Chapter 65 Set sail for a long journey

Four days later, Los Angeles Long Beach Harbour.

Jiang Xiao and his group of six stood on the dock of the port and looked at the scientific research ship with a high-tech appearance docked in front of them.

The silver-white streamlined hull is full of various facilities, but except for a small helicopter on the rear deck, nothing is recognized by Jiang Xiao and others, let alone their purpose.

Except... Old Isaiah.

Since that day, Jiang Xiao brought Deshui back, he has officially become one of the members of this temporary brigade.

Before returning to the hotel, he originally hoped that Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu would hide it for him and not tell Xinyun and others the truth, because even he himself felt that doing this was a bit thief and embarrassing.

But Jiang Xiao simply rejected him, because Jiang Xiao didn't want to hide anything in the team.

Therefore, Deshui could only be helplessly ridiculed by Xinyun. Fortunately, the past few days, his depressed mood gradually calmed down.

"I said... do I want to shrink the ship here?" Deshui stretched out his hand, gently stroked the silver-white hull in front of him, felt the high-tech atmosphere coming from above, and looked around with some embarrassment.

Long Beach is the top ten ports in the world with throughput and the largest port on the west coast of the United States. Just now, nearly a hundred ships of various types are parked in the port.

And there were crowds on the dock, as numerous as ants.

In such a prosperous place, a ship suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone, which was too eye-catching.

No awakened person will be idiotically displayed under the public's noses and randomly display his abilities.

"No, of course not." Old Isaiah shook his head: "We get on the boat and then go directly across the Pacific Ocean to Russia."

"What? Us?!" Xinyun was stunned and said in surprise: "You mean... you want to get on the boat too?"

"Isn't that true?" Old Isaiah looked at Xinyun strangely: "You actually think I shouldn't get on the boat?"

"But...this has nothing to do with you." Xinyun frowned and shook her head: "Old Isaiah, I know you. Although you are the Awakening, you have never been interested in the matters of the Awakening circle, and are only obsessed with your marine life research. I'm afraid... I am the only friend in your Awakening circle. Such things should not involve you."

"But without me, you can't even drive the boat away from this pier!" Old Isaiah glared at Xinyun: "Have you ever driven a boat? Well... I guess the only time you have dealt with a boat in your life is to drive a yacht vacation! But those scrap iron is completely different from my baby Poseidon! Do you think that driving a boat is just a rudder wheel? Do you know how to use so many equipment on the boat? Do you know how to drive that deep-sea submersible? Do you know how to position your own position? Do you know how to set the route? Do you know how to avoid it when you encounter a storm? Don't know anything, how do you plan to go to sea?"

Xinyun was speechless by his words.

She had no idea that the diving depth of the hard constant pressure diving suit was only at most 500 meters, so she thought the problem too simply. She just planned to borrow a few diving suits from Old Isaiah and take them to Lake Baikal, and then she could dive.

But now, since you need to drive a deep-sea submersible and the large ship that is equipped with... I'm afraid it's really far beyond Xinyun's ability.

"But... why do we have to cross the Pacific Ocean to Russia? It will take at least twenty days, right?" Xinyun frowned: "Even if you want to travel with us, why can't we get on the boat, drive to a secluded coast, and then take the boat on the plane and fly directly to Russia? This is also the itinerary I originally planned."

"I proposed it." Jiang Xiao suddenly said lightly from the side.

"Ah! Why?" Xinyun heard Jiang Xiao's words and turned her head and pouted: "If you like to go out to sea to play, can't we play slowly after the matter is resolved? I'm not without a yacht~"

"It's not the reason." Jiang Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since the college sent Zhu Lian to ambush us at the airport before, it means... your channel for filing fake documents has been penetrated by them. Now, from the legal channel, from the United States to Russia, will probably be under their surveillance throughout the process."

"In these days, the college must have found our place to stay, but has not sent out new assassins. I think... it should be the dean who intends to accumulate plural mark awakeners, and then form a team to solve us at once. And our biggest advantage now... is that the college does not know our final destination yet."

"I understand." Xinyun nodded: "You think... if you can avoid customs and public transportation, the college will be unable to understand our next itinerary."

"Yes. Although it is not 100% sure, at least the chance will be much lower."

"As well...yes. But can the six of us alone... drive such a large ship to Russia?" Xinyun frowned and looked at Old Isaiah.

