Sweep the World

That's what Fu Wei said, but his emotions are a bit pessimistic.

The search for the legendary super large island that is not much smaller than the mainland was from the eighth year of Yuanshuo...that is, after the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the southern coastal territory was taken over, Liu Yan had already ordered it.

I have been looking for that super large island for seven years. The islands explored in the middle are not too few. The relatively large ones are the islands of Luzon (Philippines) and Johor (Malaysia). A super large island, but without exception, it was denied after being reported.

It took seven years to complete the task. Fu Wei didn't think that his luck would be so good. Once he took office, he would be able to find that super big island and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the emperor.

In the spring in the Zhanghai (South China Sea), severe weather rarely occurs. That's why the center has no worries about the three guards riding on the same boat, and even Fu Wei and Si Hongzhuang, who are familiar with sea conditions, don't care.

In fact, the fleet sailed all the way to the south, and there was not even a bit of thrilling encounters. If it weren’t for the scenery along the way, the scenery was really good, and then the solo merchant ships or large-scale fleets that could continue to come and go. I don’t know what it should be boring. Point.

"Navigation at sea is a very boring thing." Fu Wei was lying on a wicker chair with a parasol above his head. He was just wearing a pair of pants, holding a glass of fruit juice in his hand, sucking it with a straw, swallowing and turning his head to look at Qian Jiantong with his eyes closed and wondering if there was Qian Jiantong who was asleep: "After sailing for ten and a half months, even so It's normal not to meet other people for a long time."

Qian Jiantong is very unfamiliar with HNA. He was reminded not to stare at the sunny sea all the time, or he didn't pay much attention to it because of lack of experience. As a result, his eyes went wrong.

Whether you are in a world of ice and snow, or in an environment of blue sea and blue sky, as long as the sun is sufficient enough, people really can't always stare at places where the reflected light is too strong. If it is light, it will cause temporary flashes of eyes and tears. , If it is serious, it is not impossible to go blind directly.

Qian Jiantong's eyes were only a minor problem. In addition to sleeping and staying in the cabin, he would inevitably stay on the deck with sunglasses.

The so-called sunglasses have long been uncommon in the Han Empire. For those who pay a lot of attention, you can buy sunglasses with crystal lenses at a high price, and you can buy glass products if you want to.

Navy officers usually buy more than one pair of sunglasses, mainly black lenses, and the rest buy lenses of other colors with a playful mind.

If you observe the personnel on the deck, whether they are working or hanging out, everyone is wearing a pair of sunglasses. If they still have their hair tied, or they are mostly wearing pants and wearing sunglasses, they can’t tell if they are ancient people.

A loud noise came from the other ships, and after careful identification, it shouted that a large group of dolphins were chasing the fleet.

Above the sea, from time to time, there will be a figure flying into the air, and they flashed past and rushed into the sea again, seeing the speed very fast.

Qian Jiantong was attracted to the gunwale, and looked to the rear side by the guardrail. He saw the white figures fluttering from time to time, and asked wonderingly: "It's so white, what kind of fish is it?"

Fu Wei happened to come over, looked at it, and said, "It's a white dolphin."

"Ah? Dolphin???" Qian Jiantong was a little stunned: "A dolphin in the sea?"

In Zhuxia's dictionary, dolphins refer to pigs. In addition, "hog" is a general term for pigs, and "彘" refers to pigs whose hind legs cannot stand upright.

"No problem, it's a dolphin in the sea. Your Majesty is called a dolphin." Fu Wei has no curiosity about dolphins, but he also knows that white dolphins are very rare, but blue, black, and striped dolphins are easy to touch. Above: "The Navy has caught some dolphins as a gift to your Majesty. Your Majesty calls the white dolphins we see now "Chinese White Dolphins" and specifically ordered not to be killed."

At present, Zhu Xia has many self-proclaimed names, such as Hua Xia, Zhu Xia, China, Hua Guo, and Central Plains. These names have long been spread, but the concept of "China" mentioned by Zhong Xin in 1930 has not yet been popularized.

Liu Yan is a "ruling the world", even if he just speaks casually, it is worthy of too many people to ponder and study. He mentioned the word "China". At the same time, I thought that this term was first mentioned by Liu Yan.

