Datang Nongwang

Chapter 734 Arrival
Dense fog does not allow boats.

This is common sense and the most basic thing.

Not to mention the dense fog, even in heavy fog, all ports will be closed, and no ships are allowed to sail on the river.

after all.

It's not a car, it's a boat.

The car can stop suddenly with one foot of the brake, but this boat cannot stop with one foot of the brake.

Even if the ship stops, she will sail forward for a certain distance under the influence of inertia.

Small boats are fine, but the bigger the boat, the harder it is to control.

This is not.

The B-type paddle steamer named B-[-], under the suspension of B-[-], chose not to stop in time, and finally hit the B-[-] in front of it.

This collision made Yiyi's crew members terrified.

The B-type paddle steamer is already big enough, and it is considered a high incense if no one is killed in this collision.

Captain B led the crew to check the stern of the ship.

When they came to the stern of the boat, under the extremely poor visibility, they saw that the stern of Yi Yi's boat had been smashed into pieces by Yi Er.

Er Er's bow was also damaged.

The bow is harder than the stern.

The material used for the bow is more than that for the stern, and several squares of wood are added to the bow.

Damage is damage, but luckily at least it can continue sailing.

But the stern of Yiyi's boat has already been severely damaged. If it is not repaired in time, when strong winds come, seawater will inevitably flood into the boat.

"Captain, what should we do? The fog is too thick, and we can't see the specific situation on the other side, and we can't report the situation to King Li." A crew member checked briefly and reported to Captain Yiyi.

The captain of Yiyi let out a long breath, "Wait, wait until the thick fog clears. Send someone to Yier to call Guo Dan, who rammed my ship into this state. I'll see how he explains it to King Li. "

Guo Da is the captain of the second ship.

The captain of Yiyi is also surnamed Guo.

The captains of Yiyi and Yier are both from Qingfengzhai.

The person who can be appointed as the captain and control a ship must be someone from Qingfengzhai.

After all, they have been playing with boats for several years. They know water skills, some things about sailing, and even learned how to operate and simple maintenance of paddle steamers.

Naturally, the captains of all the ships in Li Chongyuan's fleet were from Qingfengzhai.

Except, of course, for his giant paddle steamer.

at this time.

miles away from them.

The three paddle steamers C[-] have already merged together.

And, with the efforts of C[-] crew members, all C[-] crew members who hit the bottom and entered the water were rescued on board.

As for Binger, although it was not damaged due to hitting the bottom, all the crew members boarded the Bingsan Ming steamer because it hit the bottom and because of the thick fog.

This is an order issued by Li Chongyuan, and it is also what Li Chongyuan once said.

He Li Chongyuan can build the boat, but no one can lose anything.

Although, the price of a C-type paddle steamer is extremely expensive for these crew members.

After all, [-] yuan of money is enough for a person in a village of [-] households to live a prosperous life.

But comparing life with money, Li Chongyuan directly chose life, not caring about a ship.

And these crew members also complied with Li Chongyuan's explanation, and threw there the bottom of the ship, the bottom of which was damaged and entered the water, and even the bottom of the ship, and threw there the second one that just touched the bottom.

Carrying out this is what Li Chongyuan asked everyone to remember.

Wanting to control the overall situation, if there are captains or crew members who disobey orders, he, Li Chongyuan, would rather replace them than let them aboard.

The ideological education class a few days before boarding the ship was not for nothing.

The dense fog does not disperse, and the boats cannot.

And this burst of dense fog, from the sudden arrival, did not dissipate until the evening.

Although, the fog has lightened a little.

Originally, there was no distinction between humans and animals one foot away, but at dusk, it was only two feet away. If you want to achieve the level of sailing, you need at least fifty feet of visibility.

The stop inertial distance of a type C paddle steamer is about fifteen feet.

Type B reached thirty feet.

And Type A even reached a distance of fifty feet.

As for Li Chongyuan's ship, the inertial distance of the giant paddle steamer has reached an astonishing distance of eighty to ninety feet.

With such a long distance, as long as the eyesight is not good, a collision accident will inevitably occur.

But at the moment, the thick fog has only faded a little bit, Li Chongyuan and the others can only wait.

