Above the South China Sea after the typhoon, the sky was extremely clear and clear. A 600-ton ocean fishing vessel was slowly traveling offshore, with an irregular curve.
In October 20XX, the Hainan Space Launch Center will conduct its third launch since its establishment. This launch is the third batch of equipment used to assemble the Shenzhou Space Station, using the latest high-thrust launch vehicle. This equipment includes
A nuclear power battery pack was installed as the main power generation device of the space station, thereby saving the launch vehicle load used to install large-area solar cells, so that China's first space station could be built faster and more cost-effectively.
This is of course an excellent reporting topic that attracts media from all over the world; reporters from various media swarmed in, and protesters from various global groups, including Greenpeace, also desperately squeezed into China to oppose nuclear power into space or human rights issues.
There are various reasons to win the attention of the global media. As for the various political forces, they are also rushing to jump out like taking stimulants. Some are taking to the streets, some are on hunger strikes, and many are strapping explosives to themselves. This has caused a stir among people all over the world.
There is so much excitement that all powerful institutions in China are busy.
As a result, the security for this space launch was unprecedentedly tight. Thanks to the month-long typhoon, the entire 1,000-square-kilometer area around the launch center, which had been postponed several times, was under martial law for a month. The entire Hainan was raided by the military police and national security, so people could stay awake at night.
.Except for a few authorized journalists, foreign media reporters can basically only stay in hotels in Haikou city and watch TV.
The reporters who were unwilling to give full play to tactics such as guerrilla warfare, fatigue warfare, human sea warfare, etc., used all their brains to use money bribery, makeup reconnaissance, latent night attacks and other combat methods. The most successful ones have broken through to 10 kilometers outside the launch center.
In a certain village, you can almost see the launch vehicle erected at the launch site with a telephoto lens ------- In the next minute, this reporter from a newspaper from Hong Kong was knocked down in the grass by the extremely vigilant local militiamen.
, was turned to the public security organ.
On a 600-ton ocean-going fishing vessel, a 30-year-old photographer named Yin Feng was standing in the corner of the ship smoking. He was tall, burly, and bearded. As a freelance photographer, he was originally not qualified to obtain reporting qualifications.
However, he had met a lot of people when he was working on the TV station. It happened that a friend from a Beijing website hired him to produce some special pictures for the launch of the space station. He relied on this friend's relationship to get into Haikou City, and he partnered with several other unscrupulous small media reporters.
They spent money to hire this ocean fishing boat. Because the launch center is close to the sea, they hoped to take a few shots from a distance at sea to report their credit.
However, the 100 kilometers around the coast have been tightly blocked by countless maritime surveillance boats, maritime inspection vessels, border armed police and naval vessels. The sea is covered with ships, and even large marine fish cannot approach the coastline. This fishing boat is carrying
Seven or eight reporters have been hiding at sea for three days. They also encountered this typhoon and almost capsized. The navigation equipment on the ship once failed. When the storm calms down, the boss of the ship will go home. No matter how high the reporters' expectations are,
He doesn't care about the price either.
Suddenly the GPS navigator returned to normal, and the captain of the boat exclaimed: "Oh my God, we are here!!"
Yin Feng and several reporters were packing up their photography equipment in frustration. When they heard this, they were shocked and gathered around to take a look: they had been carried 20 kilometers away from the coast of the launch center by the typhoon.
On the other side, the radio of the boss of the ship was broadcasting live broadcasts from the launch site. A big photojournalist from the Northeast loaded up the machine and rushed to the side of the ship, shouting: "Hurry, brothers! The launch will be launched in 20 minutes!"
Everyone crowded to the side of the ship, turning on their equipment and pointing the direction. The coastline visible to the naked eye was covered by green hills, and after a while, rockets spitting flames would rise into the sky behind. The boss of the ship steadied the ship while muttering:
"The radar has already seen our ship and we can't escape..."
The fishing boat did not dare to approach the coast and just drove slowly parallel to the coast. Yin Feng had already entered into working mode. He compared the map provided by a friend of the Hainan Mineral Exploration Institute and pointed at the area where the rocket was about to take off. Broadcast
The reporter was broadcasting: "Now the 10-minute countdown begins..." The reporters and sailors around were looking at the coast eagerly. Even the sea breeze seemed to have stopped, and only the waves and the engine were making sounds.
