After sailing for a few days, I also gained a more systematic understanding of the ship.
The boat only has two parts to drive the sails and oars, but it mainly relies on the sails. Five huge sails. When the wind is down, the boat can reach a speed of fifty or sixty kilometers per hour. This is already quite fast, and it is still not under relatively strong winds.
In addition, the most troublesome things on the sea are endless. Fortunately, there are maps, but the monotonous environment still makes many people feel a little depressed after a few days. Lin Haoming could only find ways to make some programs to adjust the mood of the people on the boat.
The ship was walking in one direction. One morning seven or eight days later, Zhang Zhili, as a lookout, had just climbed up the watchtower. He had just taken out his telescope and looked around. Suddenly, he couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Land, there is land!"
Everyone heard his voice, and many of them ran directly to the deck and accompanied the ship sailing. When they saw the land, many people also screamed excitedly.
After leaving the island for more than ten days, it is really hard to be excited to see the land.
Lin Haoming also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't know what he was going to do in this round. The God King didn't say anything, and he couldn't just sail on the sea.
It is natural to pass the test if you have land, but as the ship approaches, everyone discovered that this land is just a small island slightly larger than the island that everyone appeared before. Lin Haoming estimated that the island would not exceed three square kilometers, but it could also allow ships to dock, allowing people to relax for a while.
Under the sunlight, the ship quickly arrived at the island. After sailing around the island for a while, he chose a place to dock.
Put down three small boats from the boat, Yang Sheng took more than 30 people to the island to explore.
Lin Haoming also stood beside the railing next to the command room and looked at the island. He looked at the island simply. The island was a small hill as the core, with the direction of the sun rising as the east, high in the west and low in the east. The place where the island landed was on the east, and the terrain here was relatively slow. It was estimated that the entire island would have to be searched roughly, and it would take Yang Sheng and others a whole day.
However, as Yang Sheng and others confirmed that there was no one on the island, they seemed to have found no danger. Chen Qi brought the second batch of more people to the island, and this group of people mainly searched for any useful materials. After all, materials are the most important when sailing on the sea.
"Captain, there is food." At noon, Zhang Ruochen, who followed Chen Qi's second batch to the island, waved to Lin Haoming excitedly on the shore.
In the afternoon, Lin Haoming also went to the island with the third group of people.
What Zhang Ruochen calls food is some fruits, but in fact there is only one type. This kind of fruit looks long and looks like a melon, which is very large, with only three or five kilograms of each. These melons are hung on the top of a tree, and it will take some effort to collect them.
This kind of fruit actually has no taste. It smells fresh water when eaten, but it is really watery, and it seems to be able to control fullness. Generally, one person will be almost full after eating half of it, and it will also quench thirst.
"This thing is a good thing, are there many on the island?" Lin Haoming asked after tasting a piece.
"There are many, not by the sea, but there is a small piece on the mountain, especially at the foot of the mountain, but there is no on the mountain. I took a quick look and found that there are at least dozens of trees, and each tree can pick at least one or two hundred kilograms." Zhang Ruochen said excitedly.
"What are you waiting for?" Lin Haoming smiled and rubbed her head.
"Captain, don't always rub my head, I'm so big." Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Haoming, and his pretty face showed some redness.
"Hehe, Ruochen, you told the captain not to rub your head, you want to rub your other place, right?" Hearing this, many people around him laughed.
When Zhang Ruochen heard this, he became anxious and shouted directly: "Go to you, be honest with you."
"We're just telling your thoughts." Several people were not afraid of her, but instead started to tease her.
As soon as these words were spoken, more people immediately started to make excuses.
"Captain, I think you might as well just kill this little girl. I think Mrs. Yan won't say anything." At this time, someone started to cheer again.
Lin Haoming said to them: "Are you very idle? Why don't you go and do things quickly?"
Seeing Lin Haoming's orders, everyone dispersed. Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Haoming and blushed and said, "I'm going to do things too."
In fact, Lin Haoming didn't know what Zhang Ruochen thought about himself. Since she became the leader of the camp, she has been by her side. The 17 or 18-year-old girl happened to be in love. She was in the camp before, facing the constant tide of beasts, and perhaps she didn't have much thought, but now she is on the boat, but she is idle.
Lin Haoming suddenly realized that the days on the boat seemed to have changed everyone and became a little leisurely. For them, there was no so-called beast tide, as if everyone had become indifferent. Even if they had sailed on the sea for the rest of their lives, it seemed a good choice.
Lin Haoming remembered that when everyone was nervous on the island half a month ago, when the moon was full, and compared with now, Lin Haoming realized that some things could not be like this. Since this place is considered the second level, it would never be so peaceful.
Although Lin Haoming had a premonition of these, in fact, nothing happened after everyone landed on the island one after another. Instead, after the baskets of long melons were picked, everyone was even more excited. Even in addition to this melon, some people also found that on the other side of the island, against the rocky area below the mountain, there were many shells growing on the rocks. These shells were all edible. It seemed that because there was no one coming for too long, the sea was all. If knocked down, it would definitely be possible to replenish a lot of supplies within a few days, and then go on the road. There was no destination anyway. Next, the island could be used as a material supply point.
Lin Haoming felt that this suggestion was acceptable, so he rested on the island for three days before the ship set off. After landing on the island, everyone seemed particularly excited, and their previous fatigue seemed to have decreased.
Next, Lin Haoming began to explore the circle with the island as the center.
Simply put, it is to circle around this island, and it is larger than the other, with each circle being spaced a certain distance to ensure that other islands or something can be found within the range.
More than a month later, Lin Haoming had explored the 20,000 to 30,000 square kilometers of land around the island, and found nothing except two small islands and reefs.