"Don't worry." Old Isaiah laughed: "Poseidon is like my own child, and I know everything about it. And although it can only be regarded as a pocket scientific research ship, its advanced level is definitely world-class. As long as I teach you step by step for a long time, there will be no problem with basic driving."

"Okay!" Xinyun thought for a while and immediately made up her mind: "Then... let's set out like this! Go straight to Russia from the sea!"

...

Blue sky, sunshine, sea, breeze.

In the afternoon, Xinyun lay lazily on the hammock on the deck, watching comfortably as a group of seagulls flying slowly by not far away.

This is the tenth day of this voyage. According to the calculations of the old Isaiah, in two days they will arrive at Vladivostok, the largest port in the Far East.

The city that once belonged to China and was called Vladivostok.

This wonderful voyage...is coming to an end...

Originally, Xinyun opposed the plan to cross the Pacific Ocean by boat, but just one day later, she immediately fell in love with the journey.

Really... amazing!

Although I have taken yachts to sea in the past, this is the first time Xinyun has truly entered the far sea.

It took only two hours for the old Isaiah to teach everyone how to drive this scientific research ship. After getting familiar with the operation, he didn't even need six people. Most of the work was handed over to the autonomous driving equipment. You just need to leave one person in the cab and occasionally confirm that the various equipment is operating normally, so that the ship can continue to move towards the destination.

Of course, in order to ensure that no accidents occur, Jiang Xiao still insisted on making regulations that at any time, two people in the cab must be guaranteed to exist at the same time. The six people were divided into three shifts, each group of two people on duty in the cab for eight hours.

Under Xinyun's strong request, she and Jiang Xiao were divided into the same group. The remaining two groups were Zhao Tianyu and Luanlang, as well as Lao Isaiah and Yu Deshui.

Now, it's the time she just finished her duty and was basking on the deck.

The standard crew of this Poseidon is 20, and the maximum number of crew is fifty. Naturally, there is a sufficient number of cabins, enough for each of them. The food and fresh water on the ship are enough, so that they can even keep their daily meals from going through the entire voyage.

In addition to the necessary navigation facilities and scientific research facilities, there are also various entertainment equipment on the ship. But Xinyun has almost never touched it except for the first two days.

Because of the sea breeze and sunshine, it is so beautiful.

Jiang Xiao was fishing beside her. Xinyun watched him hang bait on the hook and threw it into the sea far away. The pulley rotated rapidly until it was thrown nearly a hundred meters before it fell into the sea.

Xinyun picked up the two bottles of Coke in the ice basin that were so cold that it was cold. She opened a bottle herself, took a big sip of satisfaction, called Jiang Xiao, and then threw the other bottle over.

"Thank you." Jiang Xiao held the fishing rod with one hand, and steadily caught the coke thrown by Xinyun with his other hand, showing a bright smile.

Looking at Jiang Xiao’s smiling face in the sun, Xinyun suddenly had an idea in her mind.

——If... this journey can never end, that would be great.

She stood up from the recliner, rubbed against Jiang Xiao, and looked over to the bucket beside him. There were already two real snappers, a tiger-headed fish, and a sea croaker in the bucket.

"Hehe, I got a good harvest today!" Xinyun patted Jiang Xiao's head and sat down beside him: "What are you going to do tonight?"

"Whatever, I don't care." Jiang Xiao shrugged: "If you like, let's go to the deck to have an open-air barbecue."

"Okay!!!" Xinyun smiled and raised her hands and jumped up: "I like barbecue the most!"

At this moment, the two suddenly heard a short whistle.

A short sound, in the navigation whistle signal, means that you have encountered another ship with a heading conflict and send a signal, asking the other party to meet the ship from the port side of the ship.

During the more than ten days of sailing, Jiang Xiao and Xinyun had never heard of the Poseidon sending this message. Instead of taking the commonly used route, they deviated from the route by dozens of nautical miles. Although it would slightly increase the entire range, it could greatly reduce the chance of meeting other ships.

In fact, this was the first ship the Poseidon saw after leaving the coast of North America.

Xinyun jumped up quickly and ran towards the bow of the ship. Jiang Xiao frowned and thought for a while, and also put down the fishing rod, stood up, and followed Xinyun.

In front of the Poseidon, a fishing boat was sailing straight from head to head.

It was an ordinary fishing boat, which was only a little larger than the Poseidon, but strangely, there was no figure on the deck, the machine was not running, and even the catch was not visible.