The three-minute countdown began. Yin Feng felt nervous for no reason. He adjusted the tripod and camera again, and found that several other colleagues were doing the same thing. "It's going to be okay. How could something happen?" he said.
After talking to himself, he got in front of the camera again.
The breathtaking 10-second countdown began. The boss of the boat stopped the boat and waited at the side of the boat with his binoculars.
"10, 9, 8, 7..." Several unknown seabirds stopped at the side of the ship, looking curiously at these motionless weirdos.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1... fire up!" The voice on the radio seemed emotionless, and then bursts of loud noises came from behind the coastal hills, shaking the entire ocean-going fishing boat, and the fire and smoke in the sky quickly
Holding the rocket in the air, Yin Feng desperately pressed the shutter at extreme speed. Other colleagues were also nervously making finger movements. The sky and the sea seemed to be enveloped by huge noises, and the fishing boat began to shake. "The rocket has taken off.
!!" The voice on the radio was a little excited.
The launch vehicle that had already risen into the air seemed to draw an arc and deflected in the direction of Yin Feng and the others. At the same time, a sailor shouted: "Boss, the maritime surveillance boat is coming!!" The boss of the ship threw the telescope and jumped to the wheelhouse.
The boat was launched. Yin Feng became anxious, and kept pressing the shutter while shouting: "Wait a minute, wait..."
Thirty-five seconds after launch, the huge launch vehicle was already approaching the fishing boat.
Suddenly, the rocket seemed to have stopped in the sky. In just one second, before everyone's screams could escape their throats, a huge flash of light appeared from the side of the rocket carrier cabin...
In fact, no one could see clearly how this light appeared, because the lenses of various equipment of Yin Feng and others were destroyed by the strong light in an instant, and the LCD screen of the viewfinder was burned together with the electronic components. Yin Feng did not have time to look at it
The viewfinder was in a daze. He already felt that his whole body was completely surrounded by white light and hurricane. The next second he had lost consciousness...
The last sound on the radio was an announcer's exclamation: "The rocket exploded..."
…
——————————————————————————————————
There were still strong winds and heavy rain, and the sea water was salty and wet... It seemed that the typhoon was coming again. Yin Feng lay on a boat plank that was one person long and was awakened by the rain and sea water.
Surrounded by waves were heavy rain and strong winds, and his vision was completely dark. Yin Feng could not help but bump along the board of the boat among the waves, drinking sea water in mouthfuls, which almost made him faint again. He finally grasped the board of the boat, and he tried to close it tightly
Mouth, it felt like his lower body was completely submerged in the water, and it seemed like something was carrying him heavily and sinking. It turned out that his waterproof mountaineering bag was hanging on his waist, and in the bag was a laptop or something, and he was dying.
He was dragging him down into the water. He considered whether to take the risk of freeing up one hand to unbuckle the mountaineering bag and throw away this thing that might cost him his life. Before he could think about it, several big waves crashed in.
He took several mouthfuls of sea water and fainted.
When he woke up again, he found that he was lying on a beach, and the sea water was washing him. His fingers were still stiff and making grabbing movements, but the board of the boat had disappeared, and the waterproof mountaineering bag was hanging on the
Miraculously, it was not lost on his left thigh. He moved his fingers for a long time and regained their function. Then he dragged the bag and climbed behind the rocks at the end of the beach. At this moment, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the waves gently lapped the beach, and the shore
A coconut forest swayed gently, and the moon hung extremely brightly in the sky. The world here was very quiet and peaceful, as if it was in a dream.
The only clothes he wore were a short-sleeved sweatshirt and jeans. The mobile phone in his trouser pocket had long since disappeared. There was nothing around him to know the time and place. There was a laptop in the hiking bag to check the time, but he didn't have the energy now.
Go and open it. The summer night in the South China Sea is very mild, and Yin Feng falls asleep on this unknown beach.
This is a small island, an uninhabited island.
In the morning, Yin Feng regained some strength. After eating the only piece of chocolate in his mountaineering bag, he started the expedition. An hour later, he ended the expedition and was so desperate that he found himself on an uninhabited island with a radius of less than 1 meter.
