Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 94: Going to the Ghost Island

Sitting on the ground and raising the price, from our own perspective, this is not the case. Of course, our identity and position are righteous, and we have a clear division. This is actually reasonable. The two eyes that Zheng Jie and Luo Lan give us now are as if we had discussed in secret before, so we deducted the hat of profiteers and marketers. On the contrary, Fu Zhiwen's expression was natural, as if nothing had happened before.

Departure, this is the itinerary that Fu Zhiwen can't wait for. I stared at the direction of the ghost island that was completely invisible to the naked eye, and then looked at the two kayaks, and I couldn't help but drum up. "Old Fu, how far is our current location from the destination?"

Fu Zhiwen, Zheng Jie and Roland shared a kayak. Of course, the control of the remaining boat belongs to us. He stopped the rowing motion in his hand, took out a map and looked at it carefully, and then said, "It's not far, probably less than five nautical miles."

When Jiang Yilong heard it, he rushed: "Hey, don't blame my limited knowledge, I just want to ask how far is the five nautical miles?"

Roland finally spoke and said, "One nautical mile is traditionally defined as one arc minute of a circle around the earth, that is, one circle equals 360 degrees, and one degree equals 60 minutes. The length of one nautical mile is twice the length of the meridian divided by 360. Divide by 60. As early as 1970, one nautical mile was 6,080 feet, which is equivalent to 1,853.184 meters. Later, a nautical mile was newly defined by the United States as 6,080.2 feet, which is equivalent to 1,853.249 meters. According to this, it is internationally recognized that one nautical mile is 1,853.249 meters."

Jiang Yilong clapped his hands and said, "Awesome. I didn't expect that Roland, you turned out to be a high-achieving student. You can remember these things well. However, I still don't understand the difference between this kilometer and this sea."

Roland didn’t show contempt, but he continued to teach, “You should know the unit of meter. One kilometer is equal to one kilometer. I’ll give you an example of how long it is actually. It’s probably now kayaking. The location is twenty times as long as the place where we stayed last night. That is to say, one nautical mile is equal to more than 1.8 kilometers. Then, how long is the distance of less than five nautical miles, and the logical unit is converted, as long as it is a little over You know it in your head."

Jiang Yilong shook his fingers for a long time, and finally said: "A thousand meters, five nautical miles, wow so far. Just this kayak, and you still have to paddle by hand, it's not exhausting."

Fu Zhiwen laughed and said: "Actually, I was not prepared enough and too impatient. According to reason, inflatable kayaks are not suitable for rowing at sea. First, the sea is windy and the waves are bad, and its steering is not good. It’s very easy to be overturned. Secondly, it’s going to deviate from the direction and it’s very difficult to paddle. This will have to test your physical fitness and your ability to ride a kayak. So, it’s a chore."

Bai Ling said: "If this is the case, then do you still want to make arrangements like this?"

Roland rushed: "This is my problem. However, Professor Fu has just touched on the key point. The first is that these tasks are too urgent and I don't have enough time to arrange them. Second, the locals only need to know where we are going. I didn’t want to rent the boat to us at all. So, in desperation, I had no choice but to make my own claim and replaced it with this kayak."

"Yes, yes, it's still my problem." Fu Zhiwen said: "However, I have carefully observed the weather today. God bless the sea today is calm and calm. As long as we all work hard and get through it, I believe we will be able to go smoothly. Landing ghost... from that island."

Jiang Yilong wanted to say something. I stopped him. I checked the time. It was almost ten in the morning. According to the distance from the ghost island that Roland told us just now, plus manual paddles, today’s We have to spend most of the day at sea. Therefore, the most urgent task is to go to the sea as soon as possible, at least as soon as the sea is calm today, and to successfully board the ghost island before dark, otherwise, the suffering will be really uncomfortable.

For safety reasons, we connect the two kayaks with twine. In case of any emergency, we can take care of each other. Secondly, after more than two hours of paddling at sea, the three of Fu Zhiwen and Zheng Jie were obviously at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength. The kayaking speed could not keep up at all. In addition, because of the twine rope connection, we even paddled. In front, it was more difficult than them.

At this moment, I secretly said something to Jiang Yilong. He immediately transferred to Fu Zhiwen’s kayak. Taking advantage of this period of time, Jiang Yilong didn’t stop for a minute anyway, meaninglessly thinking. Roland was asked to fully perform as a man in front of Roland.

On land, the distance of five nautical miles is not a big problem for normal people at all, even if it only takes more than an hour to walk on foot. But in this sea, the waves are undulating, and there is no mechanical power to drive it. If you want to go forward, you have to pay a very large physical consumption. This is a very big test for me and Jiang Yilong.

Roland said, "Brother Jiang, your body is obviously much stronger than your junior brother. Don't blame me for telling the truth at your speed. I'm afraid you can match the ants."

"Joke, a big joke, I have hidden strength, don't worry, immediately, I can surpass them immediately." Jiang Yilong rowed hard and said.

