Chapter 356 Island, Archipelago
It has been ten days since Gu Jinyu set out, and these days there is basically no favorable wind.However, there is plenty of food and everything, and there are no big problems.During this period, a small island was also discovered. It was really a small island, and it didn’t take long to explore to find out completely.

This small island is of little value, and it may be possible to imitate emergency supplies on this island.But such a small island is also afraid of high tide or something, maybe it will be flooded.

Therefore, after a little investigation, the voyage continued.The sea is at a loss, and most of the time the scene does not change.Perhaps the things that change the most are the sun every day and the clouds in the sky.

Gu Jinyu was still in the cabin, and the people on duty outside were also working hard. Some people used binoculars to look into the distance and check the situation ahead.

It was almost noon, and the sun was still quite bright outside, but for these crew members, they were all used to it.The most worrying thing is the long-term voyage, and the psychological pressure on the crew will be relatively high.There are also fresh fruits and vegetables, but fortunately there are also refrigerators, and some entertainment is also provided.

The crewman, who was investigating with a telescope, suddenly discovered something different.Black dots, black lines?I am used to seeing the thin line between sea and sky while sailing, so this thing is a bit strange.

It's not clear yet, we can only observe after the ship continues to sail forward for a certain distance.

After ten minutes or so, the black dot and black line seemed to have a wider range, and he was sure that it wasn't his own eyesight, nor was it blurred on the telescope lens.

"There is really something ahead."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the captain should be informed and go to investigate.

"Notify the captain, another discovery ahead."

Compared with entertainment activities, Gu Jinyu prefers to record and record everything on the voyage.However, it's not night, and it's not time to record.Gu Jinyu also got the news very quickly, and a new discovery was made at the bow of the ship.

Gu Jinyu quickly rushed to the bow and took over the crew's binoculars. After a few minutes of sailing, he seemed to be able to see more clearly again.Gu Jinyu glanced at it, and then smiled, "Not bad."

"Send the order to go down, adjust the direction slightly, southeast, and move forward."

Gu Jinyu felt that he might gain something again, the small island before was nothing at all, this might be the big discovery.Gu Jinyu suppressed the joy in his heart and let people continue to observe, while he stood on the deck and looked into the distance.

As it gets closer and closer, the things discovered before have gradually become clearly visible. They are islands, real islands.At least it is bigger and more similar than the so-called island before.Such a large island is estimated to be an island that can be owned for a long time, can be farmed, and even has ores.

"Keep going."

When they came near this island, everyone on the boat knew that it was a big island, definitely not small.Even if this island is smaller than Wangzhou Island, that's okay, this island is already big enough.

"Go around the island and see how big it is. We will land on the island later and station on the coast."

The boats scattered on both sides and began to circle around the island, ready to see how big the island was.And Gu Jinyu didn't go to the island rashly, he still planned to wait until everyone came back.

It was not until late in the evening that the ships that went out to investigate came back from the direction they left.Gu Jinyu also got the result from the exploration of these two teams. The island was not small. Anyway, the two fleets came back before they met.

"This island is not too small."

"Captain, there is another question. When I came back, I opened the distance and looked at it from a distance. It seems that this is not one island, but several."

Gu Jinyu asked excitedly, "Are you reading correctly?"

"Returning to the captain, there is absolutely no mistake. It seems that we have made a mistake this time. This island may not be as big as Wangzhou Island, but if there are several of them, then if they add up, the value will not be less than Wangzhou Island."

Everyone on the fleet was very excited, and it was discovered that a small island might not be of much value.But the value of Wangzhou Island is huge. This archipelago may not be comparable to Wangzhou Island, but it is also a major discovery.If it is reported to the imperial court, rewards will definitely be indispensable.

Gu Jinyu also comforted the crew on the ship, "Don't get excited, go to the island first, and set up camp near the beach. Then tomorrow, we will start exploring along the edge of the island to see how big the island is. As for the island In the current situation, we have too few people, so we should not act rashly."

"Yes, Captain."

Under Gu Jinyu's command, many people still stayed on the boat, but many people came to the island.Although there is no need for large-scale exploration, it is still possible to collect some firewood nearby.

In this way, near the coast, it can be regarded as down-to-earth and comfortable stepping on the ground.That night, the crew members were all happy and had a couple of small drinks.Of course, those who have to be on duty at night can't be so casual, they still need to strengthen their vigilance.

In the evening, Gu Jinyu returned to the boat, feeling that it would be more comfortable to sleep on the boat.More importantly, Gu Jinyu still has to write today's logbook.

"On the 14th day of our voyage, we headed south all the way and made new discoveries. At first we thought it was just a small island, but after getting closer, after preliminary investigation, we found that the island is very big, probably not as big as Wangzhou Island, but it is also It looks like two big cities can be built."

"Moreover, this island is not an isolated one, but an archipelago. This is only a preliminary investigation, and the specific situation is still unknown. We will have to wait until tomorrow and the next time to conduct in-depth investigations, and we don't know what is happening on this island. Is there a human presence, or is there any potential danger."

"Everything is unknown. For the next period of time, I decided to stay and investigate the situation on the island. After I have found out the general situation, I will return to the voyage immediately and report the news. When I come back next time, I will build a transit here Station, maybe you can sail to a farther place.”

……

After Gu Jinyu finished writing the logbook, he got out of his small cabin, came to the deck, and began to appreciate the wonderful night sky.This is Gu Jinyu's habit, and the crew members also know that when they saw Gu Jinyu coming out, some of these crew members had already gone to rest, and some of them were patrolling the ship and were on guard.Although this island is a discovery, it is an opportunity, but it is also a potential danger.

I don't know the situation on the island, whether there are people, whether there are ferocious beasts, everything is unknown.Therefore, it is better to be cautious, but with the musket in hand and the cannon on board, I feel a little more secure.