There is no communication equipment or any modern equipment to contact the outside world. There are small coconut groves and several small hills on the island. There are not even small terrestrial animals, only a few seabirds were found. After turning on the laptop
, but the computer time was initialized to the factory date. It was probably due to the impact of the rocket explosion. Yin Feng closed the computer in disappointment and estimated that 3 days had passed.
There were obvious signs of a typhoon on the island, and many trees had fallen down. What made Yin Feng a little excited was that several ship planks, torn canvas and a wooden box were washed up on the beach. Yin Feng watched for a long time
, determined to be the remnants of another unlucky ship, but something strange is that the ship's planks and wooden boxes do not seem to be modern things.
The wooden shipboard has a classical cross pattern. In the 21st century, no European would bring a wooden sailboat to China.
The small wooden box was wrapped with metal decorative strips. The patterns on it were crosses and flower and grass patterns. It was obviously a European classical style and seemed to be displayed in a European museum. After opening the buckle, a book and a classical style pistol were found: book
It is covered in cowhide, and the inner pages have been soaked by seawater, but the Latin letters on the cover indicate that this is a Bible. Yin Feng cannot tell which language the text on the inner pages is in; but there is handwriting on the title page.
, has been very blurry, only the first few words and the signature can be seen. Yin Feng recognized a word: "Presente", which means "present" in Portuguese; Yin Feng took Portuguese as a second foreign language in college, although he gave up halfway.
My level is very poor. I have forgotten most of it in 10 years, but I still recognize the word. There is also a name after it: "Tang" at the beginning, indicating that he is a nobleman, and the father's name "Barradas" at the end, with a big character in the middle.
The segment was completely blurred by the sea water, and it should be the name of a person from the Iberian Peninsula. Portuguese names are surprisingly long, but now only the last patronymic can be seen.
The pistol was exquisitely made and small, and based on Yin Feng's knowledge of military history, he discovered that it was a revolving pistol - a classical pistol that uses a rotating steel wheel to ignite gunpowder and fire bullets. It became popular in the early 16th century.
This exquisite gadget in Europe was a personal weapon favored by nobles and cavalry at that time. It was once banned by Maximilian I (1459-1519), Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, on the grounds that such guns were hidden under clothes and were not easily noticed.
, detrimental to social security. Because the manufacturing process of the revolver is too complicated, the structure is too delicate, and the cost is too high, this pistol later became an ornament for European aristocrats, and thus became a favorite antique among museums and collectors in later generations, with great value.
Not cheap.
In addition to these, there is also a sheepskin world map in this wooden box, which is well preserved: a world map in the style of the Great Navigation Period. The European part is accurate, and the Asian part, especially China and East Asia, is severely deformed. There is no shadow of Antarctica, even Australia.
I can't tell the location either - in fact, Australia was officially put on the map when the British navigator Captain Cook discovered Australia in the second half of the 18th century.
I can basically spell it out, but I found that even the Solomon Islands are not marked here. Historically, in 1567, the Spanish Mendanha de Nera led a fleet from Peru to search for the legendary southern continent.
Then the Solomon Islands were discovered.
Therefore, this sheepskin world map, which does not seem to be old, should have been drawn before 1567. It seems a bit too new relatively speaking. There is a signature "Baradas" on the map, which seems to be the owner of the wooden box.
"Baradas". The world map is wrapped with a copper cross, without any text, very simple.
Finally, pressed under the book was a delicate metal-handled magnifying glass with the word "Venezia" engraved on the handle.
"Venice?" Yin Feng added his forehead with his hands. This is another antique: During the Renaissance, Venice was famous in Europe for manufacturing highly transparent lenses.
Yin Feng looked at it for a long time and was puzzled: Did someone get into trouble with these antiques? What a coincidence. The only thing that was certain was that a ship sank in the nearby sea. He packed up the small wooden box and stuffed it into his
In the hiking bag, he felt dizzy and his mouth tasted bitter. He felt hungry and thirsty like never before, but there was no food around him.
Fortunately, there are coconuts to quench his thirst. Yin Feng took out a set of Swiss Army knives from his hiking bag and looked at the coconut trees in a daze.
His tree climbing skills were very poor. He struggled to get up to a 4-meter-high coconut tree. He felt dizzy and obviously exhausted. He struggled to pick the coconut. Before coming down from the tree, he looked at
Toward the Beach; Miracle!
