C874

Xiong Yu looked at the small words on the ring, and his heart moved. Wasn't the second year of Xuantong the year of 1910?

It was the most chaotic period in China, the last year of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the eve of the first World War.

However, how could this ring engraved with Chinese characters appear in the mouth of a fish?

Xiong Yu was puzzled. He could not get any more information with only one ring. After thinking for a moment, Xiong Yu murmured to himself, "maybe I think too much. This ring should just fall into the sea by accident and be eaten by the fish."

Xiong Yu carefully put away the ring and stopped thinking about it. He continued to fish with Bao Sanjing.

About an hour later.

Xiong Yu looked at the watch on his mobile phone, looked up at Riyue Island, flashed a color in his eyes, and said, "it seems that something is wrong. According to the previous plan, isn't it an hour before we arrive at Riyue island?"

Bao San Jin didn't notice the abnormality. He said casually, "yes, it should be coming soon. What's the matter?"

Xiong Yu's face changed slightly and said, "now an hour has passed."

Bao Sanjin also looked at the time with a puzzled look on his face. Then he looked at the opposite direction of Sun Moon Island and said in surprise, "well, how do I feel that the distance between Sun Moon Island and Sun Moon Island is still so far? I'll go and ask if the captain is going in the wrong direction."

"Captain, Captain, where are you now? Why haven't you arrived?" Bao Sanjin yelled at the walkie talkie.

The walkie talkie was silent for a while, then a slightly alarmed voice appeared, saying: "there is something unusual in this sea area. I have been driving in the direction of Sun Moon Island, but I have not arrived. It seems that I am circling around in the same place."

Bao Sanjin's face changed. He immediately remembered what he had seen about the sea area when he came here. He called to the walkie talkie again: "is there something wrong with the navigation system on the ship?"

The captain replied, "the positioning system and the navigation system are all out of order. Now we can only judge by the naked eye."

Bao Sanjin said in a deep voice, "have you ever encountered this kind of situation at sea before?"

The captain replied, "I've never met this kind of situation. However, I have a friend who met it once, and then escaped after a near death experience. I haven't asked too much about his specific situation. I don't know how he finally got out."

Bao Sankin was silent, took a look at Xiong Yu and sighed: "maybe something happened."

Xiong Yu took a deep breath, looked at the endless sea, and suddenly said, "can the outline of the island we see be just a mirage?"

Bao Sankin was stunned and said, "mirage? It's impossible. Before our positioning system failed, it showed that we were around Sun Moon Island

Xiong Yu was also puzzled. From the sea, in addition to the endless sea, the outline of the Sun Moon Island in front of him, coupled with the previous navigation and positioning, it did not look like a mirage.

However, if it is not a mirage, what can it be?

Xiong Yu thought for a moment and said to Bao Sanjing, "let's go and have a look at the ship's cab."

Bao Sanjin nodded, got up, threw the fishing rod aside, and with Xiong Yu walked toward the cab of the ship.

In the cockpit, a captain in his 40s with a thick beard was watching the various instruments in the cabin nervously. When Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjing came in, he said hello to them.

Xiong Yu walked into the cab and directly said to the captain, "before I came here, I carefully read the map. The Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast of our current position."

The captain looked at Xiong Yu unexpectedly and said, "you are right. In my experience, the island should also be in the northeast of our country."

Xiong Yu asked, "can you tell the direction?"

The captain shook his head: "on the sea, there is no reference at all, and we can't distinguish the direction. But now we can see the outline of the island. We have been driving towards this contour. There should be no mistake."

Xiong Yu frowned and said with some uncertainty, "is the outline we see true? I am a doctor, and I have done some research on human eyes. If we stay in a place without reference for a long time, our eyes may cheat us and produce some deviant hallucinations

The captain was stunned for a moment. Ning Mei thought for a moment and said, "yes, when I was just learning to sail, an old captain also said that. It's just that over the years, we've been used to electronic navigation, and we've forgotten about it."

Through the window glass in the driver's cab, Xiong Yu looked at the vague outline of the Sun Moon Island. After a long time, he said again, "the electronic navigation system is out of order. Why don't you try using a compass to find the direction?"

The captain was stunned for a moment and said, "now it's all electronic navigation. Who's going to bring that old game?"

Xiong Yu laughed and said, "it's just what I'm carrying."

As Xiong Yu said, he went to the luggage room again and again. He found a compass bought from the black market from his messy things.Nowadays, many ships have modern navigation equipment and advanced satellite positioning, so they basically give up the compass. When Xiong Yu came, he left a hand and brought the guide array.

The compass is placed in the cab, and after shaking, it specifies a direction.

As soon as the captain looked at the designated direction, his face suddenly changed and said, "we are going in the wrong direction."

Xiong Yu was also a little surprised. Previously it was just a guess, but now they have deviated from the direction of Sun Moon Island according to the direction specified by the compass.

Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast, but their ship's direction, is to the northwest.

The captain thought of another question and said, "if we are driving in the northwest direction, but the Sun Moon Island is in the northeast direction, why is the sun moon island that we see in the northwest direction?"

Xiong Yu thought for a moment, put forward a conjecture, said: "our eyes may be deceiving us, now the weather is so good, there is no wind, the water vapor on the sea is also large, it is likely that the calm sea surface is like a mirror, reflecting the Sun Moon Island, and through the water vapor on the sun and the role of the sun, the outline of the Sun Moon Island is presented in the northwest direction."

The captain is also a person who sails on the sea all the year round. Listening to Xiong Yu's remark, he immediately nodded and said: "it is very possible that in some special areas of the sea, it is not surprising to form such a scene. The teacher who took me before often told me such things, but I didn't care. After all, it's electronic navigation now, and rarely get lost."

Xiong Yu said, "if so, can you adjust the direction and follow the correct direction of the compass?"

The captain said confidently, "now that we have found the right direction, refer to the map and correct the direction, we will be able to reach the place in about an hour and a half."

Listening to the captain's words, Xiong was relieved. After all, he didn't travel on the ship very often, and he didn't have much experience in this field. He could only make some judgments on such matters by guessing.

Bao Sanjin was confused. He didn't understand it at all. But when Xiong Yu and the captain came up with a solution, his frown was loosened.

Bao Sankin said with a long sigh of relief: "we still seldom come to this kind of place. If we really get lost in the vast sea, it will be really over."

The ship sailed again. This time, Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjing were not in the mood to go fishing again. Instead, they stayed in the cabin and watched the captain sail.

About half an hour later, the sky, which was very clear, was dark and overcast.

Then, a layer of mist began to rise on the sea. The fog appeared very quickly. In a short period of ten minutes, the whole sea was a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen clearly.

At this time, the plane that took off from western countries and temporarily changed its course also flew into this sea area.

At the same time, the big ship of the Walden family also met with trouble.