On the boat, Li Chongyuan looked at the thick fog in front of him worriedly, and said to himself, "I don't know what happened to them. If it hits the boat or touches the reef, it will be my fault."

"Xiao Langjun, don't worry, they will be fine. The captains of the ships are all from Qingfengzhai. They have several years of experience in sailing and know how to avoid all kinds of troubles and accidents. If something happens, there will definitely be the sound of Tie Leizi coming from the front." Xing Ba said in relief.

Li Chongyuan looked back at Xingba and nodded slightly.

Li Chongyuan also knew it in his heart.

My own worries are useless.

Moreover, as Xingba said.

If something happened to the five ships exploring the way, the officers and soldiers of the Xiang family who he had arranged among the ships would definitely ignite iron thunderbolts and send news.

There are several officers and men from the Xiang family on each ship.

These officers and soldiers of the Xiang family were all arranged by Li Chongyuan on board the ships.

Why?

The reason is very simple, that is, I am afraid that someone will do things with evil intentions.

At the same time, it was Li Chongyuan's special arrangement for the purpose of communication.

Of course there is another intention.

That is, if someone really messes up, these officers and soldiers of the Xiang family can control the ship without orders.

Tie Leizi, this was given to them by Li Chongyuan.

In addition to iron thunder, there are also fire guns.

And what Xingba said about using Tie Leizi to send back news is not really using Tie Leizi to send messages, but the Tie Leizi is not a real Tie Leizi, it is just Li Chongyuan's improvement and used to send messages It's just a signal flare.

For example, copper powder and aluminum powder are added to gunpowder.

Although this kind of signal flare will also explode, the degree of injury is much smaller.

Moreover, this is Li Chongyuan's improved signal flare for communication, but it is really not an iron thunderbolt.

Xingba said this mainly because he didn't know what it was used for, he only knew that it was a kind of iron thunder that could emit green and white light at night.

This time.

For Li Chongyuan's voyage to such a far place, a signal flare is necessary.

Besides these things, Tie Leizi Li Chongyuan also got a lot on his boat.

Across the ocean, no one knows what to expect.

When encountering the siege of the natives, Tie Leizi is used to save lives.

I have too few people, only more than [-] people.

If tens of thousands of aborigines come, whether Li Chongyuan's [-] or so people can beat them is the second thing. What Li Chongyuan is afraid of is that these aborigines will use poison.

It was introduced in the documentary of the previous life.

Whether it's Indians, Mayans, or some indigenous people, etc.

These people have been living in the jungle, and they have figured out all the poisons.

and.

These people have no concept of country, let alone the so-called concept of life.

When there is no food, it is not impossible for people to cook.

and so.

Li Chongyuan got a lot of iron thunders on board, just in case.

The thick fog lasted for three days.

During these three days, the dense fog dissipated slowly, not all at once.

When the thick fog cleared enough to reach a hundred feet, the Bingsan boat came back to report the situation ahead to Li Chongyuan.

When Li Chongyuan gave the order to sail, he arrived at the place where B, B, and B collided. After seeing the bow and stern of B-type paddle steamer C collided into such a shape, he was really helpless.

"Let's make some simple repairs first, and then make major repairs after we get to the other side." The nearby island is bare, and if you want to repair it, you need trees.

As for the paddle steamer B, which hit the bottom and had a big hole in the bottom, Li Chongyuan had to have someone dismantle it, and put the wood on board B, B, and B.

Shipbuilding is complicated, but this interpretation is much more complicated than shipbuilding.

But for the sake of wood, and especially for the sake of being able to properly repair the B[-]B[-] ships, Li Chongyuan could only do this.

Li Chongyuan, the boatman, brought ten of them before departure.

Although ten boatmen are few, it is still possible to repair ships.

The fleet moved on.

The forward ship this time is still a Type C paddle steamer. As for the two Type B paddle steamers, they can only stay in the fleet.

After Adak.

This road has never encountered a foggy day, but it has encountered several strong windy days.

Every time there is a strong wind, the fleet has to stop at a certain island to avoid the attack of the strong wind.

The original distance of two thousand miles can be reached in three days.