A dreamlike bamboo sail appeared on the sea in the distance. "Ship!!" He shouted, and the coconuts fell from the tree together, twisting his right foot. Then he twisted and rushed towards the beach like a madman.
, yelling incoherently.
The small sailboat was very old in style. Yin Feng thought it was an early Guangzhou-type single-masted fishing boat that he had seen in the ship museum. However, although he wondered why such an antique ship still went to sea, at this moment, this ship was equal to
He kept shouting about the angel's rescue ship, and the ship really came towards him.
Finally, the boat approached the beach. Yin Feng's body had experienced hunger, thirst and fatigue for several days. Because he was too excited, he finally fainted again at this moment. At this time, he finally discovered that there was a problem: the fishermen on the boat had an unmistakable appearance.
They are indigenous people from the coastal areas of Guangdong, but their clothes and the tools in their hands are undoubtedly antiques, and this small island is definitely not a filming location for costume movies and TV dramas... He fainted before he had time to think about this important issue. In fact
He did not eat or drink for 3 days and 3 nights - oh, except for a piece of chocolate and a few sips of sea water.
Yin Feng was considered a big man in his time, which really made several short and lean fishermen worried. In the end, five simple fishermen carried him back to the fishing boat, together with the strange-looking big bag. Yin Feng was unconscious.
Feng didn't know where he would be taken. He felt the rocking of the boat in a daze, and a thought flashed through his mind: "It's not a costume drama... Could it be..."
Yin Feng woke up on the fishing boat, because someone was pouring wine on him, which made him feel hot all over. The man in short clothes in front of him, about 40 years old, was strong and strong. He was looking at him curiously and said a series of words, Yin Feng
Feng didn't understand anything for a while. After repeated repetitions, he realized that the words spoken by the other party were similar to the Cantonese dialect. His media work has taken him all over the country, so he was no stranger to Cantonese. He could generally understand it, but he couldn't understand it.
He can speak. He can only ask in Mandarin: "Uncle, where am I?"
The old fisherman laughed and spoke in half-baked Mandarin. Yin Feng understood roughly: It seems that the fishing boat was fishing in Qizhou Yangshan in Qiongzhou Prefecture. Qizhou Yangshan is the Qizhou Islands in the northeast of Hainan Island.
By observing fishing boats and fishermen, and then having conversations, Yin Feng confirmed the fact that he had returned to the "past". After the launch vehicle exploded - he suspected it was a nuclear explosion - he came to the historical past of the same area for unknown reasons.
Times. But there is no information on this ship that can explain the specific time now.
The fisherman boss called himself Uncle Mai, and the other six young fishermen were all his nephews. They gathered around and curiously asked various questions, all of them innocent and simple questions like children. Yin Feng felt drowsy about his own
Qiyu sighed and didn't say much. He just smiled as kindly as possible. Uncle Mai came closer and pulled everyone away: "Go to work, go to work, I didn't see that this brother is still weak..."
In his short 10-year working career, Yin Feng has traveled to more than half of the provinces in the country and has seen countless natural disasters and man-made disasters. He is easygoing by nature and prefers to be alone.
It has never been encountered before and cannot be dealt with.
After a day of idleness, on the second morning of life on the boat, Uncle Mai got him some dried fish and sweet potatoes as dry food, and also brought a gourd of rice wine. Yin Feng said: "My name is Yin Feng, I am not a local.
,…”
Uncle Mai smiled and said, "I already knew it. Your clothes don't look like an official, your skin doesn't look like someone who has been floating on the sea all year round, and your accent is from the north. Are you a businessman from the north?" He was especially interested.
Looking at Yin Feng's short hair, he hesitated to speak.
"What time is it now..., I mean who is the current emperor? What is the reign name?" Yin Feng carefully worded his words. Uncle Mai was still frightened by him and stared at him like a monster.
After a long while, he asked very carefully: "Don't you know what year it is now?"
Yin Feng had to hurry up and get this information. He was not worried about any problems in front of these simple fishermen, but it would be difficult to tell when he got to the shore.
"The current emperor's reign is Wanli, and it is now the twenty-seventh year of Wanli. On New Year's Day, officials from the government came to us to announce it." Uncle Mai said cautiously.
