fu Wei arrived at the bridge, he saw a huge figure jumping out of the water in the distance before he stood still.
“!!!” Qian Jiantong unconsciously opened his mouth when he saw the picture: "good, big..."
That huge figure is definitely more than 20 meters long, with blue and white spots on the back and beige on the abdomen.
The spot is not its original skin color. Its original skin color is blue-gray. The spot is actually left by the resident organisms of some shellfish.
Qian Jiantong was stunned and did not return to his mind. In the distance, a huge figure fluttered up.
The body of this one is bigger than just now. It should be close to 30 meters by visual inspection.
"There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that it can't be thousands of miles away. When it turns into a bird, it's called Peng. Peng's back can't be thousands of miles away; when it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. If it's a bird, it will migrate to the southern underworld by sea. If it's in the southern underworld, it's the Tianchi Lake."
Qian Jiantong turned around when he heard the voice and saw Si Hongzhuang with a smiling face.
"Of course it's not Kunpeng, it's whale." Si Hongzhuang felt that he was a person who had seen the market. With a full sense of superiority, he said to Qian Jiantong, who still had a shocked look on his face: "isn't he surprised, isn't it amazing?"
The previous paragraph is of course a fragment of the book of mountains and seas. At present, there is a Book of the book of mountains and seas, but the version is different from that of later generations. To put it bluntly, the book of mountains and seas is not written by one person, but continuously supplemented and completed by some people in different times. The current book of mountains and seas is an unfinished work, missing the content after the two Jin Dynasties.
"There are birds, whose shape is like Zhai, and five caiwen, named Luan bird, is peaceful when you see it." Si Hongzhuang asked with a bad smile, "must have read it?"
Qian Jian nodded with a wooden face.
"That's the peacock." Si Hongzhuang continued to read: "two hundred miles north," the mountain of North Yue, and many of them. * there are animals that are like cattle, and four horns, human eyes and ears. They call it "Huai". Its voice is like a wild goose, it is cannibalism. The water of all bosom is absent, and the West flows into the water, many of which are fish.
"I see." Qian Jiantong said with an ugly face, "it means rhinoceros."
In the past, the Han people just lived in the old land of Zhuxia. When they read the book of mountains and seas, they were reading a magical book of goblins and monsters.
Waiting for the footsteps of the Han people to move towards the land of Zhuxia, we can constantly find some animals that are no different from the animals described in the book of mountains and seas.
One or two can be a coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence to constantly find the "divine beast" described in the book of mountains and seas.
They should be surprised and shocked that for a long time, some ancestors stepped out of the clan land, walked more than a few miles away, and could safely return to the clan land, leaving behind what they had seen and heard in words?
Fleet is evading and will not bump into it foolishly. That's experience given by painful lessons.
The Han people didn't go out of the land and face the sea until the present age. It is tantamount to starting from a stage where they don't understand anything and have no long accumulated experience.
Because of the existence of a bug like Liu Yan, the Han people's exploration of the ocean is different from that of any nation.
Every nation in the world, when it comes to unfamiliar fields, finds things they have not touched by chance and gradually explores them bit by bit over a long period of time.
Contemporary Han people are not like that. From the beginning, they rushed into a new field of exploring the ocean. Almost without any experience, they surrounded the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, carried out wanton fishing and recklessly ran amuck.
As early as the second year of Yuanshuo, there had been an accident in which a ship was overturned by a whale, and similar damage occurred frequently.
People will face up to painful lessons. If they really pay attention to it, they will certainly study it. They know that once a large number of fish gather, whales and fish will generally follow.
"What's that?" Qian Jiantong raised his hand and pointed not far away: "it's the triangular thing that moves very fast on the sea!"
Si Hongzhuang looked, his face remained unchanged and gave the answer: "fin."
"What?" Qian Jiantong is not only unfamiliar with the ocean, but also doesn't understand some characteristics of fish. He just knows that there is no danger in Si Hongzhuang's expression: "how fast!"
"Sharks are bloodthirsty creatures." Si Hongzhuang can see what misunderstanding Qian Jiantong has, but he doesn't want to misunderstand Qian Jiantong because of his words today: "whales with incomparably large bodies won't take the initiative to attack, sharks are different."
In fact, if Qian Jiantong paid more attention, he would never have a blank understanding of marine life... At least not whales and sharks.
After all, it was not a short time for the Han Empire to carry out marine fishery. In particular, the fishery in the eastern sea area was very developed, and there was no shortage of whales and sharks. In particular, there was a complete set of operations in whaling, which also extended a lot of aspects.
It happened that Qian Jiantong saw a shark sticking out of the water and saw the sharp teeth of that mouth biting a dolphin. For a moment, the sea area was blood red, and then more fins appeared in that sea area.
"See." Si Hongzhuang explained: "there are not many sharks in the offshore waters of Dahan. The coastal areas of Indochina Peninsula and assan are different."
"This creature called shark will take the initiative to attack ships?" Qian Jiantong must understand this: "have you ever hunted sharks?"
"Of course." Si Hongzhuang, who had worked as a lieutenant of pingman's Department, said, "it's good to kill. As long as there is a smell of blood, they will come one after another regardless of everything."
In an instant, Qian Jiantong had at least four plans to carry out planned slaughter when he was troubled by sharks. He heard very clearly just now. There were sharks along the coast of ah San!