In fact, it’s right to understand it that way. In history, the term "China" is a collective term, but it will need to be added to the national title by China, 1 China, 1 Republic, and 1 China in 1912. Since then, "China" has been added again. The meaning of a modern country; in terms of geography, "China" no longer refers to the Central Plains region, but the entire territory of China; in terms of ethnicity, it does not only refer to the Han people, but all ethnic groups living in the Chinese territory, including Chinese and ethnic Chinese living overseas.

Although "Chinese White Dolphins" do not appear frequently in the southern coast of the Han Empire, they are found in many places.

Waiting until modern times, the "Chinese White Dolphin" has become a completely rare species, it is very difficult to find so little, only the northern part of Australia, the African Indian Ocean coast and the Southeast Asian Pacific coast are relatively large.

"Look." Fu Wei pointed to another sea area and put down the telescope in his hand: "The blue one and the striped one are also coming over to join in the fun."

Qian Jiantong is not familiar with the ocean, and has enough curiosity about marine life that he has never seen before. He also held a binoculars in his hand and looked at it from another direction. He really saw dolphins of different colors.

"Actually, it can be understood..." Qian Jian thought with the same face: "People are divided into yellow, white, black and brown. The dolphins in the sea naturally have different ethnic groups."

Fu Wei hadn't really thought about it in this direction. He was taken aback when he heard it, and then he kept nodding his head in agreement.

"What is that?" Qian Jiantong was suddenly a little surprised or worried, as he saw the location of his finger: "A large swath of moving black shadows."

From the sky to the sea, the black shadows are constantly moving in the sea, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and there is no fixed pattern.

Fu Wei was shocked by Qian Jiantong's nervous performance for a moment, raised his binoculars to observe hard, and said with a smile: "Migrating fish."

Qian Jiantong originally thought it was a behemoth in the sea, when he heard that it was a black shadow produced by an exaggerated number of fish in a group, he smiled awkwardly. He just wanted to say something, but when he heard the bells of the outer ships ringing, he asked, "Is it going to cast a net to fish?"

"Fishing?" Fu Wei had already turned around and walked towards the bridge, saying as he walked: "What kind of fish are you catching? It is to avoid the course to avoid accidents."

Qian Jiantong was stunned, wondering if the ship would still be attacked by those fish?

Not to mention, it really gave Qian Jiantong to Mengzhong. It was not an attack in the true sense, but more like a suicide strike.

A large number of fishes gather, they will not only swim in the sea, some fish will flop and shuttle when they rise close to the sea level.

The accident that Fu Wei said was not about the fish hitting the boat, it was that whenever the fish migrated, some big guys would inevitably follow.

It was almost that Fu Wei reached the bridge, and before people stood still, they saw a huge figure jumping out of the water in the distance.

"!!!" Qian Jian was the same as seeing the scene, and unconsciously opened his mouth: "Okay, so big..."

That huge figure is definitely more than 20 meters in length, with blue and white spots on the back, and beige on the abdomen.

The spots are not its original skin color. Its original skin color is blue-gray. The spots are actually some shellfish living creatures.

Qian Jiantong was stunned and hadn't recovered yet, another huge figure threw up in the distance.

The body of this one is bigger than before, and it should be close to 30 meters in length by visual inspection.

"There is a fish in the North Ming, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don’t know how many miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng’s back is not known for thousands of miles; it flies in anger, and its wings are like The clouds in the sky. It is the bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming. The Nanming one, Tianchi."

Qian Jiantong turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw Si Hongzhuang with a smile on his face.

"This thing is certainly not Kunpeng, it's a whale." Si Hongzhuang felt that he was a person who had seen the market, and said with a sense of superiority to Qian Jiantong with a shocked look on his face: "Aren't you surprised? , Isn't it amazing?"

The previous paragraph is of course a fragment of "Shan Hai Jing", and there is already a work "Shan Hai Jing", but the version is different from later generations. To put it bluntly, the "Shan Hai Jing" was not written by one person, but was constantly added and completed by some people from different eras. The current "Shan Hai Jing" is an unfinished work, missing the content after the Jin Dynasty.