But for such a short distance, it took Li Chongyuan and the others half a month to reach the Shelikov Strait because of the strong wind.

When the fleet entered the Shelikov Strait, on Li Chongyuan's map, there was another place named by him.

Li Chongyuan has also named the blank space in the original Bering Sea.

Every place Li Chongyuan passed through will be marked in detail.

If there is any discrepancy with the map he drew before, Li Chongyuan will modify it to make the map more accurate.

even.

Li Chongyuan and the others passed through every island in the Aleutian Islands this time, and the shape and size of each island will be clearly marked.

And this time.

After Li Chongyuan and the others passed through the Shelikov Strait, the name of this strait was also named by Li Chongyuan, and Li Chongyuan also marked a general situation about the length and width of the strait, as well as the depth of the sea.

"Xiao Langjun, there is a message from the ship ahead, asking how long it will take to reach that piece of land." Just as Li Chongyuan was concentrating on correcting the map, Xing Ba knocked on the door and entered.

Li Chongyuan raised his head and said with a relaxed expression: "When we arrive at this strait, we have already arrived at the continent I mentioned. However, there is still some distance from where we landed. We still need to sail for at least thousands of miles before we can get there. To be able to get where I'm talking about."

"It's still so far away?" Xing Ba was a little tired of the life on the boat.

Not just row eight.

It can be said that every crew member is equally tired of the life on board.

Everyone hoped to arrive at the place Li Chongyuan mentioned earlier.

Once on the shore, everyone's first thought is to have a good night's sleep.

Every day on the ship is spent either in staggering or in worry.

Everyone's spirits were concentrated, and they were all afraid that one day they would fall asleep because of strong winds or typhoons, and they would be overturned on the bottom of the sea.

Li Chongyuan got up, walked out of the cabin, walked towards the deck, and said as he walked: "It will take at least ten days and a half months from the place I mentioned. Moreover, in these ten days and a half months, We can’t meet the typhoon yet, otherwise, the time will probably have to be increased.”

Come on.

It didn't take long for Li Chongyuan and the others to arrive here from Tang.

Although a Type C paddle steamer was lost by passing through the Aleutian Islands, it can sail hundreds of miles in a day under good weather conditions.

And the Shelikov Strait is at least five or six thousand miles away from where Li Chongyuan is going to land.

Ten days and a half months, this is still a short time.

"Xiao Langjun, the current crew members are not as energetic as before. If they don't go ashore again, I'm afraid of accidents." Xingba said worriedly.

When he came to the deck, Li Chongyuan looked into the distance and sighed softly: "Oh!!! I also know what you said. We have to rush to that place now. If we stop halfway, I'm afraid that the crew members will feel angry. It was vented directly."

Line eight is speechless.

He understood what Li Chongyuan said, and he also understood that it was really not suitable to go ashore at the moment.

Although, the fleet can see the land, and all the crew members are looking at the land on the left side in a daze.

But Li Chongyuan's order was to continue sailing, and they could only follow orders.

a few days later.

The fleet arrived in Hecate Strait.

Three days later.

The fleet finally arrived at the planned landing point of Li Chongyuan, Victoria Bay.

This bay is exactly where Li Chongyuan plans to land.

When the fleet arrived here, Li Chongyuan's map directly added a name, Tang Liwan.

Yes.

Li Chongyuan named the bay after Tang Li.

Except here, other places are named after people.

"Send down the order, put down the boat, let some crew members go ashore, and build a camp. The officers and men of the Xiang family are in charge of vigilance, and some officers and men will be sent out for reconnaissance. If there is any change, please report at any time." The fleet stopped at a natural port, and Li Chongyuan issued an order Landing instructions.

Following Li Chongyuan's order, the boat was lowered and the crew landed.

The soldiers of the Xiang family began to explore the distance with their sharp soldiers.

When it was reported that no human beings were found within twenty miles except for some strange animals, Li Chongyuan also got off the boat and set foot on the place he always wanted to come.

Li Chongyuan stepped on a foreign land, feeling like a dream, "It's finally here."

Li Chongyuan still felt his body shaking.

After being shaken on the boat for a long time and suddenly landed on the shore, I still couldn't adapt in a short time.
