C874 (1/2)
Xiong Yu looked at the small words on the ring, and his heart moved. Wasn't the second year of Xuantong the year of 1910?
It was the most chaotic period in China, the last year of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the eve of the first World War.
However, how could this ring engraved with Chinese characters appear in the mouth of a fish?
Xiong Yu was puzzled. He could not get any more information with only one ring. After thinking for a moment, Xiong Yu murmured to himself, ”maybe I think too much. This ring should just fall into the sea by accident and be eaten by the fish.”
Xiong Yu carefully put away the ring and stopped thinking about it. He continued to fish with Bao Sanjing.
About an hour later.
Xiong Yu looked at the watch on his mobile phone, looked up at Riyue Island, flashed a color in his eyes, and said, ”it seems that something is wrong. According to the previous plan, isn't it an hour before we arrive at Riyue island?”
Bao San Jin didn't notice the abnormality. He said casually, ”yes, it should be coming soon. What's the matter?”
Xiong Yu's face changed slightly and said, ”now an hour has passed.”
Bao Sanjin also looked at the time with a puzzled look on his face. Then he looked at the opposite direction of Sun Moon Island and said in surprise, ”well, how do I feel that the distance between Sun Moon Island and Sun Moon Island is still so far? I'll go and ask if the captain is going in the wrong direction.”
”Captain, Captain, where are you now? Why haven't you arrived?” Bao Sanjin yelled at the walkie talkie.
The walkie talkie was silent for a while, then a slightly alarmed voice appeared, saying: ”there is something unusual in this sea area. I have been driving in the direction of Sun Moon Island, but I have not arrived. It seems that I am circling around in the same place.”
Bao Sanjin's face changed. He immediately remembered what he had seen about the sea area when he came here. He called to the walkie talkie again: ”is there something wrong with the navigation system on the ship?”
The captain replied, ”the positioning system and the navigation system are all out of order. Now we can only judge by the naked eye.”
Bao Sanjin said in a deep voice, ”have you ever encountered this kind of situation at sea before?”
The captain replied, ”I've never met this kind of situation. However, I have a friend who met it once, and then escaped after a near death experience. I haven't asked too much about his specific situation. I don't know how he finally got out.”
Bao Sankin was silent, took a look at Xiong Yu and sighed: ”maybe something happened.”
Xiong Yu took a deep breath, looked at the endless sea, and suddenly said, ”can the outline of the island we see be just a mirage?”
Bao Sankin was stunned and said, ”mirage? It's impossible. Before our positioning system failed, it showed that we were around Sun Moon Island
Xiong Yu was also puzzled. From the sea, in addition to the endless sea, the outline of the Sun Moon Island in front of him, coupled with the previous navigation and positioning, it did not look like a mirage.
However, if it is not a mirage, what can it be?
Xiong Yu thought for a moment and said to Bao Sanjing, ”let's go and have a look at the ship's cab.”
Bao Sanjin nodded, got up, threw the fishing rod aside, and with Xiong Yu walked toward the cab of the ship.
In the cockpit, a captain in his 40s with a thick beard was watching the various instruments in the cabin nervously. When Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjing came in, he said hello to them.
Xiong Yu walked into the cab and directly said to the captain, ”before I came here, I carefully read the map. The Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast of our current position.”
The captain looked at Xiong Yu unexpectedly and said, ”you are right. In my experience, the island should also be in the northeast of our country.”