"There is Niaoyan, its shape is like Zhai, and the five-cai essays are called Luanniao, and the world is peaceful when you see it." Si Hongzhuang asked with a smirk, "Surely you have read it?"

Qian Jian nodded with a dull expression on his face.

"I'm talking about peacocks." Si Hongzhuang continued to read: "Two hundred miles to the north, saying that the mountain of Beiyue is rich in spine and thorny wood. There are beasts, which look like cows, and have four horns, human eyes, and ears. , Its name is Zhuhuai, its sound is like a ming goose, which is cannibalism. The water of Zhuhuai flows out of Yan, and the west flows into Xiaoshui, where there are many serrata. The body of the fish is the head of the dog, and its sound is like a baby, and it is eaten. Crazy."

"I see." Qian Jiantong said with an ugly expression: "It means rhinos."

In the past, the Han people were just nesting in the old place of Zhu Xia, and when they read "Shan Hai Jing", they were reading a book of magic goblin weirdness.

Waiting for the footsteps of the Han people to step outside of the land of the summers, some animals that are no different from the strange animals described in the "Shan Hai Jing" can be found from other places.

One or two can be a coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence to keep searching for the "sacred beasts" described in the "Shan Hai Jing".

What they should be surprised and shocked is, did their ancestors step out of the clan land a long time ago, walk more than a few miles away, and return to the clan land safely, leaving behind what they saw and heard in words?

The fleet is evasive, and will not silly head-on collision, that is the experience of a bitter lesson.

It was only in the modern age that the Han people walked out of land and faced the sea, which is tantamount to a stage where they don’t understand anything and have no long-term accumulation of experience.

Because of the existence of a BUG character like Liu Yan, the exploration of the ocean by the Han people is different from that of any other nation.

Every nation in the world, when involved in unfamiliar fields, finds things that they have not come into contact with by chance, and gradually explores them bit by bit over a long period of time.

The contemporary Han people are not like that. They rushed into the new field of ocean exploration very recklessly from the very beginning. They surrounded the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Bohai Sea when they had almost no experience. Carrying out wanton fishing, rampage ignorantly.

As early as the second year of Yuanshuo, there had been accidents of ships being overturned by whales, and similar damages occurred frequently later.

People will face up to the painful lessons, and they will inevitably study them after they really pay attention. They also know that once a large number of fish groups are found, under normal circumstances there will be whales tailing.

"What's that thing?" Qian Jiantong raised his hand to point a short distance: "It's the triangle thing that moves very fast on the sea!"

Si Hongzhuang looked at it, his expression unchanged, and gave an answer: "Fin Loo."

"What?" Qian Jiantong is not only unfamiliar with the ocean, but also doesn't understand some characteristics of octopus, but he knows that there is no danger in Si Hongzhuang's expression: "The speed is so fast!"

"A shark is a bloodthirsty creature." Si Hongzhuang could see that Qian Jiantong had a misunderstanding, but he didn't want to misunderstand Qian Jiantong because of his own words today: "A whale with an extremely large body will not take the initiative. Attack behavior is different from sharks."

In fact, if Qian Jiantong pays more attention to it, he will definitely not have a blank understanding of marine life... at least not about whales and sharks. UU Reading www.uukanshu.cOM

After all, it was not a short time for the Han Empire to develop marine fisheries. Especially the fishery in the eastern seas was very developed, and whales and sharks were caught and killed. In particular, it had a complete set of operations in whaling, and it also extended many aspects. .

It just so happened that Qian Jiantong saw a shark protruding out of the water, and saw a dolphin biting on the fangs of that mouth. In an instant, the sea was blood-red, and then more fins appeared in that sea. .

"You can see it." Si Hongzhuang explained, "In fact, there are not many sharks in Dahan's offshore waters. The Indochina Peninsula and the coast of Asan are different."

"This kind of creature called shark will actively attack ships?" Qian Jiantong must understand this: "Have you ever hunted sharks?"

"Of course there is." Si Hongzhuang had done it when he was a captain of the Pingman Captain's Department, and said: "It's very easy to kill. As long as it smells bloody, they will come here desperately."

In an instant, Qian Jiantong had at least four plans for planned massacres that were troubled by sharks. He heard very clearly just now, there are sharks along the coast of Asan!
