Chapter 238 (1/2)

At the north and south ends of the equator, there are two windless zones, called the equatorial windless zone, which is several thousand miles wide.

Due to the special geographical location and the Autobiography of the planet, it is usually calm and calm.

In order to trade with the pirate ships of abandoned islands, the company's fleet crossed the southern windless belt, sailed into the equatorial waters, and then anchored somewhere in the sea.

The matter of the fleet was completely left to danzel, because the fleet boss and the captain were to leave for a while

The story of the crown prince of marquis Powell was known clearly through Eros, and there was nothing to worry about.

With the fleet's own ability, it can't cross the current, so it can only wait for itself to come back. On one hand, through Nicholas and others, Fowles can monitor the fleet anytime and anywhere. Of course, the most important point is that at this moment, only danzel has the skills and ability to command the people in the fleet.

Eros's fleet completed the deal, took a group of ”companions” such as Fowles on board, and then set sail with the anchor.

It is easy to infer that the transport entrance of the overlord's certificate is in the equatorial sea area, and it is impossible to cross the North windless belt with the abandoned islands.

”Cheep, cheep...” A few wooden boats swaying left and right opened their old sails and sailed with difficulty under the weak wind force between the equator.

”How much longer?” Unfolding the image, Eros raised his voice to ask the stern of the ship. The shadow of the overlord's certificate is not only a roll of ship's transport reel, but also provides the relative position and distance between the ship and the return transport point before it is torn.

The mermaid pirate at the stern yelled. His right hand pulled up the heavy rope on the side of the boat and threw it into the sea. His left hand flipped over an hourglass.

The thick rope is coiled into a plate, and the dish is very skillful. There is a buoy in the center. After falling into the water, it floats on the surface of the water. Then, with the navigation of the ship, the buoy is taken as the axis, and it is extended a little bit.

The crew watched the process without blinking, until the hourglass was out. He looked at the scale on the rope and called out a number.

This is the oldest, but in Pavel, a fairly advanced method of measuring the speed of a ship, that is, the knot made on the rope to judge the length of the rope.

Before that, ships sailing on the sea, only by guessing the sense of distance, ordinary charts can not be drawn, so they can only sail offshore, not dare to enter the deep sea.

On the edge, someone had been looking at the shadow roll in the hand of Eros and listening to the number reported by his companions in the distance, and quickly staged it in the sand pool of the command module

Or how to say, navigation is a very important factor to promote the knowledge of mathematics!

After a long calculation and painting in the sand pond, the pirate raised his head and scratched his head with a sad look: ”commander, if you press this speed, it seems that you need to Need to... ” He stammered, ”fifty days...”

”What?” Ailos can't help growling. The man's neck shrinks in horror, and he looks very powerful.

Fowles was beside ”puffing” a voice, pointing to a place on the sand pool: ”you are wrong here.”

”Ah? Wrong? ” The man was stunned and looked at it carefully. He immediately understood and patted his head, ”well, it's really wrong. It should be Five days. ”

Eros glared at the man, angry that he let himself fall in front of Fowles: ”it was a good wind, it took two days, now there's a bit of headwind, it's a bit longer, let your men settle down.”

Five days is indeed a long time. So many people live together on four boats, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes and frictions between them. That's why Eros said this.

However, both of them underestimated the efficiency of their pirates. They didn't need five days. In the evening, the two gangs started fighting

At the beginning, the two sides were somewhat restrained. They followed the leader's advice and did not provoke each other. What brought them together was not an invisible contradiction, but a friendly atmosphere of congeniality.

After all, are you pirates
