Chapter 347 New Island (1/2)(1/2)
When no one looked at him, Huang Si was too lazy to pretend.
This storm was originally not far from this sea area.
Huang Si just slightly changed its course and asked it to chase it towards the sailboat.
This has several purposes.
First, and the main purpose, let the ship drift to the vicinity of a large island.
This large island is a natural island, not an artificial island. The island has abundant resources and has both economic functions and can also serve as a relay station for continuing to sail.
There is even fresh water on the island.
Although there are very few, only one or two springs, they probably won't be able to find them for a while.
Therefore, for the sake of the convenience of humans' development of maritime career, Huang Si went there in advance and dug a large freshwater lake on the island.
With this lake, this island is a perfect relay point.
The second is to teach these people the knowledge of ocean navigation.
This is also the reason why Huang Si and Gu Jing talked so much with the captain.
In addition to astronomy, we cannot teach randomly, we have roughly taught other directional judgments, weather identification, wind direction prediction, seasonal changes in ocean currents, etc.
Third, I saw that the wind and waves were too big, so I taught me the knowledge of how to take the helm in a complex marine environment.
Now, since all the human races have entered the ship, there is no need to suffer any more.
Despite the strong winds and heavy rains outside.
Even though there was a dazzling lightning flashing in the dark clouds in the distance.
Although a small tornado has been spawned in the storm.
However, the ship is safe.
It will shake for one night tonight.
But it won't turn it over.
Slowly, the sky became darker and darker.
Night has come.
In the cabin of the sailboat, the human races gathered together and squeezed together.
Gu Qian leaned in his father's arms, while Gu Jing wrapped his son with one hand.
Gu Yu also leaned quietly on the side.
The three of them chose not to sleep, but to watch the night with everyone in the cabin.
"Father, can we survive?"
Gu Qian asked in a low voice.
"It's OK."
Gu Jing replied without hesitation.
He actually didn't know if he could survive.
However, with the person outside, it seems that everything that is impossible can be turned into possibility.
Even in such a terrible storm.
There seems to be a miracle.
Since he has seen Huang Si's magical behavior, he has begun to have such beliefs.
Gu Jing reached out to hug the two juniors.
"Qian'er, Yu'er, I can't die here."
Even though he couldn't see the scene outside, he still raised his head and said with longing.
"I haven't seen the outside world yet."
"I heard that there is endless void around the sea."
"The ocean flows down from the edge of the world and into the void."
"Some people also say that the end of the sea is land."
"It's another world with milk and honey."
"Is there really another world outside the human world?"
"Will there be something we have never seen before..."
"I used crystal to polish a mirror. I could see far away, but I couldn't see anything outside the sky, nor did I see anything on the other end of the sea..."
"I heard that the edge of the earth is the sea, the edge of the sea is the void, and the sea water will flow under the void. If the sea has an end, I really want to see it with my own eyes!"
Gu Jing said excitedly, his beard moving.
This is his lifelong pursuit.
It is also the reason why, as the head of the family, he often abandoned his career and went on a long voyage.
As he spoke, he was already in tears.
"Father."
"uncle."
Gu Qian and Gu Yu surrounded them and comforted their elders.
The three of them hugged each other.
This was the longest night.
Under the leadership of the sailors, they prayed to the Wind God and prayed for Huang Si who was guarding the outside.
I don't know if there is really a blessing from the gods. Even though they encountered the biggest hurricane and the most terrifying waves according to the old sailor, the ship was just pushed forward and did not capsize.
I don't know how long it has passed.
The shaking of the hull gradually stopped.
Finally stabilized.
The sailors left the cabin that controlled the sailing, came to the deck, and looked into the distance.
The first beam of sunlight fell in the sky.
The rippling waves projected on the sea surface, brilliant and dazzling.
Through the waves, they looked into the distance, and then were stunned.
I saw that the ocean that was gradually calming was not far away, where the water and sky were intersecting-
There is a series of ups and downs.
The arc is not blue, but yellow, green, and white intertwined.
The yellow one may be the beach.
Green, maybe vegetation.
White, maybe rock.
That's an island!
It's a big island!
Maybe even land!
Many sailors cheered in unison.
Gu Jing also brought his two nephews to the deck.
However, he cared more about the man who had been on the deck last night than the new discovery.
Gu Jing looked back at the hull.
However, the place was empty.
He walked a few steps over there and searched anxiously.
No, no one anywhere.
The hatch door didn't open all night.
No one knocked on the door at night.
"Mr. Huang!"
Gu Jing shouted loudly.
"Mr. Huang! Are you still here? Are you okay?"
His heart was beating heavily, and a premonition of anxiety filled his mind.
