Chapter 1320 The great voyage of speculation

Cai He yawned. Although there was sunlight shining into the cabin, the room was too big, so he still lit an oil lamp. He listened to Dulan's advice to record his work every day, but sometimes he was too sleepy and could only wait until the next day to do the work. Anyway, he was not busy every day.

It can be said to be extremely boring on the sea. Every day, the information coming from each ship is processed, the location of the fleet is determined, and other than that, it is a long wait.

"...Yesterday I saw a big fish on the sea surface. Its back was like an island and it could spray water. I thought the big fish could swallow a small boat. I don't know its name or its full picture. When I return to Daqin, I will ask the teacher to name it." They saw a whale. However, the ships in the fleet were not smaller than whales, so no accidents were encountered. However, some crew members thought it was the Dragon King in the sea, saying that they had made the Dragon King angry. Cai He finally calmed down such feudal superstitions and imprisoned those who spread the rumors for two days.

"... I have been out to sea for thirteen days and have been heading eastward for thirteen days. I use the star compass to position myself every day, supplement it with charts, and control the sea breeze. I dare not slack off at all. Since I encountered the island for supplies ten days ago, I have not seen land for ten days. The strength of the sea It's really shocking." If Cai He didn't have 100% confidence in Dulan, he would have doubted whether they would be able to go home.

As the time without sight of land grew longer and longer, the crew became more and more uneasy, not knowing what was waiting for them.

This fleet consists of three huge building ships, 60 supply ships, and 20 cargo ships. Including three thousand elite infantrymen of the Qin State, three thousand sailors, one thousand merchants, and thousands of animals: horses, poultry, cattle, sheep, etc.

This is definitely the largest ocean-going fleet in the world. In this era, neither Rome nor Macedonia has a plug-in like Duran.

This is an era when all civilizations on earth are in their own closed circles, especially the Mayan civilization in South America, which is isolated overseas and far away from other civilizations.

"Sir, there are a lot of dark clouds ahead, and there may be a storm." This is not the first time they have encountered a storm. It can be said that the weather on the sea is more unpredictable.

Cai He stood up and walked outdoors. He was on the second floor of the building ship. Below was the wide deck, where many sailors were cleaning the deck.

Picking up Dulan's 'magic weapon' - the telescope, Cai He saw the sea water surging in front of him, and the dark clouds and sea water were connected together. He knew that this was not a good sign. Although the ships in the fleet were very strong, if they were overturned by waves, If so, they would be unable to make a comeback.

"Give the order, secure all items, and then keep a distance between all ships to prevent out-of-control collisions." "Order the captains of each ship to take care of the crew. We have to go through the storm." You can't hide, you can only go through it. .

Cai He smiled when he saw that the herald faithfully conveyed his orders to other ships in flags. At least he did not disappoint his master.

At the top of the flagship, there is the largest semaphore device in the fleet. As long as it is moved, the entire fleet's lookouts can see it. Although there was no pinyin in this era and the syllables could not be conveyed, it was still useful to separate the nautical terms. Other complex orders still need to be delivered by carrier pigeons or directly rowing boats.

In short, it is very convenient to use semaphore for simple commands.

Everyone took action immediately. Facing the storm, Cai He was also very nervous. The strong winds and waves were enough to overturn the entire fleet. It was dark just now when the sun was shining brightly. Cai He had people light up the lanterns on every corner of the ship to guide other ships. However, the lanterns were easily extinguished by the rushing water, and everyone could only judge the distance between themselves and the surrounding ships based on the vague outlines.

This storm was several times stronger than the previous one. This is the true temper of the sea.

Cai He couldn't help but worry. In such weather, they would definitely deviate from the course. In addition to the loss of the fleet, getting lost was even more terrifying.

Cai He was under great pressure on his first voyage without anyone's guidance. He didn't want to delay his master's mission. As the building boat rose and fell, the guards' expressions changed, and their ears heard the sound of the boat seeming to be disconnected. However, Cai He's expression remained as usual, which made people admire him.

At the beginning, they looked down on Cai He, a young eunuch, but his demeanor that remained calm despite the collapse of the mountain still won the respect of everyone in the fleet.

For example, Cai He is currently focusing on the navigation chart, calculating the direction and distance they may deviate.

Cai He didn't sleep all night. The storm lasted all day and night, and the sea calmed down the next day.

There was a big storm, and three supply ships and two cargo ships were missing, probably sunk. Several other boats were damaged by waves, and two were so serious that they could no longer move.

Cai He made a prompt decision, ignoring the lost supplies and crew, and first transported all the people and belongings on the ship that had lost power to the building ship. The entire fleet calculated the losses as quickly as possible, and the injured were treated immediately; the ships that were not seriously injured were repaired as they went, and they still had a long way to go.

Cai He stepped onto the deck again, and there was still the vast sea outside. Many crew members knelt on the deck and thanked God for their lives. The scene was very funny. Cai He did not stop them this time. There were countless difficulties ahead. One storm cost them seven ships. I am afraid that by the time they return to Da Qin, it would be good to have three ships left behind.

You must know that other ships are not small. Although they are small compared to the two-hundred-meter-long, thirty-meter-wide, and fifteen-meter-high building ship, this small ship is also seventy or eighty meters long, which is still a giant in this era.

Everything was ready. Cai He looked at the sun, determined the direction, and set sail again.

So Cai He said some words that obviously should not belong to this world: "All ships turn on their power mechanisms, six ticks to the left, and all ships follow."

At the bottom of the cabin, two crew members rotated a huge mechanism that looked like a stone mill. Once it was turned on, the ship would gain power. They had no idea how it worked, but it just made the ship move forward very quickly.

It was obviously a great ancient voyage, but once the power mechanism appeared, it became less majestic and more opportunistic.

However, the person involved, Cai He, said it didn't matter. What was important was to complete Duran's mission, to find a new continent and then circle the earth. What he saw along the way was still full of infinite unknowns.

"...On the thirtieth day after going to sea, a crew member saw an unknown bird. I knew we were close to land." Cai He's logbook for another day, the thirty-day voyage has made him fully mature. After getting up, many things happened after the big storm. A group of people wanted to rebel and seize the ship to return home, but they were suppressed. Cai He showed his supreme martial arts and jumped from the building ship to the cargo ship where the rebellion took place a hundred meters away. He killed the initiator and shocked everyone with force.

There was also an infectious disease, but fortunately Cai He had medicine to suppress the outbreak. This journey was not easy. The most serious ones were rebellions and infectious diseases, which almost shook the entire fleet.

But today a flying bird made everyone excited, because birds always land, which means they are already very close to the land.

"Report——" A long and passionate roar made Cai He stand up.

"Bao, it's Lu..."

Cai He didn't wait for the guard to finish speaking, and took a few steps outside. An undulating black shadow appeared on the horizon in the distance. Yes, it was land. There was no mistaking it.

Finally arrived, Cai He, who was only in his teens, couldn't help but shed tears. He had shouldered too much on his slender shoulders along the way and resisted too many doubts about the great master. Now he finally arrived on the mainland, and he could tell everyone He announced that his master was right, there was another continent on the other side of the sea, and the Grand Master would never lie.

Thinking of this, Cai He turned around and bowed in the opposite direction to the mainland, expressing his unswerving trust in Du Lan and his joy in fulfilling his mission.