Bai Ling and I’s kayak is obviously lighter than theirs, so it makes sense to work harder and row faster. But it made me a little angry. It is very possible that Roland has already seen Jiang Yilong's thoughts on her. Taking advantage of this knot, she is always waiting for opportunities to sarcasm and stimulate. Of course, it is undeniable that after her stimulation, Jiang Yilong supported the three of them, plus some supplies and equipment on the kayak, and the speed was comparable to ours, but at the same time, I secretly made Jiang Yi in my heart. Long was worried.

Jiang Yilong and I grew up together. I don't know what his personality is. There are only two results once he sees it. Either it will be a natural success, or he will not regret it. When he was very clear and told me with a face for the first time, he even felt affectionate for Roland, who had met for the first time. I was happy for Jiang Yilong no matter from the standpoint of brother or brother. However, in this world, there is a big trend, but the details can show that human nature is good. If, this is the real face I saw Roland, no matter what she is a top student or an assistant to the curator, in short, she really is not worthy of Jiang Yilong.

The cold winter wind, coupled with the sea trip, the face is like a knife cut, the hands and feet are cold, except for the trace of desire in my heart, in addition to feeling worthless or worthless.

Bai Ling suddenly said, "What's going on before?"

"What?" I raised my head and followed the direction of her fingers, about ten meters away from us, and the mist was filled in front of me, like a leaf blinding my eyes. "Well, what's the matter? Although the sun is not warm today, the weather is good, and the sea is calm. Why is it so foggy?"

When I stopped, Jiang Yilong also stopped. Fu Zhiwen stood up and looked at the fog in front of him for a long time, then took out the compass and map, and finally said: "The direction is correct, but according to the weather conditions, the fog is indeed a little strange."

I said, "Old Fu, how far is our current location from the island?"

Fu Zhiwen said: "It's not far, about one nautical mile."

Bai Ling said, "That means we only need to go directly through to reach our destination?"

"Yes." Fu Zhiwen paused, and said: "It's just based on my knowledge and according to such weather conditions, besides being in such a location, it shouldn't be foggy."

Of course, what I know about the weather conditions on the sea is much worse than that of Fu Zhiwen and other erudite experts, but now even he himself says so, so speaking of it, the foggy area in front of me is indeed a bit weird. At the same time, I have a more vague premonition in my heart, always feeling that something is going to happen. "It's getting late now. We must land on the island before dark. Otherwise, the direction of the dark is confused and physical exertion, we really can only stay at sea for one night."

Zheng Jie said: "Since everyone agrees, what are you waiting for? It's nothing more than a foggy area. Just go straight through."

"Wait." Fu Zhiwen said, "Xiaojiang, Xiaoqi, what can you see now?"

I said, "Fu Lao, you treat us as a **** of Da Luo."

"It shouldn't, it shouldn't be logically speaking."

"Grandpa, why shouldn't you."

"It's not the fog yet." Fu Zhiwen sat down and received the map compass in his bag. He was silent for a long time and said: "For safety, or else, let's change the direction of our navigation. According to my visual observation, this foggy area Although it is big, the left side seems to be weaker, so we diverted from the left to go straight to the island."

Jiang Yilong said: "How long does it take to make such a change as you said?"

Fu Zhiwen said: "It may take one to two more hours."

"Seeing it's getting dark, it will take an extra hour or two. What you said is really not easy. How about changing you to punt?" Jiang Yilong was obviously very dissatisfied, and immediately rushed to me from the other boat. Said: "Little Junior Brother, I will open the way and you will follow."

He spoke cleanly and immediately paddled the oars. From my point of view at this time, of course, I want to save my energy and reach my destination safely. If it takes a few more hours to detour because of the foggy area in front of you, to be honest, I will disagree with my heart. After all, they are all just ferrying passengers by boat, and can't experience the hardships of a boatman at all.

The subjective consciousness of Jiang Yilong and I is nothing more than hoping to reach the island safely as soon as possible. When we locked our direction and broke into the foggy area, our sight was no more than five meters away, but we were sure of it. Direction, this has little effect on us at all, we just need to paddle the oars in the direction. However, in fact, we were still trapped in the foggy area for nearly tens of minutes after we broke into this foggy area. It stands to reason that we can at least see the shadow of the ghost island with our own eyes.

Fu Zhiwen suddenly said: "No, it's not right."

Jiang Yilong also complained in his heart, stopped his oars and said angrily: "What the **** is wrong?"

Fu Zhiwen took the compass in his hand and handed it to Jiang Yilong and said, "See it for yourself."

Jiang Yilong said: "Why this pointer keeps shaking."

"Yeah, the most. That's weird."

"Why is this?"

"I have two inferences. One is that there is magnetic interference here, so the pointer cannot determine the direction. Second, this inference is a bit absurd. Based on my experience for so many years, it may be weird in this place... …"
